[Commlist] ICA Pre-conference on Debating Creator Culture - Call for Submissions
Sun Jan 26 19:01:07 GMT 2025
Reminder: ICA Pre-conference on Debating Creator Culture — Call for
Submissions (Jan 31)
_
This is a reminder about our thrilling ICA25 Preconference, *Debating
Creator Culture*, hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder, College
of Media, Communication, and Information, on June 11, 2025. *The
submission deadline is January 31, 2025.*
*What’s the debate all about?*
Building on recent research into creators, influencers, and digital
labor and visibility, we wish to collectively explore whether “creator
studies” constitutes a new subfield, an extension of communication
studies, or something else entirely. Revisiting foundational debates
around disciplines and field-setting, we ask (borrowing from Baym,
2005): What is the “right term” for this scholarly community and its
work? Is it an academic “field” or “discipline”? To what extent does
“creator studies” demand a unique scholarly space strengthened by
interdisciplinary epistemologies and methods, especially from
communication and media studies?
_We particularly welcome papers or panels that explore and debate topics
such as:_
# Continuities and departures from media and communication history
# Studies that bring outside or novel epistemologies, theories, and
frameworks into dialogue with existing communication scholarship
# New approaches, methods, or questions deemed central to creator studies
# Questions about the value of content-related terms, such as “format,”
“genre,” and “engagement”
# The structural and material conditions of creator industries
# The global formations and dynamics of creator industries, particularly
in peripheral markets and the Global South, and in response to the
conditions posed by platform nationalism
