[Commlist] CfP Conference in Rome: "What People Leave Behind: Marks, Traces, Footprints and their Significance for Social Sciences"

What People Leave Behind: Marks, Traces, Footprints and their 
Significance for Social Sciences
June 15-16, 2020
Rome (Italy)

Deadline: February 15, 2020

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the two-day International 
Conference “What People Leave Behind: Marks, Traces, Footprints and 
their Significance for Social Sciences” that will be hosted by the 
Department of Communication and Social Research and the Ph.D. Program in 
Communication, Social Research and Marketing – Sapienza University of 
Rome on June 15-16, 2020.
The conference focuses on a significant theme in the social sciences: 
the concepts of “footprint” and “trace”. Usually associated with the 
digital world, the very idea of footprints clearly gives the image of 
what one leaves behind without being aware of it. Trace-like 
information, i.e. information that was not meant to be informative, is 
much sought after, and this is particularly true in the age of digital 
capitalism.

Keynote speakers: Gabriel Abend (University of Lucerne), Taina Bucher 
(University of Oslo), Jeffrey Guhin (UCLA), Hizky Shoham (Bar-Ilan 
University), Barry Wellman (University of Toronto), Beverly Wellman 
(University of Toronto).

Partners of the Conference:  Italian Association of Sociology; 
Sociology, Culture, Communication – Italian Scientific Society; Italian 
Association of Semiotic Studies; ESARN20 Qualitative methods; ESARN21 
Quantitative methods.
