    May 4-5, 2020

    London, UK

    Deadline: February 15, 2020

    The inaugural Communication for Change Festival invites abstracts for papers, posters, exhibitions, workshops, and film screenings on the festival’s theme of ‘Connections’.

    The Festival is hosted by the Institute for Media and Creative Industries, Loughborough University in London and organised in collaboration with: the Migrant Memory and the Post-colonial Imagination (MMPI) project; and the Rethinking Democracy (REDEM) research platform, Malmö University. It will be hosted at Loughborough University’s vibrant London campus in East London on May 4-5, 2020.

    Festival Theme: ‘ Connections’

    We live in a time where the social cohesion of our society is threatened and at risk. We are experiencing social and political conflict that suggest profound disconnections between what we aspire to do or become, and what is possible. Realities and imaginaries often connect poorly, many can’t make ends meet, and divisions between communities, cultures, nations are prevalent. Practices of communication both divide and bridge communities. In this context, the festival theme, ‘Connections’, draws attention to how the research and practice of communication for social change enhances a variety of connections, both disciplinary, temporal, spatial and relational. How do we connect the past with the present, the realities of the global North and South, the lives in one community to another, or the online media practices with the offline. How are disconnections overcome and connections enhanced?

    Submitting an abstract

    The festival seeks to foster a creative and interdisciplinary exploration of this topic, inviting abstracts from a broad gamut of inter-related fields of research and practice, such as: communication for social change and development, memory studies, conflict and development studies, media and cultural studies, migration studies, and postcolonial/decolonial studies. We equally invite abstracts from the perspectives of social change practitioners, activists, students and artists. The Festival creates a space to explore ways of (re)building connections in highly divided contexts such as civil conflict and war, apartheid and partition, and separation through inequalities.

    Abstracts should be 200 - 300 words, and should indicate:

    • Activity type (poster, paper presentation, fishbowls, workshop, film screening, other)
    • Participant type (academic, MA student, PhD student, practitioner, activist, artist, other)

    Deadline for submission of abstracts: February 15

    Deadline for registration without paper: March 13.

    Please send your submissions to CfSCFestival@lboro.ac.uk

    September 10-12, 2020

    Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy

    Deadline: April 1, 2020

    ESA RN18 Mid-Term Conference 2020

    Conference website: https://rn18esa.wordpress.com

    European Sociological Association (ESA) ‐ Research Network 18: Sociology of Communications and Media Research in cooperation with the:

    • Interuniversity Department of Regional and Urban Studies and Planning (DIST) of the Polytechnic University of Turin and the University of Turin
    • Italian National Sociological Association (AIS) – Section: Cultural Processes and Institutions
    • Italian Scientific Society of Sociology, Culture, Communication (SISCC)
    • Antonio Gramsci Piedmont Institute Foundation

    KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

    • Tiziana Terranova (University of Naples ‘L’Orientale’, Italy): Hypersocial Networks: for a critical genealogy of the social network topos
    • Peter Thomas (Brunel University London, UK)
    • Donatella Della Ratta (John Cabot University, Rome, Italy): Twenty-Twenty Critical Theory Toolkit: Take the Red Pill and live happily in the age of algorithmic (in)humanity

    We live in times of deepening economic, political, social, ideological and ecological crises that are expressed in widespread precarious labour, the commodification of (almost) everything, the rise of new nationalism, populism and authoritarian forms of capitalism, and ecological destruction. The display of power and counter-power, domination and spaces of power struggles, and the commons and the commodification of the commons characterise modern society. Contradictions and antagonisms between the haves and the have-nots shape contemporary Europe and beyond. Media and communication are fields of conflict in this power struggle: they are power structures and sites of power struggles, able to support both the expansion and the commodification of the commons.

    On reflection of the conference place, Turin was the city where Gramsci lived, was politically active and where he set up the weekly newspaper ‘L’Ordine Nuovo’ and acted as editor of the newspaper ‘Il Grido del Popolo’. Gramsci exerted influence on the study of culture and communication in society. ESA RN18’s mid-term conference in Turin is an occasion for media/communication/cultural sociologists to ask: What is the relevance of Gramsci and other approaches and thinkers inspired by Marx for the study of communication and society today?

    ESA RN18 calls for contributions that shed new light on theoretical and analytical insights that help to shape critical media sociology in the 21st century, in particular, but not exclusively, addressed to any of the following:

    1. Critical Media Sociology and Capitalism

    2. Critical Media Sociology and Critical Theory

    3. Critical Media Sociology and Critical Political Economy of Media, Information and Communication

    4. Critical Media Sociology, Gramsci and Hegemony

    5. Critical Media Sociology and Ideology Critique

    6. Critical Media Sociology and Cultural and Communication Labour

    7. Critical Media Sociology and Digital Labour

    8. Critical Media Sociology, New Nationalism and Authoritarianism

    9. Critical Media Sociology, Consumption and Production in Urban Processes

    10. Critical Media Sociology, Patriarchy and Gender

    11. Critical Media Sociology, Social Inequality, Identity and Subjectivities

    12. Critical Media Sociology, Ecology and Climate

    13. Critical Media Sociology, Democracy and the Public Sphere

    14. Critical Media Sociology and the Left

    15. Critical Media Sociology, the Commons and Alternatives

    June 27-29, 2020

    LCC International University, Klaipeda, Lithuania

    Submission Deadline: February 29, 11: 59 p.m. (Pacific Time)

    Host: Communication Association of Eurasian Researchers (CAER)

    The Communication Association of Eurasian Researchers (CAER) welcomes submissions that focus on various aspects of communication in, with and about Eastern and Central Europe. This conference will serve as an opportunity to truly “internationalize” the field of communication, providing opportunities for transnational “bridge building”. This will have a plentitude of positive potentialities naturally percolate, producing new global connections, creativity, and commonalities in a world beset with division, delimitation, and difference.

    Internationalization, as outlined by the National Communication Association and the American Association of State Universities and Colleges accomplishes the goals of making global citizens of our students, linking international academic communities, enhancing national and international security, and enlivening and expanding faculty research and scholarship.

    Potential ideas for building bridges between communication scholars from the East and West could revolve around the following subjects (though this list is not limiting or exhaustive, but rather generative):

    • Growing misunderstandings between governments
    • Growing misunderstandings between governments and publics
    • Misinformation, disinformation, and other manipulation through communication
    • Declining trust in traditional authorities
    • Polarization and radicalization
    • Threats to peace and security
    • Threats to human rights and dignity
    • Future of democracy and democratization
    • Lack of social justice
    • Unsustainable practices
    • Depletion of natural environment

    We will engage the contemporary issues by discussing research contributions from international scholars with the ambition to:

    • Establish a bridge to connect scholars from different paradigmatic, cultural, and geographical locations.
    • Envision future bridges to engage communication scholars with broader communities to analyze, understand, and perhaps even mitigate some of the current issues.

    CAER seeks to be a place where through scholarship we transcend many of the divisions of politics or geography, finding common ground through the language and practice of communication research.

    To submit to the conference: Please submit a 250-word abstract of your paper by the deadline listed above. If you are submitting a panel (preference will be given to paper panels), with abstracts for each proposed presentation.

    Submit your abstract by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/kEw4LYGAMi7DZ4qw9

    Venue: Palais du Pharo, Marseille, France

    Submission deadline (extended): February 21, 2020

    https://www.clarin.eu/ParlaCLARIN-II

    Submission page: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2020/ParlaCLARIN2

    Parliamentary data is a major source of socially relevant content. It is available in ever larger quantities, is multilingual, accompanied by rich metadata, and has the distinguishing characteristic that it is spoken language produced in controlled circumstances which has traditionally been transcribed but is now increasingly released also in audio and video formats. All these factors require solutions related to structuring, synchronization, visualization, querying and analysis of parliamentary corpora. Furthermore, approaches to the exploitation of parliamentary corpora to their full extent also have to take into account the needs of researchers from vastly different Humanities and Social Sciences fields, such as political sciences, sociology, history, and psychology.

    A successful first edition of the ParlaCLARIN scientific workshop held at LREC 2018 (https://www.clarin.eu/ParlaCLARIN) and a follow-up developmental ParlaFormat workshop held by CLARIN ERIC in 2019 (https://www.clarin.eu/event/2019/parlaformat-workshop) resulted in a good overview of the multitude of the existing parliamentary resources worldwide as well as tangible first steps towards better harmonization, interoperability and comparability of the resources and tools relevant for the study of parliamentary discussions and decisions.

    The second ParlaCLARIN workshop therefore aims to bring together developers, curators and researchers of regional, national and international parliamentary debates that are suitable for research in disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. We invite unpublished original work focusing on the compilation, annotation, visualisation and utilisation of parliamentary records as well as linking or comparing parliamentary records with other datasets of political discourse such as party manifestos, political speeches, political campaign debates, social media posts, etc. Apart from dissemination of the results, the workshop also aims to address the identified obstacles, discuss open issues and coordinate future efforts in this increasingly trans-national and cross-disciplinary community.

    Objective

    Due to Freedom of Information Acts that are supported by the United Nations and set in place in over 100 countries worldwide, parliamentary debates are being increasingly easy to obtain, and have always been of interest to researchers from a wide range fields in Humanities and Social Sciences both for the potential influence of their content, and the specificities of the formalized, often persuasive and emotional language use in this context. As a consequence, there are many initiatives, on the national and international levels, that aim at compiling and analysing parliamentary data. CLARIN-PLUS survey on parliament data has identified over 20 corpora of parliamentary records, with over half of them being available within the CLARIN infrastructure (https://www.clarin.eu/resource-families/parliamentary-corpora).

    Given the maturity, variety, and potential of this type of language data as well as the rich metadata it is complemented with, it is urgent to gather researchers both from the side of those producing parliamentary corpora and making them available, those making use of them for linguistic, historical, political, sociological etc. research as well as those linking or comparing them with other datasets of political discourse such as party manifestos, political speeches, political campaign debates, social media posts, etc. in order to share methods and approaches of compiling, annotating and exploring parliamentary and other political language data in order to achieve harmonization of the compiled resources, and to ensure current and future comparability of research on national datasets as well as promote transnational analyses.

    Keynote

    The keynote talk entitled Different arenas, different texts, one message? What we can learn from a combined analysis of manifestos and parliamentary debates will be presented by Pola Lehmann & Bernhard Weßels, and will be devoted to the Manifesto Project.

    Topics of interest

    Topics include but are not limited to:

    • Creation and annotation of parliamentary data in textual and/or spoken format
    • Annotation standards and best practices for parliamentary corpora
    • Accessibility, querying and visualisation of parliamentary data
    • Text analytics, semantic processing and linking of parliamentary and other datasets of political language data
    • Parliamentary corpora and multilinguality
    • Studies based on parliamentary corpora
    • Studies comparing parliamentary corpora with other types of political discourse

    Submissions & Publication

    We accept submission of long papers (up to 8 pages), short papers (up to 4 pages) and demo papers (up to 4 pages) to be presented as a long or short oral presentation at the workshop. The papers of the workshop will be published in online proceedings.

    When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones). For contact data, stylesheets, up-to-date details on submission and the workshop itself, please consult the workshop website.

    Identify, Describe and Share your LRs!

    Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now standard practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about “Sharing LRs” (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new “regular” feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data.

    As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2020 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time.
