CALL FOR PAPERS:


 /Mediatisation of Culture and Everyday Life:
 Comparisons, Histories and Critiques/

International workshop in Stockholm 23–24 April 2015, organised by Stiftelsen Riks­bankens Jubileumsfond’s sector committee ‘Mediatisation of Culture and Everyday Life’ in cooperation with ECREA TWG Mediatization.

This workshop prioritises cultural perspectives in both the aesthetic and the anthro­po­logical sense, attending to arts and cultural industries as well as cultural practices of making sense in/of their daily lives. Three themes are of particular interest:

(1) Intermedial /comparisons/ between different media forms, cultural fields and realms of everyday life, so as to balance media specificity with general media trends, overcome disciplinary compartmentalisation between different humanities, and open up for linking the cultural sector to the lifeworlds of civil society at large. How has mediatisation been studied in different fields and spheres of culture and everyday life?

(2) Intertemporal /histories/ making comparisons and studying processes across larger time spans, including ideas of remediation and recontextualisation that allow breaking up simplistic linear narratives and contrasts between past and present. How has mediatisation unfolded over time, and how is it related to other types of transformations, such as modernisation, globalisation, commodification or individualisation?

(3) Interdisciplinary /critiques /that not only describe mediatisation processes but also scrutinise their social, individual and ethical impact on culture and everyday life. How are emancipatory and authoritarian potentials balanced in contemporary mediatisation processes? How can media-related transformations on the societal macro level be linked to experiential spaces and modes of socialisation on an individual micro level?
