RMeS Summer School 2025: Media Transformations

April 17, 2025/in RMeS News /by Chantal

25, 26 & 27 June 2025 | VU University and Open University
In today’s rapidly evolving digital societies, media are not only ubiquitous but also increasingly reshaping the ways we communicate, create, and understand the world. From the rise of datafication and generative AI to an increased platformization and participatory news production, the media landscape is undergoing profound transformations. This does not only impact people’s lives, but also challenges us as researchers, who are forced to find ways to  navigate a rapidly evolving field. Questions we used to have an answer to seem to be re-opened, and new questions emerge.

Symposium: Streaming Video as a Cultural Form 

April 16, 2025/in RMeS News /by Chantal

12 juni 2025 | University Museum Utrecht
The ‘Streaming Video’ Special Interest Group at Utrecht University is hosting a one-day symposium featuring eminent television scholars John Ellis and William Uricchio, alongside leading scholars from a new generation of scholars investigating streaming video and television as a medium in constant transition. The symposium will explore whether streaming video can be understood as a “cultural form,” much like Ellis conceptualized broadcast television as a cultural form shaped by industrial constraints, aesthetic conventions, and audience practices in his seminal 1982 book Visible Fictions. In the tradition of Uricchio’s influential work on the evolving nature of television, the symposium will also ask whether streaming video today exhibits enough stability in its industry, infrastructure, and user practices to be considered a distinct manifestation of television’s changing, pluriform emanations.

RMeS & ASCA event – Tuning In: A symposium on Vibes

March 19, 2025/in RMeS News /by Chantal

25 April 2025 | University of Amsterdam
Vibes are everywhere on social media; together with “moods” and “energies”, vibes offer a new way of navigating platforms based on personalized-yet-shared ‘aesthetic feelings’ meticulously curated for affective stickiness by machine learning algorithms whose vectors are equally intangible-yet-catchy. We have arguably entered the age of mood-regulating media.

Invitation: The Problem with Doing Media Research

March 14, 2025/in RMeS News /by Karlijn Achterberg

24 March 2025 | University of Amsterdam: Vox-Pop
There is no shortage of problems facing media researchers today, from fake news and the impact of AI to economic constraints on creative production; but what about the problems we face in *doing* media research? At a time when the need for critical media research is so great, this event is an attempt to turn our critical eye inward: what are the problems we need to solve in order to better carry out our core mission? A shape-shifting media landscape, questions of ethics and data access, unresolved frictions in interdisciplinary research, work pressure and imposter syndrome: this, too, is just a sampling of problems that media researchers face. Crucially, these same problems face researchers of all levels, from undergraduates learning the ropes to seasoned veterans and leaders in the field.
