New structures of being and experience in hybrid media environments and
social networks point to the continuities and discontinuities of modes of
conflict and dialogue, but also offer new dialectical necessities to be
explored. Migrants, far more than other groups in society, with their
experiences rich in borderlessness, struggle, resistance and empowerment,
raise a double challenge when we attempt to research politics of digital
presence.

We invite colleagues to raise to this challenge and to discuss migrant
ideology, organization, affect, agency and discourses; to comment on
digital objects and media produced by pro-migrant and anti-migrant groups
and diaspora communities; and to discuss the impact of race, gender,
ethnicity and class on everyday discourses in networked digital and hybrid
environments.

With an eye to European migration policy and the possibility for a digital
public sphere with a European flavor, we particularly welcome - but will
not restrict to - the presentation of recent research on conflict and
migration in Europe, as well as research focusing on the possibilities of
dialogue and democratic praxis in the European digital public sphere beyond
the representational.

This conference is part of Hull’s dissemination activities for the European
FP7 project MIG at NET <http://www.mignetproject.eu/> 'Transnational Digital
Networks: Migration and Gender' and it is in joint collaboration with Geert
Lovink and the Institute of Network Cultures. <http://networkcultures.org/>
