CFP: Communication and the City - Voices, Spaces, Media (due Nov 30)
“What are the communicative dimensions of urban ‘spaces’ in their own right? How does space mediate specific ideologies and subjectivities, and how is urban space constructed and communicated as place?” This is one of the questions addressed in this CFP for a conference in Leeds.
Communication and the City: Voices, Spaces, Media; 14-15 June 2013; Urban Communication Foundation & Institute of Communications Studies, University of Leeds
Abstracts due Nov 30, 2012.
Conference themes
- What are the ‘voices’ that animate contemporary cities? How do different identities, groups, cultures, and constituencies interact, intersect and/or compete in mediated and non-mediated urban contexts?
- What are the communicative dimensions of urban ‘spaces’ in their own right? How does space mediate specific ideologies and subjectivities, and how is urban space constructed and communicated as place?
- What is the role of the ‘media’ in relation to both the symbolic and material existence of cities? How do both traditional and new media contribute to representing and experiencing, but also financing and structuring the urban environment?
