-- INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: Call for papers --
** ONE WEEK LEFT FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS **

TRANSFORMING AUDIENCES
Identity | Creativity | Everyday Life

6–7 September 2007, University of Westminster

http://www.transformingaudiences.org.uk

in association with the Audience and Reception Studies section of the
European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA), and the
Popular Communication Division of the International Communication
Association (ICA).

'Audience' is now widely recognised as a concept in crisis.
The traditional notion of families gathered around the television set has
crumbled, to be replaced by much more complex models of dispersed and
fragmented audiences, 'users', or 'participants', who may take the role of
producer as well as audience, and who use traditional and new technologies
in a mix of communication, consumption and creativity.

At the same time, audiences survive. Today's diverse range of media forms
continue to have audiences, and media theorists continue to produce
important work about the connections between media and identities, everyday
life, and responses to current and global affairs.

Plenary speakers will include Sonia Livingstone and Joke Hermes.

Confirmed speakers include Martin Barker, Göran Bolin, John Corner, Knut
Lundby, Peter Lunt, and Maire Messenger Davies.

Conference organisers: Caroline Dover, David Gauntlett, Annette Hill, and
Roza Tsagarousianou (CAMRI, University of Westminster), with Geoffroy
Patriarche, Chair, ECREA Audience and Reception Studies section, and Lynn
Schofield Clark, Chair, ICA Popular Communication Division.
