*CALL FOR ABSTRACTS*

for the international symposium

Building the Frame(work). Discussing Methodological Challenges of Applying Content Analysis in Visual Framing Research

October 11^th -12^th , 2013

Hamburg, Germany

The Hans-Bredow-Institute for Media Research at the University of Hamburg will be hosting an international symposium on the content-analytical challenges of visual framing research on October 11^th -12^th , 2013. The event will consist of keynote speeches and presentations highlighting particular methodological challenges in content-analytical visual framing research on the first day as well as of more open, but goal-oriented methodological workshops on the second day. The symposium aims to systemize existing approaches of analysis, to highlight definitional and methodological similarities and discrepancies, and to clarify key terms. We are happy to announce that three of the most outstanding scholars in the field of visual framing research have confirmed their participation as keynote speakers:

   * Shahira Fahmy <http://journalism.arizona.edu/fahmy> (University of
     Arizona, Tucson, AZ)
   * Katy Parry <http://ics.leeds.ac.uk/people/katy-parry/> (University
     of Leeds, UK)
   * Michael Griffin
     <http://www.macalester.edu/academics/mcs/facultystaff/michaelgriffin/>
     (Macalester College, Saint Paul, MN)

The scope of the event is international and we encourage participants from different countries to attend, present and participate. Particularly young scholars are welcome to submit their work. We especially invite research on the following areas of interest which are often highlighted as providing particular methodological challenges:

   * visual framing within photographs (e.g. within press or news
     agency photographs)
   * visual framing within multimodal contexts (e.g. within photographs
     accompanied by captions and/or news texts in newspaper articles or
     within multimodal websites)
   * visual framing within audiovisual material (e.g. within television
     news)

Researchers who would like to participate in the symposium are asked to submit an extended abstract (2-3 pages) that strongly focuses on the methodological aspects of their research.

Extended abstracts should be send to (m.grimm /at/ hans-bredow-institut.de) and (eva.boller /at/ wiso.uni-hamburg.de) by *September 1^st , 2013*. Decisions will be made shortly thereafter.

For further information on the event and on the call for abstracts, please visit www.visualframing.org. <http://www.visualframing.org.> In case you have any questions, we will be glad to help.

All the best from Hamburg
Michael Grimm and Eva Boller
