CALL FOR PAPERS: Media, Civic Participation, Social Movements, Democracy 
and Populism

Different communication patterns (online and offline) influence 
individuals to have specific behaviours concerning civic participation 
and adherence to social movements of different ideological frameworks 
and scopes.

As publics have the chance to channel their ideas through Internet 
behaviours, literature often identifies Internet as a public space that 
promotes collective action, and acknowledges that technology is shaping

and Populism. Unpublished works that present research results and/or 
theoretical reflection on this theme are accepted covering, among
