[ecrea] CALL FOR PAPERS: MEDIA PRODUCTION

Fri Nov 06 13:52:11 GMT 2009



CALL FOR PAPERS: MEDIA PRODUCTION

The Working Group for Media Production Analyses of the International
Association for Media and Communication Research invites submissions for the
IAMCR Congress in Braga, Portugal (July 18-22, 2008).

This Working Group provides a venue for researchers of media production. The
working group focuses on different professional norms, technologies,
organizational contexts and genres to grasp the internal and external
dynamics of media production processes.

Papers addressing the theme of the 2010 conference is 'Communication and
Citizenship: Rethinking Crisis and Change' are most welcome.

We also invite empirical studies of media production whether they are
qualitative or quantitative in nature, and whether they analyse mass media,
social media or personal media.

The group are open to all theoretical inspirations not only media science
but also sociology, anthropology, management studies, etc. We also welcome
work on methodological aspects of media production: production ethnography
in general, problems and strategies of access or publication, and the
theoretical grounding of methods.

It is an explicit aim to include and encourage studies of media convergence:
the 'new media'. These media and the production processes related to them
represent an explicit challenge for the field of production studies, but
other challenges emerge from new types of media economy, forces of
convergence and globalization, decreasing publicly funded media, and
conglomerate economics.

The Working Group invites abstract submissions for the 2010 conference, and
these may be submitted via the IAMCR website, at the Working Group for Media
Production Analysis page.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts (500 words) is 31 January 2010.
You will be informed whether or not your abstract is accepted by 15 March
2010. The deadline for submitting of full papers via the conference website
is 30 April 2010.

Conference information is available at iamcr.org.

Chris Paterson, Leeds & Ida Willig, Roskilde
