[ecrea] CFP - Rethinking Youth Cultures In The Age Of Global Media, final conference

> Announcement and Call For Papers Rethinking 
> Youth Cultures In The Age Of Global Media 
> Conference: Friday 17th June 2011, Institute Of 
> Education, London Young people now have 
> significantly greater access to globalised media 
> and to technologies that can form and sustain 
> transnational connections; many have also 
> experienced global migration, and live in 
> communities in which a wide range of global 
> cultures mix and cross-fertilise. Media 
> companies for their part are constructing and 
> targeting global markets in which definitions of 
> â??ageâ?? are stretched and/or inconsistent, 
> whilst in general the role of media and 
> consumption in contemporary culture has 
> undergone significant shifts. Such developments 
> have posed a challenge to some of the 
> theoretical and methodological assumptions of 
> earlier research on youth cultures. This 
> conference, the final event in an ESRC-funded 
> seminar series exploring these issues, will 
> consider current and future directions for youth 
> cultures research in the context of media 
> globalisation. Keynote speakers include: Ritty 
> Lukose (New York University, author of 
> â??Liberalisationâ??s Children: Gender, Youth 
> and Consumer Citizenship in Globalizing 
> Indiaâ??) on â??The Space-Time of Youth: 
> Globalization and Generationâ?? and Mary Celeste 
> Kearney (University of Texas, author of â??Girls 
> Make Mediaâ??) on â??Rethinking Our Frames: 
> Contexualizing Girls' Media Productionâ??. In 
> addition, the day will feature parallel panel 
> presentations by some of those involved in the 
> seminar series and conclude with a roundtable 
> reflecting on the themes of the conference and 
> the series, with Anoop Nayak, Christine Griffin, 
> Hilary Pilkington, Rupa Huq and others. We have 
> a limited number of slots for additional papers 
> and panels on relevant topics such as: youth and 
> new media; theories of youth culture; youth as 
> consumers; migration, transnationalism and 
> diaspora; identities, differences and 
> inequalities; youth as media producers and 
> participants; and methods in youth research.  If 
> you would like to propose a paper or a themed 
> panel, please send a title plus a 200-word
