[ecrea] International Conference in Scandalogy

Tue Mar 08 07:36:54 GMT 2016




Invitation for the 1^st  International Conference in Scandalogy
University of Bamberg
Department of Communication Studies and Department of German Studies
Bamberg, Germany
7-8 April 2016
Various academic disciplines have started to intensify research on
scandals as social phenomena. Especially communication and media studies
and political science place emphasis on researching scandals, as a
number of thematically relevant publications and conferences within
these disciplines illustrate (e.g. ECREA conference on “The mediation of
scandal and moral outrage”).
‘The scandal’ as a social phenomenon can be approached from several
academic perspectives. Arguably, ‘the science of scandals’ qualifies as
a distinct interdisciplinary research field.
The aim of this conference is to foster exchange between “scandalogists”
from different academic disciplines in order to gather and present
recent findings from a wide range of theoretical approaches.
For the 1st International Conference in Scandalogy we are pleased to
welcome scholars from Austria, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Algeria, USA,
Russia, and Germany to Bamberg.

Confirmed keynote speakers:
Prof. Dr. Robert M. Entman (School of Media and Public Affairs / George
Washington University)
Prof. Dr. Steffen Burkhardt (Hamburg University of Applied Sciences)
Prof. Dr. Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf (WWU Münster)
