Subject: [ACA-L:2226] A CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS


A CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS:

ELECTRONIC TRIBES:
INTERPERSONAL, SMALL-GROUP, ORGANIZATIONAL,
AND CULTURAL COMMUNICATION ON THE INTERNET
 

A collection of essays on the human tendency toward online tribalism.



Collected and Edited by:



Tyrone L. Adams

University of Louisiana at Lafayette

 

&



Stephen A. Smith

University of Arkansas

 

What does it mean to be in a tribe?  How does one create a shared identity with a tribe?  What are the aspects of tribalism?  Furthermore, does online discourse amplify or alter the realities of tribal instinct?  Electronic Tribes: Interpersonal, Small-group, Organizational, and Cultural Communication on the Internet is a foray into the psyche of the human mind and how it functions in several online communication contexts.  This collection of essays makes the argument that humanity only has the capacity to think and communicate within the parameters of its biological and nurtured tribal instincts.

 

The co-editors of Electronic Tribes are now in the solicitation stage of abstracts, outlines, or finished essays which relate to the theme of online tribalism.  All work must conform to the American Psychological Association's style guide (4th Edition), and must be no longer than 25 pages double-spaced, including references.  Please place all inquiries and submissions to Tyrone L. Adams (tyadams at louisiana.edu) at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.  To date, no agreement has been reached with a publisher.  However, a working prospectus document is in production.
