Abstract

The article is concerned with a conference of the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi, in Barcelona (Centro de Cultura Contemporánea, January 20th 2003). In his speech the well-known intellectual didn’t spoke about its literary work but exposed its worrisome reflections on this media and economic, non ideological and venal phenomena, “berlusconismo”, that has settled accurate in Italy, getting in through the cracks of the social fracture and through the emptiness of the cracked left wing. From here, it is run then on the –virtual, televised- new spaces of political debate and on their results in effective votes and audience rating.
