This book consists of a number of articles presented at the I DUSKE INTERNATIONAL FORUM “LOCAL INITIATIVES TO THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS” that took place at the University of Deusto on the 24th-26th of February 2010. The forum aimed to be a meeting point and a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, experiences and initiatives among participants both from Sylff and non-Sylff scientific and professional communities in the light of the 2007-2008 international financial crisis, focusing on feasible, reasonable and creative alternatives to the current socio-economic world view. Moreover, through the forum we exposed and explored some concrete examples of how ordinary people are dealing with and responding to the financial and social challenges posed by the last crisis of capitalism in their everyday lives.

This volume is a continuation of the EDMIDI series on Migration, Identities and Diversity. It addresses the research topic of transnationalism in global cities from a European perspective. The volume is based on the idea that the study of migration in urban areas should not only be confined to social problems, but that urban areas should also be seen as a strategic site for understanding new trends that reconfigure social order, inequality and conflict.

The growing importance of cultural observatories as main agents for knowledge of culture, its development and evolution is evident in a work that combines the insights of experts and professionals in charge of the different Cultural Observatories in the world, mainly in Europe. The analysis of the origins and transformations that the role played by the Observatory has undergone in recent decades provides the basis for a well-informed discussion about the future of them.

Communication, Information and Media has become one of the most dynamic, exciting and innovative fields of study in our universities today yet it is also one of the most controversial. Never before have the media played such an extraordinarily important role as they do in late modern society; they have become venues not only for information but also for contested social and political configurations, for ideological mobilisation, and for leisure and consumerism. How can we cope with this frenetic rate of change, and how is it affecting curricular models in our institutions?.
Conjunctions and Disruptions: Communication, Information and Media Studies in Europe seeks to answer these questions by offering a transnational, multilayered and transdisciplinary reflection on communication studies in the European Higher Education Area: transnational because it includes contributions from six European countries and eight different higher education institutions; multilayered because it explores different aspects of the curriculum at different levels, ranging from curriculum design to research and teaching activities; and transdisciplinary because it addresses key issues in communication and media research and teaching that challenge traditional disciplinary divisions and venture into hybrid curricular models.
