Argument

Territory, communication and new technologies – The revolution triggered by new Information and Communication technologies forces the academic world to develop a conscious reflection.

We are both spectators and protagonists of a new culture shaped by ICTs that has led to a radical change even in the dynamics structuring the territorialisation processes.

The increasing pervasiveness of informational flows does not imply a de-semantization of real-world places, but it rather triggers unprecedented processes of territorial narratives as well as imagery re-construction in a constant  interaction with the virtual sphere.

Both institutional strategies and bottom up practices of territorial communication can no longer ignore new technologies, although anchored to a wide range of material and immaterial territorial elements innervating the “personality” of a place.

Digital promotion of the territory is not necessarily addressed to  exogenous actors and narrowly included in the framework of territorial marketing. It can also act as catalyser of the several territorial dimensions increasing their value and experiential elements.

As a result, the session will accept both theoretical and methodological proposals exploring the forms through which ICTs, particularly the Web, have been changing the dynamics of territory representation in the last decades.

Among other things, the proposals should focus on territorial communication forms for both political/administrative aims (the communication by and for citizens/investors) and tourist/cultural purposes (the communication by and for tourists/visitors).

Top-down narratives: institutional communication and new technologies:

  • Territorial narratives through ICTs for administrative, commercial aims etc…;
  • E-government, institutional smartness;
  • Branding, territorial marketing and storytelling;
  • Smart Tourist & Cultural Destination;
  • Bottom up narratives: citizens and tourists re-build the territorial image
  • Self-representation, interconnection and participation: the active and connected citizen
  • The Digital Tourist
  • Storytelling as a tool for the co-creation of the tourist experience

Due to the inherent interdisciplinary nature of the topic, the session will also accept proposals based on different scientific approaches.

This session proposal originates from the network of relations of the “Geography of the Information Society” Agei group, whose members have followed and shared the session conceptual development.
