Course Description:
Communication and politics. Two words, or two social phenomena naturally linked to modern societies. Every day, in front of us, the people we define as politicians use the diverse channels of communication, social media, or those alternative mediums, to broadcasts their messages. At the same time, the media becomes involved, either openly or subtly, taking positions, interpretations, or even silencing in a very evident way. The course seeks to explore the above mentioned with a dynamic approach, specifying where it originates, how it maintains and how it develops. Our objective will be to learn to observe and understand how different forms of communications are used to transmit ideologies, information, promises, appearances, rumors, and everything related to the political life.
