CALL FOR PAPERS

SPECIAL ISSUE ON COMMUNICATION, POWER AND SOCIAL CHANGE

Manuscript Submissions Due: October 15, 2017

Publication Date: January 1, 2018

This monographic issue seeks to collect contributions that allow observing, explaining, and reflecting about the transformations that political communication is experiencing in the digital environment. These changes are disrupting the scenario, the actors and the balance of power between them. The new digital media, usually considered as messianic technologies, are opening the debate between the public or citizens empowerment, and idea that rises as a new totem in the framework of utopian or dystopian approaches, depending on who articulates them. This presents the redefinition of the power flows and opens a new possibility for the social change and the transformation of the democracy. Digital platforms, such as social media or app, and their communicative potential are generating debates about the new modalities of building the public agenda, about the ability to articulate new discourses or about the power struggles between old and new political actors, media actors, and social actors in this new environment, among other aspects. All these questions require new knowledge to understand this era of transit and its communicative and democratic consequences. For this reason, this monographic issue wants to unite, from diverse theoretical, empirical and methodological approaches, theoretical or empirical contributions, including case studies, which contribute to this aim.

Proposed lines of research:

• Theoretical perspective about democracy and communication in the digital environment: between representation and participation.

• Theoretical perspectives on political communication: between targeted, deliberative, participatory, and hybrid communication, and the paradigm change.

• The social actors involved in the political communication and its discourses: citizens’ empowerment.

• New relations form between political, media, and social actors in the digital political communication environment.

• Changes in the communicative system and in the process of building public opinion: new mechanisms for building the public agenda, the role of the emotional in political communication, etc.

• Transformations introduced by social media in political communication and democracy.

• The networked deliberative system.

• New connective social movements and their communicative strategies.

• Political and electoral mobilization and new media.

• Communication for social change in the digital environment.
