<span lang="en-GB">During the “business
section meeting” in Istanbul we elected the new management team.
Elisenda Ardevol was re-elected as Chair and Gemma San Cornelio and
Veronica Barassi were elected as Vice-Chairs. Following our </span><span lang="en-GB"><i>modus
operandi</i></span><span lang="en-GB">, we elected two delegates to
assume new roles for the section: Aristea Fotopoulus was elected for
Yecrea representative and Christopher </span><span lang="en-GB">Raetzsch
for webmaster and publications. </span>

<span lang="en-GB">In Istanbul there
were some proposals for organizing the next workshop of the section. The new management team is working out the topic and the main ideas for the call for papers, taking into account the future of the event in Bonn University, Germany. We are open to suggestions to develop these ideas thereafter. </span></div>

<span lang="en-GB">The DCC section seeks to increase its relationship with other sections while
maintaining its specificity. Digital culture is more and more
present in other sections since digital communication technologies
have been pervasively introduced in almost every ‘traditional’
media transforming practices of production, circulation and audience
reception. Thus, one of the aims of the DCC section is to strength
its relation with other sections and at the same time, to promote
critical theoretical frameworks and research methodologies in the
field of Digital Culture and Communication, as well as a reflective
understanding of the role of digital media in education and teaching
media studies.</span></div>

This is to inform that we have had a great success in our call for papers. A lot of abstracts have been presented at our section and that the reviewers process is finished although it had been very hard. From 157 abstracts submitted, we can afford to accept at last the 57% of them due to the limitations of slots -and although the organization gave us the maximum of slots that was available. Please, if you are coming to Istanbul, send your confirmation, and if not coming, let the organization know it as soon as possible, so we can allocate abstracts from the waiting list.

Proposals for panels and for individual papers and posters are encouraged but not restricted with this theme. </span><br /><i><br />Digital Culture and Communication</i> call for papers:<br /><br />The Digital Culture and Communication section aims at exchanging and developing research at the European level in the developing field of digital media and informational culture as this is broadly defined. We welcome work that crosses disciplines and that operates at the boundaries of what might generally be allowed to constitute media/communication systems. The section actively seeks both empirical and theoretical/critical work. It therefore welcomes work that questions the general specificity of 'the digital' and/or uses 'the digital' to rethink existing media and communication theories and approaches (as well as research methods).<br /><br />The paper proposals have to be send via ecrea conference general website:<br /><br />http://www.ecrea2012istanbul.eu/Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-36557464312035695052011-12-16T07:23:00.000-08:002011-12-16T07:25:39.676-08:00after-workshop insights<div class="posttitle"> <h2 class="pagetitle">Four categories of collaborative documentary</h2></div><span style="text-decoration: underline;">by Mandy Rose</span> posted on COLLAB DOCS <small> November 30, 2011</small><p>I’ve just been in Barcelona, at the <a href="http://digitalcultureandcommunication.blogspot.com/">ECREA (European Communication Research & Education Association) Digital Culture Workshop </a>which looked at innovative practices and critical theories. It was a terrific gathering – small enough to get to know people, focussed enough to be productive – a great mix of conviviality and critical dialogue. (Thanks to the convenors, Caroline Basset and Elisenda Ardevol.)</p> <p>I presented in the Creative Practices strand which was concerned with, “concepts of participation, co-creativity, co-design or co-innovation in creative processes involving audiences and independent creators in a wide spectrum of activities including art, photography, video, and videogames.” My paper offered a draft categorisation of the projects I write about here, according to the type of contribution made by the participants. I’ll give a brief summary of the four categories.</p> <p>In “The Creative Crowd” model which covers work including <a href="http://wp.me/pyYjF-52">Mad V’s The Message</a>, and perry bard’s <a href="http://dziga.perrybard.net/">Man with a Movie Camera; the Global Remix</a>, multiple participants contribute fragments to a highly templated whole, analogous to the separate panels within a quilt. The units of content may not make much sense on their own but value and meaning accrue as they come together producing a distinctive aesthetic that’s about energy and repetition. (Though not a documentary, <a href="http://www.thejohnnycashproject.com/">The Johnny Cash Project </a>is a prime example of this mode.)</p><p>(more at:<a href="http://collabdocs.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/four-categories-of-collaborative-documentary/"> COLLAB DOCS</a>)<br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-29821478584270019002011-11-29T04:19:00.000-08:002011-12-02T13:46:18.966-08:00Thanks to all the participants of the dccecreabcn workshop!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0kBPCy6Fzg7tN9RUBuX6ehCgWldD-_dWcI3VWFw5jxQPB69PHfLLbO6EhpPkUkzs6bYFY8q4jGTVrtoqpvYzxrMTOjmVyLPtcDzEEoxEsB7KzhyphenhyphenAf6o-hv_cEbtSalealzC0q/s1600/ecreabcn4.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 432px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0kBPCy6Fzg7tN9RUBuX6ehCgWldD-_dWcI3VWFw5jxQPB69PHfLLbO6EhpPkUkzs6bYFY8q4jGTVrtoqpvYzxrMTOjmVyLPtcDzEEoxEsB7KzhyphenhyphenAf6o-hv_cEbtSalealzC0q/s320/ecreabcn4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680406049036573330" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-54988514089871428482011-11-22T03:29:00.000-08:002011-11-22T03:30:02.759-08:00A Sensory Approach to Digital Media<p>Digital Culture: Innovative practices and critical theories.<br />ECREA Digital Culture & Communication 3rd workshop<br />Barcelona, Spain, November 24-25</p> <p>Abstract plenary session<br />Sarah Pink, Loughborough University</p> <p>In recent years there has been a ‘sensory turn’ in scholarship across the social sciences and humanities. This focus on the senses has had some influence in media and communication studies and visual studies. However, the existing literature in this area remains emergent rather than proposing a wider re-thinking, and the ways the senses are understood in these fields have sometimes been rooted in approaches that focus on culture and representation. In this lecture I examine the consequences of engaging such theoretical and methodological tools for thinking about media and the senses. In doing I so argue that we need to go beyond representational approaches that simply add other senses to the audio-visuality of media, or engage with the senses as a series of separate faculties. Instead I suggest how a strand in scholarship that attends to anthropology, philosophy, and the neurosciences might offer alternative routes to understanding how digital media become implicated as part of our practical activity in perceptual and material environments.</p> <p>co-organised by the<br />ECREA Digital Culture & Communication (DCC) section,<br />Humanities Department and Information and Communication Sciences Department, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya,<br />with support from the<br />Centre for Material Digital Culture (DMDC),<br />University of Sussex, UK</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-42788293063075551342011-11-18T14:48:00.000-08:002011-11-18T15:22:13.618-08:00Digital Culture: Precarity, (self)exploitation and unspeakable inequalities in the cultural and creative industries<p>Digital Culture: Innovative practices and critical theories.<br />ECREA Digital Culture & Communication 3rd workshop<br />Barcelona, Spain, November 24-25</p><p>Abstract keynote speaker Rosalind Gill, King’s college, London</p> This talk has three aims. Firstly, it will review “what we know” about the features of cultural and creative work, discussing issues such as precariousness, bulimic patterns of working, and the intensification and extensification of work over time and space . It will consider how these now ‘well-established’ ‘facts’ about creative work may be being challenged by co-creation. Is this the ‘ultimate’ in exploitation of ‘free labour’ or a harbinger of a different set of participatory ethical practices in the cultural sphere, a democratization of who gets to ‘make culture’?<br />Secondly, it will explore the notion of “self exploitation” that has emerged as a key term for theorizing the labouring conditions and subjectivities of workers involved in the cultural and creative industries. Whilst this originated as a critical term from a Foucaultian tradition concerned with theorizing new modalities of power and discipline, its usefulness both as an analytical and political tool will be interrogated. Has it become another neoliberal term of abuse–blaming workers for their own exploitation and rendering invisible the structural conditions in which work is carried out? Why has the word exploitation only become speakable when it prefixed by the notion that we are somehow doing it to ourselves? What would it take for us to start talking about exploitation again? Do we need a new vocabulary to think about labour – especially in the context of co-creation? And what kind of resistance is possible without recourse to this vocabulary?<br />Finally, the talk will raise questions about what still remains a largely silenced issue in debates about the conditions of cultural workers–inequalities between workers. I will develop from the notion of “unmanageable inequalities” to explore how gender, race and class inequalities have become not simply unmanageable but unspeakable in cultural work–even by those most adversely affected by them. How do we begin to challenge the toxic myths of egalitarianism and meritocracy that circulate in the cultural and creative industries–and in much writing about them? And how can we make sure that questions about inequality are on the agenda of a politics that seeks to challenge and resist contemporary labouring conditions – whether this is the labour of freelancers of employees or of hobbyists who give their time ‘freely’.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-3703392562458293742011-10-19T11:00:00.000-07:002011-11-04T07:59:42.905-07:00Full Abstracts and Programme ECREA DCC WorkshopGetting ready for the workshop!<br /><br />Please, you can find the programme and abstracts for the workshop at:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.uoc.edu/symposia/workshop_ecrea2011/programa_eng.html">PROGRAME AND FULL ABSTRACTS</a><br /><br />http://www.uoc.edu/symposia/workshop_ecrea2011/programa_eng.htmlUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-65813644913851654712011-09-15T14:15:00.000-07:002011-09-21T05:08:26.997-07:00updates of the ECREA Digital Culture and Communication 3rd WorkshopDear participants of the ECREA Digital Culture and Communication 3rd Workshop,<div><br /></div><div>Finally we got almost 80 contributions!

We set out to explore<br />an in-between time: a time, when much of the hype concerning digital<br />media has died down, much research material has been gathered and<br />analyzed and quite a bit about the possibilities and limitations of<br />digital media (especially in comparison to older media forms) has been<br />understood.<br /><br />Far from a communication revolution, the media landscape has nonetheless<br />changed substantially in recent years. In fact, we have undergone a<br />process of diffusion and appropriation: digital media have become an<br />important and ever-increasing part of our everyday lives. They suffuse<br />our communication, information and entertainment spheres. Not<br />surprisingly, the perceived connection between the internet and many<br />areas of social life, from work to play, has steadily increased in<br />recent years. However, even as digital media become pervasive,<br />ubiquitous, common and mundane, innovation continues to become an<br />integral characteristic of digital media forms, the proliferation of<br />which is challenging to map.<br /><br />We would therefore like to return to earlier models and theories that<br />attempted to explain new (digital) media in its ’first wave’ forms.<br />Additionally, we would like to address the question of what kind of<br />alterations and additions can be used to adapt existing models and<br />theories for current purposes (e.g. mediated person-to-person<br />communication; para-social interactions with virtual agents;<br />pseudo-social interactions with intelligent machines, etc.).<br /><br />The range of models and theories that can be used, re-visited, or<br />adapted is wide (i.e. traditional communication studies models, cultural<br />studies theories, anthropology, sociology and others). We want to encourage papers<br />that explore tensions between older and new approaches and older and<br />newer ?new media’ formations. Where has there been movement, where not,<br />and are there in fact new theories emerging?<br /><br />The social world sits at the heart of these diverse concerns. Social<br />relations, interactions and communication are at the heart of our<br />questions. Within this focus, the possible range of theories and methods<br />used, is wide. The following provides the range of angles that we propose:<br /><br />- HCI revisited:<br />Human-computer-interaction was an early forerunner concerning questions<br />of the relation between humans and computers (as well as, eventually,<br />humans via computers). What do we know of these relationships by now?<br />How do they differ from other human-object relationships? And how do<br />developments in these fields continue to inform, intersect and diverge<br />from the social life of digital media forms?<br /><br />- Virtual reality and AI re-thought:<br />Virtual reality and AI frameworks are another reference point that<br />dominated earlier cybercultural theory, and design. What was specific<br />about these moments and intersections? Why have these frameworks become<br />less used by technocultural theory (at least for more popular<br />theorizations)? What has survived in terms of virtual reality and AI<br />concepts in contemporary formations such as Web 2.0, Facebook and Second<br />Life?<br /><br />- Disappearance of the machine ? ubiquity, ambience and similar<br />approaches<br />A more recent development has been around the merging of machines, and<br />computational architecture with our environments. Thinking about<br />pervasive computing, sense perception and intimate technologies are<br />increasingly being used as frameworks for analysis. Where are they at in<br />terms of the current state of development? And what consequences would<br />these have for existing theoretical approaches (e.g. of appropriation of<br />media technologies) and questions of power? What happens to ethical and<br />political issues, such as privacy, monitoring, etc.? What does pervasive<br />computing mean for our relationships with machines?<br /><br />- Identities 4.0?<br />Identity was a much discussed topic in early web discourses. It is one<br />that keeps returning in new disguises. Identity, it seems, has survived<br />the ’post’ in identity politics. However, the valences of identity are<br />now much more negative than the more utopic versions that proliferated<br />in early digital media cultures. Identity categories have proliferated,<br />and the intersections of race, nation, class, gender, sexuality and<br />belief play a part in generating insecurity and a lack of trust between<br />citizens, denizens and racialized others, the adult world and ‘youth’,<br />or children and potential ‘paedophiles’. Can early theorizations of<br />identity and digital media be brought to bear on contemporary<br />experiences and what would these look like?<br /><br />- Bodies<br />Community, identity and the body were the tripartite features of digital<br />media theory in the 1990s. Whist community has been reformulated as SL<br />and social networking, and identity continues to return, the body has<br />also become an increasingly urgent site of enquiry as convergences of<br />informational and biotechnological practices of body knowledge become<br />materialized through digital media practices. These intersections offer<br />up questions about the precise contours of current biodigital identity<br />in the form of intersecting DNA databases, personal genomes, and<br />biometrics. What approaches and questions can address these informatic<br />corporealisations and their intersection with everyday life worlds?<br /><br />- Mass media, journalism and public communication<br />Since the mid-1990s, a broad corpus of theories on the production,<br />dissemination, reception, and the public and/or personal impact of<br />online mass media has evolved in the social sciences. How do<br />journalists’ routines change in online media? Does the public relevance<br />of journalistic mass media decrease or increase in present and future<br />times? How can the (societal) diffusion or (individual) appropriation of<br />new media developments described or analyzed? What do mass media mean to<br />the audience, and what are the present and future economic perspectives<br />of online mass media?<br /><br />- COST 298<br />Additionally, COST 298 members are invited to send separate abstracts<br />for a COST panel. COST 298 is an Action within the intergovernmental<br />framework for European Co-operation in the field of Scientific and<br />Technical Research. In COST 298 European scientists from<br />telecommunication research departments, universities and operators<br />together with independent consultants collaborate in cross-disciplinary<br />groups to analyze the social dimensions of people’s relationships to<br />information and communication technologies. In the COST 298 panel, the<br />same questions of older models and newer developments that guide the<br />overall conference are asked more specifically concerning the broadband<br />society. What have we learned in the last four years of the COST 298<br />network? Only COST 298 members will be eligible to apply for this panel.<br /><br />Please submit an extended abstract (700 words max.) by the 31st of<br />May 2009 (and clearly stating which topic section you would like to<br />submit this to) to:<br /><br />Prof. Dr. Maren Hartmann - University of the Arts (UdK), GWK -<br />Mierendorffstraße 30 - 10589 Berlin - Germany - Phone: +49 30 3185 2943<br /><br />Email: hartmann@udk-berlin.deKate O'Riordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05307264848728182341noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-41758610473371922482008-09-26T01:51:00.000-07:002008-09-26T01:53:42.790-07:00ECREA ElectionsDear colleagues,<br /><br />as many other sections, the Digital Culture and Communication section is also approaching the end of its first official term in office.<br /><br />We are therefore planning an election during the ECREA conference in Barcelona.<br /><br />We would like to invite all members to consider a more active role in the section at this point and to consider standing for election for the chair and vice chair positions.<br /><br />There are two possibilities to put yourselves forward for election: first of all as an individual (for the post of Vice-Chair) or second as a whole section team (i.e. three people).<br /><br />The first stems from the fact that I, Maren Hartmann, will step down as chair of the section. I have other commitments that do unfortunately not allow me to continue this post at present. Caroline Bassett and Kate O'Riordan, however, have declared their willingness to stand for re-election. I fully endorse their candidacy (I could not have wished for better co-chairs) and hope that interested individuals will step forward to join them in these efforts.<br /><br />Please send any nominations (individual or team) to me (hartmann@udk- berlin.de) on or before October 15th, 2008. We currently assume that the election/s of nominated candidates will take place during our business meeting during the conference in November.<br /><br /><br /><br />Let me also take this chance to thank everyone for having made this work so rewarding and fun (especially my two co-chairs, but also everyone who has attended our events and everyone from ECREA who has supported us thus far.<br /><br />With having had a very interesting stream of papers during the first ECREA conference (where we had a separate call) and a great workshop in Sussex last autumn plus yet another wonderful set of abstracts for this autumn (many of which we unfortunately had to turn down), I feel the section is beginning to have both a content identity and an organisational structure (see http:// www.digitalcultureandcommunication.blogspot.com/). Surely this work will be the continued focus of the section until the next election.<br /><br />Together with my German colleagues (from the media sociology and computer-mediated communications sections of the German communication association), I will still host the section conference planned for November 2010 in Berlin.<br /><br />My involvement with the section, I hope, will therefore not cease.<br /><br />I am very much looking forward to your nominations as well as to the conference in November.<br /><br /><br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Maren HartmannKate O'Riordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05307264848728182341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-67471419498277060822008-04-11T00:13:00.000-07:002008-04-11T00:15:22.623-07:00ECREA conference abstractsWe received a very high number of abstracts for our section for the ECREA conference in November.<br />We are currently reviewing and selecting them.<br />Unfortunately, we have to reject quite a few.<br />Fortunately, we except a great programme and good debates in Barcelona!marenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15234935260706038166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35979899.post-65515548295059286362008-01-17T00:50:00.000-08:002008-01-17T00:51:38.548-08:00DIGITAL CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION (DCC) SECTION - CALL FOR PANELS AND PAPERS<br />European Communication Research and Education Association - ECREA<br /><br />2nd ECREA CONFERENCE, Barcelona, 25-28 November 2008<br />Hosted by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) http:// <a href="http://www.ecrea2008barcelona.org/">www.ecrea2008barcelona.org</a><br /><br />PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15th February 2008<br /><br />The 'Digital Culture and Communication' section invites everyone who works on these issues, within the broad theme of ECREA's 2nd international conference, 'Communication policies and culture in Europe' to submit proposals.<br /><br />The section 'Digital Culture and Communication' aims to further exchange and develop research at the European level in the field of digital media and informational culture as this is broadly defined. We welcome work that crosses disciplines and that operates at the boundaries of what might generally be allowed to constitute media/ communication systems. The section actively seeks both empirical and theoretical/critical work.<br /><br />Digital media technologies allow us to rethink existing media and communication theories and approaches (as well as research methods). They also force us to redefine traditional boundaries and to explore new forms of interaction. We therefore encourage work based on interdisciplinary approaches that address the broad theme of the conference call, and the section's interests. We welcome proposals which reflect both theoretical and methodological challenges in digital culture and communication research as well as those exploring new boundaries within the field.<br />For further information about the section please visit our (relative stable) blog at: <a href="http://www.digitalcultureandcommunication.blogspot.com/">www.digitalcultureandcommunication.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />or email Maren Hartmann: hartmann@udk-berlin.de and/or Caroline Bassett: C.Bassett@sussex.ac.uk, Kate O’Riordan: <a href="mailto:K.ORiordan@sussex.ac.uk">K.ORiordan@sussex.ac.uk</a><br /><br />This invitation is for proposals of pre-organized panels, posters, and individual papers from established academics, young scholars, practitioners and postgraduate research students.<br />Individual paper proposals, individual poster proposals and panel<br />proposals can be submitted at the official conference website: <a href="http://www.ecrea2008barcelona.org/">www.ecrea2008barcelona.org</a><br /><br />PAPER PROPOSALS: http://www.ecrea2008barcelona.org/eng/callfor_pa.asp<br />POSTER PROPOSALS: http://www.ecrea2008barcelona.org/eng/callfor_po.asp<br />PANEL PROPOSALS: <a href="http://www.ecrea2008barcelona.org/eng/callfor_pn.asp">http://www.ecrea2008barcelona.org/eng/callfor_pn.asp</a><br /><br />Notifications of acceptance will be sent out in mid-April 2008,<br /><br />Paper-presenters and panellists will be asked to confirm their intention to attend by registering before October 24, 2008.<br /><br />Please note that, as a policy, ECREA Candidates can submit "one proposal as first author, and more as co-author (second, ...), chair or respondent of a panel - but a participant will be allowed only one paper presentation. The length of the individual abstracts is preferably 400 and maximum 500 words. A panel proposal combines a panel abstract with the individual abstracts, of each 400-500 words. Participants will indicate their preference for a specific section (where they want to present their paper / poster / panel)".Kate O'Riordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05307264848728182341noreply@blogger.com0
