[Commlist] Conference on Media and Publics

Wed Oct 06 13:04:05 GMT 2021




CFP - Conference 'MEDIA AND PUBLICS (Roskilde University 28th and 28th april 2022)

The notion of ‘publics’ or ‘the public’ is as well-known as it is elusive of exact definition. In everyday vocabulary, it is most often used in reference to a collection of people – for example, the listening or protesting public – and carries normative ideals of the importance of the public in democratic society.

Within academia, the concept itself and the process of the formation of publics have been and continue to be highly theorised across disciplines and in the wake of societal changes, leaving a multitude of different conceptualisations behind.

How are these useful in various ways when studying societal transformations and the role journalism? These questions and many more will be explored in “Media and Publics 2022” conference. Media and Publics 2022 is a joint effort between three larger research projects at RUC, which all centre around the notion of publics: DataPublics, funded by the Velux Foundation, AlterPublics, funded by the Carlsberg Foundation, and Cultural Publics, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

With a great line-up of keynote-speakers such as Nancy Fraser (New School, New York), Noortje Marres (University of Warwick), Zizi Papacharissi (University of Illinois Chicago), and Stefania Milan (University of Amsterdam), the conference will deliver insights into the elusive notion of ‘publics’, but also discuss the challenges facing media today.
