The right to information and communication has been traditionally considered one of the pillars of citizenship as well as of the democratic system. However, in the specific case of external citizenship its strategic role is not so evident. In this article, I discuss its implications for the representation and participation of external citizens. Given the general characteristics of Italian residents in Argentina, they represent a privileged case of study. Not only because of the fact that they are the biggest group of Italian residents abroad, but also due to the minority presence of Italian native-speakers among them. This trait turns out to be of great interest in order to know better the role that language barriers play in accessing public information to cast an informed vote. The preliminary results of an ongoing online research on the reception of the Italian broadcaster’s international channel in Argentina indicate that, rather than hinder access, language is, at least for those who are able to understand it, the main reason to tune to it.

Un esencial excursus acerca de las vicisitudes del personaje de Ifigenia en el mito es la premisa para el análisis dedicado por el autor a la presencia de lo divino –particularmente, a la intervención de Artemisa y a la influencia de las artes adivinatorias– en las Ifigenias de Eurípides. La clave de lectura sugerida por las dos tragedias ofrece un nuevo aporte a la controversial cuestión acerca de la relación entre el dramaturgo ateniense y la religión. An essential excursus about the vicissitudes of the character of Iphigenia in the myth is the preamble for the analysis dedicated by the author to the presence of the divine – particularly to the intervention of Artemis and to the influence of the divinatory art – in the Iphigenias by Euripides: the reading key suggested for the two tragedies adds a new tessera to the controversial question relevant to the relationship between the Athenian dramatist and the religion.

En la elegía 1 W., Mimnermo espera que llegue la muerte cuando la vida ya no le ofrezca más amor. Según nos parece, él no desea “morir", sino “estar ya muerto" cuando lo alcance la vejez, como parece indicar el perfecto del v. 2, que permite intuir también su miedo a la muerte. In the elegy 1 W. Mimnermo wishes the death when life won’t offer him love any more: as a matter of fact, in my opinion, he does not wish “to die", but “to be already dead" when the old age will reach him, as the perfect of v. 2 seems to indicate, which lets also guess his fear of the decease. Fil: Perotti, Pier Angelo.
