The Conference on Communication, Culture, ad Media Studies (CCCMS) is back as an onsite event this year in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from August 27th to 29th, 2024. Our main theme, “hybrid,” addresses contemporary challenges within digital and environmental ecosystems. This theme explores the ‘nature-culture’ dichotomy, as discussed by Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway, and examines ‘cultural hybridity’ in post-colonial societies, as proposed by Homi Bhabha. We welcome diverse interpretations of this theme, spanning from theoretical perspectives, various empirical cases, sites or area-based studies, media forms, communicative and cultural practices, to socio-cultural dynamics.

 

CCCMS invites papers from around the globe and across various disciplines, including communication and media studies, sociology of media/communication, media anthropology, philosophy, science and technology studies (STS), cultural studies, history of communication, strategic communications, and environmental communication. We look forward to your contributions.
