[ecrea] The democratic wager of Communication, international colloquium, Padova 6-9 June 2011

We are pleased to announce that from June 6 to 9, 2011, the University of

Padova will host an international colloquium titled: The Democratic
Wager of Communication (La sfida democratica della comunicazione).

This scientific event is organized by Dr. Claudia Padovani (DSSP,
University of Padova) and Prof. Marc Raboy (DAHCS, McGill University)
and is sponsored by the University of Padova, McGill University, and
Media@McGill.

Participants coming from Canadian and European Universities will discuss
issues raised by societal transformations in contemporary societies,
where notions of democracy, power, participation and citizenship are
constantly being re-negotiated and debated, also as a result of
transformations in processes, policies and technologies of
communication. The aim of the colloquium is to foster an international
scholarly agenda to address the democratic wager of communication.

More information and a detailed program can be found at:

The colloquium takes place in the context of the Festival of
Communication (http://www.festivaldellacomunicazione.org/).



Best wishes

Claudia Padovani
