CFP: Tu Felix Austria? Political Scandals and Affairs in Austria

Political scandals and affairs seem to have established themselves as a 
constant in Austria's political landscape in recent decades. The 
country's unique socio-political structure, in which close relationships 
are cultivated between politics, business, and culture, and the 
political proportional representation that has existed for many decades 
in government-related areas provide a favorable environment for the 
emergence of political scandals and affairs. In addition, the 
scandalization of people and events is used as a means of staging, 
particularly by high-reach tabloid media in Austria.

This issue of medien & zeit aims to reflect on and analyze the 
phenomenon of political scandal in Austria's recent past to 
systematically expand this fragmentary field of research. The topic of 
this issue will be differentiated based on the following areas and 
questions:

* Processes and characteristics

* Triggers and catalysts

* Actors and relationships

* Reception and social impact

Submissions are welcome in English or German. Submitted abstracts (no 
more than 500 words and a meaningful title) outlining a prospective 
contribution will be reviewed by the issue's editors. On this basis, 
authors will be invited to submit full papers (max. 7,000 words, 
including title,

abstract, keywords, tables, figures, and bibliography).

The deadline for submissions is 31 March 2025. The full paper needs to 
be submitted by 31. August 2025. Please submit your proposals here: 
(cfp /at/ medienundzeit.at) <mailto:(cfp /at/ medienundzeit.at)>

All complete contributions will be subjected to a double-blind peer 
review. In a possible revision phase after the peer review, authors can 
extend the length of the article to a maximum of 8,000 words, taking 
into account the suggestions of the reviewers and editors.

medien & zeit is entirely free (open access), and no payment from the 
authors will be required.
