ESA’s RN07 Mid-term Conference

The INVENT Project will be attending 3 major conferences in the coming months. The first of which is approaching soon: from August 31^st until September 2^nd 2022, Research Network 07 ‘Sociology of Culture’ of the European Sociological Association is hosting its mid-term conference at the University of Portsmouth, UK. Under this year’s theme “Culture(s) on the Margins” the INVENT team will be giving 7 presentations across three different sessions.

For the session Cultural Capitals, Cultural Practices, the team will be presenting 3 different papers exploring the influence of cultural capital on the perception of processes of globalization and questioning whether social inequalities influence different cultural practices and leisure activities, both during and beyond times of covid-19.

In the session discussing Marginality, Communication and Trust, we will be presenting 2 papers covering cross-national comparisons of bottom-up conceptions of culture and the relationship between institutional trust and media use in times of political turmoil in Europe.

During the third session entitled Culture, Belonging and Integration, we will be sharing a closer look at comparisons made between specific INVENT members countries. One paper focusses on the religiosity and  cultural practices in five different European societies and the other explores the meanings ascribed to culture in Spanish and British societies in particular.

ECREA’s 9^th European Communication Conference

Later in October of this year, the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) is hosting its 9^th European Communication Conference at Aarhus University, Denmark from 19 – 22 October 2022. The theme for this year is “Rethink Impact” drawing attention to the way academic insight can best be translated into tangible outcomes for society.

The INVENT project is participating in the conference with presentations in three different sessions. For the session on Audience and Reception Studies a paper with findings on European citizens’ digital cultural participation and its notable implications will be presented. Next, looking closer at cultural participation in a digitized society, the paper we will present during the Digital Culture and Communication sessionis comparing repertoires of online and offline cultural participation and their social correlates across Europe. Finally, for the Political Communication session, the INVENT team will once more be sharing its insights on institutional trust and media trust in Europe’s political climate.
