Digital practices: platforms, affordances and ideologies

Workshop organisé dans le cadre du séminaire de Marcel Burger "Langages de la communication digitale".

University of Lausanne, Géopolis, room 2129 & 2121, 14-15 December 2017

The workshop assembles researchers in the field of digital communication and discourse analysis who have in common to focus on the links between discourse (language) and practices (communication) in the digital era (specific medium, platforms, affordances). The workshop is aimed at discussing the interplay of these dimensions. How do the affordances of a medium lead to create behavioral rules? What is at stake with the networks, groups and communities configuring the digital identity of the members? What creativity or limitations are familiar and just supplement a practice? What are emergent and reconfigure a practice or lead to a new practice? Such issues will be addressed by researchers as well as by the students of a new MA course in digital communication.

Participants

Korina Giaxoglou (The Open University London), Piia Varis (Tilburg University).

Organizer

Marcel Burger, University of Lausanne.

The Gatherings in Biosemiotics are annual meetings of world scholars studying the myriad of communication and sign processes in living systems, from cellular signaling and communication in physiological systems to organisms and interspecies communication, to the sign-processes that are embedded within and necessary for human cognition and culture.
