The journal was born in the midst of a global war on terror that locked 
down time and space such that all conflicts seemed to become part of a 
single campaign. Since then there have been significant transformations 
in the way war and conflict is produced, enacted, negotiated, remembered 
and ‘felt’ in, through and with media.

The aim of the tenth anniversary conference is to consider, evaluate and 
reflect upon these transformations through the themes: Spaces of War and 
War of Spaces.

Spaces of War allows us to analyse how media spaces (traditional, 
digital, cultural, aesthetic, embodied, mnemonic) are used to position 
wars in space and time in a manner that transforms the conduct, outcomes 
and consequences of war for all involved.
War of Spaces allows us to analyse how ‘war’ actors (political, 
military, survivors, victims) utilize, integrate and compete over 
(media) space thereby thereby recreating space and time in a manner that 
is transformative across political, social, cultural and personal spheres.
Drawing on these themes, the tenth anniversary conference aims to 
showcase the best research in this field while also taking stock of how 
the field has developed and to identify the emerging challenges we face.

We are particularly interested in scholarly and practice contributions 
that speak to these themes through a range of topics across various 
spheres and powers relations (global, gender) including (but not limited 
to):

- The ethics of war and media ethics
- Gender, war and media
