Since initially announcing the ICA preconference Conditions of Mediation, Tim Markham and I have been pleasantly surprised by the interest it has seemed to generate. Now that the deadline for abstract submissions has passed, this pleasant surprise has been matched by an overwhelming number of submitted paper proposals. A difficult task awaits, looking through all those paper proposals. But I think we look forward to it: a good insight into the range of phenomenological (and related) thinking out there on media, technology and communication.

We will be getting back to all who submitted abstracts no later than 20 December 2012 with a decision.
