> If 'dark matter' is what is unaccounted for in the universe, and is seen
> to be potentially dangerous, then dark leisure is what people do that
> can be seen to be disturbing or troubling. 
> 
> We would like to invite contributions for a proposed edited collection
> looking at the ways that people spend their leisure time pursuing online
> activities that might be labelled unusual, dark, or deviant; for
> example, about dogging and swinging, pro-anorexia and cutting, suicide,
> death camps, and terrorism. This might include discussion boards, email
> lists, chat rooms, advice sought and given, photographs or videos
> shared, and events publicised. 
> 
> Chapters should be empirically based, around 6000 words in length, and
> written in an accessible style suitable for an interested, intelligent
> general audience as well as for an academic readership in
> gender/cultural/media studies and sociology/anthropology. An examination
> of your ethical and methodological issues is required as these are
> obviously sensitive issues. We are also interested in research which
> prioritises issues of gender and sexualities. 
> 
> Abstracts will form part of a book proposal to be submitted to an
> interested publisher. 
> 
> Send abstracts of up to 250 words by October 31st and including a brief
> bio to: Julie Harpin j.harpin at leedsmet.ac.uk 
> 
> Please forward this email to your networks and any colleagues who might
> be interested. Thanks.
