CfP “Digital Pasts and Futures"
Dea colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to our Call-for-Papers. Abstracts we most welcome. Fergal Lenehan “Digital Pasts and Futures: Internet Histories, Digital Interculturality and Reimagining Digitality” Call-for-Papers: The Fourth ReDICo (Researching Digital Interculturality Co-operatively) Conference Online, 23-24 June 2025 In this conference we would like to bring together scholars who engage with internet histories, digital futures and digital interculturality so as to initiate a discussion regarding the reimagining of digitality, not least its relationship to interculturality. We are, thus, interested in wide and interdisciplinary approaches that go beyond the presentism that often marks media and communication studies, while also engaging with alternative visions of how digitality can be construed, not least from an intercultural perspective. For more details see:🔗[1] Please send an abstract (250 words) of your intended paper to: redico@uni-jena.de by 28 February 2025. It is intended that a selection of the papers presented will be published following a peer review process in book form, funding pending, with the transcript Publishing House in the Series “Studies in Digital Interculturality”[2]. The conference is without fees, completely online and is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). Keynote speakers that have already been confirmed include Prof. Valérie Schafer (University of Luxembourg), Associate Prof. Helle Strandgaard Jensen (Aarhus University), Prof. Ethan Zuckerman (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) and Prof. Ramesh Srinivasan (University of California, Los Angeles). apl.
