For those of you heading to ICA in Prague, check out this FREE symposium that might be of interest to AoIR folks next Monday. We are hoping to get a good conversation going between a lot of adjacent (but not always collaborative) subfields. <https://jussiparikka.net/2018/04/05/reframing-media-objects-sites-histories-in-prague/> https://jussiparikka.net/2018/04/05/reframing-media-objects- sites-histories-in-prague/ *Reframing Media: Objects, Sites, Histories* May 21, 2018 2pm-530pm FAMU in Prague Smetanovo nábřeží 2, room U1 RSVP: http://bit.ly/reframingmedia Media studies has opened up new avenues of research across fields, helping to reframe the objects, sites, and histories of scholarly inquiry, providing a way to challenge accepted historical layers of social and technical arrangements. This symposium draws together critical intersections with media, applying postcolonial and feminist theories to contextualize and frame the mediated landscape, both past and present. Drawing from a variety of entangled theories and methodologies, authors engage with a variety of approaches, providing new insights for scholars from an array of backgrounds. This symposium also engages media itself through a media archaeological approach, reframing and interrogating our media so as to shed new understanding to our hyper-mediated world. Please join us for an engaging symposium.
