The salon of 18th century Europe, as is well known, was founded on deep exclusions, including class, ethnicity, and gender. Today’s public spheres are similarly based on deep exclusions, at a time of increasing inequality, forced migrations, chronic political and environmental crises, and intensified debate about the continuation of colonialism’s legacy. The European Media Salon aims to interrogate those exclusions.
Our first series of talks for 2022 will therefore ask leading scholars to debate a series of key topics relevant to understanding challenging those exclusions.

Ukraine, the global crisis and public spheres: An open discussion
The world is not the same after February 24, 2022. Since the first hours of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we are facing no less than a crisis on a global scale. This crisis - comprising security, politics, economics, ecology and, above all, human lives and mentality - now dominates the public spheres and people's minds. The European Media Salon recognizes the urgent need to discuss the current events and discourses. Therefore we have postponed our planned event on the theme of decolonization, and will hold an open discussion focussing on the current crisis and its relations with the mediated public spheres. We invite everyone to join us and raise and discuss topics of concern regarding this shared crisis, the media, and our societies.
