Call for Papers Beyond the Paradigm: Communism and The Cold War, 30 Years After Date20 December 2019, 9.00am - 6.00pm Type Conference / Symposium Venue University of Bucharest Organizers FJSC/ University of Bucharest, “Nicolae Iorga” Institute of History How to think beyond the Cold War paradigm, 30 years after the fall of communist regimes? One question may explore the way the Cold War shaped representations, accounts and narratives for more than half of the past century. Another may seek into the structures of a thought pattern, a worldview configured, in the absence of a direct conflict, by the dynamics of a geopolitical tension. Moreover, it may investigate how a specific ideological dispute was translated into an implicit theoretical model: one that still informs the way local histories of communism are considered, one that still provides a conceptual framework for various topics related to the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. Appel à Communications INTELLECTUELS ET MEDIAS Impact de la digitalisation des formes d'engagement et de débat public XXIVème colloque franco-roumain en SIC Bucarest, 31 octobre-2 novembre 2019 Depuis l’apparition en France du terme d’« intellectuel » au moment de l’Affaire Dreyfus, la relation d’interdépendance entre intellectuels et médias a préoccupé des historiens, sociologues, politistes, mais aussi nombre de chercheurs en SIC. Sans avoir accès à l’espace public via la presse écrite, l’Affaire Dreyfus n’aurait pas existé : « les défenseurs du capitaine Dreyfus n’auraient probablement pas rencontré un tel écho dans l’opinion au tournant de ce siècle » (Rieffel, 1992). Certains auteurs ont remarqué, au fil du temps, une relation de double contrainte entre intellectuels et médias. D’une part, ceux-ci ont parfois menacé le statut des intellectuels ; d’autre part, ils ont représenté un canal nécessaire pour que ces intellectuels s’affirment (Charle, 1990 ; Ory&Sirinelli, 1992 ; Eck, 2003). Understanding Transition VII Bucharest, September 11-12, 2019 The shift from the Habermasian rational dialogue to Bakhtin’s participatory dialogue focuses on convergent or divergent multiple voices. Nowadays the social formations specific to the Habermasian public space have changed. They have been greatly influenced by the technological paradigm (Castells, 2010). The evolution of mass-media and the internet-based technologies have held “the promise of reviving the public sphere” (Papacharissi, 2002). The erosion of the traditional public space has led to “a network society” defined as “a social formation with an infrastructure of social and media networks enabling its prime mode of organization at all levels (individual, group/organizational and societal)” (van Dijk, 2006, p. 20). Understanding Transition VI Bucharest, 11-12 May 2018 The “Mediatizing memory: History and its mediatic
construction” international conference is one of the events carried out by FJSC
and the University of Bucharest for the celebration of the Great Union
Centennial in 2018 in Romania. the Third International Conference MEDIA and RELIGION Bucharest, 10-12 November 2017 Theme: MEDIA, RELIGION and POPULAR CULTURE: from extraordinary to extra-ordinary Our
conference is addressing religion, the construction of con-sacrated icons and
media/popular culture - three fundamental concepts that have become important
throughout recent debates on religious and media studies. It is well known the fact that media, through
informative or entertaining content, brings extraordinary events, people, actions or stories to the forefront.
These attract the public and allow mass-media messages to pendulate between
news and eternal stories that give meaning to our daily lives... Politique et religion au défi de la communication numérique 22e Colloque bilatéral Franco-Roumain en Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication Université de l’Ouest de Timişoara, 8-10 Juin 2017L’intérêt manifesté des Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication pour l’impact actuel des nouvelles technologies numériques dans les domaines individuel et social recouvre un certain nombre de problématiques majeures dont celles concernant le politique et le religieux qui revoient à des bouleversements surprenants non seulement en plan symbolique et fonctionnel, mais aussi en termes de structuration et action sociales. More>> Understanding Transition V Bucharest, 16-17 March 2017 Philosophy, linguistics, rhetoric, psychology, or relational communication are just four disciplines which lay a great emphasis on dialogue. Involving an effort to recognize the value of the other (Buber, 1970), the concept of dialogue provides a framework for thinking about ethical relationship building in relational communication (Kent, Taylor, 2002). More>> Discourse, Knowledge and Practice in Society DiscourseNet 19 Conference University of Bucharest, Central University Library of Bucharest Bucharest, Romania July, 7-8 2017 Keynote Speaker: Isabela Fairclough (University of Central Lancashire) Distinguished Guest: Norman Fairclough (University of Lancaster) Discourse Net together with the University of Bucharest, the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies, AFCOM will organize the 19th edition of the Discourse Net (supported by the European Research Council - DISCONEX project). BACKGROUND Discourse Studies comprise a growing body of research which focuses on meaning making as a key activity in society: from a discourse perspective, social phenomena are meaningful phenomena. While discourse researchers insist on the role of ‘language’ (i.e. verbal and nonverbal signs) for the social production of meaning, they commonly point out the social, political, historical contexts in which it is used. Discourse Studies have dealt with objects as diverse as public controversies and classroom interactions, the social web, bodily gestures and urban landscapes. In these studies, discourse is never seen as a pure linguistic activity. Rather, it is intertwined with what people know and with what they do in society. Discourse, in other words, raises the question how language is related to knowledges and practices in society. Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies SPARTA Research Center Doctoral School in Communication Sciences organize the international workshop e-CONNECTING EUROPE Bucharest, October 14, 2016 European Public Space, 31 Vasile Lascăr Street, Bucharest This workshop is supported by a grant of the Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation, CNCS-UEFISCDI, project number PN-II-RU-TE-2014-4-0599. In the European Communication Monitor (2012), it was highlighted that communication management in organizations has changed from an operational practice of preparing, producing and disseminating communication materials into a full strategic management function, which includes speaking as well as listening and consulting. Since this shift is mainly focused on decentralization, European organizations have less control over their message, have more touchstone points with their publics, and the organizational voice is created by all organizational members interacting with stakeholders (Zerfass et al., 2012, pp. 43-44). Throughout these four years since the ECM (2012) was published, the influence of stakeholders has become more and more visible in the online participatory activities.

While reading a daily paper, a news section, an editorial page or an organization’s PR and advertising texts, we are confronted with issues related to responsibility and accountability which may range from credit granting to blame shifting. Being responsible (as a citizen, as an organization, or as a professional body) covers at least three types of duties: legal, social and moral.

The democratic, symbolic and communication deficits related to the European Union are pervasive both in the scientific literature and in the official documents issued by EU institutions. Throughout the years, attempts have been made to bridge the gap between EU organizations and European citizens: the European Capital of Culture, the European Years, or EU's online platforms. The main aims of these attempts have been to adopt a ‘bottom-up’ strategy of communication where subsidiarity and decentralization prevail (Pütz, 2002). This approach has focused on listening to, communicating and connecting with citizens by "going local". Colloque international LES SCIENCES SOCIALES ET LA SOCIETE 3ème édition "Les sciences et l’incertitude : déterminismes, déterminations, normes, discours" Bucarest, les 20 et 21 novembre 2015 Villa Noël (6, Rue Emile Zola, Bucarest) APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS On a vu se multiplier dernièrement les ouvrages, produits dans différentes disciplines, faisant de l’incertitude une des principales caractéristiques du monde dans lequel nous vivons. Les certitudes s’effondrant les unes après les autres, il nous faudrait admettre que nous vivons dans un monde « incertain » et qu’un des défis contemporains serait de penser nos actions, nos décisions, notre épanouissement dans ces temps risqués de l’incertitude. L’objectif de ce colloque est d’interroger ce que ce discours de l’incertitude doit aux sciences et ce qu’il fait aux sciences. La mise en évidence de relations universellement valables ou probables entre des causes et des effets étant au centre de toute démarche scientifique, on peut en effet s’interroger sur ce qu’induisent les discours invitant à la remise en cause ou à la relativisation de ce postulat. Plusieurs ensembles de questionnements seront explorés. More >> Media, Religion and Politics – from sacralization to profanation Bucharest, 19-22 November 2015The recent events taking place in France attracted once again the attention on the complex relationship between religion, politics, and mass media. The tragedy of these events and the political and media mobilization that followed run the risk to project them into a singularity cone. However, periodically, the old tension between religion and politics, now inter-mediate by the cultural industries and mass media, reappears in forms more or less obvious. More >> 3rd ESTIDIA Conference Constanţa, 25-26 September 2015 More >> Understanding Transition III The last fifty years have brought more technical innovations than the centenarian that preceded the Industrial Revolution. Since technological advances proposed by researchers such as A. Turing, V. Cerf, T. Bern-Lee, S. Brin and L. Page, socially transmitted individual or collective actions are part of a trend that seems perpetual. The differences in perception, generations hold, seem to be obvious, and this is true also for the mastery of technology. This phenomenon is accentuated and its existence was acknowledged with the "digital natives" and the gradual appearance of "the digital immigrants" (the label for all previous generations), as they were identified by Marc Prensky, which tends to point to the cultural and behavioral differences.
