[Air-L] Call for essays Survey of 1960-70's Networked Experiments (Condor, Phoenix, OBAN, etc)

[Noel Packard]

Dear Colleagues,

Hope you are having a good day!
Please share this CALL for essays for an issue of *American Behavioral
Scientist* entitled 'Pre-Internet Networked Operations'.

Essays invited for a survey of 1960s -1970s network experiments such as:
*COINTELPRO *(US); *CHAOS* (US); *Phoenix* (Vietnam); *Condor* (South
America); *ORDEN* (El Salvador); *Jakarta* (Indonesia); *OBAN* (Brazil)
that networked societies prior to the Internet. The focus is on how evident
or non-evident the communications were that supported these operations; the
staffing and hardware; how networks were used; and, how they contributed to
social and financial inequality and political polarization in the
populations they monitored. These networked communities will be an
unclassified, one-of-a-kind, historical-comparative, resource for media
scholars, media users and social scientists.
