Great location and always an interesting and thought provoking conference with a very international and interdisciplinary focus. best wishes, Baden Offord Asian Conference on Cultural Studies Art Center of Kobe, Kobe, Japan Thursday, June 2 - Sunday, June 5, 2016 "Cultural Struggle and Praxis: Negotiating Power and the Everyday" In this conference participants are invited to explore and question the ways in which cultural struggle characterises our present times. Given that culture is the fabric of meaning making, understanding its relationship to politics and society is crucial. Cultural struggle, for instance, alerts us to the political dynamics of how meaning making is controlled, contested and communicated through the core institutions of society such as media, education, law, medicine, government, the family, religion, the market and so on - all of which impact upon and influence everyday life. Nowhere is the cultural struggle more evident than in questions of belonging (and un-belonging), identity and mobility; refuge, exile and community. In the convergence of culture and narrative, the contemporary and historical story of the human condition is particularly marked by how power and the everyday are negotiated through the experience of displacement and dispossession or privilege and status. Culture, expressed, articulated and represented through sites and locales, practices, actions and values, identities and forms, histories and memories, myths and traditions, is a pivotal lens through which we are able to understand and interpret the way society works, and to see how power and the everyday intersect.

Regulating online platforms: From AirBNB to Uber Definitions of an online ?platform? is the first stumbling block in the regulation of online platforms. No coherent definition of this concept exists. The economic case for platform regulation Orla suggests that the economic evidence to support regulation is inconclusive. Parallels may be drawn between this debate and previous discussions on mandated access regimes in network industries. This seminar will discuss the grounds on which regulatory intervention may be justified, drawing on internet gatekeeper theory. Orla will present an assessment about whether online platform issues might be better tackled through a wider regulatory framework, rather than through technology specific regulation.

She teaches and conducts research in the areas of data protection, technology regulation, digital rights and EU law. She holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge.
