The XIV Lusocom Congress will be held in Porto on 25-26 October and will be organised by the University of Porto in collaboration with Sopcom (Associação Portuguesa de Ciências da Comunicação). The theme of this edition recognises that, as a result of the massification of digital media, the cultural transformation of our societies is triggering individual, group and collective behaviours that often generate paradoxes and perplexities. In this context, the Lusocom organisation invites researchers from all Lusophone countries to contribute to the debate with papers that are part of the perspective of thinking about digital media and citizenship in Portuguese-language intercultural networks.
Lusocom has defined five main thematic axes based on the general theme:
Axis 1: Activism, Intercultural Communication, Social Change.
Axis 2: Media and Literacy
Axis 3: Visual Communication, Technology, Culture
Axis 4: Communication Strategies, Publicity, Territory
Axis 5: Cyber-periodism (VII COBCIBER)
Proposals can be sent until 30 June using the following form. The abstract must have a maximum length of 500 words. Notification of acceptance will be communicated by 31 July.
The XIV Lusocom Congress is also part of the VII COBCIBER and precedes Intercom2022, which will also take place in Porto, from 27 to 29 October.
