[ecrea] DNS5 Summer School “Political Discourse and Mediatization of Politics in the Globalized World”

DNS5 Summer School “Political Discourse and Mediatization of Politics in 
the Globalized World”

16-19 August 2019

Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

The aim of DNS5 Summer School is to discuss theoretical frameworks, 
methodologies and methods of political discourse analysis in the context 
of diverse information channels in the global digital space.

Politics in the contemporary globalized world is inconceivable without 
media which shape and frame communicative practices, the process being 
commonly referred to as /mediatization/.Digital media abundance poses 
new challenges which are theorized in various interdisciplinary strands 
of research which attempt to understand recent political changes through 
analyzing effects of targeting, algorithmization, information bubbles, 
etc. Whereas optimists welcome new media opportunities for political 
thought and practice, sceptical voices raise issues of political 
manipulation and discuss possible consequences ofethical and 
epistemological relativism flourishing within the digital environment. 
There is a lack of common theoretical ground uniting socio-political, 
technological, and discursive perspectives. For this reason, a space for 
discussing and exploring the methodological crossroads of these 
disciplinary domains is needed.

DNS5 Summer School is aimed to become such a space.  Scholars of 
different disciplinary backgrounds and research experience are invited 
to address issues of contemporary political discourse, media, and 
communication studies. We expect that participants of DNS5 Summer School 
will get new insights and directions for their research.
