> The conference is devoted to exploring the reciprocal relationship  
> between media and society. We will reassess the profound social  
> transformations in the contemporary world which we believe are  
> inseparable from the revolution in media, visual culture, law and  
> telecommunication. The panelists will address how media technologies  
> have historically provided the means of cultural representation and  
> social and political participation and how new media are  
> constitutive of new personal, social, and political identities and  
> allegiances. Scholars from diverse academic disciplines (literature,  
> visual culture, history, communication, sociology, political  
> science, architecture, etc) will engage in cross-disciplinary  
> dialogues about issues of theory and methods, as well as substantive  
> concerns.
