*CFP* "THE DARK SIDE OF ORGANIZATIONAL SOCIALIZATION", 3RD INTERNATIONAL AND INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON DISCOURSE AND COMMUNICATION PROFESSIONAL CONTEXTS

The Dark Side of Organizational Socialization

3rd International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Discourse and Communicationin Professional Contexts

11 - 12 November 2021.

Aalborg University, Denmark

 

A main characteristic of late modern societies is the decline of the grand narratives of family, church, government, and nation. The decline of these narratives, as well as the authority of the institutions constituted in and by them, has left an open space, a void if you will. A void that seems to exert an almost gravitational pull on other narratives and other institutions, all of which are eager to occupy the space left open.

*CFP* "COLLABORATIVE KNOWLEDGE PRACTICES AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS: FREE TECHNOLOGIES AND CITIZEN MEDIA TO PRODUCE COMMON GOODS", SPECIAL ISSUE, COMUNICACIÓN Y SOCIEDAD JOURNAL

From spray-on-wall to fanzines and community radio and television (Downing, 2008), social movements have historically appropriated ICTs to disseminate campaigns and contents as a necessary precondition for collective action (Stephansen, 2016). In the last decades, Internet technologies -e.g., mobiles, applications, socio-technical networks, webs, etc.- have been adopted to develop innovative organization and participation formulas, as well as to disseminate information in the network. Together with new decentralized and ubiquitous communication repertoires (Mattoni, 2013), the current "technologization" of collective action has led to transmedia mobilizations (Costanza-Chock, 2013) and hybrid activist practices (Treré, 2019). 
 
These transcend the production of alternative contents to aim at the coproduction of knowledge, its circulation, aggregation, and remix (Lessig, 2012). Thus, Internet must be theoretically approached not just from its symbolic dimension but also as a new physical the infrastructure that offers certain "affordances", in special when social movements use private digital platforms (Cammaerts, 2015) that belong to corporations which are increasingly concentrated and dominated by a few global actors (Birkinbine, Gómez & Wasko, 2016).

*CFP* "SILENCED VOICES", THE MEDIA, COMMUNICATION AND CULTURAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE

6-8 January 2021

The Media, Communication and Cultural Studies Association is pleased to invite the submission of abstracts, panel proposals and practice-based contributions for the MeCCSA 2021 Conference, to be held 6-8 January 2021 at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. The theme of the conference is Silenced Voices.

The theme encourages engagement with a wide range of topics, which we hope will attract researchers interested in minority, excluded, alternative or powerless communities, and their ability to influence public discourses. It offers the opportunity for a wide variety of perspectives: from the historical to the contemporary; from group-centric to macro societal changes; from enablement to suppression; from psychological to technological; from the speakers unable to reach their audience, to audiences unable to find their voice.

*CFP* “HYBRID WARS IN THE AGE OF PLATFORM IMPERIALISM”, 2020 CONFERENCE

Hybrid Wars in the Age of Platform Imperialism
25-26 de Septiembre de 2020

Keynote speakers

Dr. Piers Robinson, Organization for Propaganda Studies (UK)

This conference provides a forum for researchers who seek to analyze, challenge, and rethink the concepts of “platform imperialism” in the age of hybrid warfare.

Basically, we are interested in the exchange of opinions on the following issues:
  • The distribution of global power in terms of the domination over the global platform market by the West (predominantly, the US: e.g., Google, Facebook, Youtube) and control over regional platform markets by China (Baidu, QQ, etc.), Russia (VK, Yandex, etc.), Korea (Cyworld), and so on.

*CFP* RESEARCHING SUBCULTURES AND AESTHETICS POSTGRADUATE SYMPOSIUM: ALTERNATIVE VOICES IN ACADEMIA


Researching Subcultures and Aesthetics Postgraduate Symposium: Alternative Voices in Academia
Date: 10 September 2019

Punk Scholars Network invites proposals for presentations as part of our postgraduate symposium on subcultures and aesthetics at National University of Ireland, Galway. This symposium will explore how subcultures connect to aesthetics and create what Pierre Bourdieu calls the space of possibles, a space for radical politics to be formed through the means of artistic productions. From do-it-yourself methods of street art to the shock-effect of Dadaist and punk attitudes in different time-places, the close relationship between subcultures and aesthetics continues to reflect the turbulences of our political atmosphere. From music and literature to cinema and other art forms, this symposium will offer a platform for postgraduate students who wish to share their research, explore critical approaches and analyse the complexities of the relationship between subcultures and aesthetics.

This is also a great opportunity for those of you who would like to bring academic research and subcultural environments together, share the potential contradictions that may arise from this togetherness and explore alternative research methods. Representatives of the Punk Scholars Network have kindly agreed to attend the symposium as panel discussants.

*CFP* "INFANTILE CRISIS: YOUTH IN CONTEMPORARY SOUTH ASIAN FILM AND MEDIA", SPECIAL ISSUE, STUDIES IN SOUTH ASIAN FILM & MEDIA JOURNAL


Studies in South Asian Film & Media is a double-blind peer-reviewed publication committed to looking at the media and cinemas of the Indian subcontinent in their social, political, economic, historical, and increasingly globalized and diasporic contexts. The journal will evaluate these topics in relation to class, caste, gender, race, sexuality and ideology.

In his 1913 essay on 'Experience', Walter Benjamin refers to youthfulness as a 'brief night' of 'rapture' followed by the 'long drudgery of grand experience', made up of 'years of compromise, impoverishment of ideas, and lack of energy'. Within a neoliberal framework, one could see the 'brief night' stretching to encompass longer agespans: 'the forties are the new twenties’. Youthfulness is often equated with a hedonistic hyper-consumption, which smacks of desperation and a sense of impending lack. A capacity for consumption might, after all, be the only remedy against ageing that capitalism has to offer. Yet we hear just as much these days about premature exhaustion resulting from the velocity and precarity associated with capital’s drive for a 'surfeit of accumulation'.
