medsex 2018 - A Stream on “Sex and Media”

The Mass Media & Communication Unit of ATINER organizes a Stream on “Sex and Media”, 14-17 May 2018, Athens, Greece as part of the 16th Annual International Conference on Communication and Mass Media sponsored by the Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications.
This stream will explore the ways in which the media (such as electronic, print, filmed entertainment, new social media and photography) represent, affect and shape sexualities and our understanding of them, and conversely, the impact of sexuality on the media and their modes of representation. The stream will also explore the ways in which economic and technological factors impact on the ways in which we understand, experience and constitute (our) sexualities. You may participate as presenter of one paper, chair or/and organizer of a session, or observer.
Fee structure information is available on https://www.atiner.gr/2018fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized: A pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycanae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, an one-day visit to Delphi and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.
