Please note that sessions will likely fill earlier than the final deadline.
Geographies of Media
Co-Sponsored by the Political Geography Specialty Group, the Cultural
Geography Specialty Group, the Communication Geography Specialty Group and
Aether: The Journal of Media Geography
We are seeking papers that examine geographies of the various forms of
media, including cinema, television, the Internet, music, art, advertising,
newspapers and magazines, video and animation, etc. These sessions should
include contributions to current geographic issues surrounding these media,
beginning with constructions of space & place, culture, society, and
identity.
We are hoping to present a wide range of both topic and context and seek
participants interested in the geographical implications - social,
political, cultural, and economic - that are often contained within the
spaces and places of different forms of media. Media extend beyond their
original form and so papers should also envision these geographies as part
of a broader industrial and political complex in which culture is an
economic commodity set within the broader frame of a global and postmodern
era, and with the links between these realms and our daily lived
experiences, from our cities to streets to living rooms to imaginations.
These contexts invite inquiries into the production, distribution,
exhibition, and consumption of all types of media and we encourage critical,
pedagogical and discursive contributions. We would also welcome inquiries
from anyone wishing to assemble a special themed session, a panel session,
or act as a discussant in a session.
