CALL FOR PAPERS FOR VIRTUAL IDENTITIES AND SELF PROMOTION AREA
AT THE PCA/ACA 2012 National Conference

Boston 2012 April 11-14

Virtual Identities and Self Promotion aims to examine, explore and
critically engage with the issues surrounding creating a sense of self
in online environments.

We invite submissions investigating and exploring virtual identity
creation and self promotion, including but not limited to the ways in
which users:
•Use social media to create identity professionally, personally,
socially, academically
•Socially construct (gender, race, sex, etc) their identity in online
environments including social media, and other online communities
•Use online technology in order to study language, communication, and
identity construction
•Construct and reconstruct themselves in arenas promoting
user-generated content, such as youtube
•Surveil, adapt, and/or censor their online identities and content,
changing the nature of digital expression
•Create digital artifacts as a way of self discovery and identity construction
•Negotiate online identity with physical identity socially,
professionally, and academically
•Use online interactions for validation of self, emotionally and/or
intellectually
•Are affected by interface design in their online experiences as well
as their identity

Please submit paper proposal abstracts online by December 15, 2011 to:
