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

Tue Dec 11 19:48:21 GMT 2012




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 presentations.

Full papers
Participants are invited to submit full papers of high quality. Full papers should be kept within reasonable length and should not extend 15 pages (4.500 words).

Work-in-progress (extended abstracts)
Extended abstracts are suited to present research-in-progress. They should contain an overview of the research question, relevant background, methodological approach, and preliminary findings / discussions. The final submission should not exceed 4 pages (1.500 words).

Panel proposals
Panel proposals should contain an a list of 4-5 abstracts for full papers or work-in-progress extended abstracts, and an introductory text of no more than 250 words explaining the coherence of the presented abstracts and the rational for presenting them in a themed panel. In addition, the proposal should name a chair or two for the panel.

Posters

The size should be approximately 84cm X 119cm and posters will be displayed in the foyer at the main conference venue. Abstracts for posters should adhere to the same guidelines as for full papers and work-in-progress.

Abstracts should be submitted online, via an online abstract and paper handling system, which will be made available on this website in January 2013.
