“Digital Pasts and Futures: Internet Histories, Digital  
Interculturality and Reimagining Digitality”

  Call-for-Papers: The Fourth ReDICo (Researching Digital  
Interculturality Co-operatively) Conference

  Online, 23-24 June 2025

  In this conference we would like to bring together scholars who  
engage with internet histories, digital futures and digital  
interculturality so as to initiate a discussion regarding the  
reimagining of digitality, not least its relationship to  
interculturality. We are, thus, interested in wide and  
interdisciplinary approaches that go beyond the presentism that often  
marks media and communication studies, while also engaging with  
alternative visions of how digitality can be construed, not least from  
an intercultural perspective.

  Please send an abstract (250 words) of your intended paper to:

selection of the papers presented will be published following a peer  
review process in book form, funding pending, with the transcript  
Publishing House in the Series “Studies in Digital  
Interculturality”[2]. The conference is without fees, completely  
online and is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and  
Research (BMBF).
