Communication in Post- and Neo-Authoritarian Societies Working Group

CPN logoThe Working Group examines the multifaceted dimensions of communication, media, journalism, and the public sphere in transitional, post-conflict, and conflict-affected societies. “Societies” is understood inclusively, referring both to territorially defined social formations such as nation-states and to collective identities based on ethnicity, religion, culture, or other forms of belonging, including diasporic communities and social movements. The research addresses authoritarian configurations expressed through symbolic and physical violence, geopolitical dynamics, repression, and inequality, as well as movements that challenge these systems. At its core, the Working Group maintains a critical and reflexive engagement with the concept of “authoritarianism” itself – including its relation to totalitarianism, illiberalism, and extremism – and acknowledges that their use and circulation may reproduce global hierarchies of power and knowledge.
