In the European Currency Union the Euro is supposed to coordinate economic and social activities as adequately as national currencies on former national scopes. Yet, the very limited stock of common European Information on political, economical, cultural affairs hardly allows for a common framework which would support monetary coordination.
This diagnosis raises various questions:
- Will culture-specific knowledge patterns continue to
prevail over more general European Information webs?
- Will financial transactions overshadow less quantifiable comparisons, exchanges, or communications?
- Do the similarities between economic calculations in the European Currency Union call for similar commonalities for culture goods like information, education or entertainment?
- Does the lack of a "European Information Union" and the persistance of various "European Media Cultures" enforce more people to live with inconsistent sign systems and models of dis/orientation?
- Will Media and Culture Studies as well as Computer Sciences join forces at this conference and jointly clarify competing, even contradictory understandings of European Information Societies and Media Cultures?
These and other questions will be discussed at the International Conference 1998 (14./15.11. in Siegen) of the Special Research Program "Screen Media" (DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich "Bildschirmmedien") in Cooperation with the European SociologicalAssociation's Research Network "Mass Media and Communication"
