PRECONFERENCE #2
Mediating Global Citizenship
Co-sponsored by Philosophy of Communication, Global Communication / Social Change, Political Communication
and
The Center for Global Communication Studies, Annenberg School for Communication, U of Pennsylvania
Date: May 21 – 22, 2008
Venue: Le Centre Sheraton, Montreal, Canada
As media deliver not only images of ‘the world’ but epistemological and ontological notions of world construction in new fragmented highly individualized spaces of mediation, it is timely to debate and critically assess not only ‘cultures of difference’ but reflect these in the perspective of an integrative conceptual framework of global citizenship.
The preconference will discuss these approaches and attempt to identify parameters of global citizenship as a mediated form.
