interested researchers to submit proposals for texts to be presented at
the International Conference Pathologies and Dysfunctions of Democracy
in Media Context, which will be held on 26 and 27 October in University
of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal/
/./
/The purpose of this conference is to join together researchers from
Communication Sciences and related areas (Political Science, Political
Theory, Political Philosophy, Political Sociology and others), with
particular emphasis on those interested in political communication
around a unifying common axis: the pathologies and dysfunctions of
democracy, in media contexts, in different aspects of their involvement
with the media such as: the media representation of these pathologies
and dysfunctions; the contribution or, on the other hand, the damage of
the media to the functioning of democratic institutions; the
interference of political agents in journalistic information; the
relationship between media and political institutions in the processes
of public opinion building, etc./
//
/The international conferences will be focused on three issues that will
be addressed in three plenary sessions and in three sets of parallel
sessions:/
//
/- Communication and silences: concealment, alternative facts and “fake
news” - assessing phenomena of visibility/invisibility, silencing and
concealment in deliberation and political decision processes./
//
/- The challenges of political participation in the "post-truth" era -
how political participation and deliberation takes place in the face of
the proliferation of strategically manipulated information./
//
/- Pathologies and dysfunctions of democracy: scandal, corruption and
negative campaign - To analyze the impact of phenomena generally
designated as pathological, dysfunctional and deviant in the democratic
process, as well as their media representation./
//
//
/Emphasis is placed on empirical and theoretical works involving
relatively recent political debates, such as the creation of the "left
majority" (or "geringonça") in Portugal; the Brexit; the Brazilian
impeachment; the American elections, the formation of the Trump
administration; the multiple judicial processes and economic and
political scandals and its media coverage./
/Empirical and case-study and case-based approaches as well as,
theoretical approaches complemented by examples will be welcome. In
terms of the applicable paradigms, deliberative, critical,
participatory, functionalist approaches and the approaches influenced by
agenda-setting theory, framing theory or the spiral of silence effect,
among other possible theoretical frameworks could be accepted. /
/Papers can be focused on communicative processes occurred in the online
or in the offline environment./
/./
/The conference will select 45 papers that will be presented in three
sets of parallel sessions. The texts will be published in two proceeding
books./
