*Call*

Abstracts are invited for /The Future of Intimacy/ – a 
multi-disciplinary conference to be held at Cardiff University’s School 
of Journalism, Media & Culture, over 10-12 September 2024. We invite 
abstracts for 20-minute papers that engage with possible, likely, 
inevitable or alternative future forms, contents, orientations, risks 
and challenges in and around intimacy, both mediated and unmediated.

Abstracts should describe the ways the proposed paper will engage with 
any aspect of nascent, imminent or immanent issues of intimacy, from 
across the realms of media, culture, and society. Approaches should be 
connected to one or more academic field of the interdisciplinary arts, 
humanities and social sciences (such as media, cultural studies, 
sociology, literature, philosophy, history, etc.).

*Process*

Please follow the abstract submission instructions below. Conference 
presentations will be twenty minutes each. We can also consider 
proposals for pre-constituted panels made up of three presenters, each 
giving twenty-minute presentations.

Successful applicants who present at the conference will also be given 
the opportunity to submit their papers to /JOMEC Journal/, with a view 
to publication in a special themed issue. /JOMEC Journal/ is a peer 
reviewed, ‘diamond open access’ journal published by Cardiff University 
Press.

All abstracts will be assessed by academics from the School of 
Journalism, Media & Culture (JOMEC) at Cardiff University.
