ICS PhD Conference
Tuesday 29th June 2010.
We frequently divide civil culture and popular culture, but new media thrives on the creation of relationships. The civil and the popular are no exception. The conference looks to explore how new media spaces connect/reconnect/disconnect across all boundaries, especially civic and popular boundaries.
The conference invites papers that tackle the role of new media in all spaces that involve the civic and the popular. We invite any and all disciplines to connect/reconnect/disconnect with the term new media in deciding how we are actually engaging with civil and popular culture spaces online and in our new/old and augmented/unchanged reality.
Indicative conference themes:
Online journalism and the blogosphere
Mobile connectivity at local, regional, national and/or supranational levels
Online social and political networking
Popular culture and transnational communities in new media spaces
Civil disobedience and regulation in new media
How new media has changed/reinforced/influenced popular culture and its traditions
The future of social and/or civil spaces created by technology and/or global populations
