Breakdown also signifies\ntaking apart something to analyse and understand how it works; this meaning of\nbreaking down relates to deconstructing a text and its internal workings and\ncontradictions, or forensically analysing media systems, political economics\nand power structures. Moments of media breakdown can reveal that which is\notherwise hidden. And breakdown can be related to processes of fluidity and\nrenewal, in the breaking down of barriers and divisions. The theme of breakdown\noffers a multidimensional approach to how we can understand media, culture and\nsociety as a site of collapse and repair, and as a place for theoretical and\nempirical analysis within media, communication and cultural studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The international\nsymposium offers a platform for dialogue on media and breakdown that addresses\nthe theme from empirical and theoretical perspectives. We invite papers related\nto the following themes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Media\nand crises of democracy <\/li><li>Media,\ncivility and incivility<\/li><li>Media\nmisinformation, bias and fake news<\/li><li>Media\nand failure of institutions, infrastructures, and professionals<\/li><li>Media\nframing of catastrophe, crisis, and apocalypse <\/li><li>Media\nand breaking down genres and narratives<\/li><li>Media\nand cultural practices of collapse, repair and reconciliation<\/li><li>Media,\narts and creativity on breakdown, dissolution and resolution <\/li><li>Media\nand cultural methods of deconstruction and reconstruction <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The research\nquestions include: 1.&nbsp;How can we critically examine media and\nbreakdown across news, radio and television, film, arts and museums, digital\nand social media?&nbsp;2. In what ways can we understand\nbreakdown and repair in our analysis of media and culture? 3. What methods can\nwe apply to the study of media and breakdown? Different\ndisciplinary approaches to research on media and breakdown have developed in a\nvariety of subject areas&nbsp;such as&nbsp;media, communication and cultural\nstudies, political communication, sociology and anthropology, cultural\ngeography, media history, film studies, art and creative practice,\nand&nbsp;memory studies. The symposium offers opportunities to seek overlaps\nand connections in pursuing our topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirmed speakers\ninclude Nico Carpentier (Charles University, Czech\nRepublic),\nSimon Dawes (Universit\u00e9\nde Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France), Christine Geraghty (Glasgow University, UK), Joke Hermes\n(InHolland University, Netherlands), Annette Hill (Lund University,\nSweden),&nbsp;and Peter Lunt (University of Leicester, UK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please submit an abstract of\n300 words in English by&nbsp;<strong>December 12th 2019<\/strong>&nbsp;to <a href=\"mailto:hario.priambodho@kom.lu.se\">hario.priambodho@kom.lu.se<\/a>.&nbsp; For further information\nplease consult our website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kom.lu.se\/en\/research\/konferenser-och-natverkstraffar\/media-and-breakdown\/\">https:\/\/www.kom.lu.se\/en\/research\/konferenser-och-natverkstraffar\/media-and-breakdown\/<\/a>.
