CATaC 2014: Culture, technology and communication
CATaC is a conference venue that fosters new explorations of culture, technology and communication. Open conference but registration is required.
Time and place: June 19, 2014–June 20, 2014, University of Oslo, Ole-Johan Dahls house
As the Internet and then the World Wide Web have come to now connect over 2 billion people globally, the questions of culture and communication vis-à-vis (networked) ICTs have become increasingly mainstream and widely explored across the needed range of disciplines, conferences, and publication venues.
At the same time, however, there is ongoing need for a conference venue that fosters new explorations at the intersections of culture, technology, and communication – as approached in ways that are:
- robustly interdisciplinary / cross-disciplinary;
- cordially but rigorously critical;
- inclusive of the philosophical, including the ethical and political dimensions of ICT design and diffusion;
- relational, bringing out the entanglements of culture, communication, and technology;
- and within a conference environment shaped by our hallmark hospitality and collegiality.
Accordingly, CaTaC’14 will
- celebrate the people and accomplishments of the past conference series, including the production of a Festschrift; and
- transform the conference series through development of
- new research, directions and approaches.
- Submission deadline: March 2nd, 2014
