CfP: Disinformation and Treatment of Democratic Memory in Social Networks

Post-truth, misinformation, hoaxes, fake news. These are concepts that 
have reached the communication landscape to stay, accompanied over time 
by the rise of parties linked to the extreme right, experienced 
universally. The media agenda of these new political options protected 
in democratic societies is limited to a few but very controversial 
issues, which seek to achieve an objective of emotional mobilization of 
the electorate. Among them, the democratic memory stands out, referring 
in Spain to the institutional crimes committed during the Franco 
dictatorship. But beyond Spain, in many other countries with a past of 
totalitarian regimes, memory is also acquiring a leading role in the 
media arena, centralized in dissemination through social networks.
This monograph aims to promote critical reflection and debate on the use 
of memory as a subject included in the agenda of these far-right 
parties. Some of the research questions that we raise in this Call for 
Papers are:
-Treatment and dissemination of information on personalities and 
historical processes.
-Treatment and dissemination of information on the recovery of memory 
activities such as the opening of graves of shot.
-Treatment and dissemination of information on the measures aimed at 
obtaining moral reparation for the various past crimes of totalitarian 
regimes.
-Comparative or transnational studies on memory treatment.
This issue seeks to address the matter from different communicative 
perspectives, so political, philosophical, cultural and from historical 
experiences in different latitudes, with the aim of discussing and 
reflecting on communication and politics, especially from the 
construction of a historical memory, its value facing uncertainty, 
building trust and understanding the future.
