Sweden: Conferences

The 19th Nordic Conference for Media and Communication Research
Karlstad 13-15 August 2009
Body, Soul and Society
The conference theme of NordMedia09 is Body, Soul and Society: Rethinking Media and Communication Ontologies. Through plenary sessions, a particular theme division, and a multi-media evening event NordMedia09 will engage in questions related to how media and communication express, shape and is shaped by our understanding of body, soul and society. How do the media depict “the healthy soul in the healthy body” – and with what social and environmental impact? Can contemporary media contribute to cultural liberation? Are we becoming addicted to the media? These are some of the key-questions that will appear during the conference days.
