IAMCR 2012 - Environment, Science and Risk Communication Working Group Call for Papers

erythrina_caffraThe Environment, Science and Risk Communication Working Group invites submissions of abstracts for papers for the 2012 IAMCR conference to be held from July 15-19, 2012 at the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN) in Durban, South Africa. The deadline for submissions is February 14, 2012.

The conference will be held under the general theme, 'South-North Conversations'. The theme reflects the asymmetry of global communication flows, but without implying the negatives that usually accompany discussions of the 'digital divide'. The theme also calls for balanced and empowering narratives that do not regard those in ‘the South’ as victims primarily in need of handouts from the more affluent. The general conference theme is thus highly relevant to the increasingly global communication themes and concerns that are central to the Environment, Science and Risk Communication Group.

Papers from the full range of environment-science-risk-communication topics and perspectives will be considered, and those relating to the conference theme ‘South-North Conversations’ will be particularly welcome.

Key themes for the Durban sessions of the Working Group will include:

Uneven access to technological, political and social capital in the context of science/environment/risk communication
Visual media constructions of the environment
Asymmetrical news and information flows in environmental communication
Environmental disasters, corporate spin and news management
Media and global environmental change and controversy
Fighting back: empowerment of the local, the regional and sustainable integration into the global
Media and public understanding of science/environment issues
Science and health-related media panics
Science/environmental journalism
Media-communication roles in environmental disasters
Political uses/constructions of nature
Media, advocacy and environmental pressure groups
Environmental activism and new media
Whose story? Narrating/communicating global environmental change.
Processes of (de-)politicization in public and media discourses on technological and environmental risks
Media and democratic debate and citizenship in risk politic

Deadlines

The deadline for submission of abstracts is February 14, 2012. Please note that this deadline will not be extended.

IAMCR 2012 - Public Service Media Policies Working Group Call for Papers

erythrina_caffraThe Working Group on Public Service Media Policies of the International Association for Media and Communication Research invites submissions for the IAMCR Conference to be held from July 15-19, 2012 at the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN) in Durban, South Africa.

The deadline for submissions is February 14, 2012.

The conference will be held under the general theme, 'South-North Conversations'. The theme reflects the asymmetry of global communication flows, but without implying the negatives that usually accompany discussions of the 'digital divide'. The theme also calls for balanced and empowering practices and narratives that do not regard those in ‘the South’ as victims primarily in need of handouts from the more affluent.

Recently the Working Group on ‘European Public Broadcasting Policies’ has changed its name into ‘Public Service Media Policies’. This Conference in South Africa offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen our inclusiveness towards contributions from all over the globe and to respond to the current trend of convergence of media modalities. Reconceptualizing the public interest of/in the media and critically assessing old and new public service practices in social communications systems, taking into account social values such as diversity, access, quality and independence, is imperative in this new context. In this conference, we wish to emphasize the public and social value as well as the positive, empowering potential of public service media around the globe. Papers with reference to public service media, using the public and social value concept in the ‘Global South’ countries, territories and communities will be particularly welcomed.

Selected Issues

The WG on Public Service Media Policies welcomes papers and panels related to the conference theme, including such topics as:

The public value and social value dimensions of the social communications system at a global, national and/or regional level in a context of global crisis and transformation; Restructuring public service institutions, ideas and practices between the problems of the past (e.g., paternalistic tradition, post-colonial heritage) and the challenges of the future (e.g., new technological challenges and political and commercial dependencies); (Im)possibilities of public-private partnerships (e.g., ad hoc collaboration or joint ventures among regional broadcasters, regional newspapers, and digital forums) with a view to stronger ‘information clusters’ in the region, within a community; Prospects for vulnerable content (e.g., homemade fiction, arts and culture or content aimed at kids, ethnic cultural minorities, small linguistic communities) on public service media; Universal access in gender, age, education and/or ethnic origin-related terms in the context of public service media; Privatization as a potential solution for vulnerable regional public platforms; experiences in the North and the South; Specialization as a path to follow for public service media (e.g., no longer offering all genres, small vs. broad public service, in smaller and bigger countries)? Identifying the optimal balance between competition and monopoly in the media ecology with a view to open and/or reflective diversity of public service media’s supply: case-studies; News and deliberation as public service values: examples of fruitful collaboration between broadcasters and social media platforms.

IAMCR 2012 - Communication and HIV/AIDS and Health Communication and Change Working Groups Call for Papers

erythrina_caffraThe Communication and HIV/AIDS Working Group and the Health, Communication and Change Working Group of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) welcome the submission of papers for the 2012 Conference to be held in Durban, South Africa from July 15-19, 2012 at the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN).

The theme of the conference, ‘South-North Conversations’, reflects the inherent asymmetries in communication flows between the developed and the developing nations.

Wider understandings of ‘developed- developing- underdeveloped’ countries in transition as well as the ‘core-periphery’ are changing. It can be evidenced by BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa), the ‘African Renaissance’ and the African Union. We cannot, therefore, continue to assume that communication and media – seen in terms of value and meaning systems, historical trajectories, monetary and technological transfers – can continue to be seen as they have been in the past.

Yet the reality of disparity and inequalities persist, and these need to be situated and evaluated. South-North Conversations asks us to engage with disparities and inequalities in conversation – as partners, with peer-to-peer equality, in a more optimistic vision of global engagement. We hope to not only focus on topics close to the concerns of the host nation, South Africa, but also to a range of regional interests across the globe. Some of the sub-themes include:

Uneven access to technological, political and social capital;
Asymmetrical news and information flows;
The un-dead spectre of cultural imperialism;
Media & social media, social challenge and advocacy;
Communication as a tool of empowerment of the marginalised and the stigmatized;
Dependency on uneven donor-recipient relationships;
Lack of indigenous theory formation.

HIV/AIDS has been in existence around the world for over 25 years, and illnesses with a longer history continue to pose challenges across the socio-economic and medical spectrum. The greatest effects of the epidemic are felt predominantly by the most marginalized sectors of society, in developed and developing countries. This takes place in the context of increasing polarizations between the very rich and the very poor, increasing processes of exclusion and marginalization. This remains true for other health conditions, as these social processes are produced and reproduced across a range of health conditions. This includes unequal and value-laden communication flows between centres and peripheries, with political and socio-economic contexts and histories playing a role in how communication is perceived and used to address the problems. As such, anomalies and inequalities exist in the flow of knowledge between ‘North-South’ and centre-periphery within and between societies.

Call for Papers

The working groups wish to invite papers that engage with these dynamics in relation to HIV/AIDS and broader health conditions and concerns. We are interested in both theoretical and practice-based work that reflect upon health, including HIV/AIDS, in communication practice. In the context of this year’s conference theme, we are interested in issues related to health and/or HIV/AIDS and dynamics of inequalities and difference: How does communication intersect with HIV/AIDS, health and social change in the context of cores and peripheries. How can dialogue about HIV/AIDS, health and social change processes take place within the context of South-North relations? How have communication processes between the South and North been affected and changed by the epidemic and the changing nature of health and dis/ease? Where have spaces of communication about health and/or HIV/AIDS been created? What are their dimensions and textures? What are the uses of and intersections with alternative media and health and/or HIV/AIDS? What about health conditions, and the role of media and communication in constructing health discourses?

In addition to conference-specific themes, we will continue to encourage papers that engage with critical, dynamic reflection on communication research and practice, addressing the multiple dimensions of health, HIV/AIDS, communication and change, from multiple disciplinary perspectives. We encourage papers that enhance understandings of the role of media and communication in general about health, illness and disease, and the contexts in which diverse audiences engage with, negotiate, accept and/or resist these. This may include, for example, communication policy, implications of cultural contexts for communication, the influence of biomedical interventions on communication practice, campaign fatigue, governance and accountability, communication and the construction of illness and the gendered nature of the health and HIV/AIDS. Please consider the implications of your paper for communication theory and/or practice.

We are particularly interested in papers that present innovative approaches to HIV/AIDS and/or communication theory and practice, and take a critical approach to communication, exploring the interdisciplinary, multi-dimensional nature of the epidemic. As such, we hope to see more studies that move beyond traditional health communication models, and reflect upon the diversity of approaches to communication, including, for instance, social change communication, citizen/alternative/radical media approaches, participatory communication, advocacy communication, folk media and other cultural approaches.

Both individual abstracts and panel proposals are encouraged. The sessions of the working groups will be organized to suit emerging themes from submitted abstracts.

Logistics & Deadlines

It is expected that for the most part, only one (1) abstract will be submitted per person for consideration by the Conference. The working groups will consider no more than two abstracts per presenter. However, under no circumstances should there be more than three (3) abstracts bearing the name of the same applicant either individually or as part of any group of authors. Please note also that the same abstract or another version with minor variations in title or content must not be submitted to other Sections or Working Groups of the Association for consideration, after an initial submission. Such submissions will be deemed to be in breach of the conference guidelines and will be automatically rejected by the Open Conference System, by the relevant Head or by the Conference Programme Referee. Such applicants risk being removed entirely from the conference programme.

Upon submission of an abstract, you will be asked to confirm that your submission is original and that it has not been previously published in the form presented. You will also be given an opportunity to declare if your submission is currently before another conference for consideration.

Abstracts or panel proposals should include: the name(s) of author(s) and professional title(s); institutional affiliation; and e-mail address/contact information. Due to scheduling considerations, a limited number of panels will be accepted.

The deadline for submission of abstracts (between 300 and 500 words in length) is February 14, 2012. You will be informed whether or not your abstract is accepted by March 12, 2012. The deadline for full conference papers is June 10, 2012.

IAMCR 2012 - Media Production Analysis Working Group Call for Papers

erythrina_caffraThe Working Group for Media Production Analyses of the International Association for Media and Communication Research invites submissions for the 2012 IAMCR Congress in Durban, South Africa, from July 15 to 19, 2012.

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 2012 conference theme 'South-North Conversations' are most welcome. We also invite empirical studies of media production whether they are qualitative or quantitative in nature, whether they analyse fiction or non-fiction production or whether they analyse mass media, social media or personal media.



The group is 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. As our focus is on production, papers based entirely or mainly on content analysis will not be accepted.

The Working Group invites abstract submissions for the 2012 conference, and these may only be submitted via the IAMCR Open Conference System.

Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words in length.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is February 14, 2012. The results of peer reviews of submitted abstracts will be announced by the Working Group Head by March 12, 2012. Full papers must be submitted online via the IAMCR-OCS by June 10, 2012.

The Media, Religion and Culture (MRC) Working Group invites proposals for papers to be presented at the annual conference for the International Association for Media & Communication Research at the Howard College Campus of the University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN), in Durban, South Africa; from 15th-19th of July 2012. The website address of the Durban conference is: http:www.iamcr2012.ukzn.ac.za/



The working group on Media, Religion & Culture is scheduled to meet Monday-Wednesday, 16th-18th of July, with a business meeting on Tuesday. The IAMCR conference will be held under the general theme, `South-North Conversations’. The term ‘Global South’ refers to communities that have been excluded from the mainstream of economic, social and communication development. The theme reflects asymmetry of global communication flows, but without implying the negatives that usually accompany discussions of the digital divide, and regard those in `the South’ as victims primarily in need of handouts from the more affluent. Rather, emphasis on what the North might take from the South in a reciprocal relation is invited.

There is hardly an established canon of research in this wide field of media, religion and culture, although some nuclei in the current research agenda can be identified. While the MRC working group will certainly welcome papers which address the media-religion aspects of the conference theme `South-North Conversations’, papers across the broad spectrum of research on the relationship of media, religion and culture are equally encouraged. These include images of religion in mass media; news coverage of religion; religious communities and the media; impact of media on religious practices whether personal or institutional; theological approaches to the mass media; new media and religion; the emergences of the religious according to new mediatic conditions; film and religion; religious media; religious public relations; the specificity of communication practices in religions given their singular content and claims; religious communication processes; media expression of faith and spirituality etc. Generally, there is an effort to support and clarify more descriptive scholarship with a number of the developing explanatory and theoretical accounts.

All approaches are welcome for proposed papers, provided they offer good quality and interesting, novel perspectives in their respective methodological nature.

Send your 300 to 500 words abstract by February 14th 2012. In accord with the instructions of the IAMCR organisers, all abstracts should be identified for the specific working group (in this case, Media, Religion & Culture) and must be submitted via the central Open Conference System (OCS). Submissions should not be sent directly to us at the working group.

The OCS system will open on December 1st 2011, and will close on February 14, 2012.

No more than three abstracts may be submitted by any applicant.

It is intended that decisions on acceptance of abstracts will be communicated to individual applicants by the Media, Religion and Culture working group no later than March 12th 2012. On the same day (March 12th) conference registration will open for bookings by participants.

The full text of accepted papers must be submitted no later than June 10th 2012.

Please, share this notice with other academic researchers on media and religion.

We look forward to seeing old and new participants in the working group in Durban.
