In the second round of this event we will explore how much of the early cultural intermediaries literature within cultural studies (emerging from the late 1980s-1990s) and across a range of industries (fashion, music, popular media/magazines, for example) is relevant to today’s cultural forms in the digital age. Specifically, the aim of the symposium is to gather experts on cultural industries to discuss and analyse how consumers’ practices performed in digital spaces (e.g. blog, social media, and websites) are facilitating the emergency of new cultural and economic forms in this industry. It will be cross- disciplinary and cross-sector, seeking also to examine the differences, synergies and similarities across key cultural industries (for example, fashion, music, print/publishing, film, food, gaming).

We invite participants to send abstracts that explore the practices, identities, and discourses of cultural mediators in the digital age from a broad range of disciplines – including sociology, media studies, geography, anthropology, cultural studies, STS. Questions and topics include but are not limited to:

-       How do CIs create meaning and valorise cultural products in the digital age?

-       How do their practices vary across industries (e.g. music, media, fashion, design, and food) in the digital age?

-       What role do digital technologies (particularly social media) play in the practices of CIs?

-       What forms of labour are emerging from consumers’ social media practices of mediation around goods and flows produced in the cultural industry?

-       How are the off- and online practices of CIs regulated, and by whom?

-       What type (s) of value (s) (e.g. economic, symbolic) are consumers producing through their online practices of mediation?

-       What kind of knowledge do consumers produce and circulate through social media in relation to flows and goods produced in the cultural industry?

-       Theoretically, what kind of sociological, cultural, and economic concepts and theories serve to understand online practices of mediation in relation to flows and goods produced in the cultural industry?

Please send abstracts (350 words) with a short bio (100 words) by April the 2nd to:

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

The abstract should include theoretical and methodological discussions and have to be submitted and presented in English. Please include relevant biographical information as well. On submission of the proposal, only the proposing author will receive an email confirming receipt. Abstract and paper presentations may be submitted and presented in English.

The program will be available by May the 22nd.
