*Call for Papers:*

Streaming media content, live or recorded, has experienced exponential 
growth during the COVID19 pandemic. Streaming, understood as the digital 
transmission and reception of files over the Internet, refers to text, 
audio and video content. It has impacted upon both content distribution 
and consumption in a variety of sectors such as film, television, games, 
publishing, music, and radio/podcasts. The multiple forms and commercial 
models through which streaming services are organized -- from 
transnational streaming services, to such that target specific 
geographical markets or audiences, and from commercial to indie and 
public service streaming -- transform cultural production in manifold 
ways. With streaming, consumption has become more on demand and 
personalised.


This conference on the impact of streaming on the media industries and 
cultural production is particularly interested in bringing together 
scholars examining the impact of streaming on different media industry 
sectors and/or in different countries and production contexts. It 
especially welcomes contributions that explore the impact of streaming 
along different parts of the media supply-chain, from the front-end 
distribution and delivery of content, through content delivery networks 
and physical infrastructure operations.


Rather than the usual format, this online conference will consist of 
workshops made up of 5-10-minute provocations/statements designed to 
generate debate and discussion.


We also welcome pre-constituted workshops of four or five 5-10-minute 
provocations/statements, as well as workshops that include industry 
participants.


Two slots per session will be ringfenced for _early career researchers_, 
pending sufficient applications. Please indicate if you are an early 
career researcher in the Abstract.


For *5-10-minute provocations/statements*, please submit an abstract of 
maximum 150 words, and a biography of maximum 100 words. Individually 
submitted provocations will be formed by the selection committee into 
workshops consisting of 4-5 provocations.


For *pre-constituted workshops *of four or five 5-10-minute 
provocations/statements, please submit a maximum 800 word abstract 
summarising the overall theme for the workshop and the contribution of 
each participant, and a maximum 100 word biography for each participant.


The deadline for submissions is *18 March 2022. **Submission
