CFP 'From media to mediations: rethinking mass media communication in 
Spain after Franco's regime'


As part of the International Conference ‘La España Actual: Cuarenta años 
de historia (1976-2016)” -“Present-day Spain: Forty years of history 
(1976-2016)”-organized by AHA and AHP, the Seminario de Historia y 
Teoría de la Cultura - Seminar of History and Theory of Culture- is 
organising a panel entitled“From media to mediations: rethinking mass 
media communication in Spain after Franco’s regime”. The International 
Conference will take place at Universidad de Cádiz (Spain) on May 10-12, 
2017.


The proposed panel seeks to arise questions about the presence and use 
of mass media in Spain after Franco’s death. The new democratic rights 
and liberties allowed the re-configuration of both the structure and the 
social uses of media. Therefore, we wish to develop an analytical 
approach stressing the relationship between these tools of information 
and communication in order to understand the roles they play in the 
Spanish society, e.g. as elements assembling the social fabric, as 
carriers of diverse discourses, and as loudspeakers for cultural 
expressions. This way, we wish to gain insight of the cultural models 
and practices that emerge in the process of creation, transmission and 
reception, through a theoretical and critical effort focused on the 
media’s associated products.


Accordingly, submissions dealing with mass media in Spain during the 
period of 1976-2016 are welcomed. However, the panel’s coordination is 
especially interested in the following topics:

  *

    A diachronic history of mass media in Spain while avoiding to fall
    in traditional institutional history.

  *

    Thematic research in a certain type of mass media (video games,
    television, radio, film…).

  *

    Comparative studies between different mediums.

  *

    Transnational approaches to mass media, comparative studies between
    Spain and other countries.

  *

    Interdisciplinary studies that aim to address the history of mass
    media through particular analytical lenses: gender history, women's
    history, history of emotions, etc.


The deadline for abstract submissions is January 15, 2017, while full 
papers have to be submitted before April 15, 2017. The language of the 
communications has to be Spanish or English. Submissions have to be 
submitted to the following emails:

(seminariohytcultura /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(seminariohytcultura /at/ gmail.com)>

(geha /at/ uca.es) <mailto:(geha /at/ uca.es)>


We look forward to receive your abstract submission.
