[Commlist] PhD-Workshop: "Media Geographies and Geomedia – Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives on Media, Space and Locality

***********************
CfP: Media Geographies and Geomedia – Theoretical and Empirical 
Perspectives on Media, Space and Locality
Geomedia 2023 Pre-Conference Workshop for PhD/Doctoral Students
Tampere University
September 19-20, 2023
The workshop will take place in the morning of the 20th before the 
official start of the Geomedia 2023 conference in Tampere, Finland: 
https://events.tuni.fi/geomedia2023/
There will be a get-together the evening before.
The workshop is organised by Helena Atteneder (Tübingen) and Pablo Abend 
(Halle) in cooperation with the German Media Geographies Working Group 
(https://gfmedienwissenschaft.de/ag-mediengeographien) and the 
interdisciplinary Center for Geomedia Studies (Karlstad: 
https://www.kau.se/en/geomedia).

As the "in-between" or "in the middle," media are directly connected to 
the question of space and spatial order(s). This connection is already 
expressed in classical topoi of media studies such as the "global 
village" or the "disappearance of space". In the course of the so-called 
spatial turn (in the cultural and social sciences) or a media or 
communicational turn (in geography) or in the linking of "locative 
media" and "mediatied localities” as well as a "spatialisation of media" 
and "mediatization of place" an interdisciplinary bridge between human, 
social and cultural geography and media and communication studies has 
gradually been defined. Under the immediate impression of the ubiquitous 
availability of location-based technologies and locative media, the 
question of the fundamental connection between media technology, media 
use and spatial production was updated and recalled. Media, in this 
sense, can be described as ubiquitous mediating instances between 
spaces, places, people and things, which change spatial organisation, 
perception and appropriation and alter practices of placemaking. The 
workshop aims to bring together interdisciplinary approaches that 
examine contemporary and historical relations of media and spaces in 
both pre- and post-digital contexts. We explicitly welcome approaches 
that complement the classical methodological repertoire in media studies 
and geography with context-specific, situational and mobile methods.
The workshop is aimed at PhD students researching in the field of media 
and geography. We will have short presentations on the respective 
research topics (approx. 20 min.) followed by a joint discussion. The 
Workshop is open for PhD/Doctoral students at all stages of their 
research project and from various disciplines such as media studies, 
human and cultural geography, media anthropology, art and design studies 
etc.

Anyone who would like to participate please write an email by April 15 
2023 to Helena Atteneder ((helena.atteneder /at/ uni-tuebingen.de)) and Pablo 
Abend ((abend /at/ burg-halle.de)) with a short abstract (approximately 250-300 
words) and a short biographical note.
