IfK researchers* represented with 35 contributions at the 72nd annual conference of the ICA
(23.05.2022) This year's 72nd annual conference of the International Communication Association (ICA) focuses on "One World, One Network‽" and will take place from 26.-30. May for the first time after the corona pandemic in presence in Paris. Researchers from the Institute for Communication Science are represented with 35 contributions there.
This year's ICA annual conference in Paris deals with the question "One World, One Network‽" and invites to redefine communication science under the conditions of globalization and worldwide networks. The use of the interrobang glyph (an overlay of the exclamation and question mark) in the title attempts to represent the "unity" in this theme.
The distribution of the internet, social media and mobile technologies are generating a debate about the promises and dangers of globalization. However, networks offer impressive metaphors, theories and analytical tools that help scientists to understand communication processes and structures while tackling current issues such as cyber-attacks, disinformation, exclusion, extremism, hate, oppression, polarization and racism.
Due to the corona pandemic, the annual conference was held in online format two years in a row. This year, for the first time, more than 2,100 communication scientists from all over the world will gather in Paris under the motto "Best.Reunion.Ever".
With the various pre- and post-conferences, the conference will take place from May 26th to 30th. Among the papers accepted for this year's conference are 35 papers by or with the participation of IfK researchers:
