| Call for Papers: Civil Rights in Mediatized Societies |
|
Cancelled due to lack of sufficient interest; only 9 abstracts received. 'Civil Rights in Mediatized Societies: Which data privacy against whom and how?' is the title of an IAMCR pre-conference to be held 19 & 20 July 2008 at the University of Stockholm, Sweden. More and more institutions have begun to collect all the data they can get – in whatever way: the government, the police, the industry, enterprises, the health and the security system, banks, political parties, retail shop chains, the media themselves. It is not new that they do this. What is new is that today more and more data connected with a person are produced, and that government and economy collects them all – as it seems better to have them all if one wants to make valid predictions about behaviour. In addition, it is new is that government institutions, private enterprises and other institutions and parties are interested in the same data: they cooperate against the consumer and citizens. The conference organisers encourage scholars, members of NGOs and other institutions to present their research and work on data misuse at this pre-conference and to cooperate in a common network based in different countries and cultures worldwide. They invite academic papers and NGO reports from different countries focussing on what can be learned from their experience. Deadline for submission is 1 April 2008.
