[Air-L] CFP: New Media & Digital Cultures

[Mark Nunes]

*CONCLUSIONS: ON BEYOND THE END*

The Working Group on New Media and Digital Cultures invites submissions for
the 21st annual meeting of the Cultural Studies Association (CSA), June
1-4, 2023, at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. As in 2022, we are
planning on a hybrid conference that will allow for simultaneous
presentation and participation for those unable to join us. Those
submitting to the conference can indicate whether they would prefer to
present virtually or in person.

We hosted eight panels, one roundtable discussion, and one screening last
year, and we hope for an equally vibrant and diverse range of presentations
this year. The theme for the 2023 CSA Conference is “Conclusions”. We
encourage papers, preconstituted panels, roundtables and praxis sessions
that interpret this theme broadly through the lens of new media and digital
cultures. Topics might include:

   - Stack Overflow: After the End of the Internet
   - Splinternet Politics
   - Compulsory Engagement: “Resistance is Futile!”
   - Algorithmic Conclusions and Proxy Predictions
   - Platform Collapse: Evolution and Interference
   - Irrefutable: Evidence and the Network
   - The Teleology of Tech
   - Starting a New Game: Innovation and the Social Adjustment

*SUBMISSION PROCESS*
All proposals should be submitted through Easy Chair using the following
