[ecrea] Call for Papers /Research & Development/ "Politics, culture and communication in the populist momento”

Barranquilla, April 2017

The journal /Research & Development/, which is housed at the Universidad 
del Norte (Barranquilla - Colombia) wishes to inform the scientific and 
academic community in Latin America and internationally that a call for 
papers for a special issue is open: "Politics, culture and communication 
in the populist momento,” which will be published in the second half of 
2018.

In the Western world, democratic regimes, whether more developed or more 
recent, are experiencing a moment in which different political movements 
are appearing that have a markedly populist character.

In order to present different points of view and reflect on these 
dynamics, we decided to edit a special issue dedicated to the analysis 
of the political, cultural, and media implications of these trends. We 
invite researchers to offer manuscripts describing this phenomenon 
either in a national context, or by comparing its characteristics and 
implications between countries, in an international context. For 
example, some topics such as the following might be addresseed:

• Falsified and false news

• Opposition to expertise

• Emphasis on emotion rather than rationality or logic

• Lack of credibility in conventional political parties

• The re-enchantment of modern society

• The political power of religious organizations and movements and the 
assertion of morality as the foundation of politics.

• The crisis of traditional journalism

• The rise of new social movements as political formations; and

• The uses of social media and networks to create or strengthen echo 
chambers

In terms of geopolitical areas, one might consider:

• The case of the political campaign and the triumph of 'NO' in the 2016 
Colombian plebiscite on a peace agreement with the FARC.

• The political campaign and triumph the 'YES' in the British referendum 
of 2016 on exiting the EU

• Bepe Grillo in Italy

• Geert Wilders in the Netherlands

• The impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in Brazil.

• Political and media management of Chavismo in Venezuela.

• The political campaign and triumph of Donald Trump in the United States.

The invited Editor for the issue is Toby Miller, Research Professor in 
the Graduate School at the University of California, Riverside, and 
international professor in the Department of Comunicación Social at the 
Universidad del Norte.
