day to day politics at the local level, including
Town Halls and other Local Government
Institutions communication, from their day to day

Call for Papers
Participatory Communications Research (PCR)
International Association
for Media and Communication Research,
IAMCR 2010, July 13-17, 2011,
Kadir Has University, Istanbul, Turkey
http://iamcr.org/congress/istanbul-2011
CALL FOR PAPERS:
The Participatory Communications Research Section
(PCR) invites submissions for its open sessions
at the IAMCR 2011 Conference in Istanbul, Turkey
under the general theme ?Cities, Creativity,
Connectivity?. Given the broad,
inter-disciplinary, multi-perspectival nature of
PCR, we welcome papers that explore the theory
and practice of PCR from different vantage points.
The on-going research that is presented at PCR
sessions is not based on a singular,
all-encompassing understanding of participation.
Rather, participation is a term that is used to
refer to a variety of social processes
(including, but not limited to, planned processes
and their evaluations) that occur in myriad ways
and in a variety of contexts. The PCR Section
addresses issues related to communication
processes within community and the ways in which
communication, information and/or media are
leveraged by citizens or other interested parties
through participatory processes that foster
social change. The section also deals with the
many variables inclusive of politics, economics,
culture and technology that shape the
possibilities and limits of participatory
communication. The sessions are meant to
contribute towards theoretical and methodological
clarification, and we welcome papers that
highlight original approaches and fresh thinking.
We welcome papers on e.g. participatory
communications and participatory communication
processes related to ICTs for sustainable
development, agricultural communication, health
communication, environmental communication,
social networking, citizen communicative
practices (including, but not limited to, citizen
journalism), communications advocacy,
communication rights, community media,
communications for gender empowerment,
participatory video, non-formal education, and
participatory methods (including action
research). However, we will give preference for
papers that advance new theory and practice in these respective areas.
SPECIAL THEMES:
Besides the open call for papers, we would like
to invite papers that address the following special themes:
1) Participatory Communications and Urban Interventions
This session will explore issues related to the
leveraging of e.g. art, theatre and new media to
promote participation aimed at reclaiming the
?City?, inquiring into power struggles and
relationships between online and offline activism.
2) Participatory Communications and the Urban Poor
Participatory communications is used by a range
of urban poor, including rural migrants, refugees
and those working in the informal sector, to
produce ?civic presence? and claim their rights
in the context of so-called global cities. This
session will explore the various ways in which
participatory communications strengthens identity
and capabilities. Participatory communication
practices that produce or substantiate ?civic
presence? at the local level (understood in its
multiple connections with the global) will be of particular interest.
3) The Political Economy of Participatory Communications
As ?participation? becomes increasingly adopted
by bilateral, multilateral and other
institutional actors, there is a need to explore
?who? are involved in setting national and global
agendas related to development and aid, ?how?
participation is operationalised in such agendas,
and the consequences of such
institutionalisations. One can argue that
dominant models offer one-size-fits-all solutions
when in reality what is needed are context-specific approaches.
4) Participatory Communications and new media possibilities
Mobile phone applications and innovative features
of new technologies are contributing towards new
types of mainly urban mobilisations. While many
of these applications are ?consumer driven?,
these applications can and often are subverted
for community and advocacy purposes, and become a
tool for social change. In which innovative ways
are citizens deploying new media to communicate
with each other and to discuss and address civic
issues? How is technology encouraging respectful
listening, engagement with diverse opinions,
thoughtful public deliberation and action about
major social issues? This session will explore
participation in the context of technologies
shaping people and people shaping technologies.
5) New Advances in PCR Theory and methods
A perennial issue in PCR has been the persistence
of the ?old? and a seeming lack of new theory and
methods, and/or critical takes on existing ones.
This session will highlight papers that
explicitly advance original ways of theorising
participatory communications and advances in
methods while denoting an understanding of the
field?s history ?which is essential to avoid ?reinventing the wheel?.
LOGISTICS:
There are possibilities for joint sessions with
other working groups and sections.
Please do not submit your abstract to more than one section.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts
(maximum 300 words) is February 8, 2011. Please
note that this deadline will not be extended.
Please use IAMCR?s Open Conference System (OCS)
to submit your abstracts using the link found on
the official Istanbul conference site. This
system will be available to receive abstracts
from December 1 onwards. Other information on
peer review deadlines and full paper deadlines is
available on the conference website.
Please address your suggestions, comments, concerns, etc. to:
Pradip Thomas, Section Head, (pradip.thomas /at/ uq.edu.au)
Florencia Enghel, Section Vice-Head, (Florencia.Enghel /at/ kau.se)

Dear colleagues,
Below is the call for papers of the History Section for the IAMCR
Conference at Istanbul (July 13-17, 2011).
Best regards,
Carlos Barrera
Chair, History Section, IAMCR
Department of Public Communication
School of Communication

HISTORY SECTION
CALL FOR PAPERS
(IAMCR Conference at Istanbul, Turkey, July 13-17, 2011)
The 2011 IAMCR Conference will be held in Istanbul (Turkey) from July
13-17. The overall conference theme is ?Cities, Creativity and
Connectivity?. Along with this topic, which is closely related to our
interest as researchers, the History Section also proposes specific
sessions for papers devoted to other topics.
This notice is to call for submissions for the History Section of the
IAMCR Program. Papers of historical perspectives, national studies and
international comparisons are particularly sought around the following
related themes:
1. International Communication and Financial Crises
The present worldwide financial crisis is not a new phenomenon.
Throughout history the world has experienced various global economic
crises and recessions that have deeply affected mass media. Papers
exploring the role of the media and other means of communication
during times of global economic crises are welcomed.
2. Media and Empire: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives
Through theoretical and case study work in communication history, we
invite papers focused on the analysis of the relationships between
media development and empires in different periods and regions.
Globalisation is not a completely new phenomenon and the extension of
new communication technologies and other media contributed to foster
former empires in their attempts to maintain their influence and
power. A special call is made for papers on ?Colonialism and the press
in Central Asia and Asia in general?.
3. Journalists? Autobiographies as a Source for Media History
Among the diverse sources that media historians have for their studies
on the history of the different media, autobiographies written by
journalists, editors or publishers have a special value since they
come from first-person experiences. The autobiographies offer a
colourful picture of journalists? experiences during their
professional careers: how they reflect the advancement of their
careers, changes in journalistic standards and editorial routines;
what kinds of professional dilemmas they faced in different political
and cultural environments, etc., etc.
Autobiographical material reflects the individuals? experiences within
particular social contexts and is very subjective and emotional. It
cannot be looked at from the viewpoint of ?historical truth?; but it
does have other merits for research. The value and reliability of the
autobiographies as sources for journalism historical research should
definitely be discussed. Papers exploring this issue in one or various
countries are welcomed.
4. History of Research on Journalism and Communication
The growing importance of journalism, and in a broader sense, of
communication in modern societies gradually led scholars to consider
it as an object of academic study and research. Given the diversity of
traditions in this field, we invite papers that explore the
development of journalism and communication history research in
different countries: from isolated initiatives of scholars coming from
other fields to attempts to introduce the subject into university
departments. International comparison is necessary to achieve an
overview of the process and detect the influence between different
traditions.
5. Journalism Work in Times of Political and Social Change since World War II
More than two decades have passed since the major political change in
1989; many socio-economic events have happened since the fall of the
Berlin Wall and the collapse of the bi-polar world of the Cold War.
Media systems have changed in all post-Soviet countries, including the
transformation of journalistic work, traditions and education.
Transformations of media systems after such a fundamental change have
been described and analyzed not only in post-communist countries, but
also in Germany, Norway, Spain, Portugal, and in other countries and
continents. The focus of this research, however, has usually been on
media and media systems, not on the work, traditions and education of
journalism. The education of journalists has become increasingly
important within the context of the globalizing job markets and
foreign capital investments into national media industries.
Abstracts should be sent to the Section Chair only through the
Conference website, and should be between 300-500 words long. Each
abstract must include title, name(s), affiliation, institutional
address and email address of author(s).
Further information about IAMCR and this conference is available on
the respective websites: http://iamcr.org/ and
http://iamcr2011istanbul.com
+++
The theme of the 2011 conference of the
International Association of Media and
Communication Research is "Cities, Creativity,
Connectivity." The full call for the conference,
which will be in Istanbul from July 7-11, can be
found at http://iamcr2011istanbul.com/.
The Law Section of IAMCR welcomes papers and
panels related to the conference theme, including such topics as:
- the legal context for creativity (eg,
intellectual property rights, government support
for and constraints on innovation and developments, etc.),
- adaptations of communication laws and
regulations for specific types of city
environments (eg, within free trade zones, along
borders, or where violence is rife),
- the uses of laws and regulations to carve out
different types of communicative spaces within
cities (eg, zoning ordinances, laws pertaining to
the use of large screens and other media in public spaces, public art, etc.),
- historical and contemporary effects of the
increasing networking density of cities and
changes in communication law and regulation,
- relationships between place as a medium for
centers of creativity (as in innovation-rich
environments like Silicon Valley) and intellectual property rights,
- differences in legal approaches to
communication infrastructure and other issues in
urban and rural environments, and
- the development of laws and regulations
constraining and enabling speech in cities within
virtual worlds and other online city-like environments.
Other paper and panel proposals pertaining to the
section mission are also welcome. The section is
open to all theoretical and methodological
approaches, and particularly encourages attention
to comparative, international, and global legal
matters as well as research on communication law
at the national and sub-national levels.
