*CFP* OPEN-THEME DOSSIER FOR EARLY-CAREER RESEARCHERS, THE ALPHAVILLE JOURNAL OF FILM AND SCREEN MEDIA

YECREA, the Young Scholars Network of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA), represents early-career scholars including doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. The Film Studies Section of YECREA aims to give a voice and platform to emerging scholars within the field by collaborating with Alphaville on a curated dossier. 

 

This is an “open-theme” dossier specifically designed for early-career researchers to provide publication opportunities and to portray a snapshot of new research and trends in film studies. To uncover the most contemporary and upcoming thinking, theory and practice, YECREA and Alphaville invite article proposals from doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in Film Studies which deal with cinema from a broad variety of perspectives – film as cultural artefact and commercial product, as embodied and social experience, as a symbolic field of cultural production, and as a mediating technology. 

 

We are particularly interested in work that displays a clear engagement with emerging concerns in the field or that advances novel perspectives on existing debates.

*CFP* "JOURNALISM STUDIES MEETS PRACTICE", ECREA JOURNALISM STUDIES SECTION CONFERENCE

ECREA Journalism Studies Section Conference. Research Group Quality Journalism in Digital Transition

Journalism studies meets practice

25th-26th, February 2021

Utrecht, The Netherlands

The 2021 Section Conference of the Journalism Studies Section of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) will take place in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on February 25-26, 2021.

We welcome submissions focusing on journalism in digital transition. We especially welcome proposals for co-creative sessions – co-creation understood as collaboration between researchers and practitioners. We also want to make the regular sessions more collaborative by introducing active respondents. They will contact the participants before the session. The process of digitalization has challenged professional journalism in every way, not only in its organization but also in the way its products are made, sold, and consumed.

*CFP* "LA INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE COMUNICACIÓN EN Y DESDE EUROPA", MONOGRÁFICO 2021, REVISTA MEDITERRÁNEA DE COMUNICACIÓN

Monográfico: La investigación sobre Comunicación en y desde Europa coordinado por el Dr. Miguel Vicente-Mariño (Universidad de Valladolid, España) y el Dr. Ilija Tomanič Trivundža (Universidad de Ljubljana, Slovenia) será publicado en enero 2021 (V12N1). Fecha tope de envíos: 1 de septiembre de 2020.

La investigación sobre Comunicación en y desde Europa

Europa es uno de los dos actores culturales y áreas geopolíticas clave para comprender la evolución histórica y el estado actual del conocimiento científico en las Ciencias Sociales. La investigación en materia de Comunicación es un campo y/o disciplina científica que ha experimentado una innegable expansión desde los 90, basando parte de su crecimiento en obras surgidas en el Viejo Continente, donde grandes cambios -que van desde el colapso de la división geopolítica Este-Oeste hasta los esfuerzos institucionales para construir una Unión Europea fuerte- respaldan el rápido crecimiento y consolidación de una Comunidad Europea de estudiosos de la investigación en materia de Comunicación.

*CFP* "VISUAL WORK IN PROGRESS", ECREA VISUAL CULTURES SECTION PRE-CONFERENCE

ECREA Visual Cultures Section Pre-Conference

2 October 2020

Braga, Portugal

Interest in visual forms of communication is rising, but researchers seldom get insight on how to go about one's research. During the pre-conference 'Visual Work in Progress' we will explicitly focus on ways of working with visual materials, thinking together about the pros and cons of various methodological alternatives.

The pre-conference will focus on our “visual work in progress”, mainly the conceptualization of and methodological approach to visual data in ongoing research projects. We encourage participants to share some part of their research visual material, so that we can discuss together our 'visual work in progress'.

The workshop will be organised as ‘data sprint’. Data Sprints are inspired by hackathons organised by the open source community, and are workshops in which participants from diverse backgrounds meet physically and collaborate intensively on a pre-determined subject and dataset.

*CFP* CALL FOR CHAPTERS, WAVE 17, THE ROUTLEDGE STUDIES IN EUROPEAN COMMUNICATION RESEARCH AND EDUCATION SERIES

The Book Series aims to provide a diverse overview of the work of ECREA members and working groups, showcasing diversity of topics and areas within the field of contemporary media and communication research, and addressing this diversity from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, and promoting collaborative research of our members, either within or between ECREA Sections, Networks and Temporary Working Groups (S/N/TWGs).

WHAT are we seeking?

ECREA Book Series Publications need to have a clear theme or focus. Authors are strongly advised to outline the focus of the book and its framework in the abstract of the introductory chapter (see our submission form). The structure of the book (division of sections and chapters) should be in line with the proposed framework. Although the series is open to a wide diversity of disciplines and subjects, editors will consider the potential audience of a proposed book and previous publications on the topic within the Book Series.

*CFP* “JEOPARDIZING DEMOCRACY THROUGHOUT HISTORY: MEDIA AS ACCOMPLICE, ADVERSARY OR AMPLIFIER OF POPULIST AND RADICAL POLITICS”, ECREA COMMUNICATION HISTORY SECTION WORKSHOP

Jeopardizing Democracy throughout History: Media as Accomplice, Adversary or Amplifier of Populist and Radical Politics

ECREA Communication History Section Workshop

Vienna, 11-13 September 2019

Austrian Academy of Sciences

Populism appears to be on the rise for several years now and extreme ideologies as well as radical politics strive for power in many European democracies and around the globe. Public debate and political pundits suggest that there is a link between the proliferation of radical politics, trenches of polarization between political camps and across societies on the one side and contemporary media environments on the other. The emphasis on allegedly new phenomena such as fake news, echo chambers, hate speech or digital platforms as drivers of political polarization and as vessels of agitation, often neglects that mediated communication has always played a vital role in both safeguarding democracy as well as putting it in jeopardy.

*CFP* “DIASPORA, MEDIA AND MIGRATION”, YOUNG SCHOLARS WORKSHOP, ECREA

Diaspora, Media and Migration

Migration & the Media young scholars’ workshop 

European Communication Research & Education Association’s (ECREA)

29 October

Vrije Universiteit Brussel

This year’s DMM young scholars’ workshop welcomes acclaimed scholars Prof. dr. Myria Georgiou (London School of Economics and Political Science) and Dr. Donya Alinejad (Utrecht University) at Vrije Universiteit Brussel as part of the Digital Fortress Europe Conference.

We all know that it is a difficult task to identify, validate and present our main findings and contribution of our research projects as young scholars in the field. Considering the interdisciplinary nature of our field as well as the continuously changing landscape of media and communication technologies, it is crucial for us young researchers to situate our doctoral projects within academic literature and research. This is the reason why this year’s young scholar workshop aims to help ten doctoral researchers who work on the intersections of diaspora, media and migration to find their own voice and make sure that it is heard.
