ZeMKI international conference „The Mediatization of Time“
December 6-8, 2017

CONFERENCE VENUE:
Swissôtel Bremen
Hillmannpl. 20, 28195 Bremen, Germany

ORGANIZER:
University of Bremen, ZeMKI, Centre for Media, Communication and 
Information Research

TOPIC:
Recent innovations in the digitalization and datafication of 
communication fundamentally affect how people conceptualize, perceive 
and evaluate time to create the kind of world they live in. The 
conference invites participants to think through the interplay of media 
and data in respect of the way social time is constructed, modulated, 
and experienced. This allows to appreciate how new technologies and 
representations deeply affect the temporal organization of today’s media 
suffused societies, and it also sheds light on transformations in 
mediating time. We assume that mediatization as a fundamental societal 
change that interweaves with the development and spread of communication 
and information technologies leaves its mark on the ways we process and 
order the pace, sequence, rhythms and of social reality.
This conference invites to think through the role of media and data 
people have or had at hand to time their interactions, relations, and 
states of being.
The conference is organized by Christian Pentzold and Christine Lohmeier 
from the ZeMKI, Centre for Media, Communication and Information 
Research, University of Bremen in cooperation with Anne Kaun, School of 
Culture and Education, Södertörn University, Stockholm.
