Call for Papers TECHNOLOGY AND POWER The International Committee for the History of Technology?s 46th Symposium in Katowice, Poland, 22 ? 27 July 2019 Deadline for proposals is Tuesday, 15 January 2019 Social theorists from Max Weber to J?rgen Habermas have argued that power relations are among the defining characteristics of every society, along with culture and economic relations. The main theme of this conference, Technology and Power, seeks to interrogate the various roles technologies have played in the development of power relations in the past, in different parts of the world. Political power (local, state, and inter-state) is the most obvious of these, but relations of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, labour, age, and so on, also include elements of power. Technologies have instrumental, mediating, undermining, reinforcing, and constructive roles in all of these relations. Some technologies have been used by elites, others have served the relatively powerless. Think of weapons as means of state power, but also as instruments of revolution; the printed word as a vehicle of state and church propaganda, but also as a disrupter of all kinds of authority; contraceptive devices and pills that have changed relations between the sexes and in families. Power is usually contested, and technologies often change the chances of those involved in these conflicts. The recent interest in transnational history has extended the range of these topics and revealed their interconnectedness. Technological change is disrespectful of national borders: technical knowledge and technicians travel, and new technologies of communication and transport transform balances of trade and power on a worldwide scale. We have only begun to explore these global dimensions, and the symposium will offer the opportunity to push this project forward. A broad but non-exhaustive list of possible topics for paper presentations follows. Proposals and presentations on a wide spectrum of topics related to the general theme are very much encouraged. Proposals outside the main theme will also be considered. 1. Technology and the State Engineers and architects in power - forms of technocracy across the world and in different times - case studies of technocrats - large technocratic projects (think of TVA or the post WWII dam building projects in the third world, and similar projects in earlier times) The State and the economy, from mercantilism to the present - energy politics - technical education - stimulating small companies, from crafts to modern start-ups State power and military technology - military technology and the rise of the modern nation-state - technology-driven military revolutions - war and technological change - military and technological aspects of unconventional warfare - military technology in non-military settings - military-industrial (-academic) complexes (not only US) Technical forms of government - technologies of surveillance (as in border control, security services, public health) - environmental governance - managing populations by means of statistics or eugenics Technology and international relations 2. Design as politics Urban planning across the world - the design of city life - transit infrastructures - ecological urbanism Scripting the everyday - attempts to shape life through the design of homes - offices and products for everyday use Design fantasies - technological utopias and dystopias Design and political ideology - from totalitarianism to neoliberalism - design activism (as in DIY and the ?maker movement?) 3. Power and the body The rise of Big Pharma Reproductive technology, gender and family relations Self-monitoring technologies, the ?quantified self? Resisting and rejecting modern medical interventions; alternative and non-western health care practices 4. Maintaining, repairing, and appropriating technologies Repair and maintenance of large technological systems Everyday cultures of maintenance and repair in developed and developing nations Sites of repair: factories, workshops, maker-labs, and homes Hacking and modifying digital and material things PROPOSAL GUIDELINES The symposium covers all periods and all areas of the globe. In keeping with a cherished tradition of the field, the meeting is open to scholars from all disciplines and backgrounds. The conference language is English. We especially encourage graduate students to submit proposals and to participate in the symposium. INDIVIDUAL PAPER proposals must include: (1) a 300-word (maximum) abstract; and (2) a one-page (maximum) CV. Abstracts should include the author?s name and email address, a short descriptive title, three to five key words, a concise statement of the thesis, a brief discussion of the sources, and a summary of the major conclusions. If you are submitting a paper proposal dealing with a particular subtheme in this CfP, please indicate this in your proposal. In preparing your paper, remember that presentations are not full-length articles. You will have no more than 20 minutes to speak, which is roughly equivalent to 8 double-spaced typed pages. For more suggestions about preparing your conference presentation, please consult the guidelines at the conference website. Contributors are encouraged to submit full-length versions of their papers after the conference for consideration by ICOHTEC?s peer-reviewed journal ICON. PANEL proposals must include (1) an abstract of the panel (300 words maximum), listing the proposed papers and a session chairperson; (2) abstracts for each paper (300 words maximum); (3) a one-page CV (maximum) for each contributor and chairperson. Panels should consist of three or four speakers. Several panels may be organized on one topic. We encourage the creation of panels which examine technology and power relations in different parts of the world, enabling international comparisons, and contributing to an emerging transnational historiography. We welcome especially contributions from beyond Europe and the United States, which so far have been less fully covered by historians of technology. The programme committee reserves the right to relocate papers to different themes and add papers to panels. POSTER proposals must include (1) a 300-word (maximum) abstract; and (2) a one-page CV. Abstracts should include the author?s name and email address, a short descriptive title, a concise statement of the thesis, a brief discussion of the sources, and a summary of the major conclusions. Please indicate which of the symposium subthemes your poster refers to (if applicable). The programme committee also encourages submission of ALTERNATIVE FORMATS for sessions: round tables, the presentation of an important book or film, etcetera. Members of ICOHTEC pay a reduced fee.

Canada M3J 1P3 jhadlaw@yorku.ca Call for ICOHTEC Summer School 2019 Technology and Power University of Silesia, Poland 18 ? 22 July 2019 For PhD students and recent post-doc researchers Deadline: 4 March 2019 Objectives The Third ICOHTEC Summer School in Katowice will combine the 46th ICOHTEC Symposium with a three-day intensive seminar course geared to PhD students and young post-doctoral scholars. The Summer School brings together conventional seminars and the participation in the ICOHTEC Symposium. The topic of the ICOHTEC Summer School is ?Technology and Power?. In line with the main thematic objectives of the ICOHTEC Symposium, the Summer School aims to approach its theme open-mindedly and multidisciplinarily. The School enhances students? skill to comprehend and study versatile relationships between society and technology. In particular, the Summer School aims to deal with these questions: ? What are the main thematic implications of the theme technology and power? ? Which theoretical concepts and methodological approaches are most suitable dealing with it? ? What could a new and original approach to the theme look like? Theme Intuitively, the phrase ?Technology and Power? refers to political and military power, surveillance, large-scale energy systems and colossal infrastructure projects, i.e. intentional power that public or private institutions exercise in society by means of technology while trying to achieve their goals. On the other hand, technology has also concealed or even unintentional power with respect to people, media, education, language, life style and the body. In addition, there are attempts to gain an upper hand of technology and related standard values. Maintaining, repairing and appropriating technologies or designing them on a human scale are applied to tame technology running wild due to fierce competition of business interests. Shortly, the Summer School aims to study relationships between technology and power from broad and many-sided viewpoints. It is open to versatile approaches and traditions. Description The ICOHTEC Summer School consists of two parts: Part 1. Interactive discussion seminars Objectives of the School include inspiration and discussion. Daily lectures and students? research papers (generally on their PhD or post-doc projects distributed in advance) are to inspire participants. The aim is to appropriate discussion on research topics to methodo??logical and theoretical approaches. Expert tutors will moderate these dis?cussions in small groups. A joint feedback colloquium will end the School. Part 2. Active attendance in the ICOHTEC Symposium Students of the Summer School are expected to participate in the ICOHTEC Symposium and its scientific sessions according to their personal tailor-made schedules. Participants pay for the Summer School the registration fee of 60 ? or the combined fee of 130 ? for both the School and the following Symposium. These fees include participation services and lunches. Accommodation at student dormitories and a limited number of ICOHTEC travel grants will be available. All students who complete the programme will receive an attendance certificate. Target Participants - PhD students with a subject-appropriate academic background. - Post-doctoral researchers with a subject-appropriate academic background Participants are expected to - be able to speak, read and write in English. - undertake preparatory reading in advance of the programme. - attend all lectures and seminar sessions. - be actively engaged in the topics of the sessions. - attend the ICOHTEC 2019 Symposium and present a paper there as a single or co-author. - submit a final assignment of 2,000-2,500 words on one of the topics discussed in the Summer School within six weeks after the summer school.

Or can progression and regression occupy the same space? According to anthropologist Brian Larkin (2008), ?progress can thus be seen as a mode of social ordering, of governmentality in Foucault?s sense that power works not by repression but by incorporation and internalizing modes of rule.? In other words, the tools of innovation often reimagine dominant ideologies with both positive and negative effects. Insidious, the 14th Annual Communication Graduate Caucus (CGC) Conference, invites critical examinations of the slow, subtle, gradual changes facilitated by media technologies and communication processes. Most importantly, we are interested in insights regarding how we as scholars, citizens, and societies might challenge the potentially harmful aspect(s) of media and communication. The Communication Graduate Caucus welcomes proposals for 15-minute individual paper presentations, research-creation (research that includes creative production, artistic experimentation, and innovation in understanding and mobilizing knowledge), or pre-constituted panels. Topics and themes may include but are not limited to: Critical examinations of technological innovationsLGBTQIA+ representation in popular culture (e.g. queerbaiting, bury your gays trope, etc.) Discursive constructions of utopian/dystopian futures Histories of specific technologies and/or media Remediation of niche/fan/subcultures Regulation of communication and media Environmental effects of digital commodities Colonialism, race, and gender and the impacts of a ?woke? society Social and ethical impacts of cybernetics, robots, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) The CGC Conference is proud to announce our keynote speaker, Dr. M?l Hogan, Assistant Professor of Environmental Media in the Communication, Media and Film Department at the University of Calgary. All submissions should include a 250-word abstract (in .DOC, .DOCX, or .PDF) with the full name, current academic affiliation, biography of 50-100 words, and contact information of the individual presenters. Panel proposals should include both a 250-word abstract for the panel, explaining how it relates to the conference theme, and abstracts for all individual papers submitted in one document. Research-creation proposals should also outline technical requirements needed for their presentation. Please send submissions to insidiousconference@gmail.com by January 04, 2019 with ?CGC conference submission? in the email subject line. The CGC Conference provides an opportunity for graduate students and emerging scholars alike to present their work, receive feedback, and participate in networking and professional development with colleagues from across Canada. Upon abstract acceptance, students are encouraged to submit their full paper for the Canadian Journal of Communication Student Paper Prize by February 14, 2019.

From the publisher: In this volume, Garnet C. Butchart shows how human communication can be understood as embodied relations and not merely as a mechanical process of transmission. Expanding on contemporary philosophies of speech and language, self and other, and community and immunity, this book challenges many common assumptions, constructs, and problems of communication theory while offering compelling new resources for future study. Human communication has long been characterized as a problem of transmitting information, or the ?outward? sharing of ?inner thought? through mediated channels of exchange. Butchart questions that model and the various theories to which it gives rise. Drawing from the work of Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jacques Lacan?thinkers who, along with Martin Heidegger and Michel Foucault, have critiqued the modern notion of a rational subject?Butchart shows that the subject is shaped by language rather than preformed, and that humans embody, and not just use, the signs and contexts of interaction that form what he calls a ?communication community.? Accessibly written and engagingly researched, Embodiment, Relation, Community is relevant for researchers and advanced students of communication, cultural studies, translation, and rhetorical studies, especially those who work with a humanistic or interpretive paradigm.

If you are in Montreal on 7 Feb, we look forward to seeing you! Please forward this notice to your colleagues, students, and any others who you think may be interested to attend. Best wishes, JS [http://www.mediahistoryresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Thibault-1-724x1024.jpg] Recovering Mechanology: The Canadian Media Theory that Never Was | Ghislain Thibault The contribution of Canadian scholars Carpenter, Innis and McLuhan to media studies has been widely acknowledged worldwide, almost to the point of canonization. In the Toronto School?s shadow, however, other minor intellectual paradigms in the country also sought to address the complex relationship between culture and technology in the postwar era. Among those was ?mechanology,? or the ?science of machines,? first outlined by the French engineer and architect Jacques Lafitte in his book, Reflections on the Science of Machines (1932), and later recovered by two Canadians in the 1960s, essayist and filmmaker Jean Le Moyne and computer scientist John Hart. Centering on their collaboration, the revival of mechanology in Canada sought to bring about a renewal in humanist thought by introducing technology as paramount and essential to human culture. Through their interaction and engagement with the work of artists, such as Glenn Gould and Greg Curnoe, and philosophers, such as Gilbert Simondon and Georges Canguilhem, Le Moyne and Hart outlined a project that aspired to bridge the humanities, applied sciences, and the arts. Tracing the development of this now forgotten science of machines provides a way to reexamine the intellectual and political context out of which Canadian media theory gained significance nationally and internationally. Moreover, mechanology?s failure to become as visible as cybernetics or media theory offers a meaningful site for thinking the pivotal cultural and technological changes that marked the shift from energy to information machines in the second half of the twentieth century.

Members of the public are capturing dramatic events around the world and then sharing them, not only on social media platforms, but with professional news media organizations which are eagerly incorporating posts, tweets and images into professionally produced news stories. The presence of amateur content in news discourses is a growing phenomenon that is reshaping the profession of journalism, news coverage and public expectations. The issues raised by these practices often involve tensions between labour precarity and professionalism, entertainment and evidence, centralized and decentralized management of news rooms, traditional and emerging forms of social media news narratives, truth and immediacy. The symposium will bring together scholars and practitioners to share ideas and experiences in connection with the utilization of UGC in professional news coverage. Keynote Speakers The *keynote speaker on May 23 *will be *Dr. Lilie Chouliaraki*, Professor of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her main research interest lies in the histories and challenges of mediated suffering. She is the recipient of three international awards for her publications, more recently the Outstanding Book of the Year award of the International Communication Association (ICA 2015, for ?The Ironic Spectator?). Dr. Chouliaraki?s work has focused on three domains in which the human body-in-need appears as a problem of communication: i) disaster news, ii) humanitarian campaigns & celebrity advocacy, iii) war & conflict reporting. She has published extensively on how digital platforms and genres (twitter, mobile phone footage, selfies) are fundamentally changing conflict reporting and the witnessing of war today. Her book on the topic, entitled ?Witnesisng without responsibility. Digital testimonies from conflict zones? is forthcoming in Columbia University Press. Her work has been published in French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Danish, Greek and (currently) in Chinese. The *keynote speaker on May 24* will be *Dr. Mette Mortensen,* Associate Professor of media studies at the University of Copenhagen and a CARGC Faculty Fellow at the Annenberg School of Communication. She is the Principal Investigator of the large, collective research project ?Images of Conflict, Conflicting Images? (2017-2021). She is the author or editor of seven books, including the monograph *Eyewitness Images and Journalism: Digital Media, Participation, and Conflict* (Routledge 2015). She has published articles in international journals such as *Journalism Practice*, *Information, Communication & Society*, *Media, Culture & Society*, and *International Journal of Cultural Studies. *Moreover, she is a member of the editorial collective of *Northern Lights: Yearbook of Film and Media Studies *and serves on several editorial boards of book series. Invited Participants Among the invited talks will be presentations from Derek Thomson, Editor-in-Chief of the Observer Program from *France24*; Padraic Ryan, Senior Journalist, *Storyful*; Derek Bowler, Head of Social Newsgathering, *Eurovision News Exchange*; Paul Moore, Executive Producer of News, *CBC Edmonton*; and Natalie Miller, Assistant Editor at the *BBC* *UGC Hub*.

FILM / FORM / LIFE Toronto, Canada, May 17-18, 2019 On the walls of the Chauvet cave in France, drawings of animals dating back to 30,000 years are represented with additional sets of legs. Recently, it was suggested that far from being na?ve mistakes, these additional limbs were meant to represent life forms in movement. Thousands of years later, ?tienne-Jules Marey?s chronophotography attempted to capture animated life by decomposing its movement in discrete images. In 2013, National Geographic published a short video of a sprinting cheetah recorded with a Phantom camera filming at 1200 frames per second. The engine for cinema?s genesis, it appears, is closely intertwined with the challenge of giving form to animated life. It is no coincidence that the recent mutations reshaping both how movies are being made and experienced are taking place right at the moment when a geological age radically transformed by human activities for thousands of years is finally being granted its own name: the anthropocene. The relentless recreation of the world has for long been the concern of artistic expression, from animation in the paleolithic age, to attempts by early cinema at decomposing life?s movement, to the most recent feats by ground breaking digital technologies redefining the realm of vision. Ongoing mutations in the ways in which we experience a world itself perpetually changing demand that we constantly come up with new forms of expression. From this perspective, life itself seems currently suspended in the tension between what George Bataille once called the ?formless? and the desire (if not the need) to give a sensible and intelligible form to our lives. Life forms, far from being fixed, increasingly appear to be in flux, transitioning from one state to another, through genetic cloning and digital simulation. This year?s Spiral Film and Philosophy conference wants to examine how cinema has been and may very well still be teetering on the threshold of that which is yet without a recognizable form ? the unsayable, but also the untamed: what exists beyond regimes of traditional representation ? and the reproduction of recognizable forms of life. As such, this call for papers is open to but also extends beyond the mere cinematic capture and representation of life. It welcomes contributions about filming life, including but not limited to: ? recent breakthroughs in 3D cinematic rendering of previously invisible molecular activities; ? ?cartoon physics? and animation (including puppetry, claymation, stop-motion, etc.); ? micro-cinematography experiments and time-lapsed representation of vegetable life; ? data visualization of population transformation and movement (migration, etc.); ? Muybridge?s and Marey?s motion studies to early scientific cinema; ? medical deployments of photography and the cinematic image; ? life, movement and death of cyberbody, digital organisms; ? life under neoliberal capitalism, accelerationist aesthetics; ? cinema and automatism (Bazin, Cavell, Surrealism, etc.); ? biological (science-)fictions (Painlev?, Cousteau, etc.); ? machine vision, drone vision, surveillance cinema; ? imaginary monsters, monstrous imaginaries; ? environmental disasters, the chthulucene; ? posthuman life and the anthropocene; ? sensory ethnography, haptic cinema; ? afrofuturist depictions of life; ? live cinema, interactive TV; ? metamorphosing bodies; ? queer animation; ? biopolitical cinema. We invite participants to think forms of life as being more than the mere subject of a cinematic regime of representation. What would it entail, for example, to think of cinema itself as a form of life in constant flux, resisting any definitive spectacular commodification? More to the point, what would it mean to think of a kinetic animation of form ? or style, or ethos ? as being radically inseparable from its content? Could ?cinema? be more than an objectified mise-en-sc?ne, but the designation for an ensemble of living practices and technics taking place in a specific but ever-changing environment? We also welcome papers that engage with the work of specific philosophers and theorists who think about forms of life and philosophy from a variety of perspectives and further relate them to questions of cinema and media studies. We also welcome filmmakers, media practitioners, and activists to present and discuss their work. The confirmed Keynote Speaker is Deborah Levitt, Assistant Professor of Culture & Media Studies at The New School, in New York City. She is the author of The Animatic Apparatus: Animation, Vitality, and the Futures of the Image (Zero Books, 2018), and has published articles and interviews in Waking Life: Kino zwischen Technik und Leben, Inflexions: A Journal of Research-Creation, The Scholar and Feminist Online, Acting and Performance in Moving Image Culture: Bodies, Screens, and Renderings, The Year?s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory 2010, and The Agamben Dictionary, among others. The conference will be held in Toronto, Canada May 17-18, 2019.

(2018) in the Journal of Communication examined racial disparities within citational practices to make a broader intervention on ways current Communication scholarship reproduces institutional racism and sexism. The underrepresentation of scholars of color within the field in regards to citations, editorial positions, and publications and ongoing exclusion of nonwhite, feminist, queer, post-colonial, and Indigenous voices is a persistent and systemic problem in the production of disciplinary knowledge. ICA President Paula Gardner echoed similar sentiments in her 2018 presidential address, calling for steps for inclusion and diversity within the International Communication Association as well as the larger field. This pre-conference aims to highlight, consider, and intervene in these issues. We seek submissions that address areas such as: ? The marginalization of communication scholarship in which race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and other axes of exclusion are central; ? Communication scholarship in the context of the global rise of white supremacy and right-wing ethno-nationalism movements; ? Communication scholarship from postcolonial and decolonial perspectives; ? Who tends to be hired and who serves as leaders/gatekeepers in the field; ? The politics of citation and publication; ? How #CommunicationSoWhite can function as an intervention within communication studies organizations, departments, and scholarship. We anticipate many submissions will center on the U.S. and other Western contexts; we also hope the pre-conference will provide a discussion that spans both global North and South, and we encourage participation by submitters from outside North America and the U.K. Please submit either an EXTENDED ABSTRACT or a PANEL PROPOSAL. Extended abstracts should be 1,500-3,000 words, including notes and references. We encourage different types of submissions including position papers, case studies, and more conventional research papers that tackle any issue relating to the preconference themes. Panel proposals should include a minimum of four participants. We will accept panels following a traditional format where presenters each speak for 10-15 minutes before a Q-and-A period. We also encourage panel proposals that do not follow such a format; e.g. consider high-density panels, which have six or more participants who each speak for 6 minutes or less, or panels where panelists circulate their papers to each other ahead of time to generate a more engaged discussion during the presentation session. Provide a 400-word rationale describing the panel overall, a 200-word abstract for each participant?s contribution, and a list of participants? names, affiliations, and contact information. Travel grants: Depending on funding availability, we may have the ability to offer one or two modest travel grants (maximum $400). If you are a graduate student and/or a scholar resident in a non-Tier A country (see https://www.icahdq.org/page/tiers for a list), please note this status in your submission and indicate that you would like to be considered for a travel grant. Exclusions: Submissions should not consist primarily of previously published or in-press scholarship. Deadline: Please submit by Thursday, February 7, 2019, 16:00 UTC, by emailing BOTH Eve Ng at nge@ohio.edu and Khadijah Costley White at klw147@comminfo.rutgers.edu Attendance by non-presenters: Those who are not presenting are also welcome to register for attendance.

Date: Mon Jan 21 09:56:02 2019 Subject: [acc-cca-l] DM@X Conference on January 25-26 at the University of Toronto In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear all- This is a final notice to let you know about an important conference coming up at the end of this week, on January 25-26, 2019. It is called Digital Media at the Crossroads (?DM@X?) and it will take place at the University of Toronto. The program is fully described at the conference website, which is at http://www.digitalmediaatthecrossroads.ca. This is the fifth annual DM@X conference and is sponsored by 38 educational and cultural organizations, including the Canadian Communications Association. The regular registration fee for the conference is $399 which covers the program materials and a buffet lunch. However, all CCA members qualify for the faculty rate of $99. As you will see from the website, the program for the conference has been organized to be informative, wide-ranging and provocative. Following a review of revenues, employment and future trends in each sector of the digital media universe in Canada, individual panels will address the future of over-the-top video services, the impact of Google and Facebook News on print media, and changes in copyright policy. An expert from the European Union will provide an update on developments affecting local content creation in Europe. And there will be a ?Town Hall? meeting with members of the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel, which is reviewing the federal legislation affecting the digital media sector. There is an impressive list of speakers, all of whom are directly involved in the digital media business, whether as producers, regulators, entrepreneurs or academics. The photos and bios of all the speakers can be found here. I highly recommend this conference to CCA members. If you are interested, you can become registered on the website, which is here.

Please join us on January 28, 2019, 5:30PM, we will feature two speakers: Andrew Iliadis, PhD, Temple University Semantic Media: Who?s Building Meaning into our Machines? Abstract: Since Google declared, in a 2012 blog post, that they would begin focusing on ?things, not strings? there has been renewed interest in semantically enhancing web data. As the amount of data on the internet grows, there is a need to structure those data to produce semantic interoperability and increase understanding. To this end, tools like metadata schemas, knowledge graphs, and applied ontologies are experiencing a resurgence. Yet, along with increasing our ability to make sense of data through semanticization, there are identifiable problems related to interoperability that may negatively impact people, practices, and places. This talk explores semantic media technologies by asking if they are appropriate for modeling all kinds of knowledge, and how such modeling affects access and control?. Tero Karppi, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Toronto Disconnect. Facebook?s Futures? Abstract: After the Cambridge Analytica revelations, #DeleteFacebook hashtag became a trend. #DeleteFacebook was the crystallization of the demands to leave the social media site because it was compromising privacy, exploiting user data, and the connections it established could be used to manipulate the current political climate. In this talk, I show that the demands to disconnect Facebook have existed almost as long as the social media site. Furthermore, I argue that this threat of disconnection is constitutive to how Facebook understands user engagement and builds its affective bonds. Facebook?s futures depend on disconnection and are designed against its different modes and modalities.

Important questions in this regard include: What types of organizational changes are influenced by the introduction of new Internet technologies, digital devices, and e-services in society? How do new information technologies and system architectures accommodate changes in online business transactions, services, organizations and communities? How do information and telecommunication technologies influence society and create innovations in fields such as health, education, law and visual arts? How does the Internet of Things and advances in AI redefine human-human and human-machine networks? What are the social, cultural, ethical, legal, and political challenges arising from the integration of digital technologies in life and work at the individual, organizational, and public level? Interdisciplinary approaches to E-Business Technology integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines and fields required for complex problem solving and innovation at the interface of business, technology and society. This research handbook provides comprehensive coverage of current research within E-Business Technology as a filed of interdisciplinary research that spans e-health, e-government, e-learning, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and mobile commerce. It will also cover the new ethical, legal, social, and cultural issues connected to the current and future developments in the field. This is the first major research publication that offers a holistic vision of E-Business Technology to help leverage knowledge concerning current practices, challenges and future opportunities. Objective of the Book The objective of the book is to provide comprehensive coverage of E-Business Technology as an emerging interdisciplinary field of research. This 2 volume collection covers contributions from Information and Communications Technology, Business, Engineering, the Social Sciences and Humanities, Health Sciences, and interdisciplinary areas of scholarship focused on the complex interconnections between technology, business, life and society. This edited volume will make a contribution to multiple disciplines by presenting key perspectives on the evolving research field of E-Business Technology. There is a growing demand for such a text to help guide technology designers, information specialists, researchers, engineers, managers, and administrators in areas where emerging new technologies are having an important impact on business and society. Target Audience This edited book has a unique interdisciplinary scope which should be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students, instructors, researchers, and managers working in complex technological contexts who need expert knowledge about technology to inform current technology practices and research. It will be widely read within the Business, Engineering and Computer Science, Health Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Technology Studies. It will be of particular interest to individuals working closely in technology related areas of research and practice. Readers will gain a thorough understanding of the scope, complexity, and importance of e-business technologies in society from key experts leading the field.

Storytelling is central to effective branding in fame. Furthermore, the use of biographical elements has been recognized as a rhetorical device in writing op-eds, personal essays, and public speaking that often raise awareness on critical issues in popular media. Biography, as Lola Romanucci-Ross points out, is mainly a useful symbolic tool for reflecting, rotating and reversing real-life situations. Like biography, autobiography, memoirs, and testimonials play crucial roles in mapping social facts. The impacts of glamorous forms of storytelling in scandals, gossip, and rumor become so crucial that they are often studied as sociological data, regardless of whether they enable actual social change. For pop culture enthusiasts and social observers, celebrities may or may not be actual role models in telling meaningful stories and constructing subjectivity. Yet, fans and students often invest affective and intellectual labor when it comes to accepting, negotiating or contesting what appears to be significant in understandings of popular figures. Celebrity scholars are equally familiar with the complexities of engaging with and researching ?glossy topics?. As Sean Redmond (2014) has shown, acknowledging one?s own celebrity attachments can produce innovative ways of (re)writing fame. Conversely, these first-person accounts may also contribute to the celebritisation of individual academics. What is the critical and pedagogical potential of personal takes on fame within the field of celebrity studies? Celebrity narratives are perceived to have real power whether or not celebrities are ?important? people in the academic or moral sense. Drawing on current affairs, celebrity politicians have used personal claims and outrageous stories to push political agendas in divisive ways. Many other famous personas use extravagant fashion as expressions of their luxurious lives and build persona brands at the cost of ethics. For Elizabeth Wissinger, the ?glamour labor? involved in self-fashioning, surveillance, and branding is often an inevitable and unfortunate outcome in the production of consumer values and desirable bodies in fashion industries. Public personas still self-fashion themselves and promote their brand by extending text(ures) of language that sells to consumer tastes. However, the challenge remains to sell the values of social justice. Can public intellectuals learn narrative strategies from celebrity storytelling and fill this gap What appears to be a shared reason behind the success of most popular narratives, verbal (including oral) and non-verbal, is a persuasive ?strategy? to effectively tell life stories. If studying celebrity biographies / autobiographies, best-selling memoirs, and other popular forms of life-writings and self-expressions carry cultural worth, then biographical elements of rising and celebrated public intellectuals, academics, critics, and activists are equally important to consider in disciplinary and interdisciplinary practices and understanding of fame. For instance, real-life first-hand accounts, such as testimonies and visual evidence, together with literary/artistic representations of gendered oppression provide meaning for progressive thinking and practice. Anecdotal accounts of famous sports personalities, actors, best-selling authors, and top models among other public figures are often useful rhetorical tools that help us to understand popular culture better. With this in mind, we need to extend popular storytelling beyond celebrity culture andpersona branding, and use it to empower social change in academia, politics, and other spheres. The Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) *Bridging Gaps* conference series, with the support of Intellect Books, uses a reflective practice paradigm and asks an urgent question: Can we learn popular strategies and re-fashion celebrity stories into tools for public intellectualism and social transformation, in addition to studying them? What enables or disables the public to tell personal stories in studies and practices of celebrity culture? Can different forms of storytelling from the lives of rising and celebrated academics, public intellectuals, critics, and activists enable urgent social change? The conference problematizes what it means to be a popular ?storyteller? and invites all academics, journalists, publicists, activists and models and guests to attend, collaborate and publish valuable and purposeful work around this key question and related topics in our conference. The format of the conference aims at being open and inclusive of interdisciplinary academic scholars and practitioners involved in all areas of celebrity culture, fandom, fashion, and journalism. The conference combines paper presentations, workshop panels, roundtables, slideshows, and interviews that aim to bridge gaps in celebrity activism, persona branding, and fashion education. Working papers, media productions, and personal stories will be considered for the conference. Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Applied Journalism and Media Studies (Intellect Books) *Registration includes*: Your printed package for the complete conference, professional development workshop, access to reception, all-day coffee, complimentary evening drink, consideration for publication, and the CMCS $100 best paper and $100 best screen awards. *Abstract Submission Guidelines*: ? 250-word abstract or workshop / roundtable / book talk proposal ?

Storytelling is central to effective branding in fame. Furthermore, the use of biographical elements has been recognized as a rhetorical device in writing op-eds, personal essays, and public speaking that often raise awareness on critical issues in popular media. Biography, as Lola Romanucci-Ross points out, is mainly a useful symbolic tool for reflecting, rotating and reversing real-life situations. Like biography, autobiography, memoirs, and testimonials play crucial roles in mapping social facts. The impacts of glamorous forms of storytelling in scandals, gossip, and rumor become so crucial that they are often studied as sociological data, regardless of whether they enable actual social change. For pop culture enthusiasts and social observers, celebrities may or may not be actual role models in telling meaningful stories and constructing subjectivity. Yet, fans and students often invest affective and intellectual labor when it comes to accepting, negotiating or contesting what appears to be significant in understandings of popular figures. Celebrity scholars are equally familiar with the complexities of engaging with and researching ?glossy topics?. As Sean Redmond (2014) has shown, acknowledging one?s own celebrity attachments can produce innovative ways of (re)writing fame. Conversely, these first-person accounts may also contribute to the celebritisation of individual academics. What is the critical and pedagogical potential of personal takes on fame within the field of celebrity studies? Celebrity narratives are perceived to have real power whether or not celebrities are ?important? people in the academic or moral sense. Drawing on current affairs, celebrity politicians have used personal claims and outrageous stories to push political agendas in divisive ways. Many other famous personas use extravagant fashion as expressions of their luxurious lives and build persona brands at the cost of ethics. For Elizabeth Wissinger, the ?glamour labor? involved in self-fashioning, surveillance, and branding is often an inevitable and unfortunate outcome in the production of consumer values and desirable bodies in fashion industries. Public personas still self-fashion themselves and promote their brand by extending text(ures) of language that sells to consumer tastes. However, the challenge remains to sell the values of social justice. Can public intellectuals learn narrative strategies from celebrity storytelling and fill this gap What appears to be a shared reason behind the success of most popular narratives, verbal (including oral) and non-verbal, is a persuasive ?strategy? to effectively tell life stories. If studying celebrity biographies / autobiographies, best-selling memoirs, and other popular forms of life-writings and self-expressions carry cultural worth, then biographical elements of rising and celebrated public intellectuals, academics, critics, and activists are equally important to consider in disciplinary and interdisciplinary practices and understanding of fame. For instance, real-life first-hand accounts, such as testimonies and visual evidence, together with literary/artistic representations of gendered oppression provide meaning for progressive thinking and practice. Anecdotal accounts of famous sports personalities, actors, best-selling authors, and top models among other public figures are often useful rhetorical tools that help us to understand popular culture better. With this in mind, we need to extend popular storytelling beyond celebrity culture andpersona branding, and use it to empower social change in academia, politics, and other spheres. The Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) *Bridging Gaps* conference series, with the support of Intellect Books, uses a reflective practice paradigm and asks an urgent question: Can we learn popular strategies and re-fashion celebrity stories into tools for public intellectualism and social transformation, in addition to studying them? What enables or disables the public to tell personal stories in studies and practices of celebrity culture? Can different forms of storytelling from the lives of rising and celebrated academics, public intellectuals, critics, and activists enable urgent social change? The conference problematizes what it means to be a popular ?storyteller? and invites all academics, journalists, publicists, activists and models and guests to attend, collaborate and publish valuable and purposeful work around this key question and related topics in our conference. The format of the conference aims at being open and inclusive of interdisciplinary academic scholars and practitioners involved in all areas of celebrity culture, fandom, fashion, and journalism. The conference combines paper presentations, workshop panels, roundtables, slideshows, and interviews that aim to bridge gaps in celebrity activism, persona branding, and fashion education. Working papers, media productions, and personal stories will be considered for the conference. Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Applied Journalism and Media Studies (Intellect Books) *Registration includes*: Your printed package for the complete conference, professional development workshop, access to reception, all-day coffee, complimentary evening drink, consideration for publication, and the CMCS $100 best paper and $100 best screen awards. *Abstract Submission Guidelines*: ? 250-word abstract or workshop / roundtable proposal ?

Plus sp?cifiquement, ce num?ro entend interroger les cons?quences de ces dispositifs d?automatisation de la production, de la circulation et de la consommation des donn?es sur les modalit?s de reproduction soci?tale. Dans le champ des th?ories critiques, un certain nombre de travaux contemporains font ?tat de la mise en place d?une nouvelle logique de r?gulation soci?tale apolitique, a-normative et op?rationnelle (Freitag, 2013) qui s?instituerait avec la num?risation g?n?ralis?e des soci?t?s. Ces nouvelles mani?res de r?guler la pratique sociale au moyen d?algorithmes sont tant?t nomm?es ? gouvernementalit? algorithmique ? (Rouvroy et Berns, 2013) ou encore ? soci?t? automatique ? (Stiegler, 2015). Ces travaux soutiennent notamment que l?utilisation des donn?es massives ? des fins de personnalisation, de microciblage ou d?optimisation des processus de prise de d?cision par gestion pr?dictive au moyen d?algorithmes ou par l?apprentissage machine, participerait d?une mutation des soci?t?s qui marquerait une rupture avec les id?aux sur lesquels s??taient ?difi?es les soci?t?s modernes. On reconna?t g?n?ralement que la modernit? s?est institu?e ? partir d?un ensemble de m?diations sociales permettant aux soci?t?s de penser r?flexivement leurs pratiques. Les soci?t?s modernes reposent notamment sur des m?diations symboliques et culturelles orientant significativement la pratique sociale au sein d?un monde commun (Freitag, 2011). Elles se caract?risent ?galement par la mise en place de m?diations politico-institutionnelles permettant aux soci?t?s de se donner r?flexivement des finalit?s collectives qui se l?gitiment au moyen d?une d?lib?ration rationnelle au sein d?un espace public politique (Habermas, 1993). Qu?advient-il lorsque ces m?diations sont court-circuit?es ou encore remplac?es par des proc?dures automatis?es de prises de d?cision fonctionnant au moyen d?algorithmes auto-apprenants? S?agit-il d?une rupture avec un certain id?al que s?est donn? le monde moderne ou encore d?une radicalisation de certaines de ces dimensions constitutives ? Les ?tudes critiques en communication sont bien plac?es pour analyser ces processus puisque les dispositifs de Big data et d?intelligence artificielle reposent sur une id?ologie de la communication (Breton et Proulx, 2002), laquelle poss?de comme sp?cificit? de se pr?senter comme l?expression imm?diate du r?el (Sfez, 1992). Selon cette logique, qui tire ses origines de la cybern?tique, les soci?t?s n?auraient plus besoin de passer par des m?diations symboliques et politiques pour permettre leur reproduction (Lafontaine, 2004). Cette r?flexion appara?t d?autant plus n?cessaire que les discours promotionnels tenus ? la fois par les puissances ?conomiques et politiques entourant la num?risation des soci?t?s soutiennent que la mise en place de m?canismes de r?gulation sociale non coercitifs et efficients au moyen d?algorithmes auto-apprenants serait en mesure de prendre des d?cisions de mani?re automatis?e et hautement rationnalis?e en ?vacuant la subjectivit? humaine (Cukier et Viktor Mayer-Sch?nberger, 2013), et ce, dans l?ensemble des sph?res de la pratique sociale : villes intelligentes (Kitchin, 2015), sant? (Swan, 2009), ?conomie (Brynjolfsson et McAfee, 2014), s?curit? (Amoore, 2013), finance (Arnoldi, 2016; Pasquale, 2015), m?dias (Anderson, 2011), politique (Harsin, 2015), etc. Pourtant, alors que ces logiques algorithmiques ont la pr?tention d??vacuer la part de subjectivit? inh?rente ? toute dynamique de r?gulation sociale, la notion de ? social ? semble paradoxalement omnipr?sente ? l??re num?rique (m?dias sociaux, social analytics, innovation sociale, etc.) (Davies, 2015). Dans ce contexte, la plupart des travaux dans le domaine des ?tudes en science, technologie et soci?t? (STS Studies) qui d?construisent la bo?te noire des algorithmes visent ? remettre en question la s?paration entre la sph?re de la technique et la sph?re du social en montrant que l?adoption d?un type de technologie particulier d?coule de choix sociaux. Comme le soutient Feenberg, si les approches constructivistes dominantes dans le champ de la sociologie de la technique ? notamment la th?orie de l?acteur-r?seaux (Callon, Law, Rip, 1986; Latour, 1991) ? d?-r?ifient les dispositifs technologiques et remettent en question les postulats du d?terminisme technologique, ? elles refusent de s?affronter aux grands enjeux g?n?raux de la modernit? qu?avait soulev?s l??cole de Francfort ? (Feenberg, 2004 :9). Ces approches ne s?int?ressent g?n?ralement qu?? des cas particuliers et n?interrogent pas les cons?quences sociales des choix technologiques en termes de rapports de pouvoir et de domination globaux (Winner, 1993). Pourtant, une des vis?es de toute th?orie critique est de saisir dialectiquement comment des ph?nom?nes techniques, culturels et socio-politiques particuliers s?inscrivent dans une totalit? soci?tale (Fischbach, 2009). Force est de constater que les sciences humaines et sociales auraient int?r?t ? saisir ces enjeux ? partir d?une d?marche s?inspirant des th?ories critiques de la technique (notamment Marx, Ellul, Mumford, Innis, Foucault, Marcuse, Habermas, Heidegger, etc?) afin de comprendre les cons?quences au plan social-historique des nouvelles formes de r?gulation soci?tales induites par les donn?es massives, l'intelligence artificielle et les algorithmes. Ce num?ro de tic&soci?t? entend donc poursuivre cette r?flexion globale portant sur le r?le des nouvelles logiques algorithmiques dans l?analyse des transformations des diverses m?diations qui participent ? la reproduction des soci?t?s. Cette r?flexion peut ?tre abord?e ? partir des cinq principales dimensions suivantes : 1. ?pist?mologique : Alors que la science moderne se caract?risait par une vis?e de connaissance r?flexive de la r?alit? fond?e sur un id?al de v?rit?, dans la (techno)science postmoderne, qui est travers?e par une logique de marchandisation et la num?risation de la connaissance (Lyotard, 1979 ; Stiegler, 2012), le nouveau crit?re de validation du savoir ne serait plus la Raison, mais plut?t la performativit?. Dans ce contexte, les nouveaux outils de traitement des donn?es massives ont la pr?tention de saisir imm?diatement le r?el sans passer par les th?ories scientifiques (Anderson, 2008). Quelles sont les cons?quences sociales de cette transformation ?pist?mologique ? Comment r?activer les conditions de possibilit? de la critique sociale, dans la mesure o? ces dispositifs ont la pr?tention de produire des normes qui seraient l?expression imm?diate du r?el ? Assistons-nous ? une crise des r?gimes de v?rit? (Rouvroy et Stiegler, 2015) ou entrons-nous plut?t dans un nouveau r?gime de post-v?rit? (Harsin, 2015) ? 2. Juridico-politique : La mise en place de proc?dures automatis?es de r?gulation sociale s?inscrit dans le passage de l?id?e moderne de gouvernement vers ce qu?Alain Supiot (2015) a nomm? une gouvernance par les nombres et Rouvroy et Berns (2013) une ? gouvernementalit? algorithmique ?. Comment penser la praxis politique dans le contexte o? ces dispositifs visent ? contourner la capacit? des peuples ? institutionnaliser leurs finalit?s normatives sous la forme de la Loi ? Sommes-nous en train de passer d?un ?tat de droit ? un ?tat de fait ? 3. M?diatique : De plus en plus, les discours politiques au sein des m?dias socionum?riques sont automatis?s, tant sur le plan de la production que de la distribution et de la consommation. Le microciblage des comportements individuels semble ?loigner les citoyens des valeurs collectives (le cas de Cambridge Analytica) et confine les sujets dans leur dynamique de personnalisation (echo chamber) (Jacobson, Myung et Johnson, 2016). De plus, l?espace public ? num?rique ? doit d?sormais composer avec la prolif?ration d?opinions, rumeurs et fausses nouvelles, sans compter les ing?rences inter?tatiques (Shorey & Howard, 2016). Quelles sont les cons?quences de ces diverses manifestations que prend la gouvernementalit? algorithmique sur l?espace public ? 4. ?conomique : Quelles sont les cons?quences de la mise en place de la logique algorithmique dans les transformations du capitalisme contemporain (Mosco, 2014 ; Ouellet, 2016 ; Srnicek, 2018) ? Si le travail est constitutif du capitalisme en ce qu?il s?agit de la m?diation ? partir de laquelle est produite la dynamique de valorisation du capital, en quoi l?extension de l?automatisation du travail manuel au travail intellectuel et l?apparition de nouvelles formes d?exploitation du travail num?rique (Cardon et Cassilli, 2015) affectent-elles la capacit? du syst?me capitaliste ? se reproduire (McChesney et Nichols, 2016; Stiegler, 2015) ? En quoi ces dynamiques modifient-elles le conflit historique opposant le travail au capital (Dyer-Whiteford, 2015) ? 5. Culturel-symbolique : En quoi les logiques d?automatisation et d?industrialisation des m?diations symboliques (Mondoux et M?nard, 2018) sous la forme de syst?mes de recommandation permettant la personnalisation des offres de contenu culturel et m?diatique transforment-elles la capacit? des soci?t?s ? produire une culture commune ? Comment les transformations culturelles induites par ces s?miotiques machiniques/a-signifiantes (Lazzarato, 2006) affectent-elles les modalit?s g?n?rales de reproduction soci?tale ?

En vous remerciant de votre attention Best Wishes ?ric GEORGE -------------------------------------------- vendredi 22 f?vrier de 9h30 ? 12h30 au J-2625 (Pavillon Judith-Jasmin de l?UQAM). Dans le cadre des s?ances des 25 janvier et 22 f?vrier 2019, le s?minaire de l'Axe 4 du CRICIS en ?pist?mologies critiques de la culture et de la communication a pour objectif d?interroger ce que nous entendons par le terme ? critique ? dans le cadre de nos propres travaux. Autrement dit, quel est la dimension critique de notre propos ? Quatre coll?gues se sont pos?s cette question en partant de leurs propres recherches. Nous pourrons constater dans quelle mesure leurs d?finitions de ce qu?est la critique sont plus ou moins proches, plus ou moins convergentes. Conf?rencier-es invit?-es : o Christophe Magis, ma?tre de conf?rences, Sciences de l?information et de la communication, Universit? de Paris 8, chercheur CEMTI o Caroline Caron, professeure en sciences sociales ? l'Universit? du Qu?bec en Outaouais (UQO), chercheure CRICIS Ce s?minaire est organis? par l'axe 4 du CRICIS, ?pist?mologies critiques de la culture et de la communication. Ce s?minaire est gratuit et ouvert ? toutes et tous! Christophe Magis - Penser la th?orie des industries culturelles comme approche critique en communication La "Th?orie des industries culturelles" (ThIC) est une tradition de recherche reconnue unanimement en France et au Qu?bec comme approche critique en communication. Branche sp?cifique de l'approche dite "?conomie politique de la communication", elle tend, en effet, dans le monde francophone, ? y repr?senter celle-ci dans son ensemble ? tout en souffrant d'un manque v?ritable de visibilit? en-dehors. Pourtant, les rapports de cette tradition avec l'h?ritage des th?ories critiques (mat?rialisme marxien ou ?cole de Francfort, par exemple) sont loin d'?tre ?vidents, tout comme ses liens avec d'autres pans de l'?conomie politique de la communication internationale. Il s'agira, pour cette pr?sentation, d'examiner les sp?cificit?s de la tradition, ses contextes d'?mergence et ses propositions m?thodologiques afin de questionner la place de la ThIC au sein des approches critiques en communication ? et au-del?, d'interroger ce qui fait la particularit? d'une approche critique notamment dans le champ de la culture et de la communication. Lectures sugg?r?es George (?ric), "La th?orie des industries culturelles : un ? milieu ? d??laboration de connaissances dynamique", Canadian Journal of Communication, vol. 39, 2014, p. 1-17. https://www.cjc-online.ca/index.php/journal/article/download/2848/2422 Magis (Christophe), "?conomie politique de la communication et Th?orie critique des m?dias. ?pist?mologie d'un h?ritage th?orique critique", R?seaux, vol. 34, n?199, 2016 p. 43-70. https://www.cairn.info/revue-reseaux-2016-5-page-43.htm Notice biographique Ma?tre de conf?rences en sciences de l?information et de la communication ? l?Universit? Paris 8 (France), Christophe Magis est chercheur au Centre d??tudes sur les M?dias, les Technologies et l?Internationalisation (Cemti). S?inscrivant dans une approche articulant ?conomie politique de la communication et Th?orie critique de l??cole de Francfort, ses recherches portent sur les mutations des industries de la culture et de la communication ainsi que sur l??pist?mologie des sciences sociales et de la critique ? notamment ? l?heure des ? Humanit?s num?riques ?. Il est co-directeur avec Fabien Granjon et Jacques Guyot de l?ouvrage Mat?rialismes, culture et communication, t. 3 ?conomie politique de la culture, des m?dias et de la communication (? para?tre aux Presses des Mines, 2019). Caroline Caron - Explorer le potentiel du paradigme critique de la recherche qualitative : l?exemple des ?tudes sur le m?diactivisme dans le Web social R?sum? Plut?t que de d?finir des crit?res normatifs qui devraient distinguer les recherches critiques des recherches acritiques, cette pr?sentation veut interroger : que peut accomplir une posture de recherche critique, et comment le peut-elle? L?originalit? de la pr?sentation r?side dans l?angle de traitement m?thodologique ? partir duquel ce questionnement sera examin?, pla?ant ainsi au centre de la discussion une r?flexion critique sur le ? comment ? de la production des savoirs et des ressorts id?ologiques sous-jacents. Posant la pr?misse que le paradigme critique de la recherche qualitative offre un terrain fertile ? la rencontre des ? approches critiques ? et des ? approches inductives ? (Caron, 2017), la pr?sentation illustrera le potentiel de ce positionnement paradigmatique pour g?n?rer des pistes d?investigation et des analyses, tant th?oriques qu?empiriques, susceptibles de contribuer ? l?avancement des connaissances. Le champ d??tudes centr? sur le m?diactivisme en ligne servira de point de r?f?rence pour illustrer le propos et pour insister sur la n?cessit? de surmonter l?antagonisme entre dystopie technophobe et euphorie technophile afin de mieux rendre compte des complexit?s sociologiques d?un ph?nom?ne dynamique et pluriel.

There are millions of references to the commons in a very wide range of literatures, from the academic, social activist, to the UN-and other multilateral institutions, think tanks, and popular literatures. However, in most, the idea of the commons is rather vague, a stand-in for public resources that avoids any references to specific collectivities of people, places, political economies and systems of power, and/or the historical and conflict-ridden origins of the commons at the dawn of the capitalist era in Northern Europe. The record within communications, media and cultural studies is much better. Here, the commons, and related concepts of commoners and enclosure, have been taken up by a smaller but significant number of researchers, who have, for the most part, theorized about the historical and contemporary commons or ?the common? as an alternative to capitalist productive and social relations. Researchers have studied the collective management, production processes and forms of cooperative social organization in a number of artistic, media activist and designer communities, and especially with regards to digital software and hardware, and the operation and governance of information and of media platforms. A similar framework has been used in studies of the cultural and communications practices of social change movements that have actively worked against the privatization and ?enclosure? of public goods or other commons-based resources and of the exploitation of labour (i.e., the Landless Workers? Movement in Brazil, the Zapatista movement in Mexico, Ecuadorian indigenous movements and the Chilean student movement). Linking these studies has been a theorization of the commons as sites of emergent value systems in which a new subjectivity, characterized by mutual aid, care, trust, and conviviality, may be reproduced over time through ?commoning? activities. This special issue calls for a re-evaluation of the communication commons, especially given the major changes in geopolitics and global communications economies, ecologies and cultures. To do so, articles will examine the history of the communications commons, and interrogate its contemporary applicability and relevance. ? In what ways and how do communications commons constitute a new political, social and cultural project? ? How effectively, for example, have communications commons been able to negotiate their relationship with the state and the capitalist market, and with what consequences? ? How is the concept utilized in different world regions, cultural traditions and languages? ? How are communications commons changing, given the new generations or communities of practice, and especially the increasingly precarious conditions of work and life? ? How do commons negotiate intersectional differences of economic, social, technological and cultural power? ? In what ways can commons-based projects be used to inform novel ways of collectively organizing productive activity? The submission deadline is June 15, 2019. Article length should be 7,000 words, all-inclusive.

Universit? Sainte-Anne (Nouvelle-?cosse) *https://lescarnetsnordsud.blog/2018/10/12/les-medias-francophones-sous-toutes-leurs-coutures-2 * Supports traditionnels de la sph?re publique, la presse et les m?dias op?rent dans un environnement en constante mutation. C?est autour de cette probl?matique que le R?seau de la recherche sur la francophonie canadienne (RRF), avec l?appui du Secr?tariat national de l?Association des coll?ges et universit?s de la francophonie canadienne (ACUFC), organise un colloque mettant ? l?honneur les communaut?s francophones nord-am?ricaines. Par ce colloque, nous souhaitons stimuler la r?flexion et le dialogue sur des enjeux de soci?t? qui sont intimement li?s aux comportements individuels. Alors que les habitudes de consommation de l?information ?voluent de fa?on radicale, le d?veloppement des nouvelles technologies de l?information et de la communication (NTIC) ouvre des possibilit?s in?dites. Or les m?dias sont d?une importance particuli?re pour les francophonies minoritaires, pour qui ils ont toujours repr?sent? un puissant outil de combat politique (Eddie, 2018). Leur devenir constitue donc un enjeu de taille, non seulement en raison de la transition num?rique, mais aussi des questions de sous-financement, de mont?e du populisme et d?autres facteurs qu?il s?agira d?explorer. Les interventions pourront prendre la forme de communications, de tables rondes ou encore d?ateliers destin?s au public. Nous voulons rassembler une grande vari?t? de participant?e?s : chercheur?e?s universitaires, actrices et acteurs communautaires, professionnel?le?s des m?dias et t?l?communications, repr?sentant?e?s gouvernementaux, ?ducatrices et ?ducateurs, etc. Voici certaines th?matiques qui peuvent ?tre abord?es : - les m?dias communautaires dans le paysage m?diatique actuel ; leur place vis-?-vis des m?dias d??tat (ICI Radio-Canada, etc.) et du secteur priv? - la transition num?rique : mod?les viables d?int?gration des m?dias traditionnels et des nouvelles plateformes - ?volution de la sph?re publique : histoire des m?dias francophones, leur r?le dans les d?bats collectifs - les m?dias comme reflet des communaut?s ; leur importance en tant qu?archives de la m?moire collective - enjeux ?ducatifs et s?curitaires en milieu scolaire et de la petite enfance ; jeunesse et litt?ratie m?diatique ; enjeux pour la sant? des enfants, des adolescents et des adultes - l?avenir des m?tiers du journalisme ; formation d?une rel?ve journalistique - impact des m?dias traditionnels et des m?dias sociaux et autres NTIC sur les pratiques linguistiques, la coh?sion communautaire, la capacit? de mobilisation, etc. - responsabilit?s de l??tat vis-?-vis des m?dias francophones : gouvernance communautaire et encadrement selon la Loi sur les langues officielles Instructions pour le d?p?t des propositions Les propositions doivent ?tre envoy?es ? l?adresse echevaucherie@acufc.ca au plus tard le 1er mars 2019. Les propositions doivent inclure : - le type de proposition, soit : une communication, un atelier ou une table ronde; - les coordonn?es de l?auteure : nom, pr?nom, fonction, ?tablissement ou organisation et adresse ?lectronique; - une courte biographie de l?auteure; - un r?sum? de la proposition ? maximum 1 500 caract?res (espaces compris). Le Comit? organisateur pourrait obtenir des subventions permettant de rembourser les frais de d?placement des ?tudiant?e?s et des repr?sentant?e?s communautaires. Il est possible ?galement que nous remboursions une partie des frais de d?placement des professeur?e?s.

Children were considered to be more malleable than their adult counterparts, meaning that colonial regimes considered it possible to ?take the Indian out of the child?, or to ?breed the color out of aboriginals? or to transform Indigenous children up to the points at which they could make themselves useful as local intermediaries between the coloniser and colonised. Thus, Indigenous children have often figured as both targets and tools of Western civilising projects, as a tentative solution to the perennial problem of how to govern vast nations by means of a relatively small number of colonial administrators who, moreover, often lacked in-depth knowledge of the languages and cultures of the nations they were supposed to rule. As Karen S?nchez-Eppler has argued convincingly in Dependent States, colonial strategies for governing the peripheries of empire and pedagogical regimes for raising metropolitan children were interdependent. Empires were ?raised like children? and children were ?civilized like savages.? Children?s literature and affiliated media such as textbooks played a pivotal role in instituting, forgetting, and remembering the systematic instrumentalisation of Indigenous children in (post-)colonial contexts. For instance, educative discourses bent on piquing metropolitan children?s interest in the colonies in order to recruit the next generation of colonial administrators, missionaries, and entrepreneurs. After decolonisation, these discourses were complicit in creating a silence around the colonial past. At the same time, however, these discourses and texts also preserved the past and eventually contributed to the disruption of the silence about the ?stolen generations,? ?lost birds,? deracin?s. This special issue aims to analyse how children?s literature and affiliated media instituted, silenced, and remembered forcible child removal from an international comparative perspective, including but also moving beyond the conventional focus on the former British Commonwealth. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following issues: ? How was the relocation and re-education of Indigenous children ?sold? to metropolitan children? ? What versions of ?family? and ?family values? are propagated by children?s media that targets Indigenous children at the peripheries of empire? ? How did children?s literature and textbooks respond to decolonisation? ? Have exotic colonial themes, settings, and plot structures vanished from children?s media? If so, when did this occur? ? When do efforts to re-present and remember child removal through children?s media gain ascendancy over silence and oblivion? How does children?s fiction relate to historiography in this respect? ? Can the responses and resistances of Indigenous children to their removals and relocations from family homes be disinterred from the silences of history? What work has been done and what work remains to be done to ensure that their voices are heard? ? Is the question of the ?decolonisation of childhood? still topical? How do contemporary forms of neo-colonialism, post-colonialism, and anti-colonialism impact on the cultural construction of childhood as articulated by children?s media? We particularly welcome transnational comparative approaches.

Some call it the 4th industrial revolution (Brinded, 2016; Kaplan, 2015). Robots, AI, and algorithms have grown from their early uptake in some industries (such as robots in manufacturing) to an accelerating presence in other spheres ranging from customer service roles (for example, reception, check-outs, food service, driving) to professional and creative roles previously unheard-of and un-thought-of (for example, expert legal and medical systems, automated journalism, musical and artistic production (Kaplan, 2016; Ramalho, 2017; Hirsch, 2017)). The World Economic Forum warns that ?this will lead to a net loss of over 5 million jobs in 15 major developed and emerging economies by 2020? (Brinded, 2016), a serious challenge to ethical labour practices, and potential looming crisis leading some to consider alternative societal models?such as Universal Basic Income (Frase, 2016), or a robot tax (Walker, 2017)?to compensate. Meanwhile, there is marked evidence that robots, AI, biotechnology, and algorithms are becoming in general and over-top of employment roles more integrated in human societies. Human-machine communication (HMC) has moved from an important yet somewhat-marginal field to lodge itself at the centre of societal workings and visions for the future. From autonomous vehicles (Bowles, 2016), to the algorithmic filtering of search results (Noble, 2018) and social media content (Gillespie, 2018), from online harassment and political boosterism via bots (Dewey, 2016; Woolley, Shorey, & Howard, 2018), to sex robots (Levy, 2007; Danaher & MacArthur, 2017), from ubiquitous AI assistants in our homes and smart devices (Guzman, 2019), to wearable tech that tracks and shares our biometric data (Forlano, 2019) and/or extends our biological capacities (Brooks, 2003; Jones, 2019), such technologies are rapidly mapping themselves onto almost every conceivable realm of human experience. And yet, there is mounting evidence that the creation and programming of robots, AI, and algorithms, being artifacts of human culture, do not escape that context, sometimes carrying into their computational logics, platforms and/or embodiments stereotypes, biases, exclusions, and other forms of privilege. One can think of True Companion?s Roxxxy sex robots that some argue have personality types based on racist and sexist stereotypes of womenhood, for example the Barely-18 ?Young Yoko? and resistant ?Frigid Farah? that, as Gildea and Richardson (2017) note, seem to fetishize underage girls and sexual assault. Or you could think of the abandoned Amazon HR algorithm which, after being fed years of resumes and hiring decisions, used computational logic to identify traits that that were historically associated with Amazon hiring decisions, with the view of automating part of the hiring process, and encoded a preexisting sexism from the HR data that showed that applicants with work experience or activities that included the word ?Women?s,? or who were educated at all-women colleges, were often not hired (Jones, 2018). Finally, one could contemplate how polities using data aggregation and predictive algorithms to manage and make decisions about social programs, resource allocation, or policing can end up targeting and profiling poor or racialized populations, with occasionally terrifying results?such as any mistake on an online application being interpreted by an automated system as ?failure to cooperate? (Eubanks, 2017). This edited collection will draw an analytical circle around these interconnected and adjacent issues, lending a critical eye to what is at stake due to the automation of aspects of culture. How do equity issues intersect with these fields? Are the pronouncements always already dire, or are there also lines of flight towards more equitable futures in which agentic artefacts and extensions can play an active part? Chapters may address one or multiple equity issues, and submissions that address emergent intersections between them will be given special consideration. Proposed chapters may address topics such as, but not limited to: ? Algorithmic classism, ableism, racism, and sexism, including issues surrounding content moderation on social media (e.g., Gillespie, 2018), redlining/weblining (e.g., Eubanks, 2017), business (e.g., Jones, 2018), big data (e.g., Ferguson, 2017), or military practices such Google?s controversial Project Maven (e.g., Holt, 2018). Algorithm use to address the same issues. ? Issues around robotic labour and poverty, Universal Basic Income, robotic utopia/dystopias (e.g., Frase, 2016, Kaplan, 2016). ? Issues around the use of deadly autonomous or semi-autonomous robots by the military or non-state actors, such as work surrounding the Campaign Against Killer Robots (e.g., Anderson & Waxman, 2012; Crootof, 2015; Gregory, 2011; Karppi, Bolen, & Granata, 2016). ? Issues surrounding sex-robotics, teledildonics, VR, and AI sexuality, including stereotypical, and sexist sex robotic ?personalities? and embodiments (e.g., Gildea & Richardson, 2017); sex robots based on real people without consent (e.g., Gee, 2017); The Campaign Against Sex Robots (e.g., Richardson, 2015; Danaher, Earp, & Sandberg, 2017); teledildonic / VR steam hacking and consent (e.g., Rambukkana & Gautier, 2017; Belamire, 2016); the interplay between robotic brothels and sex worker rights and protests (e.g., Morrish, 2017; Trayner, 2017; Danaher, Earp, & Sandberg, 2017); bots masquerading as real people on dating sites (e.g., Light, 2016; Karppi, 2018); deepfakes and pornography (e.g., Maras & Alexandrou, 2018). Progressive steps to address such issues or to create new sexual futures. ? The politics and ethics of the singularity (e.g., Korb & Nicholson, 2012) and the future status of robotic and AI workers with respect to labour, citizenship, and human rights?for example, work on Hansen Robotics? Sophia as Saudi citizen (e.g., Weller, 2017), robotic servitude (e.g., Green, 2016), as well as the rights of humans interacting with AI (e.g., Shepherd, 2019). ? Assumptions, representations, and discourse surrounding dis/ability and human augmentics, including ?supercrip? and ?cyborg? discourses and the potential tensions between feminist technoscience (e.g., Haraway, 1990) and critical disability studies (e.g., Allan, 2016; Cascais, 2013). ? How any of these or other issues are depicted in popular or fringe fictions that contain robotic or AI characters (for example, Humans, Neuromancer, Extant, Westworld, Her, Blade Runner, Ex Machina, Ghost in the Shell, Altered Carbon, Black Mirror, Speak, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Questionable Content, etc.) My goal is to assemble a collection of exemplary abstracts and then approach some top-tier academic publishers with relevant series. If interested, please send a 750-word abstract, collection of keywords, and a 150-word bio to the editor, Dr. Nathan Rambukkana (n_rambukkana@complexsingularities.net), by 1 April 2019. Drafts will be due 1 October 2019 and final versions 1 April 2020. Please also email Nathan at the above address if you have any questions and feel free to repost this CFP to your networks.

Image courtesy of the artist www.heatherbarnett.co.uk @HeatherABarnett The slime mould (Physarum polycephalum) is a bright yellow amoeba that possesses primitive intelligence, problem solving skills and memory. It is highly efficient at forming networks between given points and has been used to map the worlds? transport networks, migration routes and desire paths. Most notably, in 2010 it accurately replicated the Tokyo suburban rail network. The slime mould is also quite beautiful, the branching patterns reminiscent of forms seen at varying scales within nature, from blood vessels to tree branches, from river deltas to lightning flashes. It can learn about its environment, remember where it?s been and navigate through complex territories ? all without any sensory organs and not a single neuron to its name.

It reveals the growth of data journalism as a subspecialty, cultivated and sustained by an increasing number of professional identities, tools and technologies, educational opportunities and new forms of collaboration and computational thinking. The authors base their analysis on five years of in-depth field research, largely in Canada, an example of a mature media system. The book identifies how data journalism?s development is partly due to it being at the center of multiple crises and shocks to journalism, including digitalization, acute mis- and dis-information concerns and increasingly participatory audiences. It highlights how data journalists, particularly in well-resourced newsrooms, are able to address issues of trust and credibility to advance their professional interests. These journalists are operating as institutional entrepreneurs in a field still responding to the disruption effects of digitalization more than 20 years ago. By exploring the ways in which data journalists are strategically working to modernize the way journalists talk about methods and maintain journalism authority, "Data Journalism and the Regeneration of News" introduces an important new dimension to the study of digital journalism for researchers, students and educators. Authors? bios: Alfred Hermida, PhD, is an award-winning author, media scholar and digital news pioneer. A journalism professor at the University of British Columbia, co-founder and board member of The Conversation Canada, and formerly a BBC journalist, his research explores media innovation, social media and data journalism.

While searching for the answer to this and other questions around Nature and its variations, we find what we are and how we stand among all organisms and in the world. Charles Darwin offered the world a simple scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth: evolution by natural selection. Countless scientists have found that Darwin?s work is fundamental to their own. Contemporary scientists can now answer questions about the natural world in ways Darwin never could. New tools and technologies, such as DNA analyses, can reveal unexpected relationships between seemingly dissimilar groups. This event consists of an exhibition (part of FACTT-TO) and a panel discussion. Together, they interrogate the meaning, the relevance and the implications of evolution from different vantage points, including perspectives from a range of scientific disciplines, technological approaches, and artistic practices. We wish to reflect on the condition of co-habitation and co-existence of human and non-humans in this world (and beyond?) and pose questions about transformation; forced or elective mutation and survival; agency and decision making; conservation and intervention.

Discounted subscription options are below. Call* for Papers: * In the recent past, there has been an increased interest in exploring intersections of life writing and studies of celebrity culture. Storytelling is central to effective branding in fame. Furthermore, the use of biographical elements has been recognized as a rhetorical device in writing op-eds, personal essays, and public speaking that often raise awareness on critical issues in popular media. Biography, as Lola Romanucci-Ross points out, is mainly a useful symbolic tool for reflecting, rotating and reversing real-life situations. Like biography, autobiography, memoirs, and testimonials play crucial roles in mapping social facts. The impacts of glamorous forms of storytelling in scandals, gossip, and rumor become so crucial that they are often studied as sociological data, regardless of whether they enable actual social change. For pop culture enthusiasts and social observers, celebrities may or may not be actual role models in telling meaningful stories and constructing subjectivity. Yet, fans and students often invest affective and intellectual labor when it comes to accepting, negotiating or contesting what appears to be significant in understandings of popular figures. Celebrity scholars are equally familiar with the complexities of engaging with and researching ?glossy topics?. As Sean Redmond (2014) has shown, acknowledging one?s own celebrity attachments can produce innovative ways of (re)writing fame. Conversely, these first-person accounts may also contribute to the celebritisation of individual academics. What is the critical and pedagogical potential of personal takes on fame within the field of celebrity studies? Celebrity narratives are perceived to have real power whether or not celebrities are ?important? people in the academic or moral sense. Drawing on current affairs, celebrity politicians have used personal claims and outrageous stories to push political agendas in divisive ways. Many other famous personas use extravagant fashion as expressions of their luxurious lives and build persona brands at the cost of ethics. For Elizabeth Wissinger, the ?glamour labor? involved in self-fashioning, surveillance, and branding is often an inevitable and unfortunate outcome in the production of consumer values and desirable bodies in fashion industries. Public personas still self-fashion themselves and promote their brand by extending text(ures) of language that sells to consumer tastes. However, the challenge remains to sell the values of social justice. Can public intellectuals learn narrative strategies from celebrity storytelling and fill this gap What appears to be a shared reason behind the success of most popular narratives, verbal (including oral) and non-verbal, is a persuasive ?strategy? to effectively tell life stories. If studying celebrity biographies / autobiographies, best-selling memoirs, and other popular forms of life-writings and self-expressions carry cultural worth, then biographical elements of rising and celebrated public intellectuals, academics, critics, and activists are equally important to consider in disciplinary and interdisciplinary practices and understanding of fame. For instance, real-life first-hand accounts, such as testimonies and visual evidence, together with literary/artistic representations of gendered oppression provide meaning for progressive thinking and practice. Anecdotal accounts of famous sports personalities, actors, best-selling authors, and top models among other public figures are often useful rhetorical tools that help us to understand popular culture better. With this in mind, we need to extend popular storytelling beyond celebrity culture and persona branding, and use it to empower social change in academia, politics, and other spheres. The Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) *Bridging Gaps* conference series, with the support of Intellect Books, uses a reflective practice paradigm and asks an urgent question: Can we learn popular strategies and re-fashion celebrity stories into tools for public intellectualism and social transformation, in addition to studying them? What enables or disables the public to tell personal stories in studies and practices of celebrity culture? Can different forms of storytelling from the lives of rising and celebrated academics, public intellectuals, critics, and activists enable urgent social change? The conference problematizes what it means to be a popular ?storyteller? and invites all academics, journalists, publicists, activists and models and guests to attend, collaborate and publish valuable and purposeful work around this key question and related topics in our conference. The format of the conference aims at being open and inclusive of interdisciplinary academic scholars and practitioners involved in all areas of celebrity culture, fandom, fashion, and journalism. The conference combines paper presentations, workshop panels, roundtables, slideshows, and interviews that aim to bridge gaps in celebrity activism, persona branding, and fashion education. Working papers, media productions, and personal stories will be considered for the conference. Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Applied Journalism and Media Studies (Intellect Books) *Registration **includes*: Your printed package for the complete conference, professional development workshop, access to reception, all-day coffee, complimentary evening drink, consideration for publication, and the CMCS $100 best paper and $100 best screen awards.

The division gives awards to recognize the top three submissions from faculty, and the top three submissions from graduate students (faculty members cannot be included on student competition papers). Top graduate papers also receive monetary awards to help offset the cost of attending the conference, and there are no division membership fees for graduate students. Paper Topics: As a division, we are proud to encourage submissions from a diverse array of topic areas. Some examples of relevant topic areas include, but are not limited to: analysis of economic or managerial questions affecting media firms and media industries; strategic management aspects and business models of media firms, crowdfunding and other innovative funding methods for media products and industries; strategic leadership challenges faced by media companies; media ownership; management and economic issues from the public-interest perspective (e.g., effects on reporting or content); historical discussions of relevant developments in the field; policy issues from a legal, regulatory, or economic perspective; technology and its effects on management or economics; political economy; international and cross-cultural studies; the sociology and culture of media organizations; media audience analysis; teaching media management and economics; and other related topics. In 2014 the division changed its name to expand its focus on entrepreneurship. Accordingly, we also encourage and welcome submissions within the following topic areas: opportunities and challenges for media startups; intrapreneurship and innovation within legacy media companies; the role of higher education in the context of media entrepreneurship; and other media entrepreneurship related topics.
