En este artículo se analiza la cobertura de noticias sobre las mafias italianas en «Clarín» entre 1997 y 2020. En particular, el interés se centra en los elementos paratextuales que los 219 artículos que conforman el corpus presentan. Los resultados confirman una jerarquía en el imaginario mafioso que el principal diario argentino pone en circulación liderada por la cosa nostra siciliana, más cercano a la violencia y al discurso jurídico-policial que al político-institucional, con evidentes connotaciones espectacularizantes. Con relación a la Argentina, en los últimos años se constata un incipiente reconocimiento, acotado y circunstancial, de la presencia de diversas agrupaciones mafiosas que pone en relativa tensión algunos de los argumentos negacionistas clásicos sobre la presencia mafiosa en el país.

A comparative analysis is presented of the testimony of A. Carl Kotchian, President of Lockheed Corporation, and that of Joseph Valachi, reputed member of La Cosa Nostra, before Senate in vestigative committees. In the Lockheed case, the corporation was found to be making illicit payments to foreign officials in order to secure sales abroad. The legislation enacted following the investiga tion was the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, which established criminal penalties for any payment made by American corporations or employees in pursuit of sales contracts abroad.

And Control

Territorial control is one of the most important elements for the survival of the mafia. It is an obligated path to be able to obtain and control economic activities and to penetrate into all profitable sectors. Without territorial control it is impossible to control voters and without it all relationships with politics wither and die. It is within the territory where the imposition of "pizzo" (protection money) and extortion are planned against businesses and firms. This impending presence is also the cause in which citizens and families find themselves submitted to violence, the abuse of power and, if not only, to a limitation to their sphere of action. Telling the story about the scappati is to explain how, by their use of violence, Cosa Nostra has taken away from the State its lawful supremacy over large parts of the national territory. They planned the removal or deportation, under the threat of death, of entire families connected to the mafia. This story began in 1980 and is yet to be finished. The scappati migrated to the usa during the second mafia war and today they would like to come back to Palermo. However, not all agree with this possibility. The Sicilian mafia is in a critical position and if these refugees return it could produce a drastic and unexpected change in its leadership. Reading the pizzini (small notes of mafia members), analysing these sources, reconstructing scenarios makes it is easy to image what could happen if they returned: a new bloody conflict among mafia families.Key words: Cosa Nostra, territorial control, transnational crime, maxi-trial, mafia wars, the scappati.Parole chiave: Cosa nostra, controllo del territorio, crimine transnazionale, maxiprocesso, guerre di mafia, scappati.

L'articolo analizza il ruolo che la prassi linguistica svolge all'interno di Cosa Nostra, in particolare la relazione che si instaura tra i processi di identificazione e l'uso del linguaggio: in che modo le scelte linguistiche contribuiscono a formare il senso di appartenenza al gruppo Cosa Nostra? E, simmetricamente, come tali scelte concorrono alla costruzione di un modello identitario di riferimento?
