The deadline for sending in abstract was the 16th of February. However, if you still want to participate with an abstract , contact the chairperson in the Division you whish to participate.
The objective of the conference theme, Body, Soul and Society:
Rethinking Media and Communication Ontologies, is to scrutinize the triadic interplay between Body, Soul and Society in terms of how they have been, and are as of now, understood, implied and implemented in media and communication studies and to what ends. How have Body, Soul and Society been applied as concepts of “realityâ€, and on the other hand how have they (re)produced certain formations of knowledge? How do these concepts, in their broadest sense, produce certain ways of thinking in media and communication studies? How are the thinking around these categories bound up with (inter)disciplinary power-fields in terms of scholarly traditions and paradigms? A number of Nordic scholars will address issues related to the conference theme in plenary sessions throughout the conference.
We encourage the submission of:
a) Paper proposals (150 to 200 words)
b) Panel proposals (four to five paper proposals together with an overall panel theme proposal)
c) Poster proposals (150 to 200 words)
Accepted papers are expected to be uploaded at full length no later than the 15th of July 2009. Ideas for projects, networks, reports et cetera, that will not have the possibility to be developed into full papers, are welcomed to be submitted as poster proposals. A panel means four to five paper proposals grouped together with an overall panel proposal. The length of all proposals should be between 150 to 200 words. Find out about the different modes of participation in the conference here.
Paper, panels and posters will be given within one of the new NordMedia Divisions (se below). We invite you to e-mail your proposal(s) to the chair of one of these divisions.
