Aims of the conference

Moving from adolescence to adulthood, the postsocialist world is
undergoing multi-directional transformations that would have seemed
unbelievable twenty years ago. Bustling economic development combines
with corruption, violence, and cynicism, which reign over the
postsocialist space. Three causal schemes compete to explain this
large-scale process. One derives the postsocialist present from the
legacies of the Soviet past. Another ascribes responsibility to the
global crisis of the traditional West. A third episteme draws on

Workshop of the ECREA TWG Mediatization

The mediatization of politics was the very beginning of mediatization research: In the 1990s and the years following, mediatization was mainly discussed as the adaptation of ‘media rules’ or ‘journalistic logics’ to the field of politics. Following this, most of the early theorising of mediatization was related to this kind of research. However, since then the field of mediatization research has opened widely. This makes it possible to rethink the mediatization of politics in a wider frame than previously possible.
