Fresh back from our great retreat with the @zemki Lab #Mediatization and #Datafication - 2 days of intense discussion, great ideas and lots of fun. Thanks for that!
These were two exciting days among bright smart colleagues: annual retreat of the #Datafication and #Mediatization Lab @zemki @unibremen on the ambivalences of #comai at Gut Bredbeck
A reminder: today at 15:00 MET I will give a talk on #datafication, #automation and communicative #AI, discussing the need to broaden #mediatization research (at the online symposium "Living and Research in Times of Deep Mediatisation"). #ComAI

New article 🗞️
ZeMKI members Prof. Dr. Kerstin Radde-Antweiler, Prof. Dr. Christian Schwarzenegger and Prof. Dr. Karsten Wolf published an #article on “#Digital #Gaming. Indicator of a profound #mediatization” in Communicatio Socialis (ComSoc).
Our Research Unit "Communicative AI", funded by the @dfg_public and the @fwf, in which we investigate the transformation of social communication with generative AI, is now on Mastodon: @comai If you are interested in our research, please follow. @communicationscholars, @sociology, #ComAI, #AI, #generativeAI, #mediatization, #pioneercommunities, #automation, #communication, #journalism, #datascience, #datafication, #datafiedsociety
Just published, #openaccess: Our introduction to the Convergence thematic issue on "Agency in a datafied society" (with Stephan Görland). In the introduction, on the one hand, we shed light on the intellectual risks of empirical and conceptual ambiguity. On the other hand, we discuss #agency between #humans, #machines and everything in between. #mediatization #ComAI #AI #artificialintelligence #datafication https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/13548565241254692
Just published: My article on the life cycle of #pioneercommunities and the influence they have on our imaginaries of #digital #futures. It's about the #Makers, #QuantifiedSelf, #HacksHackers and more.

At the "Mediatization vs. #Datafication" conference in Lublin, we are discussing the use of #QSort in #mediatization research on the basis of a presentation by Szymon Zylinski. The possibilities here go far beyond #mediarepertoires and also concern the changing "structures of feeling" and #visualcommunication. We ourselves have developed MeSort, which is also #opensource: https://mesoftware.org/index.php/mesort/ This website is new to me: https://qmethod.org/resources/software/
With reference to @odriessens presentation at the conference "Mediatization vs. datafication—Dialogues or competition?": In my view, the point is not that #datafication does not also mean a "research programme", but with a different scope than #mediatization research. The latter is concerned with capturing the interrelationship between the transformation of media and communication on the one hand and that of culture and society on the other from a long-term perspective.
The conference "Mediatization vs. datafication—Dialogues or competition?" in Lublin continues, including an interesting presentation by @odriessens on "Reconstructing #mediatization and #datafication into a productive research program".
The arguments I just made to relate mediatization research and #HMC more to each other come from this special issue of the journal HMC (with @goran_bolin, A. Guzman & @WLoosen) #automation #communication #AI #ComAI:
👇 👇 👇 👇
At the “#Mediatization vs. #datafication“ conference in Lublin tomorrow, I will give a talk on “Broadening the scope of mediatization research“, focusing on 3 theses:
(1) Datafication and the #automation of #communication are an inherent trend of deep mediatization.
(2) Communicative #AI is a phenomenon of societal communication—and therefore of society’s mediatization.
(3) We should expand the existing mediatization research of “consequence” with a mediatization research of “emergence”.
On Friday, ZeMKI member @Andreas_Hepp will give a keynote speech at the #Mediatization Conference 5 – "Mediatization versus #Datafication Dialogue or Competition?”.
It will be hybrid - live in Lublin and online.
