Due to the European integration process it is urgent to understand how perceptions of culture and citizenship is about to take shape and how citizenship can be comprehended from different perspectives in relation to the complex European context.

At the seminar scholars from a variety of disciplines will introduce their research on how European citizens conceive of them-selves and how they act to strengthen democratic culture in its various forms. Besides this empirical-descriptive aim the scholars will also provide normative insights regarding the different ways to conceive citizenship in a European context.

NordMedia09     BODY, SOUL AND SOCIETY
Rethinking Media and Communication Ontologies

13th – 15th of August 2009
Karlstad, Sweden
www.nordmedia09.se

Call for papers, research panels and posters

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 “reality”, 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)
