Aspetti della manipolazione strategica in House of Cards

We will analyze the TV series House of Cards (Netflix 2013 – on air) to check how the power relations are represented in a hybrid TV fiction genre called “political drama” (Grasso, Penati 2016). In semiotic terms, we will deal with forms of "strategic manipulation" and forms of "adjustment" of the flexible management of the power lead be the main characters (Landowski 2005). In our perspective House of Cards presents “manipulation” and “ad-justment” strategies that are not only intersubjective but also intermedial and transmedia practices.
