ECREA WEEKLY digest ARTICLES

Platforms & Society (special issue)

Deadline: May 23, 2025

Editors: Rianne Riemens, Donya Alinejad, Judith Keilbach, Anne Helmond (Utrecht University)

Call: https://journals.sagepub.com/page/pns/callforpaper 

Rationale:

Digital technologies, including cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI), are often framed as indispensable allies in the fight against climate change. At the same time, these technologies have an enormous negative environmental impact through their high demands for energy, water, and their reliance on critical raw materials. In recent years, tech companies have increasingly positioned themselves as environmentally responsible actors, working towards decarbonizing their businesses. However, these same companies have reported rising emissions linked to their AI products, still depend on fossil fuels, and continuously expand their infrastructures. Meanwhile, as knowledge brokers, they fail to address climate disinformation circulating on their platforms. Nevertheless, sustainability scholarship has a demonstrated tendency to celebrate platforms as drivers of sustainable societal change (Kuntsman and Rattle 2019; Mouthaan et al., 2022).

We invite contributions that critically engage with the complex and often contradictory relationship between platform companies, the climate crisis, and the pursuit of just, sustainable futures. We seek papers that explore the role of platform companies in the challenge of greening the digital society.

This special issue asks: How does the role of platform companies—ranging from Big Tech firms to AI startups, chip manufacturers, and cloud infrastructure providers—in the climate crisis call for new perspectives on platform power and its environmental impact? How can we analyze the infrastructural, political, and cultural power of the “new conglomerates” (Srnicek, 2024), particularly in their roles as knowledge brokers or energy intermediaries? Can we speak of a “platformization” of the climate crisis (Helmond, 2015), and if so, what does that entail? And how do these changes occur in different geographical contexts or parts of the supply chain?

We invite contributions from a diverse group of authors using a range of methods, working in different regional and institutional contexts, and focusing on a variety of case studies. Possible topics include:

  *   Methods and approaches for studying the environmental impact of digital platforms;

  *   Sustainability and waste across data infrastructures and the stack;

  *   Tech companies and CEOs as environmental actors;

  *   Theorizations of green platform capitalism and “green extractivism”;

  *   Digital platforms and the production, dissemination, and control of climate knowledge;

  *   The political economy of Big Tech and energy provision/distribution (wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear, fossil fuels) across different scales;

  *   Sustainability as a “hype” and platforms’ corporate greenwashing;

  *   Corporate environmentalism of Big Tech versus state politics (e.g. national public–private partnerships, friction in local contexts, lobby practices);

  *   Big Tech and climate justice movements (including local and Global South resistance);

  *   Visions and imaginaries of a green platform society.

Deadlines: Interested authors are invited to submit abstracts (400-500 words excl. references) to r.riemens@uu.nl<mailto:r.riemens@uu.nl> until May 23rd. After acceptance, authors will be asked to discuss first full drafts of papers during a hybrid workshop in January 2026, with official submissions due in March 2026. We aim to publish the special issue in Platforms & Society in winter 2026/2027.

We look forward to receiving your abstracts.

University of Amsterdam

We are hiring: For the project "Ideology, Emotion Detection AI, & the Propagation of Social Inequality" we are looking for a post-doc (application deadline April 15th). The project examines how AI emotion detection models may perpetuate political ideology by reinforcing gender and ethnic stereotypes. A key concern is that these models are trained on datasets labeled by human annotators, whose political ideology may shape how they categorize emotional expressions—often in ways that align with stereotypes. When AI systems learn from these biased labels, their outputs can further influence human decision-making, unintentionally reinforcing existing inequalities. To investigate these dynamics, the project will hire a post-doc for 12 months, starting this spring.

November 13-15, 2025

Institute of Communication and Media Research, German Sport University, Cologne, Germany (conference will be held onsite with inclusion of 1 online panel)

Deadline: June 23, 2025

Conference of the ECREA Temporary Working Group Communication and Sport

Sports media play a crucial role in shaping public discourse, influencing narratives, and determining the visibility of social issues within both the sports industry and wider society. From investigative sports journalism uncovering injustices to strategic communication efforts by athletes, teams, and brands, the role of media in shaping social impact requires critical exploration. Moreover, audiences actively engage with, interpret, and respond to these narratives, shaping the effectiveness and reach of various movements in sports media. Additionally, sports journalism can take on an interventionist role, with journalists advocating for social issues, giving voice to marginalized groups, and driving conversations on equity and justice. Activism within sports communication, whether led by athletes, media professionals, or fans, continues to be a significant factor in addressing societal challenges. Beyond journalism, various forms of engagement—including fan mobilization, community-driven initiatives, and participatory media practices—are shaping the broader landscape of social influence in sports communication.

The Conference of the ECREA TWG “Communication and Sport”, hosted by the Institute of Communication and Media Research at the German Sport University in Cologne, on November 13-15, 2025 (Get Together, Nov 13; Academic Program Nov 14 and 15) invites scholars (not necessarily only from Europe) to submit abstracts that investigate the relationship between sports communication and its broader societal influence. It aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions that deepen our understanding of how journalism, digital platforms, strategic communication, audience reception, engagement, activism, and advocacy intersect with social impact in sports communication.

The conference will feature one online panel that will allow participation of a select number of researchers who are unable to travel to Cologne.

Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• Sports Media:
  
• • The role of sports journalism in shaping social change
  • The interventionist and activist role of sports journalists
  • Media framing of social issues and activism in sports
  • Intersectionality and diversity in media portrayals of athletes and social issues
  • Regulation and censorship in sports media
• Sports Actors:
  
• • The role of sociopolitical issues in athletes’ self-presentation
  • Strategic communication in socially responsible and activist sports initiatives
  • Corporate media and its stance to social activism in sports
  • Athletes’ employment of different media channels for activist purposes
  • Sports actors’ responses to online hate
  • Social media’s influence on activism and public engagement in sports
• Sports Audiences:
  
• • Fan engagement, mobilization, and advocacy through media platforms
  • Audience expectations and perceptions of activism in sports communication
  • Community engagement and grassroots movements in sports media
  • Case studies of sports media’s impact on social discourse and activism 

This list is not exclusive, and we call for papers which in a broad sense deal with different forms of engagement, including both theoretical and empirical perspectives on the potential social impact of sports communication

We invite abstracts between 300-500 words (excluding references) submitted in English language by June 23, 2025 via email to the main organiser JProf. Dr. Daniel Nölleke (d.noelleke@dshs-koeln.de). The submission should be anonymized.

The abstracts can be both for individual papers and panel proposals. Each panel proposal must include an abstract of the cover topic and the titles of 4-5 involved papers with the names of the authors. Each paper in the panel needs to be presented by people from different universities. Please indicate clearly whether the abstract is for an individual paper or a panel proposal. 

The TWG (in collaboration with its YECREA representative) particularly invites early career researchers to submit abstracts for the conference. Please indicate on your submission if it is authored exclusively by (bachelor, master or Ph.D.) students. 

To support the integration of as many scholars as possible, we will hold approx. 5 onsite panels and 1 online panel for the colleagues who have difficulties travelling to Cologne on the dates of the conference. Please indicate clearly whether the abstract is for onsite or online presentation. Authors will be notified about acceptance by July 25, 2025.

To cover the expenses for room rental and on-site catering (coffee, cold drinks, finger food), a fee of max. 70 Euro (max. 40 Euro for Early Career Scholars) will be charged for on-site participation. Detailed information on fees, accommodation options and the social program will be sent with the acceptance notification in July.

The Children, Youth & Media Section of ECREA invites proposals from its members to organize and host the 2025 Mid-Term Conference. We welcome institutions or research groups within the section to submit proposals to host this event. 

Interested members should submit their proposals by May 2nd.

Soapbox 7.0

Deadline: April 30, 2025

To feel like we belong is one of our most common desires. Our bodily relation to home is not a simple one: it is marked by hostile power structures. These structures plunge the body into an interconnected web of demarcations, mediations, and hierarchisation, which determine one’s ability or failure to feel at home. Race, gender, ability, and class are factors that designate one’s sense of home. Labels further differentiate between bodies, some rendered political (“immigrant,” “refugee”), while others insidiously a-political (“expat”). How do we think with the body in ways that address its complicated relationship to home? What are the ways to engage with our bodily positionalities that may allow for a more equitable habitation?

Thinking with aestheSis that privileges sensing over totalising reasoning of aestheTics, María Lugones sees the body through its permeability, which “allows us to reconceive about the world we live in.” Turning towards the sensorial relationality, we discover that the fixed, man-made, ‘rational’ lines that demarcate home and body as separate, contain leaks. Leaks that bring the body home. For its eighth issue, Soapbox: Journal for Cultural Analysis invites (young) researchers, (established) scholars, and creatives alike to submit works that consider practices, experiences, and methodologies that uncover punctures and cavities of structures, lines, boundaries, and borders. What seeps, spills, or flows through these holes? What exists in between home and body that informs who and where we are? What are the moments when the body and home are torn apart? And when do they collapse into one?

Decolonial theory offers one perspective from which we can explore the leaks between homes and bodies. For non-Western subjects, when one has seen oneself as the Other through Western eyes, the decolonial journey begins to return to one’s bodies and homes. Quijano teaches us that the relationship between European and other cultures is one of “subject” and “object,” while Tlostanova, in her seminal paper “Can the Post-Soviet Think?,” reminds us that inventing theory “remains a privilege of the West.” Nevertheless, these man-made divisions only appear as stable and can be questioned through embodied relationality that allows “communities and social movements to defend their territories and worlds against the ravages of neoliberal globalization” (Escobar). Lugones calls for “a resistant permeable sensing” (Calderon). Vasquez speaks of worldhood and earth-hood, the possibility of being at home in and with others and with Earth that stands in opposition to the homelessness of modernity’s artifice. Taking a decolonial lens on Merleau-Ponty’s flesh and Barthes’s notion of punctum, Ortega argues that Latinx art carnally pierces with love that frees from dominant knowledges. Finally, Anzaldúa asks us to stay with the border and perceive it as a wound that offers hybridity.

other possible access points:‍

affective leaks

Sarah Ahmed writes that “being-at-home suggests that the subject and space leak into each other”: home becomes a second skin that allows for a receptive touch. What does it mean to feel at home, and how does the body sense home? Rather than spatiotemporal, can home become an emotion?

phenomenological leaks

Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological attention to the in-between of the body and the world that gives form to a chiasmatic flesh has long entertained cultural scholars, with Baker and Sobchak contributing to understanding cinema as tactile. How can the phenomenological attention to bodies and the world inform our understanding of home?

architectural leaks

Architecture architectures—or builds—a predetermined relationship between subject and structure. Dwellings provide shelter just as much as they violently enclose. Ingold advocates a dwelling perspective that argues it is the surroundings that shape the mind and not the opposite. Where does the body stop and the city start?

posthuman leaks

In Tuana’s concept of viscous porosity, it is the membrane that facilitates the interactions. In what way do the permeable borders mimic membranes when choosing who to accept and who to refuse? Re-thinking the neoliberal ideal, can a better future exist within the membrane?

leaks and memory studies

How do forms of violence pertain to what Ann Laura Stoler theorizes as ‘disabled’ and ‘dissociated’ histories? What does it mean to be-long in that what no-longer exists or never existed? How does nostalgia entail a violent form of be-longing that implicates the present? (Boym).

leaks in everyday life

Marxist sociologist-philosopher Henri Lefebvre tells us that “a revolution will come about when, and only when, people can no longer live their everyday lives.” A leakage, a failure of infrastructure, may precisely set such a process in motion. At what point—while cooking, walking the dog, showering, seeing friends—do we notice the droplets dripping from the ceiling, forming a deep puddle in the centre of the living room?

the details:

We are inviting extended proposals in MLA formatting and referencing style to be submitted to submissions@soapboxjournal.net by April 30th, 2025. Each proposal must include an abstract of 300-500 words and a brief outline of the content and its order (up to 200 words, can be in bullet points!). The outline is meant to indicate the intended structuring and weighing of the various elements of your text; we understand and expect that this will change again during drafting and editing. Submissions should be sent as a file attachment to the email, and the file's content should be anonymised.

Guidelines for creative submissions are more flexible. They can be finished works, word-based or otherwise, but please keep in mind our spatial limitations: we publish and print in book format, and we have a limited number of pages to give to each submission. This year, we are also open to visual submissions (excluding moving image), provided they are accompanied by an artistic statement and an explanation of how the work connects to the theme. A sense of the formatting possibilities can be garnered from previous issues and our Instagram (open-access PDF versions are available on our website).

We will try to send out conditional acceptance emails by May 23rd. Upon acceptance, the authors of the academic essays will be asked to submit a 4000-6000-word full draft by August 25th. The editing and publishing process will span the next academic year (September 2025 - February 2026).

It would be very helpful if you could let us know in your email where you saw our CFP. If you have any questions regarding your submission, do not hesitate to contact us at submissions@soapboxjournal.net.
