*Towards development of mediatization research VIII
Mediatization(s). Conversations of Theories, Concepts and Traditions*
MS Teams, 22.11.2024
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuing our research meetings focused on specific issues of 
mediatization research chaired by eminent experts (Göran Bolin 
(2017), Johan Fornäs (2018), Andreas Hepp (2019), Mark Deuze 
(2020) André Jansson (2021), Andrew Hoskins (2022), Kirsten Frandsen 
(2023), this year the workshop will take place online on the 22 November 
2024 and it will be led by Professor Carlos A. Scolari, Barcelona’s 
Pompeu Fabra University.
The title of this year's edition is: /Mediatization(s). Conversations of 
Theories, Concepts and Traditions/
We invite all mediatization researchers who wish to discuss their 
own research projects in a narrow and closed group of media scholars 
under the guidance of an expert.
The idea behind this year's edition
This year we would like to dedicate the workshop to such topics of 
contributions as interdisciplinarity in mediatization studies as well as 
new frontiers in mediatization studies, focusing on such issues as:

  * possibilities of the transfer of schools, traditions, concepts etc.
    into mediatization studies
  * methodological and conceptual innovations in mediatization studies
  * clashes of ideas and incompatibility in mediatization studies
  * theoretical and conceptual flexibility versus inflexibility in
    mediatization studies
  * non-obviousness in mediatization studies
  * boundaries and limits of mediatization studies.

We invite submissions that may be aimed at answering the following 
questions:

  * If media construct realities, how should cognitive science and
    similar disciplines be integrated with mediatization studies?
  * What are the relationships between mediatization studies and the
    emerging fields of new materialisms and non-anthropocentric approaches?
  * How can mediatization studies be enriched through exchanges between
    the Global North and the Global South?
  * How can the integration of eco-evolutionary approaches in
    mediatization studies enrich the field?
  * What are the new (or expected in the near future) research objects,
    ideas, methodological, and conceptual innovations in mediatization
    studies?
  * What are the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological challenges
    of mediatization studies?
  * Concepts such as 'deep mediatization' and 'waves of mediatization'
    have been central to mediatization studies. What new concepts and
    metaphors could be introduced to enrich our understanding of
    mediatization processes?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea and principles of the workshop
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, presentations/slides, any
    other drafts etc.) under the guidance of the expert;
  * meeting is preceded by substantive preparation by the expert 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.
