CfP: Media and Participation

The conference Media and Participation 2012 takes place in Lund, Sweden, 29 March 2012. Deadline for abstracts is 9 December 2011.

“The conference will be organised thematically, focusing on political, social, cultural and historical approaches to media and participation. The research questions include what is the role of social, political and cultural participation in people’s experiences of the media? What is the relationship between the political and non-political in cases of media participation? How can different approaches and methods open up our understanding of media and participation? The aim is provide a platform for international scholars and junior scholars from disciplines such as media, communication and cultural studies, film studies, sociology and political communication, to debate the complexity and ambiguity at work in public participation in mediated spaces and places.”
