ECREA Gender and Communication Section Announcement ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 19:43:54 -0000 From: Claudia Alvares <[log in to unmask]> Subject: ECREA Gender and Communication Section Announcement Dear All, We are pleased to announce that the ECREA Gender and Communication Section has been officially formed. The Section Gender and Communication hopes to bring together scholars who approach issues within the field of communication with a specific interest in gender, conceptualised in a broad sense. The section specifically seeks inclusivity in relation to gender studies issues on the part of media research. Amongst gender-related issues are ethnicity, identity politics, queer studies, media industries, feminist media studies, popular culture studies, post-structural theory, as well as a host of philosophical questions. Aiming to bridge the gap between communication and gender studies, this section welcomes interdisciplinary approaches that combine a focus on gender with media research, namely media production, content analysis of media texts and media use and/or reception. The section is committed to transcending boundaries between academia and professional praxis, offering the possibility for European interchange and comparative work. The latter objectives cannot be dissociated from our aspiration to create an international network focussing on themes pertinent to Gender and Communication. We are currently recruiting members for the Gender and Media Section. Only ECREA members may join. ECREA charges 10 euros for membership the first year and a yearly rate of 50 euros for each subsequent year. One of our further goals is to create a Women’s Network which is not necessarily embedded within ECREA and will therefore be operating on its own in the long run. Those who become members of the Gender and Communication Section are welcome to join the Women’s Network but are not necessarily obliged to integrate it. In case you are interested in becoming a member of the Gender and Communication Section on the one hand, or of the Women’s Network on the other, please send an email to the Section Executive Team at [log in to unmask] For further information on the Gender and Communication Section, please consult our Modus Operandi and Objectives at http://www.ecrea.eu/section_GC.html.
