    Democracy is increasingly challenged by political polarization, disinformation, populist communication, declining trust in institutions, and the rapid transformation of the media ecosystem. Television now coexists with digital platforms, streaming services, social media, and algorithmically curated information environments that profoundly shape political debate and public opinion.

    The International Conference Television and New Media invites scholars, researchers and media professionals to reflect on the role of television and audiovisual media in contemporary democratic societies. Under the theme “Democracy in Times of Anger”, the conference seeks to explore how television and new media contribute to the construction, mediation, amplification or resistance of democratic and non-democratic discourses.

    We welcome theoretical, empirical and comparative contributions from communication and media studies, political communication, journalism, propaganda, political science, cultural studies and related fields.

    SUGGESTED TOPICS INCLUDE

    • Television and democratic resilience
    • Television and political communication
    • Populism, polarization and media
    • Television, propaganda and non-democratic discourses
    • Disinformation, misinformation and fact-checking
    • Television news and public trust
    • Public service media and democracy
    • Authoritarian narratives in audiovisual media
    • Electoral campaigns and political advertising
    • Journalism, editorial independence and democratic accountability
    • Artificial intelligence, algorithms and political communication
    • Television and social media ecosystems
    • Platformisation of television
    • Streaming platforms and the transformation of the public sphere
    • Digital participation and civic engagement
    • Hate speech, online extremism and media regulation
    • Media literacy and democratic citizenship
    • Visual communication and political persuasion
    • Comparative perspectives on media systems and democracy

    April 21-22, 2027

    Thessaloniki, Greece

    Deadline:  January 5, 2027

    Organized by Laboratory for the Study of Greek Cinema and Television (LSGCT) School of Film, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

    Keynote Speaker: Vrasidas Karalis, Professor of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, University of Sydney

    Call for Papers

    On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the military coup of 21 April 1967, the international conference Images in the Years of the Dictatorship, Sixty Years Later seeks to undertake a critical reassessment of the relationship between the military dictatorship and Greek cinema during the period 1967–1974.

    Despite the substantial scholarship that has developed around cinematic developments during the years of the dictatorship, many aspects of film production, distribution, and exhibition during the period remain either insufficiently studied or confined within established interpretive frameworks. The sixtieth anniversary offers an opportunity for a broader reconsideration of the ways in which the cinematic culture of the seven-year dictatorship has been approached in academic research: from censorship and propaganda to commercial cinema, aesthetic transformations, the operation of the film industry, and forms of political expression.

    The conference proposes a re-evaluation of Greek cinema during the dictatorship beyond simplistic binaries—such as commercial/political, resistance/compliance, or art/industry—and seeks to explore the contradictions, continuities, and transformations of the period through new historiographical, theoretical, and archival approaches. 

    At the same time, the conference welcomes approaches that draw upon public history, oral history, and digital methods of research, documentation, and curation of film culture, highlighting new ways of accessing, interpreting, and disseminating the cinematic heritage of the period.

    Particular emphasis will be placed on:

    • revisiting established narratives of cinema during the dictatorship;
    • studying neglected genres and filmmakers;
    • making use of archival sources;
    • reconsidering the relationship between aesthetic form, censorship, and the ideological function of the image.

    The conference aims to bring into dialogue film historians and film scholars, researchers of visual culture, archival institutions, doctoral researchers, and practitioners around the following thematic areas, which are indicative rather than exhaustive.

    No payment from the participants will be required

    Deadline: November 1, 2026

    Edited by: Lewis Rarm (Victoria University of Wellington) and Federico Selvini (IULM University)

    Since the early 2000s, wearable cameras have become increasingly prominent consumer recording technologies. Their development and commercial rise—driven in particular by GoPro, founded by Nick Woodman in 2002—were initially associated with extreme and action sports. These devices enabled athletes to record their own performances from a first-person perspective, even in remote and often inaccessible environments, without the assistance of a professional camera crew.

    To meet these demands, wearable cameras were designed with a distinctive set of technical features: their reduced size and weight allow them to be mounted directly on the user’s body; their construction makes them resistant to impacts and adverse weather conditions; their high degree of automation minimises the need for continuous manual operation; and their fixed-focus, wide-angle lenses capture an extensive field of view.

    Although they originated within a recreational context, the use of wearable cameras soon expanded beyond the boundaries of leisure and action-sports culture. They are now employed across a wide range of practices: soldiers and combatants use them to record their experiences in theatres of war; terrorist organisations and extremist actors incorporate the resulting footage into propaganda materials; and police forces have adopted body-worn cameras as evidentiary and accountability tools intended to document potentially controversial encounters.

    Across contexts of armed conflict, terrorism, and policing, the technical and visual affordances of these devices have proved particularly effective in documenting violence through an embodied gaze. Wearable camera footage has consequently become central to the ways in which violence and potentially violent encounters are recorded, framed, circulated, authenticated, and contested.

    Drawing on questions of witnessing, testimony, and violence, Body-Worn Cameras and the Visual Politics of Violence: Embodied Witnessing eschews the idea that wearable cameras are neutral recording instruments and instead examines how they constitute a specific form of mediation. The footage they produce occupies an inherently ambiguous position: it may document acts of conflict and harm, generate forms of evidence and testimony, and contribute to public memory, but it may also reproduce and recirculate those acts, position viewers within the visual perspective of those who carry them out, or be mobilised for propagandistic, operational, and institutional purposes. Why are these technologies so frequently employed in such contexts? What forms of witnessing do they produce? How do they reshape the positions of witness, victim, perpetrator, and spectator?

    Over the past fifteen years, a growing number of studies have addressed wearable cameras. Much of this scholarship, however, remains fragmented or centred on individual case studies. A more substantial body of research has developed around police body-worn cameras, but it has generally focused on issues related to privacy or on their legal, judicial, and operational effectiveness. Far less attention has been paid to the broader cultural and political implications of producing images through a camera physically attached to the body. Such images possess distinctive aesthetic, perceptual, and sensory characteristics that derive not only from their contexts of use but also from the technical and functional properties of the recording devices themselves.

    The volume seeks to address this gap by bringing into dialogue scholars working across media studies and visual culture studies. It approaches wearable cameras as “machines of vision,” combining attention to media technologies, practices, and circulation with analyses of visuality, aesthetics, spectatorship, and representation. In doing so, it aims to develop critical perspectives on how wearable camera footage mediates violent events and experiences and reshapes established notions of witnessing and testimony.

    The volume will be organised into three sections. Prospective contributors are invited to submit proposals addressing one of the following areas:

    1. Wearable Cameras in Conflict and Political Violence

    This section examines images produced by wearable cameras in contexts of armed conflict and political violence. It traces the growing adoption of these devices during the Global War on Terror and their widespread presence in contemporary conventional and asymmetric warfare, terrorist attacks, and extremist violence. It considers the recording of armed conflict and political violence by direct participants to be a relatively recent yet increasingly established media practice, focusing on the visual forms generated by the encounter between the recording body, the technical apparatus, and the spatial, political, and symbolic terrain in which violence takes place. Contributions may address footage produced by a range of state and non-state actors, its aesthetic and technological characteristics, and the ways in which it constructs and circulates forms of vision, testimony, evidence, propaganda, memory, and spectatorship.

    2. Police Body-Worn Cameras and Visual Power

    This section examines the images produced by police body-worn cameras and the contested visual cultures through which police encounters are made visible and such images acquire meaning and authority. It situates these images within a longer history of struggles over the visibility of policing, including recordings made by bystanders, citizens, and activists, while examining how the use of body-worn cameras reconfigures who produces such images, who controls their circulation, and how they come to function as evidence. Contributions may examine how the embodied and seemingly immediate perspective of body-worn cameras contributes to the construction of police footage as an objective record, and how institutional control over its production, selection, interpretation, and circulation shapes what becomes visible, intelligible, and contestable. The section welcomes analyses of the aesthetic and technological characteristics of these images; their relationship to surveillance, state violence, racialised policing, and institutional power; and their use across legal, journalistic, documentary, and digital media contexts.

    3. Embodiment and Witnessing: Pleasure and Resistance

    This section considers the implications, effects, and affects of body-worn camera footage, which often depicts spectacular violence while eliciting both joy and dread in audiences. Contributions may examine the affective excesses of these images and the conditions under which footage of violent scenes provokes voyeuristic pleasure. The section also asks what might be salvaged from the violent entanglements within which body-worn cameras are deployed and their footage is produced and circulated. Can the pleasure generated by these images be rescued or redirected? Can body-worn camera footage offer possibilities for resistance or a line of escape from the regimes of power within which it is produced and circulated? Submissions may address the affective capacities of body-worn camera images, their mobilisation as forms of critique or resistance, or the relationship between these two dimensions.

    Submission Guidelines

    Prospective contributors are invited to submit an abstract of 300-500 words, accompanied by a short biographical note of approximately 100 words and 3-5 keywords, by Sunday, 1 November 2026, via this form: https://forms.gle/nM6afJWMcqgpyM3f6

    Notifications of acceptance will be sent by Thursday, 10 December 2026.

    Authors whose proposals are accepted will be required to submit their full chapters by Wednesday, 30 June 2027.

    Chapters should be between 7,000 and 8,000 words in length, including notes and bibliography, and may include a maximum of three images. Authors are responsible for obtaining all necessary permissions and reproduction rights for any copyrighted or third-party material included in their chapters. 

    All chapters will be subject to double-blind peer review.

    The volume will be published in English in 2028 by Routledge as part of the Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies series.

    Institution, an international platform dedicated to contemporary culture, sustainability, and innovation, is launching its new Sustainability Manager and Strategist for Cultural Institutions programme, which may be of interest to colleagues working across the cultural, artistic, and academic sectors. Please feel free to share this announcement with interested colleagues and networks.

    The programme is grounded in the premise that sustainability in the cultural sector must move beyond being a subject of research and public discourse to become an everyday institutional practice. It addresses a central challenge facing cultural organisations today: how can museums, art centres, theatres, festivals, and other cultural institutions develop environmentally responsible, socially meaningful, and economically resilient modes of operation? 

    Throughout the programme, participants work on a real case study while developing a Sustainability Portfolio tailored to their own institutional context. The portfolio is designed to address each organisation’s priorities, challenges, and sustainability objectives. Topics include ESG frameworks, governance, impact measurement, KPI systems, communication strategies, sustainable fundraising, and sponsorship.

    The faculty brings together international experts in sustainability management, cultural policy, fundraising, impact assessment, environmental standards, and strategic leadership across the cultural and creative sectors. 

    Preferential accommodation rates are available for participants attending the residency week in Santa Sofia. Reduced participation fees are available for eligible students, entry-level professionals, and applicants from low-income countries. Institution also offers 20 Individual Participation Grants (€200 each), awarded on a rolling basis while places remain.

    Editors: Liliana Herakova (U of Maine), Jennifer A. Zenovich (Cal State East Bay), Marta N. Lukacovic (Clemson U)

    We invite academic and creative proposals positioning the Balkans not as passive objects of study, but as active knowledge producers. Moving beyond Western frameworks, this project explores how Balkan "in-betweenness" (liminality) disrupts linear chronologies, stage-based transitologies, and rigid binaries to reframe global communication theorizing.

    Deadlines & Guidelines:

    • Abstracts (≤500 words) + 150-word author bio: Due September 1, 2026. Abstracts should answer the questions below in ≤100 words/each:

    1.     What Balkan communication theorizing intervention, contribution, or question are you proposing?

    2.     How does your proposal dis/connect with existing theorizing movements (e.g., de-westernizing, post-socialism, transitology)?

    3.     How does it move ontologies, epistemologies, and/or axiologies in communication?

    4.     How does it re/consider or critique processes of knowledge production?

    5.     How does it enable communication studies to play active roles in transdisciplinary geopolitical analyses/actions?

    • Invited Full Chapters (≤6,000 words) and Creative Works: Due December 15, 2026.

    Send your submissions and questions to liliana.herakova@maine.edu with “Communicating Balkan Liminalities” as the subject line.

    Media, War & Conflict

    Deadline: August 31, 2026

    Dear colleagues,

    I am pleased to share a call for abstracts for a proposed special issue on “Iran Amid Crises: War, Media, Repression, and the Future of Democratic Movements,” to be submitted for consideration by Media, War & Conflict.

    The special issue examines the recent protests, war, and repression in Iran as a critical case for understanding authoritarian power under conditions of extreme coercion, communicative disruption, international conflict, and political uncertainty. The 2025–26 uprising and subsequent war have intensified long-standing questions about state violence, digital authoritarianism, propaganda, information warfare, journalism under restriction, diaspora witnessing, AI-generated disinformation, and the political economy of repression.

    We are particularly interested in submissions that move beyond description and offer analytically strong, empirically grounded, and conceptually ambitious contributions. Papers may focus specifically on Iran or place the Iranian case in comparative dialogue with other authoritarian and conflict-affected contexts, including Belarus, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, and beyond.

    Possible themes include, but are not limited to, state violence and securitization; internet shutdowns and infrastructural repression; propaganda and disinformation; AI-generated content and synthetic media; journalism and fact-checking under blackout; diaspora activism; cultural politics and defiance; trauma and witnessing; political economy; and comparative studies of authoritarian resilience and democratic mobilization.

    Abstracts should be sent to Pardis Yarahmadi at pardis.yarahmadi@hdr.qut.edu.au no later than 31 August 2026. The email subject line should be: Abstract Submission for “Iran Amid Crises” Special Issue.

    Abstracts should be submitted as a .docx file and include: title, author name(s), institutional affiliation(s), email address(es), abstract, keywords, and short biographical note(s).

    Please see the link below for further details. I would be grateful if you could circulate this call among colleagues, networks, and researchers who may be interested.

    VIEW Journal 

    Deadline: October 7, 2026

    Dear all,

    We are currently accepting proposals for Issue #32 of VIEW Journal - Televising Art Music: Space, Performance and Audiences.

    Although musicology and sound studies have extensively analyzed the relationship between art music and audiovisual media, a television-specific perspective remains comparatively fragmented. This issue of VIEW addresses this gap by positioning post-1945 art music not merely as background sound, but as a core structuring element of television history. It explores how TV expanded classical music's audience, created new creative opportunities for composers, and shaped collective culture through broadcasts of operas, concerts, background motifs, and screen-specific experiments. 

    We welcome proposals from scholars and practitioners working in television studies, media history, musicology, sound studies, audiovisual media, and related fields. Topics might include:

    • Genres and forms of art music and their logics of circulation on television;
    • The artistic and socio-cultural impact of music programming on television;
    • The process of popularisation of art music and mediation of other music traditions (i.e. folk, jazz, blues);
    • And more.

    Proposal deadline: 7 October 2026

    Abstract: max. 500 words (+100-word bio)

    Editors: Sara Beimdieke (Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf), Jelena Novak (CESEM, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa), Emiliano Rossi (Università di Padova)
