Dear Colleagues,

I enclose some information about a forthcoming conference organised by the Centre for Cultural Studies Research at UEL and Livingmaps.  Full information  is available from the conference website :www.rethinking1968.today

Owing to  someone dropping out we are looking for an additional presenter  for this  afternoon workshop:

6 ‘We are the Writing on Your Walls’: changing media of political discourse from agitprop to ‘fake news’

How has the advent of social media changed the idioms of popular democratic struggle, and to what extent has the performative aspect of direct action been reinforced or recuperated by these new digital platforms ? Can communities of practice emerging from network culture, especially amongst young people, replace entrenched hierarchies of power?
Iain Boal, Dan McQuillan and A.N.Other

Introduced and chaired by Syd Jeffers 

15- 20 minutes is allowed for each presentation .If you are interested can you send me a short summary of your proposed presentation  and a short biog.

Look forward to hearing from you.
