Narrating within the Cultural Industries. Platforms, Stories and Narratives

6th edition (Face-to-face and on-line)

VI International Conference: “Storytelling Revisited. Narrating within the Cultural Industries: Platforms, Stories and Narratives”, which will be held in Vic (Barcelona), November 22 & 23, 2023.

This Conference aims at providing a forum for researchers to foster the analysis of storytelling in relation to cultural industries with a special attention to platforms, stories and the main actors in the narrative process.

The organizing committee is composed of several research groups across UVic-UCC, i.e. GLOSSA and GETLIHC from the Faculty of Education, Translation, Sports and Psychology (FETEP); TRACTE from the Faculty of Education, Translation, Sports and Psychology (FETEP) and the Faculty of Business and Communication Studies (FEC); EMPREN, from the Faculty of Business and Communication Studies (FEC); and ISaMBeS, from the Faculty of Health Sciences and Welfare (FCSB).

The 6^th Storytelling Revisited invites researchers to deepen into the platformisation of cultural production (Nieborg & Poell, 2018). As pointed out by Poell, Nieborg and van Dijck (2019), platformisation transforms cultural practices reorganizing them around digital platforms, while at the same time these practices shape platforms’ institutional dimensions.

This academic meeting will revolve around the study of the relationship between platforms, content and narratives, focusing on the platformisation of cultural production and its impact on creativity and narratives, digital influencers, emergent narrating models on social media; trends in audio storytelling together with a gender, diversity and social perspective on audiovisual narratives.

The conference will be held at the University of Vic- Central University of Catalonia on November 22 & 23, 2023. Please go to the section titled “Call for papers” for more information.
