[Commlist] Hermes. CFP-Communication Conference in Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain)

Beginning this upcoming 2021, communication researchers will have an 
annual date at Hermes, the International Conference in Communication, 
Audiovisual Media and Analysis in Spain and LATAM, to be held on March 
25, 26 and 27 in Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain). Hermes will bring 
together scholars interested in media texts and communication produced 
in Spanish and Portuguese. See here the video presentation:

Latin American countries, Portugal and Spain are united by common 
elements that sink their roots in Greco-Roman culture. This is why we 
wanted to name this conference "Hermes", the Greek god of communication, 
oratory and persuasion; in short, the deity will represent the human 
power to question reality and seek answers to questions that allow us to 
orient ourselves in the hazardous world we inhabit. As a god that 
represents change, Hermes gives his name to a conference that aims to 
offer a scientific perspective on the social and cultural contexts of 
all the countries that share Spanish and Portuguese as a language, 
focusing on new trends in the field of audiovisual media and 
communication. On both sides of the Atlantic, there are countries joined 
by the use of these languages, but also differentiated by their specific 
particularities and diverse cultural richness.

Likewise, and as an inevitable result of the meeting, the Spanish 
identity and that of the Latin American countries -very different from 
one another- will be put into play. We are particularly interested in 
analysing the representations of each country that can be found in the 
cultural and communicative productions made and circulated at a global 
level.

The location of the conference, in Lanzarote, will allow us to hold 
relaxed and safe meetings for scientific exchange. It is one of the 
places in Europe with the lowest number of cases of coronavirus. In 
addition, we want to offer the possibility of sharing non formal 
contexts where we know that interesting projects and synergies often arise.

Therefore, Hermes will take place in one of the safest areas in the 
world nowadays: the Canary Islands. A meeting place -that's what we want 
to think- between these two twinned continents: Europe and America. 
Lanzarote, known as "the different island", will allow us to combine 
scientific work with cultural and social events that will enrich our 
understanding of our common heritage.

Although this conference has room for different perspectives within 
communication studies, we wanted to choose a wide range of thematic axes 
that will be led by colleagues of recognized prestige in order to 
outline our priorities. These lines are:

 1. New digital scenarios
 2. Corporations and society: a  new context of communication
 3. Politics, communication and deliberative democracy
 4. Audiovisual and photographic productions
 5. Visual and performing arts and music production
 6. Media representations of Spain
 7. Media representations of Latin America and its conforming countries
