From alguzman at niu.edu Sat Oct 1 03:46:59 2016 From: alguzman at niu.edu (Andrea Guzman) Date: Sat, 1 Oct 2016 10:46:59 +0000 Subject: [Air-L] AoIR 2016 - Human-Machine Communication researchers meet-up? Message-ID: Hello all, I am coordinating a human-machine communication researchers meet-up at AoIR. This will be an informal chat over coffee, beer, or even a meal. Human-Machine Communication generally encompasses human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and human-agent interaction. Here is an example of a recent ICA post-conference on HMC: https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ica/ica16/index.php?selected_session_id=1102019&cmd=Online+Program+View+Session&PHPSESSID=t9165vbaukun9iptmk2jk647v2 If you want to be part of the meet-up, e-mail me OFF LIST by Monday so that I can have a general idea of who is interested, and we'll go from there. If you will not be at AoIR or will not be able to make the meet-up, I also curate an e-mail list of HMC scholars. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to be added to that. Safe travels! _____ Andrea L. Guzman, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Dept. of Communication Northern Illinois University alguzman at niu.edu From iweber at qf.org.qa Sat Oct 1 03:58:05 2016 From: iweber at qf.org.qa (Ingmar Weber) Date: Sat, 1 Oct 2016 10:58:05 +0000 Subject: [Air-L] CfP: Digital Data for Nutrition, Healthy Eating and Exercise; Deadline Nov 30 Message-ID: If you're using Internet data for health studies, then the following call for paper might be of interest. The "Frontiers" journals are top-notch in terms of Impact Factor (https://blog.frontiersin.org/2015/06/23/more-frontiers-journals-receive-impact-factors/). == Special Journal Issue: Digital Data for Nutrition, Healthy Eating and Exercise http://journal.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/5186/digital-data-for-nutrition-healthy-eating-and-exercise Dietary behavior surveillance is central for monitoring both public and individual health, as well as understanding its underlying cultural, social, and psychological mechanisms. Heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and even cancer have all been linked to weight gain, and the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates some 35% of adults in US are obese, with medical care and other expenses associated with obesity costing up to $190 billion a year (as of 2012). Large-scale dietary studies of food consumption use questionnaires and food diaries to keep track of the daily activities of their participants. Public health awareness campaigns then use data on dietary behavior across various population segments to tailor their message and intervention techniques. Recently, the Quantified Self revolution has involved the individual in personalized health management, with easy diet tracking, gamification approaches to a more active lifestyle, and online social support networks, opening opportunities for quantitative study both at individual and population levels. The availability of online data is creating unprecedented opportunities to study these issues from new angles as many dietary related behaviors leave digital traces: users search for diet advice on Google, they upload cooking suggestions to allrecipes.com, they turn to online communities for help with eating disorders, they check in at their gym on Foursquare, and they share their #FoodPorn pictures on Instagram. Though such online data comes with its own set of challenges, in particular related to quality and selection biases, recent work shows the potential benefits online data offers concerning scale, richness, social network information, as well as low latency and cost. While computer scientists have the technical expertise to collect and analyze such data, they typically lack the domain expertise to ask the right, impactful research questions and to position their work within the existing body of knowledge. At the same time nutritionists and public health experts might not know how tools such as machine learning can be used to deal with large amounts of messy online data. Through this special issue we hope to strengthen interdisciplinary work that critically analyzes the value that online data holds for dietary studies. We welcome novel contributions that use online data -- including, but not limited to, social media, web logs, search logs, multimedia, social network data, online communities, smartphone applications and mobility data -- to study dietary behavior and healthy weight management for applications both in individual and public health. Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be in line with the scope of the specialty and field to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Manuscripts discovered during any stage of peer review to be outside of the scope may be transferred to a suitable section or field, or withdrawn from review. Submission Deadline 30 November 2016 There will be a short turn-around time with the first round of decisions out by late January 2017. Articles will be published online soon after their final decision, without a need to wait for all articles in this issue to have finished the process.

Important Dates ---------------------- Submission Deadline: Nov 3, 2016 Decision to Authors: Nov 18, 2016 Final Papers Due: Dec 1, 2016 (papers may be revised following the symposium) Symposium Date: Dec 8, 2016 Note that to come to any of the three NIPS symposia, you must be registered either for the main NIPS conference or for the workshops. Early registration with reduced pricing ends at 12:59am on October 6. Website www.MLandtheLaw.org Symposium on Machine Learning and the Law -------------------------------------------------------------- Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence mean that predictions and decisions of algorithms are already in use in many important situations under legal or regulatory control, and this is likely to increase dramatically in the near future. Examples include deciding whether to approve a bank loan, driving an autonomous car, or even predicting whether a prison inmate is likely to offend again if released. This symposium will explore the key themes of privacy, transparency and fairness specifically as they relate to the legal treatment and regulation of algorithms and data. Our primary goals are (i) to inform our community about important current and ongoing legislation (e.g. the EU?s GDPR); and (ii) to bring together the legal and technical communities to help form better policy in the future. We welcome machine learners, lawyers and anyone interested in social policy. Although the impact of machine learning on jobs in the legal profession is an important topic, that is not a key focus of this symposium. Call for Papers --------------------- Authors are invited to submit research abstracts on topics that relate broadly to the themes of machine learning and the law, including but not limited to issues of privacy, liability, transparency and fairness as they relate to algorithms and data. Submissions should be up to 6 pages in NIPS format (short submissions are welcome, longer submissions may be accepted, please contact us if this would help you). Submissions need not be anonymized. Given the novelty of the field, we welcome a wide range of submissions, whether technical, legal or careful thought pieces to stimulate debate and discussion. We are happy to consider submissions that survey and comment on relevant work that has been previously published. We aim to highlight a few submissions in spotlight presentations by authors at the symposium. All accepted papers will be made available on our symposium website, and will appear in an issue of JMLR Workshop and Conference Proceedings (unless authors prefer not). Please see www.MLandtheLaw.org for submission details. Submissions are due Nov 3, 2016 (11:59PM PDT). Sponsors: We gratefully acknowledge support from the Center for the Study of Existential Risk, and the Leverhulme Center for the Future of Intelligence.

Sincerely, Conference Chairs From kneeset at gmail.com Sun Oct 2 17:39:05 2016 From: kneeset at gmail.com (Tamara Kneese) Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2016 17:39:05 -0700 Subject: [Air-L] CFP: Illness Narratives, Networked Subjects, and Intimate Publics Message-ID: Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience *Call for Papers* *Edited by Tamara Kneese and Beza Merid* We invite submissions to a peer-reviewed, themed section of *Catalyst* on the topic of ?Illness Narratives, Networked Subjects, and Intimate Publics.? Illness, injury, dying, and death have been recent sites of scholarly investigation in fields like feminist critical theory, STS, and medical anthropology (Braidotti 2013, Fassin 2007, Jain 2006, Mialet 2012, Serlin 2010). Through the production and circulation of personal narratives about experiences with pain and loss, new publics are created while networked subjectivities are negotiated. Complex publics and subjectivities form through encounters between patients and caregivers, among networks of mourners, and through subjects who trade paradigms for ?how best to live on, considering? (Berlant 2011). Those who are sick or dying may describe their affective, embodied, psychological, and existential conditions over social media platforms, through illness blogs or comedy performances, over Kickstarter campaigns seeking money to help with medical costs, during in-person support group meetings, or in emails sent to update established social networks. Caregivers may give voice to their own experiences through similar outlets, producing and circulating knowledge about their position as care workers who, facing burnout or illness, need care themselves. Face-to-face interactions, privately sent emails, posts on semi-public Facebook walls, and the public comment sections of personal illness blogs all participate in the production of both subjects and publics. Given the complex, relational aspects of illness, injury, dying, and death, submissions might take inspiration from a range of voices, including those in feminist work on affect and embodied care. Possible themes of accepted papers might include: - The relationship between social media platforms and care work - Digital media where experiences of and knowledge production about illness are shared - Imaginings of the self in relation to illness, injury, or mortality - Networks formed, reinforced, or maintained through sickness, dying, and death - New taxonomies of kinship induced by networked publics and experiences of illness - Articulations of and negotiations with biomedical risk - The affects/effects of health and illness - The conceptualization of health as a personal, moral, and civic responsibility - Performances and narratives surrounding illness, death, and enduring - The temporal experiences of illness, dying, and care - Institutional, infrastructural, and personal life spans Titles and abstracts for submissions must be received by *November 30, 2016*. Please send abstracts to illnessnarrativescfp at gmail.com. Selected authors will then be asked to submit draft articles to Catalyst through the online submission portal by *March 15, 2017*. Selected submissions will be published pending peer review.

Thanks for forwarding our job offer to your networks: http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article2271 (also pasted below) -- Melanie Dulong de Rosnay http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article1558 Associate Research Professor (Permanent researcher) French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) Institute of Communication Sciences (CNRS - Paris Sorbonne University - UPMC) -- Temporary research contract on the governance of alternative communication networks http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article2271 The Institute of Communication Sciences (CNRS - Paris Sorbonne University - UPMC) is recruiting a researcher in sociology or management of organizations (at the post-doctoral, PhD or master level with a research experience) for a period of 4 to 6 months to conduct research on the governance of alternative communications networks, as part of the European H2020 project netCommons (http://netcommons.eu/) The interdisciplinary project netCommons (2016-2018) focuses on the study of Internet community networks in Europe managed as commons. Within the project, part of the research focuses on the governance of these communities, which mostly operate as associative, cooperative or non-for-profit entities, and which bring together people with different skills to build and manage telecom networks, considered as commons. In partnership with researchers from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, which also participate in the project, the researcher will study the variety of governance tools implemented within these groups (statutes, regulations, by-laws, decision making processes, etc.) and formulate propositions for improvement to ensure the proper functioning, sustainability and expansion of these communities. Through the organization of interviews, workshops and meetings, this research-action will ultimately lead to monitoring the implementation of these recommendations within voluntary groups. The candidate will either hold a doctorate or be in the process of obtaining one, or hold a master degree in sociology and management of organizations. A good knowledge of the commons theory and of ICT will be appreciated. Very good command of English (written especially) is also necessary. Travels within Europe are expected. The candidate is invited to send to ISCC, before October 23, her/his application containing the following documents: - a resume; - a cover letter; - a selection of works (3 max.). The complete application must be submitted by email to felix.treguer at cnrs.fr indicating ?Application netCommons? in the message title. Selected candidates will be contacted for an interview which will be held on November 3 afternoon in the premises of the ISCC, in Paris, or by video conference if necessary. The contract duration will be 4 to 6 months from February 2017, subject to availability and profile of the candidate who must demonstrate an address in Paris. The monthly salary will depend on the applicant?s level of education and on the remuneration grid of CNRS.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. Why you should submit to ACM IUI: At ACM IUI, we focus on the interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. While other conferences focus on one side or the other, we address the complex interaction between the two. We welcome research that explores how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter, which may leverage solutions from data mining, knowledge representation, novel interaction paradigms, and emerging technologies. We strongly encourage submissions that discuss research from both HCI and AI simultaneously, but also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. Submission Full and Short Papers We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. IUI 2017 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for the design of intelligent interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contribution. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMm5kIEFDTSBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gSW50ZWxsaWdlbnQgVXNlciBJbnRlcmZhY2VzIChJVUkgMjAxNyk6IExhc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFwZXJzCTcyCUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftiis.acm.org%29 special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2017".

Full paper (anonymized 10 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) should make substantial, novel, and relevant contribution to the field. ? Short paper (anonymized 4 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) is a much more focused and succinct contribution to the field. Short papers are not expected to include a discussion of related work that is as broad and complete as that of full papers. ? Anonymization: ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines: 1. Author's names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper. 2. Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process. 3. Self-citations should be included where necessary, but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ..." is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation). Failure to follow these guidelines may results in submissions being rejected without review. Submissions should follow the standard SigCHI format available here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMm5kIEFDTSBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gSW50ZWxsaWdlbnQgVXNlciBJbnRlcmZhY2VzIChJVUkgMjAxNyk6IExhc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFwZXJzCTcyCUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigchi.org%2Fpublications%2Fchipubform%2F .

The purpose of our session is to work as a provocation, a form of interventionist aesthetics and media theory in action which underlines tensions that researches interested in privacy and security can appreciate. The sense of ownership of data related to our bodies is partially a sense of bodily security. Undermining that criticizes both datafication and elicits bodily insecurity for those who have not considered the relationship between wearables and our sense of self. We wish to reflect on how this sense of ownership, possession and sharing and our (dis)comfort around those acts reflect historical power dynamics around social, class, race, and gender identities. Swapping devices asks participants to question those relationships and also interrogates our sense of trust in fellow human actants versus our trust in corporate actors.

Guest editors: ?Antonio Marturano (University of Rome, TorVergata, Italy) ?Jana Vizmuller-Zocco (YorkUniversity, Canada) ? Rationale: InPraise for Idleness (1935), BertrandRussell claimed that ?We have the technology and infrastructure to greatlyreduce the forced workload of the average human, and that should be our goal?toliberate people from excessive work so that they can freely pursue the thingsthat bring them intrinsic joy and happiness.? Russell?s optimistic visionregarding the role of technology, advocates for work reduction which wouldincrease human welfare and liberate people to be able to devote their time to cultureand leisure. Ironically, his optimism does not seem to be justified in light ofrecent economic and technological developments which lead to seriousunemployment rather than cheerful work reduction. The loss of jobs due to technologicalinnovations is starting to reach crisis proportions as many scholars (such asDavid F. Noble, Progress Without People:New Technology, Unemployment, and the Message of Resistance, Between theLines, 1995) and popular press warn (for ex., Eduardo Porter, ?Jobs Threatenedby Machines: A Once ?Stupid? Concern Gains Respect?, The New York Times, June 7, 2016).??There are indeed many voiceswhich decry the unemployment situation exasperated by the replacement of humansby machines, and apparently no job is likely to be immune. The World TechnologyNetwork forecasts that ?Accelerating technological unemployment will likely beone of the most challenging societal issues in the 21st Century?. Although thescholarly work published on the topic focuses mainly on the technical,technological, and market side, assessments which consider the ethical andsocial welfare implications of technological unemployment are still to beaddressed in detail. The submissions to the special issue will contribute tosetting the agenda for this serious and timely discussion. Topics to be explored fromtheoretical as well as practical perspectives include, but are not restrictedto, the following: ????????Therole of governmental institutions in technological unemployment ????????Joblessfuture: is unconditional basic/universal income the answer? ????????Social,political, and economic approaches to welfare in a jobless future ????????Newethical dimensions of work originating from the technological unemploymentcrisis ????????Politicaland social inequality created by a jobless future ????????Strategicplans for skills, education, re-deployment for the technologically jobless ????????Thepolitical control of technological unemployment ????????Welfare,leadership and jobless future ????????Technologicaldisplacement vs technological innovation from the perspective of social welfare ????????Historicalvisions on the ethical impacts of workload reduction ????????Creatingnew values for a jobless future ????????Politicalvalues in welfare and technological disruption in the job market ????????Workas human value ????????Religiousvalues and technological unemployment ????????Lockeargument for private property in a jobless world ????????Conflictingvalues in a jobless world (for ex., the refugees crisis in the EU) Brief for contributors: In line with the editorial aims ofthe journal, this call for papers focuses specifically on the relationshipbetween ethics, welfare, and valuesimplicated in the policies and political strategies on the one hand andtechnologically-driven unemployment on the other. The editors welcome academicpapers which are interdisciplinary in character. Contributions may combinewider ethical and theoretical questions concerning technology-drivenunemployment with practical considerations leading to social policies andprofessional practices (especially the existing and future policies oflocal/national governments and international institutions, such as EU, UN, WTOto cope with the problems of technological joblessness). The special issue, aswith other issues of the journal, welcomes material in a variety of formats,including high quality peer-reviewed academic papers, reflections, debates andcommentaries on policy and practice, book reviews and review articles. Academicpapers should be up to 6000 words, and practice papers, review articles, andother material should be between at a shorter length. Please consult the stylerules laid-out on the journal?s website: www.tandfonline.com/resw. All academicpapers will be double-blind peer- reviewed in the normal way.

The conceptual framework put forward in this editorial and the articles composing this issue add to the mainstream internet governance scholarship by unpacking macro questions of politics and power. They do so through the analysis of the mundane and taken-for-granted practices and discourses that constitute the design, regulation, maintenance, and use of both technical and institutional arrangements of internet governance. Together, this body of work calls to rethink how we conceptualise both internet and governance. *PAPERS IN THIS SPECIAL ISSUE* *Editorial* *: Doing internet governance: how science and technology studies inform the study of internet governance* Dmitry Epstein, *University of Illinois at Chicago, United States* Christian Katzenbach, *Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG), Germany* Francesca Musiani, *Universit?

Here's the info: ?Networked individualism? represents the phenomenon that people are managers of their own personal networks. Networked individualism in an East (and Southeast) Asian context draws attention to the significant role of Asian social institutions and culture in the patterning of personal communities. When compared to Western situations?particularly American?East Asian personal communities are just as vibrant and supportive. They have woven seamlessly with digital media, extend both near and far, and are rich in social support. There are several differences that make East Asian societies unique, such as their strong focus on kinship, the salience of hierarchical social capital, the culture of mutual monitoring occurring through strong ties (e.g., guanxi), and the accelerated rise of digital media in everyday life.

Do companies frame the work of app developers and webmasters? What are the power structures behind Bitcoin? Was the Free Basics controversy in India a clear case of the clash of ideologies? These, and many more questions are tackled within the most recent publication Doing Internet Governance: The Practices, Controversies, Infrastructures, and Institutions of the* Internet Policy Review*. This special issue makes an argument for, and illustrates, the applicability of a science and technology studies (STS) informed approach to internet governance research. An editorial and ten articles by a broad range of scholars aim to add to the mainstream internet governance scholarship by unpacking macro questions of politics and power. They do so through the analysis of the mundane and taken-for-granted practices and discourses that constitute the design, regulation, maintenance, and use of both technical and institutional arrangements of internet governance. Together, this body of work calls to rethink how we conceptualise both internet and governance.

In 1896, the Royal Polytechnic Institution ? today the University of Westminster ? hosted the first ever screening of moving images to a British audience: A set of ten short films by the Lumi?re Brothers. One of these was *Workers Leaving the Factory*. In 1995, German filmmaker Harun Farocki produced a film of the same title, exploring the relation between the cinema and the factory. Farocki asked: W hy have the factory and industrial labour been systematically hidden and disregarded in the history of cinema? Through the montage of similar scenes from the history of film, Farocki depicts the factory gate as a site of social struggle. The gate functions as a metaphor for the gradual eviction of the industrial worker from the factory and the emergence of new forms of cognitive labour. In other words, *Workers Leaving the Factory* marks the exit of the mass worker from industrial capitalism and into what is called the social factory in Italian autonomous theory. Farocki?s films prompt us to ask pressing questions in relation to what today is called cognitive/informational/cultural labour. The event aims to show how contemporary theories of labour allow us to read and interpret the work of one of the key figures in contemporary German cinema and how cinema can inform critical social theory. On this evening, Dr Claudio Celis Bueno (Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies) and Dr Michael Cowan (University of S. Andrews) will be exploring the internal relation between the audio-visual work of Farocki and new theoretical reflections on labour in contemporary society. Drawing lines backwards into film history, the event takes place in the historical building where the Lumi?re Brothers? film was first shown to a British public. We will be just next door to the Regent Street Cinema, which was re-opened by University of Westminster in 2015.

Much social media research has identified the positive opportunities of using social media; for example, how people use social media to form support groups online, participate in political uprising, raise money for charities, extend teaching and learning outside the classroom, etc. However, mirroring offline experiences, we have also seen social media being used to spread propaganda and misinformation, recruit terrorists, live stream criminal activities, reinforce echo chambers by politicians, and perpetuate hate and oppression (such as racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic behaviour). Furthermore, behind the posts are algorithms, power structures, commercial interests and other factors that surreptitiously influence our experiences on social media. So, we ask: * What does it actually mean to use social media for social good? * How can social media be further leveraged for social justice? What are the threats to meaningful participation and how can we overcome these threats? * What do we know about the 4 W's of who, what, why, where (and how) do people engage in anti-social behaviour online? * What theoretical and methodological tools can we use to study anti-social behaviour? Can we detect such behaviour automatically? * What are the ethics of algorithms (inclusion, accessibility, data discrimination, bots)? * What are the legal, policy, privacy, and ethical implications of using social big data? * Considering the proliferation of bots online, can we still trust social media data? * And more broadly, what are the major effects of using social media on political, economic, individual, and social aspects of our society? The 2017 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) invites scholarly and original submissions that relate to the broad theme of Social Media & Society. We welcome both quantitative and qualitative work which crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and expands our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially those that explore some of the questions and issues raised above. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE: The International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) is an annual gathering of leading social media researchers from around the world. Now, in its 8th year, the 2017 conference will be held in Toronto, Canada at Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University on July 28-30. >From its inception, the Conference has focused on the best practices for studying the impact and implications of social media on society. Our invited industry and academic keynotes have highlighted the shifting questions and concerns for the social media research community. From introducing media multiplexity and networked individualism with Caroline Haythornthwaite and Barry Wellman in 2010 and 2011, to measuring influence with Gilad Lotan and Sharad Goel in 2012 and 2013, to defining social media research as a field with Keith Hampton in 2014, to identifying our commitments as social media researchers in policy making with Bill Dutton in 2015, to exploring the future of social media technologies with John Weigelt in 2015, to highlighting the challenges of social media data mining in the context of big data with Susan Halford and Helen Kennedy in 2016. Organized by the Social Media Lab at Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University, the conference provides participants with opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers. The conference's intensive three-day program features workshops, full papers, work-in-progress papers, panels, and posters. The wide-ranging topics in social media showcase research from scholars working in many fields including Communication, Computer Science, Education, Journalism, Information Science, Management, Political Science, Sociology, Social Work, etc. SUBMISSION DETAILS: See online at https://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/ PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES: Full and WIP (short) papers presented at the Conference will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS) and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. All conference presenters will be invited to submit their work as a full paper to the special issue of the Social Media + Society journal (published by SAGE).

The full description of the workshop can be found here: https://ecpr.eu/Events/PanelDetails.aspx?PanelID=4836&EventID=104 CFP: The proposed workshop explores and theorizes how the rise of online platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr, is affecting the spatial configuration of public contention. The goal is to create a cross-disciplinary network of scholars to develop a new dynamic conception of publicness. Rather than simply situating contentious politics within a specific ?sphere? that serves as their container, we are interested in examining how contentious politics unfolds across different geographical, cultural, political and material configurations. The workshop specifically calls for papers that investigate and conceptualize how in contemporary protests relations of publicness are constantly redrawn across the ?local?, ?national?, and ?transnational?. Moreover, it aims to stimulate research on how the technological infrastructures of the emerging hybrid media system, in which digital platforms, broadcast media, and face-to-face communication are deeply entangled, shape the spatial trajectories of public contention. Finally, the workshop hopes to attract papers that critically examine how the intense use of digital media in public contestation, often in combination with alternative media, further confuses the traditional distinction between ?public? and ?commercial? space. In combination, the papers should enable a lively debate on how to research and theorize public contention in the new communication environment. Do we have to revise or even abandon dominant conceptualizations of publicness, like the public sphere, which are very much predicated on the nation state? And if so, what new concepts do we need to understand how the rapid development of digital platforms is transforming the spaces of public contestation? Joint Session Workshops of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) include 15-20 participants and allow in-depth discussion on a specific topic. The 2017 Joint Sessions will take place in Nottingham between 25-30 April 2017. The deadline for submitting paper proposals is on the 1st December 2016.

The ZeMKI, Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research, University of Bremen, organises the international conference in collaboration with the Hans-Bredow-Institute for Media Research, Hamburg and the SOCIUM, University of Bremen. The conference welcomes numerous speakers from all over Europe and the United States who investigate transforming communications against the background of an increasing complexity of the media environment. Richard Rogers (Digital Method Initiative, University of Amsterdam) and Gina Neff (Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford) will be keynote speakers. For today?s life-worlds, media communication is essential: work, leisure, socialization, the public sphere, public engagement, etc. are articulated by different types of mediated communication. Even from a historical point of view it is impossible for us to imagine the multiple and contradictory processes of modernization without media. Today, various domains of the social world are so closely related to (digital) media that they could not exist in their present form beyond media. In this sense, we live in times of 'deep mediatization'. A particular challenge of researching this stage of mediatization is the present complexity of the media environment: It is not one single medium that is the driving force of change. With the spreading of various technical communication media - television, radio, mobile phone, internet platforms etc. - we are confronted with a 'media manifold' which stimulates various processes of re-mediation and transmediation. And as media are more and more software-based and related to the internet, their use becomes entangled with processes of datafication. How can we investigate then transforming communications in times of deep mediatization? How do the figurations of living together change with the media environment? The conference takes these fundamental questions seriously and moves the transformation of communications and figurations through the 'media manifold' into the foreground. The focuses of the conference are the transformation of journalism, religion, education, communities, politics, and public discourse. Beyond this, the conference puts an emphasis on the (digital) methods used to investigate related processes of transformation. It is the concluding event of the Creative Research Unit 'Communicative Figurations', being funded within the framework of the Initiative of Excellence.

The project includes five European research partners besides ITU: London School of Economics (UK), Open Rights Group (UK), Uppsala University (SE), Politechnico di Torino (IT) and Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (DK). The goal of the project is to analyze and map the ethical practices of European hardware and software entrepreneurs, maker and hacker spaces, and community innovators in order to: * understand how IoT innovators enact ethics as they design future devices, * generate a new framework for Privacy, Ethical and Social Impact Assessment (PESIA) * develop tools to support ethical reflection and self-assessment as part the design and development process for IoT technologies. You can find out more about the project here: http://tinyurl.com/zcgmle4 Position number 1: The PhD candidate will be expected to collaborate in conducting multi-sited ethnographic research on ethics practices with IoT developers of technologies. The research, based on observations and interviews in selected European technology development sites, will span the distance between examining developer ethics in practice and key involvement in the application of these insights through interdisciplinary collaboration. To this end, the candidate?s work will lead to the development of tools to support ethical reflection in the technology design processes. The PhD project will result in a dissertation incorporating multi-sited ethnographic observations and accounts alongside recommendations and prescriptions, making a contribution to research in one or more of the following fields: * Human Computer Interaction (HCI) * Science and Technology Studies (STS) * Media Studies and Communication Studies * Design Research or other IT-related interdisciplinary fields. The ideal candidate will have training in social science research methods and ethnographic practice, a strong interest in design methodologies and/or background in HCI or computer science. They will be working within and amongst practitioners in makerspaces, hackerspaces, co-working spaces and attending relevant conferences in the field. Qualification Requirements: * Qualitative research methods training * High level of oral and written proficiency in English, ideally with some oral proficiency in Spanish * Candidates who can document expertise in qualitative research and/or relevant practical experience with IoT design and development will be prioritized * Candidates should have an MSc(or equivalent) in digital anthropology, design, communication studies, HCI, informatics, computer science or similar Position number 2: The PhD candidate will be expected to conduct social network analysis based on social media data and to collaborate with the parallel ethnographic research on IoT developers of technologies. The student will also collaborate closely with the Data Science and Engineering lab, currently being established at Uppsala University, Sweden.

That was ten years ago today! Among parts of the users of the company and the press this event is seen as the sellout of an initially non-commercial initiative to media capitalism. However, statements from the founders made elsewhere leave little doubt that YouTube was initially designed as a "product" that would eventually be "profitable" through advertisement (Karim 2006). In the Coda "YouTube and YouTube Culture Today" of my e-book *Poetics of Early YouTube: Production, Performance, Success* (Bonn: ULB, 2016) I point out where I see continuities and where breaks with the early period of the platform. In particular, YouTube's own increasing involvement in video production during the past couple of years seems to be a change - a change that moves the company away from the 'platform' model towards traditional vertically-integrated models of media production, distribution, and exhibition.

It aims to bring into dialogue work and debate across all fields involved in examining all areas of media and culture. Participations has pioneered a system of open refereeing for all contributions, designed to encourage open, critical debate among researchers. It can be found at www.participations.org. Call for Papers Despite a long established and rich literature on documentary cinema and television, there is still comparatively little research which addresses issues in the reception of the range of content which might fall within the umbrella label of 'documentary media'. This label encompasses celebrated exemplars in cinematic and televisual forms and more recently includes forms ranging across other media, and depending on who is defining the nature of documentary culture, includes everything from photography, drama-documentary, documentary animation (documation), hybrid televisual formats, online and interactive forms, and even documentary comics . Documentary proper has tended, especially within film theory, to draw from an assumed distinctive relationship which audience have with mediations of reality. However, the complexity of forms which draw their rhetorical and affective power from documentary aesthetics and the assumptions they appear to engender is proliferating. Documentary, in its exemplars, assumes a knowing, reflective and literate audience. Other documentary-related forms are driven by more obviously entertainment-centred agendas. How do differently situated audiences negotiate this part of the contemporary mediascape? The aim of this issue is to bring together work which interrogates from the side of reception how documentary is evolving, the implications of the proliferation of documentary and related forms, and the complexities inherent to how viewers of these forms are negotiating their meaning. Possible questions to be addressed might include: 1. What can audience research tell us about the nature of documentary and related media? 1. How can we characterise the nature, characteristics and contradictions of documentary engagement? 2. How do audiences define 'documentary' ? 4. Are there different modes of reading associated with different media forms within the spectrum of documentary and related media? 1. How do audiences understand the nature of ethical practice within documentary and related forms? 2. How do audiences make use of social and political knowledge represented through documentary forms? 7. How do viewers / users assess the nature and integrity of evidence presented in documentary and related forms? 1. Is the notion of indexicality still relevant for contemporary audiences? 9. How do viewers read documation (animated documentary)? 10. How important are paratextual material (including online commentaries), to documentary reception? 11. How do viewers / users assess the issue of 'performance' in documentary and related media 12. How do audiences read mockumentary? 1. How does involvement in video-making and similar amateur pursuits change perceptions of documentary as a form? 14. How do audience understand how documentaries and related media are categorised and made 'findable' through digital distribution channels? 1. How do interactive technologies enhance, or problematize forms of engagement assumed with documentary forms? Manuscripts can cover various media (e.g. cinema, television, theatre, podcasts, photography, online and interactive forms, apps, games, comics, etc.). The editors welcome theoretical essays as well as empirical studies from various methodologies. Please send a 250 word abstract to craig.hight at newcastle.edu.au by November 30, 2016.

Game Studies has, consequently, also taken up debates on diversity and inclusion, time and again. In line with the revitalization of radical reactionary and conservative forces across the globe, the recent bigoted GamerGate controversy saw incisive discussions on gender and questions of race in games have also been at the forefront. Not much, however, has been said about the representation of colonialism, empire and neo-colonialism in videogames although some of the very earliest games have featured these issues, sometimes in problematic ways. As games are part of and perpetuate past and present global power structures in relation to inequalities in material wealth and symbolic representation, to exploitation of labor, and to hegemonic articulations of history and the Other, it is necessary for game studies to not only bring these issues to light, but also critically analyze the relationship between games and existing postcolonial power relationships. Analysing games as disparate as Age of Empires, Far Cry 2 and Assassin?s Creed: Freedom Cry reveal intrinsic questions about how the ludic relates to colonialism and how it informs the postcolonial experience. This open-access special issue of Open Library of Humanities aims to bring questions of Postcolonialism to the forefront of game studies. An often underexplored and neglected area in the domain of studying both digital and analogue games, a critique of the (mis)representation of Orientalist attitudes, race, hybridity, notions of space and the fragmented postcolonial identities is urgently required. We, therefore, seek submissions that provide critical analysis of colonial representations in games and also challenge notions of colonial hegemonic power-structures. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to: * Colonialism / Neocolonialism / Postcolonialism / Imperialism * The Other / Alterity * Decolonization * Hegemony * Orientalism * Postcolonial praxis * Global capitalism / economy * Self-representation / voice / agency * Subalternity * Indigenous culture * Religion(s) / Language(s) / Nationalism(s) * Thirdspace * Eurocentrism * Game studies & politics of knowledge Research articles should be approximately 8000 words in length, including references and a short bibliography. Submissions should comprise of: * Abstract (250 words) * Full-length article (8000 words) * Author information (short biographical statement of 200 words) Deadline for abstracts: 15th December 2016 Notification of accepted abstracts: 16th January 2017 Deadline for full articles: 28th April 2017 Submissions should be made online at: https://submit.openlibhums.org/ in accordance with the author guidelines and clearly marking the entry as [?Postcolonial Game Studies?

The BEREC guidelines are aimed at assisting national regulatory authorities in implementing their net neutrality-related obligations according to the new *EU regulations (2015/2120) *, including by closely monitoring and ensuring ?compliance with the rules to safeguard equal and non-discriminatory treatment of traffic in the provision of Internet access services and related end-user rights?. The Guidelines were received with enthusiasm by civil society ? some of whom see them as a win for net neutrality in the EU ? and with a degree of reticence by telecom operators ? some of whom argue that most of their concerns have not been taken into account. Regulators say their guidelines have found a balanced solution within the frames set out by the regulation, indicated by the observation that both camps in the debate seem equally (un)happy. Mr S?rensen provided a snapshot of the BEREC?s net neutrality guidelines, and reflected on their effect on commercial practices such as zero rating, traffic management of internet access services, the issue of specialised services, and the innovation and rights of Internet users, as well as questions raised by the participants.

Description: Media policy constitutes a neglected sub-field of political sciences and has, traditionally, been relegated to the realms of media and communication studies. However, since it concerns the structures that support and regulate democracy, freedom of expression, and public participation, and since it is of increasing interest to policy-makers on both national and super-national levels, it is an area that could also be of interest for the political-science community. This workshop proposes an occasion for starting such a conversation and fertilizing the ground for increased integration of media policy in the political sciences. Issues of media policy have become pertinent in recent years as technological and social development reconfigures the object of this policy area. So, the workshop will focus particularly on the challenges that digitalization poses to media policy and the questions that it raises. These challenges include - but are not limited to - (1) how traditional media markets such as broadcasters and the press increasingly converge on digital media, challenging the regulatory frameworks and subsidy systems put in place by policy-makers; (2) how digital intermediaries such as Google and Facebook are central actors in citizens' media use but transgress the tools of the same policy-makers; and (3) the extent to which one can even distinguish between "media policy" and other policy areas such as cultural policy, policies of infrastructure (telecommunications), and trade/business policy. Workshop format: We emphasize the workshop format of the event, expecting all authors with accepted abstract to submit full papers before the workshop (see timeline below) and act as designated opponents on other authors' papers (i.e., reading the paper in advance and prepare comments). At the workshop, we will have 45-60 minutes for each paper: 20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for comments from the opponent, and 15-30 minutes for general discussion. This format should allow for time to work in-depth with the paper contributions. The workshop will accept a maximum of 15 papers, and we hope to be able to publish the best of them as a special issue. Timeline: January 15, 2017: Deadline for paper proposals. Proposals should have the form of extended abstracts (750 words) and be sent directly to workshop chair Aske Kammer (aska at itu.dk) March 15, 2017: Notification of acceptance May 15, 2017: Deadline for Early Bird registration July 15, 2017: Deadline for submission of full papers (send to workshop chair Aske Kammer, aska at itu.dk) August 8-11, 2017: Conference Workshop leadership: - Chair: Aske Kammer (The IT University of Copenhagen, aska at itu.dk) - Vice-chair: Vilde Schanke Sundet (Lillehammer University College, Vilde.Schanke.Sundet at hil.no) Venue: The workshop will be part of the Nordic Political Science Association's (NoPSA) XVIII Political Science Congress, which will be held at the Department of Political Science and Public Management at the University of Southern Denmark on August 8-11, 2017.

Call for Papers - Special Issue, 'Consuming Gender' This special issue of Assuming Gender ? an online, peer-reviewed academic journal from Cardiff University ? seeks to explore the way gender is both presented and consumed through popular media and advertising. As Ann Herrmann points out in the article ?Shopping for Identities?, commodities ?are characterised by their dual nature: material composition and symbolic meaning? (Herrmann 2002: 539). Consumer culture plays a significant role in constructing valid (and normative) identity categories with which consumers are encouraged to identify. Scholars as diverse as Americus Reed, Laura C. Nelson, and Henry Jenkins have theorised the ways in which identity and consumer culture are intertwined. Reed, for example, claims in ?Activating the Self-Importance of Consumer Selves? that ?[s]ocial identities are mental representations that can become a basic part of how consumers view themselves? (Reed 2004: 286). In a later article on ?Identity-Based Consumer Behaviour?, Reed and others use the example of athletics to illustrate their point: ?if consumers view themselves as ?athletes?, they are likely to behave in ways that are consistent with what it means to ?be? an athlete? (Reed, Forehand, Puntoni and Warlop 2002: 310). Consumption thus becomes defined by identity, and identity becomes defined by consumption. While the construction of identities based on athleticism seems relatively benign, the case quickly becomes more complicated when consumer identities are racially, economically, or sexually coded. In addition to delineating the borders between various interest groups, consumer culture plays a significant role in establishing and maintaining binary identity distinctions (male/female, gay/straight, black/white), undermining the validity of those identifying across or in-between one or more categories, or who refuse categorisation at all. Those identities not classified as valid consumer groups are not seen as valid identities at all. For this special issue of Assuming Gender, we invite articles that focus specifically on the idea of ?Consuming Gender?. How has consumer culture constructed (and how has it been constructed by) gender through the ages? Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Consuming gender/gendered consumption * Historical contexts of gendered consumption * Feminist/postfeminist approaches to consumption * Consumption and intersectionality * Queer consumption * Media constructions of (gendered) consumer identities * Post/colonialism and gendered consumption Please send a proposal of roughly 500 words to Megen de Bruin-Mol?, Akira Suwa and Dan? van Dam at gender at cardiff.ac.uk under the subject line ?CFP Consuming Gender?, including your name, e-mail institutional affiliation (if any), and a biographical note (100 words maximum). We welcome papers from scholars of all backgrounds, disciplines, and career stages. The deadline for proposals is 16 October, 2016, and completed papers of 5000 to 8000 words will be expected no later than 16 April, 2017.

Existing and proposed regulatory and governance regimes place obligations on those who manage (process, use and collect) data. The end-users of applications provisioned in the cloud and IoT also have certain rights that must be respected ? various parties all bear varying degrees of responsibility, which must be properly managed. Managing these rights and responsibilities is becoming increasingly complex, both technically and legally, particularly due to the emergence of new cloud services and models, as well as because of movements towards collaborative, decentralised and mobile clouds. For instance, the cloud will play an increasing role in supporting the evolving IoT, which exacerbates issues of scale and data management while bringing real (physical) world considerations. Building on the successes of the previous workshops, CLaw 2017 aims to facilitate an interdisciplinary exploration of tech-legal challenges as regards emerging systems technologies. =========================================================== The workshop aims to encompass a broad range of issues where technology and law intersect. Some suggested topics, in no particular order, include: * Technical enforcement of legal regulations, service level agreements, mutual legal assistance requests, and other instruments * Privacy and security in cloud services and IoT * Internet of Things: data sharing, threats, liability, audit and compliance concerns for cloud-supported IoT, fog and edge computing * Application of cloud computing in regulated sectors * Emerging cloud and infrastructure service models (X as a Service) * Issues concerning the interaction between cloud and IoT technologies, and big data and machine learning * Emerging cloud technologies (decentralised clouds: cloudlets, droplets; containment mechanisms) * Compatibility issues between regulation and technical implementation * Regional cloud initiatives (e.g. EU-only cloud), and other data localisation concerns * Cybercrime: phishing, malware and spam proliferation within cloud computing and IoT * Encryption, security technologies and responsibility * Issues of surveillance in cloud and IoT architectures * Anti-discrimination, human rights, privacy and power issues with cloud and IoT * Interaction between cloud and IoT and consumer-facing business models, including the transformations towards crowd labour, algorithmic decision-making and automation The key goal of this workshop is to stimulate a multidisciplinary discussion and new directions on these important issues. As such, we welcome a wide range of submissions, whether technical, legal or thought pieces to stimulate debate. For those technical in nature - fully implemented and evaluated systems are not essential, and application-specific papers are welcome. Papers should be no more than six pages in IEEE format. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore, and at least one author of an accepted paper is required to present the work at the workshop. Important Dates: * Paper submission: Dec 1, 2016 * Author notification: Jan 10, 2017 * Final camera ready: Jan 15, 2017 * Workshop date: 4-7 Apr 2017 (exact date TBD) For further details, including submission instructions, please see http://www.claw-workshop.org/ From jabraun at journ.umass.edu Tue Oct 11 06:58:29 2016 From: jabraun at journ.umass.edu (Joshua Braun) Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 09:58:29 -0400 Subject: [Air-L] CFP: Distribution Matters ICA 2017 Pre-Conference Message-ID: <57595543-b690-da5d-29d5-cd42fd598378@journ.umass.edu> With apologies for cross-posting! ?Josh Distribution Matters // Media Circulation in Civic Life and Popular Culture ICA PRECONFERENCE CALL May 25, 2017 in San Diego [This call is on the web at https://distributionmatters.wordpress.com] This preconference aims to examine how and why media distribution matters to civic life and media culture and the ways in which it underpins issues that are more traditionally examined in terms of media production or textual analysis. After all, many of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing the media industries today revolve around the capacity to circulate media and information instantaneously and more cheaply than ever before via the internet?what Michael Curtin, Jennifer Holt, and Kevin Sanson (2014) have referred to as the "distribution revolution." At the same time, grappling with the signal importance of media distribution in industry and public life also means understanding that this importance is older than, and reaches beyond, today's commercial internet. Scholars from across the field of media industry research?and in other areas including media law and regulation, communication history, journalism studies, and cultural theory?have used a variety of analytical vocabularies to theorize the distribution process. Historian and social theorist Michael Warner (2002), for instance, offers examples from the 17th century press when he argues that distribution is the central concern in the construction of democratic publics. "Not texts themselves create publics, but the concatenation of texts through time," he writes. "Only when a previously existing discourse can be supposed, and when a responding discourse can be postulated, can a text address a public" (p. 90). In other words, reliable distribution networks make possible the individual and collective conceit that when we publish a text we are speaking to the same assembled group over time. Media distribution, then, can be read as the infrastructural heart of "imagined communities" in the style of Benedict Anderson (2006). If, as Charles Acland (2003) argues, "the organization of how, when, and under what conditions people congregate is a fundamental dimension of social life," it is through distribution practices and infrastructures that much of this organization takes place (Tryon, 2013), both historically and in today's media environment. CALL FOR ABSTRACTS We aim to bring together the growing group of scholars who focus on distribution as its own topic of study, as well as other work that intersects with distribution, but has not typically been framed in that way?topics such as internet governance, trending algorithms, digital rights management, media infrastructures, and others. Participants should submit an extended abstract of one to two pages. Accepted abstracts will be developed into papers to be distributed to panelists and other attendees in advance of the event. Abstracts may take the form of brief case studies, position papers, conceptual interventions, or other formats likely to lead to engaged discussion. Rather than lengthy research presentations, participants will present briefly (5 minutes) on their work before participating in a roundtable discussion. Submissions dealing with both contemporary and historical themes and subjects are welcomed, as are submissions from a wide variety of disciplinary approaches. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Distribution and Imagined Community. How do contemporary, legacy, and historical distribution infrastructures, practices, and policies affect the construction of publics and our sense of community? Whether it's a nation's postal network, the broadcast radius of the local television station, the circulation footprint of the local newspaper, the far-flung reach of satellite television channels, or the "calculated publics" (e.g., Gillespie, 2014) produced by algorithms on contemporary online media platforms, we welcome explorations of the ways in which distribution brings together?or divides?publics and public discourses. * Distribution and Media Work. Can a focus on distribution broaden traditionally production-focused accounts of labor in the media industries, whether by considering distribution as an important form of labor unto itself or by exploring the impact of distribution on production work? We welcome accounts that examine what it takes to get content in front of audiences, and the various kinds of labour involved?from PR and marketing work to warehousing, shelf-stacking and transportation. * Distribution and Public Discourse. Much has been said?and debated?about the manner in which digital technologies have allowed ordinary people to distribute their own content, as well as the manner in which a few large online intermediaries have come to dominate revenues and the market for audiences' attention. Digital distribution platforms (and some of their historical predecessors) also present us with a high-choice media environment characterized by filter bubbles and fragmentation. Where do these debates about disintermediation and fragmentation stand today? And what does it mean to examine them in terms of distribution? * Distribution, Public Visibility, and Surveillance. The infrastructures of distribution?the presence of papers on news racks or channels on the dial?have long served to make the audiences for particular media visible to a broader public, as well as to interpellate prospective members of those audiences/publics. At the same time, distribution infrastructures also offer tremendous affordances for surveillance?rifling the mail, intercepting telegraph signals, tapping phones, placing digital cookies, deep packet inspection. We welcome contributions that examine distribution as a tool of visibility and/or consider its role in the business and politics of seeing and being seen. * Distribution, Popular Culture, and Personalization. Digital media is characterized by the contrasting dynamics of increased sociability (through apps, social media and 'sharing') and increased individualization (through mobile viewing, miniature screens, and personalized recommendations). By some accounts, media use has shifted from being a communal, in-person experience in theaters and living rooms to a rather more individual and personalized one, enjoyed by each user on her own personal device. We welcome contributions that examine the changing scale of media experiences through various distribution technologies. * Distribution and Intellectual Property. The one-click model of friction-free digital distribution is still a work in progress. Content providers, streaming services, and digital storefronts jockey for position in ways that have resulted in fragmentation, incompatible standards, and copy protection schemes that alter consumers' relationships with their media and devices. Unsurprisingly then, unauthorized distribution (i.e., piracy) remains a constant feature of everyday media consumption in all countries. We welcome contributions examining the relationship between distribution, IP, and consumption. * Affordances of Distribution, Past and Present. Digital distribution infrastructures include a tremendous number of high-tech affordances for selectively placing content in front of audiences?filters, recommender systems, geolocation/geoblocking, and metadata-based categorization to name just a few. What role do these affordances (and their associated constraints) play in contemporary media distribution and its social impacts? And what historical precedents exist for what we typically think of as uniquely digital phenomena? FORMAT Panelists whose abstracts are accepted will develop them into papers that will be distributed in May to preconference attendees in advance of the event. Participants will introduce, then discuss their papers with other scholars in a series of thematically organized roundtables, with the conversation moderated by a panel chair who participates in the conversation. Roundtables will be held in front of the full audience of preconference attendees; after the initial moderated discussion the floor will be opened to audience questions. The final panel of the preconference will be a reflection by senior scholars on the work and themes of the day. The organizers hope to work with participants following the event to develop a selection of the conference abstracts into papers for a special issue or edited volume. SUBMISSION PROCESS Please email submissions to by November 20, 2016. Authors will be informed of acceptance/rejection decisions no later than December 20, 2016. Accepted abstracts will be posted to the preconference website in advance of the event. If you have questions about submissions or any aspect of the preconference, you may direct them to or contact any of the individual organizers?Joshua Braun , Ramon Lobato , or Amanda Lotz . LOCATION AND REGISTRATION The preconference will be held at San Diego State University's Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union (6075 Aztec Cir Dr.), which is located directly on the San Diego trolley system's Green Line, making it reachable from the conference hotel for just $5 round-trip. For faster door-to-door service, participants can split cab fares to and from the event. More details on transport to and from the event will be provided at a later date. Registration will be limited to 60 persons via a registration code to be issued by the organizers.

Why is social media in southeast Italy so predictable when it is used by such a range of different people? This book describes the impact of social media on the population of a town in the southern region of Puglia, Italy. Razvan Nicolescu spent 15 months living among the town's residents, exploring what it means to be an individual on social media. Why do people from this region conform on platforms that are designed for personal expression? Nicolescu argues that social media use in this region of the world is related to how people want to portray themselves. He pays special attention to the ability of users to craft their appearance in relation to collective ideals, values and social positions, and how this feature of social media has, for the residents of the town, become a moral obligation: they are expected to be willing to adapt their appearance to suit their different audiences at the same time, which is crucial in a town where religion and family are at the heart of daily life.

Is it true that we are replacing face-to-face relationships with on-screen life? Are we becoming more narcissistic with the rise of selfies? Does social media create or suppress political action, destroy privacy or become the only way to sell something? And are these claims equally true for a factory worker in China and an IT professional in India? With these questions in mind, nine anthropologists each spent 15 months living in communities in China, Brazil, Turkey, Chile, India, England, Italy and Trinidad. They studied not only platforms but the content of social media to understand both why we post and the consequences of social media on our lives. Their findings indicate that social media is more than communication - it is also a place where we now live. This series explores and compares the results in a collection of ground-breaking and accessible ethnographic studies.

A few years ago, I felt pretty confident that I could put together a reading list of books on virtual community management and be comfortable it would cover what is needed. But that was before social media. Now (depending on the purpose of a virtual community itself) I might not even recommend a website-based virtual community at all ? for all of the vexed issues of platform ownership, a Facebook group or even Twitter hashtag might be a better solution for some groups. Are you aware of any good books and articles (preferably academic but not necessarily) which bring virtual community advice up-to-date to take into consideration managing virtual communities spread across multiple platforms, some of which a virtual community manager has no direct control over? The books I am currently considering teaching from are: Kim, A. J. (2000). Community building on the Web. Berkeley, CA: Peachpit Press. Powazek, D. M. (2002). Design for community: the art of connecting real people in virtual places. Indianapolis, Ind.: New Riders. O'Keefe, P. (2008).

The art of community: Building the new age of participation (2nd ed.). Sebastopol, CA: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Retrieved from http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/ Kraut, R. E., Resnick, P., & Kiesler, S. (2012). Building successful online communities evidence-based social design. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press. I am also considering: Howard, T.W. (2010). Design to thrive: Creating social networks and online communities that last. Burlington, MA: Morgan Kaufmann He talks about social networks vs online communities but seems to suggest they are mutually exclusive while I would say you can layer an online community on top of a social network or use the latter to bring people into the former. Anyway, I am keen either to find a book that properly takes the new social media options into account when talking about virtual community or at least a book or article that gestures towards the existing conventional wisdom and suggests what the new social media can add. I will happily feed back to the list or interested people the curated list that results... Any ideas?

A few years ago, I felt pretty confident that I could put together a reading list of books on virtual community management and be comfortable it would cover what is needed. But that was before social media. Now (depending on the purpose of a virtual community itself) I might not even recommend a website-based virtual community at all ? for all of the vexed issues of platform ownership, a Facebook group or even Twitter hashtag might be a better solution for some groups. Are you aware of any good books and articles (preferably academic but not necessarily) which bring virtual community advice up-to-date to take into consideration managing virtual communities spread across multiple platforms, some of which a virtual community manager has no direct control over? The books I am currently considering teaching from are: Kim, A. J. (2000). Community building on the Web. Berkeley, CA: Peachpit Press. Powazek, D. M. (2002). Design for community: the art of connecting real people in virtual places. Indianapolis, Ind.: New Riders. O'Keefe, P. (2008).

Design to thrive: Creating social networks and online communities that last. Burlington, MA: Morgan Kaufmann He talks about social networks vs online communities but seems to suggest they are mutually exclusive while I would say you can layer an online community on top of a social network or use the latter to bring people into the former. Anyway, I am keen either to find a book that properly takes the new social media options into account when talking about virtual community or at least a book or article that gestures towards the existing conventional wisdom and suggests what the new social media can add. I will happily feed back to the list or interested people the curated list that results... Any ideas?

My expertise is in the health domain. I think this is quite nice paper (http://www.jmir.org/2013/6/e119/). The health domain is quite tricky because motivations change a lot across disease and health problems. I did several studies in harmful communities that work (aka promoting anorexia as lifestyle). You learn more from bad examples than positive. Let me know if you want more health examples.

We are very interested in inter/cross-disciplinary book chapters that focus on identity, communities, and cultures. If interested, please go to this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0NLr285sb3uSzFmWkp5blBoMVE A sample of what we're interested in include: * how community members respond to local to national events where acts of sur- and sous-veillance occur to protect the interests of those in authority and those of the citizenry, e.g., Ferguson, Flint, and online. * ways surveillance impact culture(s) and influence daily habits and/or lives as it connects to digital rhetoric and writing, e.g., algorithmic discrimination, fitness trackers, Internet of Things objects, social media habits, intellectual property. * how digital rhetoric and writing scholars/educators or communicators inform public and private industries to make reforms to surveillance practices. * how writing educators, WPAs, and administrators address ways surveillance and privacy impact student & faculty composing acts and student identity formation. Again, the deadline for 500-word proposals of webtexts is October 17, 2016. We will notify authors on December 19, 2016 and drafts for chapters are due April 17, 2017.

Little did I realise this was going to be a complete overhaul, re-write and what essentially is a totally new book. So here it is, in e-version, paper and hardback: https://he.palgrave.com/page/detail/Digital-Advertising/?K=9781137494344 TABLE OF CONTENTS * Chapter 1: Digital: The Capacity to do Things They Never Could Before * Chapter 2: The History and Business of Digital Advertising * Chapter 3: How it Works: Standard Digital Media * Chapter 4: How it Works: Non-Standard Digital Media * Chapter 5: Creativity * Chapter 6: Beyond Interruption: Attention, Authenticity and Being Native * Chapter 7: Media Hacking * Chapter 8: Adblocking and Fraud: Threats to Advertising * Chapter 9: Advertising to Children: Regulations and Ethics for Digital Media * Chapter 10: Ad-tech: Analytics, Big Data, Profiling and Identity * Chapter 11: Empathic Media: Emotiveillance and the Future of Out of Home Advertising * Chapter 12: Privacy: The Case of Mobile Apps for Android * Chapter 13: Conclusions: Reconciling Art and Science in Advertising BLURB In order to comprehend modern media, we need to understand how advertising works. Digital Advertising provides an assessment of contemporary and emergent advertising techniques that drive the world's largest media companies. The second edition has been fully updated to account for the re-shaped advertising industry and transformed media landscape since the publication of the first edition, taking on topics including the creative uses of technology, novel modes of storytelling, adblocking, the pre-eminence of analytics and big data, privacy, growing interest in data about emotional life, and alarm about the role of artificial intelligence and automation in advertising. Incorporating an increased number of case studies and analyses of campaigns, this timely and engaging text is an essential resource for students, academics and anyone interested in advertising and media. ENDORSEMENTS McStay's updated study presents the most complete, revealing and accessible overview of digital advertising and its insatiable expansion. Robert Crawford, Associate Professor of Public Communication, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. A comprehensive and practical text that provides conceptual understanding and a wealth of case material to illustrate a number of important topics that are germane to this dynamic and quickly moving field.

The conference is run in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference. The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by a discussion with senior researchers. ELIGIBILITY We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the DC. SUBMISSIONS To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of graduation. The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogRmlyc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgRG9jdG9yYWwgQ29uc29ydGl1bQk3OAlMaXN0cwkyNDcJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fcomputer%2Flncs%3FSGWID%3D0-164-2-793332-0%29 and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogRmlyc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgRG9jdG9yYWwgQ29uc29ydGl1bQk3OAlMaXN0cwkyNDcJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcmt3.research.microsoft.com%2FADBISDC2017. In case of multiple files, please submit a single compressed file (zip or rar). After logging into CMT, please choose the "ADBIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium" track. REVIEW PROCESS Each paper submitted to the DC will be reviewed by at least two members of the DC program committee and will be judged based on originality, technical merit, presentation quality, and relevance. The authors of successful submissions must take into account the reviewers' comments during the preparation of the final version and describe the changes in a separate document to be submitted together with the final camera-ready version. The program committee reserves the right to reject a paper if the final version does not meet the requirements above. Applications not adhering to the provided guidelines (including page limits) will not be considered. The authors of accepted papers must register to the conference, attend the DC and present their work. PROCEEDINGS The DC papers will be published by Springer, together with the ADBIS workshops proceedings, in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing series. IMPORTANT DATES ?

The deadline has been extended for Philosophy and Technology?s special issue on Ethical Risk Assessment in Biomedical Big Data. New deadline for submissions: October 31, 2016 Call for Papers for Philosophy and Technology?s special issue on Ethical Risk Assessment in Biomedical Big Data GUEST EDITOR Brent Mittelstadt, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford INTRODUCTION In biomedical research, the analysis of large datasets (Big Data) has become a major driver of innovation and success. ?Biomedical Big Data? (BBD) describes the complex and new set of technologically-driven phenomena focusing on analysis of aggregated datasets to improve medical knowledge, public health, clinical care and commercial health and well-being devices and services. Machine learning and algorithmic categorisation can increasingly make sense of the seemingly endless data emerging from sensors, wearable devices, clinical observations, clinical trials, social and online platforms which provide insight into the behaviours and physiology of individuals. BBD is expected to provide new ways of understanding health and well-being at the level of the individual and society, for example by predicting behaviours, monitoring diseases and outbreaks, and providing risk stratification for individual patients. Epidemiology, infectious disease research, and genomics and genetics are already deeply affected. However, the collection, storage and analysis of BBD potentially raises serious ethical problems which may threaten the huge opportunities it offers. To avoid foreseeable problems and react quickly to emergent issues, the planning and deployment of BBD must include proactive ethical risk assessment. To contribute to this critical step, this special issue of Philosophy and Technology aims to map new, under-researched but important issues, concepts and cases that should be considered in proactive ethical assessment of emerging BBD platforms and services. TOPICS We request the submission of research articles addressing topics including: ? Theories and concepts critical to the ethical assessment of biomedical Big Data in particular ? Required modifications to informed consent in response to the scale and complexity of BBD ? Alternatives to informed consent for BBD governance ? Group-level protections, harms and benefits ? Ethical principles for governance of BBD platforms ? Applicability of traditional medical research ethics principles to BBD ? Privacy, de-identification and research subject rights to data access ? Ownership of intellectual property generated from BBD ? Uses of BBD for empowerment or improvement of patient experiences ? Implications of data-intensive clinical experiences for the doctor-patient relationship ? Implications of the crossover between personal health devices and BBD research, e.g. Apple HealthKit ? Impact of the European General Data Protection Regulation on both biomedical research and personal health/wellness services ? Policy recommendations and requirements for poorly regulated BBD practices ? Empirical studies/cases of existing Big Data practices that demonstrate critical ethical issues, concepts and solutions TIMETABLE ? October 31, 2016: Deadline for paper submissions ?

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. IUI 2017 is pleased to invite tutorial proposals. Tutorials offer the community an opportunity to learn about the state-of-the-art concepts and techniques and allow the presenters to share their expertise. We invite proposals from active researchers and experienced presenters. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research and development in a specific area strongly related to IUI. Tutorials on interdisciplinary areas, novel or fast growing directions, and significant practical applications are also encouraged. Each accepted tutorial will receive one free IUI 2017 registration. Submission Guidelines The proposals should be PDF documents not exceeding 3 pages, submitted by e-mail to the tutorial chairs at: tutorial2017 at iui.acm.org. We encourage prospective presenters to contact the tutorial chairs in advance and discuss their tutorial ideas. Each tutorial proposal should provide the following information: ?

We are interested in papers on all aspects of digital preservation in the domains of arts, social sciences and humanities. CFP below: DPASSH 2017 Call for Papers The Sussex Humanities Lab and the Digital Repository of Ireland are pleased to announce that the second Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Science, and Humanities conference will take place 14-15 June 2017 at the University of Sussex, Brighton. The CFP has now been released, the submission deadline is midnight Sunday 11 December 2016 (GMT) Website: www.dpassh.org Twitter: @DPASSHConf Email: dpassh2017 at gmail.com DPASSH 2017 Conference Theme: ?Preserving Abundance: The Challenge of Saving Everything? The collaboration between SHL and DRI focuses on two major challenges for long-term digital preservation: maintaining access to the form and functionality of digital objects, and managing, filtering, interpreting, and critically engaging with these petabytes of information, now and in the future. While developments in long-term digital preservation enable ongoing access, the question of how these developments impact the way we interact with, use, reuse, investigate, and interpret our heritage, remains. What, for example, are the cultural and scholarly repercussions of saving ?everything?? DPASSH 2017 will, for instance, explore the implications of asking disciplines that evolved in a world of scarcity, to engage with an expanding abundance of historical records. As such, DPASSH 2017 will focus on both the technical, cultural, and societal challenges of digital preservation and the impact on research when (and if) everything is saved. It asks: now that the human record is digital, what methods, approaches, tools, or skills will researchers, and society, require to understand these colossal datasets? Submissions are particularly sought from researchers, practitioners, and scholars in the fields of digital history, digital humanities, digital materiality, digital performance, digital arts and music, cultural heritage and research institutions, as well as libraries, archives and industry. We also invite submissions for papers that critically reflect on any area relating to digital preservation in the humanities and social sciences, arts, and cultural heritage domains. Conference themes include but are not limited to: Preserving digital humanities research; Capturing and archiving artistic performance; Methods and tools for computational humanities and/or digital history; Preservation metadata as research objects; Linking research data and ?publication?; Stakeholder engagement and community approaches to preservation; Advocacy and national approaches to sustainability and open access; Aesthetics of preservation and content curation; Preservation and Trust; Technical challenges posed by datasets in arts/humanities/social sciences;Preservation and discovery infrastructures, software and tools. We look forward to welcoming you to Brighton.

These changes call for novel analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the 2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g., documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science, art, and the humanities. This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a practitioners? day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of posters and demos. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities, librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate. TOPICS JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development, hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design; scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics in digital libraries. SUBMISSIONS Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community?s attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference. All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers]. All accepted papers will be published by the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. ------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE GENERAL CO-CHAIRS * Robert H.

Every 18 months, the FM symposium attracts practitioners and researchers from industry and academia to present and discuss the most recent results and experience in formal methods. Those who join us in Cyprus this year will enjoy a highly selective programme of papers covering the broad range of formal methods, as well as a featured track on industry practice. Workshops will provide an opportunity to work in smaller groups on current challenges; tutorials will allow the acquisition of new skills; and a doctoral symposium will offer advice and encouragement to researchers just beginning their careers in this exciting and rapidly evolving field. The conference will take place in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol is the second largest city in Cyprus. It is located on the south coast of the island, between the ancient towns of Amathus and Kourion. Limassol is renowned for its extensive cultural traditions, and it offers a wide spectrum of activities and a number of museums and archaeological sites to the interested visitor. Indeed, this richly cultured, cosmopolitan, seaside city has become one of the most important tourism destinations in Cyprus. The venue of the summer school will be the 5-star St. Raphael Resort, located on one of the most renowned and largest beaches, only a short coastal drive from the lively centre of Limassol.

We have several spots left for the masterclass and colloquium on connected migrants: encapsulation and cosmopolitanism in Amsterdam 14-16 December 2016. The registration deadline has been extended. Kindly register before November 28. If you have questions, do get in touch! Best wishes, Koen. ?Today, every society is just a collection of diasporas. People join the societies to which they are loyal and pay their taxes, but at the same time, they do not want to give up their identity. The connection between where you live and identity has been broken? ? Zygmunt Bauman (http://elpais.com/elpais/2016/01/19/inenglish/1453208692_424660.html) ?Most people use social media not to open their horizons wider, but to lock themselves in a comfort zone? ? Zygmunt Bauman (http://elpais.com/elpais/2016/01/19/inenglish/1453208692_424660.html) World renown emeritus professor Zygmunt Bauman will assess contemporary formations of the internet, diaspora, migration and multiculturalism on a public lecture on Friday 16, from 15.00-16.30. The KNAW (The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) has granted funding to Prof. Sandra Ponzanesi and Dr Koen Leurs. In December 2016, they will organise a KNAW Academy Colloquium entitled ?Connected migrants: encapsulation or cosmopolitanism?? with 16 international experts. Koen Leurs & Sandra Ponzanesi will organise a two-day seminar and a one-day masterclass for advanced PhD students and emerging scholars. ENCAPSULATION AND COSMOPOLITANISM In our contemporary world, migrants should be considered as 'connected migrants'. More than ever before, migrants can chose between different technologies to be in contact with loved ones living in their country of origin. This colloquium will innovatively address how digital practices of migrants revolves around the dialectic of 'encapsulation' and 'cosmopolitanism'. Previously, scholars singled out one or another of these processes. 'Homophily', the assumption that 'birds of a feather flock together', is popular among those who argue that transnational communication hinders integration and leads to segregation and radicalisation. Scholars however also contend that migrants can be present in both their host society and their homeland . Seen this way, migrants can connect with their homeland and diaspora, forming bonding capital and developing bridging, cosmopolitan capital by connecting with their host society. Although contested, cosmopolitanism is indispensable as a 'grounded category' to capture everyday reflexive imaginations of openness between self, other and world among elite and subaltern subjects. This colloquium innovatively brings experts in the field together to acknowledge how boundary making and cosmopolitanisation operate simultaneously and grasps social, cultural and political implications of migrant digital practices as grounded in everyday practices. Confirmed speakers include Prof. Zygmunt Bauman Prof. Miyase Christensen Dr. Dana Diminescu Dr. Alexander Dhoest Prof Godfried Engbersen Prof. Radhika Gajjala Dr. Myria Georgiou Prof. Cees Hamelink Dr. Gavan Titley Dr. Nishant Shah Dr. Sanjay Sharma Dr. Kevin Smets Prof. Huub Dijsselbloem Dr. Farida Vis Dr. Roopika Risam Dr Saskia Witteborn Dr. Kishonna Gray We also welcome PhD students, early career researchers and advanced students interested in the topic to apply for this exciting masterclass preceding the colloquium on December 14, 2016 in Amsterdam. International experts Farida Vis, Kishonna Gray & Roopika Risam will equip participants with a solid theoretical grounding and methodological skillset to analyse migrant connectivity practices. See https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/is/staff/vis, http://www.kishonnagray.com and http://roopikarisam.com. Sign up before October 15, 2016! ? deadline extended to November 28. Questions?

Thought many on this list that look at online news imagery would find of great interest my latest that looks at a 48 hour period last week of over 1.3 million news images from news outlets worldwide and ran them all through Image::ExifTool to pull all of the available metadata fields out of each image. In total there were more than 5,000 distinct metadata fields found across the collection. Various statistics on the average age of news images (just over a third of news images that contain date information are from the last 24 hours, while more than a quarter of news images are more than a year old, reflecting file and stock photos), while mobile phones are found to account for a growing fraction of news imagery: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2016/10/19/the-hidden-world-of-news-imagery-exif-metadata-iphones-as-news-cameras/ For those interested in deep diving, here is a special extract of just the metadata in JSON format: http://blog.gdeltproject.org/vgkg-2-0-metadata-stats-at-2-weeks/ ~Kalev http://kalevleetaru.com/ http://blog.gdeltproject.org/ From sally at sally.com Wed Oct 19 20:01:28 2016 From: sally at sally.com (sally) Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 20:01:28 -0700 Subject: [Air-L] advice on course readings In-Reply-To: <97DC0D58-F985-43BC-AFC0-795EADD4CA9F@ncsu.edu> References: <97DC0D58-F985-43BC-AFC0-795EADD4CA9F@ncsu.edu> Message-ID: HI Adriana, Hope all is well.

(working title) from Pantheon Books. It?s my hope that this book will offer a bit of an electrical jolt to the whole internet research and internet history field, since while PLATO had essentially nothing to do with the internet (although both projects share common funding from ARPA/NSF), much of what internet research explores certainly applies to PLATO, arguably the most significant yet virtually unknown and misunderstood historical antecedent of them all. A tiny slice of PLATO: ? eLearning from 1960 onward ? time-sharing from early 1961 onward ? online courses offered for college credit from 1962 onward ? gas-plasma flat-panel touch-sensitive hi-res graphical displays from 1972 onward ? instant messaging, chat rooms, message forums from 1973 onward ? email from 1974 onward ? online consulting via chat and remote screen sharing from 73 onward ? ability to leave online comments on any program or aspect of system, something the web still lacks ? multiplayer games starting in 1969, then exploding in 72-73+ ? space/flight simulators and graphical MUDs from 1974-75 onward ? virtual goods being bought and sold for real-world cash from ~1977 onward ? a crowdsourced blog / online daily newspaper starting in 1974 ? early forms of social group formation/online cliques, before era of social networks ? A community confronting many of the same issues we study today: online addiction, cyber-bullying, cyber-censorship, cyber-surveillance, cyber-privacy, cyber-security (back in an era when the computer was literally a Cyber) Fasten your seatbelts, 2017 is going to be fun. - Brian Brian Dear PLATO History Project Santa Fe, NM brian at platohistory.org > On Oct 19, 2016, at 6:45 AM, Adriana de Souza e Silva wrote: > > All, > > I?m teaching a graduate seminar for MS and PhD students called ?internet and society? next spring. > > I?m looking for good readings (book chapters and/or journal articles) on two subjects: > - history of asynchronous communication platforms (USENET, BBS, blogs, wikis, etc.) > - history of synchronous communication platforms (MUDs, chat environments, etc.) > > I find a lot of stuff on specific uses of blogs, twitter etc, but very little on their historical antecedents.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations.

Immersive Storytelling in Digital Ecosystems SUBMISSION DUE DATE: 15 January 2017 PUBLICATION: International Journal of E-Politics OBJECTIVE OF THE THEMED ISSUE: This special issue invites submissions on the E-Politics of Immersion with a particular interest in Immersive Storytelling in Digital Ecosystems. With Facebook's $2 billion acquisition of start-up company Oculus and its virtual reality (VR) head mounted headset-technology Rift, the intricate dynamics between media platforms and how they affect the mechanics of everyday life are about to change drastically. Facebook's investment in VR is part of a strategy to expand its digital ecosystem to full sensory technology and fully engage users through immersive content strategies in a mediated environment. In the age of massive media consumption and the digital performance of the self, of binge watching, selfies and transmedia narratives, immersion becomes a defining element for the understanding of our times. Emerging, interactive content strategies, in which both authors and audiences contribute meaning, embodiment, and emotions reframe immersive storytelling as a site for the production of new, alternative, and inclusive content ideas, where old identities and new social formations are contested and ?worked out?. But what does it mean to be fully immersed within a narrative? Immersive storytelling has much to do with a feeling of presence, the ?make-believe? of being involved, engaged and attached to a mediated narrative as a psychological and physiological sensation. While immersion in VR technology offers the opportunity to be surrounded by and move and act within representional spaces, it can be seen as the culmination of a long history in the creation of immersive environments. Immersive storytelling can be found in many traditional approaches in cinematic, theatrical, and literary research, but especially interactive and transmedia storytelling, 360? videos on YouTube, VR based theme parks, VR animated content, drama series, and VR games design pose questions how immersive mediated narratives can and should be, in which way they influence our media consumption, and how they relate to immersion as a sociocultural phenomenon and the powers, strategies, and dynamics of digital ecosystems. We invite papers that explore highly innovative ideas and/or paradigm shifts in conventional theory and practice of immersion and immersive storytelling. The International Journal of E-Politics is interdisciplinary so we welcome any disciplinary, theoretical or methodological approach, insights on usage scenarios and applications, and aspects of narrative technologies from a large range of fields and disciplines related to immersion and immersive storytelling, including computational narrative, narratology, media studies and media production, drama and performance studies, game studies and games design, semiotics, interactive arts, cognitive science, human-computer interaction and transmedia studies. We also encourage original contributions that explore the issues at any level i.e. individual or social, national or transnational. SUGGESTED TOPICS: We are interested in topics that include (but are not limited to) the following: * Theories and aesthetics of immersive storytelling e.g. spatial, narrative, social, lucid dimensions, etc. * Poetics of Immersion e.g. immersive storytelling in digital games, film and television, literature, non-fiction and documentaries, social media platforms, journalism, as tools for learning and teaching, in roleplays, theatre and improvisation, live installations, museums, etc. * Immersive Narratologies e.g. immersive storytelling in relation to traditional dramaturgies, interactive, multimedia, transmedia storytelling, etc. * Role of user/audience in immersive storytelling e.g. audience research approaches, augmented and virtual reality, fandom, health concerns, etc. * Role of author/designer in immersive storytelling e.g. script writing, format development, media production (360? cameras, editing software), etc. * Methods/frameworks for testing story development and user experiences (case studies, post-mortems and best practice) * Immersion and immersive storytelling as sociocultural phenomena e.g. Pok?mon Go, Snapchat, binge watching, fandom, social media, etc. * Immersion and immersive storytelling on digital ecosystems e.g. Facebook?s strategy for VR, Netflix, VR ?console war? (Oculus, Sony, HTC), etc. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers from any field of enquiry that deal with immersion and immersive storytelling are invited to submit papers for this themed issue. All submissions are due by January 15, 2017.

Message-ID: UCL Why We Post lecture steamed live on Periscope Time: 1pm (London) / 2pm (Berlin) / 8am (New York) Free to attend, broadcast by @ucl on Periscope -------------- We are delighted to announce a live-streamed lecture about Why We Post by Professor Daniel Miller that may be of interest to members of this list. This UCL lecture will be live-streamed around the world next week on the Periscope platform, in the first partnership of its kind with a UK university. The lecture, taking place on Monday 24 October at 1pm (BST), will be given by UCL Press author Professor Daniel Miller (UCL Anthropology) as part of the MSc programme in Digital Anthropology. Available for iOS and Android devices, the Periscope live-streaming video app gives everyone the ability to share and watch live broadcasts from their mobile phone, enabling interactive two-way communications between broadcaster and viewer in real time. During a live stream, viewers can connect directly with the broadcaster by sending messages or sharing their support by tapping the screen to send Hearts. The app was acquired by Twitter in early 2015, shortly after it was launched. This will be the first academic lecture to be Periscoped in partnership with a university and is based on findings from the 'Why We Post' research project - which investigated how social media is used around the world. This landmark project saw nine UCL anthropologists each spend 15 months living in eight countries in communities as varied as an English village, a factory town in North China, and a community on the Turkish-Syrian border. Each team member conducted in-depth analysis into how the local populations behave and interact across social media channels and how these platforms are impacting on the way we live our lives, with the findings available via a dedicated website with more than 100 films, a free e-learning course (MOOC) on FutureLearn and 11 Open Access books published by UCL Press. The course and website are available in eight languages. About Why We Post Why We Post is a project by nine anthropologists who conducted nine simultaneous 15-month studies on the uses and consequences of social media around the world. Sites included a factory town and a rural town in China, a town on the Syrian-Turkish border, low income settlements in Brazil and Chile, an IT complex set between villages in South India, an English village, and small towns in Italy and Trinidad. www.ucl.ac.uk/why-we-post From lori.emerson at gmail.com Mon Oct 24 11:10:24 2016 From: lori.emerson at gmail.com (Lori Emerson) Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 12:10:24 -0600 Subject: [Air-L] recruiting students for the Intermedia Arts, Writing, Performance PhD // U Colorado Boulder Message-ID: Dear all, Applications are now being accepted for the University of Colorado at Boulder's practice-based PhD in Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance. We would be grateful if you would pass this announcement on to any students or colleagues you think might be interested in our program, especially as we are trying to continue building as diverse a cohort as possible. The Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance (IAWP) unit is entering its second year and is an interdisciplinary digital arts and humanities research unit with a practice-based PhD. Located in the University of Colorado's College of Media, Communication and Information, IAWP's core faculty collaboratively investigate past and present forms of digital art, writing, and performance and offer graduate students a hands-on, experiential-based learning environment in which to explore emerging forms of creativity triggered by practice-based research methodologies. The research conducted in the program reflects the rapidly transforming knowledge systems and digital media economies emerging from the substantial technological shifts currently taking place in our society. Digital creative work and critical media literacy play a defining role in our information society and are transforming all aspects of contemporary life, including the way many professional visual artists, multimedia performers, writers, publishers, digital humanists and archivists pursue their practice. Traditional scholarly and creative work outputs such as the single-authored print book or conventional gallery exhibitions have already been challenged by the emergence of multi-authored and/or hybridized forms of transmission such as Internet art sites, electronic literature, live audio/visual performance, multi-platform storytelling or transmedia narratives, software art, interactive installations for public spaces, augmented reality, game art, networked media activism, and innovative art applications for mobile devices and tablets. IAWP?s internationally-renowned and affiliated faculty network collaborate with graduate students probing the significance of a digitally-expanded, process-based research environment located in a cluster of interdisciplinary research labs. The program provides a flexible pedagogical structure that will lead to the creation of new and hybridized forms of art, writing, performance, scholarship, theory, design, curation, exhibition, and publication appropriate for our current cultural moment. The program concentrates its curriculum on digital forms of creativity so as to cultivate cutting-edge investigations into the practice, theory, history, and philosophy of media and its relationships to creativity, communication, technology, and information.

From louisah at bgsu.edu Wed Oct 26 07:26:33 2016 From: louisah at bgsu.edu (Louisa Shu Ying Ha) Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 14:26:33 +0000 Subject: [Air-L] CFP: JMCQ special issue: Social Media in Political Campaigning Around the World Message-ID: Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly Special Issue, Call for Papers Social Media in Political Campaigning Around the World The growth of social media worldwide has been simply unprecedented. Latest statistics show that more than ? of US adults use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, with social network use becoming almost ubiquitous among young adults, according to recent data from the Pew Research Center. Globally, an estimated 2.2 billion people use social networks on a daily basis, with that number projected to reach 2.5 billion by 2018. With their tremendous growth, social media have become an indispensable part of modern political campaigning, both in the United States and internationally. The increasing importance of social media among potential voters has not gone unnoticed by politicians. Hillary Clinton, for instance, launched her 2016 presidential campaign on Twitter and YouTube in an effort to reach a younger demographic and create a more accessible image among the public. As politicians increasingly rely on social media to get their messages across, the potential impact of social media in politics has become the focus of a growing number of research studies. Yet there is a lack of thorough understanding of the ways in which social media engagement affects voters, and a clear need to develop more comprehensive and inclusive models that go beyond simple linear relationships and take into account personal and psychological predispositions. There is also a need for more theoretically-driven content studies that examine social media as part of the larger ecosystem along with traditional media. With the upcoming 2016 US presidential elections, scholars have a timely opportunity to contribute to theory-building and revisit underlying key questions such as: How has social media use by political candidates evolved over time? Is there any conclusive evidence that politicians? use of social media tools increases their favorability or strengthens citizen engagement? What are the key factors that may mitigate the effects of social media on voters? Do these effects hold true in different contexts and for different platforms? Most importantly, does stronger reliance on social media motivate voters to retain higher levels of political knowledge or political participation, and if so, what are the underlying mechanisms? Given the evolution of social media use over time, the growing importance of social media for politicians around the globe and the lack of comprehensive theoretical understanding of the social media political content and use, underlying processes and potential effects, this special issue of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly has the potential to fill an important gap in the political communication literature. Combining a number of articles under this research umbrella could lead to important theoretical and methodological contributions, and also bridge several disciplinary domains including journalism, mass communication, new media and political science. Contributions: The proposed special issue will focus on the content and use of different social networks?such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, and YouTube?and their perceived and observed effects during most recent political campaigns in the United States and internationally. There is a need for more research on how social media function in a global context. Producing a volume that goes beyond stand-alone research studies and that combines individual articles in a comprehensive journal issue allows for better understanding of the underlying processes and potential outcomes of social media use across various demographic groups and different national contexts. Contributions may employ a variety of methodological approaches, both qualitative and quantitative, and could explore different forms of social media use for political purposes. Submissions are encouraged to examine a range of political outcome variables, including but not limited to campaign interest, political knowledge, and political and civic engagement. Both US-based and international authors can share most recent research findings related to innovative uses of social media in politics and discuss some of the opportunities and challenges brought by social media nationally and globally. The purpose of this special issue is to provide an opportunity for theory-building toward more comprehensive, comparative models of social media effects in political campaigns. Submission Deadline: The deadline for full paper submissions is June 1, 2017 at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmcq Authors should cearly designate their submission online as ?Special Issue on Social Media and Political Campaigning? and also note in their cover letters that the manuscript is for the JMCQ special issue.

Please email me with any questions or ideas. We are particularly interested in chapters about non-US populations, intersectionality, and historical approaches to harassment. Full CFP: https://jrvickery.com/2016/08/01/cfp-mediating-misogyny-technology-gender-harassment/ . ---- This proposed edited collection of interdisciplinary essays aims to critically analyze the ways the internet and digital technologies mediate misogyny, gender-based harassment, and assault. The online harassment of women has been gaining increasing visibility with contemporary incidents such as Gamergate, revenge porn sites, and the public misogynistic trolling campaigns directed at celebrities and journalists. In response, women are using the internet as a space for consciousness raising, feminist activism, collective storytelling, and resistance to gender-based harassment. This book will analyze how gender-based harassment is mediated and also uncover the ways women are using digital media technologies to fight back against harassment, trolls, and assault ? both online and offline. In an effort to propel the conversations forward and expand the discourse, we are particularly interested in chapters that not only document, critique, and analyze gender-based online harassment, but also put forward possible solutions that include a wide array of stakeholders and spheres including (but not limited to): activism, education, platform design, the law, social norms, workplace and platform policy, and the market. We invite theoretical, qualitative, and quantitative approaches to the topic and welcome different disciplinary approaches including, but not limited to: cultural studies, media studies, critical race theory, gender studies, feminist approaches, communication, journalism, sociology, cultural anthropology, technology studies, and historiography. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to: - Feminism as related to safe (digital) spaces - The public sphere and women?s participation in networked publics - The relationship between platform design, policies, and online harassment - The intersections of sexuality, race, ability, religion, age, class, and/or geography and the relationship to gender-based harassment - Historical approaches to and contextualization of digital misogyny - Case studies documenting, critiquing, and analyzing harassment via digital media - The blurred boundaries of online and offline harassment - Feminist anti-harassment activist campaigns - Mediated representations of online harassment in news journalism and/or fictional narratives - Harassment of women in the global south and other underrepresented online populations - Professional women and harassment on the job Please send *complete chapters* (max. 7,000 words w/ refs), a brief bio, and full CV to Dr. Jacqueline Vickery (jacqueline.vickery at unt.edu) and Dr. Tracy Everbach (tracy.everbach at unt.edu) by *November 1, 2016*. If you have an idea and want feedback, you may submit a 4-5 page abstract prior to the deadline. We will market the book for classroom adoption so take an undergraduate audience into consideration in your tone, scope, and approach. Routledge, Palgrave, and the University of Illinois Press have all indicated enthusiastic interest in the project and we will continue to consider other reputable academic publishers. Please circulate the CFP widely with graduate students, faculty, and independent scholars who work on any aspect of (digital) media, gender, and harassment. *Dr. Jacqueline Ryan **Vickery, Ph.D.* Assistant Professor Department of Media Arts College of Arts & Sciences University of North Texas @JacVick | http://jrvickery.com/ From gabriela at nyu.edu Wed Oct 26 20:08:20 2016 From: gabriela at nyu.edu (Gabriela T Richard) Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 23:08:20 -0400 Subject: [Air-L] CSCL 2017 Deadline extended to 11/11/2016 Message-ID: ****Full papers, short papers, and symposia deadline extended to November 11, 2016**** *CSCL 2017: Call for Papers* The 12th International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning June 18-22, 2017 Drexel University & The University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA Conference theme: Making a Difference ?

Drawing on a range of digital media ? from email to chatrooms and social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ? Lee demonstrates how online multilingualism is?closely linked to people's offline literacy practices and identities, and examines the ways in which?people draw on multilingual resources in their internet participation. Bringing together central concepts in sociolinguistics and internet linguistics, the eight chapters cover key issues such as: * language choice * code-switching * identities * language ideologies * minority languages * online translation.? Examples in the book are drawn from both all the major languages and many lesser-written ones such as Chinese dialects, Egyptian Arabic, Irish, and Welsh. A chapter on methodology provides practical information for students and researchers interested in researching online multilingualism from a mixed methods and practice-based approach. Multilingualism Online is key reading for all students and researchers in the area of multilingualism and new media, as well as those who want to know more about languages in the digital world.

Latest statistics show that more than ? of US adults use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, with social network use becoming almost ubiquitous among young adults, according to recent data from the Pew Research Center. Globally, an estimated 2.2 billion people use social networks on a daily basis, with that number projected to reach 2.5 billion by 2018. With their tremendous growth, social media have become an indispensable part of modern political campaigning, both in the United States and internationally. The increasing importance of social media among potential voters has not gone unnoticed by politicians. Hillary Clinton, for instance, launched her 2016 presidential campaign on Twitter and YouTube in an effort to reach a younger demographic and create a more accessible image among the public. As politicians increasingly rely on social media to get their messages across, the potential impact of social media in politics has become the focus of a growing number of research studies. Yet there is a lack of thorough understanding of the ways in which social media engagement affects voters, and a clear need to develop more comprehensive and inclusive models that go beyond simple linear relationships and take into account personal and psychological predispositions. There is also a need for more theoretically-driven content studies that examine social media as part of the larger ecosystem along with traditional media. With the upcoming 2016 US presidential elections, scholars have a timely opportunity to contribute to theory-building and revisit underlying key questions such as: How has social media use by political candidates evolved over time? Is there any conclusive evidence that politicians? use of social media tools increases their favorability or strengthens citizen engagement? What are the key factors that may mitigate the effects of social media on voters? Do these effects hold true in different contexts and for different platforms? Most importantly, does stronger reliance on social media motivate voters to retain higher levels of political knowledge or political participation, and if so, what are the underlying mechanisms? Given the evolution of social media use over time, the growing importance of social media for politicians around the globe and the lack of comprehensive theoretical understanding of the social media political content and use, underlying processes and potential effects, this special issue of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly has the potential to fill an important gap in the political communication literature. Combining a number of articles under this research umbrella could lead to important theoretical and methodological contributions, and also bridge several disciplinary domains including journalism, mass communication, new media and political science. Contributions: The proposed special issue will focus on the content and use of different social networks?such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, and YouTube?and their perceived and observed effects during most recent political campaigns in the United States and internationally. There is a need for more research on how social media function in a global context. Producing a volume that goes beyond stand-alone research studies and that combines individual articles in a comprehensive journal issue allows for better understanding of the underlying processes and potential outcomes of social media use across various demographic groups and different national contexts. Contributions may employ a variety of methodological approaches, both qualitative and quantitative, and could explore different forms of social media use for political purposes. Submissions are encouraged to examine a range of political outcome variables, including but not limited to campaign interest, political knowledge, and political and civic engagement. Both US-based and international authors can share most recent research findings related to innovative uses of social media in politics and discuss some of the opportunities and challenges brought by social media nationally and globally. The purpose of this special issue is to provide an opportunity for theory-building toward more comprehensive, comparative models of social media effects in political campaigns.

Motivated by the desire to improve public access and capitalise on the potential of new technologies, the mass digitisation of collections and archives in the UK has been one of the most significant contemporary changes to our cultural and heritage institutions. These projects have been enthusiastically funded by public organisations, such as the AHRC and the Heritage Lottery Fund, as well as private companies, charities and foundations, such as Google and the Wellcome Trust. Given the advances made in public access initiatives in recent years, this appears to be an ideal moment to look back at this developing history of cultural digitisation, reflect upon its underpinning rationales, and discuss the successes and challenges faced by those entrusted with carrying out these projects. The topic of "open data" has generated a great deal of interest and debate in such diverse fields as science research, city planning and citizenship and government. A starting off point for this symposium will be to discuss whether the term is also applicable to the cultural sector. Should cultural material held in collections and archives also be considered a form of data? Can cultural institutions learn from the assumptions, achievements and failures of these various other "open movements"? We hope to debate these questions, alongside other challenges specific to cultural digitisation projects - including issues of safeguarding and sustainability, dealing with copyright, and diversifying audiences. While prioritising open and free flowing discussion, we propose to organise the symposium into panels exploring the following three themes: Adoption Beyond Access: If access is only the first step, how do institutions facilitate the use of their archives and collections? What forms of learning outreach have been successful and how are these initiatives funded and supported? How can engagement by diverse audiences be promoted? Legalities and Logistics: What are the key legal, practical and ethical/political implications of working on open source/access projects? How do artists negotiate the issues raised? What are the particular issues of copyright, creative commons and fair dealing faced by cultural archives and collections? Do legal or logistical restrictions create biases in the nature of available cultural content? Does the general public need to be educated in the legal and logistical implications of open cultural data? Joining Collections, Joining Forces: How can multiple institutions partner to form connections between their collections? What issues of standardisation or incompatibility does this engender? Do common frameworks and initiatives exist to facilitate these efforts? The symposium is co-organized by Hannah Barton, Dr. Joel McKim and Professor Martin Eve, and co-funded by the Vasari Research Centre for Art and Technology and the Birkbeck Centre for Technology and Publishing.

The LISO conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion in the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will be presented by national and international scholars on a variety of topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture. The papers primarily employ analysis of naturally occurring data drawing from methodologies that include conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnographic methods, ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, and interactional sociolinguistics. The conference theme this year is ?Encounter and Interface?. ?Encounter? and ?interface? here are both broadly defined and inextricably connected. Encounters, ranging from interactions between individual speakers to the intermingling of distinct linguistic and cultural systems, now occur through various contexts, both face-to-face and digitally-mediated. How are the ideological underpinnings of these encounters manifested and re-shaped in everyday interaction? How is online language and culture shaping? and being shaped by ? the norms of face-to-face communication? Presentations related to the conference theme may include but are not limited to: * blending of communicative interfaces (e.g., how is online interaction talked about in face-to-face conversation, or vice versa?) * reciprocal influences between types of literacy (e.g., digital, classroom, etc.) * the influence of technology on student agency in the classroom and at home * how social media challenges traditional understandings of interaction * technology as a language-learning resource * the role of embodiment in interaction (face-to-face and online) * interaction in virtual worlds * construction(s) of identity through online and face-to-face interaction * socialization into new cultural and linguistic systems * examinations of how interaction and language in use reveal power dynamics between speakers of varying genders, sexualities, and abilities, or ethnoracial, class, national, and linguistic backgrounds Although submissions based on the conference theme will be particularly welcome, innovative work on all aspects of language and interaction will be considered.

This panel is sponsored by the new working group for Digital Ethnography and Folklore at the The International Society for Ethnology and Folklore in G?ttingen, Germany. More on SIEF here: http://www.siefhome.org/about.shtml I will paste a bit more on the panel below, but anybody doing work on digital ethnography or related digital methods would be super welcomed. If we have enough people, we can do a full day session at the conference and spend the rest of the time checking out other great stuff. The SIEF is always a great experience and a great excuse to go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G?ttingen Email me if you have any questions! Papers must be proposed via the website: http://nomadit.co.uk/sief/sief2017/panels.php5?PanelID=4993 General information on the conference: http://www.siefhome.org/congresses/sief2017/index.shtml See abstract below, and see you in G?ttingen! Rob Digitally dwelling: the challenges of digital ethnology and folklore and the methods to overcome them What does it mean to "dwell" in a digital community? Or inhabit a network location? Do we dwell together as we access different apps on the bus to work? Or do we dwell together in the synthetic spaces inside a virtual reality helmet? Participants in this panel will offer specific cases of challenges they faced dwelling in digital cultures and explore methodical fixes that attempt to address them. The pace at which the manifold uses of the internet and of other digital and mobile technologies are constantly evolving means that the nature of the digital worlds we inhabit together are always changing. In this environment of constant change, the researcher is always being presented with new challenges to the perspectives, methods and tools they have used before. The omnipresence and intensification of the digital challenge our perceptions of localities, presence and encounters. As a consequence, methods for online research need to redefine concepts such as the "field" and fieldwork, participant observation, interaction, etc. This panel will investigate methods in research on digital culture, digital practices and the impact and the implications of the digital in our lives by asking participants to present specific cases of problems they have faced in their digital research and the fixes they developed to address whether successful or not! We invite contributions approaching methods and methodologies in digital folklore and ethnology. Topics can include for example, but not only: - Collection and fabrication of data - Big and small data - Ethics - Ethnography Robert Glenn Howard http://rghoward.com _______________________________ University of Wisconsin -- Madison Director, Digital Studies & DesignLab Professor, Department of Communication Arts Affiliated Faculty Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Culture Religious Studies Program Robert F. & Jean E.

The "Frontiers" journals are top-notch in terms of Impact Factor (https://blog.frontiersin.org/2015/06/23/more-frontiers-journals-receive-impact-factors/). == Special Journal Issue: Digital Data for Nutrition, Healthy Eating and Exercise http://journal.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/5186/digital-data-for-nutrition-healthy-eating-and-exercise Dietary behavior surveillance is central for monitoring both public and individual health, as well as understanding its underlying cultural, social, and psychological mechanisms. Heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and even cancer have all been linked to weight gain, and the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates some 35% of adults in US are obese, with medical care and other expenses associated with obesity costing up to $190 billion a year (as of 2012). Large-scale dietary studies of food consumption use questionnaires and food diaries to keep track of the daily activities of their participants. Public health awareness campaigns then use data on dietary behavior across various population segments to tailor their message and intervention techniques. Recently, the Quantified Self revolution has involved the individual in personalized health management, with easy diet tracking, gamification approaches to a more active lifestyle, and online social support networks, opening opportunities for quantitative study both at individual and population levels. The availability of online data is creating unprecedented opportunities to study these issues from new angles as many dietary related behaviors leave digital traces: users search for diet advice on Google, they upload cooking suggestions to allrecipes.com, they turn to online communities for help with eating disorders, they check in at their gym on Foursquare, and they share their #FoodPorn pictures on Instagram. Though such online data comes with its own set of challenges, in particular related to quality and selection biases, recent work shows the potential benefits online data offers concerning scale, richness, social network information, as well as low latency and cost. While computer scientists have the technical expertise to collect and analyze such data, they typically lack the domain expertise to ask the right, impactful research questions and to position their work within the existing body of knowledge. At the same time nutritionists and public health experts might not know how tools such as machine learning can be used to deal with large amounts of messy online data. Through this special issue we hope to strengthen interdisciplinary work that critically analyzes the value that online data holds for dietary studies. We welcome novel contributions that use online data -- including, but not limited to, social media, web logs, search logs, multimedia, social network data, online communities, smartphone applications and mobility data -- to study dietary behavior and healthy weight management for applications both in individual and public health. Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be in line with the scope of the specialty and field to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Manuscripts discovered during any stage of peer review to be outside of the scope may be transferred to a suitable section or field, or withdrawn from review. Submission Deadline 30 November 2016 There will be a short turn-around time with the first round of decisions out by late January 2017. Articles will be published online soon after their final decision, without a need to wait for all articles in this issue to have finished the process.

Important Dates ---------------------- Submission Deadline: Nov 3, 2016 Decision to Authors: Nov 18, 2016 Final Papers Due: Dec 1, 2016 (papers may be revised following the symposium) Symposium Date: Dec 8, 2016 Note that to come to any of the three NIPS symposia, you must be registered either for the main NIPS conference or for the workshops. Early registration with reduced pricing ends at 12:59am on October 6. Website www.MLandtheLaw.org Symposium on Machine Learning and the Law -------------------------------------------------------------- Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence mean that predictions and decisions of algorithms are already in use in many important situations under legal or regulatory control, and this is likely to increase dramatically in the near future. Examples include deciding whether to approve a bank loan, driving an autonomous car, or even predicting whether a prison inmate is likely to offend again if released. This symposium will explore the key themes of privacy, transparency and fairness specifically as they relate to the legal treatment and regulation of algorithms and data. Our primary goals are (i) to inform our community about important current and ongoing legislation (e.g. the EU?s GDPR); and (ii) to bring together the legal and technical communities to help form better policy in the future. We welcome machine learners, lawyers and anyone interested in social policy. Although the impact of machine learning on jobs in the legal profession is an important topic, that is not a key focus of this symposium. Call for Papers --------------------- Authors are invited to submit research abstracts on topics that relate broadly to the themes of machine learning and the law, including but not limited to issues of privacy, liability, transparency and fairness as they relate to algorithms and data. Submissions should be up to 6 pages in NIPS format (short submissions are welcome, longer submissions may be accepted, please contact us if this would help you). Submissions need not be anonymized. Given the novelty of the field, we welcome a wide range of submissions, whether technical, legal or careful thought pieces to stimulate debate and discussion. We are happy to consider submissions that survey and comment on relevant work that has been previously published. We aim to highlight a few submissions in spotlight presentations by authors at the symposium. All accepted papers will be made available on our symposium website, and will appear in an issue of JMLR Workshop and Conference Proceedings (unless authors prefer not). Please see www.MLandtheLaw.org for submission details. Submissions are due Nov 3, 2016 (11:59PM PDT). Sponsors: We gratefully acknowledge support from the Center for the Study of Existential Risk, and the Leverhulme Center for the Future of Intelligence.

Sincerely, Conference Chairs From kneeset at gmail.com Sun Oct 2 17:39:05 2016 From: kneeset at gmail.com (Tamara Kneese) Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2016 17:39:05 -0700 Subject: [Air-L] CFP: Illness Narratives, Networked Subjects, and Intimate Publics Message-ID: Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience *Call for Papers* *Edited by Tamara Kneese and Beza Merid* We invite submissions to a peer-reviewed, themed section of *Catalyst* on the topic of ?Illness Narratives, Networked Subjects, and Intimate Publics.? Illness, injury, dying, and death have been recent sites of scholarly investigation in fields like feminist critical theory, STS, and medical anthropology (Braidotti 2013, Fassin 2007, Jain 2006, Mialet 2012, Serlin 2010). Through the production and circulation of personal narratives about experiences with pain and loss, new publics are created while networked subjectivities are negotiated. Complex publics and subjectivities form through encounters between patients and caregivers, among networks of mourners, and through subjects who trade paradigms for ?how best to live on, considering? (Berlant 2011). Those who are sick or dying may describe their affective, embodied, psychological, and existential conditions over social media platforms, through illness blogs or comedy performances, over Kickstarter campaigns seeking money to help with medical costs, during in-person support group meetings, or in emails sent to update established social networks. Caregivers may give voice to their own experiences through similar outlets, producing and circulating knowledge about their position as care workers who, facing burnout or illness, need care themselves. Face-to-face interactions, privately sent emails, posts on semi-public Facebook walls, and the public comment sections of personal illness blogs all participate in the production of both subjects and publics. Given the complex, relational aspects of illness, injury, dying, and death, submissions might take inspiration from a range of voices, including those in feminist work on affect and embodied care. Possible themes of accepted papers might include: - The relationship between social media platforms and care work - Digital media where experiences of and knowledge production about illness are shared - Imaginings of the self in relation to illness, injury, or mortality - Networks formed, reinforced, or maintained through sickness, dying, and death - New taxonomies of kinship induced by networked publics and experiences of illness - Articulations of and negotiations with biomedical risk - The affects/effects of health and illness - The conceptualization of health as a personal, moral, and civic responsibility - Performances and narratives surrounding illness, death, and enduring - The temporal experiences of illness, dying, and care - Institutional, infrastructural, and personal life spans Titles and abstracts for submissions must be received by *November 30, 2016*. Please send abstracts to illnessnarrativescfp at gmail.com. Selected authors will then be asked to submit draft articles to Catalyst through the online submission portal by *March 15, 2017*. Selected submissions will be published pending peer review.

Thanks for forwarding our job offer to your networks: http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article2271 (also pasted below) -- Melanie Dulong de Rosnay http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article1558 Associate Research Professor (Permanent researcher) French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) Institute of Communication Sciences (CNRS - Paris Sorbonne University - UPMC) -- Temporary research contract on the governance of alternative communication networks http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article2271 The Institute of Communication Sciences (CNRS - Paris Sorbonne University - UPMC) is recruiting a researcher in sociology or management of organizations (at the post-doctoral, PhD or master level with a research experience) for a period of 4 to 6 months to conduct research on the governance of alternative communications networks, as part of the European H2020 project netCommons (http://netcommons.eu/) The interdisciplinary project netCommons (2016-2018) focuses on the study of Internet community networks in Europe managed as commons. Within the project, part of the research focuses on the governance of these communities, which mostly operate as associative, cooperative or non-for-profit entities, and which bring together people with different skills to build and manage telecom networks, considered as commons. In partnership with researchers from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, which also participate in the project, the researcher will study the variety of governance tools implemented within these groups (statutes, regulations, by-laws, decision making processes, etc.) and formulate propositions for improvement to ensure the proper functioning, sustainability and expansion of these communities. Through the organization of interviews, workshops and meetings, this research-action will ultimately lead to monitoring the implementation of these recommendations within voluntary groups. The candidate will either hold a doctorate or be in the process of obtaining one, or hold a master degree in sociology and management of organizations. A good knowledge of the commons theory and of ICT will be appreciated. Very good command of English (written especially) is also necessary. Travels within Europe are expected. The candidate is invited to send to ISCC, before October 23, her/his application containing the following documents: - a resume; - a cover letter; - a selection of works (3 max.). The complete application must be submitted by email to felix.treguer at cnrs.fr indicating ?Application netCommons? in the message title. Selected candidates will be contacted for an interview which will be held on November 3 afternoon in the premises of the ISCC, in Paris, or by video conference if necessary. The contract duration will be 4 to 6 months from February 2017, subject to availability and profile of the candidate who must demonstrate an address in Paris. The monthly salary will depend on the applicant?s level of education and on the remuneration grid of CNRS.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. Why you should submit to ACM IUI: At ACM IUI, we focus on the interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. While other conferences focus on one side or the other, we address the complex interaction between the two. We welcome research that explores how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter, which may leverage solutions from data mining, knowledge representation, novel interaction paradigms, and emerging technologies. We strongly encourage submissions that discuss research from both HCI and AI simultaneously, but also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other. The conference brings together people from academia, industry and non-profit organizations and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. Submission Full and Short Papers We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. IUI 2017 especially encourages submissions on innovative and visionary new concepts or directions for the design of intelligent interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contribution. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMm5kIEFDTSBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gSW50ZWxsaWdlbnQgVXNlciBJbnRlcmZhY2VzIChJVUkgMjAxNyk6IExhc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFwZXJzCTcyCUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftiis.acm.org%29 special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2017". Examples of ACM IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ? Intelligent visualization tools ? User-Adaptive interaction and personalization ? Recommender systems ? Intelligent wearable, mobile and ubiquitous interfaces ? Modeling and prediction of user behavior ? Information retrieval and search ? Education and learning-related technologies ?

Big Data and analytics ? Smart environments and tangible computing ? Intelligent assistants for complex tasks ? Collaborative interfaces ? Persuasive and assistive technologies in IUI ? Affective and aesthetic interfaces ? Interactive machine learning ? Planning and plan recognition for IUI ? Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation ? Proactive and agent-based user interaction ? Example-and demonstration-based interfaces ? Evaluations of intelligent user interfaces Submission Guidelines ? Full paper (anonymized 10 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) should make substantial, novel, and relevant contribution to the field. ? Short paper (anonymized 4 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) is a much more focused and succinct contribution to the field. Short papers are not expected to include a discussion of related work that is as broad and complete as that of full papers. ? Anonymization: ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines: 1. Author's names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper. 2. Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process. 3. Self-citations should be included where necessary, but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ..." is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation). Failure to follow these guidelines may results in submissions being rejected without review. Submissions should follow the standard SigCHI format available here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMm5kIEFDTSBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gSW50ZWxsaWdlbnQgVXNlciBJbnRlcmZhY2VzIChJVUkgMjAxNyk6IExhc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFwZXJzCTcyCUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigchi.org%2Fpublications%2Fchipubform%2F .

The purpose of our session is to work as a provocation, a form of interventionist aesthetics and media theory in action which underlines tensions that researches interested in privacy and security can appreciate. The sense of ownership of data related to our bodies is partially a sense of bodily security. Undermining that criticizes both datafication and elicits bodily insecurity for those who have not considered the relationship between wearables and our sense of self. We wish to reflect on how this sense of ownership, possession and sharing and our (dis)comfort around those acts reflect historical power dynamics around social, class, race, and gender identities. Swapping devices asks participants to question those relationships and also interrogates our sense of trust in fellow human actants versus our trust in corporate actors.

Guest editors: ?Antonio Marturano (University of Rome, TorVergata, Italy) ?Jana Vizmuller-Zocco (YorkUniversity, Canada) ? Rationale: InPraise for Idleness (1935), BertrandRussell claimed that ?We have the technology and infrastructure to greatlyreduce the forced workload of the average human, and that should be our goal?toliberate people from excessive work so that they can freely pursue the thingsthat bring them intrinsic joy and happiness.? Russell?s optimistic visionregarding the role of technology, advocates for work reduction which wouldincrease human welfare and liberate people to be able to devote their time to cultureand leisure. Ironically, his optimism does not seem to be justified in light ofrecent economic and technological developments which lead to seriousunemployment rather than cheerful work reduction. The loss of jobs due to technologicalinnovations is starting to reach crisis proportions as many scholars (such asDavid F. Noble, Progress Without People:New Technology, Unemployment, and the Message of Resistance, Between theLines, 1995) and popular press warn (for ex., Eduardo Porter, ?Jobs Threatenedby Machines: A Once ?Stupid? Concern Gains Respect?, The New York Times, June 7, 2016).??There are indeed many voiceswhich decry the unemployment situation exasperated by the replacement of humansby machines, and apparently no job is likely to be immune. The World TechnologyNetwork forecasts that ?Accelerating technological unemployment will likely beone of the most challenging societal issues in the 21st Century?. Although thescholarly work published on the topic focuses mainly on the technical,technological, and market side, assessments which consider the ethical andsocial welfare implications of technological unemployment are still to beaddressed in detail. The submissions to the special issue will contribute tosetting the agenda for this serious and timely discussion. Topics to be explored fromtheoretical as well as practical perspectives include, but are not restrictedto, the following: ????????Therole of governmental institutions in technological unemployment ????????Joblessfuture: is unconditional basic/universal income the answer? ????????Social,political, and economic approaches to welfare in a jobless future ????????Newethical dimensions of work originating from the technological unemploymentcrisis ????????Politicaland social inequality created by a jobless future ????????Strategicplans for skills, education, re-deployment for the technologically jobless ????????Thepolitical control of technological unemployment ????????Welfare,leadership and jobless future ????????Technologicaldisplacement vs technological innovation from the perspective of social welfare ????????Historicalvisions on the ethical impacts of workload reduction ????????Creatingnew values for a jobless future ????????Politicalvalues in welfare and technological disruption in the job market ????????Workas human value ????????Religiousvalues and technological unemployment ????????Lockeargument for private property in a jobless world ????????Conflictingvalues in a jobless world (for ex., the refugees crisis in the EU) Brief for contributors: In line with the editorial aims ofthe journal, this call for papers focuses specifically on the relationshipbetween ethics, welfare, and valuesimplicated in the policies and political strategies on the one hand andtechnologically-driven unemployment on the other. The editors welcome academicpapers which are interdisciplinary in character. Contributions may combinewider ethical and theoretical questions concerning technology-drivenunemployment with practical considerations leading to social policies andprofessional practices (especially the existing and future policies oflocal/national governments and international institutions, such as EU, UN, WTOto cope with the problems of technological joblessness). The special issue, aswith other issues of the journal, welcomes material in a variety of formats,including high quality peer-reviewed academic papers, reflections, debates andcommentaries on policy and practice, book reviews and review articles. Academicpapers should be up to 6000 words, and practice papers, review articles, andother material should be between at a shorter length. Please consult the stylerules laid-out on the journal?s website: www.tandfonline.com/resw. All academicpapers will be double-blind peer- reviewed in the normal way. Practice papers andother material will be considered for publication by the editors.? Procedure and timelines 1)????

The conceptual framework put forward in this editorial and the articles composing this issue add to the mainstream internet governance scholarship by unpacking macro questions of politics and power. They do so through the analysis of the mundane and taken-for-granted practices and discourses that constitute the design, regulation, maintenance, and use of both technical and institutional arrangements of internet governance. Together, this body of work calls to rethink how we conceptualise both internet and governance. *PAPERS IN THIS SPECIAL ISSUE* *Editorial* *: Doing internet governance: how science and technology studies inform the study of internet governance* Dmitry Epstein, *University of Illinois at Chicago, United States* Christian Katzenbach, *Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG), Germany* Francesca Musiani, *Universit?

Here's the info: ?Networked individualism? represents the phenomenon that people are managers of their own personal networks. Networked individualism in an East (and Southeast) Asian context draws attention to the significant role of Asian social institutions and culture in the patterning of personal communities. When compared to Western situations?particularly American?East Asian personal communities are just as vibrant and supportive. They have woven seamlessly with digital media, extend both near and far, and are rich in social support. There are several differences that make East Asian societies unique, such as their strong focus on kinship, the salience of hierarchical social capital, the culture of mutual monitoring occurring through strong ties (e.g., guanxi), and the accelerated rise of digital media in everyday life.

In 1896, the Royal Polytechnic Institution ? today the University of Westminster ? hosted the first ever screening of moving images to a British audience: A set of ten short films by the Lumi?re Brothers. One of these was *Workers Leaving the Factory*. In 1995, German filmmaker Harun Farocki produced a film of the same title, exploring the relation between the cinema and the factory. Farocki asked: W hy have the factory and industrial labour been systematically hidden and disregarded in the history of cinema? Through the montage of similar scenes from the history of film, Farocki depicts the factory gate as a site of social struggle. The gate functions as a metaphor for the gradual eviction of the industrial worker from the factory and the emergence of new forms of cognitive labour. In other words, *Workers Leaving the Factory* marks the exit of the mass worker from industrial capitalism and into what is called the social factory in Italian autonomous theory. Farocki?s films prompt us to ask pressing questions in relation to what today is called cognitive/informational/cultural labour. The event aims to show how contemporary theories of labour allow us to read and interpret the work of one of the key figures in contemporary German cinema and how cinema can inform critical social theory. On this evening, Dr Claudio Celis Bueno (Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies) and Dr Michael Cowan (University of S. Andrews) will be exploring the internal relation between the audio-visual work of Farocki and new theoretical reflections on labour in contemporary society. Drawing lines backwards into film history, the event takes place in the historical building where the Lumi?re Brothers? film was first shown to a British public. We will be just next door to the Regent Street Cinema, which was re-opened by University of Westminster in 2015.

Much social media research has identified the positive opportunities of using social media; for example, how people use social media to form support groups online, participate in political uprising, raise money for charities, extend teaching and learning outside the classroom, etc. However, mirroring offline experiences, we have also seen social media being used to spread propaganda and misinformation, recruit terrorists, live stream criminal activities, reinforce echo chambers by politicians, and perpetuate hate and oppression (such as racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic behaviour). Furthermore, behind the posts are algorithms, power structures, commercial interests and other factors that surreptitiously influence our experiences on social media. So, we ask: * What does it actually mean to use social media for social good? * How can social media be further leveraged for social justice? What are the threats to meaningful participation and how can we overcome these threats? * What do we know about the 4 W's of who, what, why, where (and how) do people engage in anti-social behaviour online? * What theoretical and methodological tools can we use to study anti-social behaviour? Can we detect such behaviour automatically? * What are the ethics of algorithms (inclusion, accessibility, data discrimination, bots)? * What are the legal, policy, privacy, and ethical implications of using social big data? * Considering the proliferation of bots online, can we still trust social media data? * And more broadly, what are the major effects of using social media on political, economic, individual, and social aspects of our society? The 2017 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) invites scholarly and original submissions that relate to the broad theme of Social Media & Society. We welcome both quantitative and qualitative work which crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and expands our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially those that explore some of the questions and issues raised above. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE: The International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) is an annual gathering of leading social media researchers from around the world. Now, in its 8th year, the 2017 conference will be held in Toronto, Canada at Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University on July 28-30. >From its inception, the Conference has focused on the best practices for studying the impact and implications of social media on society. Our invited industry and academic keynotes have highlighted the shifting questions and concerns for the social media research community. From introducing media multiplexity and networked individualism with Caroline Haythornthwaite and Barry Wellman in 2010 and 2011, to measuring influence with Gilad Lotan and Sharad Goel in 2012 and 2013, to defining social media research as a field with Keith Hampton in 2014, to identifying our commitments as social media researchers in policy making with Bill Dutton in 2015, to exploring the future of social media technologies with John Weigelt in 2015, to highlighting the challenges of social media data mining in the context of big data with Susan Halford and Helen Kennedy in 2016. Organized by the Social Media Lab at Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University, the conference provides participants with opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers. The conference's intensive three-day program features workshops, full papers, work-in-progress papers, panels, and posters. The wide-ranging topics in social media showcase research from scholars working in many fields including Communication, Computer Science, Education, Journalism, Information Science, Management, Political Science, Sociology, Social Work, etc. SUBMISSION DETAILS: See online at https://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/ PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES: Full and WIP (short) papers presented at the Conference will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS) and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. All conference presenters will be invited to submit their work as a full paper to the special issue of the Social Media + Society journal (published by SAGE).

The full description of the workshop can be found here: https://ecpr.eu/Events/PanelDetails.aspx?PanelID=4836&EventID=104 CFP: The proposed workshop explores and theorizes how the rise of online platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr, is affecting the spatial configuration of public contention. The goal is to create a cross-disciplinary network of scholars to develop a new dynamic conception of publicness. Rather than simply situating contentious politics within a specific ?sphere? that serves as their container, we are interested in examining how contentious politics unfolds across different geographical, cultural, political and material configurations. The workshop specifically calls for papers that investigate and conceptualize how in contemporary protests relations of publicness are constantly redrawn across the ?local?, ?national?, and ?transnational?. Moreover, it aims to stimulate research on how the technological infrastructures of the emerging hybrid media system, in which digital platforms, broadcast media, and face-to-face communication are deeply entangled, shape the spatial trajectories of public contention. Finally, the workshop hopes to attract papers that critically examine how the intense use of digital media in public contestation, often in combination with alternative media, further confuses the traditional distinction between ?public? and ?commercial? space. In combination, the papers should enable a lively debate on how to research and theorize public contention in the new communication environment. Do we have to revise or even abandon dominant conceptualizations of publicness, like the public sphere, which are very much predicated on the nation state? And if so, what new concepts do we need to understand how the rapid development of digital platforms is transforming the spaces of public contestation? Joint Session Workshops of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) include 15-20 participants and allow in-depth discussion on a specific topic. The 2017 Joint Sessions will take place in Nottingham between 25-30 April 2017. The deadline for submitting paper proposals is on the 1st December 2016.

The ZeMKI, Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research, University of Bremen, organises the international conference in collaboration with the Hans-Bredow-Institute for Media Research, Hamburg and the SOCIUM, University of Bremen. The conference welcomes numerous speakers from all over Europe and the United States who investigate transforming communications against the background of an increasing complexity of the media environment. Richard Rogers (Digital Method Initiative, University of Amsterdam) and Gina Neff (Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford) will be keynote speakers. For today?s life-worlds, media communication is essential: work, leisure, socialization, the public sphere, public engagement, etc. are articulated by different types of mediated communication. Even from a historical point of view it is impossible for us to imagine the multiple and contradictory processes of modernization without media. Today, various domains of the social world are so closely related to (digital) media that they could not exist in their present form beyond media. In this sense, we live in times of 'deep mediatization'. A particular challenge of researching this stage of mediatization is the present complexity of the media environment: It is not one single medium that is the driving force of change. With the spreading of various technical communication media - television, radio, mobile phone, internet platforms etc. - we are confronted with a 'media manifold' which stimulates various processes of re-mediation and transmediation. And as media are more and more software-based and related to the internet, their use becomes entangled with processes of datafication. How can we investigate then transforming communications in times of deep mediatization? How do the figurations of living together change with the media environment? The conference takes these fundamental questions seriously and moves the transformation of communications and figurations through the 'media manifold' into the foreground. The focuses of the conference are the transformation of journalism, religion, education, communities, politics, and public discourse. Beyond this, the conference puts an emphasis on the (digital) methods used to investigate related processes of transformation. It is the concluding event of the Creative Research Unit 'Communicative Figurations', being funded within the framework of the Initiative of Excellence.

From hillrichs at uni-mannheim.de Sun Oct 9 05:56:06 2016 From: hillrichs at uni-mannheim.de (Rainer Hillrichs) Date: Sun, 9 Oct 2016 14:56:06 +0200 Subject: [Air-L] Ten years ago: Google buys YouTube Message-ID: Dear all, who remembers the video of "Chad and Steve" announcing their company had been "acquired by Google"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCVxQ_3Ejkg. That was ten years ago today! Among parts of the users of the company and the press this event is seen as the sellout of an initially non-commercial initiative to media capitalism. However, statements from the founders made elsewhere leave little doubt that YouTube was initially designed as a "product" that would eventually be "profitable" through advertisement (Karim 2006). In the Coda "YouTube and YouTube Culture Today" of my e-book *Poetics of Early YouTube: Production, Performance, Success* (Bonn: ULB, 2016) I point out where I see continuities and where breaks with the early period of the platform. In particular, YouTube's own increasing involvement in video production during the past couple of years seems to be a change - a change that moves the company away from the 'platform' model towards traditional vertically-integrated models of media production, distribution, and exhibition.

It aims to bring into dialogue work and debate across all fields involved in examining all areas of media and culture. Participations has pioneered a system of open refereeing for all contributions, designed to encourage open, critical debate among researchers. It can be found at www.participations.org. Call for Papers Despite a long established and rich literature on documentary cinema and television, there is still comparatively little research which addresses issues in the reception of the range of content which might fall within the umbrella label of 'documentary media'. This label encompasses celebrated exemplars in cinematic and televisual forms and more recently includes forms ranging across other media, and depending on who is defining the nature of documentary culture, includes everything from photography, drama-documentary, documentary animation (documation), hybrid televisual formats, online and interactive forms, and even documentary comics . Documentary proper has tended, especially within film theory, to draw from an assumed distinctive relationship which audience have with mediations of reality. However, the complexity of forms which draw their rhetorical and affective power from documentary aesthetics and the assumptions they appear to engender is proliferating. Documentary, in its exemplars, assumes a knowing, reflective and literate audience. Other documentary-related forms are driven by more obviously entertainment-centred agendas. How do differently situated audiences negotiate this part of the contemporary mediascape? The aim of this issue is to bring together work which interrogates from the side of reception how documentary is evolving, the implications of the proliferation of documentary and related forms, and the complexities inherent to how viewers of these forms are negotiating their meaning. Possible questions to be addressed might include: 1. What can audience research tell us about the nature of documentary and related media? 1. How can we characterise the nature, characteristics and contradictions of documentary engagement? 2. How do audiences define 'documentary' ? 4. Are there different modes of reading associated with different media forms within the spectrum of documentary and related media? 1. How do audiences understand the nature of ethical practice within documentary and related forms? 2. How do audiences make use of social and political knowledge represented through documentary forms? 7. How do viewers / users assess the nature and integrity of evidence presented in documentary and related forms? 1. Is the notion of indexicality still relevant for contemporary audiences? 9. How do viewers read documation (animated documentary)? 10. How important are paratextual material (including online commentaries), to documentary reception? 11. How do viewers / users assess the issue of 'performance' in documentary and related media 12. How do audiences read mockumentary? 1. How does involvement in video-making and similar amateur pursuits change perceptions of documentary as a form? 14. How do audience understand how documentaries and related media are categorised and made 'findable' through digital distribution channels? 1. How do interactive technologies enhance, or problematize forms of engagement assumed with documentary forms? Manuscripts can cover various media (e.g. cinema, television, theatre, podcasts, photography, online and interactive forms, apps, games, comics, etc.). The editors welcome theoretical essays as well as empirical studies from various methodologies. Please send a 250 word abstract to craig.hight at newcastle.edu.au by November 30, 2016.

Not much, however, has been said about the representation of colonialism, empire and neo-colonialism in videogames although some of the very earliest games have featured these issues, sometimes in problematic ways. As games are part of and perpetuate past and present global power structures in relation to inequalities in material wealth and symbolic representation, to exploitation of labor, and to hegemonic articulations of history and the Other, it is necessary for game studies to not only bring these issues to light, but also critically analyze the relationship between games and existing postcolonial power relationships. Analysing games as disparate as Age of Empires, Far Cry 2 and Assassin?s Creed: Freedom Cry reveal intrinsic questions about how the ludic relates to colonialism and how it informs the postcolonial experience. This open-access special issue of Open Library of Humanities aims to bring questions of Postcolonialism to the forefront of game studies. An often underexplored and neglected area in the domain of studying both digital and analogue games, a critique of the (mis)representation of Orientalist attitudes, race, hybridity, notions of space and the fragmented postcolonial identities is urgently required. We, therefore, seek submissions that provide critical analysis of colonial representations in games and also challenge notions of colonial hegemonic power-structures. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to: * Colonialism / Neocolonialism / Postcolonialism / Imperialism * The Other / Alterity * Decolonization * Hegemony * Orientalism * Postcolonial praxis * Global capitalism / economy * Self-representation / voice / agency * Subalternity * Indigenous culture * Religion(s) / Language(s) / Nationalism(s) * Thirdspace * Eurocentrism * Game studies & politics of knowledge Research articles should be approximately 8000 words in length, including references and a short bibliography. Submissions should comprise of: * Abstract (250 words) * Full-length article (8000 words) * Author information (short biographical statement of 200 words) Deadline for abstracts: 15th December 2016 Notification of accepted abstracts: 16th January 2017 Deadline for full articles: 28th April 2017 Submissions should be made online at: https://submit.openlibhums.org/ in accordance with the author guidelines and clearly marking the entry as [?Postcolonial Game Studies?

The BEREC guidelines are aimed at assisting national regulatory authorities in implementing their net neutrality-related obligations according to the new *EU regulations (2015/2120) *, including by closely monitoring and ensuring ?compliance with the rules to safeguard equal and non-discriminatory treatment of traffic in the provision of Internet access services and related end-user rights?. The Guidelines were received with enthusiasm by civil society ? some of whom see them as a win for net neutrality in the EU ? and with a degree of reticence by telecom operators ? some of whom argue that most of their concerns have not been taken into account. Regulators say their guidelines have found a balanced solution within the frames set out by the regulation, indicated by the observation that both camps in the debate seem equally (un)happy. Mr S?rensen provided a snapshot of the BEREC?s net neutrality guidelines, and reflected on their effect on commercial practices such as zero rating, traffic management of internet access services, the issue of specialised services, and the innovation and rights of Internet users, as well as questions raised by the participants.

Description: Media policy constitutes a neglected sub-field of political sciences and has, traditionally, been relegated to the realms of media and communication studies. However, since it concerns the structures that support and regulate democracy, freedom of expression, and public participation, and since it is of increasing interest to policy-makers on both national and super-national levels, it is an area that could also be of interest for the political-science community. This workshop proposes an occasion for starting such a conversation and fertilizing the ground for increased integration of media policy in the political sciences. Issues of media policy have become pertinent in recent years as technological and social development reconfigures the object of this policy area. So, the workshop will focus particularly on the challenges that digitalization poses to media policy and the questions that it raises. These challenges include - but are not limited to - (1) how traditional media markets such as broadcasters and the press increasingly converge on digital media, challenging the regulatory frameworks and subsidy systems put in place by policy-makers; (2) how digital intermediaries such as Google and Facebook are central actors in citizens' media use but transgress the tools of the same policy-makers; and (3) the extent to which one can even distinguish between "media policy" and other policy areas such as cultural policy, policies of infrastructure (telecommunications), and trade/business policy. Workshop format: We emphasize the workshop format of the event, expecting all authors with accepted abstract to submit full papers before the workshop (see timeline below) and act as designated opponents on other authors' papers (i.e., reading the paper in advance and prepare comments). At the workshop, we will have 45-60 minutes for each paper: 20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for comments from the opponent, and 15-30 minutes for general discussion. This format should allow for time to work in-depth with the paper contributions. The workshop will accept a maximum of 15 papers, and we hope to be able to publish the best of them as a special issue. Timeline: January 15, 2017: Deadline for paper proposals. Proposals should have the form of extended abstracts (750 words) and be sent directly to workshop chair Aske Kammer (aska at itu.dk) March 15, 2017: Notification of acceptance May 15, 2017: Deadline for Early Bird registration July 15, 2017: Deadline for submission of full papers (send to workshop chair Aske Kammer, aska at itu.dk) August 8-11, 2017: Conference Workshop leadership: - Chair: Aske Kammer (The IT University of Copenhagen, aska at itu.dk) - Vice-chair: Vilde Schanke Sundet (Lillehammer University College, Vilde.Schanke.Sundet at hil.no) Venue: The workshop will be part of the Nordic Political Science Association's (NoPSA) XVIII Political Science Congress, which will be held at the Department of Political Science and Public Management at the University of Southern Denmark on August 8-11, 2017.

Call for Papers - Special Issue, 'Consuming Gender' This special issue of Assuming Gender ? an online, peer-reviewed academic journal from Cardiff University ? seeks to explore the way gender is both presented and consumed through popular media and advertising. As Ann Herrmann points out in the article ?Shopping for Identities?, commodities ?are characterised by their dual nature: material composition and symbolic meaning? (Herrmann 2002: 539). Consumer culture plays a significant role in constructing valid (and normative) identity categories with which consumers are encouraged to identify. Scholars as diverse as Americus Reed, Laura C. Nelson, and Henry Jenkins have theorised the ways in which identity and consumer culture are intertwined. Reed, for example, claims in ?Activating the Self-Importance of Consumer Selves? that ?[s]ocial identities are mental representations that can become a basic part of how consumers view themselves? (Reed 2004: 286). In a later article on ?Identity-Based Consumer Behaviour?, Reed and others use the example of athletics to illustrate their point: ?if consumers view themselves as ?athletes?, they are likely to behave in ways that are consistent with what it means to ?be? an athlete? (Reed, Forehand, Puntoni and Warlop 2002: 310). Consumption thus becomes defined by identity, and identity becomes defined by consumption. While the construction of identities based on athleticism seems relatively benign, the case quickly becomes more complicated when consumer identities are racially, economically, or sexually coded. In addition to delineating the borders between various interest groups, consumer culture plays a significant role in establishing and maintaining binary identity distinctions (male/female, gay/straight, black/white), undermining the validity of those identifying across or in-between one or more categories, or who refuse categorisation at all. Those identities not classified as valid consumer groups are not seen as valid identities at all. For this special issue of Assuming Gender, we invite articles that focus specifically on the idea of ?Consuming Gender?. How has consumer culture constructed (and how has it been constructed by) gender through the ages? Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Consuming gender/gendered consumption * Historical contexts of gendered consumption * Feminist/postfeminist approaches to consumption * Consumption and intersectionality * Queer consumption * Media constructions of (gendered) consumer identities * Post/colonialism and gendered consumption Please send a proposal of roughly 500 words to Megen de Bruin-Mol?, Akira Suwa and Dan? van Dam at gender at cardiff.ac.uk under the subject line ?CFP Consuming Gender?, including your name, e-mail institutional affiliation (if any), and a biographical note (100 words maximum). We welcome papers from scholars of all backgrounds, disciplines, and career stages. The deadline for proposals is 16 October, 2016, and completed papers of 5000 to 8000 words will be expected no later than 16 April, 2017.

Existing and proposed regulatory and governance regimes place obligations on those who manage (process, use and collect) data. The end-users of applications provisioned in the cloud and IoT also have certain rights that must be respected ? various parties all bear varying degrees of responsibility, which must be properly managed. Managing these rights and responsibilities is becoming increasingly complex, both technically and legally, particularly due to the emergence of new cloud services and models, as well as because of movements towards collaborative, decentralised and mobile clouds. For instance, the cloud will play an increasing role in supporting the evolving IoT, which exacerbates issues of scale and data management while bringing real (physical) world considerations. Building on the successes of the previous workshops, CLaw 2017 aims to facilitate an interdisciplinary exploration of tech-legal challenges as regards emerging systems technologies. =========================================================== The workshop aims to encompass a broad range of issues where technology and law intersect. Some suggested topics, in no particular order, include: * Technical enforcement of legal regulations, service level agreements, mutual legal assistance requests, and other instruments * Privacy and security in cloud services and IoT * Internet of Things: data sharing, threats, liability, audit and compliance concerns for cloud-supported IoT, fog and edge computing * Application of cloud computing in regulated sectors * Emerging cloud and infrastructure service models (X as a Service) * Issues concerning the interaction between cloud and IoT technologies, and big data and machine learning * Emerging cloud technologies (decentralised clouds: cloudlets, droplets; containment mechanisms) * Compatibility issues between regulation and technical implementation * Regional cloud initiatives (e.g. EU-only cloud), and other data localisation concerns * Cybercrime: phishing, malware and spam proliferation within cloud computing and IoT * Encryption, security technologies and responsibility * Issues of surveillance in cloud and IoT architectures * Anti-discrimination, human rights, privacy and power issues with cloud and IoT * Interaction between cloud and IoT and consumer-facing business models, including the transformations towards crowd labour, algorithmic decision-making and automation The key goal of this workshop is to stimulate a multidisciplinary discussion and new directions on these important issues. As such, we welcome a wide range of submissions, whether technical, legal or thought pieces to stimulate debate. For those technical in nature - fully implemented and evaluated systems are not essential, and application-specific papers are welcome. Papers should be no more than six pages in IEEE format. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore, and at least one author of an accepted paper is required to present the work at the workshop. Important Dates: * Paper submission: Dec 1, 2016 * Author notification: Jan 10, 2017 * Final camera ready: Jan 15, 2017 * Workshop date: 4-7 Apr 2017 (exact date TBD) For further details, including submission instructions, please see http://www.claw-workshop.org/ From jabraun at journ.umass.edu Tue Oct 11 06:58:29 2016 From: jabraun at journ.umass.edu (Joshua Braun) Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 09:58:29 -0400 Subject: [Air-L] CFP: Distribution Matters ICA 2017 Pre-Conference Message-ID: <57595543-b690-da5d-29d5-cd42fd598378@journ.umass.edu> With apologies for cross-posting! ?Josh Distribution Matters // Media Circulation in Civic Life and Popular Culture ICA PRECONFERENCE CALL May 25, 2017 in San Diego [This call is on the web at https://distributionmatters.wordpress.com] This preconference aims to examine how and why media distribution matters to civic life and media culture and the ways in which it underpins issues that are more traditionally examined in terms of media production or textual analysis. After all, many of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing the media industries today revolve around the capacity to circulate media and information instantaneously and more cheaply than ever before via the internet?what Michael Curtin, Jennifer Holt, and Kevin Sanson (2014) have referred to as the "distribution revolution." At the same time, grappling with the signal importance of media distribution in industry and public life also means understanding that this importance is older than, and reaches beyond, today's commercial internet. Scholars from across the field of media industry research?and in other areas including media law and regulation, communication history, journalism studies, and cultural theory?have used a variety of analytical vocabularies to theorize the distribution process. Historian and social theorist Michael Warner (2002), for instance, offers examples from the 17th century press when he argues that distribution is the central concern in the construction of democratic publics. "Not texts themselves create publics, but the concatenation of texts through time," he writes. "Only when a previously existing discourse can be supposed, and when a responding discourse can be postulated, can a text address a public" (p. 90). In other words, reliable distribution networks make possible the individual and collective conceit that when we publish a text we are speaking to the same assembled group over time. Media distribution, then, can be read as the infrastructural heart of "imagined communities" in the style of Benedict Anderson (2006). If, as Charles Acland (2003) argues, "the organization of how, when, and under what conditions people congregate is a fundamental dimension of social life," it is through distribution practices and infrastructures that much of this organization takes place (Tryon, 2013), both historically and in today's media environment. CALL FOR ABSTRACTS We aim to bring together the growing group of scholars who focus on distribution as its own topic of study, as well as other work that intersects with distribution, but has not typically been framed in that way?topics such as internet governance, trending algorithms, digital rights management, media infrastructures, and others. Participants should submit an extended abstract of one to two pages. Accepted abstracts will be developed into papers to be distributed to panelists and other attendees in advance of the event. Abstracts may take the form of brief case studies, position papers, conceptual interventions, or other formats likely to lead to engaged discussion. Rather than lengthy research presentations, participants will present briefly (5 minutes) on their work before participating in a roundtable discussion. Submissions dealing with both contemporary and historical themes and subjects are welcomed, as are submissions from a wide variety of disciplinary approaches. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Distribution and Imagined Community. How do contemporary, legacy, and historical distribution infrastructures, practices, and policies affect the construction of publics and our sense of community? Whether it's a nation's postal network, the broadcast radius of the local television station, the circulation footprint of the local newspaper, the far-flung reach of satellite television channels, or the "calculated publics" (e.g., Gillespie, 2014) produced by algorithms on contemporary online media platforms, we welcome explorations of the ways in which distribution brings together?or divides?publics and public discourses. * Distribution and Media Work. Can a focus on distribution broaden traditionally production-focused accounts of labor in the media industries, whether by considering distribution as an important form of labor unto itself or by exploring the impact of distribution on production work? We welcome accounts that examine what it takes to get content in front of audiences, and the various kinds of labour involved?from PR and marketing work to warehousing, shelf-stacking and transportation. * Distribution and Public Discourse. Much has been said?and debated?about the manner in which digital technologies have allowed ordinary people to distribute their own content, as well as the manner in which a few large online intermediaries have come to dominate revenues and the market for audiences' attention. Digital distribution platforms (and some of their historical predecessors) also present us with a high-choice media environment characterized by filter bubbles and fragmentation. Where do these debates about disintermediation and fragmentation stand today? And what does it mean to examine them in terms of distribution? * Distribution, Public Visibility, and Surveillance. The infrastructures of distribution?the presence of papers on news racks or channels on the dial?have long served to make the audiences for particular media visible to a broader public, as well as to interpellate prospective members of those audiences/publics. At the same time, distribution infrastructures also offer tremendous affordances for surveillance?rifling the mail, intercepting telegraph signals, tapping phones, placing digital cookies, deep packet inspection. We welcome contributions that examine distribution as a tool of visibility and/or consider its role in the business and politics of seeing and being seen. * Distribution, Popular Culture, and Personalization. Digital media is characterized by the contrasting dynamics of increased sociability (through apps, social media and 'sharing') and increased individualization (through mobile viewing, miniature screens, and personalized recommendations). By some accounts, media use has shifted from being a communal, in-person experience in theaters and living rooms to a rather more individual and personalized one, enjoyed by each user on her own personal device. We welcome contributions that examine the changing scale of media experiences through various distribution technologies. * Distribution and Intellectual Property. The one-click model of friction-free digital distribution is still a work in progress. Content providers, streaming services, and digital storefronts jockey for position in ways that have resulted in fragmentation, incompatible standards, and copy protection schemes that alter consumers' relationships with their media and devices. Unsurprisingly then, unauthorized distribution (i.e., piracy) remains a constant feature of everyday media consumption in all countries. We welcome contributions examining the relationship between distribution, IP, and consumption. * Affordances of Distribution, Past and Present. Digital distribution infrastructures include a tremendous number of high-tech affordances for selectively placing content in front of audiences?filters, recommender systems, geolocation/geoblocking, and metadata-based categorization to name just a few. What role do these affordances (and their associated constraints) play in contemporary media distribution and its social impacts? And what historical precedents exist for what we typically think of as uniquely digital phenomena? FORMAT Panelists whose abstracts are accepted will develop them into papers that will be distributed in May to preconference attendees in advance of the event. Participants will introduce, then discuss their papers with other scholars in a series of thematically organized roundtables, with the conversation moderated by a panel chair who participates in the conversation. Roundtables will be held in front of the full audience of preconference attendees; after the initial moderated discussion the floor will be opened to audience questions. The final panel of the preconference will be a reflection by senior scholars on the work and themes of the day. The organizers hope to work with participants following the event to develop a selection of the conference abstracts into papers for a special issue or edited volume. SUBMISSION PROCESS Please email submissions to by November 20, 2016. Authors will be informed of acceptance/rejection decisions no later than December 20, 2016. Accepted abstracts will be posted to the preconference website in advance of the event. If you have questions about submissions or any aspect of the preconference, you may direct them to or contact any of the individual organizers?Joshua Braun , Ramon Lobato , or Amanda Lotz . LOCATION AND REGISTRATION The preconference will be held at San Diego State University's Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union (6075 Aztec Cir Dr.), which is located directly on the San Diego trolley system's Green Line, making it reachable from the conference hotel for just $5 round-trip. For faster door-to-door service, participants can split cab fares to and from the event. More details on transport to and from the event will be provided at a later date. Registration will be limited to 60 persons via a registration code to be issued by the organizers.

Why is social media in southeast Italy so predictable when it is used by such a range of different people? This book describes the impact of social media on the population of a town in the southern region of Puglia, Italy. Razvan Nicolescu spent 15 months living among the town's residents, exploring what it means to be an individual on social media. Why do people from this region conform on platforms that are designed for personal expression? Nicolescu argues that social media use in this region of the world is related to how people want to portray themselves. He pays special attention to the ability of users to craft their appearance in relation to collective ideals, values and social positions, and how this feature of social media has, for the residents of the town, become a moral obligation: they are expected to be willing to adapt their appearance to suit their different audiences at the same time, which is crucial in a town where religion and family are at the heart of daily life.

Is it true that we are replacing face-to-face relationships with on-screen life? Are we becoming more narcissistic with the rise of selfies? Does social media create or suppress political action, destroy privacy or become the only way to sell something? And are these claims equally true for a factory worker in China and an IT professional in India? With these questions in mind, nine anthropologists each spent 15 months living in communities in China, Brazil, Turkey, Chile, India, England, Italy and Trinidad. They studied not only platforms but the content of social media to understand both why we post and the consequences of social media on our lives. Their findings indicate that social media is more than communication - it is also a place where we now live. This series explores and compares the results in a collection of ground-breaking and accessible ethnographic studies.

Papers due November 4th.** *CSCL 2017: Preliminary Call for Papers* The 12th International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning June 18-21, 2017 Drexel University & The University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA Conference theme: Making a Difference ? Prioritizing Equity and Access in CSCL Computer Supported Collaborative Learning is a premier conference of the International Society of the Learning Sciences that focuses on the study of social learning processes with and without technology as well as the development and evaluation of tools to enhance or improve collective thinking and learning. The conference is a major international event bringing together researchers with a wide variety of backgrounds and research interests including educational technology, design, HCI, information sciences, educational psychology, museum research, library science, curriculum and instruction, psychology, computer science, cognitive science, and many more. We welcome high quality conceptual, empirical, and theoretical contributions. This year's conference theme focuses on the need to consider issues such as equity, access, and inclusion in the design, implementation, and deployment of computer-supported learning environments. CSCL 2017 will prioritize keynote speakers, workshops and papers that champion research and tools focused on equity and access relative to CSCL. Hosted by a diverse leadership team in the Learning Sciences, the conference will highlight work that discusses ways to broaden the CSCL pipeline, promotes and/or celebrates out of the box thinking, or that brings a wide range of viewpoints or voices to CSCL topics or tools. *Submissions* We are currently seeking submissions for the following: ? Full Papers (8 pages): Full papers are for mature work, requiring lengthy explanations of the conceptual background, methodology and data and analysis. Full paper submissions should state: (a) the major issue(s) addressed, (b) potential significance of the work, (c) the theoretical and methodological approach(es) pursued, (d) major findings, conclusions, implications, and (e) relevant scholarly references. ? Short Papers (4 pages): Short papers are for work that makes significant contributions, but that is still in progress, of smaller scale, or that can be reported briefly. Otherwise, the same criteria apply as listed for full papers above. ? Posters (2 pages): Posters are for work in early stages and for novel and promising ideas. The two page abstract should identify the aspect of the work that will likely lead to productive discussions with conference participants in a poster session, including figures exemplifying the visual support to be provided for these discussions in the poster. ? Symposia (8 pages): Symposia are for conveying larger ideas or results about a specific issue. Discussion among members of the symposium and with the audience should be moderated to focus on certain positions or controversies. We expect symposia to address large issues of interest toCSCL, particularly those related to this year's conference theme. *Deadlines* Papers, Posters, and Symposia: November 4, 2016 Pre-Conference Workshops: December 9, 2016 Early and Mid-Career Workshops + Doctoral Consortium: January 13, 2017 Interactive Events and Tutorials: TBA *Further information* For more information, see the conference website (http://isls.org/*cscl*/*2017* ) and/or send email cscl.philly at gmail.com. *About ISLS* The International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) is a professional society dedicated to the interdisciplinary empirical investigation of learning as it exists in real-world settings and how learning may be facilitated both with and without technology.

A few years ago, I felt pretty confident that I could put together a reading list of books on virtual community management and be comfortable it would cover what is needed. But that was before social media. Now (depending on the purpose of a virtual community itself) I might not even recommend a website-based virtual community at all ? for all of the vexed issues of platform ownership, a Facebook group or even Twitter hashtag might be a better solution for some groups. Are you aware of any good books and articles (preferably academic but not necessarily) which bring virtual community advice up-to-date to take into consideration managing virtual communities spread across multiple platforms, some of which a virtual community manager has no direct control over?

Little did I realise this was going to be a complete overhaul, re-write and what essentially is a totally new book. So here it is, in e-version, paper and hardback: https://he.palgrave.com/page/detail/Digital-Advertising/?K=9781137494344 TABLE OF CONTENTS * Chapter 1: Digital: The Capacity to do Things They Never Could Before * Chapter 2: The History and Business of Digital Advertising * Chapter 3: How it Works: Standard Digital Media * Chapter 4: How it Works: Non-Standard Digital Media * Chapter 5: Creativity * Chapter 6: Beyond Interruption: Attention, Authenticity and Being Native * Chapter 7: Media Hacking * Chapter 8: Adblocking and Fraud: Threats to Advertising * Chapter 9: Advertising to Children: Regulations and Ethics for Digital Media * Chapter 10: Ad-tech: Analytics, Big Data, Profiling and Identity * Chapter 11: Empathic Media: Emotiveillance and the Future of Out of Home Advertising * Chapter 12: Privacy: The Case of Mobile Apps for Android * Chapter 13: Conclusions: Reconciling Art and Science in Advertising BLURB In order to comprehend modern media, we need to understand how advertising works. Digital Advertising provides an assessment of contemporary and emergent advertising techniques that drive the world's largest media companies. The second edition has been fully updated to account for the re-shaped advertising industry and transformed media landscape since the publication of the first edition, taking on topics including the creative uses of technology, novel modes of storytelling, adblocking, the pre-eminence of analytics and big data, privacy, growing interest in data about emotional life, and alarm about the role of artificial intelligence and automation in advertising. Incorporating an increased number of case studies and analyses of campaigns, this timely and engaging text is an essential resource for students, academics and anyone interested in advertising and media. ENDORSEMENTS McStay's updated study presents the most complete, revealing and accessible overview of digital advertising and its insatiable expansion. Robert Crawford, Associate Professor of Public Communication, University of Technology Sydney, Australia.

The conference is run in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including doctoral consortia and workshops. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum where PhD students can present their research ideas, confront them with the scientific community, receive feedback from mentors, and tie cooperation bounds. Students will receive inspiration from their peers and will have a chance to discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference. The DC session will take place on September 24, in parallel with the workshop sessions. Each participant will present her/his work, followed by a discussion with senior researchers. ELIGIBILITY We seek PhD students who have either determined the direction of their thesis research (probably with some preliminary results already published), but who still have substantial work to complete, or PhD student participants who are in the early stages of their dissertation year. It is not required to have a paper accepted for the main conference in order to participate in the DC. SUBMISSIONS To apply to the DC, please submit a single-authored paper (which will appear in the proceedings of DC), accompanied by a short email from the thesis advisor stating support for your participation in the DC, describing the current status of the thesis research, and giving your expected date of graduation. The papers for DC should be at most 12 pages in Springer format (formatting instructions can be obtained via http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogRmlyc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgRG9jdG9yYWwgQ29uc29ydGl1bQk3OAlMaXN0cwkyNDcJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fcomputer%2Flncs%3FSGWID%3D0-164-2-793332-0%29 and describe the state of the whole PhD project, rather than a specific completed result. The paper should outline the objectives, the problem, state of the art, results obtained so far, and what is still to be done in the frame of the PhD project. If an author prefers to present a completed research result, the paper should be submitted to the main conference or one of accompanying workshops. A paper submitted to the DC may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for the DC. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format at CMT: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi5hb2lyLm9yZwkyMXN0IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQWR2YW5jZXMgaW4gRGF0YWJhc2VzIGFuZCBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0ZW1zIChBREJJUyAyMDE3KTogRmlyc3QgQ2FsbCBmb3IgRG9jdG9yYWwgQ29uc29ydGl1bQk3OAlMaXN0cwkyNDcJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcmt3.research.microsoft.com%2FADBISDC2017.

The deadline has been extended for Philosophy and Technology?s special issue on Ethical Risk Assessment in Biomedical Big Data. New deadline for submissions: October 31, 2016 Call for Papers for Philosophy and Technology?s special issue on Ethical Risk Assessment in Biomedical Big Data GUEST EDITOR Brent Mittelstadt, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford INTRODUCTION In biomedical research, the analysis of large datasets (Big Data) has become a major driver of innovation and success. ?Biomedical Big Data? (BBD) describes the complex and new set of technologically-driven phenomena focusing on analysis of aggregated datasets to improve medical knowledge, public health, clinical care and commercial health and well-being devices and services. Machine learning and algorithmic categorisation can increasingly make sense of the seemingly endless data emerging from sensors, wearable devices, clinical observations, clinical trials, social and online platforms which provide insight into the behaviours and physiology of individuals. BBD is expected to provide new ways of understanding health and well-being at the level of the individual and society, for example by predicting behaviours, monitoring diseases and outbreaks, and providing risk stratification for individual patients. Epidemiology, infectious disease research, and genomics and genetics are already deeply affected. However, the collection, storage and analysis of BBD potentially raises serious ethical problems which may threaten the huge opportunities it offers. To avoid foreseeable problems and react quickly to emergent issues, the planning and deployment of BBD must include proactive ethical risk assessment. To contribute to this critical step, this special issue of Philosophy and Technology aims to map new, under-researched but important issues, concepts and cases that should be considered in proactive ethical assessment of emerging BBD platforms and services. TOPICS We request the submission of research articles addressing topics including: ? Theories and concepts critical to the ethical assessment of biomedical Big Data in particular ? Required modifications to informed consent in response to the scale and complexity of BBD ? Alternatives to informed consent for BBD governance ? Group-level protections, harms and benefits ? Ethical principles for governance of BBD platforms ? Applicability of traditional medical research ethics principles to BBD ? Privacy, de-identification and research subject rights to data access ? Ownership of intellectual property generated from BBD ? Uses of BBD for empowerment or improvement of patient experiences ? Implications of data-intensive clinical experiences for the doctor-patient relationship ? Implications of the crossover between personal health devices and BBD research, e.g. Apple HealthKit ? Impact of the European General Data Protection Regulation on both biomedical research and personal health/wellness services ? Policy recommendations and requirements for poorly regulated BBD practices ? Empirical studies/cases of existing Big Data practices that demonstrate critical ethical issues, concepts and solutions TIMETABLE ? October 31, 2016: Deadline for paper submissions ? December 16, 2016: Deadline for reviews ? January 31, 2017: Deadline revised papers ? 2017: Publication of the special issue SUBMISSION DETAILS To submit a paper for this special issue, authors should go to the journal?s Editorial Manager http://www.editorialmanager.com/phte/ The journal?s submission guidelines and instructions for authors can be found here. Articles should be written in English and not exceed 10,000 words. The author (or a corresponding author for each submission in case of co- authored papers) must register into EM.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations. IUI 2017 is pleased to invite tutorial proposals. Tutorials offer the community an opportunity to learn about the state-of-the-art concepts and techniques and allow the presenters to share their expertise. We invite proposals from active researchers and experienced presenters. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research and development in a specific area strongly related to IUI. Tutorials on interdisciplinary areas, novel or fast growing directions, and significant practical applications are also encouraged. Each accepted tutorial will receive one free IUI 2017 registration. Submission Guidelines The proposals should be PDF documents not exceeding 3 pages, submitted by e-mail to the tutorial chairs at: tutorial2017 at iui.acm.org. We encourage prospective presenters to contact the tutorial chairs in advance and discuss their tutorial ideas. Each tutorial proposal should provide the following information: ? Name and title: Your name, the tutorial title and the expected length of your tutorial (up to half a day). ? Description of tutorial topic and goal: Detailed outline of the tutorial, along with descriptions of the objectives, its relevance to IUI, benefits to the attendees, and course materials/handouts (links to online materials encouraged). ? Organizers: Name, email address, and affiliation of each presenter. Note that each listed presenter must register for the conference and be present at the tutorial. ? Target audience and prerequisites: Target audience level (introductory, intermediate, advanced) and prerequisite knowledge or skills. ? Experience: Tutors' short bios and their expertise related to the tutorial, including history of previously given tutorials. ? Equipment and software requirement: please list any that will be needed.

We are interested in papers on all aspects of digital preservation in the domains of arts, social sciences and humanities. CFP below: DPASSH 2017 Call for Papers The Sussex Humanities Lab and the Digital Repository of Ireland are pleased to announce that the second Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Science, and Humanities conference will take place 14-15 June 2017 at the University of Sussex, Brighton. The CFP has now been released, the submission deadline is midnight Sunday 11 December 2016 (GMT) Website: www.dpassh.org Twitter: @DPASSHConf Email: dpassh2017 at gmail.com DPASSH 2017 Conference Theme: ?Preserving Abundance: The Challenge of Saving Everything? The collaboration between SHL and DRI focuses on two major challenges for long-term digital preservation: maintaining access to the form and functionality of digital objects, and managing, filtering, interpreting, and critically engaging with these petabytes of information, now and in the future. While developments in long-term digital preservation enable ongoing access, the question of how these developments impact the way we interact with, use, reuse, investigate, and interpret our heritage, remains. What, for example, are the cultural and scholarly repercussions of saving ?everything?? DPASSH 2017 will, for instance, explore the implications of asking disciplines that evolved in a world of scarcity, to engage with an expanding abundance of historical records. As such, DPASSH 2017 will focus on both the technical, cultural, and societal challenges of digital preservation and the impact on research when (and if) everything is saved. It asks: now that the human record is digital, what methods, approaches, tools, or skills will researchers, and society, require to understand these colossal datasets? Submissions are particularly sought from researchers, practitioners, and scholars in the fields of digital history, digital humanities, digital materiality, digital performance, digital arts and music, cultural heritage and research institutions, as well as libraries, archives and industry. We also invite submissions for papers that critically reflect on any area relating to digital preservation in the humanities and social sciences, arts, and cultural heritage domains. Conference themes include but are not limited to: Preserving digital humanities research; Capturing and archiving artistic performance; Methods and tools for computational humanities and/or digital history; Preservation metadata as research objects; Linking research data and ?publication?; Stakeholder engagement and community approaches to preservation; Advocacy and national approaches to sustainability and open access; Aesthetics of preservation and content curation; Preservation and Trust; Technical challenges posed by datasets in arts/humanities/social sciences;Preservation and discovery infrastructures, software and tools. We look forward to welcoming you to Brighton.

These changes call for novel analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the 2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g., documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science, art, and the humanities. This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a practitioners? day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of posters and demos. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities, librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate. TOPICS JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development, hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design; scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics in digital libraries. SUBMISSIONS Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community?s attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference. All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers]. All accepted papers will be published by the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. ------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE GENERAL CO-CHAIRS * Robert H.

Every 18 months, the FM symposium attracts practitioners and researchers from industry and academia to present and discuss the most recent results and experience in formal methods. Those who join us in Cyprus this year will enjoy a highly selective programme of papers covering the broad range of formal methods, as well as a featured track on industry practice. Workshops will provide an opportunity to work in smaller groups on current challenges; tutorials will allow the acquisition of new skills; and a doctoral symposium will offer advice and encouragement to researchers just beginning their careers in this exciting and rapidly evolving field. The conference will take place in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol is the second largest city in Cyprus. It is located on the south coast of the island, between the ancient towns of Amathus and Kourion. Limassol is renowned for its extensive cultural traditions, and it offers a wide spectrum of activities and a number of museums and archaeological sites to the interested visitor.

(Koen)) Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 17:31:31 +0000 Subject: [Air-L] Connected migrants: KNAW colloquium and phd masterclass, 14-16 December, Amsterdam Message-ID: -- Dear colleagues, Apologies for cross-posting. We have several spots left for the masterclass and colloquium on connected migrants: encapsulation and cosmopolitanism in Amsterdam 14-16 December 2016. The registration deadline has been extended. Kindly register before November 28. If you have questions, do get in touch! Best wishes, Koen. ?Today, every society is just a collection of diasporas. People join the societies to which they are loyal and pay their taxes, but at the same time, they do not want to give up their identity. The connection between where you live and identity has been broken? ? Zygmunt Bauman (http://elpais.com/elpais/2016/01/19/inenglish/1453208692_424660.html) ?Most people use social media not to open their horizons wider, but to lock themselves in a comfort zone? ? Zygmunt Bauman (http://elpais.com/elpais/2016/01/19/inenglish/1453208692_424660.html) World renown emeritus professor Zygmunt Bauman will assess contemporary formations of the internet, diaspora, migration and multiculturalism on a public lecture on Friday 16, from 15.00-16.30. The KNAW (The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) has granted funding to Prof. Sandra Ponzanesi and Dr Koen Leurs. In December 2016, they will organise a KNAW Academy Colloquium entitled ?Connected migrants: encapsulation or cosmopolitanism?? with 16 international experts. Koen Leurs & Sandra Ponzanesi will organise a two-day seminar and a one-day masterclass for advanced PhD students and emerging scholars. ENCAPSULATION AND COSMOPOLITANISM In our contemporary world, migrants should be considered as 'connected migrants'. More than ever before, migrants can chose between different technologies to be in contact with loved ones living in their country of origin. This colloquium will innovatively address how digital practices of migrants revolves around the dialectic of 'encapsulation' and 'cosmopolitanism'. Previously, scholars singled out one or another of these processes. 'Homophily', the assumption that 'birds of a feather flock together', is popular among those who argue that transnational communication hinders integration and leads to segregation and radicalisation. Scholars however also contend that migrants can be present in both their host society and their homeland . Seen this way, migrants can connect with their homeland and diaspora, forming bonding capital and developing bridging, cosmopolitan capital by connecting with their host society. Although contested, cosmopolitanism is indispensable as a 'grounded category' to capture everyday reflexive imaginations of openness between self, other and world among elite and subaltern subjects. This colloquium innovatively brings experts in the field together to acknowledge how boundary making and cosmopolitanisation operate simultaneously and grasps social, cultural and political implications of migrant digital practices as grounded in everyday practices. Confirmed speakers include Prof. Zygmunt Bauman Prof. Miyase Christensen Dr. Dana Diminescu Dr. Alexander Dhoest Prof Godfried Engbersen Prof. Radhika Gajjala Dr. Myria Georgiou Prof. Cees Hamelink Dr. Gavan Titley Dr. Nishant Shah Dr. Sanjay Sharma Dr. Kevin Smets Prof. Huub Dijsselbloem Dr. Farida Vis Dr. Roopika Risam Dr Saskia Witteborn Dr. Kishonna Gray We also welcome PhD students, early career researchers and advanced students interested in the topic to apply for this exciting masterclass preceding the colloquium on December 14, 2016 in Amsterdam. International experts Farida Vis, Kishonna Gray & Roopika Risam will equip participants with a solid theoretical grounding and methodological skillset to analyse migrant connectivity practices.

Thought many on this list that look at online news imagery would find of great interest my latest that looks at a 48 hour period last week of over 1.3 million news images from news outlets worldwide and ran them all through Image::ExifTool to pull all of the available metadata fields out of each image. In total there were more than 5,000 distinct metadata fields found across the collection. Various statistics on the average age of news images (just over a third of news images that contain date information are from the last 24 hours, while more than a quarter of news images are more than a year old, reflecting file and stock photos), while mobile phones are found to account for a growing fraction of news imagery: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2016/10/19/the-hidden-world-of-news-imagery-exif-metadata-iphones-as-news-cameras/ For those interested in deep diving, here is a special extract of just the metadata in JSON format: http://blog.gdeltproject.org/vgkg-2-0-metadata-stats-at-2-weeks/ ~Kalev http://kalevleetaru.com/ http://blog.gdeltproject.org/ From sally at sally.com Wed Oct 19 20:01:28 2016 From: sally at sally.com (sally) Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 20:01:28 -0700 Subject: [Air-L] advice on course readings In-Reply-To: <97DC0D58-F985-43BC-AFC0-795EADD4CA9F@ncsu.edu> References: <97DC0D58-F985-43BC-AFC0-795EADD4CA9F@ncsu.edu> Message-ID: HI Adriana, Hope all is well.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two Marinas, world renowned?5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping, nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond the expectations of a Mediterranean island. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning.

Immersive Storytelling in Digital Ecosystems SUBMISSION DUE DATE: 15 January 2017 PUBLICATION: International Journal of E-Politics OBJECTIVE OF THE THEMED ISSUE: This special issue invites submissions on the E-Politics of Immersion with a particular interest in Immersive Storytelling in Digital Ecosystems. With Facebook's $2 billion acquisition of start-up company Oculus and its virtual reality (VR) head mounted headset-technology Rift, the intricate dynamics between media platforms and how they affect the mechanics of everyday life are about to change drastically. Facebook's investment in VR is part of a strategy to expand its digital ecosystem to full sensory technology and fully engage users through immersive content strategies in a mediated environment. In the age of massive media consumption and the digital performance of the self, of binge watching, selfies and transmedia narratives, immersion becomes a defining element for the understanding of our times. Emerging, interactive content strategies, in which both authors and audiences contribute meaning, embodiment, and emotions reframe immersive storytelling as a site for the production of new, alternative, and inclusive content ideas, where old identities and new social formations are contested and ?worked out?. But what does it mean to be fully immersed within a narrative? Immersive storytelling has much to do with a feeling of presence, the ?make-believe? of being involved, engaged and attached to a mediated narrative as a psychological and physiological sensation. While immersion in VR technology offers the opportunity to be surrounded by and move and act within representional spaces, it can be seen as the culmination of a long history in the creation of immersive environments. Immersive storytelling can be found in many traditional approaches in cinematic, theatrical, and literary research, but especially interactive and transmedia storytelling, 360? videos on YouTube, VR based theme parks, VR animated content, drama series, and VR games design pose questions how immersive mediated narratives can and should be, in which way they influence our media consumption, and how they relate to immersion as a sociocultural phenomenon and the powers, strategies, and dynamics of digital ecosystems. We invite papers that explore highly innovative ideas and/or paradigm shifts in conventional theory and practice of immersion and immersive storytelling. The International Journal of E-Politics is interdisciplinary so we welcome any disciplinary, theoretical or methodological approach, insights on usage scenarios and applications, and aspects of narrative technologies from a large range of fields and disciplines related to immersion and immersive storytelling, including computational narrative, narratology, media studies and media production, drama and performance studies, game studies and games design, semiotics, interactive arts, cognitive science, human-computer interaction and transmedia studies. We also encourage original contributions that explore the issues at any level i.e. individual or social, national or transnational. SUGGESTED TOPICS: We are interested in topics that include (but are not limited to) the following: * Theories and aesthetics of immersive storytelling e.g. spatial, narrative, social, lucid dimensions, etc. * Poetics of Immersion e.g. immersive storytelling in digital games, film and television, literature, non-fiction and documentaries, social media platforms, journalism, as tools for learning and teaching, in roleplays, theatre and improvisation, live installations, museums, etc. * Immersive Narratologies e.g. immersive storytelling in relation to traditional dramaturgies, interactive, multimedia, transmedia storytelling, etc. * Role of user/audience in immersive storytelling e.g. audience research approaches, augmented and virtual reality, fandom, health concerns, etc. * Role of author/designer in immersive storytelling e.g. script writing, format development, media production (360? cameras, editing software), etc. * Methods/frameworks for testing story development and user experiences (case studies, post-mortems and best practice) * Immersion and immersive storytelling as sociocultural phenomena e.g. Pok?mon Go, Snapchat, binge watching, fandom, social media, etc. * Immersion and immersive storytelling on digital ecosystems e.g. Facebook?s strategy for VR, Netflix, VR ?console war? (Oculus, Sony, HTC), etc. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers from any field of enquiry that deal with immersion and immersive storytelling are invited to submit papers for this themed issue. All submissions are due by January 15, 2017.

Message-ID: UCL Why We Post lecture steamed live on Periscope Time: 1pm (London) / 2pm (Berlin) / 8am (New York) Free to attend, broadcast by @ucl on Periscope -------------- We are delighted to announce a live-streamed lecture about Why We Post by Professor Daniel Miller that may be of interest to members of this list. This UCL lecture will be live-streamed around the world next week on the Periscope platform, in the first partnership of its kind with a UK university. The lecture, taking place on Monday 24 October at 1pm (BST), will be given by UCL Press author Professor Daniel Miller (UCL Anthropology) as part of the MSc programme in Digital Anthropology. Available for iOS and Android devices, the Periscope live-streaming video app gives everyone the ability to share and watch live broadcasts from their mobile phone, enabling interactive two-way communications between broadcaster and viewer in real time. During a live stream, viewers can connect directly with the broadcaster by sending messages or sharing their support by tapping the screen to send Hearts. The app was acquired by Twitter in early 2015, shortly after it was launched. This will be the first academic lecture to be Periscoped in partnership with a university and is based on findings from the 'Why We Post' research project - which investigated how social media is used around the world. This landmark project saw nine UCL anthropologists each spend 15 months living in eight countries in communities as varied as an English village, a factory town in North China, and a community on the Turkish-Syrian border. Each team member conducted in-depth analysis into how the local populations behave and interact across social media channels and how these platforms are impacting on the way we live our lives, with the findings available via a dedicated website with more than 100 films, a free e-learning course (MOOC) on FutureLearn and 11 Open Access books published by UCL Press. The course and website are available in eight languages. About Why We Post Why We Post is a project by nine anthropologists who conducted nine simultaneous 15-month studies on the uses and consequences of social media around the world. Sites included a factory town and a rural town in China, a town on the Syrian-Turkish border, low income settlements in Brazil and Chile, an IT complex set between villages in South India, an English village, and small towns in Italy and Trinidad. www.ucl.ac.uk/why-we-post From lori.emerson at gmail.com Mon Oct 24 11:10:24 2016 From: lori.emerson at gmail.com (Lori Emerson) Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 12:10:24 -0600 Subject: [Air-L] recruiting students for the Intermedia Arts, Writing, Performance PhD // U Colorado Boulder Message-ID: Dear all, Applications are now being accepted for the University of Colorado at Boulder's practice-based PhD in Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance. We would be grateful if you would pass this announcement on to any students or colleagues you think might be interested in our program, especially as we are trying to continue building as diverse a cohort as possible. The Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance (IAWP) unit is entering its second year and is an interdisciplinary digital arts and humanities research unit with a practice-based PhD. Located in the University of Colorado's College of Media, Communication and Information, IAWP's core faculty collaboratively investigate past and present forms of digital art, writing, and performance and offer graduate students a hands-on, experiential-based learning environment in which to explore emerging forms of creativity triggered by practice-based research methodologies. The research conducted in the program reflects the rapidly transforming knowledge systems and digital media economies emerging from the substantial technological shifts currently taking place in our society. Digital creative work and critical media literacy play a defining role in our information society and are transforming all aspects of contemporary life, including the way many professional visual artists, multimedia performers, writers, publishers, digital humanists and archivists pursue their practice. Traditional scholarly and creative work outputs such as the single-authored print book or conventional gallery exhibitions have already been challenged by the emergence of multi-authored and/or hybridized forms of transmission such as Internet art sites, electronic literature, live audio/visual performance, multi-platform storytelling or transmedia narratives, software art, interactive installations for public spaces, augmented reality, game art, networked media activism, and innovative art applications for mobile devices and tablets. IAWP?s internationally-renowned and affiliated faculty network collaborate with graduate students probing the significance of a digitally-expanded, process-based research environment located in a cluster of interdisciplinary research labs. The program provides a flexible pedagogical structure that will lead to the creation of new and hybridized forms of art, writing, performance, scholarship, theory, design, curation, exhibition, and publication appropriate for our current cultural moment. The program concentrates its curriculum on digital forms of creativity so as to cultivate cutting-edge investigations into the practice, theory, history, and philosophy of media and its relationships to creativity, communication, technology, and information.

Latest statistics show that more than ? of US adults use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, with social network use becoming almost ubiquitous among young adults, according to recent data from the Pew Research Center. Globally, an estimated 2.2 billion people use social networks on a daily basis, with that number projected to reach 2.5 billion by 2018. With their tremendous growth, social media have become an indispensable part of modern political campaigning, both in the United States and internationally. The increasing importance of social media among potential voters has not gone unnoticed by politicians. Hillary Clinton, for instance, launched her 2016 presidential campaign on Twitter and YouTube in an effort to reach a younger demographic and create a more accessible image among the public. As politicians increasingly rely on social media to get their messages across, the potential impact of social media in politics has become the focus of a growing number of research studies. Yet there is a lack of thorough understanding of the ways in which social media engagement affects voters, and a clear need to develop more comprehensive and inclusive models that go beyond simple linear relationships and take into account personal and psychological predispositions. There is also a need for more theoretically-driven content studies that examine social media as part of the larger ecosystem along with traditional media. With the upcoming 2016 US presidential elections, scholars have a timely opportunity to contribute to theory-building and revisit underlying key questions such as: How has social media use by political candidates evolved over time? Is there any conclusive evidence that politicians? use of social media tools increases their favorability or strengthens citizen engagement? What are the key factors that may mitigate the effects of social media on voters? Do these effects hold true in different contexts and for different platforms? Most importantly, does stronger reliance on social media motivate voters to retain higher levels of political knowledge or political participation, and if so, what are the underlying mechanisms? Given the evolution of social media use over time, the growing importance of social media for politicians around the globe and the lack of comprehensive theoretical understanding of the social media political content and use, underlying processes and potential effects, this special issue of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly has the potential to fill an important gap in the political communication literature. Combining a number of articles under this research umbrella could lead to important theoretical and methodological contributions, and also bridge several disciplinary domains including journalism, mass communication, new media and political science. Contributions: The proposed special issue will focus on the content and use of different social networks?such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, and YouTube?and their perceived and observed effects during most recent political campaigns in the United States and internationally. There is a need for more research on how social media function in a global context. Producing a volume that goes beyond stand-alone research studies and that combines individual articles in a comprehensive journal issue allows for better understanding of the underlying processes and potential outcomes of social media use across various demographic groups and different national contexts. Contributions may employ a variety of methodological approaches, both qualitative and quantitative, and could explore different forms of social media use for political purposes. Submissions are encouraged to examine a range of political outcome variables, including but not limited to campaign interest, political knowledge, and political and civic engagement. Both US-based and international authors can share most recent research findings related to innovative uses of social media in politics and discuss some of the opportunities and challenges brought by social media nationally and globally. The purpose of this special issue is to provide an opportunity for theory-building toward more comprehensive, comparative models of social media effects in political campaigns. Submission Deadline: The deadline for full paper submissions is June 1, 2017 at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmcq Authors should cearly designate their submission online as ?Special Issue on Social Media and Political Campaigning? and also note in their cover letters that the manuscript is for the JMCQ special issue.

Please email me with any questions or ideas. We are particularly interested in chapters about non-US populations, intersectionality, and historical approaches to harassment. Full CFP: https://jrvickery.com/2016/08/01/cfp-mediating-misogyny-technology-gender-harassment/ . ---- This proposed edited collection of interdisciplinary essays aims to critically analyze the ways the internet and digital technologies mediate misogyny, gender-based harassment, and assault. The online harassment of women has been gaining increasing visibility with contemporary incidents such as Gamergate, revenge porn sites, and the public misogynistic trolling campaigns directed at celebrities and journalists. In response, women are using the internet as a space for consciousness raising, feminist activism, collective storytelling, and resistance to gender-based harassment. This book will analyze how gender-based harassment is mediated and also uncover the ways women are using digital media technologies to fight back against harassment, trolls, and assault ? both online and offline. In an effort to propel the conversations forward and expand the discourse, we are particularly interested in chapters that not only document, critique, and analyze gender-based online harassment, but also put forward possible solutions that include a wide array of stakeholders and spheres including (but not limited to): activism, education, platform design, the law, social norms, workplace and platform policy, and the market. We invite theoretical, qualitative, and quantitative approaches to the topic and welcome different disciplinary approaches including, but not limited to: cultural studies, media studies, critical race theory, gender studies, feminist approaches, communication, journalism, sociology, cultural anthropology, technology studies, and historiography. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to: - Feminism as related to safe (digital) spaces - The public sphere and women?s participation in networked publics - The relationship between platform design, policies, and online harassment - The intersections of sexuality, race, ability, religion, age, class, and/or geography and the relationship to gender-based harassment - Historical approaches to and contextualization of digital misogyny - Case studies documenting, critiquing, and analyzing harassment via digital media - The blurred boundaries of online and offline harassment - Feminist anti-harassment activist campaigns - Mediated representations of online harassment in news journalism and/or fictional narratives - Harassment of women in the global south and other underrepresented online populations - Professional women and harassment on the job Please send *complete chapters* (max. 7,000 words w/ refs), a brief bio, and full CV to Dr. Jacqueline Vickery (jacqueline.vickery at unt.edu) and Dr. Tracy Everbach (tracy.everbach at unt.edu) by *November 1, 2016*. If you have an idea and want feedback, you may submit a 4-5 page abstract prior to the deadline. We will market the book for classroom adoption so take an undergraduate audience into consideration in your tone, scope, and approach. Routledge, Palgrave, and the University of Illinois Press have all indicated enthusiastic interest in the project and we will continue to consider other reputable academic publishers. Please circulate the CFP widely with graduate students, faculty, and independent scholars who work on any aspect of (digital) media, gender, and harassment. *Dr. Jacqueline Ryan **Vickery, Ph.D.* Assistant Professor Department of Media Arts College of Arts & Sciences University of North Texas @JacVick | http://jrvickery.com/ From gabriela at nyu.edu Wed Oct 26 20:08:20 2016 From: gabriela at nyu.edu (Gabriela T Richard) Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 23:08:20 -0400 Subject: [Air-L] CSCL 2017 Deadline extended to 11/11/2016 Message-ID: ****Full papers, short papers, and symposia deadline extended to November 11, 2016**** *CSCL 2017: Call for Papers* The 12th International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning June 18-22, 2017 Drexel University & The University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA Conference theme: Making a Difference ?

Drawing on a range of digital media ? from email to chatrooms and social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ? Lee demonstrates how online multilingualism is?closely linked to people's offline literacy practices and identities, and examines the ways in which?people draw on multilingual resources in their internet participation. Bringing together central concepts in sociolinguistics and internet linguistics, the eight chapters cover key issues such as: * language choice * code-switching * identities * language ideologies * minority languages * online translation.? Examples in the book are drawn from both all the major languages and many lesser-written ones such as Chinese dialects, Egyptian Arabic, Irish, and Welsh. A chapter on methodology provides practical information for students and researchers interested in researching online multilingualism from a mixed methods and practice-based approach. Multilingualism Online is key reading for all students and researchers in the area of multilingualism and new media, as well as those who want to know more about languages in the digital world.

Latest statistics show that more than ? of US adults use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, with social network use becoming almost ubiquitous among young adults, according to recent data from the Pew Research Center. Globally, an estimated 2.2 billion people use social networks on a daily basis, with that number projected to reach 2.5 billion by 2018. With their tremendous growth, social media have become an indispensable part of modern political campaigning, both in the United States and internationally. The increasing importance of social media among potential voters has not gone unnoticed by politicians. Hillary Clinton, for instance, launched her 2016 presidential campaign on Twitter and YouTube in an effort to reach a younger demographic and create a more accessible image among the public. As politicians increasingly rely on social media to get their messages across, the potential impact of social media in politics has become the focus of a growing number of research studies. Yet there is a lack of thorough understanding of the ways in which social media engagement affects voters, and a clear need to develop more comprehensive and inclusive models that go beyond simple linear relationships and take into account personal and psychological predispositions. There is also a need for more theoretically-driven content studies that examine social media as part of the larger ecosystem along with traditional media. With the upcoming 2016 US presidential elections, scholars have a timely opportunity to contribute to theory-building and revisit underlying key questions such as: How has social media use by political candidates evolved over time? Is there any conclusive evidence that politicians? use of social media tools increases their favorability or strengthens citizen engagement? What are the key factors that may mitigate the effects of social media on voters? Do these effects hold true in different contexts and for different platforms? Most importantly, does stronger reliance on social media motivate voters to retain higher levels of political knowledge or political participation, and if so, what are the underlying mechanisms? Given the evolution of social media use over time, the growing importance of social media for politicians around the globe and the lack of comprehensive theoretical understanding of the social media political content and use, underlying processes and potential effects, this special issue of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly has the potential to fill an important gap in the political communication literature. Combining a number of articles under this research umbrella could lead to important theoretical and methodological contributions, and also bridge several disciplinary domains including journalism, mass communication, new media and political science. Contributions: The proposed special issue will focus on the content and use of different social networks?such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, and YouTube?and their perceived and observed effects during most recent political campaigns in the United States and internationally. There is a need for more research on how social media function in a global context. Producing a volume that goes beyond stand-alone research studies and that combines individual articles in a comprehensive journal issue allows for better understanding of the underlying processes and potential outcomes of social media use across various demographic groups and different national contexts. Contributions may employ a variety of methodological approaches, both qualitative and quantitative, and could explore different forms of social media use for political purposes. Submissions are encouraged to examine a range of political outcome variables, including but not limited to campaign interest, political knowledge, and political and civic engagement. Both US-based and international authors can share most recent research findings related to innovative uses of social media in politics and discuss some of the opportunities and challenges brought by social media nationally and globally. The purpose of this special issue is to provide an opportunity for theory-building toward more comprehensive, comparative models of social media effects in political campaigns. Submission Deadline: The deadline for full paper submissions is June 1, 2017 at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmcq Authors should cearly designate their submission online as ?Special Issue on Social Media and Political Campaigning? and also note in their cover letters that the manuscript is for the JMCQ special issue.

Motivated by the desire to improve public access and capitalise on the potential of new technologies, the mass digitisation of collections and archives in the UK has been one of the most significant contemporary changes to our cultural and heritage institutions. These projects have been enthusiastically funded by public organisations, such as the AHRC and the Heritage Lottery Fund, as well as private companies, charities and foundations, such as Google and the Wellcome Trust. Given the advances made in public access initiatives in recent years, this appears to be an ideal moment to look back at this developing history of cultural digitisation, reflect upon its underpinning rationales, and discuss the successes and challenges faced by those entrusted with carrying out these projects. The topic of "open data" has generated a great deal of interest and debate in such diverse fields as science research, city planning and citizenship and government. A starting off point for this symposium will be to discuss whether the term is also applicable to the cultural sector. Should cultural material held in collections and archives also be considered a form of data? Can cultural institutions learn from the assumptions, achievements and failures of these various other "open movements"? We hope to debate these questions, alongside other challenges specific to cultural digitisation projects - including issues of safeguarding and sustainability, dealing with copyright, and diversifying audiences. While prioritising open and free flowing discussion, we propose to organise the symposium into panels exploring the following three themes: Adoption Beyond Access: If access is only the first step, how do institutions facilitate the use of their archives and collections? What forms of learning outreach have been successful and how are these initiatives funded and supported? How can engagement by diverse audiences be promoted? Legalities and Logistics: What are the key legal, practical and ethical/political implications of working on open source/access projects? How do artists negotiate the issues raised? What are the particular issues of copyright, creative commons and fair dealing faced by cultural archives and collections? Do legal or logistical restrictions create biases in the nature of available cultural content? Does the general public need to be educated in the legal and logistical implications of open cultural data? Joining Collections, Joining Forces: How can multiple institutions partner to form connections between their collections? What issues of standardisation or incompatibility does this engender? Do common frameworks and initiatives exist to facilitate these efforts? The symposium is co-organized by Hannah Barton, Dr. Joel McKim and Professor Martin Eve, and co-funded by the Vasari Research Centre for Art and Technology and the Birkbeck Centre for Technology and Publishing.

The LISO conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion in the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will be presented by national and international scholars on a variety of topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture. The papers primarily employ analysis of naturally occurring data drawing from methodologies that include conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnographic methods, ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, and interactional sociolinguistics. The conference theme this year is ?Encounter and Interface?. ?Encounter? and ?interface? here are both broadly defined and inextricably connected. Encounters, ranging from interactions between individual speakers to the intermingling of distinct linguistic and cultural systems, now occur through various contexts, both face-to-face and digitally-mediated. How are the ideological underpinnings of these encounters manifested and re-shaped in everyday interaction? How is online language and culture shaping? and being shaped by ? the norms of face-to-face communication? Presentations related to the conference theme may include but are not limited to: * blending of communicative interfaces (e.g., how is online interaction talked about in face-to-face conversation, or vice versa?) * reciprocal influences between types of literacy (e.g., digital, classroom, etc.) * the influence of technology on student agency in the classroom and at home * how social media challenges traditional understandings of interaction * technology as a language-learning resource * the role of embodiment in interaction (face-to-face and online) * interaction in virtual worlds * construction(s) of identity through online and face-to-face interaction * socialization into new cultural and linguistic systems * examinations of how interaction and language in use reveal power dynamics between speakers of varying genders, sexualities, and abilities, or ethnoracial, class, national, and linguistic backgrounds Although submissions based on the conference theme will be particularly welcome, innovative work on all aspects of language and interaction will be considered. We welcome abstracts from undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty working in the areas of Anthropology, Applied Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Communication, Digital Humanities, Education, Ethnic Studies, Feminist Studies, Internet Studies, Literacy Studies, Linguistics, Psychology, and Sociology.

This panel is sponsored by the new working group for Digital Ethnography and Folklore at the The International Society for Ethnology and Folklore in G?ttingen, Germany. More on SIEF here: http://www.siefhome.org/about.shtml I will paste a bit more on the panel below, but anybody doing work on digital ethnography or related digital methods would be super welcomed. If we have enough people, we can do a full day session at the conference and spend the rest of the time checking out other great stuff. The SIEF is always a great experience and a great excuse to go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G?ttingen Email me if you have any questions! Papers must be proposed via the website: http://nomadit.co.uk/sief/sief2017/panels.php5?PanelID=4993 General information on the conference: http://www.siefhome.org/congresses/sief2017/index.shtml See abstract below, and see you in G?ttingen! Rob Digitally dwelling: the challenges of digital ethnology and folklore and the methods to overcome them What does it mean to "dwell" in a digital community? Or inhabit a network location? Do we dwell together as we access different apps on the bus to work? Or do we dwell together in the synthetic spaces inside a virtual reality helmet? Participants in this panel will offer specific cases of challenges they faced dwelling in digital cultures and explore methodical fixes that attempt to address them. The pace at which the manifold uses of the internet and of other digital and mobile technologies are constantly evolving means that the nature of the digital worlds we inhabit together are always changing. In this environment of constant change, the researcher is always being presented with new challenges to the perspectives, methods and tools they have used before. The omnipresence and intensification of the digital challenge our perceptions of localities, presence and encounters. As a consequence, methods for online research need to redefine concepts such as the "field" and fieldwork, participant observation, interaction, etc. This panel will investigate methods in research on digital culture, digital practices and the impact and the implications of the digital in our lives by asking participants to present specific cases of problems they have faced in their digital research and the fixes they developed to address whether successful or not! We invite contributions approaching methods and methodologies in digital folklore and ethnology. Topics can include for example, but not only: - Collection and fabrication of data - Big and small data - Ethics - Ethnography Robert Glenn Howard http://rghoward.com _______________________________ University of Wisconsin -- Madison Director, Digital Studies & DesignLab Professor, Department of Communication Arts Affiliated Faculty Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Culture Religious Studies Program Robert F. & Jean E.
