Abstract

Political communication through electronic media is an optics-like, near-instantaneous method of producing information aberrations, which has an impact on the political process. In contrast to oral and written communication, which tends to a diffused distribution (slow, disordered process of dispersion of meanings), the method of optical transmission information leads to the fact that the actors perceive all the waves of information (and many meanings) simultaneously. In today's complex society, information influence ceases to be a controlled process and the production and the share of the political power of symbolic capital falls directly dependent on the quality of manufactured information product. It necessitates the study of political communication, with the production of aberrations in the communication chain taken into account. In the context of this article the factors of risk communication in the political sphere, causing decoherence process flow of political communication, and its effects are marked. The author indicates the process at which the risk of communication leading to the establishment of an information anomie and introduces definition of information anomie, which allows describing the specific characteristics of the process of producing information aberrations in political communication.
Keywords:
