[ecrea] CFP: Nordmedia 2013 Media Literacy and Media Education Division

NORDMEDIA 2013, Oslo
Media Literacy and Media Education Division

In the new digital age, media literacy and media education are widely 
incorporated into communication and education policies both in the EU 
and on the national level in many European and Nordic countries. Media 
environment are changing rapidly and researchers are trying to describe 
the new culture with different kinds of buzz-words like “participatory 
culture”, “re-mixing culture”, “convergence culture”, “community of 
practice” etc.

In this division, we ask what challenges do digital environments, new 
risks and opportunities in online life and multimodal and creative media 
production bring to media education and teaching and learning in 
informal and formal settings? Are we encountering crucial generational, 
cultural and social gaps between “digital natives” and “digital 
emigrants”? Division welcomes papers that concern media education and 
media literacy in different age groups, from children to adults, and 
from different social, educational, gender, ethnic and aesthetic 
perspectives.

The deadline for submitting abstracts to the Nordmedia2013 conference is 
15 February 2013. The conference accepts abstracts for full papers, 
work-in-progress (extended abstracts), panel proposals and poster
