  The territories of propaganda

  Aesthetics, production and reception of propaganda through animated images (cinema, television, internet) 1945-2018

  Ce colloque international sur les images animées de propagande obéit à la nécessité de penser la place déterminante des images et des sons dans la perception codée, orientée ou forcée de notre actualité tourmentée, comme il renvoie à une volonté de revenir sur des stratégies passées de manipulation des masses par l’image animée. Il entend couvrir un spectre large de productions propagandistes, depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale jusqu’à nos jours, en passant par les guerres d’indépendances, la Guerre froide ou les conflits ayant affecté diverses parties du monde ces dernières décennies (la guerre du Vietnam, les deux guerres du Golfe, la situation aux Proche et Moyen-Orient après les soulèvements arabes de l’année 2011, etc.).

  The utopia of globalised culture and the reality of local communication practices

  Communication and digital technology in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa

  The imaginary world surrounding digital communication seems to impose a vision that crushes cultural diversity. The Symposium aims to jointly explore the heterogeneity of uses, productions and issues raised by the meeting of globalised technology that is often Western-centred, with various cultures. The first edition will focus on Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, a multicultural territory where contemporary geopolitical contexts pose particularly vital issues for communications research. These issues are of interest mainly to the information and communication sciences community, but the contributions of researchers from various cultural and disciplinary horizons will make it possible to tackle this very broad problem of communication, especially digital, in sensitive areas, according to different complementary approaches.

  The construction of reality in the post-truth age

  Schalten und walten. Towards Operative Ontologies

  IKKM Biennial Conference 2019

  The conference will conclude the IKKM six-year research program on ‘Operative Ontologies’. A term seeming contradictory at first, it assumes that everything that exists is not simply present or given but has been called into being through media and their operations in the most general sense: The ruling (das Walten) of nature as well as the ruling of the social reside under the command of technology, which as increasingly digitized technology is based on switching operations (das Schalten) — e.g. the achievements of bioengineering or the computational models of planet Earth. When embodied operations establish ontological orders and the difference between the ontic and the ontological thus re-enters the ontic, this demands a radical remodeling of ontology. The IKKM Biennial Conference 2019 therefore investigates the given with regard to the procedures through which it has been made possible, produced, set up, brought into the world and called into being — “switched on” — in the first place.
