LINSEC International Conference

Call for Papers for the LINSEC International Conference, to be heldon June 13 and 14, 2019, atthe Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l’Homme in Aix-en-Provence:

The growing role of digital technology across all social spheres leads us not only to incorporate its contributions into the social and cultural practices we analyze, but also to examine how educational, cultural, and artistic institutions are engaging with these new technologies. This conference aims to shed light on these themes in order to contextualize these practices—whether active, hybrid, differentiated, or collaborative—and thereby better understand the challenges related to digital literacy, namely the full range of writing and reading techniques and practices, regardless of the social, educational, cultural, or artistic context in which they are exercised. Paper proposals must fall within one of thefollowing thematicareas
Area 1: Digital literacy and education;

Area 3: Contemporary cultural practices and digital literacy;
Area 4: Digital media: a sociological object?
