Wow, this is amazing! Surely we don't need all the numbers: we can say, for example, that readership from Thailand increased by some huge among over the second week, showing that the website draws topical readers, which makes the poll more relevant. And we can say that the bulk of the readership comes  from SE Asia, especially Thailand and Malaysia... So it might not be necessary to do the hugely detailed stats< especially as the numbers over two weeks are not really generalisable to a trend - we could try and pull them out to a year, but I suspect they would remain the same. What do you think?

Hello, AIR,

I'm writing to let you know about a workshop that we're organizing on March
21 at the MIT Media Lab, bringing together researchers who are interested in studying the Scratch online community <http://scratch.mit.edu>. At the workshop, we'll be sharing a dataset with the first five years of public data from the Scratch community, and discussing ways that people might use this dataset.

Here's a website with more information about the workshop and how to apply:

Cheers.

An International Legal Hackers Data Privacy Hackathon, is happening this weekend, At the NYC location, one group is hacking legal solutions to revenge porn. You can see a brief introduction late in the last few minutes of www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu_H_Bgt9po - where they note most of the raw material comes from selfies.

What is briefly discussed is possibly the creation of a new copyright registration category for what are private thus technically unpublished works, in order that the DMCA can be invoked if the selfies are exploited by others.

Dear colleagues
We are pleased to open submissions for proposals for IR15: Boundaries and Intersections (Bangkok, October, 2014).  To re-familiarize yourself with the call for papers and types of submissions solicited, please see: http://ir15.aoir.org/?page_id=19 .

If you submitted a proposal to the conference last year (through ConfTools) your login credentials should be the same (tied to your email address).  When submitting your proposal, please take the time to read the submission categories and topics carefully, as they are different from previous years.

If you have any queries about the submission process, please email conference chair Erika Pearson ( ir15programchair at aoir.org ).  We look forward to seeing your proposals.

To go directly to the submission site:  https://www.conftool.com/aoir-ir15/

Hi All,

While putting together the Selfies Research Network, I find myself at a
complete loss for names of researchers who have studied mobile photography
practices in Africa.

Anybody have names of authors or articles that come to mind?

Better yet, if you are a scholar studying these practices yourself, we'd
love to have you join our international group.

Feel free to drop me a line personally, and our Facebook group is at:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/664091916962292


Many thanks!
Terri

Hey Terri, 

Not EXACTLY what you are looking for but very close:

	
		
		
	
	
		Paula Uimonen (2013) Visual identity in Facebook, Visual Studies, 28:2,
122-135, DOI:
10.1080/1472586X.2013.801634

	
Abstract:

	
		
		
	
	
		
Seeing your friends in Facebook has become a common
means of social interaction, illustrating a visual turn in
digital media in general and social media in particular.
This article explores visual identity in Facebook, focusing
on the use of profile photographs in the performance of
digitally mediated selfhood. In Facebook, relationships are
increasingly communicated through images, thus rendering
the interactive reflexivity of performance rather visible.
Based on the profile photographs of students at an arts
college in Tanzania, the article discusses the construction of
cultural identities through visual communication.

			By visually expressing their selves through profile
photographs, users engage in the social construction of
reality, crafting their digitally mediated identities in
interaction with their online social relations. The online
performance of selfhood is analysed in the context of offline
social and material realities, to underline cultural
aspirations for global inclusion. Building on
anthropological readings of performance, the concept of
social aesthetic frame is introduced to capture patterns of
digital stratification that encompass the online construction
of networked selfhood in the peripheries of the global
network society. The article builds on anthropological
research on digital media and intercultural interaction at a
national arts institute in Tanzania, using a combination of
digital, sensory and visual research methods.
