Transforming Audiences 2
3 – 4 September 2009
University of Westminster – London, UK
in association with the Audience and Reception Studies section of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA), the Popular Communication Division of the International Communication Association (ICA) and the Audience Section of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR)
The first Transforming Audiences conference, in September 2007, featured over 100 presentations by audience researchers from around the world. Transforming Audiences 2 signals its development as Europe’s major recurring international conference for audience/user studies.
There has never been a more exciting time for researchers interested in the place of media in people’s lives. The growth of diverse online offerings and easy-to-use creative tools, coupled with the global economic downturn, has made traditional media and conventional broadcasters increasingly uncomfortable. Some critics are concerned about the future of ‘quality’ media for audiences to enjoy, but others celebrate this flourishing of non-elite, grassroots media.
Transforming Audiences 2 – organised by the Audiences Group at the University of Westminster Communications and Media Research Institute, and run in association with ICA, IAMCR, and ECREA – will present a rich set of analyses of the current situation and raise important questions about the future. We have strongly encouraged papers from interesting new scholars as well as more established researchers.
Invited speakers include Liz Bird, Nick Couldry, Natalie Fenton, Christine Hine, Peter Lunt, and Shaun Moores.
Conference organised by David Gauntlett, Caroline Dover, Fatimah Awan, Anastasia Kavada and Annette Hill.
Transforming Audiences 2 will consider the following issues:
DIY media, ‘we media’, ‘user generated content’ and dispersed creativity, Audiences, identities and popular culture, Citizen media and new political communication, Transnational audiences and diasporas, Audiences and users around the world, The economics and business of contemporary media audiences, New methodologies in audience studies, Changing audience/producer relations, Media history and audiences, Philosophical and theoretical paradigms
