Infodemic Disorder
This contributed volume identifies how the information processes of public institutions and citizens have changed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, within a new context that emerged: the infodemic disorder. Public debate is largely characterized today by a crisis of the legitimacy of institutions, accompanied by a crisis of authority in public communication, leading to the emergency of a state of information disorder due specifically to the need to find information related to the coping of the pandemic. This condition is characterized by growing attention to issues related to 'fake news', 'misinformation', and 'media manipulation', that are intertwined in digital platform ecosystems, and the...
La Maison Blanche vue du Québec
La couverture des élections américaines par les médias québécois Alors que la campagne électorale américaine de 2020 bat son plein et que toutes les antennes médiatiques du Québec sont tournées vers celle-ci, Karine Prémont et Marie-Eve Carignan se demandent si nous n’en faisons pas trop. Un questionnement qui les accompagne depuis 2016, à l’aube de l’élection de Trump, dont le règne aura constitué un point de bascule dans notre façon de couvrir et de percevoir la politique américaine. Mais cet engouement pour les élections et la politique américaines est-il réellement nouveau, s’interrogent-elles ? Outre ceux de la sphère journalistique, en quoi reflète-t-il vr...

Covid Conspiracy Theories in Global Perspective
Covid Conspiracy Theories in Global Perspective examines how conspiracy theories and related forms of misinformation and disinformation about the Covid-19 pandemic have circulated widely around the world. Covid conspiracy theories have attracted considerable attention from researchers, journalists, and politicians, not least because conspiracy beliefs have the potential to negatively affect adherence to public health measures. While most of this focus has been on the United States and Western Europe, this collection provides a unique global perspective on the emergence and development of conspiracy theories through a series of case studies. The chapters have been commissioned by recognized e...
Remedies against the Pandemic
The present volume offers a fresh perspective on political top-down crisis communication across several countries during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes how leaders address the growing awareness of the dangerous impact of social restrictions, along with the controversies surrounding the first vaccination campaigns. Not limited to the Western world, it also offers insights from six East European countries, Uganda, India, and Palestine. Topics discussed range from inconsistent communication patterns to populist xenophobic accents, propagandistic campaigns on vaccines, the impact of authoritarian systems on crisis communication, the contrast between scientific and African folk medicine, and the use of war metaphors. By adopting a comparative perspective, this volume contributes to the growing body of literature on crisis communication during the pandemic, while highlighting important issues and perspectives that have yet to be extensively explored. Moreover, it aims to bridge the gap between linguistic and communication research on leadership communication during times of crisis, stimulating an interdisciplinary dialogue.
Communicating Risk and Safety
The world is wrought with risks that may harm people and cost lives. The news is riddled with reports of natural disasters (wildfires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes), industrial disasters (chemical spills, water and air pollution), and health pandemics (e.g., SARS, H1NI, COVID19). Effective risk communication is critical to mitigating harms. The body of research in this handbook reveals the challenges of communicating such messages, affirms the need for dialogue, embraces the role of instruction in proactively communicating risk, acknowledges the function of competing risk messages, investigates the growing influence of new media, and constantly reconsiders the ethical imperative for communicating recommendations for enhanced safety.
Conspiracy Theory Discourses
Conspiracy Theory Discourses addresses a crucial phenomenon in the current political and communicative context: conspiracy theories. The social impact of conspiracy theories is wide-ranging and their influence on the political life of many nations is increasing. Conspiracy Theory Discourses bridges an important gap by bringing discourse-based insights to existing knowledge about conspiracy theories, which has so far developed in research areas other than Linguistics and Discourse Studies. The chapters in this volume call attention to conspiracist discourses as deeply ingrained ways to interpret reality and construct social identities. They are based on multiple, partly overlapping analytical frameworks, including Critical Discourse Analysis, rhetoric, metaphor studies, multimodality, and corpus-based, quali-quantitative approaches. These approaches are an entry point to further explore the environments which enable the proliferation of conspiracy theories, and the paramount role of discourse in furthering conspiracist interpretations of reality.
Mon frère est complotiste
"Que sait-on du complotisme? Comment rétablir le lien avec mon frère ou ma sœur à qui je ne peux plus parler? Marginal il y a quelques années, le conspirationnisme s'est immiscé dans nos vies durant la pandémie de COVID-19. Présents dans les médias, sur les réseaux socionumériques et dans les manifestations, les complotistes se sont également fait entendre dans les familles, les cercles d'amis et les milieux de travail, au point de devenir un enjeu de premier plan. Pour bien cerner ce phénomène complexe aux ramifications psychologiques, sociales, historiques, politiques, médiatiques et idéologiques, Marie-Eve Carignan et David Morin se sont entourés de plusieurs spécialistes, faisant la démonstration que la meilleure façon de déboulonner les préjugés - de part et d'autre - passe par la compréhension. Ils nous éclairent, avec des pistes d'action à la clé, sur l'importance de maintenir le lien et le dialogue, aussi bien dans les familles que dans la société. Car comprendre et déjouer le complotisme est l'affaire de tous: la paix et l'avenir de nos démocraties en dépendent."--leslibraires.ca.
