[ecrea] media and imperialism

CALL FOR PAPERS
IAMHIST XXII
'MEDIA AND IMPERIALISM'
Amsterdam, July 18-21, 2007
Organised by the University of Amsterdam, dept. Media Studies in close
cooperation with the International Association for Media and History and
Utrecht University
Media and Imperialism.
Press, Photography, Film, Radio and Television in the Era of Modern
Imperialism
Aims
We are entering a whole new era where the circulation of images is 
concerned, due to
the large-scale digitisation of archives and collections, which has 
revolutionised
existing practices of preservation, retrieval and distribution. We 
signal therefore an
urgent need to rethink the relationship between media and modern imperialism,
particularly in light of the complex process of globalisation. These 
developments
invoke critical discussions between various disciplines, such as media studies,
ethnology and history.
Focus
The conference will focus on the politics of representation and media 
practices, from
the emergence of mass media and modern imperialism in the 
mid-nineteenth century,
to the successive episodes of decolonisation, as well as on more current issues
surrounding heritage and ownership of media collections.
The conference welcomes papers from disciplines such as history, anthropology,
media studies, history of art, visual culture studies, social and 
political science,
literary and cultural studies. The organisers welcome participation 
from all over the
world.
