[Commlist] CfP for 4th International Conference in Scandalogy: Political Scandals in the Age of Populism, Partisanship, and Polarization

Wed May 04 08:45:12 GMT 2022






Dear colleagues, you are cordially invited to take part in our call for papers for the

4th International Conference in Scandalogy:

Political Scandals in the Age of Populism, Partisanship, and Polarization

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.

The 4th International Conference in Scandalogy takes place from September 29th - October 1st 2022 at University of Bamberg, Germany.

Deadline for submissions (short abstracts, max. of 400 words): May 15th 2022.

The complete CfP and further information on the event can be found on the official conference website:
