/Course Description: /
A paradigm shift in media policy in the 1980s signified a move away from
the post WWII public service media policy towards a new communications
policy paradigm (van Cuilenburg & McQuail, 2003). Media policy research
has also expanded into new territory (Just & Puppis, 2012). This year's
course will explore contemporary issues in media policy and governance
focusing on freedom of communication, access, control/accountability and
public service media in European media systems in a comparative perspective.
As part of this year's course, the scientific conference *Agents of
power in the transformation of media systems *will take place on
Thursday and Friday (27 and 28 April, 2017), and will include attendance
by the course participants. Speakers include Slavko Splichal, Paolo
Mancini, Kaarle Nordestreng, Hannu Nieminen, Tarik Jusić, Snježana
Milivojević, Zrinjka Peruško, Andrei Richter.
The conference will be focused on significant changes in media
landscapes in the period after the fall of communism due to
globalization, media digitalization, financial crisis and the lack of
alternatives (as once conceptualized in the idea of NWICO), experienced
not only by the former communist countries but also all other countries.
However, these processes usually remain completely 'impersonal' in
scholarly literature and research: instead of actors, we only have
processes. When J.K. Galbraith once wrote of the role of the 'market
forces'—the concept that replaced the 'outdated' concepts of
'capitalism' and 'capitalists'— he suggested that, "It would be hard to
think of a change in terminology more in the interest of those to whom
money accords power. They have now a functional anonymity."
Indeed, it is crucially important to focus on the dominant social actors
in and behind the long-term processes, who otherwise may remain
'functionally anonymous'. Instead of focusing on the role of the media
within the economic, social, political and cultural systems of
societies, we would like to examine the role of economic, social,
political and cultural actors (such as media owners, corporate economic
clients and advertisers, interest groups, content creators and
journalists, audiences, citizens, civic movements, political parties,
legislative bodies, constitutional court and judicial bodies, specific
policy makers and regulatory bodies) in generating changes in media
systems, particularly in the news media and journalism.
The aim of the conference *Agents of power in the transformation of
media systems *is to focus on the key local, national and transnational
actors who influenced the changes in media systems during the past 25
years. The newly established nation states that once were constitutive
parts (republics) of former Yugoslavia may be used for a 'thought
experiment' or exemplification to demonstrate how once a rather uniform
media system (at least in terms of legal regulation) developed in
different directions not only because of different 'objective' (e.g.
economic) conditions but also or primarily because of different
'subjective forces' in action. Yet the same approach focused on the main
power agents may also help explaining changes in media systems in the
countries that did not experience the kind of (political) turmoil taking
place in the former communist countries.
The aim of the *postgraduate course* is to gather doctoral students from
media and communication or political/ juridical sciences occupied with
media policy and regulation that want to discuss their current work with
established and emerging scholars and get relevant feedback.
/Course Organization:/
This sixth "slow science" IUC-CMS is an interdisciplinary research
conference & post-graduate course open to doctoral and post-doctoral
students in media, communication and related fields. Each year the topic
of the course will focus on one or a combination of areas that define
media systems from a comparative perspective. A complementary
methodological workshop will introduce selected qualitative and
quantitative research methods.
Invited lecturers will deliver keynote lectures with ample discussion
opportunities. Course attendees will have extended opportunity to
present and discuss their current own works with the course directors
and other participants in seminar form (English language) and in further
informal meetings around the beautiful old-town of Dubrovnik (UNESCO
World Heritage) over 5 full working days (Monday-Friday). The working
language is English. All participants will receive a Certificate of
Attendance.
/Venue Information:/
The Inter-University Centre was founded in Dubrovnik in 1972 as an
independent, autonomous academic institution with the aim of promoting
international co-operation between academic institutions throughout the
world. Courses are held in all scientific disciplines around the year,
with participation of member and affiliated universities.
