ECREA Communication History Section Workshop 2023
“War, Communication, and Media Resilience in Europe”
Lund University, Sweden, 23–25 August, 2023
War is disruptive. It breaks trajectories of progress. It divides real and imagined communities. In addition to the tragic loss of lives and devastation of cities, its harmful effects on long established communication cultures, networks and infrastructures are fundamental. The disturbing instability of the world order caused by the escalating Russian aggression in Ukraine has led to deep concerns not only about the war itself. It has also highlighted the vulnerability of our global communication infrastructure, the ways to resist information warfare and propaganda, and the need to sustain an ethical media reporting in a deeply polarized world.
Dating back to 1970s discussions within fields such as psychology, pedagogy, and human ecology, the concept of resilience has drawn attention to how humans mentally cope with and learn from disrupting changes in the complex systems in which they are embedded. In recent decades, the concept has been tried out in much broader scholarly contexts, for example research on public health or social innovation, critical infrastructure studies, and disaster studies. Although studies within applied communication research and crisis communication may sometimes thematize resilience, it can be noted that in media studies more generally, the concept is yet to be thoroughly theorized and systematically discussed. And particularly the interplay between resilience and resistance needs further exploration, not least to underscore agency and to counter the conservative tendency built into the concept of resilience.
Alongside this lacuna within media studies, historical studies on resilience are also surprisingly rare. Most often, it is framed as a contemporary phenomenon, ideal, and solution. This is remarkable since the term resilience itself implies key issues of change, transformation, adaptability, adjustment, and temporality – and sometimes also the absence of change. By critically investigating processes of resilience and resistance in wartime, media and communication historians can offer deep insights into everything from sustainable communication technologies and infrastructures to cultural memory work and collective trauma. Through concepts such as residual media or remediation, historians can shed light on processes of media convergence and divergence in wars of the past, but also old media persistence, resistance, or resilience in new wars.
The aim of the 2023 ECREA Communication History workshop is to invite a scholarly discussion on war and media resilience in terms of, first, the ability of media and communication agents, cultures, and institutions to act in, resist and recover from disturbances caused by war and armed conflicts. Second, it engages with media technologies and materialities, not least in terms of the stability or instability of analogue or digital communication infrastructures. And third, the concept of media resilience raises issues of media ethics, sustainable war reporting and photojournalism, and the spectacles of suffering. Media in contemporary armed conflicts need to be put in context and analyzed alongside their historical precedents. Historical perspectives are necessary since media resilience addresses issues of media change and transformation, the ability of media technologies and media agents to absorb change or the stubborn persistence – or even comeback – of old media in disruptive times.
The ECREA Communication History Section welcomes contributions from all scholars in different fields who are interested in the workshop theme. Topics include, but may not be limited to, historically informed media perspectives of the following:
* The mediatization of war and armed conflict
* Conflicts and/as media events
* Resilient and ethically sustainable war reporting, including censorship
* Journalism, diplomacy, and negotiation
* Wartime resistance and underground media
* Propaganda and psychological defence
* Old cables in new wars – vulnerable communication infrastructures
* Information warfare and resistance, cyber-crimes, and cyber security
* Gendered approaches of media and communication during wars
* Preserving audiovisual or digital cultural heritage in times of war
* Residual media and old media persistence in contemporary wars
* Trauma, memory, and war commemoration
The workshop will begin late afternoon on the 23 and end at lunchtime on the 25 August. Confirmed keynote speaker is Prof Gabriele Balbi<https://search.usi.ch/en/people/9fca22404467d1801cfd4213b9fb7e7e/balbi-gabr…>, Media Studies, Institute of Media and Journalism (IMeG), USI Università Svizzera Italiana.
The organizing committee invites scholars to submit extended abstracts (500 words) and a short bio (50 words) here<https://forms.gle/oo3EMoWTVhBEV11DA>. The deadline for submission is 1 February 2023. (EXTENDED TO 15 FEBRUARY!)
All abstract proposals will be subjected to peer-review. Participants will be notified of acceptance by mid-March. Both members and non-members of ECREA<https://www.ecrea.eu/> are welcome to submit proposals. Proposals from PhD students and early career researchers are especially encouraged. A fee of 150€ for seniors and 100€ for young scholars will be required. Authors of accepted abstracts will receive information and instructions regarding payment and formal registration.

Hej!
en gemensam konferens för early career scholars under titeln "Negotiating Modern Ways of Life: Life-Reform Movements in Central and Eastern Europe since 1900" organiseras av Herder-Institut für historische Ostmitteleuropaforschung och Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (CBEES) på Södertörns högskola i Marburg, 18-19 september 2023.

Negotiating Modern Ways of Life: Life-Reform Movements in Central and Eastern Europe since 1900 - Herder-Institut<https://www.herder-institut.de/event/negotiating-modern-ways-of-life-life-r…>
Since the late 19th century, a wave of issue-oriented life-reform movements has developed across Europe and America, particularly in the areas of nutrition, clothing, consumption, housing, healthcare and moral reform. Such movements became a corollary and a critique of industrialisation, urbanisation, mass communication, and societal change.

Libraries are especially impacted during times of national and international conflict. In fact, cultural heritage institutions are often targeted for destruction to undermine the national and cultural identities of those under attack. While the theft of cultural artefacts as spoils of war were historically, under the correct circumstances, in accordance with international law in the early modern period, such practices have been strongly condemned in the modern period. Nevertheless, the international community continues to witness the plunder and destruction of libraries and museums during modern armed conflicts.
Libraries in the Time of War<https://libcal.ub.uu.se/event/3958865>, hosted by Uppsala University on March 16, 2023, will address these issues directly. The daylong, hybrid symposium will host an internal assemblage of nine speakers from different continents sharing their personal experiences on the topic of libraries during wartime. Topics will include:
* The history and legacy of libraries during wartime
* Curatorial efforts to save collections from plunder and destruction
* The legacy of conflict, including institutional ownership of stolen or looted cultural heritage
* Legal complications regarding the restitution of cultural heritage
Libraries in the Time of War is free and open to the public. However, registration is required and space is limited. For those not able to join in-person or virtually, the event will be recorded and posted online.
The symposium is arranged and supported by Uppsala University in collaboration with IFLA (International Federation for Library Associations) and CERL (Consortium for European Research Libraries).
