16-18 April 2020
Second international Media Industries conference, hosted by the
Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London.
Following the success of Media Industries: Current Debates and Future
Directions (2018) we are pleased to announce the next Media Industries
conference will take place in April 2020.
Media Industries 2020 (MI2020) maintains an open intellectual agenda,
inviting papers, panels or workshops exploring the full breadth of media
industries, in contemporary and historical contexts, and from all traditions of
media industries scholarship. MI2020 will therefore provide a meeting ground
for all forms of media industries research.
As a specialized focus, the 2020 conference takes Global Currents and
Contradictions as its coordinating theme. In media industries scholarship,
repeated attention to a few key territories, frequently but not exclusively
located in the Global North, has concentrated but also limited the scope of the
field. In choosing the theme Global Currents and Contradictions, we are
therefore particularly interested in receiving submissions engaging with
industries, contexts and bodies of research that represent, extend or challenge
the geographic reach of the field. To headline this theme, a programme of
keynote speakers will be announced in due course.
Registration
Registration for the conference will go live in mid-November 2019. Fees
will be published then and will be tiered according to the delegate’s country
of residence using the World Bank’s country classifications by Gross National
Income per capita.
Deadline:
Submissions will be accepted up to 23.00hrs British Summer Time (BST) 16
September 2019 (please note: BST is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) + 1 hour)
Submission Categories
Submissions are welcomed in three categories:
- Open Call Papers
Format: solo or co-presented research paper lasting no more than 20mins.
- Pre-constituted Panels
Format: 90mins panel of 3 x 20mins OR 4 x 15mins thematically linked
solo or co-presented research papers followed by questions.
- Pre-constituted Workshops
Format: 90mins interactive forum led by 4 to 6 x 6mins thematically
linked informal presentations. Led by a chair or co-chairs, workshops adopt a
roundtable format bringing together 4 to 6 speakers to offer short (up to 6
minute) position statements or interventions designed to trigger discussions
around a central theme, issue, or problem. As such, the workshop does not
involve the presentation of formal research papers, but rather is designed to
create a forum for the speakers and the audience to engage in a shared
discussion. The workshop format is flexible and can be adapted to allow the
chair or co-chairs to introduce exercises or other activities where
appropriate.
Delegates can make TWO contributions to the conference but only ONE in
any category, i.e. presenting an open call paper and participating in a
workshop will be permitted but presenting two open call papers will not be.
Chairing a panel or organizing a workshop will NOT count as a contribution.
