[ecrea] new book: Scandalogy: An Interdisciplinary Field

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: “Scandalogy: An Interdisciplinary Field” (Haller, 
Michael & Kraus, 2018) (Halem Publishing House, 2018)

Scandals are an essential part of the media agenda: corruption affairs, 
doping cases, and environmental pollution are treated as scandals. But 
such scandals are not only meaningful in the context of media routines. 
The whole process of scandalization constitutes social phenomena which 
beg our critical attention from an academic perspective.

The collected volume Scandalogy: An Interdisciplinary Field presents 
contributions from international researchers that deal with scandals 
from a range of academic perspectives. The book combines empirical 
research and theoretical studies on scandals that were presented at the 
1st International Conference in Scandalogy at the University of Bamberg 
in 2016. The book aims at researchers, particularly in political 
science, communication and media studies. The variety of contributions 
range from literary studies to psychology and is therefore suitable for 
all scholars working on scandals and society and warrants proclaiming 
“Scandalogy” its own field of investigation.

Also, this collected volume appeals to the broader public, interested in 
scandalization in a modern media environment. The book offers an 
in-depth expert interview with Frederik Obermaier (Süddeutsche Zeitung), 
one of the leading journalists in the Panama Papers scandal, and an 
interview with Robert Entman (George Washington University) which helps 
to understand scandal culture in the USA in the age of President Trump.
