Call for Abstract:
An International Conference Sponsored by The Urban Communication Foundation & The Institute for Communication Research – Yonsei University
Conference Theme: Communication and the city: The role of the community
Conference dates: June, 3-5, 2016
Abstract Deadline: December 15
Conference website – http://web.yonsei.ac.kr/ucfseoul
The Communication and the City Conference is sponsoring a two-day event hosted by the Institute of Communication Research at the Yonsei University and co-sponsored by the Urban Communication Foundation. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from a variety of national contexts to discuss questions of urban communication across academic disciplines and professional fields.
The essence of the urban landscape is community and inherently a matter of communication. In his 1996 essay on “The Chicago School and the History of Mass Communication Research” James Carey wrote: “We ceaselessly create communities out of need, desire, and necessity but thencontinually try to escape from the authority of what we have created.
We are forever building a city on the hill and promptly planning to get out of town to avoid the authority and constrain of our creation.” (p.27) How and what people communicate in urban places is linked to their relationship with community(ies).The increasing urbanization of the globe has been accompanied by new configurations of communication and community interaction. Rapid migration, transportation and technological change have resulted in the need to redefine obligation and cohesion in communities capable of transcending location. The civil societies, concepts of neighborhood, the nuclear family, along with increasing longevity, are being redefined. Rapid relocation, displacement, and assimilation accompany a new urban landscape characterized by sharpdisparity of wealth and living.
The Urban Communication Foundation Seoul conference is designed to bring together researchers and practitioners from various fields to discuss the issues related to communication, community, and city. We seek proposals linking communication, community, and technologies in urban contexts.
Some ideas for consideration include, but are not limited to:
- Differing notions of “community” and “neighborhoods” in the changing urban environment;
- Communication infrastructures for urban communities in networked society
- The ways in which urban communities are imagined in smart cities, u-cities, or urban applications of IOTs (internet of things)
- Impacts of urban designs and urban architectures on social connectedness engagement, and participation in urban neighborhoods
- New modes of mobility and local communities in cities
- Placemaking in communities
- Community, alternative, and citizen media in urban communities
- Cross-cultural comparisons regarding communication and community issues
- Locative storytelling, net locality, and locative journalism in urban neighborhoods
- Location based games and urban communities
- Public health implications of urban neighborhoods
