[Commlist] cfp: Pathologies and dysfunctions of democracy in media context.
Tue May 24 12:48:31 GMT 2022
The 3rd Conference on Pathologies and Dysfunctions of Democracy in the
Media Context will take place on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of November at
the University of Beira Interior on the theme The return of the
propaganda model: emotions, populism, and polarization
The third edition directs its focus to three communicative phenomena:
The return of a simple, fast, functional, and allegedly anti-elitist
style of communication in which the fruition of messages follows a type
of interaction moved by emotion and follows close to group or identity
unanimity - the propaganda model.;
A communicative phenomenon in which the acceptance of messages depends
on the satisfaction and gratification provided to the recipients to the
detriment of their conformity with what is conventionally called truth -
the so-called disinformation.
And a third communicative phenomenon in which the apology of one's own
identity is made using the discursive annihilation of the opponent
through phenomena such as stereotyping, stigmatization, objectivization,
and reification of the Other, distinct, and external from the
“Inner-Group” (Internal Group) - symbolic annihilation
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
In this sense, the organization of the III Conference on Pathologies and
Dysfunctions of Democracy in a Media Context calls for the submission of
abstracts until the last day of June (30) on these three dimensions
mentioned:
The return of propaganda.
The generalization of misinformation
Hate speech or symbolic annihilation.
The articulation between these three phenomena.
The organization calls for the presentation of works that focus on
mapping these phenomena, considering their incidence in the following
areas: politics, gender, cultural identity, including migration and
ethnic minorities. For analytical separation, the following was considered:
- Politics as a topic that focuses on specific and predominantly
political actors such as Governments and Parties, State representative
bodies, national and international forums for political debate.
- Gender, as an issue that predominantly puts at stake the recognition
and rights of minorities that are differentiated by gender and sexual
orientation.
- Cultural identity, a topic that concerns conflictual situations or
others that imply the rights and recognition of culturally
differentiated groups (race, ethnicity, religious minority, linguistic
minorities, refugees, migrants, etc.)
Papers that explicitly include reflections on events in Eastern Europe
(Ukraine) will be accepted, which will be the subject of a specific
plenary session.
27 works will be selected to be presented in nine thematic sessions,
three on each day.
Proponents may select an axis centered on each of the communicative
phenomena presented: a) propaganda b) Misinformation; c) Symbolic
Annihilation (or hate speech). Within the axis they choose, they may
favor associating it with policy issues in the most classic and
strongest sense of the theme, gender or cultural identity issues.
Proponents may submit expanded abstracts with approximately 800 words,
1, 5, space, TNR, Body 12 until June 30th.
The choice of works will be made until September 10.
