Edited volume (Routledge)

Deadline: January 15, 2020

Temporal scales and perceptions of past, present and future diverge, clash and merge in complex ways when discussing and visualizing climate change. The “slow violence” (Nixon) of climate change, linked to a complicated and multi-sited history of extraction, has caused immediate and imminent devastation—or, what is now increasingly referred to as the “climate emergency” and “climate crisis”.

This intersection of quick ruptures with gradual, extended experiences of change are difficult to reconcile, especially by journalists and media-makers. Following on from that, this collection aims to reflect on the complex negotiations of temporal scales related to climate change and its mediations. Such negotiations emerge, for instance, in the temporalities related to the mediation of Greta Thunberg, which relate to geological time, its acceleration, tipping points, institutional temporalities of politics and journalism (and its possible acceleration), lifespans and generations as well as living memories of weather and related events. Such scales and perceptions are, furthermore, inscribed within more specific temporalities of media ideologies, ideologies and cultures in very different locales, which — at some level — all are written into the temporalities of global communication.

The broad aim of this volume is consequently to analyse the meetings of and schisms between various temporalities as they emerge within specific mediations of climate change in a diverse range of locations around the world. The collection thus seeks to understand how climate change as a temporal process gets inscribed within the temporalities of journalism, which inflect various local, regional, national and global times as well as various perceptions of change related to generations, (living) memory and (national) politics and how such perceptions are linked to the temporalities of globalisation, colonialism, race, gender and class. The aim of this collection is to free the thinking about climate change communication from science communication and/or social science approaches focusing on how climate communication can be improved (Chadwick) and, linked to that, how effects can be measured. Rather than being immediately focused on more efficient communication as determined and measured by an empiricist tradition, such critical cultural studies may help tease out important nuances of discourse and power that eventually can point towards different communicative practices.

Deadline: January 15, 2020

The fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on the Quantitative and Computational Analysis of Textual Data will be held in Innsbruck, Austria, on 15-16 May 2020.

COMPTEXT is an international community of quantitative text analysis scholars in political science, international relations and beyond. COMPTEXT is a legacy project of the 2018 POLTEXT Conference in Budapest (organized by Miklós Sebők) and the 2019 POLTEXT Conference in Tokyo (organized by Kohei Watanabe, Lisa Lechner and Miklós Sebők – for more information, see our official website at: http://www.comptextconference.org/). From 2020 the project continues on a new name, one that better reflects our approach.

We are seeking submissions that

• Address the complexity of research problems at the intersection of social sciences (particularly political science and international relations) and information technology
• Use computational methods in analyzing textual sources
• Adhere to a comparative approach to solving these problems, such as multi-lingual comparative analysis

We strongly encourage all scholars who employ quantitative text analysis methods to submit abstracts for presentation at the conference, but priority will be given to proposals which are relevant to one or more of the abovementioned focus points. We accept both substantive and methodological papers for presentation: substantive papers may be on any studies in social sciences or humanities that utilize quantitative text analysis; methodological papers may cover, but are not restricted to, word embeddings, topic models, different machine learning approaches, or sentiment analysis.

COMPTEXT conferences embrace interdisciplinary and diversity of participants, and we encourage PhD students and early career researchers to submit.

In keeping with our tradition, on 14 May, 2020 a tutorial day will be held for registered participants for a registration fee of EUR 30. Courses will be offered for both beginner and advanced level participants.

Submission of Paper Proposals:

Proposals, along with an abstract of 250 words and a few substantive and methods-related keywords, should be submitted via the submission form by 15 January 2020.

Notifications of acceptance are due by 15 February, 2020. The registration deadline is 15 March, 2020. Full-length papers must be uploaded by 7 May, 2020.

Crises come in many shapes and sizes, including media blunders, social media activism, extortion, product tampering, security issues, natural disasters, accidents, and negligence – just to name a few. For organizations, crises are pervasive, challenging, and catastrophic, as well as opportunities for organizations to thrive and emerge stronger.

Despite the proliferation of research and books related to crisis communication, the voice that is often lost is that of the stakeholder. Yet, as both a public relations and management function, stakeholders are central to the success and failure of organizations responding to and managing crises in a cross-platform and global environment. This core textbook provides a comprehensive and research-driven introduction to crisis communication, critical factors influencing crisis response, and what we know about predicting stakeholder responses to crises. Incorporated into each chapter are global case studies, ethical challenges, and practitioner considerations.

Demonstrating the connection between theory, decision-making, and strategy development in a crisis context, this is a vital text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Communications, Public Relations, Marketing, and Strategic Management.

The text will have podcast lectures, PowerPoints for each chapter, a testbank, instructor's manual, and three simulation exercises available as supporting materials by 1 January, 2019 (just in time for second semester adoption). It is available as an e-book (Kindle included), hardcover, and paperback.

The text is available on Amazon or direct from Routledge at: https://www.routledge.com/Crisis-Communication-Managing-Stakeholder-Relationships-1st-Edition/Diers-Lawson/p/book/9781138346246

The supporting resources will be available from: https://audralawson.com/resources/crisis-communication-managing-stakeholder-relationships/

Review of the text:

"Crisis Communication represents a real advancement in our knowledge. The book brings together two relevant fields of studies, crisis communication and stakeholder relationship management, contributing to the advancement of both and offering a new perspective in bringing them together. Covering a wide range of topics using the most established perspectives as well as the newest ones, this is a book to be read by students for their introduction to the field and by senior professionals to update their knowledge." – Alessandra Mazzei, Director at the Centre for Employee Relations and Communication at IULM University, Italy

Recherches en communication

Deadline: January 15, 2020

Coordinators of the issue: Andrea Catellani (UCLouvain), David Douyère (University of Tours), Olivier Servais (UCLouvain)

See the complete call for papers on the website of the scientific journal “Recherches en communication”: http://sites.uclouvain.be/rec/index.php/rec/announcement/view/203

The religious process uses any material form to communicate the presence of absent or transcendent entities and to enable a relationship to be established with them, and to organize the regime of action that results from this relationship. With the computerization of society and the development of exchanges by digital means, it also mobilizes signs of its own dynamics on the networks. The present issue therefore aims to investigate the forms of digital expression and visibility of the religious and the reasons for their digital expansion.

These forms of visibility can be carried out by devotees (Favret-Saada, 2017), activists or set up by religious institutions and movements of different types. We will look at the speeches, images, digital devices and ergonomics that develop the proposed religious service, as well as the economic and socio-political contexts that can motivate, explain or¨underpin these communications, always within the framework of a vision focused on information and communication. Finally, we will also look at the practices (Jonveaux, Duteil-Ogata, forthcoming) of production and mobilization of these devices, as well as their theorizations.

The proposals for articles may therefore be part of one (or more) of the following axes:

1. Religious digital media and devices

2. Discourses, textbooks and theorizations of religious digital technology

3. Religious digital actors

4. Digital religious action

5. Religious institutions and the digital world

6. Religions and socio-political mobilization of digital technology

7. New religions on the Internet

8. Criticism of online religions: parodies and misappropriations.

The articles will include, in addition to a presentation of the methodology adopted, the field of scientific insertion and the theoretical contexts mobilized, a presentation of the corpus (websites, applications, videos, sound sequences, etc.) or the field studied, or the theoretical and epistemological proposal made, and an indication of the researcher's position with regard to the object or confession studied, for the sake of scientific integrity. Particular emphasis will be placed on clarity of enunciation, including theoretical and conceptual clarity, accuracy of data (and modes of data acquisition) and accuracy of data processing.

Procedures for responding to the call for articles

Interested researchers are invited to submit the full version of their paper (maximum 30,000 characters) on the journal's website by January 15, 2020.

Link for submitting a paper: http://sites.uclouvain.be/rec/index.php/rec/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions

The answer will be given no later than two months after the submission.

Articles may be submitted in French or English.

Articles submitted and accepted for publication in this dossier are published one by one on the site, at the time of their completion, without waiting for the entire dossier to be ready for publication.

Instructions for writing the article: maximum 30,000 characters per article (spaces and references included, abstract and keywords not included), if possible with illustrations (royalty-free). The complete presentation procedures are available on the website:  http://sites.uclouvain.be/rec/index.php/rec/about/submissions

Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen

Deadline: December 1, 2019

The Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for one three-year PhD scholarship within the research project “Bodies as Battleground: Gender Images and International Security”. The research project is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will be employed by February 1st, 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

“Bodies as Battleground: Gender Images and International Security” addresses three themes: gender, security and images. The project starts from a discursive conception of security, an understanding of gender as cultural, and the image as open to multiple interpretations. The overall research question of the project is: "How are gender-specific security problems constituted through images?" The project employs a mixed-method strategy and is organized around four subprojects. These show the importance of historical context for how gender security problems might be shown, the relationship between levels of violence and gender representation in war photography, the way gender norms are reproduced or challenge in photographic images, and the possibilities of images to bring theoretical attention to "invisible" security problems.

The PhD scholarship

The PhD scholarship is part of a subproject that asks: ‘How are gender norms reproduced or challenged in war photography?’ This subproject will involve a qualitative analysis of photos taken by photojournalists during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The PhD student will work with textual and visual discourse analysis and collaborate with another PhD student who is conducting a quantitative analysis of the same photojournalistic dataset. This subproject is managed by Professor Lene Hansen.

Are you the right candidate?

Preferred applicants will have an interest in questions related to conflict, gender, images, and photojournalism. We are looking for candidates with strong analytical skills and proven qualitative methodological qualifications. Experience in working with textual or visual discourse analysis is an advantage but not a requirement. We accept applications under the 5+3 PhD program. Please note that students who are expecting to graduate this term and are awaiting the evaluation of their dissertation/master thesis may apply under the 5+3 program.

Please contact Professor Lene Hansen (lha@ifs.ku.dk) for a full description of the research project and more information about the position.
