> PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15th February 2008

> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> For further information about the section please visit our (relative

> 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)".
