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.
