Democracy and Communication: The Aesthetical Effects of PoliticsKeywords: aesthetical effect of politics , communication and democracy , mass media and political debate , infotainment , modern media-democratic processes , Δημοκρατ α , Επικοινων α , Αισθητικοπο ηση του Πολιτικο Abstract: The growing aesthetical effect of politics is approached through a critical sociological view which renders extremely problematic the relations between communication and democracy, mass media and political debate. The conclusion, however, reflectively focuses more on the complexity of the modern media-democratic processes than the unconsidered pessimism, the facile categorical discourse and the widely known simplified anathemas.
