RMeS RMa Course | Disinformation and Media: Cultures, Infrastructures, and Regulation

January 25, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

April – May 2023 | University of Amsterdam
In the past few years, disinformation has become firmly established as a fundamental concern for digital media studies research. In the process a wide range of perspectives and theories have emerged, including the return to prominence of the ‘media effects’ tradition. This course will situate these developments in the field of ‘disinformation studies’, which includes such concepts as fake news, conspiracy theory and deplatforming.

RMeS Workshop: Professor Nick Couldry (London School of Economics and Political Science)

March 15, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

10 May 2023 | University of Groningen
In this seminar, Nick Couldry will reflect on the global space of social communications and interaction that has been constructed over the past three decades through a commercialized internet and the emergence of digital platforms whose business model depends on the extraction of data from their users and the shaping of user behaviour in order to optimize user behaviour that will generate advertising value.

RMeS Summer School 2023: Imagophilia: Place, Politics, Passion

February 27, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

19, 20 & 21 June 2023 | Leiden University
Imagophilia speaks to our ineluctable and incessant love for images: a baffling fondness for storing them, recalling them, or at times monumentalizing them in our mind. Under the overarching umbrella of imagophilia, in this Summer School we want to explore the possessive and persuasive power of images, whether affectively localized in places or politically dispersed across spaces. Do we simply like images or are we haunted by their seductive and holding power? Are we, as W.J.T Mitchell posits, under their spell whether we admit it or not? Overarching topics like cinephilia, photophilia, logophilia, idolatry and bédéphilia, the theme of imagophilia addresses our fervid yet inexplicable endearment for images, whether they are verbal or mental, still or moving, metaphoric or metonymic, analogue or digital.

Conference – Call for Abstracts: Practices of Digital In- and exclusion in Everyday Life

January 30, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

April 3-4, 2023 | University of Groningen, the Netherlands
Submission Deadline: February 15, 2023
This conference considers citizens’ everyday experiences of digital in- and exclusion. It focuses on the practices and tactics they employ in everyday life. Governments, employers, schools and other institutions increasingly expect people to participate digitally; yet, even in digitally advanced countries where internet access is almost ubiquitous, large groups of citizens lack basic digital literacies. This conference focuses on the practices and tactics through which citizens deal with the increasing digitalization of their everyday life. Going beyond who is left behind or what skills or knowledge are lacking, it explicitly takes a user-centric approach to understand the impact of digital in-and exclusion from the perspective of citizens themselves.

[urban interfaces] seminar 2022-2023: Creative Urban Methods

January 25, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

May-June 2023 | Utrecht University
In this seminar we will discuss ways to expand conventional ways of doing theory in, for and with cities and urban contexts. The growing catalog of creative methods for various disciplinary and interdisciplinary urban inquiries demonstrates a wide array of research techniques ranging from data walking to performative mapping or critical making, from experimental ethnography and co-creation to dramaturgical or interface analysis, and curatorial or action-based research to uncover and engage alternative ways of data collection, production, and analysis. Such creative urban methods are embodied and explorative, as well as experimental and interventionist. They share a phenomenological emphasis on embodied experiences of the (citizen/academic) researcher.

Public keynote at RMeS Winter School & Graduate Symposium: Rosa Menkman

January 16, 2023/in RMeS News /by Chantal

Friday 27 January | Tilburg University
Rosa Menkman is a Dutch artist and researcher. Her work focuses on noise artifacts that result from accidents in both analogue and digital media. These artifacts can offer precious insights into the otherwise obscure alchemy of standardisation and resolution setting. As a compendium to this research, she published the Glitch Moment/um (inc, 2011), a little book on the exploitation and popularization of glitch artifacts.
