*Contents*

The conference "Critical Mediatization Research. Power, inequality and 
social change in a mediatized age" is concerned with critical studies, 
critical analysis, and reflections of the ongoing mediatization 
processes in different parts of the world.

The program promises diverse and transdisciplinary discussions: We are 
very pleased to have Emeritus Prof. Dr. John Storey (University of 
Sunderland, UK) and Dr. Andreas Scheu (University of M??nster, Germany) 
as keynote speakers at the conference. Furthermore, 28 talks in 9 panels 
deal with different theoretical and empirical approaches to critical 
mediatization research: On the one hand, several theory-oriented panels 
discuss possibilities and limits of critical mediatization research from 
perspectives of cultural studies, critical theory, social 
interactionism, social constructionism, and practice theory, among 
others. On the other hand, different case studies deal with topics such 
as political participation and protest in mediatized worlds; 
controversial relationships between governments, social actors and 
media; affective dimensions of mediatized fear, fun and risk; critical 
media practices; and class-related aspects of mediatization.

We invite you to participate in the conference in Bremen and discuss 
these and other aspects of ciritcal mediatization research with us.
