SUMMARY:The Mafia Discourse Between Imagery and Reality: Towards a Re-conce
 ptualization of the Mafia Phenomenon?
DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker : Valentina TENTI. Ph.D in Criminology (Universit
 à Cattolica del Sacro Cuore\, Milan) and post-doctoral fellow at the Cent
 re International de Criminologie Comparée (Université de Montréal)\, Va
 lentina Tenti has authored several publications including articles and rep
 orts on organized crime\, economic crime\, network analysis and crime issu
 es in general. In September 2012\, she testified as a criminologist and ex
 pert in organized crime issues at the Quebec’s Commission of Inquiry on 
 the Awarding and Management of Public Contracts in the Construction Indust
 ry.SummaryThis conference aims to raise questions about the image problems
  of the Mafia phenomenon and to de-construct the Mafia discourse through d
 ifferent “looking glasses” – imagery and reality – in an attempt t
 o see\, understand and define such phe-nomenon better. The author will pre
 sent the preliminary results of the study she is conducting at CICC. An an
 alysis of court evidence gathered during Operation Colisée\, a police pro
 be which is considered the largest investigation into the Italian Mafia in
  Quebec\, is reported. The discourse around the imagery/reality dichotomy 
 of the Mafia phenomenon is pursued by examining characteristics of the cri
 minal group targeted during the investigations as seen by the network anal
 ysis of the intercepted communication patterns included in the prosecution
  material. The line of inquiry guiding this study examines the extent to w
 hich conventional descriptions of Mafia-type groups (formal organizational
  structure and mode of function) are valid reflections of the portrayal th
 at emerges from the analysis.
