The editors of The Goose, Imaginations Journal, and Engaged Scholar Journal are co-organizing a special issue on sustainable publishing. This journal issue comes out of conversations about low-carbon research dissemination and publishing practices at a conference panel organized by the editors at the CCA Annual Conference in Toronto, 2023. We seek to bring together scholars, artists, librarians, and practitioners to explore aspects of social and environmental sustainability within scholarly publishing, while experimenting with publishing form. This innovative issue will be platformed across the three open-access journals with a shared table of contents. Our hope is to use this issue, alongside other forums, to build community around more sustainable, equitable, and low-carbon publishing and push for structural changes in the sector. Submissions are welcome in English and in French and may be submitted to any of the three hosting journals. Questions and inquiries can be directed to Rachel Jekanowski (rjekanowski at mun.ca), Margot Mellet (margot.mellet at umontreal.ca), and Brent Ryan Bellamy (brent.ryan.bellamy at gmail.com).

Please find the detailed bilingual invitation below. C?est avec grand plaisir que nous lan?ons cet appel ? articles pour un num?ro sp?cial du Canadian Journal of Communication. Veuillez prendre connaissance de l?invitation bilingue d?taill?e ci-dessous. Andrew Herman (Wilfrid Laurier University) & Guillaume Latzko-Toth (Universit? Laval) Guest Editors / ?diteurs invit?s (French version follows) CJC Special Issue Reimagining Canadian Communication Thought It has been almost 25 years since Robert Babe published Canadian Communication Thought: Ten Foundational Writers (Babe, 2000). In his book, Babe attempted to create a canon of ?Canadian Communication Thought? based on a consideration of influences, themes, and conceptual dispositions of ten disparate Canadian scholars and cultural practitioners that, from his perspective, represented a coherent (if heterogenous) approach to communication which was identifiably and distinctively Canadian. For Babe, each of the ten theorists represented a significant departure from the theories of communication and methodologies of empirical research that dominated communication studies in the United States from the mid- to late twentieth century. Positioned outside of yet in close proximity to the US, these scholars developed an approach to communication (and culture) that shared a suite of distinctive intellectual dispositions. First, their work was ?dialectical? in its mode of reasoning and analysis and, as such, foregrounded a critical bearing towards the dynamics of power in media, communication, and culture. Second, this critical, dialectical framework attuned this collective body of work to the focus of critical political economy with concern for the intertwined power of the state and capital(ism). Third, according to Babe, these scholars were overtly concerned with the mediations of everyday life produced by technologies of media and communication. Fourth, such mediations were seen as inextricably linked with the ?ontologies? of identity and community in Canada, ontologies which were also very much rooted in the particularities of the Canadian landscape as well as Canada?s social, political and economic development as a ?counter-revolutionary? settler colony at the periphery of an empire. From Babe?s perspective, it is the articulation and confluence of these characteristics that generated a mode of theorizing about communication that was ?quintessentially Canadian?. Babe?s project of creating a foundational canon of ?Canadian Communication Thought? was certainly ambitious, especially in terms of staging a tableau of such a diverse array of intellectual figures, ranging from Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, Gertrude Robinson, George Grant, and Dallas Smythe to C.B. McPherson, Northrup Frye, Graham Spry, John Grierson, and Irene Spry. But it was also audacious in its determination to find a through line of a ?quintessentially Canadian? mode of conceptualizing communication that united these diverse figures under the common nationalist signifier of ?Canadian Communication Thought?. However one assesses the validity of choosing this particular group of scholars and attempting to fit them within a common framework of interpretation, as the CJC review of the book argued, ?What the book asserts by virtue of its existence is perhaps of as much importance as the claims within it? (Dowler, 2001:570). That is to say, the idea of a coherent intellectual topos that can be named and recognized as ?Canadian Communication Thought? matters as much -if not more- than the particulars of its inhabitants and borders that Babe sought to map. Almost 25 years after the publication of Babe?s book, we propose a special issue of the CJC devoted to the reassessment of, and perhaps more importantly, reimagining of the intellectual project of ?Canadian Communication Thought?. Babe?s project was very much constructed as a backward-looking, historical accounting of the formation of something Babe could delineate as ?Canadian Communication Thought?. With the exception of Gertrude Joch Robinson, all of Babe?s foundational figures made their intellectual careers and mark in the dark heart of the mid-twentieth century and had passed on well before the dawn of the 21st century. As such, the time(s) and place(s) of their Canada is very much different from ours. Moreover, the positionality of Babe's foundational figures was very white, very anglophone, very Upper Canada and Ontario centric, and, with the exception of Gertrude Robinson and Irene Spry, very male. Accordingly, the ?solitudes? of Babe?s canon of ?Canadian Communication Thought? are myriad, and if the concept of ?Canadian Communication Thought? is to have any coherent salience in the 21st century, their hermetic boundaries must be breached by inviting diverse voices from different positionalities into a conversation about what the concept might mean going forward into the future. Accordingly, in this issue we seek article submissions that address one or more of the following questions: 1. Is the continued assertion of the existence of Canadian Communication thought as a coherent intellectual topos still a virtue in the contemporary moment of the near mid-21st century? If so, how would or should we imagine its terrain, and what itineraries of inquiry would be appropriate in mapping it? 2. What makes this intellectual space distinctively ?Canadian?? Is it necessary or sufficient for a scholar or school of thought to be Canadian by nationality, residence, or institutional affiliation? Or is it more appropriate to argue that ?Canadian Communication Thought? is a topos or a territorially emplaced imaginary of theory and analysis that is defined by distinctive conceptual articulations of media, communication, and technology rather than a geographic or national identity? 3. What would a topos of Canadian Communication Thought look like from different positionalities that characterize the multicultural Canadian present?Indigenous, francophone, POC, Black Canadian, South Asian, queer, LGTBQ2S+, and so on? 4. What are the possible articulations of the key theoretical/conceptual paradigms that have emerged and characterized Canadian Communication Thought in the 21st century, including (but certainly not limited to): feminist media and communications studies; materialist medium theory and analysis; post-colonial and decolonial approaches to media, communication, and technology; critical infrastructure studies; critical political economy and policy studies; critical internet studies; media history and media archaeology; and so on? Format and Editorial Priorities This bilingual special issue will gather two types of contributions: 1) full-length research articles (7000-8000 words) that reflect on/problematize epistemic and ontological features of Canadian communication thought and 2) shorter interventions (2500-3000 words) that offer a synthesis of a certain stream of theory or conceptual work, a ?school of thought? or a specific approach that is representative of Canadian communication thought in its diversity. We invite scholars based in Canadian academic institutions and scholars from around the world with an interest in the topic to submit work. Please note that we are especially interested in receiving submissions from Indigenous scholars, emerging scholars and scholars representing visible minorities. We also welcome both English and French-language submissions. Abstracts should be 400 words for an article proposal and 250 words for an intervention proposal; they should include a title, type of submission, and contact information, including a short bio (50 words for each author).

Num?ro th?matique du CJC R?imaginer la pens?e canadienne en communication Il s'est ?coul? pr?s de 25 ans depuis la publication de l?ouvrage Canadian Communication Thought: Ten Foundational Writers par Robert Babe (Babe, 2000). Dans son livre, Babe a tent? de produire un canon de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? en s?appuyant sur les influences, les th?mes et les appareils conceptuels de dix chercheur.es et praticien.nes culturel.les canadien.nes disparates qui, selon lui, repr?sentaient une approche coh?rente (bien qu?h?t?rog?ne) de la communication, identifiable et distinctement canadienne. Pour Babe, chacun.e des dix th?oricien.nes repr?sentait une divergence significative par rapport aux th?ories de la communication et aux m?thodologies de recherche empirique qui dominaient les ?tudes en communication aux ?tats-Unis du milieu ? la fin du vingti?me si?cle. Situ?s en dehors des ?tats-Unis tout en ?tant en ?troite proximit? avec eux, ces auteurs et autrices ont d?velopp? une approche de la communication (et de la culture) partageant un ensemble de dispositions intellectuelles distinctives. Premi?rement, leur travail ?tait ? dialectique ? dans son mode de raisonnement et d?analyse et, en tant que tel, mettait en avant une attitude critique envers les dynamiques de pouvoir dans les m?dias, la communication et la culture. Deuxi?mement, ce cadre critique et dialectique a permis ? ce travail collectif de s'inscrire dans le cadre de l'?conomie politique critique et de s'int?resser au pouvoir entrelac? de l'?tat et du capital(isme). Troisi?mement, selon Babe, ces chercheurs se pr?occupaient ouvertement des m?diations de la vie quotidienne produites par les technologies des m?dias et de la communication. Quatri?mement, ces m?diations ?taient per?ues comme ?tant inextricablement li?es aux ? ontologies ? de l?identit? et de la communaut? au Canada, ontologies ?galement tr?s ancr?es dans les particularit?s du paysage canadien ainsi que dans le d?veloppement social, politique et ?conomique du Canada en tant que colonie de peuplement ? contre-r?volutionnaire ? ? la p?riph?rie d?un empire. Selon Babe, c?est l?articulation et la confluence de ces caract?ristiques qui ont g?n?r? un mode de th?orisation de la communication ? quintessentiellement canadien ?. Le projet de Babe de cr?er un canon fondamental de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? ?tait assur?ment ambitieux, ne serait-ce qu?en r?unissant un ?ventail si diversifi? de figures intellectuelles, allant de Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, Gertrude Robinson, George Grant et Dallas Smythe ? C.B. McPherson, Northrop Frye, Graham Spry, John Grierson et Irene Spry. Mais il ?tait aussi audacieux dans sa d?termination ? trouver le fil conducteur d?un mode de conceptualisation de la communication ? quintessentiellement canadien ? qui unirait ces figures diverses sous le signifiant nationaliste commun de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ?. Peu importe la mani?re dont on ?value la validit? du choix de ce groupe particulier de chercheurs et de la tentative de les int?grer dans un cadre commun d'interpr?tation, comme l'a soutenu la critique du livre dans CJC, ? ce que le livre affirme par son existence est peut-?tre aussi important que les affirmations qu'il contient ? (Dowler, 2001:570). Autrement dit, l'id?e d'un topos intellectuel coh?rent qui peut ?tre nomm? et reconnu comme ? la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? importe autant, sinon davantage, que les particularit?s de ses occupants et les fronti?res que Babe cherchait ? dessiner. Pr?s de 25 ans apr?s la publication du livre de Babe, nous proposons un num?ro sp?cial du CJC consacr? ? la r??valuation et, peut-?tre plus important encore, ? la r?imagination du projet intellectuel de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ?. Le projet de Babe ?tait essentiellement construit comme une r?trospective historique, un r?cit de la formation de quelque chose que Babe pensait pouvoir identifier comme la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ?. ? l'exception de Gertrude Joch Robinson, toutes les figures fondatrices choisies par Babe ont effectu? leurs carri?res intellectuelles et marqu? leur ?poque au beau milieu du vingti?me si?cle, et sont d?c?d?es bien avant l'aube du 21e si?cle. De ce fait, le(s) temps et le(s) lieu(x) de leur Canada sont tr?s diff?rents des n?tres. De plus, la positionnalit? des figures fondatrices de Babe ?tait tr?s blanche, tr?s anglophone, tr?s centr?e sur le Haut-Canada et l'Ontario, et, ? l'exception de Gertrude Robinson et d?Irene Spry, tr?s masculine. Par cons?quent, les ? solitudes ? du canon de Babe de la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? sont multiples, si bien que pour que le concept de ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? ait une pertinence au 21e si?cle, ses fronti?res herm?tiques doivent ?tre ?clat?es en invitant des voix diversifi?es ayant diff?rentes positionnalit?s ? participer ? une conversation sur ce que le concept pourrait signifier ? l'avenir. Par cons?quent, dans ce num?ro, nous recherchons des propositions d?articles qui abordent une ou plusieurs des questions suivantes : 1. Quelle est la vertu de l?affirmation r?it?r?e de l'existence de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne en tant que topos intellectuel coh?rent dans le contexte contemporain du presque milieu du 21e si?cle ? Si oui, comment devrions-nous imaginer son terrain, et quels itin?raires de recherche seraient appropri?s pour le cartographier ? 2. Qu'est-ce qui rend cet espace intellectuel distinctement ? canadien ? ? Est-il n?cessaire ou suffisant qu'un.e chercheur.e ou une ?cole de pens?e soit canadien.ne par nationalit?, r?sidence ou affiliation institutionnelle ? Ou est-il plus appropri? de soutenir que la ? pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ? est un topos ou un imaginaire th?orique et analytique situ?, d?fini par des articulations conceptuelles distinctives des m?dias, de la communication et de la technologie, plut?t que par une identit? g?ographique ou nationale ? 3. ? quoi ressemblerait un topos de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne vu de diff?rentes positionnalit?s caract?risant le Canada multiculturel contemporain ? autochtone, francophone, personne racis?e, canadien.ne noir.e, sud-asiatique, queer, LGBTQ2S+, etc. ? 4. Quelles sont les articulations possibles des paradigmes th?oriques/conceptuels cl?s qui ont ?merg? et qui ont caract?ris? la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne au 21e si?cle, y compris (entre autres) : les ?tudes f?ministes des m?dias et de la communication ; la th?orie et l'analyse mat?rialistes des m?dias ; les approches postcoloniales et d?coloniales des m?dias, de la communication et de la technologie ; les ?tudes critiques des infrastructures ; l'?conomie politique critique et les ?tudes de politiques ; les ?tudes critiques d'internet ; l'histoire des m?dias et l'arch?ologie des m?dias ; et ainsi de suite ? Format et approche ?ditoriale Ce num?ro sp?cial bilingue rassemblera deux types de contributions : 1) des articles de recherche approfondis (7000-8000 mots) qui r?fl?chissent aux caract?ristiques ?pist?miques et ontologiques de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne ou les probl?matisent ; et 2) des interventions plus courtes (2500-3000 mots) qui offrent une synth?se d'un courant th?orique ou conceptuel, d'une ? ?cole de pens?e ? ou d'une approche sp?cifique repr?sentative de la diversit? de la pens?e communicationnelle canadienne.

A call for papers for Emerging Media below. Please note the very tight deadline. Call for research and colloquium articles: Decolonising media futures Special issue of Emerging Media https://journals.sagepub.com/home/emm Guest editors: Donald Matheson, donald.matheson at canterbury.ac.nz Tara Ross, tara.ross at canterbury.ac.nz Zita Joyce, zita.joyce at canterbury.ac.nz Research articles and colloquium articles are invited for this special issue. Deadline for submissions: 15 September 2024. Media technologies are not neutral, but reflect the societies and cultures in which they arise and are made use of. A key issue for scholarship on emerging media is, then, the extent to which emerging media structures, forms and practices reproduce inequities and biases in society and culture and thereby privilege the interests and perspectives of some groups over others. That issue also has a flip side, that is, the extent to which groups that have been historically marginalised, colonised or disempowered can shape a different media future. These concerns are global ones and raise questions about how large-scale and enduring power imbalances between people can be critiqued or challenged. This special issue will contribute to this project of decolonising communication by drawing together work that explores emerging media in terms of the interests and understandings of those who have been colonised, including systematically oppressed groups, indigenous people and groups who have been structurally excluded from communication. That work may include: - analysis of the challenges and opportunities experienced in decolonising media projects - conceptual work on what emerging media mean in indigenous contexts - critique by indigenous scholars of neo-colonial practices in digital media - data sovereignty projects in the global South - research on the consequences of specific technologies such as AI for decolonisation Original research articles (up to 6000 words): Submission of articles is invited, to be double-blind peer reviewed in addition to the special issue editors. Acceptance will be offered after peer review. Invitations will be made on the basis of excellence rather than a spread of contributions or authors. A special invitation to submit is extended to scholars from the global South, from indigenous scholars or researchers foregrounding the perspectives of those involved in decolonising media. Colloquium articles (up to 3000 words): Articles will be reviewed by the editorial team. Researchers with ongoing work that promises to develop the field or lead to significant findings are invited to submit articles that set out highlights of their research, such as their research goals, the ways they have collaborated with communities or civil society groups, the innovativeness of their approach or is otherwise distinctive. No author processing charges or other payment from authors will be required. The deadline for submissions is 15 September 2024. Please email one of the guest editors if you have any questions.

For film archivists, the element is the inert container of audiovisual content subject to archival care and maintenance?the original artifact and source of any material or digital copies to come. Indeed, across scholarly and archival spheres alike, the element has remained the intrinsic foundation of the moving image, its archival preservation, and the theoretical study thereof. Whereas Caroline Frick has considered the ways that ?original? media elements become bound up with notions of authenticity, cultural heritage, and nationhood, scholar-practitioners have increasingly turned to what Giovanna Fossati calls film?s ?archival life,? a term that seeks to discursively address the expanding myriad of physical and digital spaces required in contemporary preservation. How, Fossati posits, might scholars and archivists alike better account for the ways that film and media are at once preserved, historized and politicized by archival processes? In other words, what might be gained from reflecting seriously on how different kinds of media traverse the archival sphere? What happens when a given audiovisual element also becomes an archival one? This issue of Media Fields seeks to build on these conversations by examining how the proliferation and mediation of the archive and its elements is productive. Contemporary archival elements are often integrated into processes involving other forms of media, such as database and metadata development, digitization, interactive and public-facing archival digital interfaces, and larger multimedia collections. We ask: what kinds of political, theoretical, and practical connections arise when thinking about and doing the archive in these different spatial ways ?traditional, alternative, or otherwise?and how might we better place these approaches in discursive conjunction with one another? Further, what are new ways in which theory (archival and otherwise) might intervene and inform archival practice, and historicizing therein? In turn, what does this mean for the (after)lives of the media themselves? The Media Fields Editorial Collective at UC Santa Barbara?s Department of Film and Media Studies welcomes submissions that critically engage the connections between space, media, and archival practice. We seek essays of 1500?2500 words, digital art projects, and interviews from scholars and practitioners alike. Potential submission topics include, but are not limited to: * Preservation: Precarity and decay, fragility, physicality, ontologies of the film and media archive and its objects, broadly construed * Cataloging: Metadata organization, archival etymology, reparative description and taxonomies, hierarchical data structures * Collection management: Power and ethics, restitution and social justice, collections policy, community oversight, institutional and/or community-based funding structures * Memory: Personal, collective, historical and/or cultural memories, archival modes of erasure, loss, and silence * Curation: Accessibility, community engagement, digital interfaces * Provenance: Found footage, orphan films, transnational displacement * Archival space: Traditional institutions, digital databases, garages, basements Past Media Fields issues and submission guidelines may be found at mediafieldsjournal.org. Please email all inquiries and submissions to issue co-editors Kelsey Moore and Hannah Garibaldi at submissions at mediafieldsjournal.org by October 31, 2024. -- Media Fields Conference | http://mediafields.wordpress.com/ Media Fields Journal | http://www.mediafieldsjournal.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Today the Global Media & Internet Concentration Project is releasing three new reports - and updating two others - that portray recent development and concentration trends in a swathe of communication, internet and media industries: - The Austria report was prepared by: Sergio Sparviero; Mariia Aleksevych; Christian Wazner; Tales Tomaz; Josef Trappel, all University of Salzburg - The Chile report was prepared by: Guillermo Mastrini; Mart?n Becerra, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes; Ana Bizberge, Universidad Nacional de San Mart?n; Ornela Carboni, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes; Agust?n Espada, CONICET; Florencia Sosa, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. - The Mexico report was prepared by Rodrigo G?mez, Universidad Aut?noma Metropolitana-Cuajimalpa; Argelia Mu?oz-Larroa, Universidad Nacional Aut?noma de M?xico-CISAN; Orlando Rizo Mendoza, Universidad Aut?noma Metropolitana-Cuajimalpa; Carlos P?rez Cer?n, Universidad Aut?noma Metropolitana-Xochimilco - The previously released Australia and China reports have just been updated and are also newly available. These follow editions we have published in the last few months on the state of media and internet concentration in India, Canada, Italy, France and South Korea. Others will be out soon - including the United States,Turkey, Denmark, Portugal and Spain - with the end goal a library of regularly updated reports for all of the nearly 40 countries that make up the GMICP. These reports are rich with insights into growth and concentration trends within media and communication sectors in these countries, as well as key regulatory developments. For instance: - Chile leads the continent in per-capita mobile and internet access, this despite high ownership concentration in these sectors and limited regulatory guardrails - MVNOs represent a burgeoning presence in the Mexican wireless sector, with 9% of subscriber lines in 2023, catalysed in large part by the government's Red Compartida public infrastructure project - Austria shares some similarities with the Mexican case in that Carlos Slim's subsidiary, A1, dominates both wireline and wireless in the same way that America Movil does in its home country - Familiar US tech giants dominate core internet sectors in all of these markets, although all 3 research teams report the same problem of a lack of transparency in data disclosed by these companies Finally: - Please review any of our reports and the underlying data sets here. - We invite other researchers to contribute their expertise to our efforts ? please reach out to us here.

This is the Feminist Archive: Canadian Film & Video 1970s-1990s The four events in the series, screenings accompanied by conversations with the artists, recontextualize feminist film and video work as constitutive of archival futures; a future imperfect: what will be seen to have been. Too often, feminism is narrated and historicized as wholly outdated/transphobic/racist, invisibilizing BIPOC feminists who were leaders in the Canadian feminist movement and its art practice. Feminists themselves may attempt to disavow previous iterations of the movement. And yet, many examples of early feminist video engage, or invent avant-garde strategies, while also engaging in intersectional interrogations. The delimiting of the history of feminisms implicitly excludes much of the intersectional cultural work that was central to feminist projects. This is especially pertinent as American hegemony ? the undoing of abortion rights, the war on trans bodies ? continues to inform local and national contexts in Canada. The films and videos in the programs come from the last three decades of the 20th century when feminist political organizing was inextricable with women?s cultural production. ?Bodies at Risk?, will be September 20, 2024 7-9PM at Vtape (401 Richmond Street West, Suite 452). The program focuses on gendered expression and the feminist body. The screening will be followed by a conversation between curator and artist, Marusya Bociurkiw and artists, Helen Lee, Kay Armatage and Cheryl L'Hirondelle. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Coordonn? par le GdT Gouvernance et r?gulation d?Internet La fragmentation d?Internet d?signe l??clatement de l?espace public transnational permis par ce r?seau de r?seaux en fragments incompatibles et inaccessibles entre eux, selon des fronti?res g?opolitiques, commerciales ou encore technologiques. Ces derni?res ann?es, de nombreux ?v?nements ont affermi les craintes d?un tel sc?nario. Ils ne se limitent pas aux pays autoritaires : la d?cision de bloquer X au Br?sil, TikTok en Nouvelle-Cal?donie ou encore OpenDNS sur l?ensemble du territoire fran?ais, montre que des pays d?mocratiques contribuent aussi ? de telles tendances centrifuges.

Pause caf? 11h30 ? 13h D?coloniser l?IA g?n?rative : discussion ouverte entre artistes et chercheurs Coordonn? par le GdT IA, art et cr?ativit? Ce panel propose de r?unir des artistes, des d?veloppeurs et des chercheurs pour discuter des logiques coloniales sous-jacentes ? la production et aux usages des IA dites g?n?ratives. Que ce soit sur la question de la langue, des repr?sentations, ou du genre, les IA g?n?ratives semblent marqu?es d?un h?ritage colonial. ? l?aune de ce constat, nous pouvons nous questionner sur la mani?re dont les mouvements des ? langues ? faibles ressources ? sont repr?sent?s dans les IA. Comment des artistes noirs ou indig?nes s?engagent dans les red teams ; deviennent b?ta-testeurs ou d?ploient leurs propres mod?les (comme Black in AI) pour participer ? la co-construction et ? l?ajustement des identit?s culturelles dans les images ou textes produits par les IA ? Nous vous proposons un polylogue o? se m?lent travaux scientifiques et artistiques, suivis par un d?bat. Mod?rateur Antoine Henry (Universit? de Lille) Intervenant?es ? confirmer 13h ? 14h30 ? Pause d?jeuner (buffet) 14h30 ? 16h Patrimoine et histoire du code Coordonn? par le GdT Patrimoines et m?moires du num?rique Ce panel souhaite explorer l??volution du patrimoine et de l?histoire des codes, que ce soit sous l?influence de la pr?servation des codes source, notamment par la fondation Software Heritage depuis 2016, ou encore d?un renouvellement historiographique, port? par exemple par les Critical Code Studies. Nous discuterons les processus, approches, m?diations, guidant la pr?servation des codes sources avec Roberto Di Cosmo, mais aussi des recherches en cours, avec Mathilde Fichen, Tita?na Kauffmann et Baptiste M?l?s, au cours de ce panel, organis? par Benjamin Thierry et Val?rie Schafer et mod?r? par Camille Paloque-Berges.

Pause caf? 16h20 ? 17h50 R?guler le num?rique : enjeux et perspectives Coordonn? par le GdT Capitalisme num?rique et id?ologies DMA, DSA, IA Act, etc. Dans un contexte de multiplication des textes de loi relatifs au num?rique et aux solutions d?IA, et dans la continuit? des travaux du s?minaire, la table sera consacr?e ? la pr?sentation de travaux ? la crois?e des sciences politiques, de la sociologie et des STS. Il s?agira de d?passer, renverser ou repartir de l?adage de L. Lessig ? code is law ? en mettant en lumi?re les enjeux d?acteurs ? l?origine de cette refonte r?glementaire. Le droit sera ici appr?hend? comme une construction, fruit de n?gociations et rapports de force, illustrant et performant un syst?me d?int?r?ts ?conomiques.

A detailed description of the content guidelines appears below. Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. The deadline for submissions is 31 March 2025. Issue description and content guidelines Digital platforms dominate modern life; one of the areas where they are most influential and prominent is in the creation and dissemination of cultural capital. Cultural capital is a term first defined by the sociologist Pierre Bourdeau in the 1970s. It has been widely used within this discipline as an explanation for how power in societies is transferred and maintained. Bourdeau identified three types of cultural capital: 1. Objective?cultural goods, such as books, films, music and art, which confer social status and convey to others where one is located in the social hierarchy. 2. Embodied?the language, knowledge, skills, behaviors and preferences internalized by an individual, which can be derived from one?s family and social class, as well as from media consumption. 3. Institutionalized?the qualifications and educational credentials that are recognized and validated by a society. Digital platforms, such as Google, Meta, TikTok, Alibaba and Spotify, have had a huge impact on all three types of cultural capital, both at the producer and the consumer level. Those who produced objective cultural capital in the past in traditional cultural industries have had to transform their operations to fit within the algorithmic and marketing structures of digital platforms. Furthermore, those who consume objective cultural capital have found that the lines separating traditional hierarchies of ?high? and ?popular? cultural capital have blurred to the point where they often cease to have a meaning as demarcations of social status. The nature of embodied cultural capital has also changed to include a more diverse array of languages, behaviors and preferences that are often decoupled from the familial, class and national norms that shaped them in the past. While some celebrate the increased diversity and accessibility of cultural capital made possible by digital platforms, others argue that both cultural capital and civil discourse have been debased by this transformation. Institutional aspects of cultural capital have also been transformed, as what is marketable in a platform environment sometimes bears little resemblance to the professional qualifications that individuals have invested years of their lives to obtain. The creative labor market is therefore becoming increasingly contingent, where precarity is the norm and monetization often relies on algorithmic decisions beyond the creators? control rather than on the quality or extent of professional credentials. This Special Issue invites contributions from across the social sciences disciplines?including economics, education, cultural studies, media and information studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science and public policy?that examine the many ways in which cultural capital is articulated and transformed through digital platforms. Both empirical and theoretical contributions are welcome, as are multidisciplinary collaborations that address implications for people, policies, practice and future trends. M.

Entre r?el et fiction, les m?dias de l?Antiquit? ? nos jours ? Avec les fake news et les deep fakes, la question de l??cart entre la fiction et la non-fiction est devenue centrale dans les d?bats contemporains. Au-del? de ces discours, on observe la prolif?ration de genres qui jouent un autre jeu : dire une v?rit? sous couvert de fiction, utiliser un habillage (un genre) fictionnel pour "mieux" dire la v?rit? : l?auto-fiction, le documentaire d'animation? Le Congr?s vise ? explorer les rapports entre r?el et fiction dans les productions m?diatiques. La SPHM se propose de mettre cette question en perspective historique, dans la longue dur?e, au-del? d?un genre ou d?une technique donn?e. La distinction n?a jamais eu l??vidence que paraissent assumer les d?bats qui opposent les deux termes. Nous proposons quatre axes qui invitent ? penser les fronti?res entre la mise en sc?ne du r?el et celle de la fiction dans les organes m?diatiques. Dispositifs techniques (axe 1), formats et genres narratifs (axe 2), politique et information (axe 3), publics et usages (axe 4) pourront ?tre interrog?s dans les communications. Ces approches ne sont pas exclusives les unes des autres et peuvent se croiser dans les communications pr?sent?es. Tous les travaux analysant les ph?nom?nes m?diatiques dans une perspective diachronique sont bienvenus. L?ensemble des th?matiques de recherche, mais aussi des m?thodologies (travail en archives, enqu?tes orales, analyses des contenus, analyses de donn?es massives, ?conomie des m?dias?) sont attendues pour ce congr?s qui marque les 25 ans de la SPHM. Les recherches pr?sent?es peuvent se placer du point de vue des producteurs et/ou enqu?ter sur les ph?nom?nes d?usage et de r?ception. On se limitera seulement aux m?dias du r?el? ceux ayant ?t? invent?s par la (science-)fiction sont exclus. 1. Aux fronti?res des dispositifs techniques Les analyses contribuant ? historiciser la relation entre r?el et fiction dans les m?dias au travers des dispositifs techniques sont attendues. Les montages photographiques, sonores et vid?os, les effets sp?ciaux (du trucage classique aux deep fakes cr??s par des outils d?intelligence artificielle) permettent de cr?er des images et des r?cits d?une vraisemblance de plus en plus saisissante. Ces techniques permettent non seulement de transformer le r?el, mais aussi de produire des fictions si convaincantes qu?elles peuvent ?tre per?ues comme r?elles. Le faux, le trucage, le montage, le collage, le remix, mais aussi toutes les ?volutions technologiques li?es aux m?dias permettant d?estomper les fronti?res entre fiction et r?el pourront ?tre interrog?es sous l?angle des technologies utilis?es, de leurs usages, de la production comme de la r?ception, et des imaginaires et controverses qu?ils produisent, et ce depuis les premiers pas de la presse, du cin?ma ou encore de la radio. Il convient ?galement d?interroger et de remettre en perspective le tournant num?rique et celui des r?seaux socionum?riques notamment, pour penser leur impact sur la relation au r?el et ? la fiction, dans ce que certains ont pu qualifier d? ??re post-v?rit??. Cette porosit? accrue entre fiction et r?el pose aussi des enjeux intellectuels, politiques, l?gaux, ?thiques qui peuvent ?tre remis en perspective. L?apparition des fact-checkers ou encore l?analyse des controverses li?es ? ces enjeux, que ce soient des d?bats grand public ou plus professionnels et l?histoire des dispositifs de r?gulation et de r?glementation, sont ?galement attendus. 1. Aux fronti?res des formats et des genres narratifs La question des formats et des genres narratifs est au c?ur de l?histoire des m?dias. Le format d?abord, car il est ? l?intersection d?une approche ?conomique des productions culturelles et m?diatiques, et d?une approche s?miologique : quelle est la forme concr?te, mat?rielle, esth?tique de ce que l?on produit ? ses contraintes ? quelles attentes est-ce que cela induit pour le producteur, le diffuseur, les r?cepteurs ? Quel rapport au r?el doit entretenir un programme pour ?tre diffus? dans la case ?documentaire? plut?t que ?divertissement? d?une cha?ne de t?l?vision ? La description du r?el entra?ne aussi le recours ? des formes narratives reconnaissables et codifi?es : du po?me ?pique au ?style journalistique?, en passant bien s?r par toutes les genres semi-fictionnels (enqu?te, biographie, satire) voire fictionnels (romance, ?pop?e, com?die, m?lodrame), dont il s?agira de mesurer/d?expliquer les effets et/ou l??volution dans le temps. Ainsi, aux ?poques anciennes et m?di?vales, les ?pop?es telles que L?Illiade ou La Chanson de Roland m?laient ?l?ments fictifs et r?els, transmettant une vision du monde, des valeurs mais aussi des informations pour instruire et ?difier. A l?inverse, la satire et la parodie grossissent certains aspects du r?el ou de fictions c?l?bres pour provoquer le rire, la r?flexion et parfois la contestation. D?autres genres sont essentiels ici : la lettre a ?t? largement diffus?e (diss?min?) comme porteuse de nouvelles, en m?me temps elle a jou? sans cesse des fronti?res entre la lettre litt?raire (depuis les H?ro?des d?Ovide) et d?autres genres ? pr?tention r?aliste. La lettre produit un effet de r?el, avec des contenus vari?s selon les ?poques (l?apparition de la cat?gorie de l?intime aux XVIIIe et XIXe si?cles). L?histoire de la presse montre en tout cas que cette porosit? des formats et des genres narratifs est apparue tr?s t?t. Elle est m?me au c?ur des mod?les ?ditoriaux de la presse d?Ancien R?gime, p?riode de t?tonnement mais aussi de grande libert? dans l?exploration des rapports entre r?el et fiction. L?entr?e dans la ?civilisation du journal? a pu donner bien s?r l?impression d?une rationalisation et d?une stabilisation. Mais m?me l??mergence du roman-feuilleton n?a pas ?t? synonyme de compl?te autonomisation de la fiction dans l?espace mat?riel du journal : le succ?s de la case-feuilleton a conduit ? de ?multiples effets de circulation entre le haut et le bas de page? (Th?renty, 2010) et donc ? une fictionnalisation de l?ensemble des genres journalistiques. Plus r?cemment, l?hybridation des narrations dans les m?dias, par exemple ? travers les documentaires et films t?l?vis?s, les expositions ou le spectacle vivant d?di?s ? l?histoire? Ces projets qui font se croiser archives authentiques et reconstitutions t?moignent de la (con)fusion des genres. On pourrait en dire de m?me de la t?l?-r?alit?, o? ?la r?alit?? est hautement sc?naris?e, depuis son origine. Ces formats invitent ? une r?flexion sur la mani?re dont le r?el et la fiction sont pr?sent?s et per?us (et sur les ?volutions des discours et perceptions). On peut aussi se demander si l?hybridation des formats et le m?lange des genres narratifs sont une production nouvelle de la (post-)modernit?/de l??re num?rique ou bien le signe que les productions culturelles et m?diatiques ?chappent souvent aux tentatives de d?finition et de codification qui font pourtant partie de leurs conditions m?mes d?existence ? 1. Aux fronti?res de la politique et de l?information Si la fiction peut se concevoir comme une qu?te de v?rit? (et de v?racit?), une fa?on, pour un auteur, de dire et d?interpr?ter le monde, alors il n?est pas ?tonnant d?observer sa forte pr?sence dans les m?dias d?information, des journaux du XVIIe si?cle aux r?seaux sociaux num?riques du XXIe si?cle. L?histoire des m?dias est riche de cas ?clairant la fa?on dont les fronti?res entre r?el et fiction ont transform? les pratiques journalistiques, et les codes de l?information. Plus encore, ? chaque ?poque, les processus de fictionnalisation du r?el, qu?il s?agisse d??v?nements historiques ou de th?mes d?actualit?, ont en partie contribu? ? modeler l?espace du d?bat public. Ce faisant, ils ont agi sur les syst?mes politiques eux-m?mes, ces structures ?tant fond?es sur des acteurs et des institutions, tout autant que sur des valeurs, des croyances et des imaginaires. Fabriques de r?cits pour dire les faits et ?clairer le jugement des publics, les m?dias reposent donc sur des processus de cr?ation qui, ? divers degr?s et plus ou moins intentionnellement, peuvent recourir ? des proc?d?s de fictionnalisation. Il ne faut en aucun cas y voir une d?rive r?cente d?un syst?me m?diatique contemporain aux prises avec les fake news ou la post-v?rit?. Bien au contraire, si les premi?res gazettes tentent de cr?er une neutralit? du discours en introduisant chaque nouvelle par des formules norm?es telles que ?on rapporte de Paris?? ou ?on dit ? Vienne que??, l?impr?cision et les d?lais de transmission des informations tout autant que la n?cessit? de raconter l?actualit? repr?sentent des obstacles pour des gazetiers, alors souvent contraints de ?pronostiquer?. Surtout, la presse qui s?invente alors ne pose aucune limite sur ce que seraient a priori les conditions requises pour dire le r?el. D?s lors, postures id?ales de journalistes, mises en sc?ne de situations d??nonciation imaginaires, sources d?information parfaites? fleurissent pour produire des journaux qui rapportent l?actualit? avec une diversit? ?ditoriale et r?dactionnelle riche de sens. Or, chacun de ces choix ?ditoriaux ou r?dactionnels renseigne la mani?re dont les contemporains, selon les auteurs ou les publics cibl?s, envisagent leur lien avec le r?el et sa mise en signification mais aussi le r?le qu?ils attribuent aux m?dias dans cette construction. Au XIXe si?cle, la fictionnalisation du r?el est entr?e dans un ?ge industriel avec l?essor de la presse d?information g?n?rale de masse et la conqu?te d?un public de plus en plus vaste. La presse populaire ? grand tirage fictionnalise les faits divers. Bien s?r, depuis la deuxi?me moiti? du XXe si?cle, la t?l?vision, en faisant entrer l?image anim?e dans les foyers, a bouscul? les territoires de l?information et diversifi? le lien entre r?el et fiction, et utilise le mat?riau fictionnel - notamment cin?matographique - pour aider le public ? r?fl?chir aux questions de soci?t?, d?histoire ou d?actualit?? Diffus?es en pr?ambule d?un d?bat en plateau, les ?uvres de fiction prennent ainsi un sens et une port?e renouvel?s par ce contexte de r?ception. De L?Assiette au beurre aux Guignols de l?info, du d?tournement m?diatique ? des fins politiques ? l??v?nement politique fictif, se pose alors la question du r?le de la satire et de l?humour dans les processus de fictionnalisation (jusqu?au canular) de l?information, qui renvoie ? cette interrogation : que co?te-t-il de tordre le r?el ? des fins politiques? En effet, des fake news aux deep fake g?n?r?es par l?intelligence artificielle, les trois campagnes ?lectorales de Donald Trump (2016, 2020, 2024) montrent l??tendue des risques d?mocratiques qui p?sent aujourd?hui sur l??cosyst?me informationnel num?rique, ouvert mais largement plac? sous le contr?le d?acteurs et d?int?r?ts priv?s. Dans cet axe, il s?agira d?explorer ? la lumi?re du temps long, la diversit? des rapports entre r?el et fiction dans le domaine de l?information, de comprendre la port?e politique et m?diatique des processus de transformation entre le monde des ?faits vrais? et celui des r?cits invent?s ; enfin, il s?agira d?examiner la fa?on dont cette question des fronti?res entre fiction et information a pu elle-m?me int?resser les contemporains et faire l?objets de d?bats, voire de pol?miques, au fil des si?cles. Il s?agit aussi de travailler la m?diatisation des discours et ?storytellings? des communicants politiques. 1. Aux fronti?res des publics et des usages Au cours de la longue histoire des m?dias, comment les publics dans leur diversit? appr?hendent-ils la fronti?re entre le r?el et la fiction ? Le discours des professionnel?le?s des m?dias met en ?vidence des cat?gories bien identifi?es dans les programmes, contenus fictionnels (cin?ma, fiction t?l?visuelle, radiophonique, feuilleton etc) d?une part et contenus non fictionnels de l?autre (information, reportage, documentaire, t?l?-r?alit?, etc). Les professionnel?le?s ont longtemps mobilis? cette fronti?re pour d?limiter et l?gitimer leur profession, se distinguer et ?tablir des hi?rarchies entre eux. Cette fronti?re sert par ailleurs de rep?re pour que les publics interpr?tent les contenus m?diatiques. Pourtant, ces cat?gories sont poreuses, et les contenus fictionnels sont autant porteurs d?objectivit? que les contenus non-fictionnels de mises en r?cit; et il existe plusieurs hybridations pr?sent?es comme telles (publi-reportage, docu-fiction, etc). Il faut dire que certaines ?uvres ouvertement fictionnelles produisent des effets de r?el : les lecteurs lisent la fiction comme une grille d?acc?s au r?el, y compris ? leurs propres vies. Comment se construisent les processus de r?ception des publics dans le cadre de ces r?gimes de croyances ? Si les producteur.trice.s des m?dias adressent des contenus sp?cifiques, oscillant entre r?el et fiction, en fonction de ce qu?ils anticipent des publics, comment les publics segment?s (publics ?f?minins?, ?enfantins?, ?jeunes? etc) re?oivent-ils et interpr?tent-ils ces contenus ? Comment leurs repr?sentations peuvent-elles participer ? leur adh?sion ou ? leur rejet des formules propos?es par les m?dias, par exemple autour d?enjeux sociaux, culturels et politiques, dans des contenus qu?ils consid?rent comme davantage fictionnels ou au contraire davantage documentaires ? Par exemple, le d?veloppement de t?moignages, dans la presse d?s le XIXe si?cle, ? la radio dans les ann?es 1960, ? la t?l?vision dans les ann?es 1980 et la naissance de la t?l?-r?alit?, dans les ann?es 2000 participent-ils ? une plus grande identification des publics aux r?cits et aux acteur?ice?s qu?elles mettent en lumi?re ? Par ailleurs, que ce soit en r?gime m?diatique traditionnel ou num?rique, les publics participent eux-m?mes ? la cr?ation des contenus (courrier des lecteurs, questions des auditeurs, commentaires, etc), brouillant de fait la fronti?re de l??nonciation, et questionnant les limites entre t?moignages spontan?s et fabrique m?diatique. Dans quelles mesures ces participations, qu?elles soient suscit?es ou spontan?es, contribuent-elles ? nourrir des effets de r?el l?gitimant notamment le r?le social et d?mocratique des m?dias ? Dans cet axe, nous attendons des communications portant sur les publics et sur les usages m?diatiques, ? la fois dans la construction des cat?gories du r?el et de la fiction, et dans leur r?ception. Les recherches peuvent ?tre men?es dans une vari?t? de perspectives allant de l'ethnographie des publics et des pratiques m?diatiques ? l?analyse des contenus m?diatiques pr?vus pour des publics segment?s. Les propositions de communications sont ? envoyer en format .docx avant le 12 novembre 2024 ?: CongresSPHM2025 at gmail.com Elles ne doivent pas d?passer 300 mots, et pr?senter ? la fois la probl?matique de la recherche et sa m?thodologie : sources exploit?es, terrains explor?s. Une bibliographie de cette recherche est attendue en fin de proposition, ainsi que 5 mots clefs. Les autrices et auteurs seront pr?venu?e?s le 17 d?cembre 2024 si leur projet est retenu pour le congr?s de juin.

English version CALL FOR PROPOSALS 25th Annual Conference of the French Society for Media History (SPHM) : Media at the crossroads between reality and fiction (from Ancient Times till present) Campus Condorcet (Aubervilliers, France), June 4-6, 2024 With the growing contemporary concerns about fake news and deep fakes, the question of the decreasing space between fiction and non-fiction has become central. But at the same time, new genres and hybrids that play a different game are also proliferating: telling the truth under the guise of fiction, using a fictional guise (the conventions of specific narrative genre) to ?better? tell the truth as in self-fiction, animated documentaries, etc. The 25th Annual Conference of the French Society for Media History (Soci?t? pour l?Histoire des M?dias, SPHM) is intended to explore the ambiguous connections and interrelations between reality and fiction in media productions of any kind, any time period and any country. The SPHM wishes to put this question into historical perspective, adopting a long-term view, beyond a given genre, technique or medium. The distinction between reality and fiction has never been as clear-cut as the debates that pit the two terms against each other seem to assume. We suggest 4 axes of reflection to consider the boundaries ? understood as limits but also as contact or friction zones ? between the staging of reality and the one of fiction in the media: Technical aspects (axis 1), narrative dimensions (axis 2), political approaches (axis 3) and reception studies (axis 4). These approaches are not mutually exclusive and may intersect in the proposals submitted. Strictly descriptive or ?debunking? endeavors do not fall within the scope of this conference. Any attempt at analyzing media over a long period of time (diachronic approach), or analyzing ?old media? from this renewed perspective is welcomed. A wide range of research themes and methodologies (archive-based history, oral history, content analysis, mass data analysis, media economics, etc.) are expected at this conference, which marks the 25th anniversary of the SPHM. The research presented may take the point of view of producers and/or investigate uses, appropriation and reception. The focus will be limited to existing media, excluding those invented by (science-)fiction. 1. Media at the technical crossroads between reality and fiction We are looking for analyses historicizing the technical connections and frictions between reality and fiction. Photoshopping, sound or video editing, and special effects (from classic photomontages to deep fakes created by artificial intelligence tools) make it possible to create images, sounds and narratives that are increasingly convincing in their verisimilitude. These techniques make it possible not only to transform reality, but also to produce fictions so convincing that they can be perceived as real. Fakes, trickery, editing, collage and remix, as well as all the technological developments of the media world that help to blur the boundaries between fiction and reality, will be examined from the angle of the technologies used, their uses, production and reception, and the imaginary worlds and controversies they have generated, from the earliest days of ?old media? (notably but not restricted to press, cinema and radio). We also need to look closely at and put into perspective the digital revolution, and digital social networks in particular, to consider their impact on the limits between reality and fiction, in what some have described as the ?post-truth era?. This increased porosity between fiction and reality also raises intellectual, political, legal and ethical issues that can be put into historical perspective. The emergence of fact-checkers, debunking videos and the analysis of public, professional or legal controversies linked to these issues, as well as the history of regulatory mechanisms, are also expected. 2. Aux fronti?res des formats et des genres narratifs The birth, definition, delimitation, study and appreciation of formats and narrative genres lies at the heart of media history. Format, first and foremost, is at the crossroads of an economic approach to cultural and media production and a semiological approach: what is the concrete, material and aesthetic form of what is being produced? For example, which elements makes a program be broadcast in the ?documentary? rather than ?entertainment? time slot on a television channel? Describing/recording/decoding reality also requires the use of recognizable and codified narrative forms: from the epic poem to the ?journalistic style?, including of course all the semi-fictional genres (investigation, biography, satire) or even fictional genres (romance, heroic journeys, comedy, melodrama), whose effects and/or evolution over time will need to be measured/explained. In ancient and medieval times, epic tales such as The Illiad and La Chanson de Roland combined fictional and real-life elements, conveying a vision of the world, values and information to educate and edify. Conversely, satire and parody magnify certain aspects of reality or famous fictions to provoke laughter, reflection and sometimes protest. Letters have also been widely distributed (disseminated) as bearers of news, albeit in literary forms such as Ovid's Heroides. The letter as media format produces an effect of reality, with content varying according to the period, for example with the emergence of the concept of privacy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Media history shows that the porosity of formats and narrative genres appeared very early on. It was already at the core of the editorial models of the 16th to 18th centuries press, a period of trial and error but also of great freedom in exploring the relationship between reality and fiction, with the rise of political pamphleteering and satiric engravings. The arrival of the ?newspaper age? in the 19th century may have given an impression of rationalization and stabilization under the guidance of industrial capitalism. But the success of serialized novels (feuilletons) was not synonymous with the complete separation of fiction in the material space of the newspaper: on the contrary, it led to ?multiple circulation effects between the top and bottom of the page? and therefore to a fictionalization of all journalistic genres, esp. the ?faits divers? (miscellaneous news). More recently, the hybridization of narratives in the media, for example through docu-fiction, serialized documentaries, museum exhibitions using clips from fictional films or live historical shows or reconstitutions... These projects that bring together authentic archives and reconstructions manifest the (con)fusion of genres. The same could be said of reality TV, where ?reality? has been highly scripted since its inception. These formats must be investigated to understand the way in which reality and fiction are presented and perceived throughout time. We might also ask whether form and formats? hybridization and the mixing of narrative genres are a new production of (post-)modernity/digital age or a sign that cultural and media productions often escape the attempts at definition and codification that are part of their very conditions of existence? 3. Aux fronti?res de la politique et de l?information If fiction can be conceived of as a quest for truth (and veracity), a way for an author to tell and interpret the world, then it is not surprising to observe its strong presence in the news media, from 17th-century newspapers to the digital social networks of the 21st century. Media history is full of cases that shed light on the way in which the boundaries between reality and fiction have transformed journalistic practices and news conventions. What's more, at every period in history, the process of fictionalizing reality, whether in relation to historical events or current affairs, has helped to shape public debate. In so doing, they have had an impact on the political systems themselves, since these structures are based on actors and institutions, as much as on values, beliefs and imaginaries. As manufacturers of narratives to tell the facts and enlighten public judgment, the media rely on creative processes which, to varying degrees and more or less intentionally, may resort to fictionalization processes. This is by no means a recent development in a contemporary media system at grips with fake news or post-truth. On the contrary, while the first gazettes attempted to create a neutrality of discourse by introducing each piece of news with standard formulas such as ?it is heard in Paris that...? or ?they say in Vienna that...?, the imprecision and delays in transmitting information, as well as the need to tell the news, represented obstacles for gazetiers, who were then often forced to draw ?prognostics?. Above all, the press that was being invented at the time set no limits on the a priori conditions required to tell a real story. From then on, ideal journalistic postures, the staging of imaginary situations of enunciation, perfect sources of information, and so on, flourished to produce newspapers that reported the news with meaningful editorial and stylistic diversity. Yet each of these editorial choices informs the way in which contemporaries, depending on the authors or target audiences, conceive the relationship of their professional ethos with reality and its meaning, as well as the role they attribute to the media in the building of ?what?s real? and what?s happening. In the 19th century, the fictionalization of reality entered an industrial age with the widely circulating national newspapers and the conquest of an ever-wider audience with ?yellow journalism?. This popular press fictionalized news stories. Later, television, by bringing the moving image into the home, has also shaken up the territories of information and diversified the links between reality and fiction, and uses fictional material - particularly cinematographic - to help the public ?reflect? on questions of society, history or current affairs... Broadcast as a preamble to an on-set debate, works of fiction thus take on a new meaning and scope in this specific context of reception. From The Daily Telegraph to Spitting Image, from media hijacking for political ends to fictitious political events, the question arises as to the role of satire and humor in the process of fictionalizing (to the point of hoaxing) information, which raises the question: what does it cost to twist reality for political ends? Indeed, from fake news to deep fakes generated by artificial intelligence, Donald Trump's three election campaigns (2016, 2020, 2024) show the extent of the democratic risks now hanging over the digital informational ecosystem, which is open but largely under the control of private actors and interests. The aim here is to explore the diversity of the relationships between reality and fiction in the field of news media, and to understand the political and media implications of the processes of transformation between the world of ?true facts? and that of made-up or twisted narratives. We are also interested in the way in which this question of the boundaries between fiction and information has itself interested contemporaries and been the subject of debate, even polemics, over the centuries. We will also look for analysis of the mediatization of political speeches and spin doctors? storytelling. 4. Aux fronti?res des publics et des usages Over the long history of the media, how have audiences in all their diversity apprehended the boundary between reality and fiction? The discourse of media professionals highlights clearly identified categories in programming: fictional content (cinema, TV and radio fiction, soap operas, etc.) on the one hand, and non-fictional content (news, features, documentaries, reality TV, etc.) on the other. Professionals have long mobilized this boundary to delimit and legitimize their profession, as well as establishing hierarchies among themselves. This boundary also serves as a reference point for how audiences interpret media content. However, these categories are porous, and fictional content is as much a bearer of objectivity as non-fictional storytelling; and there are several hybrids presented as such (advertorial, docu-drama, etc.). It has to be said that some overtly fictional works produce real-life effects: readers read fiction as a gateway to better understand reality, including their own life experience. How are audiences' receptions processed within the framework of these belief systems? If media producers address specific content, oscillating between reality and fiction, according to what they anticipate from audiences? responses, how do segmented audiences (?female?, ?children?, ?young adults?, etc.) receive and interpret this content? How can their mindsets contribute to their acceptance or rejection of the formulas offered by the media, for example about social, cultural and political issues, in contents that they consider to be more fictional or, on the contrary, more documentary ? For example, do the development of testimonials in the press since the 19th century, on radio in the 1960s, on television in the 1980s and the birth of reality TV in the 2000s contribute to greater public identification with the stories and people they highlight ? Moreover, in both traditional and digital media, audiences themselves participate in the creation of content (readers' letters, listeners' questions, comments, etc.), blurring the boundaries of enunciation, and questioning the limits between spontaneous testimony and media fabrication. To what extent do these participations, whether prompted or spontaneous, contribute to the creation of real effects that legitimize the social and democratic role of the media ? We are looking here for papers on audiences and media use, both in the construction of categories of reality and fiction, and in their reception. Research can be carried out from a variety of perspectives, ranging from the ethnography of audiences and media practices to the analysis of media content intended for segmented audiences. 300-word proposal in .docx format have to be send at CongresSPHM2025 at gmail.com before November 12, 2024. The proposals must detail the main research question(s) and method(s) followed, as well as the sources used. A selected bibliography must be added at the end of the proposal, as well as 5 keywords.

Deadline is November 1st (see all details below). The Communication History Division (CHD) is home for the historical study of topics in communication and media at ICA. We promote the inclusion and exchange of perspectives from around the globe, encouraging new theoretical and methodological approaches. Our aim is to foster innovative research that addresses a wide array of historical contexts and challenges. Scholars from across the field and at different stages in their research are encouraged to submit unpublished work to our annual conference. Topics of interest are broad, including: - The history of communication and media theories, fields, related disciplines, founding fathers and mothers, or the history of the reception of media and communication theories in the world; - The evolution of media production, distribution, and consumption practices; - The evolution of political and business ?cultures? in media and communication sectors; - The histories of various media and communication industries and institutions (journalism and publishing, advertising, music, film, broadcasting, computer gaming, mobile media, among others); - The history of media technologies, old and new, in use or extinct, marginal or prominent; - The historical emergence of digital practices or devices such as networked communication, platforms, and artificial intelligence. ICA 2025 Conference Theme: Additional Info for CHD - In addition to open-call submissions, the CHD encourages members to submit work engaging the ICA 2025 conference theme ?ICA at 75: Disrupting and Consolidating Communication Research,? which is of particular relevance and interest to members of the division. Historical approaches to the conference theme are especially welcome (for more information about the conference theme, see: https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.icahdq.org/resource/resmgr/conference/2025/ica2025-theme-cfp.pdf). Submissions might address (though not exclusive to) the following themes: - Historical case studies about specific practices, institutions, industries, and/or media technologies offering a reflection on media and communication studies; - Historical trajectories and political economy of media and communication scholarship, especially with regards to disruption and consolidation; - The public impact of media and communication scholarship (in public discourse, policy-making, cultural artifacts, etc.); - The ?communication? (or ?communication research?) label as an element of integration and/or as a repellent, in the context of the increased globalization of the field and inter/trans-disciplinary perspectives; - Disruptions associated with ideas, technologies, and/or research with a focus on minority contexts or those less represented in scholarship; - The history of the International Communication Association (its conferences, divisions, journals; leadership, etc.). If you have any queries about submitting a proposal to CHD, please contact vice chair Dominique Trudel, dtrudel at audencia.com Types of submissions accepted by the CHD CHD will accept four types of submissions: full papers, posters, extended abstracts, and panel session proposals (for more information, see: https://www.icahdq.org/page/SubmissionTypes). 1. Full papers ? ?Traditional" full papers should not exceed 8,000 words, excluding title, abstract, tables, figures, and references. Most full papers will be presented in paper sessions and some may be selected for the interactive poster session. Authors will have the option on the submission page to have their submission considered just for paper panels or both paper panels and poster sessions. CHD will award prizes for the best paper and the best student-led paper. 2. Posters ? A poster presentation is a submission that an author wishes to be considered for presentation in a poster session. Poster proposals should not exceed 2,000 words, excluding the title, abstract, tables, figures, and references. If the submission is accepted as a poster, authors will be expected to prepare a poster display of the research for presentation at the conference. Authors of accepted posters should bring a physical paper or fabric poster. 3. Extended Abstracts ? The extended abstracts session is an opportunity for scholars with a work-in-progress to receive feedback and support to move toward future stages like publication, conference presentation, doctoral dissertation, and others. Submitted Extended abstracts should not exceed 2,000 words, excluding the title, abstract, tables, figures, and references. Extended abstract submissions are not eligible for Top Paper awards but CHD will recognize the best extended abstract and the best student-led extended abstract by awarding Promising Research awards. Accepted extended abstracts will be presented during the scheduled session(s), which will encourage shorter presentations of the work and more encouragement of feedback and assistance from attendees to help advance the work and its contribution. 4. Panel Proposals ? Panel proposals should bring together different scholars focusing on a common topic or problem in media and communication history. They could also take the form of roundtables. Panel proposals require a 400-word rationale, a 75-word panel description and, if there are individual presentations, a 75-word abstract from each panel participant. When submitting a pre-formed panel, you should base your submission-type decision on what the people in your panel are planning to do in terms of attendance (everyone in person or a mix of in-person and remote presentations). Panel proposals should include contributions from at least two different countries, be gender inclusive, and include not more than one contributor from a single faculty, department or school. While the Communication History Division will not be accepting submissions for a Research Escalator session, we plan to organize informal session(s) of mentorship for students and early career scholars. All students and early career scholars accepted in the CHD program will be contacted at a later stage to inquire about their interest in participating in an informal mentorship program. Deadlines for submissions Authors should submit papers and panel proposals to the Communication History Division online at the ICA website no later than 1 November 2024 at 12 noon EST. Early submission is strongly recommended to avoid any technical issues since the deadline is firm. ICA will send acceptance/rejection notices to submitters by mid-January 2025. All the submitters should follow the General Conference Submission Guidelines (https://www.icahdq.org/general/custom.asp?page=ConfSubmissionGuidelines), providing clear and step-by-step information on how to submit your work. Top Papers and Promising Research Award Top papers and top extended abstracts (?Promising Research) will receive recognition awards at the group?s business meeting. Top student papers and Tier B-C countries participants might also receive a fee waive and travel funding awards. To be eligible, student authors must indicate their status: please identify your paper as a student paper when submitting it through ScholarOne, and not within the body of the paper itself. To be considered for any award, the author must be a member of the CHD.
