The Communication Studies Laboratory (LADECOM in Spanish), in collaboration with the Structures, History and Communication Contents Investigation Group (GREHCCO in Spanish) and the Journalism II Department of the University of Seville organizes the first ever ’Infoxication’Congress: Information Market and Psyche. The concept ‘Infoxication’ (that combines the words ‘information’ and ‘intoxication’) refers to the difficulties to analyze and understand the huge volume of information, data and stimulus provided by the current mass media. We consider necessary researching from a journalistic and psychosocial point of view about the reasons of this phenomenon, its implications and commercial and ideological interests, its gravity and the consequences that brings to the entire human race. We seek the participation from any researcher interested in areas such as Journalism, Pedagogy, Law, Anthropology, Sociology, Audiovisual Communication, Publicizing, and Public Relations as well as analog disciplines. Talks can be presented in Spanish, English or Portuguese.
