The Brazilian outlet PNB Online has published a short article featuring Agon: Constructions of Democracy, an audiovisual essay developed within the European research project MeDeMAP – Mapping Media for Future Democracies. The piece is based on an article originally published by the European Journalism Observatory (EJO) Czech Republic, written by Štěpán Šanda.
The article highlights audiovisual essays as an emerging research format that enables scholars to communicate complex ideas through sound and image, reaching audiences beyond traditional academic publishing. In this context, Agon, created by Nico Carpentier with doctoral researchers Ali Minant and Jhon Sany Purwant, is presented as a key dissemination output of the MeDeMAP project, drawing on themes from the book Democracy and Media in Europe.
By combining academic research with artistic practice, Agon exemplifies MeDeMAP’s commitment to innovative approaches to studying and communicating media and democracy.
