CALL FOR PAPERS
 Panel "The re-figuration of public communication in times of deep 
mediatization: Pioneer journalism, audience relationships and public 
connection"

at the international Norbert Elias conference 2018 entitled
"Global Interdependencies. What’s new in the human society of 
individuals? The political and academic relevance of Norbert Elias’s 
work today“

Brussels, Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles
December 5-8, 2018, Brussels

The Research Centre in Political Science (CReSPo) and the Institute for 
European Studies (IEE) of Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles (USL-B) are 
organizing the next Elias conference in Brussels, Belgium.
The ZeMKI, University of Bremen, together with the Hans-Bredow-Insitute 
for Media Research, organizes the session: "The re-figuration of public 
communication in times of deep mediatization: Pioneer journalism, 
audience relationships and public connection".

As a consequence of ‘deep mediatization’ (Couldry/Hepp 2017) – the 
increasing entanglement of the social world with digital media and their 
infrastructures – public communication has fundamentally transformed. 
These changes can manifest themselves in negative ways such as 
metric-driven journalism, fake news, or silos of media use. But they 
have had positive manifestations such as investigative forms of data 
journalism. The idea of this session is to take a figurational approach 
to empirical research on public communication. We invite papers taking a 
figurational approach to following topics:

• new forms of journalism, for example, data-driven or algorithmic 
journalism that emerge beyond the purview of established media 
organizations, disrupting journalism’s organizational figurations.
• journalists’ relationships with their audiences as a figuration, that 
fundamentally transform with deep mediatization, a process that 
influences their work and output in many ways.
• users’ public connection perceived as a communicative figuration, 
based on highly complex media repertoires.

Panel organizers: Andreas Hepp, University of Bremen, ZeMKI, Uwe 
Hasebrink and Wiebke Loosen, Hans-Bredow-Institute Hamburg

Abstracts for papers of no more than 400 words should be submitted not 
later than 15 May 2018. Every effort will be made to accommodate 
contributions by all scholars who are making serious use of the ideas of 
Norbert Elias in their research.
Submissions should be sent to the conference email address: 
EliasBrussels2018[at]gmail.com
