Global Fusion 2013
Mediations: Movements and Markets
4-6 October 2013
A Global Media and Communication Conference Global Media Research Center College of Mass Communications and Media Arts Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois
This year's theme for the Global Fusion conference is Mediations: Movements and Markets. Expanding the concept of global media to global mediation, we wish to highlight the processes through which media are integral to a world in which people "do things with media" that constitute action in the public sphere as well as in the private sphere. We recognize that the often blurred boundaries between interpersonal and mediated communication are fostered in the contemporary age of convergence, of the manufacturing or fracturing of markets, and in the wake of large scale protests that have emerged in the Middle East and with the Occupy movement. These and other events have relied heavily on interpersonal networks and new information technologies. The notion of mediation also recognizes that media, especially small scale, local media, play more than an information transmission role but also perform important relational work by building communities and often emphasizing process over product. Thus, mediation includes attention not only to the production and consumption of media, but also to the ways in which media are used to shape our daily lives and the ways in which we use media to resist that shaping.
We invite submissions of abstracts, finished papers, proposals for panels or workshops, and media artworks that reflect any of the many traditions of scholarship, art practices, and documentary work in the media arts, mass communication, journalism, communication studies, and related fields. Although works addressing the 2013 theme are preferred, we also welcome submissions in any theoretical, methodological, or expressive traditional on all topics related to global media and international communication. Two awards will be presented to graduate students: one for the best paper and one for the best media work.
