[ecrea] Invitation Örecomm festival "Agency in the Mediatized World" 9-13 September 2011

Fri May 13 08:02:28 GMT 2011




AGENCY IN THE MEDIATIZED WORLD is the overarching theme for the first Ørecomm festival, 9 – 13 September 2011, a five-day event taking place on both sides of the Öresund strait. The event is organized by the transnational research centre, Ørecomm, which works to strengthen research in the interdisciplinary field of media, communication and social change.
Do take a look at our website: http://orecomm.net <http://orecomm.net/>

The festival will start in Malmö with an open three-day seminar (9-11 September) in conjunction with the international master programme in Communication for Development, stopping over in Copenhagen for a professional practitioner hearing on social media in development cooperation (12 September), and ending in Roskilde with an academic conference by the Glocal NOMAD (Network on Media and Development) on 13 September.

The aim of the festival is to make researchers, students and practitioners meet and share experiences, and critically examine the field of media, communication and development in the light of mediatization, with special regard to the conditions for agency.

The speakers at the festival will include Jan Nederveen Pieterse, Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Karin Wilkins among many others, and there will be representatives from the major regional players in the field, DANIDA, IMS, SIDA, SPIDER and UNDP.

Information on the full programme and registration procedures will be up shortly on orecomm.net/festival-2011/ <http://orecomm.net/festival-2011/>. Please spred this invitation in your networks.
