[ecrea] ICA Singapore Preconference: Cultural Research and Political Theory

Wed Oct 28 07:59:59 GMT 2009




This is news of a preconference organised by the ICA's Philosophy of Communication division at next year's ICA on 22 June 2010 in Singapore (following Crossroads in Hong Kong, June 17-21)



CULTURAL RESEARCH AND POLITICAL THEORY: NEW INTERSECTIONS



Nick Couldry is organising the event along with Penny O'Donnell, University of Sydney, from ICA's Journalism Studies division. Our co-sponsors are the ICA's Political Communication, Popular Communication, Journalism Studies divisions



The basic aim of the preconference is to bring together researchers and communication practitioners interested in how cultural research can invigorate political theory, and vice versa. Its specific focus is on examining the terms and means of contemporary politics within and beyond the horizon of neoliberalism.



The preconference will be limited to 40 participants, with discussion either in a 'round-table' format or through a mixture of plenary and parallel sessions. Participants are invited who are interested in reflecting on the preconference's themes, whether from the sponsoring divisions or beyond, including participants at the Association for Cultural Studies' 2010 Crossroads conference in Hong Kong for whom this event is intended as a 'post-conference'.



Prospective participants should submit an abstract (300 words maximum, with title) to <mailto:(n.couldry /at/ gold.ac.uk)>(n.couldry /at/ gold.ac.uk) and <mailto:(penny.odonnell /at/ usyd.edu.au)>(penny.odonnell /at/ usyd.edu.au) by the close of 8 November 2009.
