[ecrea] IAMCR 2013 Conference - Dublin, Ireland

Tue Aug 07 16:41:55 GMT 2012


IAMCR CONFERENCE 2013 : First Announcement

We are very pleased to announce that the 2013 conference of the IAMCR
will take place in Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland.

DATES: 25-29 June, 2013

THEME: The overarching theme of the 2013 IAMCR conference is "Crises,
'Creative Destruction' and the Global Power and Communication Orders".

The conference theme engages with the concepts of crisis and "creative
destruction", associated with historically-rare periods of intensified
flux, change and all-round, multi-dimensional processes of innovation.

The theme invites reflections on whether or how the current deep
economic/financial crisis and its attendant gales of "creative destruction"
may promote deep, fundamental or multiple shifts in the geo-political and
communication orders globally. Examples of specific sub-themes here include
considerations of whether and how the current crisis may serve to:

** Reshape the roles, operations and key features of mediated communication,
not least the enhanced role of social media forms and practices;

** Amplify tendencies or shifts towards new geo-political configurations,
including an expanded role for the media and cultural services in the
operation of global power and hegemony.

** Accelerate change in the inter-play between "new" and "mature" media
institutions and their typical practices, cultural forms, and policy
frameworks;

** Amplify the search for new and more globally attuned theories and concepts
within the expanding and rapidly diffusing field of media
communication studies.
