Transitions, Visions and Beyond
9th Baltic Conference in Europe, Södertörn University, Huddinge, Stockholm,
12-15 June 2011
Section: Media, Communication and Technology – Call for Papers
Media has a historical legacy of promoting continuities as well as changes and breaks. During the turbulent years of revolution in 1989/1990 the media were celebrated as catalysts of social change establishing a space for negotiating the configurations of a new public sphere. In the aftermath of the immediate revolutionary times media were mainly characterised by commercialisation in support of dominant political and economical interests. Visions of media are often still caught in this tension between emancipation and manipulation in today’s discourses.
 
This section seeks to adopt historical perspectives on media in order to understand today’s media landscape. The section invites presentations dealing with the broad question of how the relationship between media as institutions, spaces of negotiation, discourse catalysts and the political sphere, the society and everyday life look like.
Suggestions for panels, individual papers and offers to serve as chair are welcome and should be forwarded to Anne Kaun ((anne.kaun /at/ sh.se)) no later than 1 February 2011
 
Selected papers will be published in special issues of The Journal for Baltic Studies and Baltic Worlds.
