Workshop: Talking About Politics: Editorial Practices Between Current Affairs and Popularization

The workshop undertakes an analysis of the forms of political communication from the genesis of modern "public opinion" to the present day. The transformations of political communication are presented and discussed from a historical and theoretical perspective, privileging in both cases the aspect relating to the practical exercise of writing and media production in the scientific and journalistic-generalist spheres.

The programme is designed to equip students with the critical and operational tools necessary to understand and contribute to the processes of elaboration and dissemination of political discourse in the public sphere. The initial segment of the workshop is devoted to a theoretical reconnaissance, while the subsequent segment provides an opportunity for students to engage with editorial practices that are pertinent to political communication from a professional standpoint.
