INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE (NEW) AUDIENCE PRACTICES

Research line “Media, Technology, Contexts�

CECC|FCH – Catholic University of Portugal - Lisbon

3rd – 4th April 2014



Extended Deadline: January 31st, 2014

The International Conference “(New) Audience Practices� is organized 
by the research line “Media, Technology, Contexts� of the Research 
Centre for Communication and Culture (CECC), at the Faculty of Human 
Sciences of the Catholic University of Portugal, in collaboration with 
the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action IS0906 
‘Transforming Audiences, Transforming Societies’ and the worldwide 
market research organization GfK.

This international conference seeks to assert itself as a 
multidisciplinary event, looking for contributions from all areas of 
audience research and different disciplinary and methodological 
traditions. Theoretical and critical audience studies regarding 
practices and applications that encompass the market and the industry 
are especially welcome. The bridging of the research developed within 
the academia with the know-how of market research representatives is 
valuable to better understand contemporary audience’s dynamics.

The conference intends to be a space for discussing audience’s uses 
and practices, audience research methods and the adaptation of 
procedures in audience research in order to also include new media 
usage. Original and high quality submissions are expected, from both the 
academic community and the market stakeholders. The diversity of 
approaches is also welcome; papers may address both the transformations 
and permanencies inherent to audience’s practices.

Papers and panel proposals are welcome on the topics listed below, 
amongst others:



§ Measuring (new) audience;

§ Generational media practices;

§ Second-screens;

§ Recording habits;

§ Multi-tasking audience;

§ Interactive audience;

§ Creativity and produsage;

§ Audience methodologies.
