[Commlist] CfP Scandalogy 4

CfP for the 4^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN SCANDALOGY: Political 
Scandals in the Age of Populism, Partisanship and Polarization 
(September 29^th -October 1^st 2022) at University of Bamberg, Germany)

University of Bamberg | Department of Communication Studies | Bamberg, 
Germany & University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tyrol, Austria

Politics appears to have entered a mode of perpetual crisis and growing 
dysfunctionality. The rapid succession of scandals may be a symptom of 
this crisis, while being its catalyst at the same time. With respect to 
this very broad diagnosis, the conference aims to better define a 
political scandal and discuss how such scandals are relevant for a 
polity and public discourse.

The conference theme acknowledges the growing presence of populism, 
partisanship, and polarization and the need to analyze what this means 
for scandalization processes. Thus, the aim of this conference is to 
better understand possible impacts of these phenomena on public 
discourse and media practices from an interdisciplinary and critical 
scientific perspective.

The organizers call for proposals in all subfields of communication 
studies, political communication research as well as related disciplines 
and invite conceptual, empirical, and methodological proposals 
reflecting on political scandals and the role which media and/or 
communication plays therein. The conference encourages submissions of 
both empirically and theoretically focused work from advanced scholars 
as well as graduate students or doctoral candidates.

Submission deadline (short abstracts): May 15^th 2022

Conference date: September 29^th -October 1^st 2022 at University of 
Bamberg, Germany
