معرفی
Maria Giovanna Musso is an Associate Professor in the Department of Social and Economic Sciences at Sapienza University of Rome, specializing in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of social theory, complexity science, and gender studies. Her work critically examines violence against women, media representations, and the social imaginary through systemic frameworks.
Her research spans social change dynamics, complexity theory applications to sustainability, gender violence analysis, social imaginary construction, media sociology, and philosophy of technology. Musso investigates how digital media reshapes cultural narratives around violence, the phenomenological dimensions of femininity in technological contexts, and the role of imagination in societal transformation. She employs interdisciplinary methodologies blending sociology, philosophy, and cultural studies to address systemic issues in globalized societies.
Analysis of her 2019-2023 publications reveals consistent thematic clusters: evolving media portrayals of gender violence (particularly in streaming content), theoretical explorations of social imaginary through literary figures like Don Quixote, and philosophical inquiries into technology's impact on identity. Her work demonstrates increasing integration of complexity theory with gender studies, emphasizing non-linear social dynamics and systemic interdependencies in violence prevention.

Musso leads three significant research projects funded through Sapienza University:
- "Social representations of violence against women between tradition and social change"
- "Social representations and gender violence in a systemic approach: men's reasons"
- "Online violence against women"
