[Commlist] Call for papers: Conference on methods in cultural production and media industries research

  Call for papers: Conference on methods in cultural production and
  media industries research

We invite you to submit an abstract for our upcoming conference, taking 
place online on *12 October 2023*. Deadline for applications is *2 June 
2023*. More info: https://ecrea.eu/event-5219347

This one-day conference seeks to explore the methods we use and 
approaches we take for understanding media and cultural production in 
the contemporary moment. The field of media production research has been 
growing rapidly over the last decades, as more and more researchers see 
the gains from studying the ‘backends’ of the media and cultural 
industries. At the same time, new challenges arise due to rapid shifts 
in the media and cultural industries, as well as forms and practices of 
media and cultural production and distribution. A sectoral shift in the 
media and cultural industries has introduced new actors, as well as new 
questions, theoretical impulses, empirical objects, and research tools 
and practices.

This conference explores many of the contemporary challenges to 
understanding the nature of media and cultural production by focusing on 
the research process, rather than the research findings. In doing so, we 
hope to encourage researchers to push the boundaries of production 
research, share useful research designs, as well as challenging moments 
and failed experiments, that we can still learn from.

We also have two excellent *keynote addresses*

/Epistemic crossroads – towards digital communication system analysis?/

Signe Sophus Lai & Sofie Flensburg, University of Copenhagen

/Analysing Cultural Platforms: Interfaces, Infrastructures, Recommender 
Systems. /

David Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds

We invite scholars to present short papers or provocations on methods 
and methodology in the field of media and cultural production research. 
The presentations can reflect on one’s own research designs and 
methodologies, as well as on broader issues such as developing novel 
methods and approaches in the field, or conceptual and theoretical 
discussions on the practice of studying media and cultural production in 
recent years.

*To apply*

Submit a *150-300-word abstract* (excluding references) and a 100-word
