The purpose of the conference is to examine the transformations brought about in the last years by the social, economic, political and media changes.
After a general inquiry into the concept of “public sphere,” our aim is to examine the role of media in two particular contexts: the process of democratization and the challenges of the construction of a European public sphere. We propose an interdisciplinary approach, situated at the crossroad of political sciences, communication studies, sociology, psychology etc. We also welcome cross-cultural perspectives and multinational perspectives.
