Jacek's fascinating work covers history & present of devices producing/re-producing voices & their social relevance; highlights challenges created by contemporary voice-catching & 'listening-in' technologies often led by hegemonic control logic; looks into artistic practice as voices of resistance

Johan's analysis asks how screen presence/usage is dependent on, and correlated with, social inequalities; links everyday & mundane media use/logic with wider political economy of 'screenequalities' deploying Bourdieusian take on social class & habitus

Uppsala University Media & Communications Programme @uumediacomms.bsky.social · Dec 13

After a short lunch break we are resuming our discussions @uumediacomms.bsky.social annual Research Day - with great Johan Lindell now presenting on "Screenequalities: Mapping social inequality in digitalized everyday life"

Uppsala University Media & Communications Programme @uumediacomms.bsky.social · Dec 13

Much needed work indeed by @emmaronngren.bsky.social & Göran Svensson - v relevant to @goranbolin.bsky.social & other great colleagues working on return of propaganda paradigm; calls for further analysis of not only taken-4-granted meanings but also 'conceptual flipsiding' of propaganda as concept

Uppsala University Media & Communications Programme @uumediacomms.bsky.social · Dec 13

In their paper, @emmaronngren.bsky.social & Göran discuss concept of 'propaganda' while looking into its historical and still persistent relevance and viability - but while also questioning possibilities for its potential abandonment due to complexity of contemporary media & communication realities

Using critique of post-digitality, Claes discusses the role of digital artefacts in acceleration, alienation & 'deterritorialization' (Deleuze) - calls for more dichotomous digital & communication artefacts that create public & individual resonance and resist hegemonic logic of technological tools

Peter looks at 'knowledge orders' established by transformation surrounding arrival of new/online and esp. social media, points to e.g. political challenges of undermining/questioning knowledge as strategy creating further affordances for, inter alia, conspiracy theories, climate change denial etc.
