> Media has a historical legacy of promoting 
> continuities as well as changes and breaks. 
> During the turbulent years of revolution in 
> 1989/1990 the media were celebrated as catalysts 
> of social change establishing a space for 
> negotiating the configurations of a new public 
> sphere. In the aftermath of the immediate 
> revolutionary times media were mainly 
> characterised by commercialisation in support of 
> dominant political and economical interests. 
> Visions of media are often still caught in this 
> tension between emancipation and manipulation in today's discourses.
>
> This section seeks to adopt historical 
> perspectives on media in order to understand 
> today's media landscape. The section invites 
> presentations dealing with the broad question of 
> how the relationship between media as 
> institutions, spaces of negotiation, discourse 
> catalysts and the political sphere, the society and everyday life look like.
> Suggestions for panels, individual papers and 
> offers to serve as chair are welcome and should 
> be forwarded to <mailto:%(20anne.kaun /at/ sh.se)>Anne 
> Kaun no later than 1 February 2011.
