Deadline for abstracts: 15 November, 2010.


We are pleased to announce that registration for your IV International 
Conference on Communication and Reality, entitled Life Without Media is 
now in progress. The complete Call for papers is posted in English, 
Spanish, and Catalan on our conference web site, 
_http://cicr.blanquerna.url.edu <http://cicr.blanquerna.url.edu/>_ 
<_http://mail.blanquerna.url.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://cicr.blanquerna.url.edu_> 
. We invite you to submit individual abstracts or complete panel 
proposals, and to peruse further information posted there.

The conference, in accordance with the characteristics of our 
institution, strives for rigorous scholarship, interdisciplinary 
methodology, with participation from the business sector, and with a 
structure particularly designed to stimulate, above all, scholarly 
debate centered on our central topic Life Without Media. The finality of 
the title is to appropriate the apocalyptic discourses of many media 
experts and take them to their deliberately challenging extreme.



In fact, by extension, and as a hypothetical outcome of this scenario, 
we ask you to envisage Life Without Democracy, Life Without a Market, 
and Life Without Enlightenment. Responses to this thought experiment may 
corroborate or disprove this hypothesis, which, after all, is rooted in 
the assumption that if the gatekeeper role of the media professional is 
abolished, then the fabric and the organization of western society will 
be transformed in its entirety.


We look forward to hearing from you and receiving your comments at
