CALL FOR PAPERS - APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING OR DUPLICATE MESSAGES
The Working Group for Media Production Analyses of the International
Association for Media and Communication Research invites submissions for the
IAMCR Congress in Stockholm, Sweden (July 20-25, 2008).
This Working Group provides a venue for researchers of media production.
The working group focuses on different technologies, organizational contexts
and genres to grasp the internal and external dynamics of media production
processes. Comparisons between technologies, organizational contexts and
genres are relevant. Other focal points are methodological aspects:
production ethnography in general, problems and strategies of access or
publication, and the theoretical grounding of methods. Empirical studies
are obviously welcome. It is an explicit aim to include and encourage
studies of media convergence: the 'new media'. These media and the
production processes related to them represent an explicit challenge for the
field of production studies, but other challenges emerge from new types of
media economy, forces of convergence and globalization, decreasing publicly
funded media, and conglomerate economics.
