In the arena of dispute over meanings, politicians, media organizations,
social movements, religious institutions and other actors dialogue and
compete in order to impose their own definitions of public problems.
Public meanings that are successfully brought forth depend on the
discursive strategies that are used and the existing strength of a
specific community. Studies on Framing have been consolidated over the
last decades in the field of communication and in debates on political
analysis, establishing a multiparadigm research program (D’Angelo,
2012). In the last five years, around 1,000 theoretical and empirical
works on this subject have been published in Latin America. Indeed, the
political, institutional and social events that have recently taken
place in the region illustrate the need to address the production and
circulation of public meanings on a broader scale. Media framing, frames
of political discourse, or marks of meaning are pertinent instruments
for classifying the characteristics of government communication, the
polarized narratives of electoral campaigns, media coverage of gender
inequalities, the collective action of social movements, and the framing
in digital social networks, including its ability to bypass traditional
avenues of information. In short, it is an analytical approach which
provides the necessary tools to reflect on the different stages of the
communication process: from the framing used by broadcasters to the
forms of interpretation on the part of the audience, and those involved
in the political culture where discourses are produced and circulated.
Based on research carried out in the region, this call for papers seeks
to expand on and further develop the theoretical and empirical
contributions of framing in political communication.
Based on interpretive sociology and cognitive psychology, framing is a
particularly media-centered perspective; it highlights the importance of
mass communication within a broader social process of defining reality.
Frames are packages of discursive resources which different political,
corporate or media actors use to offer an alternative definition of
issues of public interest (Schuck et al., 2013); they are a type of
translation of information, through the use of frameworks, that serve to
suggest a particular perspective of reality (D'Angelo, 2002; de Vreese,
2003; Entman, 1993; Matthes, 2012). Framing guides the way events are
presented through informative messages, either emphasizing or excluding
possible aspects of current reality (de Vreese, 2005; Muñiz, 2015). In
short, framing is conceived as a paradigm capable of informing and
enriching both behavioral and critical, and quantitative and qualitative
approaches; indeed, framing is an exercise in power as it affects our
understanding of the political world (Reese, 2007).
Based on this line of reasoning, this call for papers invites
researchers to submit articles on the different frameworks in
communication processes that advocate approaches from Latin America to
help further develop this theory or field of study. All authors are
encouraged to reflect on the idiosyncrasies that emerge from “Latin”
objects or from the national and regional dynamics of the subcontinent,
observing how this area participates in the process of interpreting
data/results. This call for papers is also interested in articles that
review the modernity of this object in the region or that map – or even
propose – possible Latin American dimensions of the theory of framing.
The following topics of contribution are suggested:
• Studies on comprehensive communication perspectives
• How political framing is constructed
• Analysis of the informative treatment of political processes
• Framing in electoral campaigns
• Methodological proposals for the study of political framing
• The effects of framing on public opinion
• Media framing production processes in digital environments
• Activation and circulation of frames in digital environments
• The framing of political actors in disputes over meaning
• The framing of collective actions and social movements
