[ecrea] CFP - Special Issues Journal Comunicazione Politica: "Love and hate in politics. The emotionalization of political communication"

*** LOVE AND HATE IN POLITICS. THE EMOTIONALIZATION OF POLITICAL 
COMMUNICATION ***

Call for articles. Special issue Comunicazione Politica (ComPol) Journal 
of the Italian Association of Political Communication (vol. 1, 2018).


Political communication has always exploited emotional levers to 
mobilise support. Now, however, this emotional component has become much 
more intense. As a key corollary, the public debate has transitioned 
from a fact-based to a post-factual, post-truth phenomenon. After 
decades in the rationalistic mainstream, scientific studies, too, have 
recognised the pivotal importance acquired by emotional tones in 
political actors’ communications.
This special issue invites submissions from a broad range of disciplines 
with interdisciplinary approaches, in particular: media and cultural 
studies, sociology of communication, sociology of emotions; political 
science; history of political communication and election campaigns; 
political psychology; linguistics and rhetoric; visual and textual 
semiotics. Proposals that seek to build links between the social 
sciences and neurosciences or the cognitive sciences are especially 
welcome. Indeed, this meeting of disciplines has already yielded some of 
the most advanced discoveries for contemporary political communication, 
especially in election campaigns.

Deadline for abstracts (max.1000 words) 5 May 2017.

Proposal must be sent to: (cristopher.cepernich /at/ unito.it); 
(edoardo.novelli /at/ uniroma3.it); (compol.rivista /at/ gmail.com).
