The relation between language and the mediatisation of resistance is

conflict is partly articulated in media communication. It also shows just how
high the stakes rise when attrition gets commodified. Although media
interaction involves complex and layered power relations, it only exists amidst
constant battles for meaning and contextualization. One can thus say that the
production, circulation and interpretation of media texts are always
power-resistance actions. However, the dynamics of these complementary
practices and their transformation possibilities still demand thorough
exploration. Foucault has taught us that power games are fluid and relational
and, as such, are prone to instability and insubordination. These concerns
embody the conference’s focus on struggles for domination-reversal enhanced by
media semiosis.
