[ecrea] cfp - ICTs, (digital) media, and anti-austerity protests

Cristina Flesher Fominaya and I are configuring a panel on *ICTs, 
(digital) media, and anti-austerity protests* to propose for the CES 
conference in July 2015 in Paris. If any one would like to submit an 
abstract for consideration for the panel, please send it directly to 
Cristina at (cristinaflesher /at/ gmail.com) 
<https://webmail.u-pec.fr/src/compose.php?send_to=(cristinaflesher /at/ gmail.com)>.

The abstract is below:

*ICTs, (digital) media, and anti-austerity protests*

ICTs and digital media form a central part of social movement 
communication strategies, but to what extent does their use vary across 
contexts? In this panel we would like to explore the use of ICTs and 
digital media in the recent European anti-austerity protests to better 
understand their strategic uses in social movement communication, both 
internal and external.  Papers addressing their use and how it 
interfaced with the organizational, identity, and cultural dimensions of 
social movements, as well as their interaction with other media 
technologies and outlets are welcome. Attention to the specific impacts 
their use had for protest (both positive and negative) is also welcome. 
Comparative papers or those addressing diffusion processes are also 
welcome if they clearly engage some of the dimensions above.
