Call for Papers:
Digital Games and Society
A special edition of Information, Communication and Society

Academic research and debate around digital games, gaming industries and
the associated practices has begun to rapidly expand and develop in
recent years. New empirical and theoretical investigations have broadened
previous concerns with text-based analysis and debate over violent
content by exploring more broad social, economic and cultural questions.

Recent technological developments in gaming platforms and network access
have reshaped domestic leisure, social interaction and contemporary forms
of consumption. Further, the growth of mobile gaming, the promise of
always-on gaming connections, and experiments in mediated reality and
pervasive/convergence games (such as EA's Majestic) have raised important
questions about access, identity, privacy and the nature of
public/private spaces which have yet to be fully explored.

In response to these developments Information, Communication & Society
(iCS) are planning to publish a special edition on digital gaming in
December 2003 with Jason Rutter (CRIC, Manchester University) and Jo
Bryce (University of Central Lancashire) as guest editors and hence
invites the submissions of papers for consideration for inclusion.
