[ecrea] 2nd call for papers: Communication, Art, Media

COMMUNICATION, ART, MEDIA: PROBING IMPACTS AND INTERSECTIONS

Lisbon, October 13-15, 2017
Workshop organised by the Philosophy of Communication section of ECREA
Lusófona University, Lisbon
 In this workshop, the Philosophy of Communication section of the 
European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) 
invites communication scholars, philosophers, and artists to reflect on, 
develop, and debate the relationship between the arts, the aesthetic, 
and communication. We invite proposals that probe influences and 
tensions between these spheres from a variety of philosophical and 
theoretical perspectives. We seek papers that explore the contributions 
of specific philosophers to the question at hand as well as discussions 
of the unique communicative characteristics of individual art forms and 
works. We are looking for presentations that deal with the intersection 
of communication and art in contemporary social life – from the 
proliferation of visual culture and developments in the cultural 
industries to the aestheticization of politics and everyday life – as 
well as contributions that address the implications of contemporary 
media aesthetics on the theorizing of communication itself. Examinations 
of historical transformations of the relationship between varying modes 
of communication and the arts are also most welcome.
 Confirmed keynote speakers: David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds) 
and Jussi Parikka (Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton)
 Abstracts of 300-400 words should be submitted by 15th of May 2017, 
along with a short biography note (including at least name, current 
affiliation, and position), at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecreaphil2017 Notifications of 
acceptance will be sent by the end of May, 2017
