5月15日截稿 | 欧洲传播学大会（2022）前会：新兴媒体与技术公司的发展轨迹：跨国商业、跨文化传播

新兴跨国媒体与技术公司的崛起正在影响和改变全球传播的格局。为了阐释这些公司的发展轨迹，学者们在不同的研究领域从各种角度提供了分析与阐释，尤其关注这些公司强大的(本国)政府支持、市场优势、媒介体制与环境、游戏规则，以及公司相关业务的国际市场拓展与内容发布的跨文化内涵。

有鉴于此，由欧洲传播研究与教育学会（ECREA）传播历史分会、国际与跨文化传播分会支持，瑞士卢加诺大学中国传媒研究中心联合《国际跨文化传播学刊》（Journal of Transcultural Communication）主办，北京外国语大学国际新闻与传播学院、中国传媒大学人类命运共同体研究院协办的，主题为“新兴媒体与技术公司的发展轨迹：跨国商业、跨文化传播”的第九届欧洲传播学大会（European Communication Conference）前会，将在丹麦奥胡斯大学和北京外国语大学举办，并通过ZOOM连线。

本次会议旨在推动从跨文化与跨学科角度理解新兴媒体技术力量的崛起，特别关注这些媒体与技术公司的跨国业务进程以及他们在跨国业务的推进，拓展、(资产)集中与剥离、执行业务合理化与合法化等方面所面临的跨文化传播挑战以及来自组织内部，行业机构以及社会的相关话语讨论。现征集会议论文和研讨专题，欢迎学界同仁踊跃投稿！

The Trajectory of Emerging Media & Technology Companies:

Transnational Businesses, Transcultural Communications

ECREA Pre-conference:

Communication History section & International and Intercultural communication section

Date: 19/10/2022

Venue: two offline sites at Aarhus University (Denmark) and Beijing Foreign Studies University (China) with joint online panels via ZOOM.

Format: hybrid

Language: English

General information

The growth and influence of emerging transnational media and technology corporations are transforming global communication. Various international scholars have developed different analytical instruments in order to account for the rise of these companies, focusing especially on the powerful home governments of these firms, the country-specific-advantages, media system models, and the transcultural implication for such business expansion and content distribution (e.g. Thussu, 2000; Halin & Mancini, 2012; Nordenstreng & Thussu, 2015; Panibratov, 2015; Teer-Tomaselli et al., 2019; Tang, 2020; Thussu & Nordenstreng, 2020).

In global media history, the term of “emerging” embodies both relativist and transformative implicationsas the opposition to the dominant powers. From early Japanese companies’ digital disruption in the United States on manufacturing specialized devices (like digital cameras) to Chinese and South Korean telecommunication companies’ competence in mobile devices and network services worldwide; from the Bollywoodand Brazilian media conglomerates’ competition with predominant media counterparts in theregion to the Korean Wave impact in global entertainment consumption; from Russian and Chinese internet companies’ alternative growth in the domestic and regional markets to the South African Naspers Group becoming the parent company of Europe’s largest consumer internet firm, the fast development, business relocation and strategic capital move of emerging transnational companies is changing—visibly and invisibly—the landscape and infrastructure base of global media and communication industry.

On the one hand, such changes nourished business and cultural diversity and further transcend national and cultural boundaries. On the other hand, it also raised critical questions towards intercultural conflicts and the fragility and resilience of the global cultural ecosystem. The technology competition between the United States and China, for example, signals the “securitization” trend of policymaking in the communication industry and rising concerns over risks in data protection, information security and democracy. It also illustrates fundamental constraints of emerging companies to challenge US hegemony in the field of media and communication and extends discussions about cultural imperialism following the technology and culture decoupling in related societies. A new dimension of transcultural communication is in great need to understand the characteristics and ambitions of transnational media and technology corporations: their rising influence on the global (commercial) media system, their future move in the global race to dominate information technology, their impact on international and intercultural communication and relations, and their promises for the responsibilities to the nature, community, and world society for the next generations.

This conference welcomes research papers that try to understand the rise of emerging media-technology power from interdisciplinary perspectives, with a special focus on the trans-nationalization process of these media and technology firms and the transcultural communication challenges they have been facing in their business development, expansion, concentration, implementation, legitimization, and related (organizational, institutional, and societal) discourses. Topics include but are not limited to:

• The politics, economy and culture of emerging media and tech companies.

• The transnational growth & influence of emerging media and tech companies in the regional markets, mature markets, and third-party markets.

• Transcultural implications of the rise of emerging media and tech companies (e.g., their impact on transcultural protest movements, or on everyday communication)

• The relevance, roles, and implications of alternative movements and/or counter-movements in media and tech industries.

• Transcultural communication formats and content by emerging media and tech companies.

• Global public discourse around emerging media and tech companies, and their business strategies applied for brand building or rebuilding.

• The technology and culture decoupling amid the US-China power competition, and its impact on (lessons to) transnational corporations in other countries. 

• Theoretical reflections on the changing paradigm of cultural imperialism, transcultural communication, technology diffusion and soft power in the case of media and tech companies (e.g., their role in cultural homogenization, uni-channelization, and monopolization processes).
