Cemes Young Scholars (CYS) is a network under Centre for Modern European Studies (CEMES) established in 2008 by the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen. The primary task of Centre for Modern European Studies is to explore the profound transformation of the political, cultural and intellectual contours of Europe that has taken place over the last centuries. CYS is dedicated to developing interdisciplinary contacts between scholars on a national, regional and international scale, within the field of modern European studies. CYS is a network and also a research group with the objective for young scholars to benefit from the interdisciplinary and international exchange of different approaches to the fundamental categories that underpin European studies. CYS invites PhD Scholars and post-doctorals from all universities and faculties to participate in extending the network on an individual level and on the level of networking with other centres and research groups occupied with modern European studies.

CYS will:

• Hold regular seminars with thematic discussions between the participants in the network
• Sponsor and host international seminars, guest lectures and master classes initiated by members of CYS
• Develop an international network of researchers
• Publish working papers on the CEMES-website

Research seminar: The mediatization of intimate experiences

25 & 26 November 2009, 9:30-18:00 & 10.00-16:15

University of Copenhagen, KUA/ Southern Campus, room 27.0.17

The main aim of this seminar is to contribute to the theoretical and empirical exchange and discussion about the interaction between the media and aspects of intimacy. In order to approach this research field we especially invite contributions, which make use of the perspectives of ‘mediatization’ or ‘mediation’ in order to expand the understanding of the ways in which media and intimacy interact and converge. Sexuality and emotional bonding are core characteristics of human nature. However, these characteristics are always historically and culturally structured, and like other cultural institutions they are constitutive of human societies. The interaction between media and intimacy takes on various forms depending on different technologies, genres, and formats like for example mobile phones, social network sites, transformational reality programs, and films. The use of social and personal media like network sites and mobile phones influences the ways in which we search for partners and the way we make emotional bonds. Social and personal media can structure the very performance of intimacy by serving as the space for the actual intimate practices – as for example in user-generated porn and in avatar sex and emotional interaction. Turning to the more traditional mass-media, they influence the understanding and the performance of intimacy, as well as the construction of sexual and emotional identity. The seminar invites quantitative, qualitative, ethnographic, sociological, cognitive and textual approaches to the question of how media contributes to the sense making of sex, emotions, and relationships – and to the question of how the media transform and affects sexual, emotional, and relational interaction.

Everybody is welcome – no submission.

The seminar is arranged by the research group: The Mediatization of Culture. Department of Media, Cognition and Communication, University of Copenhagen
