[ecrea] CALL FOR PAPERS "Doing global media studies: Comparative methods of transcultural and transnational research"

Thu Nov 26 22:18:21 GMT 2009



DOING GLOBAL MEDIA STUDIES:
COMPARATIVE METHODS OF TRANSCULTURAL AND TRANSNATIONAL RESEARCH

Pre-conference to the ECREA 2010 ­ 3rd European Communication Conference
Bremen, Germany, 11-12 October 2010, Haus der Wissenschaft

Held by: NIIK, Network Intercultural and International Communication
Organization: Michael Brüggemann, Andreas Hepp, Katharina Kleinen-von Königslöw

'Global media studies' are an approach of media research which reflects the increasing phenomenon of transcultural and transnational communication: If we consider news or entertainment formats, the internet or mobile communication, mainstream or minority media ­ public and private communication increasingly transcends national and cultural borders. But how can we respond to this methodologically? Which innovative methods are necessary for media and communication research in a globalized media world? What kinds of empirical research are required for "doing" global media studies?

This conference tackles the methodological challenges facing comparative media research in a global age, reflecting critically the present status of transcultural and transnational communication. We would like to invite presentations dealing with the methodological consequences of research going beyond 'national containers'. Proposals may address challenges with regard to the overall research design, methodological innovations, or deal more specifically with methodological issues concerning the selection of cases as well as the gathering and analysis of data. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methodological approaches are all very welcome.

The pre-conference will feature the presentations of peer­reviewed submitted papers as well as distinguished key­note speakers in the field of global media studies. It will also comprise workshop elements for a hands­on discussion of the practical issues that arise from research projects which go beyond cultural borders.


Deadline: All abstracts should be submitted through the ECREA 2010 website no later than: - 28 February 2010. Please note that this submission deadline will not be extended!
- Online submission system opens 1 December 2009.
To avoid technical problems, early submission is strongly encouraged.
