Hi all,

Back in November, I asked if anyone had recommendations for
books/chapters/articles on the history of synthetic speech.  (My
dissertation is focused on the nexus of mobile devices and augmentative and
alternative communication, or AAC).

I put together a short bibliography over on the HASTAC blog in case anyone
is interested:

Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any other recommendations!

Thanks,

(Apologies for cross-posting)

Now accepting submissions and ideas for the second annual Pop Culture
Colloquium at DePaul University in Chicago!



The Media and Cinema Studies program at DePaul University is hosting a
one-day celebratory colloquium in honor of the work of Joss Whedon on
Saturday, May 03, from 9-6. This event will feature roundtable discussions
from scholars and fans of Whedon, speaking about the cultural impact of his
work, as well as analyzing aspects of his television shows and films. The
even will also feature special guests, screenings, screenwriting workshops,
and (perhaps) a sing-a-long or two?



The audience for this event is both graduate and undergraduate students,
both fans and scholars, and the focus should be on informed and
enlightening discussion rather than formal academic papers. ?Joss Whedon: A
Celebration? will take place on DePaul?s Loop campus.



If you?re interested in speaking on a round table, please send a 200 word
abstract of your topic and a CV or resume to Paul Booth (pbooth at depaul.edu)

able to join in the discussion and celebration!

With apologies for cross-posting:
Call for papers ? First Monday themed special edition
Napster, 15 years on: Rethinking digital
music distribution
?
Guest editors: Rapha?l Nowak (Griffith University,
Australia) and Andrew Whelan (University of Wollongong, Australia)
?
2014
marks the fifteenth anniversary of the release of the peer-to-peer application
Napster. Developed by a student, Shawn Fanning, with the help of his friend
Shawn Parker and uncle John Fanning, Napster established music downloading as a
mass phenomenon. By 2001, 50 million users had downloaded content with Napster.
Many other applications followed ? Gnutella, Kazaa, LimeWire, eMule, Soulseek,
BitTorrent, among others ?further developing and entrenching p2p technology.
Online
music distribution has been fiercely contested since Napster. Online
availability has changed the way music is produced, sold, distributed, shared
and consumed. While these changes are often decried or celebrated through
well-rehearsed positions, their implications can also be exaggerated, as
attending to contemporary industry business models and persisting analog
formats would suggest. 
Building
on multi- and cross-disciplinary approaches addressing developments in the 15
years since the advent of Napster, we seek papers that advance contemporary
debates associated with music downloading (authorized and illicit) and its
consequences and ramifications. We welcome 300 word abstracts reflecting on the
last 15 years in the realm of online music distribution and consumption. While
attending to this broad aim, proposed articles will also address a more
specific theme. Potential themes may include, but are not limited to: 
* Exchange relations and the circulation of digital objects
* Politics and ethics of p2p practices
* Hyper-consumption, curatorialism and open access music archives
* Online music subcultures and (social) networks
* Domestication of p2p and p2p as/in technoculture
* Communications, transfer, storage, and playback hardware and infrastructure
* Discursive framing: leeches, pirates, free music
* Contemporary music celebrity culture
* Suppression and criminalization of downloading and ?copyfight?
* Aesthetic experiences and qualities of digital music practices and rituals
* 0day, release groups, pre-releases and leaks
* Affordances, affects and materialities of the mp3 format
* The evolution and ecology of music downloading
* Direct downloads, music blogging, and online visibility 
* Monetization, markets and the business of p2p
* Analog formats: continuity and resurgence
* Pre-histories and futures of digital music distribution
300 word
abstracts should be submitted to Rapha?l
Nowak (raph.nowak at gmail.com)by February 21, 2014. On the basis
of these abstracts, invitations to submit papers will be sent out in early
March 2014. Full papers should be submitted by June 20, 2014, and will undergo
the usual First Monday peer-review
process. Invitation to submit a full paper does not therefore guarantee
acceptance into the issue. The themed special edition will be published
November 2014.
This Call for Papers can be found in pdf
format at http://bit.ly/1dnKzFe. Please forward as appropriate to interested parties.

Hi all,
Looks like I'll be leading an independent study on social media with one of
my students. I have a good amount of books on the topic but I just wanted
to inquire which ones you know have worked out best in your classes. This
particular student is also interested in learning about the practical end
of social media. Kind of like a "best practices" book. Or even the industry
end of social media... Again, have some things that addresses the latter
question, but want to know which books you would recommend.

Any takers?

Thank you in advance :)

I wrote a chapter for a book on social media that might be of interest: Social Media: Usage and Impact by Noor Al-Deen and Hendricks (2012) from Lexington Books. 

Best,
