DIGITAL CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION (DCC) SECTION - CALL FOR PANELS AND
PAPERS
European Communication Research and Education Association - ECREA

2nd ECREA CONFERENCE, Barcelona, 25-28  November 2008
Hosted by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) http://
www.ecrea2008barcelona.org

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
stable) blog at: www.digitalcultureandcommunication.blogspot.com/
or email Maren Hartmann: hartmann at udk-berlin.de and/or Caroline  Bassett:

This invitation is for proposals of pre-organized panels, posters,  and
individual papers from established academics, young scholars,
practitioners and postgraduate research students.

Individual paper proposals, individual poster proposals and panel
proposals can be submitted at the official conference website:

to attend by registering before October 24, 2008.

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)".
