The contents of this course combine plans for theoretical information,conceptual clarification and systematization and questioning of the contemporary trends in the areas to which it is related,around the following plans.
1Conceptual delineation and exploration of the issues that arise from the link between,on one hand,modes of communication and information,and on the other,the understandings of politics and democracy.
2Developing specific themes on the poles of communication and politics and their relationship, giving examples: the times and the trends identified in contemporary political communication; communication, power and politics; media and public awareness;media, democracy and citizenship;politics,emotion and reason;political communication,image and substance;information,spectacle and entertainment;journalism and spin doctoring;network communication and political decision;Internet, mobile communications and citizenship; algorithmic politics and artificial intelligence

Students can choose to be assessed throughout the semester or by final exam.

The assessment of the knowledge acquired is based on an appreciation of participation and intervention in the different sessions (10%), an individual test in class (50%), a group presentation on one of the topics covered in class and the consequent preparation of a written assignment to be handed in at the end of the semester (40%).

The presentation and the assignment should be based on a literature review focused on the chosen topic, an empirical object of analysis to be assessed also through comparison with other similar cases of political communication.

The work can also focus on the design of a political communication campaign with practical applications to electoral, governance or protest contexts, accompanied by a theoretical justification in the form of a descriptive memoir of the options taken.

In the assessment by final exam, the mark obtained in the exam will correspond to 100% of the UC mark.

This course is assessed exclusively by exam (100%).
This exam can be taken in two ways:
a) submission of individual written work
b) individual written test
In option a), individual essay of about 10 pages analysing statistical indicators (100% of the final mark). The topic and supporting statistical information must be agreed in advance with the teacher, during the classes, at a time specified for this purpose. The work should have the following structure: an introduction to the topic, incorporating its relevance and a slight theoretical framework, including some bibliographical references, the presentation of the statistical source(s) and main characteristics; the integration of the data in graphical form (unless the volume of data makes this impossible) and its analysis; a conclusion integrated and discussed with the theoretical support and critique of the statitical sources.

If the student chooses option b), they must inform the teacher in advance.
Students who fail in the first season may submit their work in the second season under the same conditions (100 % of the final mark). Students may also benefit from the Special Season, provided they are covered by the applicable regulation.
