We seek contributions that will discuss storytelling from the perspectives of their production, dissemination, reception and interaction with technologically mediated stories – in the context of traditional media (film, television, radio) as well as new technologies (computer games, social media, algorithms, or AI). The conference also welcomes papers that will reflect on the cultural changes and crises of today's world that are caused and perpetuated (not only) by technological developments, and technologically mediated and consumed stories. The contributions can focus on but are not limited to the following topics:
Technology and computer science in storytelling and audiovisual media. Populist and manipulative use of media, technology and AI. Immersive and virtual experiences and media reception. New and enhanced media participation and prosumerism. Social responsibility of computer science.
We appreciate a diversity of approaches and topical focuses.
We are accepting abstracts (250–400 words) by 16 September 2024.
You will receive the decision on acceptance of the abstract by 30 September 2024.
Selected presenters will be asked to rework their papers into book chapters for the book Challenges in Media Storytelling that is prepared by Prague City University (ed. Zdeněk Sloboda) for publication in 2025.
A fee of 25€/600CZK (reduced to 15€/375CZK for PhD-students) will be charged upon registration.
