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. Accommodation and contact data ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hotels are to be paid by each individual participant. A number of rooms have been reserved for the conference at the Akademihotellet. Use booking code 121878 when making a booking.

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). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Professor Nico Carpentier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web: http://nicocarpentier.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RESPUBLIKA!
