[FoME] Conference: Media and the Politics of Transformation in the Arab World and Asia, Berlin, 10.-11. Dezember 2015

[Carola Richter]

Dear colleagues, 

 

We invite you to join us for a conference on “Media and the Politics of
Transformation in the Arab World and Asia” at Freie Universität Berlin on
10.-11. December 2015. 

 

The conference will open with a keynote lecture by Merlyna Lim, Carleton
University, Ottawa at 5 p.m. on Thursday, December 10 at Ihnestr. 21-A on
“Sticks and Stones, Clicks and Phones: Contextualizing the Role of Digital
Media in the Politics of Transformation”

Abstract: Integrating theories and perspectives drawn from social sciences
(social movement research in particular) and communication and media
studies, this talk aims to generate an interdisciplinary framework to
understand the complex relationship between media and the politics of
transformation, with digital media as a focal point. Drawing on empirical
analysis from the Middle East and Asia, this talk also attempts to identify
regional patterns and constellations of digital media as an instrument for
protest, mobilization, and democratization. 

 

The Public Keynote will be followed by a Panel Discussion: “When Theory
Meets Ground” from 6-8 p.m. at the same venue: 

·        Jamal Ghosn, former Managing Editor of Al-Akhbar English and
Blogger

·        Kaustubh Srikanth, Head of Technology at Tactical Technology
Collective

·        Afef Abrouigi, Researcher on Digital Rights and Global Voices
Contributor

·        Khaled Yacoub Oweis, SWP Berlin and Journalist
