      OCTOBER 26 - 27
      UNIVERSITY OF BEIRA INTERIOR (UBI), COVILHÃ

      _EXTENSION OF DEADLINE UP TO MAY 31_


The LabCom.IFP, University of Beira Interior, Portugal decided to extend 
until may 31 the deadline for submission of texts to be presented at the 
International

Conference  "Pathologies and Dysfunctions of Democracy in a Media 
Context". October 27 at the University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal.

The purpose of this conference is to join together researchers from 
Communication Sciences and related areas (Political Science, Political 
Theory, Political Philosophy, Political Sociology and others), with 
particular emphasis on those interested in political communication 
around a unifying common axis: the pathologies and dysfunctions of 
democracy, in media contexts, in different aspects of their involvement 
with the media such as: the media representation of these pathologies 
and dysfunctions; the contribution or, on the other hand, the damage of 
the media to the functioning of democratic institutions; the 
interference of political agents in journalistic information; the 
relationship between media and political institutions in the processes 
of public opinion building, etc.

The international conferences focus on three themes that will be 
addressed in three plenary panels and in three sets of parallel sessions:
- Communication and silences: concealment, alternative facts and “fake 
news” - assessing phenomena of visibility/invisibility, silencing and 
concealment in deliberation and political decision processes.
- The challenges of political participation in the "post-truth" era - 
how political participation and deliberation takes place in the face of 
the proliferation of strategically manipulated information.
- Pathologies and dysfunctions of democracy: scandal, corruption and 
negative campaign - To analyze the impact of phenomena generally 
designated as pathological, dysfunctional and deviant in the democratic 
process, as well as their media representation.

Emphasis is placed on empirical and theoretical works involving 
relatively recent political debates, such as the creation of the "left 
majority" (or "geringonça") in Portugal; the Brexit; the Brazilian 
impeachment; the American elections, the formation of the Trump 
administration; the french elections

,
the multiple judicial processes and economic and political scandals and 
its media coverage.

The conference will select 45 papers that will be presented in three 
sets of parallel sessions. The texts will be published in 2 Books of 
proceedings, being ensured its international publication.

Organizers of the Proceeding Books: Anabela Gradim, António Bento, João
