Call for Papers: “Digital Pasts and Futures: Internet Histories, Digital Interculturality and Reimagining Digitality” – Conference Online, 23-24 June 2025
In this conference we would like to bring together scholars who engage with internet histories, digital futures and digital interculturality so as to initiate a discussion regarding the reimagining of digitality, not least its relationship to interculturality. We are, thus, interested in wide and interdisciplinary approaches that go beyond the presentism that often marks media and communication studies, while also engaging with alternative visions of how digitality can be construed, not least from an intercultural perspective. Please send us an abstract of your intended paper by 28 February 2025.

Using the “Talahon” phenomenon as a case study – a term popularized in German social media to describe young men, often of Arab descent, through specific stereotypes – the research highlights the dual role of digital influence, simultaneously reinforcing societal divisions and reshaping identities.
