[Commlist] cfp: Digital disconnection, media detox, technological disentanglement: online workshop

We would like to remind you that until the end of September the call for 
applications for the free online workshop with André Jansson, Karlstad 
University, Sweden is open.

**Towards development of mediatization research V. 
Counter-mediatization, digital disconnection and other reverse trends in 
media use**

**ONLINE**

*10.12.2021*

organized by the Institute of Social Communication and Media Studies at 
Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, in partnership 
with Academia Europaea Wroclaw Knowledge Hub

We invite all researchers who wish to discuss their research projects in 
a narrow and closed group of media scholars under the guidance of an 
expert. The aim of this year's edition 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
      on the webpage: https://tiny.pl/r33v6 <https://tiny.pl/r33v6> ; other
