Call for Papers

Prestige is the status or reputation associated with renown, acclaim or 
glamour. It is often linked with celebrities and fame, and in 
contemporary mediated societies, this status is often afforded through 
the public visibility of legacy or digital media systems. Through 
the Power of Prestige conference series, we endeavour to explore 
the power associated with prestige as well as 
the power that prestige brings. While conceptually aligned with the 
areas of media and cultural studies, the conference series seeks 
explorations of the theorisation and application of prestige in 
different fields including sociology, criminology and political studies. 
The conference series also aims to explore the utility of prestige when 
encountering social issues such as political or environmental activism.


Starting broadly in the area of media studies, the 
inaugural Power of Prestige conference invites scholars researching 
areas related to media, fame and the environment to explore the central 
question of how prestige (or fame) is formulated, utilised, and 
critiqued. We welcome submissions in the following (non-exhaustive) 
topic areas:


  *

    Theoretical explorations of the concept of Fame and Prestige

  *

    Constructions and utilisation of Fame and Prestige in media industries

  *

    Fame and Prestige in the Global South

  *

    Power and influence of the media

  *

    Prestige, Attention and the Environment

  *

    Power of environmental activism

  *

    Prestige of celebrity activism

  *

    Building prestige through social media

  *

    Prestige and Fame in the age of digital media

  *

    Prestige, Fame and AI


Submission may be for individual 15-minute presentations or panels of 3 
papers.


We invite scholars from a diverse range of career levels, including PhD 
candidates and Early Career Researchers, and institutional affiliations 
to submit to the conference and associated publication opportunity.
