PhD feedback workshop
+++++++++++++++++++++
In the afternoon of 4 May, from 14:00 until 17:00, a PhD feedback
workshop will be organised. There is a maximum of 10 places available,
which will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. During the
feedback workshop, two parallel sessions will be organised, moderated by
Nico Carpentier and Tobias Olsson respectively. Each professor will give
feedback to 5 PhD projects. The working language will be English.
Participants are required to write a 1500-word paper on their PhD
project as a whole. This should be a report of the student’s ongoing
doctoral research and not a conventional conference paper or a report of
findings. Rather, it is expected that the student will briefly present
the focus of the research and then take up the following key aspects of
the research process: theory, methodology, design, (expected) empirical
outcomes and timing.
Important dates for PhD workshop: Applications for participation in the
PhD workshop should be received before 1 April 2018. The paper should be
emailed before 16 April 2018 to Anna Henriksson, at
[log in to unmask] This deadline cannot be extended.

Hotels are to be paid by each individual participant. A number of rooms
have been reserved for the conference at the Akademihotellet. Use

Keynote abstract (day 2)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
From Non-Media-Centric Media Studies to Everyday-Life Studies with a
Non-Representational Theoretical Emphasis
Shaun Moores
What are 'non-media-centric media studies'? Is that not a contradiction
in terms? Might such investigations point towards the institutional
formation of an interdisciplinary field with a name like 'everyday-life
studies'? What are 'non-representational' theories? How could media
studies, or even everyday-life studies, possibly be done with a
non-representational theoretical emphasis, given the centrality of the
concept of representation for media analysis since the 1970s and the
inheritance of a broader linguistic or cultural-constructionist turn in
the humanities and social sciences?
This keynote paper, given by one of the main advocates of a
non-media-centric perspective, is an attempt to provide straightforward
answers to that series of questions, making the argument for a future
shift from non-media-centric media studies to everyday-life studies with
a non-representational theoretical emphasis. Shaun Moores will discuss
the work of, amongst others, David Morley (media and communications),
Nigel Thrift (geography), Maurice Merleau-Ponty (philosophy), Tim Ingold
and Sarah Pink (both anthropology), exploring approaches that assert the
primacy of practice or movement, and, in the process, challenging ideas
about the primacy of representation or of the cognitive and the
symbolic. There will also be some discussion of the political and
empirical-research implications of a turn to non-representational
theories of practice, with particular reference to the work of Pierre
Bourdieu (sociology).
