Concept Note
COVID-19 has augmented the technological interventions in human life in many spheres. The urge to replace the ‘social’ with the ‘virtual-social’ has paved the way for new habits and ways of life enabled by digital driven networks and technology. The thematic platform of the seminar foregrounds media as a confluence of networked entities which not only augment information diffusion but also transform the very nature of the process of message formulation and reception. Lessons of history, comprehen- sive understanding of culture and its interaction in the amalgamation of communities, and new pathways to redraw the canvass of human development by improving the quality of life and death are imperative to advance theory building as well as to improve practices of the networked media.
The seminar raises new questions on the ruptures in societal fabric due to commu- nication inequalities in a fragile post-pandemic world. In this process, the seminar aims at mapping the paradigmatic turns in the communication ecosystem prevailing all over the world through the lens of culture and culture industry, aspirations for future and lessons from past experiences.
The seminar will also be a platform for dialogue between industry and academia to discuss the issues of disconnection, disenchantment and dilemmas in the world of media. It has another core area of discussion on Media and gender which is expected to unravel bias and ‘othering’ in mediation and communication. We request active participation of practitioners, academics, and anyone who has interest in the aforementioned fields of enquiry and invite proposals to present a paper in the seminar. Select papers will be published in the form of a book with ISBN or in a special issue of a peer reviewed journal.
