8th MacBride Round Table
August 24-27, 1996, in Seoul, South Korea

COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE:
IDENTITY, PLURALITY AND EQUALITY

Communication and Culture are two key words encompassing the broad
span of work conducted in various fields of contemporary
communications research.  Although inherently open and unbinding,
these two notions, at the same time, engender very specific issues
for academic discourse such as questions of identity, equality, and
sovereignty.  Technological innovations and continuing
restructuring of international order present new set of challenges
for those of us who conduct research and analyze and recommend
policy actions in ever enlarging areas of communication studies.

The Korean Broadcasting Academic Society in cooperation with the
Steering Committee of the MacBride Round Table will organize the
8th annual meeting of the Round Table in Seoul, on August 24-27,
1996.  The theme of the meeting is: COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE:
Identity, Plurality and Equality.

Topics to be covered will include, but not be restricted to:
- The right to communication in an increasingly commercial world
- Communication and the globalization of cultural identity
- The clash of communities and markets: The role of communication
- Ethnicity and indigenous populations
- Communication in the post-colonial and information society
- NGOs and grassroots in the struggle for the right to communicate
- Gender and communication
- Communication in rural development
- Can the media and markets be responsible?
- Aspects of media professionalism
- Developments in freedom of expression
- WTO and balanced international communication flows
- Inter-Asian media exchanges and flows
- The Asia-Pacific Information Infrastructure and inter-regional
     information gaps

The conference also welcomes papers on global communications issues
outside the Communication and Culture.  Papers dealing with issues
of national communication policy, critical examination of
international culture industries, changing conditions of network
resulting from technological innovations as well as studies of
images and representation are particularly welcome.  Workshop
proposals are also encouraged.

The Round Table, a communications rights advocacy group, was
created in 1989 to stimulate discussion of issues embodied in the
1980 UNESCO MacBride Report.  The MacBride Round Table is an
international group of scholars, journalists and other
communication experts devoted to the monitoring of world
communication rights and balances, and reporting findings to
community groups, U.N. agencies, non-governmental organizations and
the news media.
