Dear all,
I wish to draw your attention to the CfP "Developing Research on Media,
Cities and (Digital) Space". Please, find all the details below and in
attachment.
*Developing Research on Media, Cities and (Digital) Space*
October 14, 2022 - Online on Zoom and on-site in Rome
*Deadline: July 31 2022*
The ever-increasing mediation of social life and the evolving
relationship of virtual and physical spaces unfold a multi-faceted field
of interdisciplinary research. Especially the last few years with their
unexpected challenges, most notably the Covid-19 pandemic, have
propelled digitalisation processes forward, profoundly impacting the
relationship between people’s lives and the physical and virtual spaces
surrounding them.
This hybrid pre-conference workshop is a collaboration between the ECREA
Media,
Cities and Space Section, the YECREA young scholars network and the
Department of Communication and Social Research of Sapienza University of
Rome with the PhD Course in Communication, Social Research and Marketing.
We invite researchers, particularly early-career, doctoral or postdoctoral
scholars, to present and discuss their work related to the interaction
between media and communications with cities and other spatial contexts.
The pre-conference is planned in a workshop format, promoting conversation
and collaboration. Participants will get the chance to
discuss their projects with their peers and get feedback regarding
epistemological, methodological, theoretical, or conceptual issues. The
focus lies on how to develop and further research linked to the inherently
interdisciplinary field(s) of media, cities and (digital/physical) space.
We welcome work-in-progress contributions as well as finished works, with
an empirical, theoretical, or methodological focus, from a broad spectrum
of disciplines such as communication and media studies, sociology, human
geography, urban studies, or science and technology studies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Digital platforms as disruptive actors, transforming urban
communication, economies, and cultures
* The ramifications of the Covid-19 pandemic regarding the
spatial dimensions of private and professional lives
* Algorithms as pervasive agents structuring new forms of inhabiting
material space
* Media history and mediated public art in (and about) the city
* Urban spaces as fields of mediated activism, protest, and other forms
of social practice
To enable early-career scholars to participate, this will be a hybrid
offline/online event on Zoom and in Rome at Sapienza University.
Participants are asked to indicate how they want to participate. Please
submit a short abstract of ca. 300 words as a PDF to
stefania.parisi@uniroma1.it and lou.brandner@uni-tuebingen.de until July 31
2022. Decisions will be communicated to the authors by September 1.
Abstracts by early-career scholars, particularly PhD students, are
encouraged.
Best wishes,
Mariacristina
