dallangolazione

Dallangolazione is a neologism used in Italian linguistics and media studies to describe the deliberate reframing of a message by presenting it from alternative angular perspectives. The term combines dalla (from) and angolazione (angle or orientation) and is applied to analyze how framing choices influence interpretation, bias, and audience reception.

Conceptually, dallangolazione rests on perspectival shift, linguistic framing, and multi-angle representation. It involves selecting a principal vantage point and then re-presenting the same content through other stakeholders’ standpoints, rhetorical moods, or narrative angles, often using lexical choices, modality, and syntactic structure to emphasize certain aspects while downplaying others.

In journalism, education, and AI-assisted content generation, practitioners may use dallangolazione to encourage critical literacy, reveal blind spots, or illustrate consequences for diverse groups. Practitioners can produce parallel passages reflecting residents, policymakers, and critics, or generate a sequence of variants that reveal different framings of the same facts.

Critics argue that dallangolazione risks confusion or manipulation if not clearly labeled or if the shifts obscure core facts. Proponents emphasize its value as a methodological tool for transparency and inclusivity, provided that the framing is disclosed and justified.

Examples include a policy brief reframing a budget proposal from multiple affected stakeholders; in theory, it could be applied to translation studies, media analysis, and AI-generated discourse.
