Pre-conference discussions on the topic of the conference - 
Communication, Crisis and Critique in Contemporary Capitalism - are 
welcome on the mailing list:
What is the role of communication in contemporary capitalism?
What does it mean to critically study communication today? Which 
theories, philosophers, methods, normative approaches, practices do we 
need in order to interpret the crisis and change society?
What are the implications of the current crisis (crises?) for media and 
communication in society?

Best,
Christian Fuchs
Chair of ESA RN18
