@culcorc.bsky.social📚 Looking back at ECREA 2026!
From 9 to 11 September, CULCORC researchers took part in the conference with seven contributions spanning peace, democracy, ecology, community media, identity, environmental journalism and more-than-human communication.
@culcorc.bsky.social📣 CULCORC at #ECREA2026
At ECREA 2026, Lenka Marxova (Charles University) presented:
“Negotiating female identity through collage creation in South Africa: A discourse-theoretical analysis and decolonial perspective”
📍 Session: “Visual Stereotypes, Imaginaries and Identities”
@cybermarie.bsky.socialAs Rimmer would have said, I had to attend the Brno ECREA hopping. 😅 But happy to present our experiment on uncertainty–identity dynamics in audiences of ethnicity-based cyberhate. Big thanks to the organisers from our department for putting so much effort into the conference! #ecc2026 #ecrea2026
@azabrodskaja.bsky.social#ECC2026 I keep thinking about one small detail: delegates were invited to bring their own water bottle and lanyard. I did.
🤏 Small thing? Yes
🌱 Meaningless? Not at all
“Shifting Grounds” is also about how small choices become collective change #ECREA2026

@snurb.infoThis is _such_ a strange set of stats. #ECREA2026 / #ECC2026.
@culcorc.bsky.social🌿 CULCORC at ECREA 2026

📍 Session: More-Than-Human Communication
@snurb.infoAnd with that, just one more session before the #ECREA2026 / #ECC2026 conference closing; of course it’s got to be our roundtable on experiences so far with the interesting but difficult Meta Content Library. We’re building an independent community of practice around the MCL – join us in FSS|P51 !
@snurb.infoSome methodologically interested and innovative papers on analysing political speech in this session at #ECREA2026 / #ECC2026. Liveblog here:
@snurb.infoOnly getting around to posting a few more #ECREA2026 / #ECC2026 liveblog posts now – these include our fabulous panel on the Australian and global move towards social media bans for young people (and their epic fails), and a great panel on platform regulation:
@alenakluknavska.bsky.socialDay 4 of #ECC2026 #ECREA2026
We started with a sticker: Where the heck is Brno?
After four days, hundreds of presentations, countless coffees, and a few wrong turns through the city... I am fairly confident the question has been answered.
