  [NEW DEADLINE] Comunicação e Sociedade: Call for papers | Crime,
  Justice and Media

*Editors*: Rafaela Granja (CECS, University of Minho, Portugal), Sílvia Gomes (Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom) and Thais Sardá (Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom)

Issues associated with crime and justice are constantly at the centre of public debate. Police violence, criminal investigations, high-profile trials and even life inside prisons are a common focus of media attention. Both media and fictional representations of crime and justice make oppositions between collective security and human rights more visible. They also reify discourses that rely on notions of “us” and “others”. However, there is a lack of debate about the profound social inequalities (racial, gender, among others) that promote such social cleavages. These tensions are explored by social movements and activists, particularly on social media, exposing various forms of violence and crime (e.g., hate crimes, racial violence, etc.). However, people deprived of freedom are restricted from acting as agents in civic mobilization due to barriers in accessing information. In this thematic issue of /Comunicação e Sociedade/, we invite social sciences researchers to reflect on the various forms of interconnection and disconnection between crime, justice and media, focusing on one or more of the following topics:

– perceptions about crime and justice;

– media coverage of crime and high-profile criminal cases;

– police or judicial journalism;

– media trials;

– fictional portraits of crime and justice;

– revisiting the concept of moral panic;

– police violence, racism and exclusions;

– hate crime and hate speech;

– social movements and media coverage of justice;

– techno-optimism in fighting crime;

– representations of prisons and other contexts of deprivation of liberty;

– info-exclusion of people deprived of liberty.

  /Comunicação e Sociedade/: call for papers on “Design and
  Communication: Digital Challenges and Dilemmas”

Between September 5 and November 13, is open the call for papers for /Comunicação e Sociedade/ journal on “Design and Communication: Digital Challenges and Dilemmas”. The issue is edited by Daniel Brandão (CECS, University of Minho, Portugal), Nuno Martins (ID+, Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e do Ave, Portugal) and Rachel Cooper (PETRAS, Lancaster University, United Kingdom).

The growing presence of digital technologies in citizens’ daily lives has resulted in a constant enhancement of the unexpected. Spontaneity and reactivity assume an increasingly prominent role in the communication universe, inevitably influencing social dynamics.

Faced with a highly mediated and mediatised world, communication has attained significant power. A dispersed power shared between different protagonists. A power that is not always identifiable and often tends to be more associated with rumour and crisis than with information and clarification. This power of communication, more and more horizontal, challenges established power bases.

What role can design play in this mediation of interpersonal and global communication?

In its most varied perspectives and disciplines, design can be an important contribution to the construction of more informed, enlightened and, consequently, fairer societies. Whether in a supervisory capacity, deconstructing and decoding graphic, photographic, animated representations and all kinds of narratives of high cosmetic-manipulative content; or in the proposal of models, prototypes or the most varied type of solutions that seek to contribute to an active citizenship and respond to the challenges and dilemmas of digital and contemporary societies. In fact, design is much more than a tool of mere aesthetic operation. It also has a relevant role in the organisation of information, in the construction of narratives and, consequently, in the suggestion of meanings.

This thematic volume of the journal /Comunicação e Sociedade/ invites national and international academics and researchers from different areas of design, communication and digital technologies to share scientific work developed on emerging topics, such as:

  * sustainable and healthy design
  * inclusive, collaborative and participatory design
  * creativity, arts and design in education
  * identities, citizenship and social cohesion in design
  * design and communication for the mobility and the future of cities
  * challenges of digital interaction and communication
  * information design, data journalism and quality of information
  * responsible design: security, privacy, ethics and trust
  * design, equality and human rights
  * design for health and well-being
  * eating, dressing and breathing design
  * design, media arts and culture
  * expression and impression of audio-visual on digital communication
  * sound design: perception and performance in the real
  * frontiers and challenges of a technocentric design
  * conceptions and misconceptions of the virtual

*KEY DATES*

*Proposals submission (full manuscript):* September 5 to November 13, 2022
