Goldsmiths Leverhulme Media Research Programme: Spaces, Connections, Control
Inaugural Symposium:
Media, Diversity and Cosmopolitanism in Europe
Saturday 28 November 2009, 9:30 – 17:30
Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre
Goldsmiths, University of London
This one-day symposium facilitates a discussion on diversity and
cosmopolitanism in Europe within the context of media and European media
policy. The role of media and media policies in the construction of
individual and collective identities has been widely explored and often
studied within the context of nation states. The speakers at the
symposium will address the relationship between media (and media policy)
and diverse European populations within frameworks that are invariably
overlooked in mainstream academic and policy research.
The two main themes of the symposium are cultural diversity and
complexity in relation to media (and media policy); and cosmopolitanism.
Speakers discuss a variety of phenomena occurring on the ground in
Europe, such as transnational migration and pan-European media spheres
(e.g. Roma/Gypsy and Catholic ones), and question nation-centric
approaches to media and socio-cultural phenomena in Europe.
The keynote lecture is delivered by Zygmunt Bauman and other speakers
include
Asu Aksoy (Goldsmiths), Connie Christiansen (Roskilde University),
Adrian Favell (Aarhus University), Aniko Imre (University of Southern
California), Timea Junghaus (Arts and Culture Programme, Open Society
Institute, Budapest), Monika Metykova (Goldsmiths), Kevin Robins
(Goldsmiths), Katharine Sarikakis (University of Leeds) and Ksenija
Vidmar Horvat (University of Ljubljana).
Places are strictly limited. To book a place please email Elisabeth
