Antonia Eichenauer will give a presentation on “It Could Be Different: Metaphor Analysis of Metajournalistic Discourse about AI” at the anniversary conference of the Center for Media, Communication, and Information Research (ZeMKI), “20 Years into the Future: What Is Our Vision of Media, Data, and Society?”
About the Conference
Media and communication research has traditionally focused on the present, often asking: What are the consequences of each “new” medium? How do digital media and their infrastructures impact contemporary cultures and societies? With this conference, however, we aim to shift the perspective—from analyzing present-day impacts to envisioning future possibilities. What can we learn from the current mediatization and datafication of society to imagine possible futures? What roles might media discourses, technologies, and practices play in ongoing and future societal transformations?
