The international conference “The (Un)sustainability of the Media” seeks to promote a critical and multidisciplinary debate on the challenges and contradictions of today’s media landscape. The aim is to reflect on the role of the media and journalism in the functioning of Western democracies, the confrontation between conventional media and digital social networks as channels for accessing information and creating spaces for visibility and sociability, the challenges and potential of different forms of civic participation in promoting more inclusive governance, the promotion of media literacy, and the ethical and environmental challenges of digital technologies.
The DN34 International Conference on Discourse, Identity and Polarisation
This hybrid conference provides an interdisciplinary space for examining how individual and group identities are discursively constructed in today's increasingly polarised societies, and how discourse both reflects and shapes emerging social divisions.
