Call for Abstracts:

Grabbe, Lars C., Andrew McLuhan, and Tobias Held. 2023. Beyond Media Literacy. Büchner-Verlag: Marburg.

Deadline for abstracts: April 22, 2022
Deadline for articles: November 25, 2022

Today, media literacy, digital media literacy, media and information literacy, critical media literacy, media literacy education, and the like, are hot topics discussed from elementary schools to UNESCO and a whole industry of non-profits has sprung up in response. One thing that these programs seem to share is a focus on content, and on spotting bias and manipulation in terms of content creators and purveyors. But there is much more to media than meets the eye. If you approach the idea of education around media from a McLuhan perspective, that is, by paying attention to form, structure, environment, and the resulting “personal and social consequences” (McLuhan, 1964), you must go beyond mere literacy, beyond content.… read more. “Call: Chapters for “Beyond Media Literacy””

Human-Machine Communication: Bridging Worlds, Bridging Networks
Pre-conference of ICA (International Communication Association) 2022
Thursday, May 26, 2022 [Full Day; 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.]
On-site at the ICA22 conference venue in Paris, France
https://hmc2022.wordpress.com/2021/11/14/icapreconference/
ICA 2022: https://www.icahdq.org/page/ICA2022

Submissions due: February 18, 2022

FOCUS:

The sixth annual pre-conference of Human-Machine Communication (HMC) aims to build bridges and foster dialogues across ICA’s breadth of communication research methodologies, contexts of study, regions of practice, and epistemological traditions as we continue empirical and theoretical investigation of communication between humans and technologies such as chatbots, social robots, smart assistants, and machine environments. In building these bridges, it also seeks to identify and codify the theories, methods, boundaries, and possibilities that characterize HMC as a sub-discipline.

• What unique methodological approaches and considerations does the context of HMC necessitate? Is there “HMC methodology”?
• What constitutes the theoretical foundations and theoretical innovations of HMC?
