Call: RN18 Panel “Critical Media Sociology Today”
12th Conference of the European Sociological Association
August 25-28, 2015. Prague

Abstract Submission Deadline: Feb 15
Submission: http://esa12thconference.eu/abstract-submission

Call text: http://fuchs.uti.at/1338/

Critical Media Sociology Today

We live in times of ongoing crisis, the extension and intensification of inequalities concerning class, gender, and race, a return of the importance of the economy and political economy, a lack of imaginations of alternatives to neo-liberalism and capitalism, an intensification of right-wing extremism and fascism all over Europe, a lack of visions and power of the political Left, an intensification and extension of extremely repressive forms of state power such as communications surveillance conducted by secret services, ideological scapegoating conducted by conservative and far-right parties, and law and order-politics. Left-wing movements and parties have in some countries emerged or been strengthened, but the crisis has overall brought a further political shift towards the right and an intensification of capitalism and inequality.

We today require politically a renewal of the Left. For critical media sociology this means that it needs to ask questions, theorise, and conduct critical analysis of media and communications in the context of capitalism, class, ideologies, racism, fascism, right-wing extremism, gender, state power, activism and social movements, challenges for public service, media reforms, crisis, globalisation, the rise of China, digitalisation, consumer and advertising culture, information/cultural/media work, digital labour, the new international division of cultural and digital labour, warfare and military conflicts, the new imperialism, financialisation, etc.

ESA RN 18 calls for contributions that shed new light on questions that Critical Media Sociology needs to ask today and on theoretical and analytical insights that help to shape Critical Media Sociology in the 21st Century.

RN18’s panel at the ESA 2014 Prague Conference “Differences, Inequalities Sociological Imagination” and its contributions are organised in the form of specific session topics.

ESA RN18 calls for contributions to the following sessions:

RN18_1: Critical Media Sociology and Karl Marx Today:
What is the role and legacy of Karl Marx’s works and Marxist theory for critical media sociology today?

RN18_2: Critical Media Sociology and Capitalism Today:
How does capitalism shape media and communications today?

RN18_3: Critical Media Sociology and Critical Theory Today:
What is a critical theory of 21st century society? What role do communication, media and culture play in such a theory?

RN18_4: Critical Media Sociology and Stuart Hall Today:
How do Stuart Hall’s works, projects, and collaborations matter for critical media sociology today?

RN18_5: Critical Media Sociology and Cultural Materialism Today:
How does Raymond Williams’ approach of cultural materialism matter today for understanding the sociology of media and communications?

RN18_6: Critical Media Sociology, Patriarchy and Gender Today:
What is the role of and relationship of identity politics and anti-capitalism for feminist media sociology today?

RN18_7: Critical Media Sociology and the Critique of the Political Economy of the Internet and Social Media:
How does capitalism shape the Internet and social media?

RN18_8: Critical Media Sociology and Ideology Critique Today:
What are the main forms of ideology today and how do they operate in the media? Which forms and approaches of ideology critique do we need to understand them?

RN18_9: Critical Media Sociology, Right-Wing Extremism and Fascism Today:
What is the relationship of far-right movements and parties, the media and communication?

RN18_10: Critical Media Sociology and Digital Labour Today:
What forms of digital labour and digital class struggles are there and how can they best be theorised, analysed, and understood?

RN18_11: Critical Media Sociology and the Left:
How could a 21st century Left best look like and what is the role of media and communications for such a Left? What is the historical, contemporary, and possible future relationship of critical media sociology to the Left? What is the role of media, communications, the Internet, and social media in left-wing movements? What problems do such movements face in relation to the media, communications, the Internet, and social media?

RN18_12: Critical Media Sociology and China:
How can critical media sociology understand the media in China and the role of China and Chinese media in global capitalism? What are differences and commonalities between European and Chinese media understood with the help of critical media sociology?

RN18_13: Critical Media Sociology, Democracy and the Public Sphere Today:
How can we best theorise and understand potentials and limits for the mediated public sphere in the 21st century?

RN18_14: Critical Media Sociology, the Commons, and the Alternatives Today:
What are the problems and post-capitalist potentials of alternative projects such as cultural and media co-operatives, left-wing and radical media projects, alternative social media, alternative online platforms, alternative media, community media projects, commons-based media, peer production projects, etc.?

RN18_15: Critical Media Sociology and State Power Today:
How does the relationship of media, communication and state power’s various forms of regulation, control, repression, violence and surveillance look like?

RN18_16: Critical Media Sociology, the University and Academia Today:
What are the challenges and problems for teaching and conducting research about the media and communication from a critical perspective? What can be done to overcome existing limits and problems?

RN18_17: Critical Media Sociology and Cultural and Communication Labour:
What are characteristics of cultural and communication labour in capitalism today? Are there potentials that they can transcend precarity? What is the role of alternative economic models such as co-operatives (self-managed companies) in this respect?

RN18_18: Critical Media Sociology and Political Communication:
What is the role of political communication for a critical sociology of the media?

Gray wolf: Reed College Paideia "Zombie" films' class, "Film," "Consciousness," and "Philosophy" wiki subjects/schools at WUaS, "Zombies" entry Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy in http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/zombies/, 18 of the 80 references in this "Zombies"' SEP entry contain the word "Zombies" in them

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for your email and your Reed College Paideia Zombie films' class. Great that Nico next to me was even beginning to look like a Zombie (do you know his email - he's a math major) ... Is this partly due to Reed Zombie films' culture ? ...  Sorry you weren't feeling well that evening or the next day either.

In terms of questions I asked, I'm curious too about the meme (replicating cultural unit, a word that Dawkin's among others coined) idea and Zombie culture, and at Reed ... Here are some thoughts about memes in my blog -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/meme - as well as more about World University and School.

Want to focus a Zombie section on World University and School's "Film" wiki subject page/school -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Film (accessible here from the main Subjects' wiki page -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects)? 

Check out the Yale and MIT OpenCourseWare and the related WUaS subject page links on this film page to get an idea of how WUaS is structured. You could begin simply by adding 1 or 2 favorite Zombie film titles to the Zombies' section I just added here.

I may add a Zombies' section to the Consciousness (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Consciousness) and to the 

Philosophy (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Philosophy) subjects/schools at WUaS ... 

Thanks for mentioning the "Zombies" entry Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy in http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/zombies/. Zombies are a fascinating example of qualia vis-a-vis questions of consciousness ... (Look up "Qualia," for example, here in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, as well :). 18 of the 80 references in this "Zombies"' SEP entry contain the word "Zombies" in them.

Zombie films offer such interesting ways to engage philosophical questions of consciousness!

Cool and interesting that my Reed alumnus email comes through to my Gmail. 

Where did you learn to speak French? 

Best, 

Scott

Coming into California

School kids, logs and hay,
Coming into California, -
Back from visiting family
In Oregon in January.

California on Highway 299
Puts on a show anthropologically.
School kids waiting for the bus,
the LOGGING truck follows close on,
together with, the big rig HAY truck, -

California in modernity.

But now in the information age, Internetity, 

I wait for coverage,
without IT while driving through
southeastern Oregon, at this time in history,

and connect to IT about 20 miles
from Interstate 5, haVing wanted
Internet coverage for many miles
But without, - yet the roads are all great,

and without snow. Arriving in Redding,
at the gas station, waiting to prepay, 

$2.12 per gallon, less than last year, with
gas prices coming down, Californians,

waiting in line to buy something,

are a little out there, colorful,
even a little wacky in this morning light,
socioculturally.

What is that light turquoise
station wagon from the 1950s or 60s?

Coming in on Hwy 299
I see Schoolkids, logs and hay, -
and then connect with the internet
from my smartphone ...

on my way to Harbin -
from PortlaNd and eastern Oregon
and a good family visit,
to Bog Hot Springs near Denio, NV ~


beautiful, great temperature, no one there,
good distance from the road and town,
and drove beautiful southeastern Oregon roads to get there,
and so I meditated in lotus in warm water
right in the middle of the Nevada sagebrush openness ... :) ~

to begin my second book,
with building a realistic virtual Harbin,
as comparabale ethnographic field site, and
part of an interactive, movie-realistic,
buildable virtual earth.

Tarsier eyes: Thanks for your engaging Paideia workshop on Sunday on "Video Production from Scratch for Beginners" at Reed, "On Music in Film - Ken Burns," Cuttyhunk film, a) Reed College Hum 110 lectures, primarily for the Internet, and b) recording, for instruction, Reed's guidelines for faculty on teaching via the conference method in Hum 110 sections

Dear Ty (and Eliot),

Thanks for your engaging Paideia workshop on Sunday on "Video Production from Scratch for Beginners" at Reed, and for this video we made:

Student Film: Saving the World one PAPER TOWEL at a Time

 

Ty Marbut Instructional Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXcM_qv1CyQ



Here's the Ken Burns' Youtube on music you mentioned being interested in ...

"On Music in Film - Ken Burns"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN2xMd21K_4

... (which you'll find here too -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/07/cuttyhunk-bayberry-ive-made-at-least.html
... and here is my film idea for this summer or in the next few years -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/07/seals-cuttyhunk-island-in-1970s.html
- which I also mentioned to you).


Thinking broadly and hypothetically and in terms of Reed-related instructional videos, would you be up for

a)
recording a full year of Reed College Hum 110 lectures, primarily for the Internet, and from which World University and School could grow teaching Hum 101 (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Humanities) using the conference method online
(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning) - eventually to translate into large languages and in many nation states.

b)
recording, for instruction, Reed's guidelines for faculty on teaching via the conference method in Hum 110 sections, but directed at graduate student instructors teaching online (ideally MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford and other students at great universities, and even Reed College juniors and seniors) who might then teach via this at The College at WUaS -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School#World_University_and_School_Links
- in WUaS's Hum 101 and in other courses including STEM (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/STEM_Education_-_Science,_Technologies,_Engineering_and_Mathematics) subjects?

Guidelines for instructors on teaching via the conference method onlie would potentially help graduate instructors around the world learn this approach to teaching and learning, too.


Per your workshop, I've added this blog entry to the "Film Making" wiki subject/school at WUaS ...  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Film_Making. What would you suggest adding here?


Thanks again for a great, practical and multi-faceted film-making demonstration/instruction on Sunday.

I enjoyed both your (http://tymarbut.com/) and Eliot's acting, as well as the conversation.

Best,
Scott

Hi Ty (and Eliot),

Thanks for the "student film: saving the world one paper towel at a time" video link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXcM_qv1CyQ - to info@worlduniversityandschool.org, which I've added to the email I sent you a few days ago, as well -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/01/tarsier-eyes-thanks-for-your-engaging.html - in addition to elaborating on the email itself.

I've added this blog entry to the -

Pongo: do you know much about DBPedia?, List of all colleges and universities, institutions of higher education somewhere in this, Team to develop WUaS in WordPress with a database of Universitians, WUaS_Information_Technologies_and_Data_Plan, AI with the CC WUaS Library Resources' wiki page, On the non CC side to the WUaS Bookstore/Computer store side, An ISSIP grand challenge?

Scott,
Thanks - do you know much about DBPedia?

For example, see this: http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Downloads2014?v=jd3

I believe there is a list of all colleges and universities, institutions of higher education somewhere in this - and in multiple languages...

Perhaps that is what you suggest far below -  " explore collaborating with Yassi and team to develop WUaS in WordPress with a database of Universitians, as a kind of beginning further"

???? sorry maybe I am confused by your question.

thanks, 
-Jim

Jim,

Thanks.

I don't know DBPedia, and, until now, DBPedia hasn't been linked at WUaS.

I just added the link you sent -
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Downloads2014?v=jd3 - to the "WUaS_Information_Technologies_and_Data_Plan" wiki subject page at WUaS -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Information_Technologies_and_Data_Plan
- to the "Data" wiki subject page at WUaS -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Data - as well as to the "Wiki" wiki subject page at WUaS -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Wiki . I wasn't able to locate the possible list "of all colleges and universities, institutions of higher education somewhere in this - and in multiple languages..." on initial search.

In the event that WUaS could integrate this DBPedia list of universities you mention, using DBPedia for coding to extract structured information from Wikipedia with MediaWiki/Wikidata, with WUaS's list of great universities' OER (Open Educational Resources) here -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings
(see, too, on this main "Courses"' page, WUaS's "Course listings' aggregates" list -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#Course_listings.27_aggregates
(much of which is primarily in English so far), as well as all of World University and School itself (in 7,870 languages), this would be a significant development in WUaS's plans.

To inquire further about exploring with you about "collaborating with Yassi and team to develop WUaS in WordPress with a database of Universitians ..." (as we did in the ISSIP web sites' move) and then explore the above integration of WUaS with DBPedia with Wikipedia in MediaWiki/Wikidata, how might we best possibly proceed? And then, further, how, as an example, might we anticipate adding artificial intelligence / machine learning / Watson / BlueMix to the CC WUaS
Library Resources' wiki page -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources (planned in each of all 7,780 languages +)-  (and on the non CC side to the WUaS Bookstore/Computer store side -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bookstore_/_Computer_Store_%28New_%26_Used%29_at_WUaS), as well as to the rest of WUaS?

To try to re-clarify my question ...

as an ISSIP grand challenge, could Yassi, you and I and team possibly begin this development process of WUaS in WordPress creating a database of Universitians, and anticipate moving WUaS from its current Wikia wiki via DBPedia to MediaWiki/Wikidata, and anticipate building in in WUaS machine learning in all kinds of ways, and in all 7,870 languages, and then begin to develop these?

This is a grand challenge indeed, Jim, and I look forward to communicating further with you about this.

Thank you,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your note.

I am swamped, so have little time to directly help - other than trying to find volunteers who are interested in helping.

Let me try to find someone expert in DBPedia.... I want to learn more about files that contact useful lists.  Like lists of universities, people, places, etc.

thanks,

Succisella: Do Bonobo chimpanzees experience love?, I also appreciate especially their peaceableness, emerging from evolutionary biology, which I think of non-theistic. What do you think?, What do you think this "love" neurophysiology or neurochemistry is, to add an aspect to the concept / idea aspect of love which you're exploring?, Here are what I think is love in some of its best senses - http://scottmacleod.com/daltonletter.htm#BestLove

Hi Anita and NtFs (nontheist Quakers), 

I think of Bonobo chimpanzees as experiencing love (see videos here, for example - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bonobo_chimpanzee). Bonobos holding hands is one example. I also appreciate especially their peaceableness, emerging from evolutionary biology, which I think of non-theistic. What do you think? 

What do you think this "love" neurophysiology or neurochemistry is, to add an aspect to the concept / idea aspect of love which you're exploring? 

Here are what I think is love in some of its best senses -  http://scottmacleod.com/daltonletter.htm#BestLove. 

Friendly greetings,

Steam rising: where there's steam, there could be warm pools, Non- Alternative / Bohemian / Hippie / Beat feminine norms, from America?, We held our own course reading from Wikipedia, with a really interesting conversation :)

Hmmm, Kai, 

There's steam rising from the hot tub warm pool outside Chloe's front balcony ... where there's steam, there could be warm pools ... can't fly down there, don't know its guidelines for use, don't have a swimming suit, but could ubi sub ubi (lit., where under where ... or, here, wear underwear) ... Chloe's asleep, and I haven't showered yet ... hmmm Kai, what to do on this rainy cold January morning in Portland, Oregon (just across SE Steele Street and 30th from Reed)? Wander through doors and gates?

Hmmm, Kai, There's steam rising from the warm pool outside Chloe's front balcony ... near Reed.

Warmly,
Scott

I know it's too late, but YES go for it!!!! That hot tub is not in use enough!!! I'd be there every night, but not these girls. What's up with that? Modesty? Insecurity? ???????,???  Did chloe sign up for your workshop? She better have...

Non- Alternative / Bohemian / Hippie / Beat feminine norms, from America? ... Chloe said she's coming to my WUaS workshop ... :)

Ah, modernity ...

Hi from the basement of Eliot Hall where the fungus workshop facilitator didn't show up, but there were a bunch of young Reedies all sitting around ... and we held our own course reading from Wikipedia, with a really interesting conversation :)

Consumerist society seems to be a significant aspect of life in Portland, in Oregon, and all along the west coast (and as the information technology revolution continues to unfold), I'm observing while traveling ...  as the influences from the 1960s and '70s and '80s (when we studied at Reed) - of the questioning of this authority of consumerism in modernity, for example - seem to drift into the past, yet Portland still seems pretty progressive in its "woodwork." :)

Nice to visit with Chloe, and I'm glad she came to the WUaS talk (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15SpyF9DQ44xk-WSfOxgHDKamjdLMy1u1H7ynd6CQDBw/edit) at Reed yesterday :)
