Abstract
This chapter reconstructs the research work developed within the volume, with the aim of bringing out new elements. Using the abductive process within this chapter, therefore starting from the facts—understood as the infodemic disorder that afflicted public institutions and citizens during the first period of the Covid-19 pandemic—the evidence is presented. It is therefore a question of inserting the six research into the nested case study. Through the technique of lexical worlds, the views of the crisis have been reconstructed. The chapter also traces the limits of this study by opening new avenues for the analysis of the communication crisis produced by the pandemic.

Notes

In his essay, Mannheim (1952) faces the methodological problem of the scientific study of cultural objects mainly identified among the products of art and religion. Using the scholar’s teachings, we here extend the path he followed to the cultural products of media technology, and in particular to social media.
