The research developed by the group, which is linked to PUC-Rio, seeks to reflect on the effects of mediatized communication in the world of politics. In this sense, it includes studies on representations of politics and the meanings politics gains in media space, as well as analyses of the meanings of concepts such as democracy, federalism, nationalism, patriotism, and others across multiple media narratives. In particular, it addresses the transformative potential of political communication via the internet, analyzing and proposing digital initiatives around topics such as political representation, transparency, accountability, education (literacy), information, inclusion, deliberation, mobilization, participation, government, and governance.
