[ecrea] Cfp: Mediatization in a global perspective

*Call for papers: "*Mediatization in a global perspective: Comparing 
theoretical approaches in a digitised world"

*Place:* Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Lisbon, Portugal

*Date:* 6-7 October 2017

The ongoing process of mediatization is increasingly fuelled by the 
datafication of everyday life, the globalization of media systems, and 
the digitalization of social institutions and practices. This includes 
the digitization of old, and the upcoming of new digital media and 
platforms. The changes in media production, distribution and 
consumption, which resulted from digitization, have restructured various 
social, cultural, economic and organizational boundaries. Previously 
separated media sectors, often based in national contexts, are now 
interlinked; institutional and cultural boundaries have been shifting in 
interrelation with media-communicative changes; and also public-private 
boundaries are constantly being challenged.

The global nature of these ongoing processes also calls for comparative 
studies between different countries and regions as well as international 
theoretical development. Latin American and European perspectives on 
mediatization have evolved from different theoretical traditions and 
empirical realities; this workshop will also encourage a dialogue 
between Latin American and European researchers regarding both empirical 
and theoretical work.

This conference encourages submissions related to these changing 
boundaries, and includes, but is not restricted to, the following themes:

- boundaries between traditions of mediatization theory

- data retention and public/private boundaries

- digital platforms and cultural boundaries

- changes in cultural flows

- data and business: global perspectives

- relations between Latin American and European perspectives on 
mediatization theory

- changes in institutional cultures

- methodological challenges and benefits of datafication/digitization

- mediatization between disruption and gradual transformation

- digital media and changing boundaries between work and leisure, 
between professional and personal communication

- avoidance of and resistance against media- and data-related change

- digitization and further time-space distanciation or reconfirmation of 
boundaries and retreat into the local
