Dear members,
This is a reminder that the call deadline for the ICA pre-conference,
Powers of Promotion: Apprehending the Social and Political impacts of Promotional Culture, is approaching.
The conference, co-sponsored by the Public Relations, Popular Communication and Political Communication divisions of the ICA, aims to create a multidisciplinary approach to promotional
activities and bring together researchers from cultural studies, political communication and public relations.
The conference is a one-day conference (8 June 2016) with two parallel sessions of panels and keynote speaker Professor
Shunya Yoshimi, Vice-President and Professor of Sociology, Cultural Studies and Media Studies at the University of Tokyo. We plan to have a maximum of 60 people attending, and aim to create an
intimate atmosphere and lively discussions over the day with an in-house lunch and coffee breaks.
The Finnish Institute in Japan is generously providing us with the locale in downtown Tokyo.. For more details, please see the pre-conference website at:
