"Urban Mediations"
NECS 2010 Conference
Istanbul, Turkey, June 24-27, 2010
in cooperation with Communication Faculty, Kadir Has University
The 2010 NECS Conference will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from June 24 through June 27. Istanbul, a global city of more than 12 million inhabitants occupying the Eastern edge of Europe and the Western edge of Asia, will be hosting a great variety of events as a European Capital of Culture. In this light, Istanbul is the ideal place to host the 2010 conference for the European Network of Cinema and Media Studies. In Europe’s Capital of Culture, we would like to debate issues of capitals, cities and urbanity under the rubric of “Urban Mediations.” Confirmed keynote speakers include Saskia Sassen, Thomas Elsaesser and Charlotte Brunsdon.
Thank you for all the submissions. Notification about acceptance of papers will be send out in March. Information on travel and accommodation will be provided in early 2010. Please address all inquiries to conference@necs-initiative.org

The objective of the graduate event is to intensify debate among young graduate students by focussing – in small discussion groups – on a particular yet expansive theme intersecting with media studies, geography, anthropology and spatial studies.
Our aim is to create a network that is sustainable after the NECS 2010 Istanbul Conference, allowing PhD-candidates at an early stage in their careers to connect with academic peers in fruitful debate. [...]
