The CITASA Symposium Committee is delighted to announce the call for abstracts for the 2014 Symposium entitled [New] Media Cultures. 

Sponsored by CITASA and the UC Berkeley Center for New Media, the Symposium is on August 15th--the day before the ASA Annual Meeting in San Francisco.

We welcome submissions on any facet of culture, communication, and [new] media as broadly defined as possible. Themes that come to mind are the interplay between [new] media and any of the following: culture, communication, technology, convergence, the arts, cultural production, cultural change in the digital age-and of course anything else [new] media or communication or culture scholars find intriguing...

Presentations will be eligible for submission to the 2015 Volume IV of Emerald Studies in Media and Communication entitled [New] Media Cultures (see www.emeraldmediastudies.com/).

Space is limited. The deadline for submitting an abstract is March 1, 2014 (notification by March 15). Please send submissions including your name, email, and an abstract of 200-750 words outlining your research to: citasasymposium at gmail.com by March 1st.
