edited by Donatella Izzo, Gianna Fusco. Fabrizio Serra, 2018, pp. 112 (XVII, 2018) -- This issue of «Fictions» has devoted to an analysis of expertise and the modes of TV narrativization in United States. Some of the contributions engage with the Trump era, reading TV shows as symptomatic of some of the social and cultural processes that led to his election, while most others deal with the representation of 'folk experts' and with the inadequacies of these figures. Figler reads Breaking Bad's protagonist and his popular reception as symptomatic of the phenomena that would emerge in full sight with Donald Trump's election. By examining the connection between White's expertise in chemistry, his career as a ruthless criminal, and his patriarchal self-justification, Figler foregrounds the exceptionalistic nature of this nexus, in which white male power is always already taken for granted and therefore authorized. White masculinity and the Trump era are equally central to Spriggs's From Castle to Trump: he focuses his attention on the new paradoxical form of trustworthiness based on the value of shared distrust. The essay of Wlodarczyk is a critical analysis of César Millan's reality show centered on dog-training. Gianna Fusco's article is focused on the crucial economic and symbolic role of homeownership. Marina Guglielmi's case study presents an ambivalent attitude to the expert, a figure that is made simultaneously central and ineffective in 13 Reasons Why. Finally, a less ambivalent understanding of experts is provided by Sonia Maria Melchiorre's article, in which linguistic analysis meets gender studies. Questo numero di «Fictions» è dedicato a un'analisi delle competenze e delle modalità della narrazione televisiva negli Stati Uniti. Alcuni dei contributi si collegano all'era di Trump, leggendo gli spettacoli televisivi come sintomatici di alcuni dei processi sociali e culturali che hanno portato alla sua elezione, mentre molti altri si occupano della rappresentazione degli 'esperti popolari' e della inadeguatezza di queste figure. Figler legge il protagonista di Breaking Bad e la sua recezione popolare come sintomatica di fenomeni che sarebbero venuti in piena luce con l'elezione di Donald Trump. Esaminando la connessione tra l'esperienza di White in chimica, la sua carriera di criminale spietato e la sua auto-giustificazione patriarcale, Figler mette in primo piano la natura eccezionale di questo nesso, in cui il potere maschile bianco è sempre già dato per scontato e quindi autorizzato. La mascolinità bianca e l'era di Trump sono ugualmente centrali in From Castle to Trump di Spriggs, che concentra la sua attenzione sulla nuova paradossale forma di affidabilità basata sul valore della sfiducia condivisa. Il saggio di Wlodarczyk è un'analisi critica del reality show di César Millan incentrato sull'addestramento del cane. L'articolo di Gianna Fusco è poi dedicato al ruolo cruciale, economico e simbolico, della proprietà della casa. Lo studio di Marina Guglielmi presenta un atteggiamento ambivalente nei confronti dell'esperto, una figura che è resa simultaneamente centrale e inefficace in 13 Reasons Why. Un giudizio degli 'esperti' meno ambivalente è infine fornito da Sonia Maria Melchiorre, in cui l'analisi linguistica incontra gli studi di genere.
