[ecrea] CfP 9th Conference on Baltic Studies in Europe, Södertörn University, Huddinge, Stockholm

Mon Jan 10 12:43:56 GMT 2011


Section: Media, Communication and Technology
9th Conference on Baltic Studies in Europe, Södertörn University, Huddinge, Stockholm,
12-15 June 2011

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 <mailto:%(20anne.kaun /at/ sh.se)>Anne 
Kaun no later than 1 February 2011.


The conference is hosted by the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies at Södertörn University, Stockholm, Sweden.
