Youthmedialife 2024 – Vienna Austria

---

The increasingly complex postdigital worlds that young people inhabit and transform have been the focus of the research platform #YouthMediaLife at the University of Vienna for some years now, and we are hoping to strengthen our interdisciplinary engagement even more in our second international conference. 

Keynote speakers:

• Karen Krasny & Sonya Sachar (York University & University of Alberta, Canada) – “Substituting the digital archive for memory: New media practices shaping youths’ understandings of war and genocide”
• Philippe Wampfler (University of Zurich, Switzerland) – “Teaching Media Literacy in the Age of Algorithmic Platforms”

Plenary co-presenters:

• Suzana Jovicic & Julia Sonnleitner (#YouthMediaLife / University of Vienna, Austria) – “Agency and youth revisited: mediating social action in material environments”
• Matthias Leichtfried, Florian Mayrhofer & Georg Wendt (#YouthMediaLife / University of Vienna, Austria) – “Digital presentation practices – Embodiment, Participation, Storytelling”

We are offering an exciting programme with thematic symposia, interactive workshops, individual papers and a poster session, as well as an engaging social programme. Register here.
