[Commlist] cfp: ICA Pre-conference on Debating Creator Culture

Thu Dec 19 16:55:14 GMT 2024







Reminder: ICA Pre-conference on Debating Creator Culture — Call for Submissions (Jan 31)

This is a reminder about our thrilling ICA25 Preconference, "*Debating Creator Culture*," hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder, College of Media, Communication, and Information, on June 11, 2025. *The submission deadline is January 31, 2025.*

*What’s the debate all about?*
Building on recent research into creators, influencers, and digital labor and visibility, we wish to collectively explore whether “creator studies” constitutes a new subfield, an extension of communication studies, or something else entirely. Revisiting foundational debates around disciplines and field-setting, we ask (borrowing from Baym, 2005): What is the “right term” for this scholarly community and its work? Is it an academic “field” or “discipline”? To what extent does “creator studies” demand a unique scholarly space strengthened by interdisciplinary epistemologies and methods, especially from communication and media studies?

_We particularly welcome papers or panels that explore and debate topics such as:_
*#* Continuities and departures from media and communication history
*#* Studies that bring outside or novel epistemologies, theories, and frameworks into dialogue with existing communication scholarship
*#* New approaches, methods, or questions deemed central to creator studies
*#* Questions about the value of content-related terms, such as “format,” “genre,” and “engagement”
*#* The structural and material conditions of creator industries
*#* The global formations and dynamics of creator industries, particularly in peripheral markets and the Global South, and in response to the conditions posed by platform nationalism
