When it comes to the integration of different media into everyday life and the consequences of these processes for growing up and living together in the short, medium and long term, the research areas mediatisation and media socialisation are currently at the forefront. One important commonality of the two research areas is their emphasis on a processual perspective, i.e. focussing on questions of communicative, social and cultural change. It seems logical to combine mediatisation and media socialisation conceptually and understand them as complementary research fields whose representatives could mutually inspire and learn from one another. Mediatisation theory works explicitly or implicitly along the assumption that socialisation conditions change during the development of new media (environments) and their adoption. Conversely, media socialisation research is legitimised by the change in media and the resulting social and cultural change, which merits continuous observation. Both research fields share problems such as the open question, beyond microsociological explorations, they can deliver on zealous explanatory and interpretational claims (e.g. “mediatisation as a metaprocess”; “media socialisation as social integration”), or in other words what is the relationship between the necessarily limited empiricism and the theoretical reflection upon overarching consequences of medial change.



The aim of the conference “Mediatisation and Media Socialisation” is to intensify the dialogue between the two research areas, to explore relations and ‘task sharings’, to discuss affinities as well as incompatibilities, and to develop perspectives for mediatisation research and media socialisation research.



The call is for papers presenting theoretical and/or empirical results that:



• trace back the historical development of mediatisation and/or media socialisation research and, based on this, identify priorities (at national level and/or internationally comparative);

• discuss the present status and current challenges of mediatisation research and/or media socialisation research;

• outline the relationship between the two research approaches in terms of where they overlap and where their boundaries lie;

• attempt to correlate the structural levels and aspects of action systematically in mediatisation research and/or media socialisation research;

• reveal the practical dimensions and research paths of media socialisation and mediatisation.



Organisation: Sociology of Media Communication division of DGPuK, the Media and Communication Sociology section of DGS and the DFG Priority Program 1505 Mediatised Worlds



Conference Organizers: Dr. des. Wolfgang Reissmann and Prof. Dr. Dagmar Hoffmann
