Media, Power & Revolution: Making the 21st Century
2, 3, 4 April 2012
Chancellors Hall, Senate House, London
Registration now open for the landmark media conference by the Goldsmiths Leverhulme Media Research Centre.
Twitter and Facebook revolutions to phone hacking and the power of the Murdoch empire, Wiki-leaks, and the Abu-Ghraib photographs -- a new intensity links power, revolution, and the media in the twenty-first century. The new media do make a difference, but what exactly is the nature of that difference? What are the crucial questions of technological form, usage, and control that shape the political and cultural agency of governments, corporations, political uprisings, and individuals?
Confirmed speakers to date include:
Anne Alexander, Goetz Bachmann, Anthony Barnett, Rod Benson, Chris Berry, Dave Boyle, Brian Cathcart, Nick Couldry, James Curran, Nick Davies, Natalie Fenton, Marianne Franklin, Des Freedman, Janet Harbord, Amal Khalaf, Gholam Khiabany, Scott Lash, Duncan McCargo, Robert McChesney, Rachel Moore, Monika Metykova, Evgeny Morozov, Graham Murdock, Angela Phillips, Terry Rosenberg, Annabelle Sreberny, Rod Tiffen
A conference outline is currently available to view. This will be updated regularly, so check back often.
