International Association for Media and Communication Research



The Centre for Culture and Cultural Studies (CCCS) invites proposals for 
papers, thematic panels and original media productions for Second Annual 
International CCCS Conference 2014 ‘Media: Theory and Practice’

The aim of this conference revolves around a foundational impetus to 
shed greater light on all relevant aspects of media studies, including 
mass communication, media technology, the visual and the performing 
arts, TV, radio, WEB and print media, as well as other key components of 
media studies and mass communication.

We invite proposals based on media theory (particularly critical media 
studies and cultural studies), and proposals that consider the 
relationship between media and (popular) culture, politics, arts, new 
media, as pertinent fields of study.

We welcome submissions that offer original media productions: 
documentary films, fictionalized or non-narrative creative expressions. 
The submitted proposal needs to contain a creative or theoretical 
explanation of the submitted work. We invite projects by PhD students or 
submissions by teams of students and instructors (lecturers).

Hence, the Second Annual International CCCS Conference 2014 ‘Media: 
Theory and Practice’ strives to offer a dialogic space for media 
theorists and practitioners. Along those lines, we invite media studies’
