[Commlist] CFP International Conference Migrations and communication in a planetary age: Debates and actions

MIGRATIONS AND COMMUNICATION IN A PLANETARY AGE: DEBATES AND ACTIONS
International Conference
University of Minho
April 29-30, 2025

Call for papers (deadline November 30, 2024)

Until November 30, 2024, the MigraMediaActs project is accepting 
submissions for the "Migrations and communication in a planetary age: 
debates and actions" conference it is organising between April 29 and 
30, 2025, at the University of Minho in Braga. Proposals will be 
peer-reviewed, and the evaluation results will be sent by January 20. 
Abstracts should be submitted using the form available on the project's 
website. To value the linguistic diversity and the diversity of forms of 
communication, proposals (for oral communications, panels and artistic 
interventions) can be submitted in Portuguese, English, Spanish or 
French. Still, the sessions will not have simultaneous translation. The 
conference will have face-to-face and online sessions.

Based on inter-and transdisciplinary approaches, fostering dialogue 
between different areas of knowledge and other types of expertise, the 
main objective of this conference is to debate how communication, 
culture and migration studies can challenge existing notions of 
diaspora, identities, cultures, nation, family, literacy, digital 
networks, youth, body, gender, among others, and contribute to building 
fairer and more inclusive futures. The aim is to discuss the multiple 
dimensions of communication, art and social activism in order to 
understand their role in (re)configuring relational spaces and poetics 
and in promoting attentive listening. In a fragmented planetary context 
marked by daily "crises", this conference proposes to question, rethink 
and rebuild community paths through communication.

We welcome contributions on the following topics and other issues in the 
field of communication and migration:
* Migration, decolonisation of knowledge and science communication
* Intercultural communication and the media
* Mnemonic activism, arts and media
* Media culture, racialisation processes and intersectionalities
* Media productions and artistic practices of migrant and racialised people
* Migrations, media and action research
* Migration, media activism and social change
* Experiences of (im)mobility and their mediation
* Migration and ecotransition
* Transnational comparisons of media practices in the communication of 
migration
* Media representations of migration
* Mediated experiences of family migration
* Digital technologies and the governance of migration and borders
* Challenges and innovations in methodologies for communication and 
migration studies
* Others, not named but related to the theme
