In the present age, people's lives and
experiences take place in 'mediatized worlds':
Our work is increasingly work on and with
computers, what we know about politics is
mediated and, hence, staged by technical media,
we spend our spare time watching television and
playing computer games, but also these days
education and religion cannot be thought of beyond technical media.
The aim of the international conference is to
discuss this ongoing mediatization of present
social and cultural fields. Papers - both
theoretically oriented and/or empirically
grounded - are invited on the theme of mediatization.
Keynote speakers:
? Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths College University of London, UK
? Stig Hjarvard, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
? Hubert Knoblauch, TU Berlin, Germany
? Lynn Spigel, Northwestern University, USA
? John B. Thompson, University of Cambridge, UK (invited)
