Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 438577023
The project examines paradoxes of contemporary municipal communication with a particular interest in the role of mayors as popular public officials who appear as mediators of bureaucratic knowledge in conflict-laden contexts of increased citizen participation. The focus is on the knowledge-political dimension of expert-lay communication, the interaction-organizational di-mension of political deliberation and the semiological dimension of the repertoire of innovative (media) practices.
