4-6 September 2014, Oradea / Nagyvárad, Romania

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the launch of Facebook, the most
ubiquitous social media and communication platform in the world. It also
gives us the opportunity to take a step back and examine increasingly
important questions about how Facebook and the new social web have impacted
the world of communication, from debate, discourse and rhetoric to
philosophy, politics, social context, and other forms of new media.
Has Facebook been constructive or disruptive in these different areas - or
perhaps both? How does the ease and ubiquity of online communication affect
longstanding national, generational, ideological, gender and class divides?
We welcome papers seeking to explore such questions, including approaches
that aim to challenge the importance, relevance or timeliness of such
questions.
