*Towards development of mediatization research V*

*10.12.2021*

Institute of Social Communication and Media Studies,

Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland

in partnership with Academia Europaea Wroclaw Knowledge Hub

Continuing our research meetings focused on specific issues of 
mediatisation chaired by eminent experts (Göran Bolin (2017), Johan 
Fornäs (2018), Andreas Hepp (2019),Mark Deuze (2020)), this year the 
workshop will take place online on 10 December 2021 and it will be led 
by *Professor André Jansson*, director of the Geomedia Research Group at 
the Karlstad University, Sweden.

The title of this year's edition is:

*/Counter-mediatization, digital disconnection and other reverse trends 
in media use/*/./

We invite all mediatization researchers who wish to discuss their 
own research projects in a narrow and closed group of media scholars 
under the guidance of an expert. The aim of such exchange is to answer 
questions like:

  * What are the causes and effects of the retreat from media
    technologies and mediated processes?
  * How conscious media management, containment, contestation, negation
    is shaping?
  * How the media environment is being desaturated and what off-the-grid
    life is about?
  * How private, professional, social and public life is being demediated?
  * What digital disconnection is and what it entails?
  * How fashions, trends and tendencies such as digital detox, etc. are
    changing everyday media practice, as well as various aspects of
    private and social life?
  * How are various forms of counter-mediatization related to the
    production of space and place?
  * How are different disconnection strategies related to social power
    and privilege?
  * How the theory of mediatization can develop in the context of the
    reverse trends in media use?

The idea and format of the meeting is based on a closed specialization 
workshop in a formula proven in the previous editions, i.e.:

  * participants work on different types of materials (articles, works
    in progress, proposals, theses, reports, drafts etc.) under the
    guidance of the edition leader;
  * meeting is preceded by substantive preparation by the leader and all
    participants on the basis of materials circulated among all
    participants in advance;
  * during the meeting all participants focus on group discussion and
    expert feedback (presentations and speeches are limited to a minimum);
  * seminar is preceded by an introductory lecture by the leader.

**There is no conference fee.*

*Schedule*

  * 30.09.21 - submissions of proposals (please use the form available
