[Jeremy Hunsinger]

(as several of the editors had life events happen, and we need around 20-30
more chapters before our deadline, we are having a another round for the
CFP)


Call for Abstracts for Chapters


Volume 2 of the International Handbook of Internet Research


(editors Jeremy Hunsinger, Lisbeth Klastrup, and Matthew Allen)


Abstracts due July 17; full chapters due Sept. 1 2017


After the remarkable success of the first International Handbook of
Internet Research (2010), Springer has contracted with its editors to
produce a second volume. This new volume will be arranged in two sections,
that address one of two different aspects of internet research:
foundations, and futures. Each of these meta-themes will have its own
section of the new handbook.


Foundations will approach a method, a theory, a perspective, a topic or
field that has been and is still a location of significant internet
research. These chapters will engage with the current and historical
scholarly literature through extended reviews and also as a way of
developing insights into the internet and internet research. Futures will
engage with the directions the field of internet research might take over
the next five years. These chapters will engage current methods, topics,
perspectives, or fields that will expand and re-invent the field of
internet research, particularly in light of emerging social and
technological trends. The material for these chapters will define the topic
they describe within the framework of internet research so that it can be
understand as a place of future inquiry.


We value the way in which this call for papers will itself shape the
contents, themes, and coverage of the Handbook. We encourage potential
authors to present abstracts that will consolidate current internet
research, critically analyse its directions past and future, and re-invent
the field for the decade to come. Contributions about the internet and
internet research are sought from scholars in any discipline, and from many
points of view. We therefore invite internet researchers working within the
fields of communication, culture, politics, sociology, law and privacy,
aesthetics, games and play, surveillance and mobility, amongst others, to
consider contributing to the volume.


Initially, we ask scholars and researchers to submit an 500 word abstract
detailing their own chapter for one of the two sections outlined above. The
abstract must follow the format presented below. After the initial round of
submissions, there may be a further call for papers and/or approaches to
individuals to complete the volume. The final chapters will be chosen from
the submitted abstracts by the editors or invited by the editors. The
chapter writers will be notified of acceptance within 2 weeks. The chapters
will be due September 2017, should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words
(inclusive of references, biographical statement and all other text).

Each abstract needs to be presented in the following form:


· Section (Either Foundations or Futures)

· Title of chapter

· Author name/s, institutional details

· Corresponding author’s email address

· Keywords (no more than 5)

· Abstract (no more than 500 words)

· References


Please e-mail your abstract/s to: internet.research.handbook at gmail.com


We look forward to your submissions and working with you to produce another
definitive collection of thought-provoking internet research. Please feel
free to distribute this CfP widely.


Thank you


Jeremy, Lisbeth, and Matt
