2024 | The Role of Ethics as a Driving Force in Rapid Digital and AI Development as part of the 7th Annual International Forum on Ethics Academic Responsible Dr. Marzia Coltri, Lecturer, Arden University, UK. According to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, digitalisation and inclusion through developing AI capabilities have had positive as well as negative impacts on our daily lives. Ethics is vital -the golden mean- in establishing a digital and AI-responsible world. As technology continues to shape our lives, it is imperative to ensure that its development and deployment align with ethical principles and the rule of law. The goal of this session is to provide a venue for researchers and practitioners to share their perspectives and participate in ongoing discussions about how AI may be used ethically and inclusively in worldwide governments, organisations and research. By incorporating ethical considerations, we can protect against potential harm and maximise the positive impact of AI advancements on individuals and society. This involves addressing issues such as privacy, fairness, accountability, transparency, and the responsible use of data to create an altruistic and equitable environment. We can use ethics to create a digital world that is not only innovative, but also respects individual rights, promotes justice and well-being, and eliminates cultural barriers. | Abstract Submitting Form |

Participants will debate the need for more critical and reflective communication in the information age, and how philosophy can offer tools for a deeper understanding of messages and mediums. Furthermore, discussions will cover how pedagogy can provide strategies to effectively convey communicative skills and competencies in various contexts. Within this framework, challenges such as ethics in digital communication, media literacy education, and the role of pedagogy in the formation of critical and aware communicators will be examined.

| The Transmission and Maintenance of Diaspora Identity Through time and Generation as part of the 15th Annual International Conference on Visual and Performing Arts Academic Responsible: Dr. Maria-Irini Avgoulas, Academic Member & Casual Academic, School of Health, Medical & Applied Sciences, CQUniversity Australia and Cultural Counselling and Consultancy, Australia. Diaspora communities with their specific cultural identity are found throughout the world and exist on a continuum of redevelopment as they evolve. The experience of diaspora identity and the transmission of memory culture that supports identity maintenance may vary by generation, the original migrants and their descendants born in diaspora. Diaspora community members of all generations may maintain a sense of nostalgia but also negative emotions of not belonging to either their original homeland or the host community. This may be expressed as having two homelands and, in a sense, belonging to both. While potentially enriching, diaspora identity may in fact be more like belonging nowhere and being a stranger in both cultures. This may represent a negative emotion associated with the experience of migration and acculturation despite the generation of membership. This session will explore the transmission and maintenance of diaspora identity through time and generation and consider how associated psychosocial factors and the recreated social environment of the culture of origin may influence wellbeing and the experience of illness that are significant factors in overall health as well as the promotion of health and wellbeing in diaspora. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Wagner and Wagnerism in Philosophy, Art, and Culture: On Deconstructing the Cultural Traces as part of the 15th Annual International Conference on Visual and Performing Arts Academic Responsible: Dr. Elena Rovenko, Academic Member, ATINER & Researcher, Strasbourg University, France. In the fin de siècle era, Wagnerism, as a cultural and philosophical phenomenon, set one of the main tendencies of the artistic thinking in general. Quite in accordance with the Gesamtkunstwerk idea, it influenced various art types (especially, literature and painting) and, later, cinema. The trace of Wagner’s personality, his aesthetic views and principles continues to exist in the contemporary cultural field as an object of different references (historical-analytical, socio-anthropological, including the mentality issue, political, artistic per se), which allow to mention both new ways of interpretation and deconstruction (in Derrida’s version) of the phenomenon, called by Nietzsche Der Fall Wagner. The special session invites researchers to contribute to the study of the semantic shifts that have taken place in the conceptualisation of the Wagnerian phenomenon over a century and a half. The following aspects are present: 1) international features of Wagnerism in art and the specific national forms of its implementation; 2) manifestations of Wagnerism in the visual arts, literature, and cinema; 3) philosophical-aesthetic origins of Wagnerism in different countries; 4) Wagnerism as a socio-cultural discourse; 5) Wagnerism and the creative process issue (in particular, means and results of deconstruction of the Wagnerian artistic thinking from the second half of the 19th century); 6) the political aspects of Wagnerism. The proceedings of the meeting can result in defining the major strategies of implementation of Wagnerism, which have existed up to the present time, as well as their contextual analysis on the background of the epistemological principles of the evolution of human sciences. Keywords: Richard Wagner, Wagnerism, deconstruction, Nietzsche, artistic thinking, Gesamtkunstwerk, interdisciplinarity, human sciences | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Migrants and Refugees in the Mediterranean: Issues of Politics and Policy as part of the 22nd Annual International Conference on Politics & International Studies Academic Responsible: Dr. Domenico Maddaloni, Head, Sociology Unit, ATINER & Professor, University of Salerno, Italy. In the new century, the Mediterranean has increasingly been the crossroads of major migratory movements, not only from the global South in the direction of Europe, but also between Eastern and Western Europe. This has provoked social and political debates and conflicts in countries long accustomed to substantial ethnic homogeneity. What is new in more recent years is that this phenomenon has increasingly been accompanied by a change in the political framework, with the emergence and development of movements strongly marked by anti-immigrant rhetoric. What are the causes of this change? What consequences does this change produce in the national and European political framework? To what extent does it affect national immigration policies and the service system? The purpose of this session is to discuss these aspects of political life in the countries bordering the shores of the Mediterranean. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Visual Literacy and Global Media as part of the 11th Annual International Conference on Library and Information Science Academic Responsible: Dr. Yan Ma, Professor, University of Rhode Island, USA. Since the movable printing, technological advances have made media in many forms reaching out to all corners of the globe in this digital world. This special session provides an interdisciplinary platform to critically analyze visual messages and the social construction of meaning in global media through visual literacy. It presents global media through the lens of visual literacy; the social construction of meaning of global media by applying visual literacy theories; the interdisciplinary nature of global media; a variety of global media for its liberating power of democracy; different types of global media and their social messages on race, gender, class, and cultural dimensions; and the converged global media cultural and visual competencies for diverse communities in this global age. Each presentation will use theories of visual literacy to critically analyze the selected media to present how this type of media enhances/changes work or life or society for its liberating power of democracy, social construction of meaning/messages of race, gender, class, social, cultural, and other dimensions. In a sense, all signs are information. In all media, the position of the subject is situated differently. This condition provides us with the basis for critical analysis of global media.
