Each of the films explores expanded cinema through different ecologies of the non-human: the forest, lichen, snails, water, and sky. Proposing different worlds of experience and distinct grammars of immersion through a meeting with the camera, the films imagine common worlds by reflecting upon the exigencies of intercultural and interspecies communication, a task that has taken on great urgency in the 21st century as we grapple with how to adapt to the ecological realities brought about by anthropogenic climate change. The updated program includes a new sound mix of Michael Snow?s final film, Cityscape. The screening is curated by Janine Marchessault (York University) and presented by Concordia University?s Thinking Allowed project. Thursday, October 19th 2023 @ the IMAX Telus Theatre, Montreal Science Centre 2 De la Commune St W, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 2E2 Doors: 18:30h Screening: 19h Runtime: 50mins, followed by Q&A with artists (Oliver Husain, Mani Mazinani [Snow?s collaborator and representative], and Leila Sujir) Tickets ($10): https://outer-worlds-imax.eventbrite.ca To find out more about the films, visit: www.xlouterworlds.ca Prior to the screening, the Thinking Allowed project presents a day of panel talks about IMAX and immersive screen experience at 4th Space, featuring scholars, curators and artists. The Outer Worlds artists (along with Kelly Richardson via Zoom) will be talking about their work and experiences of working with IMAX on a panel at 15:00h. These talks are free and open to the public.

Outer Worlds est un programme extraordinaire qui pr?sente cinq films IMAX exp?rimentaux r?alis?s par des artistes canadien.nes de premier plan : Oliver Husain, Lisa Jackson, Kelly Richardson, Michael Snow et Leila Sujir. Chacun de ces films explore le cin?ma ?largi ? travers diff?rentes ?cologies du non-humain : la for?t, le lichen, les escargots, l'eau et le ciel. Proposant diff?rents mondes d'exp?rience et des grammaires distinctes d'immersion ? travers une rencontre avec la cam?ra, les films imaginent des mondes communs en r?fl?chissant aux exigences de la communication interculturelle et inter-esp?ces, t?che devenue urgente au 21e si?cle alors que nous devons nous adapter aux nouvelles r?alit?s ?cologiques provoqu?es. Ce programme comprend un nouveau mixage sonore de Cityscape, le dernier film de Michael Snow.

The deadline is October 6 (this Friday). Robin and I thank you for considering this project, as we know there is lots out there vying for your labour and time. And for those who have already sent queries, notes of encouragement, or submissions, we thank you for supporting this project. Sincerely, Crystal Crystal Chokshi, PhD Assistant Professor School of Communication Studies Mount Royal University (t) 403-440-6088 | (e) cchokshi at mtroyal.ca *** Call for Proposals: The Need to Rename Tech Deadline: October 6, 2023 Editors Crystal Chokshi (MRU) and Robin Mansell (LSE) Link to Full Call bit.ly/CFPRenameTech Project Description This is a book about words?often metaphors coined by Big Tech?that fool us into thinking the digital technologies we use every day are beautiful, benign, and consequence-free. They?re not. As the writers in this edited collection will show, the digital tech that facilitates daily life has social, political, and climate consequences. But these consequences are concealed by reductive nouns and misleading metaphors, such as the cloud or AI (Hwang & Levy, 2015; Vlasits, 2017; Hogan & Vondereau, 2018; Wyatt, 2021), that are invoked to uphold the technology industry (Ignatow, 2003). Each chapter in this volume will discuss a specific technology and, crucially, a move to rename it. Collectively, we aim to subvert Big Tech?s careful branding and rechristen today?s most popular technologies in ways that point explicitly to their problems. As a whole, this book will propose alternative vocabulary to technologies in the Anthropocene, emphasizing what they actually do or perform, rather than Silicon Valley notions of what people should buy. Project Goal Critical media and communication scholars have made many calls for new language to talk about technology (Lanier, 2010; Hwang and Levy, 2015; Gillespie, 2017; Jobin and Ziewitz, 2018; Wyatt, 2018, 2021; Boucher, 2021; Wallenborn, 2022; Chown and Nascimento, 2023). This book answers these longstanding calls. Our approach to renaming technology, like Lakoff and Johnson (1980), is not necessarily to abandon the use of metaphor. But, like Sally Wyatt (2021), we know better than to be lackadaisical when it comes to language. Language philosophy tells us that words have the power to bring things into being (Austin, 1962); therefore, we need to be very careful with them. Carefulness, by which we mean practicing an ethic of care, comes down to renaming?and, therefore, reframing?the technology industry and the technologies it develops in terms of what they do, not what they appear to be. We hold this conviction: what something is is what it does (Drucker, 2013; van Dijck et al., 2018; Deibert, 2020). This means that things are best understood in terms of their unfolding and their consequences, in what they do as much as what they are. As such, the essays in this volume will discuss and catalogue aspects such as processes, byproducts, outcomes, and aftermaths. How to Submit an Expression of Interest We ask that prospective authors complete our Google form, which includes the following fields: * The technology your chapter will discuss * Its new name (can be tentative, but it will be helpful to show us what you are thinking) * Your argument, in one sentence * A 150-word synopsis If you do not have a Google account, please submit your expression of interest directly to Crystal Chokshi at cchokshi at mtroyal.ca. Please ensure your submission includes responses to the four points directly above. Expressions of interest are due October 6, 2023. Please see the full call for a list of other key dates. Questions?

Droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone ?. Montr?al, 21-24 mai 2024. Vous avez jusqu?au 1er novembre 2023 pour soumettre votre proposition de participation. Le texte de l'appel se trouve ici: https://www.labdelta.ca/app-rencontres2024/ Nous vous invitons ? soumettre une proposition de communication, d?atelier pratique ou de discussion aux rencontres ? droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone ?. Ces rencontres auront lieu ? Montr?al du 21 au 24 mai 2024 (lieu pr?cis ? d?terminer). L?objectif principal de ces rencontres est de favoriser des partenariats entre activistes, organisations associatives ou non gouvernementales et chercheur.es (universitaires ou ind?pendant.es) issu.es du Qu?bec, du Canada et d?autres pays francophones, notamment africains, sur la question des droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone. Les rencontres consisteront en une combinaison de panels d?expert.es (chercheur.es acad?miques, militant.e.s ou autres), d?ateliers pratiques et de s?ances de r?seautage et de travail. Un colloque ?tudiant aura ?galement lieu lors de la premi?re journ?e. L??v?nement se d?roulera en pr?sentiel mais sera rediffus? en ligne. Ces rencontres ne se voulant pas qu?acad?miques, nous invitons particuli?rement les responsables de projets ou d?organisations (charg?.es de projets, direction, b?n?voles) ? d?poser une proposition. Le th?me des rencontres s?appuie sur la n?cessit? de r?fl?chir et d??changer ? propos des concepts et des enjeux li?s aux droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone. Le terme ? droits num?riques ? est une traduction fran?aise de digital rights (en anglais) ou derechos digitales (en espagnol) et renvoie pour nous ? la mani?re dont les droits individuels et collectifs s?actualisent sur Internet et en contexte num?rique (droits ? la connaissance, ? la connectivit?, ? la vie priv?e ou ? l?oubli), mais surtout ? un mouvement social de revendication de ces droits, particuli?rement actif dans le monde anglophone et hispanophone. Dans les derni?res ann?es par exemple, des conf?rences comme le RightsCon ont attir? des dizaines de milliers de personnes de nombreux pays, mais les francophones sont g?n?ralement peu pr?sents ou isol?s sur ces questions. ?troitement li?e sur le plan pratique, la r?sistance num?rique renvoie pour nous ? des formes d?action, de discours ou des postures qui cherchent ? contester, subvertir, refuser ou transformer les structures de pouvoir ?tablies. Nous souhaitons particuli?rement, durant ces rencontres, mieux conna?tre les initiatives qui consistent par exemple ? contester, subvertir, refuser ou transformer les infrastructures et plateformes num?riques dominantes et ce dans un horizon politique d??mancipation sociale. C?est dans la perspective de susciter un plus grand int?r?t et de favoriser des partenariats sur ces questions que nous organisons ces rencontres. Les propositions peuvent prendre plusieurs formes (ateliers, affiches, d?monstrations) et porter sur les th?mes suivants, sans toutefois s?y limiter : * Contextes nationaux et r?gionaux de l?exercice des droits et/ou des r?sistances num?riques francophones; * Pr?sentation d?initiatives li?es aux droits et/ou r?sistances num?riques francophones; * Propositions politiques de partenariats ou de r?seautages; * Pr?sentation de projets de recherche-cr?ation ou de projets artistiques mobilisant les notions de droits et/ou de r?sistances num?riques francophones; * Pr?sentation d??tudes empiriques en lien avec les droits et/ou les r?sistances num?riques francophones; * Th?orisation et conceptualisation des droits num?riques et/ou des r?sistances num?riques; * Pr?sentation d?outils ou de m?thodes en lien avec les droits et/ou r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone. Les propositions doivent ?tre soumises au plus tard le 1er novembre 2023. La d?cision sera transmise aux pr?sentateurs et pr?sentatrices vers la mi-d?cembre 2023.

To sustain the soon-to-be 9 billion global population we cannot count on Mother Earth?s resources anymore. The project explores innovative and speculative ideas about new foods in the field of arts, design, science & technology, rethinking eating traditions and food taboos, and proposing new recipes for survival in times of ecological catastrophes. To match the topic of their talk, attendees will be presented with "anthropocene snacks" and will be encouraged to discuss food alternatives and new networks of solidarity to fight food deserts, waste, and unsustainable consumption. This is a Hybrid event: our guests will join us virtually on zoom. Join us in person at Glendon Campus, rm YH190 (the studio next to the Glendon Theatre) for a more intimate community experience and some anthropocene snacks.

On Monday, 23 October from 11AM-12:30PM EDT/UTC+4: "Building Equitable and Sustainable Game Development Education" Workshop led by Kenzie Gordon (University of Alberta), Dr. Sean Gouglas (University of Alberta), Dr. Alison Harvey (York University), Vishal Sooknananl (Western University), Dr. Johanna Weststar (Western University), and Dr. Jennifer Whitson (University of Waterloo). Register for free using this Eventbrite link. With recent waves of layoffs, high-profile workplace harassment cases, and a notoriously short career length for gender minorities and people of colour, the transition of new workers into the game industry involves navigating a spate of barriers to equity and success that have been understudied in academic research. The First Three Years is an ongoing longitudinal study of graduates of game programs in Canada and the United States, following the journey of 207 students as they move into the game industry. In this workshop, our research team will summarise the primary challenges students have identified in their game programs. This summary includes equity and diversity issues inherent in common curricular practices such as the efficacy of capstone courses and internships, the inclusion of crunch-like practices in the classroom, the systematic failure to inform students of actual workplace conditions, and the mismatch between student preparation and industry hiring practices. Afterwards, participants will address whether/how these problems manifest in their own institutions, and what solutions might improve equity outcomes for students seeking careers in games.? 2. On Tuesday, 31 October from 3-4PM EDT/UTC+4: "The Case for Paratopian Design" lecture by Dr Rilla Khaled (Concordia University). Register for free using this Eventbrite link. What if we could make complex social and cultural questions playable? And what if we could do so through interactions with familiar digital interfaces set in alternative presents and near futures? The work I will discuss sits at the intersection between the design traditions of speculative and critical design on the one hand, and the philosophies and best practices of game design, playful media and interaction design on the other. It turns out, though, that an arranged marriage between these traditions produces unusual offspring. In this talk, grounded in examples including outsourcing religious tolerance to technological solutions, Indigenous Hawaiians undertaking space travel, matrimonial websites from the near future, and flirtatious AI chatbot therapists, I make the case for paratopian design, which is neither utopian nor dystopian, but proposes paradigm shifts that invite us to reconceptualise and reconsider the building blocks of "here" & "now". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Note that the conference will be in English. Manon Niquette. Manon Niquette Ph. D. Professeure titulaire D?partement d'information et de communication Chercheuse, Centre NUTRISS-INAF, IPAC, ComSant? Universit? Laval T 418 656-2131, poste 404354 Food Communication International Communication Association French Society for Information and Communication Science Lab. CIMEOS (University of Burgundy) The Regional ICA Conference to be held in May 2024 in Dijon welcomes scholars from all over the worldworking on food-related issues from a Communication Sciences perspective. Today, food is the subject of numerous studies in history, sociology and anthropology. Many reference works have been written in the disciplines of Human and Social Sciences yet reading the food fact by the prism of the Communication Sciences is an original approach which allows to underline aspects until now little treated. Eating and food choices are the result of numerous factors: biological, psychological, cultural and social. The latter are made up of a whole range of dimensions, such as the media context, memory traces linked to childhood, our upbringing or the experiences and memories that stem from it. From this perspective, food choices require us to adopt a reflexive stance on the social, symbolic and memorial values we incorporate when we eat. As part of the research carried out by the CIMEOS laboratory and its food and gastronomy axis, it's the meaning of our food that we're concerned with. Its gourmet meaning, its environmental and ethical meaning, its nutritional meaning but also its political meaning. Communication Sciences have taken on the food issue around several polarities (De Iulio et al., 2015). The first considers food as a system in the sense understood by Greimas, who emphasizes that "food constitutes a form of non-verbal communication through which meaning is shared" (2015: 8). The second polarity addresses our acts, practices and food choices from media perspective, as an object of discourse and images. It is then a matter of working on food and gastronomy by studying the discourses, their circularity, their impacts on the representations of consumers but also, by extension, on their practices. Various and diversified epistemological approaches are developed questioning a multiplicity of concepts from sensorial and sensitive communication to knowledge constitution and mediation, or digital impacts, challenges and stakes. The ICA "Food Communication? regional conference offers opportunities for engagement with scholars, students and public intellectuals from around the continent to debate these important and topical issues. The following types of proposal are encouraged: communications, thematic panels, posters (especially by the young scholars). Papers, panels (free formats but no longer than one hour and a half) or posters could address the following themes: 1. Social practices concerning the act of ? eating ?. 2. Food communication and digital technologies. 3. Health, food and communication. 4. Communication strategies of the food science industry: food security, labels, etc. 5. Food as a medium for constructing a territory?s reputation and notoriety. The conference will be held in person and is open to everyone, but scholars who wish to present their works need to submit an extended abstract (400-600 words) that will be double-peer reviewed. In the future, an Interest Group Food and Communication could be created participating to the development of research in that area for ICA. CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS DETAILS: Following the ICA tradition, multiple methodologies are valued and works conducted from a wide range of paradigmatic perspectives are encouraged. The goal for extended abstracts is to present and discuss current research about food communication and should adhere to the following guidelines: - Extended abstract should be between 400-600 words (excluding references, tables & figures), and should clearly state the contribution of the work to food communication. - Research data should already be collected. Abstracts need to present some preliminary analyses to provide a first review of results. - Theoretical or methodological extended abstracts are also acceptable; authors should lay out the main arguments to be developed. - Work should be unpublished and not presented at other conferences. ? Please upload a single de-identified PDF file of your paper (including tables, figures, and references) by the deadline (November 15th, 2023) to: https://icafood2024.sciencesconf.org/.

CFP: ?Revisiting a Golden Era: Canadian Cinema of the 1980s and 90s? Call for essay proposals for an edited volume about Canadian films, filmmakers, and film culture (for submission to McGill-Queens University Press) Edited by Lee Carruthers and Charles Tepperman This volume proposes a reconsideration of the aesthetic, cultural, and industrial development of motion pictures in Canada between (approximately) the years 1980 and 2000. This period has often been described as a ?golden era? of Canadian cinema, seeing the rise to prominence of a new generation of Canadian filmmakers and the emergence of new institutions to support them. Piers Handling has characterized this phenomenon as the emergence of a distinctive Canadian cinema that is ?esoteric, diverse, and multifaceted.? As he writes, Canadian cinema was newly mobilized in this phase through festivals, finding an equal standing with literature: ?Cronenberg, Arcand, Egoyan and Maddin stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Atwood, Ondaatje, Martel and Richards.? Significantly, this emergence also coincided with the maturation of academic Film Studies in Canada, a parallel development that resulted in robust critical and scholarly responses. While the films and film contexts of this period were much discussed in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, they demand a new assessment. We invite essay submissions about Canadian cinema of the 1980s and 90s, deploying established critical approaches (textual and cultural analysis, stylistic analysis) as well as new critical methods (such as transmedia and transnational analyses, data-based research, and media industry studies). The collection particularly values close readings of the films of this period, reassessed through the lens of the present, which might serve as exemplary essays for undergraduate and graduate coursework. We encourage reassessments that are critically agile and historiographical in approach, reflecting on the distance that separates us from these films and filmmakers and also the discourses and methods that scholars have brought to them. Articles may address French-, English-, and/or Indigenous-language filmmaking, and films and film cultures from diasporic communities and international co-productions. We ask these contributions to consider the following questions: What does it mean to (re)consider this film / filmmaker / topic in our current moment? What does this reconsideration show us about Canadian cinema of the 1980s and 90s and about contemporary film practice? How do contemporary critical / theoretical / methodological / historiographical resources freshly illuminate the topic, forming contrasts and continuities with earlier examinations? How, for example, do recent conceptualizations of (trans)national cinema, decolonization, anti-racism, gender, and/or media industries reposition our perspective on the films/contexts of Canadian cinema in this period? Contributions can be in various forms and may include short essays (4000-5000 words), long essays (6000-8000), and interviews. Possible topics: - reconsideration of a prominent film or filmmaker ie) Atom Egoyan, David Cronenberg, Denys Arcand, Patricia Rozema, L?a Pool, Deepa Mehta, Don McKellar, Alanis Obomsawin, Robert Lepage, Fran?ois Girard, Micheline Lanct?t, John Greyson, Robert Morin, Guy Maddin and others. - consideration of a film, filmmaker, or context that has been overlooked by scholars but that can be productively retrieved for the present - Indigenous filmmaking, decolonization - gender, cultural difference, and diversity in Canadian cinema - queer and LGBTQ films and cultures - examination of film styles, trends, genres, popular cinema, and art cinema - film festivals (rise of TIFF, other festivals) - film policy (CCA, Telefilm, tax credits) - film distribution and exhibition (theatrical, community, TV) - independent, avant-garde, and experimental film in Canada - developments in documentary film - video, transmedia, new media - film culture, audiences, and reception - co-productions, transnational cinema in the Canadian context - local scenes, regional contexts - other topics related to Canadian cinema in the 1980s and 90s Article proposal/abstract (300-400 words + bibliography/filmography) will be due on January 15, 2024. Final essays will be due by Sept 1, 2024. Please send your proposals and inquiries to Lee Carruthers (lee.carruthers at ucalgary.ca) and Charles Tepperman (c.tepperman at ucalgary.ca).

Physicist Stephen Morris, filmmakers Udo Prinsen, Gita Blak, Lee Hutzulak, Tina de Groot, and composer/saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff are joining forces to explore Morris? area of research Emergent Patterns in Nature through a captivating multimedia experience. The centerpiece of this innovative project is a four-movement, 40-minute work. Each filmmaker will delve into a specific research area within Emergent Patterns in Nature, exploring Branches, Flow, Cracks, and Ripples. Collaborating closely, the team will draw inspiration from one another?s progress into the composition and filmmaking processes. These areas were inspired, in part, by the books about Patterns in Nature by Philip Ball. Blending jazz and classical elements, the composition will be performed by a chamber ensemble featuring woodwinds, brass, percussion, piano, string quartet, bass, drum set, and conductor. Renowned soloists, including clarinetist Fran?ois Houle, the Molinari String Quartet, pianists Matt Mitchell and Santiago Leibson, bassist Carlo De Rosa, drummer Satoshi Takeishi, trombonist Ryan Keberle, and saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff, will contribute their virtuosity to the performance. This groundbreaking collaboration promises to transport audiences on an immersive journey through the wonders of Emergent Patterns in Nature. The result will be an unforgettable multimedia experience that pushes the boundaries of creativity and innovation.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP The workshop is open to untenured professors, advanced graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and independent scholars working in law and the humanities. In addition to drawing from numerous humanistic fields, including Black and Indigenous studies, history, literature, political theory, critical race theory, feminist theory, and philosophy, we welcome critical, qualitative work in the social sciences, including anthropology and sociology. While the scope of the Workshop is broad, we cannot consider proposals that are focused solely on quantitative social science research or that are limited to purely doctrinal legal research. We are especially interested in submissions from members of traditionally underrepresented groups and submissions touching on themes of anti-racism and anti-subordination. We welcome submissions from those working at regional and teaching-intensive institutions. Based on anonymous evaluation by an interdisciplinary selection committee, between six and eight papers will be chosen for presentation at the Workshop. At the Workshop, two senior scholars will comment on each paper. Commentators and other Workshop participants will be asked to focus specifically on the strengths and weaknesses of the selected scholarly projects, with respect to subject and methodology. The selected papers will then serve as the basis for a larger conversation among all the participants that may include themes connecting all of the projects, as well as discussion of the evolving standards by which we judge excellence and creativity in interdisciplinary scholarship. The selected papers will appear in a special issue of the Legal Scholarship Network; there is no other publication commitment. (We will accommodate the wishes of chosen authors who prefer not to have their paper posted publicly with us because of publication commitments to other journals.) However, we will only accept Workshop participants whose papers are true works in progress; articles or chapters that are already in page proofs or are otherwise unable to be revised by the time of the Workshop are ineligible. The Workshop will pay the domestic travel and hotel expenses of authors whose papers are selected for presentation. For authors requiring airline travel from outside the United States, the Workshop will cover such travel expenses up to a maximum of $1250. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Applications should include: a 1500-2000 word summary of the paper (including footnotes or endnotes), a 1-2 page bibliography, in Microsoft Word (not PDF) and, if your paper is a chapter in a book or dissertation, an optional 1-page chapter outline of the larger project. Applications are due on December 15, 2023. If your application advances to the final stage of consideration, you will be asked to submit the full paper on February 1, 2024. Please do not apply if you will not have a full paper on February 1. The application is intended to be a summary of existing, ongoing work rather than a proposal for new or planned work. Final paper submissions must be works-in-progress that do not exceed 10,000 words in length (including footnotes/ endnotes). A dissertation chapter may be submitted, but we strongly suggest that it be edited so as to stand alone as a piece of work with its own integrity. A paper that has been submitted for publication is eligible for selection so long as it will not be in galley proofs or in print at the time of the Workshop; it is important that authors still be in a position at the time of the Workshop to consider comments they receive there and to incorporate them as they think appropriate in their revisions. We ask that those submitting applications be careful to omit or redact any information in the paper summary or the body of the paper that might serve to identify them, as we adhere to an anonymous or ?blind? selection process. Applications (in Microsoft Word?no pdf files, please) will be accepted until December 15, 2023, and should be sent by e-mail to: Lawandhumanitiesworkshop at gmail.com. Please be sure to include your name, institutional affiliation (if any), and phone and email contact information in your covering email, not in the paper itself.

The main goal is to expand our understanding of the economy of emotions in the digital communication ecosystem to the field of nature and the ?natural? that are part of several public discourses (e.g. ecologism, animal rights, green activism, veganism, etc.). Placing the visually grotesque (i.e. disruptive, shocking) and kitschy (i.e. sentimentalism, cloying, cute) in the communication battleground of nature and the ?natural? contributes to highlight the role of emotions in shaping public ideas, perceptions, opinions, attitudes and behaviours about nature and non-human animals. In this particular lecture, we will present the methodology of this research by focusing on the creation of a ?digital machine? using algorithms, AI, and other programming tools to analyze texts, emojis, images and online conversations. This ?digital machine? will help us to discover the emotional strategies of Greenpeace, WWF and PETA on Twitter (now X). This tool will also be used to reveal the interactions between users and these organizations, observing the emotional convergences, dissonances and ambiguities during their communicative exchanges. Short bio Isaac Nah?n-Serfaty (MSc, PhD, Universit? de Montr?al) is a scholar, writer and consultant in organizational communication, with extensive experience in health communication, crisis management, and corporate social responsibility. He is interested in studying the role of the senses and emotions in our perception of the world and interaction with other beings. His book Strategic Communication and Deformative Transparency. Persuasion in politics, propaganda and public health (Routledge, 2019) explores the representations of the grotesque in public health, politics and terrorism. He is currently studying the role of the visually kitsch and grotesque in environmental and ?animalist? communication through the design of a ?digital machine? to analyze emotions about nature and non-human animas on social media. He is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Ottawa (Canada). He was born in Tangier (Morocco). At six, he moved to Venezuela with his parents and sister. He has lived in Ottawa for the last 16 years. His plurilingual and pluricultural experiences influence his communication research and literary work. He co-wrote with Meir Magar the novel La conjura del esplendor (Medata, 2016). ________________________________________________________________________________ Microsoft Teams meeting Join on your computer, mobile app or room device Click here to join the meeting Meeting ID: 396 802 235 670 Passcode: sbzxUV Download Teams | Join on the web Learn More | Meeting options Isaac Nahon-Serfaty Professeur agr?g?/Associate Professor Communication uOttawa (Canada) Website: https://criticaleducationcritique.blogspot.com/ Twitter: @narrativaoral [cid:253d69df-8979-4290-84f5-3a68b818a124] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Date limite des appels : 15 d?cembre 2023) Produire les savoirs : les enjeux relationnels entre humains et non-humains en questions Il est beaucoup question de ChatGPT, l'agent conversationnel qui nous propose des textes sur tous les sujets relevant de la connaissance humaine. Pour les uns, il s'agit d'une perc?e majeure en termes d'? intelligence artificielle ? g?n?rative. Pour les autres, ces am?liorations rapides ne doivent pas ?tre vues comme des exploits techniques, mais au contraire comme autant de sources de probl?mes sociaux majeurs. Au-del?, cette actualit? renvoie ? s'interroger sur les fronti?res entre humains et non-humains. Ces d?bats ne sont pas compl?tement nouveaux dans notre champ, celui de la sociologie de la communication. D?s 1950, Alan Turing avait invent? un test dit ? test de Turing ? qui avait pour but de s'interroger sur la capacit? d'une machine ? penser en demandant ? un ?tre humain s'il pensait communiquer avec un autre ?tre humain ou avec une machine? Aujourd'hui, les m?mes questions se posent, mais avec une acuit? toute nouvelle. Les enjeux sociaux s'av?rent majeurs, par exemple ? propos du r?le des algorithmes dans les recommandations d'?uvres culturelles sur les plateformes au d?triment de m?diations humaines plus traditionnelles. Ou bien du r?le de ces m?mes algorithmes dans la mise en visibilit? de certains contenus sur les r?seaux socionum?riques qui favorisent la reproduction des id?es dominantes via les bulles de filtre, voire trompent les internautes en laissant prolif?rer des nouvelles falsifi?es. En raison de la place et du r?le pris par les m?dias (socio)num?riques ? une ?chelle quasi-plan?taire, le capital et le pouvoir s'av?rent de plus en plus concentr?s entre quelques g?ants du capitalisme, des r?gimes politiques stables sont susceptibles d'?tre d?stabilis?s et les big data sont utilis?es massivement pour analyser, voire pr?dire, nos comportements. Face ? de tels enjeux, quels sont les objets et terrains ? privil?gier ? Est-il encore possible de distinguer clairement les places respectives des humains et des techniques, de la technique ? Quelles sont les pratiques de r?sistance aussi bien ? propos des collectes de donn?es qu'en termes de d?tournements d'usages et de tentatives de contournement des logiques d'hame?onnage de l'attention ? Ces pratiques visent-elles ? prot?ger nos vies priv?es, ? tenter de renouveler les formes de sociabilit? et de vivre-ensemble, ou bien ? remettre en cause les formes prises par le capitalisme ?

By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In this book, Jason Hannan argues that social media have brought about a second transformation, this time involving internet trolls. He explores how the trolls have emerged from the cave and now walk in the clear light of day. Trolling has gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. Adding a twist to Postman?s classic thesis, Hannan argues that we are not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. But how did this come to be? Can we attribute this transformation solely to digital technology? Or are there deeper political, economic, and cultural roots? Trolling Ourselves to Death moves beyond the familiar picture of trolling by recasting it in a broader historical light. It shows how trolling is the logical outcome of a culture of possessive individualism, widespread alienation, mass distrust, and rampant paranoia. Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, it explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling. It sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, ?cancel culture,? and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom?s innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, this book makes a case for building ?a spirit of trust? to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling. REVIEWS "When assessing online toxicity, violence, and manipulation, it's tempting to frame each as creatures of the platforms' lagoons: 'new' problems caused by digital technologies. In this provocative analysis, Jason Hannan shows that there are creatures in the lagoon, yes, but those waters are older, murkier, and much more steeped in analog dysfunction than we might care to admit. Identifying these origins is the first and most critical step to understanding how we arrived at such a precarious political moment?and what we can, and must, do next to begin undoing the damage." ? Whitney Phillips, author of This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Mapping the Relationship between Online Trolling and Mainstream Culture "Almost forty years after Neil Postman's seminal work, Jason Hannan analyzes the profound problem of a poisoned public sphere in a platform society. His new book offers a deeply insightful analysis of the transformation of online culture, in which trolling, disinformation, and conspiracy theories are increasingly normalized. Essential reading for all teachers and students who believe that education can serve as a civic counteroffensive against the massive pollution of our online channels." ? Jos? van Dijck, co-author of The Platform Society: Public Values in a Connective World "Democracy comes with an abundance of enemies, and lately with trolls. In this engaging read, Jason Hannan historicizes trolling with and without technology and walks us through its impact on civic cultures. This lucid and informed book is a must-read for those curious about what trolling is, why and how it manifests, and how we may survive it." ?

I have included a brief description, a review quote, the Table of Contents and link to publisher's website. Thank you, Michael Lithgow BEGIN POSTING *NEW PUBLICATION* We are pleased to announce the publication of Eyewitness Textures: User-Generated Content & Journalism in the 21st Century, by McGill-Queen's University Press (edited by Michael Lithgow and Mich?le Martin). Eyewitness Textures offers a collection of papers exploring the important and far-reaching changes taking place in professional journalism in connection with user-generated digital content. Description Bringing together the voices and experiences of professional journalists and academic researchers from across five continents, this collection explores news production practices, changing skills among editors and journalists, and corporate and newsroom restructuring. Chapters by practitioners collectively reflect the newsroom experiences of major global media organizations, while the academic contributions address issues of industrial transformation, political influence, truth and verification, aesthetics, and ideological implications. Both perspectives combine to deepen our understanding of what constitutes the conditions and creation of good journalism, as well as the implications of how the profession should be taught to future journalists. Review ?This book explores the breadth of new dimensions crucial to understanding the implications of user-generated content today. While this kind of content has become commonplace, the blurred distinctions between it and citizen witnessing, or between witnessing in general and the processes of publication, are not easily resolved.

The Canadian Game Studies Association (CGSA/AC?J) welcomes applications for the role of Editor-in-Chief of Loading: The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association. This is a four (4) year term position (with possibility for renewal for up to two more years). It is an exciting opportunity to extend and develop the purview of an open access journal, lead a team of editors, manage the peer review process, and coordinate special issues and open call submissions. Loading: The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association is a forum for publishing original and interdisciplinary academic research on games. We accept work from a variety of perspectives: from research on game cultures and industries to educational approaches to the study and development of games; and from computer science-driven papers on designing and testing games to psychological research on games and their effects. Founded in 2007, the journal accepts articles from researchers in Canada and world wide. We aim to publish at least two issues per year. The role is open to tenured or otherwise permanently employed academic candidates. Listed in order of priority, candidates are required to bring to the role: a solid understanding of the ethics of academic publishing; strong knowledge of the field of game studies; robust networks in the Canadian and global game studies communities; experience in peer reviewing and, preferably, editing of academic work; a high level of proficiency in English written communication, and, ideally, French written communication. Applicants can be based in Canada or outside, but an understanding of the context of Canadian game studies and Canadian academic publishing is an asset. For the first year of their editorship, the successful applicant will be mentored by the outgoing editor Dr. Jennifer Jenson. Please note that the ethos of the journal is informed by an ethos of humane, thoughtful, and reflexive knowledge production informed by ?The Slow Professor? (Berg & Seeber, 2016), and the Editor-in-Chief should embody and enact the values of this resistance to the academic grind. Those interested are encouraged to send any questions to Alison Harvey, President, Canadian Game Studies Association (CGSA/AC?J): canadiangamestudies at gmail.com To apply please send the following materials to the CGSA/AC?J Executive, with ?Loading Editor-In-Chief? included in the email subject header: * A statement of purpose, detailing your interest in and objectives for the position, relevant research activities, and qualifications pertinent to the role; * An up-to-date CV outlining publishing experience; * An overview of proposed recruitment strategies for Loading?s editorial team.

The deadline for applications is 11:59pm ET December 11 2023. The CGSA/AC?J Executive Committee will review all received applications. Applications will be evaluated against the role requirements listed above. Candidates whose application materials most fully meet these requirements will be contacted in January 2024 to confirm their interest and to set up a virtual interview that same month. Interview questions will be provided five weekdays in advance of their scheduled interview; all candidates to be interviewed will receive the same questions. Interviews will be approximately 45 minutes in length. The CGSA/AC?J Executive Committee aims to communicate its decision to the successful candidate by March 15 2024. The incoming Editor-In-Chief will be expected to attend the 2024 CGSA/AC?J Annual General Meeting, to be held as part of CGSA/AC?J 2024 in June 2024 at McGill University in Montreal as part of the 2024 Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities. ////////////////////// L'Association canadienne des ?tudes sur le jeu (AC?J/CGSA) accueille des candidatures au poste de r?dacteur?rice en chef de Loading: The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association.

N?h?sitez pas ? faire circuler! ---- Appel ? participation - Rencontres ? Droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone ?. Montr?al, 21-24 mai 2024. Prolongation : vous avez jusqu?au 15 novembre 2023 pour soumettre votre proposition de participation. Le texte de l'appel se trouve ici: https://www.labdelta.ca/app-rencontres2024/ Nous vous invitons ? soumettre une proposition de communication, d?atelier pratique ou de discussion aux rencontres ? droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone ?. Ces rencontres auront lieu ? Montr?al du 21 au 24 mai 2024 (lieu pr?cis ? d?terminer). L?objectif principal de ces rencontres est de favoriser des partenariats entre activistes, organisations associatives ou non gouvernementales et chercheur.es (universitaires ou ind?pendant.es) issu.es du Qu?bec, du Canada et d?autres pays francophones, notamment africains, sur la question des droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone. Les rencontres consisteront en une combinaison de panels d?expert.es (chercheur.es acad?miques, militant.e.s ou autres), d?ateliers pratiques et de s?ances de r?seautage et de travail. Un colloque ?tudiant aura ?galement lieu lors de la premi?re journ?e. L??v?nement se d?roulera en pr?sentiel mais sera rediffus? en ligne. Ces rencontres ne se voulant pas qu?acad?miques, nous invitons particuli?rement les responsables de projets ou d?organisations (charg?.es de projets, direction, b?n?voles) ? d?poser une proposition. Le th?me des rencontres s?appuie sur la n?cessit? de r?fl?chir et d??changer ? propos des concepts et des enjeux li?s aux droits et r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone. Le terme ? droits num?riques ? est une traduction fran?aise de digital rights (en anglais) ou derechos digitales (en espagnol) et renvoie pour nous ? la mani?re dont les droits individuels et collectifs s?actualisent sur Internet et en contexte num?rique (droits ? la connaissance, ? la connectivit?, ? la vie priv?e ou ? l?oubli), mais surtout ? un mouvement social de revendication de ces droits, particuli?rement actif dans le monde anglophone et hispanophone. Dans les derni?res ann?es par exemple, des conf?rences comme le RightsCon ont attir? des dizaines de milliers de personnes de nombreux pays, mais les francophones sont g?n?ralement peu pr?sents ou isol?s sur ces questions. ?troitement li?e sur le plan pratique, la r?sistance num?rique renvoie pour nous ? des formes d?action, de discours ou des postures qui cherchent ? contester, subvertir, refuser ou transformer les structures de pouvoir ?tablies. Nous souhaitons particuli?rement, durant ces rencontres, mieux conna?tre les initiatives qui consistent par exemple ? contester, subvertir, refuser ou transformer les infrastructures et plateformes num?riques dominantes et ce dans un horizon politique d??mancipation sociale. C?est dans la perspective de susciter un plus grand int?r?t et de favoriser des partenariats sur ces questions que nous organisons ces rencontres. Les propositions peuvent prendre plusieurs formes (ateliers, affiches, d?monstrations) et porter sur les th?mes suivants, sans toutefois s?y limiter : ? Contextes nationaux et r?gionaux de l?exercice des droits et/ou des r?sistances num?riques francophones; ? Pr?sentation d?initiatives li?es aux droits et/ou r?sistances num?riques francophones; ? Propositions politiques de partenariats ou de r?seautages; ? Pr?sentation de projets de recherche-cr?ation ou de projets artistiques mobilisant les notions de droits et/ou de r?sistances num?riques francophones; ? Pr?sentation d??tudes empiriques en lien avec les droits et/ou les r?sistances num?riques francophones; ? Th?orisation et conceptualisation des droits num?riques et/ou des r?sistances num?riques; ? Pr?sentation d?outils ou de m?thodes en lien avec les droits et/ou r?sistances num?riques en contexte francophone. Les propositions doivent ?tre soumises au plus tard le 15 novembre 2023. La d?cision sera transmise aux pr?sentateurs et pr?sentatrices vers la mi-d?cembre 2023.

The online workshop, titled What Can Researchers and Research Communicators Do to Address Online Abuse?, happens November 23 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. PST. It?s specifically designed to support researchers and research communicators, but it?s open to everyone. The workshop covers scenarios and strategies to protect yourself online, including how to limit the amount of data you expose online. ?None of us should have to deal with this alone,? Hodson says, adding that she and her team have met so many just doing that over the course of their research. ?I think people don?t realize that we could be a community. I think one of the broader goals for this and our work going forward is to help people recognize that they?re not alone and we really are stronger together.?

On Tuesday, 14 November from 11AM-12PM (EST/UTC-4): Skins Deep: Race, Gender, and Nationality in eSports, a lecture by Tara Fickle (Northwestern University). Register for free using this Eventbrite link. Since the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, Asia has remained the center of the manufacturing of video game hardware (China and Southeast Asia), the center of game innovation and the birthplace of most game genres (Japan), and the largest reliable resource of consumers (nearly half of game players reside in Asia). Dr. Fickle asks how video games, in being inextricably tethered to Asia, continue to produce new racializations of Asians around the globe, and the varied impacts games have had on Asian diasporas in North America through forms of digitization, ?gamic? worlds, and play itself. The talk will explore a range of relevant contemporary topics in Asian/American gaming, such as esports, visual novels, racial representations, gender, labor and industry culture. 2. On Monday, 20 November from 11AM-12:30PM (EST/UTC-4): Emerging Voices in Asian/American Game Studies, featuring Matthew Howard (Loyola University), Sarah Ganzon (Simon Fraser University), and Huan He (Vanderbilt University). Register for free using this Eventbrite link. This panel highlights emerging scholars in Asian/American games studies. Panelists will present recent and/or ongoing work, sharing a glimpse of the emerging research questions animating the field. Topics include He?s analysis of NPC discourse, particularly the phenomena of NPC streaming, as an Asiatic form, Ganzon?s examination of Filipino political activism in digital games that extend public and community spaces, and Howard?s inquiry on 'region locking' in online games as racial practices. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Art History and Communication Studies Graduate Student Association is putting together a graduate symposium in April 2024 and we think our theme might be of interest to your network. Could you please circulate the attached CFP? Thank you so much, Sofia Di Gironimo and Marcus Prasad --- CFP: McGill Art History and Communication Studies Graduate Symposium Call for Papers: Reorienting the Sublime McGill University Department of Art History and Communication Studies Graduate Student Symposium Deadline for Submissions: December 29, 2023 ?The sublime is something added that expands us, overstrains us, and causes us to be both here, as dejects, and there, as others and sparkling. A divergence, an impossible bounding. Everything missed, joy?fascination? -- Julia Kristeva, Powers of Horror. The Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University is pleased to invite submissions for the Annual Graduate Symposium ?Reorienting the Sublime,? to be held on Thursday, April 4 and Friday, April 5, 2024. The sublime has held a steady yet complex position within the discourse of art history and visual culture, and encourages a consideration of its relationship to media and communication studies. Its perhaps best known form can be traced to Edmund Burke in the 18th century, who defined the sublime through a dual emotional quality of attraction and fear, which Immanuel Kant honed to describe a magnitude of unlimited feeling that humans are unable to possess. Jacques Lacan, who follows from a Freudian notion of the sublime as a positivised or aestheticised counterpart to the uncanny, also suggests that the ?sublime object? points us towards that which has the power to de-realise and dematerialize, revealing the contradictions at the center of a law. As such, the sublime has provided a rife affective terrain for artists to draw from that could elicit awe, power, and a certain delight in transgressing limitation. It has also offered a useful framework to think through the meanings and affects circulating new communication technologies, which are often simultaneously feared and viewed as opportunities for human transcendence. At the same time, the sublime has provided the means to bolster colonial understandings of ?taming the unknown? and efforts to seek command of that which appears to be out of order. What can be said of the sublime as revelatory, a call to re-translate or re-visit the foundational systems of meaning which structure the world and our place in it? How might we position the sublime in relation to contemporary politics, culture, and technologies? In what ways do awe, terror, beauty, and overwhelm play into our current objects of research, and how might these aspects of sublimity reorient the objects and approaches within our fields of study? Following this history of contestation, our symposium seeks to consider the state of the sublime today and how its discourse continues to take shape within the interdisciplinary realms of art history and communication studies. We invite papers from all periods of art history, communication studies, and related disciplines to consider these questions, as well as the following topics as prompts for further thought: - Beyond the worldly, transcendence, (dis)embodiment - Affect, desire, aversion, horror, tragedy - Consumption, glut, excess, control - Technological sublime - Hyperreality, capitalist/cyber/digital sublime - Landscape painting, romanticism, colonial origins and post-colonial critiques - Gestalt, Gesamtkunstwerk - Historical reconfigurations of Kant, Burke, Hegel, Lacan, etc. - Incomprehensibility, inspiration, confusion - The non-human, anthropocene, pre-linguistic - (Against) the uncanny, the beautiful, the harmonious The Art History and Communication Studies Graduate Symposium committee invites proposals for fifteen-minute-long paper presentations. Current and recently graduated Masters, Doctoral, and Postdoctoral students from various Humanities fields whose research addresses this year?s theme are encouraged to apply. Applicants should submit an abstract of no more than 300 words with the title of the paper, along with a separate document that includes a 250-word bio, to ahcs.pgss at mail.mcgill.ca by Friday, December 29, 2023. Please include your full name, affiliation, and contact information in your bio. A blind panel will be reviewing all submissions, so please ensure that your name and other identifying marks do not appear in the abstract document. While we encourage in-person participation at the symposium, we will have limited spots for presentations over Zoom. If you would like to be considered for a virtual presentation, please indicate so in your abstract, in addition to any other accommodations or considerations you would like the committee to know of.

Media Literacy and Media Education Research Methods: A Handbook Edited by Pierre Fastrez and Normand Landry About the Book: Media Literacy and Media Education Research Methods: a Handbook (Fastrez & Landry, eds., 2024) interrogates the foundations of media literacy and media education research from a methodological standpoint. It provides a detailed, illustrated overview of key methods used in the study of media literacy and media education. Further, it reveals the diversity of this research field and organizes this diversity by using three categories of investigation: media practices, educational initiatives, and prescriptive discourses. The book offers valuable reference points and tools for exploring the range of research methods used to study media literacy and media education and how these methods connect to epistemological stances, theoretical frameworks, and research questions. It serves as a guide for researchers who wish to position themselves, reflect on the methods they use or are considering using, and compare and contrast them against alternative or complementary approaches. After reading this book, readers will be better able to identify and define the objects of study in media literacy and media education research, the preferred ways of conducting investigations, the phenomena, issues, and dimensions that these are likely to bring to light, and the knowledge that they generate. This comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field of media literacy education research methods will be of great interest to scholars and students of education studies, media studies, media literacy, cognitive science, and communication studies. The complete table of contents can be accessed Here. The book can be bought Here. A special discount can be accessed Here.

See our draft proposal below. Please contact me if you?re interested in joining the panel. --- This panel centres vehicular violence in Canada and how it is implicated in the white settler project of nation building. Drawing on case studies (X, X, and X TBD), the panel explores the politics of mobility that enable the conditions for vehicular violence. This includes the racialization and masculinization of mobility in conjunction with settler colonialism and racial capitalism, and a common-sense acceptance of pedestrian fatalities as exchange for freedoms associated with vehicular mobility and its colonization of space through the infrastructure of the road. Following Stuesse and Coleman (2014), we argue that paying attention to ?place-based mobilities? is crucial for understanding how ?race, class, gender, nationality, and sexuality underwrite a widespread condition of not being able to move freely, or perhaps at all? (56).

This discussion of ethical decision making when building technologies in a ?Good Way? includes two examples. First, I illustrate how the protocol for building a Lakota sweat lodge can act as a framework for building a physical computing device. Next, I provide an example of how multiple streams of protocol are necessary to build an AI system as a confluence of ethics. Some ideas proposed here are not currently possible, some are possible if investment is made in the necessary research, and some are possible but only through a radical change in the way technology companies are run and the pyramid of compensation for the exploitation of resources is reversed. BIO: Suzanne Kite is an award-winning Ogl?la Lak??ta artist, composer, and academic. Her scholarship and practice explore contemporary Lak??ta ontology (the study of beinghood in Lak??ta), artificial intelligence, and contemporary art and performance. She creates interfaces and arranges software systems that engage the whole body, in order to imagine new ethical AI protocols that interrogate past, present, and future Lak??ta philosophies.

We are excited to announce the publication of Killer Fandom: Fan Studies and the Celebrity Serial Killer: https://www.mediastudies.press/killer-fandom Killer Fandom is the first long-form treatment of serial killer fandom. Fan studies have mostly ignored this most moralized form of fandom, as a stigmatized Bad Other in implicit tension with the field?s successful campaign to recuperate the broader fan category. Yet serial killer fandom, as Fathallah shows in the book, can be usefully studied with many of the field?s leading analytic frameworks. After tracing the pre-digital history of fans, mediated celebrity, and killers, Fathallah examines contemporary fandom through the lens of textual poaching, affective community, subcultural capital, and play. With close readings of fan posts, comments, and mashups on Tumblr, TikTok, and YouTube, alongside documentaries, podcasts, and a thriving ?murderabilia? industry, Killer Fandom argues that this fan culture is, in many ways, hard to distinguish from more ?mainstream? fandoms. Fan creations around Aileen Wuornos, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and Richard Ramirez, among others, demonstrate a complex and shifting stance toward their objects?marked by parodic humor and irony in many cases. Killer Fandom ultimately questions?given our crime-and violence-saturated media culture?whether it makes sense to set Dahmer and Wuornos ?fans? apart from the rest of us. The book is available online and as a free download in PDF and ePub. A paperback version is also available. https://www.mediastudies.press/killer-fandom Killer Fandom appears in the Media Manifold Series series.

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, and accelerating through it, we identified a shift in progress whereby digital images took an increasingly central role in constructing, maintaining and transforming formal and informal processes of adjudicating what counts as true. What kind of images are considered valid, are allowed and accepted as-if true? How do they convince, and get authorized, and become usable? How are digital technologies influencing the impact of visuality vis-?-vis accountability? Will visual accountability be used in ways that impact vulnerable individuals (See Neu 2006)? It is worth wondering how digital image sharing contributes to digital infrastructures and impacts practices of enacting certain truths in everyday life. Particular ways of looking that are honed online and emerge out of digital sociality, challenge visual sociology to devise new ways to dialogue with audiences across the academy, bring sociological understandings to the quotidian micro-level, and connect the practice of sociology to broader public issues. Sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1990) posited that the power of photography is extrinsic to photography itself and gains currency by communicating within a system of values. When these pictures become mobile, together with the apps that allow their creation and circulation, they contribute to what Hjorth and Pink call a ?social lubricant? (2014). In 2021, 22-year-old Gabby Petito was reported missing in the USA: Her boyfriend was on the run. Cyber sleuths using Twitter and TikTok began to share information to build a timeline of Petito?s movements, zeroing in on the Instagram photos she had been posting up to the time she disappeared. One user noted her hair had dark roots in one photo and seemed to have been freshly dyed blonde in another; others examined the pictures and triangulated with dates to show this was an error. Lavrence and Cambre (2020) use the term, the ?digital forensic gaze,? to describe ways of looking that mobilize veridical techniques when scrutinizing online images, as seen when people and groups mobilize online. In these kinds of contexts, such images are considered dubious until proven otherwise. Meanwhile, seemingly moving in the opposite direction, institutions and corporations are using everyday images as evidence and are asking employees and others to ?prove? their claims with photos. For example, in June 2022, the FedEx Corporation in the USA announced it would be offering ?Picture proof of delivery? for packages released without a signature. Customers tracking packages will receive a photo showing its location. But what if the package is removed or the picture is manipulated? What might be at stake in the gradual normalization of these practices? A sense of obligation to ?show? not just ?tell? has begun to permeate the professional sphere, and nascent practices of institutional requests for photographs from employees and other members has slowly been gaining legitimacy. What are the implications of these new practices for visual sociology? What kinds of literacies are required to navigate these emerging ocular regimes? How are people everywhere mobilizing images as testimony and using visual practices to stake their veridical claims? BEYOND THE THEME: Abstracts may also address other topics relating to visual methods, theories, and the visual analysis of society, culture and social relationships, beyond the general conference theme. Possible topics include but are not limited to: ? Images as legitimation ? Post-truth, trust, and verification ? visual methodologies and accountability ? visual theory and digital representation ? Public perception and deep fakes ? Activism, engagement and ?situatedness? ? Visibility, invisibility and the edited image ? Digital sociality and performance ? Surveillance and sousveillance ? Seeing and being seen - social media ? Approaches to AI ? Photographs as ?proof? in the everyday (work and social) ? Game playing, social interaction, and machine vision ? Re/Presentation saving face/losing face ? Digital crowds: sociological publics ? Hyper-scrutiny the 21st century ? Surveillance-based social credit systems ? Visual ethics, collaboration & the researcher gaze ? Framing the digital gaze ABOUT IVSA & THE CONFERENCE ?The IVSA is a non-profit, democratic and academically oriented professional organization devoted to the visual study of society, culture, and social relationships. Our members represent a wide spectrum of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, education, visual communication, photography, filmmaking, art and journalism? (visualsociology.org). Whilst strongly rooted in the discipline of sociology, the IVSA welcomes participation from a wide range of disciplinary and artistic approaches. We also encourage those unfamiliar with visual methods and analysis to visually innovate and experiment in their respective areas of substantive specialization. As well as panel sessions, the conference will include a student poster competition, research-creation exhibition, keynote address, and spotlight panels, ?walking the city? experiences and workshops. The 2024 Scholarly Awards will be announced and celebrated.

Dear friends and colleagues, Please join us for an upcoming event hosted online and at the University of Waterloo Games Institute: On Tuesday, 12 December from 11AM-12:30PM (EST/UTC-5): What Makes it Indigenous: On Readabilty and Forced Readability in Indigenous Media, a lecture by Meagan Byrnes (Achimostawinan Games). Register for free using this Eventbrite link. This talk will explore the concept of Readability and Forced Reliability of Indigenous culture in games media. This talk will make clear how Indigenous representation in media even by Indigenous creators can be subtly and not so subtly influenced by an overarching Colonial system. It will explore how this system with a vested interest in maintaining their conception of Indigenous culture in the public consciousness through Forced Readability can and does contribute to the erasure of Indigenous culture. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The deadline to submit an abstract for peer reviewed articles of 5000-7000 words is January 15, 2024. The deadline for ?actualize? and ?fantasize? submissions of 500-1500 words is May 15, 2024. As per the CFP: The consequences of human-induced climate change, the extinction of flora and fauna, pollution, environmental predation, and injustices are causing a spectrum of constraints, shrinkage, alteration and loss (Murphy, 2017; Elliott, 2018; Dokumaci, 2023). In response, people are figuring out how to think, communicate and act differently to account for damages done by systems whose human, more-than-human, and planetary harms are fueled by petrocultures (Chapman & Ahmed, 2021; Gomez-Barris, 2018; T??w?, 2022). Carbon-concerned researchers, professionals, and citizens are advancing necessary shifts, including the design and implementation of alternative forms of communicating and gathering. Our call invites scholars across disciplines to explore the articulation between media and new forms of collaborative and non-extractive ways of knowledge exchange and communication. We are thrilled to invite you to take part in this CFP and in this ongoing conversation. The short version of the CFP is attached. Please see this link for the longer one: https://www.centreemiledurkheim.fr/actualites/aac/aac-journal-of-environmental-media/ Please do not hesitate to contact myself (saroburn at yorku.ca) or any of the other editors if you have any questions.

Dear friends and colleagues, Please join us for an upcoming event hosted online and at the University of Waterloo Games Institute: On Tuesday, 12 December from 11AM-12:30PM (EST/UTC-5): What Makes it Indigenous: On Readabilty and Forced Readability in Indigenous Media, a lecture by Meagan Byrnes (Achimostawinan Games). Register for free using this Eventbrite link. This talk will explore the concept of Readability and Forced Reliability of Indigenous culture in games media. This talk will make clear how Indigenous representation in media even by Indigenous creators can be subtly and not so subtly influenced by an overarching Colonial system. It will explore how this system with a vested interest in maintaining their conception of Indigenous culture in the public consciousness through Forced Readability can and does contribute to the erasure of Indigenous culture. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Tanenbaum (2013) notes that video game players are often positioned by designers as ?agents of chaos? that are resistant towards pre-authored narratives and architectures. While this description is overly simplistic and does not account for the diverse, context-dependent, and sometimes contradictory goals that motivate play, it does speak to the importance of the element of subversion in both video games and video game cultures. Both with regards to underlying code and representational norms, players have long been invested to some degree in making ?a mockery of the author?s intentions? (Aarseth, 2004): Modding kits and associated modding communities have been integral to gaming subcultures since the early 1980s (Voorhes, 2014); speedrunners and ?glitch hunters? ?revel? in disregarding designers? operational assumptions about how players could or should interact with intelligently designed digital spaces (Hemmingsen, 2021, 447); queer, feminist, and critical race reimaginations of games and have long deployed strategies of transgressive play to illuminate and disrupt normative assumptions about the ?ideal player? (e.g. Gray, 2012; Schleiner, 2001; Sunden, 2009; Ruberg, 2019). Games, as computational systems that create simulated systems through narratives and mechanics (Bogost, 2007), are deeply concerned with dynamics of boundedness and freedom. The nature of play can be understood as something that pushes up against (and in some cases, threatens) the power of the game as a world and as a structure of meaning(s) and knowledge(s). Viewed this way, subversion is a central consideration when it comes to understanding video games as an artistic medium and social experience. Subversion in gaming leads inexorably to questions of power; the power to define meanings, values and truths in both digital and non digital gaming worlds. As diverse forms of media and communication technologies become increasingly ?gamified,? understanding dynamics of subversion and alterity becomes imperative in order to account for emerging dynamics of domination and resistance across media landscapes Thus this book aims to bring together diverse projects that engage with subversion in relation to games and gaming cultures. The peer reviewed book will be published as part of the Games in Context Series at Palgrave. This series asks us what it means to study, critique, and create games in context. Titles in this series include Feminism in Play (Edited by Kishonna L. Gray, Gerald Voorhees, Emma Vossen) and Queerness in Play (Edited by Todd Harper, Meghan Blythe Adams and Nicholas Taylor). Book Editors: * Dr. Aparajita Bhandari, Assistant Professor of Critical Digital Studies, University of Waterloo, Canada * Sara Bimo, PhD student in Communication and Culture, York University, Canada What we?re looking for: We invite academics, researchers, students and industry experts to submit book chapter proposals that address, but are not limited to, the following topics: 1. The potential (or lack thereof) of games in subverting patterns of globalization and colonial power, hegemonic political systems, ideologies, or structures of power 2. Analysis of how games and/or players can subvert traditional expectations of gender and sexuality 3. Subversive labor practices within the video game, esports and livestreaming industries 4. Gamification of everyday life 5. Investigating how games can act as a medium for societal critique, addressing issues such as inequality, race, class, and discrimination or alternatively the limitations of the games industry in enacting such critiques 6. The subversive potential of in-game art, sound design, and narrative structure and gaming environments 7. The role of player agency in subversive gaming, including choices that challenge ethical, moral, or societal norms. 8. The impact of controversial games, censorship, and the boundaries of free expression in gaming and gamer communities 9.

Please see the original Call for Chapters below. Duncan Koerber Brock University ------------------------- CALL FOR CHAPTERS for Edited Collection on the Culture of the Social Media Crisis Authors are invited to contribute chapters to an upcoming edited collection on crisis communication and social media: The Culture of the Social Media Crisis: Causes, Impact, Consequences. The book?s chapters will explore the cultural rise in prominence of the social media crisis, its unique characteristics, and its place in the broader academic field of crisis communication. This book project is under contract with University of Toronto Press and is anticipated to be published in 2025. Social media crises have caught organizations, prominent and everyday people, and public relations practitioners off-guard despite crisis communication being a subject of academic study for many decades. In recent years, we have seen a surge in social media crises, with controversies ranging from celebrity scandals to political conflicts to public health debates. Controversial posts are causing organizations to spend considerable resources dealing with social media threats to their reputations and, ultimately, bottom lines. High-profile individuals face mobs of users?some real, some bots?who demand real-world consequences for Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram posts that they don?t like. Even everyday people face reputational damage and job loss from social media posts that offend some group of social media users somewhere in the world. This edited collection will explore the nature, characteristics, and consequences of this new kind of crisis that originates on social media platforms. While crises in the ?real world? involving bodies, products, or the natural environment have been studied extensively, online crises rooted in language, image, and video remain relatively unexplored as a cultural phenomenon. Yet these situations can also cause significant damage to images, reputations, operations, and livelihoods. The editor seeks chapters that examine case studies and apply or develop theoretical approaches to understand what makes the social media crisis unique. In addition to the academic field of crisis communication proper, the editor welcomes perspectives from various disciplines, including but not limited to communication studies, cultural studies, management, political science, law, sociology, psychology, healthcare, and media studies. The following list offers possible topics to consider; however, it is by no means an exhaustive one, and submissions are welcomed on any aspect that falls within the scope of this book: * Online political divides, polarization, and tribalism * Conditions for the emergence of the social media crisis * How a paracrisis turns into a crisis * Public health/pandemic social media crises * Online debates over meaning and language that lead to a crisis * The role of bots in fomenting crisis situations * Old tweets that cause new problems * User attention to problematic social media content * Comparisons between the social media crisis and the offline crisis * The role of online mobs in crisis formation * The place of social media algorithms in online crisis development * Social media crises and the erosion of institutional trust * The debate over online cancel culture * Online outrage and crisis * Real-life consequences of social media crises as reasonable or overblown * Legal, regulatory, and ethical implications * The discursive nature of this kind of crisis (text, image, video) * The influence of a social media crisis on public perceptions and opinions * The role of social media influencers * Artificial intelligence in faking online crisis situations (Midjourney, ChatGPT etc.) This edited collection will provide new directions for researchers and emphasize recent case studies to illuminate theory. Please submit a CV and a chapter proposal of about 500 words to the editor, Duncan Koerber, at dkoerber at brocku.ca by December 15, 2023. Proposals should explain the overall argument or point of the chapter, describe the case(s) to be examined, outline the chapter?s sections, and explain the chapter?s connection to crisis communication theories and/or prior research. Authors will be notified of proposal acceptance by February 1, 2024. Full chapters of about 6000 words (excluding references) will be due by June 1, 2024. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am pleased to announce the publication of ?Beyond the Echo Chamber: The Tactical Use of Social Media in Social Movements,? a special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly (122:4), edited by Alex Khasnabish and Rhon Teruelle. This special issue focuses on the tactical and political uses of social media in struggles for radical social change. Pushing past the well-worn tropes of networks, filter bubbles, and echo chambers, contributors consider how social movements across the political spectrum are making use of the ?social web? in their change efforts and what consequences those efforts are having. Aspiring to enrich critical conversations about movements, social justice, free speech, and digital communication infrastructure, the authors ask, ?How are contemporary movements entering into these digital ecologies, and how are they being affected by them??

The Spiral Collective is pleased to announce its 2023 ?Spiral Talks? Lecture and Screening, free to the public ? Moment and Myth in the Philosophy of Film ? with Dr. Trevor Mowchun University of Florida ? DATE ? December 8, 2023 Talk: 5pm Screening: 7pm ? LOCATION ? Toronto Metropolitan University Image Arts Building (IMA), room 307 122 Bond Street, Toronto ? ? ? In this talk, Mowchun retrospectively identifies some of the underlying impulses that shaped the writing of his recent book, Metaphysics and the Moving Image, and its guiding intuition that, in film, the end of the Western tradition of metaphysics is confronted with the possibility of its transformative renewal, a renewal that may help to reverse the tradition?s ill-effects on our relationship with Being. The author questions why this idea is borne out almost exclusively through a corpus of narrative fiction films. While these films are shown to enact various disclosures of Being, along with the sense of concealment that never leaves the latter?s side, Mowchun wonders why the more obvious philosophical possibilities of avant-garde film never entered his radar of analysis, undergoing what appears to be a methodological denial in favour of the sense-making and identificatory systems of narrative film, even highly modernist films which challenge the integrity of these systems. To this end, the avant-garde film and its direct encounter with its subject matter (risking abstraction) will be tested against the book?s unconscious bias towards narrativity to see what it can offer a ?cine-metaphysics for a post-metaphysical age.? Depending on the results of this speculative addendum, the author will then decide if his original corpus of narrative films does not have something in common with the avant-garde after all, and if the revelatory moments he finds in them are not indicative of something deeper than any narrative: myth. Followed by a Screening and Discussion at 7pm. ? ? ? Program ?? NORTHSTARLING (Daniel Gerson & Trevor Mowchun, 2019, 16mm/digital, black and white, 13 min) A woman?s stream of consciousness quickens during the coldest time of year. The deep-freeze of winter is summertime for time itself. ?? DRINK SOME DARKNESS (Trevor Mowchun, 2020, digital, colour, 10 min) A sentient patch of projector-light leads the viewer through a liminal space fit with three doors, each its own microcosm of feeling, its own film within the film. Inspired by a poem of haunting revelation from the great Swedish poet, Tomas Transtr?mer. ?? UNMASTERED (Trevor Mowchun & Shaun Gamboa, 2023, digital, colour, 17 min) Three friends hold a formal discussion on a complex film character whose fractured and libidinal psyche inspires a journey into the unconscious realm of the film in which he appears. An ?unmastering? of the cinematic masterpiece and the intellectual discourses that become its slave. ?? FIBONACCI PRIVACY FENCE (Trevor Mowchun, 2023, digital, color, 15 min) When I was in high school, no matter how hard I tried I was always terrible at math. I could never grasp the fundamentals well enough to perceive any kind of creative opening or spark in the severity of the work. One step after another, each more obscure to me than the last. I suppose I was not inclined to solve abstract problems that I couldn?t clearly envision or relate to. Perhaps my teachers were to blame. Anyways, for all that time and energy spent on a system or language (which is it?) I will likely never understand, I hereby exact my poetic revenge! ?? DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY (Trevor Mowchun, digital, in progress) When the class ends the students peacefully file out. The tired teacher is the last to leave. He passes through empty hallways with no sign of the students he tried to teach, nor the few who managed to teach him something. On the way to the parking lot, he crosses paths with other students from other classrooms. Were all these classes as predictable as this route? A film exploring the physical movements, rhythms, and possible aftershocks of a life of the mind we call the university. ? ? ? Trevor Mowchun is Assistant Professor and Director of Film and Media Studies at University of Florida. He is the author of Metaphysics and the Moving Image: ?Paradise Exposed? (Edinburgh University Press, 2023). Some of his film writing can be described as experimental, making use of diaries, diagrams, aphorisms, and marginalia. This is consistent with his work as an experimental filmmaker in films such as World to Come (2015) and Drink Some Darkness (2020). ? ? ? The event is organized by The Spiral Collective in collaboration with: The Communications Program, Glendon Campus, York University School of Image Arts, Toronto Metropolitan University Spiral is a Toronto-based collective dedicated to exploring intersections of film, media, and philosophy with a special interest in issues and themes of political resistance and aesthetic dissonance. spiralfilmphilosophy at gmail.com spiralfilmphilosophy.ca Facebook [Mowchun - Talk.jpeg] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In addition to our venerable PhD program, we offer two distinctive MA curricula: our two-year thesis-based MA program trains students in academic communication research and our 16-month, project-based curriculum teaches communication research for social change. The School?s PhD program admits a small number of talented researchers each year to work closely with our faculty while undertaking rigorous training in the critical foundation of communication theory, political economy, policy, the study of culture and media, and technology and data studies. MA applicants have the option to pursue thesis-based training in academic communication research or project-based training in communication research for social change. Students in our thesis-based curriculum normally take four courses over two terms and conduct research leading to the MA thesis. Students in our communication research for social change curriculum work closely with faculty to produce projects aimed at understanding and confronting pressing social problems, often through collaboration with communities and progressive organizations. MA projects may entail a variety of media forms, including audio, apps, film and video, performance, print, social media, and web sites, among other forms. The program culminates with a symposium in which students present and discuss their project and its outcomes with their peers, supervisors, and others. The School of Communication celebrates its 50th anniversary this year; our legacy of critical and impactful research and teaching is one of our ongoing strengths and a defining feature of our graduate programs. Applications to our PhD program are due by January 9, 2024. Applications to our MA program are due February 15, 2024.

Montreal. How have Gramscian categories been appropriated in our global context and how do they continue to be relevant for the contemporary moment? With the spread of his ideas throughout the world, the name of Antonio Gramsci has acquired an impressively wide range of uses and meanings. Building on the experience of Rethinking Gramsci 2023, this year's edition explores the reception and interpretation of Gramscian insights around the globe. It did not take long for Gramsci?s innovative interpellation of orthodox Marxism to transcend its original context and gain centrality within what would become Western Marxism. The reception of his ideas among the English Marxists, for example, helped to give shape to the cultural Marxism of figures like Raymond Williams and Stuart Hall. Furthermore, Gramscian ideas formed the foundation of Neo-Marxist thought and practice, as expounded in seminal works like Mouffe and Laclau?s Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. Subaltern scholars from South Asia, for their part, imbued Gramsci?s concept of the subaltern with new connotations and applications, while postcolonial thinkers gave regional inflections to his legacy and re-signified it within their own particular struggles. Rethinking Gramsci 2024: Global Perspectives on Gramsci intends to explore the myriad uses and meanings of Gramsci from various perspectives and contexts throughout the world. We encourage theoretical and empirical approaches from any number of possible standpoints, be they academic, practical, or artistic. The conference will be held in hybrid mode from May 8th to May 10th 2024. The in-person talks will be at the Istituto di Cultura Italiana, in Montreal, Canada.

Suggested themes: - The Global Subaltern Question - Machiavellian Gramsci: Coercion and Consent - Hegemonies / counter-hegemonies today - Traditional / Organic Intellectuals - Culture and politics - Praxis, Resistance and Social movements Repenser Gramsci 2024 Perspectives globales sur Gramsci Du 8 au 10 mai 2024. Montr?al. Comment les id?es d?Antonio Gramsci ont-elles ?t? appropri?es dans le monde et en quoi demeurent-elles encore pertinentes aujourd?hui? Avec sa diffusion mondiale, la pens?e gramscienne a fait l?objet d?un ?ventail impressionnant de mobilisations qui l?ont investi de multiples significations. En s?appuyant sur l??dition pr?c?dente du colloque, Repenser Gramsci fournit l?occasion l?occasion d?une exploration collective des multiples r?ceptions et interpr?tations des ?crits de Gramsci ? travers le monde. Il n?a pas fallu longtemps pour que le projet gramscien d?une r?novation radicale du ? marxisme orthodoxe ? transcende son contexte d'origine et gagne en importance au sein de ce qui allait devenir le ? marxisme occidental ?. La r?ception de ses id?es par l??cole de Birmingham a contribu?, par exemple, ? donner forme ? un ? marxisme culturel ? profond?ment original, sous l?impulsion de personnalit?s telles que Raymond Williams ou Stuart Hall. La pens?e gramscienne se trouve, en outre, au fondement de th?ories et de pratiques ? postmarxistes ?, telles qu?expos?es dans l?ouvrage s?minal d?Ernesto Laclau et Chantal Mouffe intitul? H?g?monie et strat?gie socialiste. Des chercheurs du champ des ? subaltern studies ? en Asie du Sud ont, pour leur part, attribu? de nouvelles connotations au concept gramscien de ? subalternit? ?. Les ?tudes postcoloniales (et d?coloniales) ont quant ? elles effectu? une op?ration de traduction de l?h?ritage gramscien dans le cadre des luttes propres aux pays du ? Sud ?. Le colloque Repenser Gramsci 2024 : perspectives globales sur Gramsci se propose alors de discuter de toutes les formes d?appropriation pass?es ou actuelles de la pens?e gramscienne. Toutes les contributions th?oriques ou empiriques, que celles-ci soient de nature acad?mique, politique ou artistique, sont les bienvenues. La conf?rence se tiendra en mode hybride du 8 au 10 mai 2024. Les conf?rences en pr?sentiel auront lieu ? l'Istituto di Cultura Italiana, ? Montr?al, au Canada. Nous acceptons actuellement des propositions de communication. Veuillez envoyer un r?sum? titr? (max. 500 mots), une courte biographie et des mots-cl?s ? rethinkinggramsci at gmail.com avant le 1er f?vrier. Les r?sum?s peuvent ?tre r?dig?s en fran?ais ou en anglais. Pour plus d?informations sur nos projets, veuillez consulter notre site web rethinkinggramsci.com.

This interdisciplinary symposium seeks presenters working broadly at the intersection of legal and media studies. More details provided below and at https://www.lteclab.com/post/symposium-workshop-the-law-of-giving ================================================================ ????????????????????????????????????????????????Call for Papers Symposium and Workshop June 25-27, 2024 University of Windsor (Ontario, Canada) The Law of Giving: An Interdisciplinary Inquiry into the Ecosystem and Legal Implications of Crowdfunding and Personal Donation Platforms Deadline to submit abstract for paper: January 12, 2024 (3:00 pm EST) Submit abstracts here: https://uwindsor.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d0DLSwygYnXvKEm Symposium & Workshop Synopsis Crowd funding and personal donation platforms raise a constellation of issues that have garnered relatively little attention. Donation platforms such as GoFundMe or KickStarter operate multi-million-dollar businesses. This reality, alongside the several multimedia tactics that are deployed to seduce potential donors may not be transparent to them. In addition, personal donors? data can be highly sensitive information when it relates to political affiliations, religious beliefs, or is connected to oppressed minority groups at the local level or through foreign governments or organizations. And yet, organizations that initiate and benefit from donation campaigns may not be subject to the personal data protection laws when such laws apply to commercial activities only. When leaked or made accessible to government authorities or employers, personal donations can lead to drastic measures including law enforcement freezing of bank accounts, or loss of employment. As such, personal donations raise fundamental human rights issues, the regulation of which deserves particular attention and scrutiny. More broadly, the political, economic, and cultural impact of crowd funding and personal donation platforms invites a deeper critical and interdisciplinary engagement. The Symposium aims to bring together scholars from diverse disciplines, including law, communication and media studies, sociology, anthropology, economics, business, and political science, to reflect on the multifaceted dynamics of crowd funding and personal donation platforms and practices shaped by an evolving ecosystem of platforms, devices, data collection practices, political climates, social norms, fundraiser needs, donor motivations, and regulatory frameworks. Zones of inquiry include the following: * What incites personal donors to give, and what are their perceptions with respect to ventures, causes, political movements calling for fundraising? * What is the personal donor in law? (i.e. the nature of the transactions performed, privacy and personal data implications, legal protections against deception and fraud, tax treatment incentives, among other considerations). * When does a personal donor become an investor? * How are communication, social media, digital platforms (GoFundMe, Kickstarter, etc..) impacting personal donations both from the perspective of fundraisers and personal donors? * What are the social dynamics and cultural factors that influence the success of crowdfunding campaigns? * What types of industries (creative, cultural, educational, healthcare etc.) or causes (humanitarian, emergency relief, political, etc.) resort to personal donations and what are considerations specific to each of those industries or causes? * What are the opportunities and pitfalls for inventors and start-up companies resorting to crowdfunding and online donation platforms to subsidize the development of their new technology or product? * What are the narratives, tools, methods deployed by fundraisers? When are such narratives justifiable and laudable, and when are they deceptive, misleading, or fraudulent? * What is the level of accountability and transparency to which fundraisers, digital donation platforms and other intermediaries are or should be subject to? * Is there a need for greater protection of donors? good will and more generally of the public? * How do governments support some fundraisers (e.g. tax breaks, interests in charity reliance, etc.) and ban others? (e.g. security surveillance, banking and finance regulation, criminal sanctions) * ?What should the extent of state control be over eligible causes for tax purposes and proscribed ones? * What are the human rights implications (e.g. potential discrimination, constraints on right of association, liberty) of such government regulations? The Symposium and Workshop?s main goal is to further develop a research agenda in this area of study through the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach, gathering researchers across different disciplines and with different perspectives to address these challenging and critical questions. The selected participants will be invited to contribute to a book project / collection of essays to be published in a leading academic journal/press. ================================================================= Dr. Vincent Manzerolle Associate Professor | Undergraduate Program Chair Department of Communication, Media & Film University of Windsor ---------------------------- Fall 2023 Office Hours: Thursdays 2:30 - 4:30 Location: 4113 Lambton Tower -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hosted by the University of Canterbury, the conference welcomes submissions in the fields of media and communication research from now until 7 February 2024. The central theme for 2024 is "Whiria te t?ngata / Weaving people together: Communicative projects of decolonising, engaging, and listening," inspired by a M?ori proverb about strength through common purpose. IAMCR invites abstracts for its various thematic sections and working groups, as well as for two special segments: Flow34 and Pitopito k?rero. Flow34 focuses on academic audio/visual work, such as podcasts and videos that creatively integrate academic and aesthetic dimensions. Meanwhile, Pitopito k?rero is a special strand for short videos on the conference theme. While most of the conference will be in-person only, Flow34 and Pitopito k?rero are open for members who cannot attend the event in Christchurch. The abstract submission system is now open, with a deadline set for 7 February 2024, at 23:59 UTC. Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words, with a maximum of two submissions per author. The Flow34 proposals consist of an academic description and a basic script of the audio/visual work, with a maximum length of 750 words. Pitopito k?rero has a different procedure for submissions The University of Canterbury, hosting the event, is renowned for its Media and Communication program, including M?ori strategic communication. Christchurch, the host city, is noted for its blend of colonial heritage and modern architecture, rebuilt following earthquakes a decade ago. The event will take place at Te Pae, a new conference centre on the banks of the Avon river.

The conference will take place June 12-14 at McGill University as part of the Congress for the Humanities and Social Sciences; there will also be an accessible and affordable online day of remote presentations preceding the official conference (on Saturday June 8). RhetCanada is a warm and welcoming association, and a great place to meet other folks working at the intersection of rhetoric and many other fields (pop culture, AI, policy, medicine, etc.). Our conference features plenary sessions and colloquial discussions to foster engagement and exchange of ideas between scholars and disciplines. We welcome papers on all aspects of rhetoric, in English or French. Submissions are due by January 20th, 2024.

Publication Date: December 5, 2023 Publisher: The MIT Press Pages: 514 Penguin Random House has made the book widely available. You can view it here at the MIT Press Bookstore. [https://images-us.bookshop.org/ingram/9780262544337.jpg?height=500&v=v2-4e402a90e83eebfb6cc1b982634a177d] Dispositif: A Cartography a book by Greg Bird and Giovanbattista Tusa bookshop.org Description: A groundbreaking anthology that places dispositifs (?apparatuses?) at the center of contemporary thought. Dispositif is one of the most prevalent yet elusive terms in contemporary thought. This comprehensive anthology brings together formative, seminal, and contemporary texts and visual applications to illuminate how central dispositifs are to contemporary theory. Greg Bird and Giovanbattista Tusa's selection and placement of critical texts invite readers to explore common themes and genealogies, different interpretations and readings, and their diverse deployments across multiple disciplines and genres by such figures as Karl Marx, Franz Kafka, Judith Butler, Martin Heidegger, Gilbert Simondon, Michel Foucault, Edward Said, Jasbir Puar, Donna Haraway, Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, Tiqqun, Claire Fontaine, and many others. Dispositif: A Cartography is a true toolbox for the development of technological ecology thinking that accounts for situated knowledge. This collection provides coordinates for reorienting oneself in a permanently changing world, offering possible roadmaps for navigating these profoundly uncertain times. More than just a compilation of interventions on the dispositif, this volume acts as a guide for understanding the complex interaction between technology, philosophy, and the languages of the arts and media. Request for Reviewers: If you or anyone in your circle would be interested in reviewing this book, please contact us. We will put the prospective reviewer in touch with our editors. Please don't hesitate to distribute this book announcement in your scholarly circles. We hope you get a chance to leaf through the book and, of course, enjoy it. All the best, Greg Bird & Giovanbattista Tusa.

Technologies ? Power ?Data in motion for a more-than-human world? Guest Editors: Katherine Reilly, Associate Professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University Gillian Russell, Assistant Professor in the School for Interactive Arts and Technology, Simon Fraser University Rachel Horst, PhD Candidate in Education, University of British Columbia Contact: kreilly at sfu.ca; gillianr at sfu.ca; rachel.horst at ubc.ca Keywords: Data and Abstraction, Environmental and Multispecies Studies, Method and Practice This special issue examines the mutual entanglements and fluid interfaces between data and embodiment by gathering papers that engage a more-than-human view of soma-data-techniques. The issue will problematize the notion of data as a driver of knowledge, a discoverable fact, a container of meaning, or a solidified agreement about what is assumed to be true about the world and embodiment. It seeks to overcome visions of data which suggest that knowledge is something discrete and unchanging, a butterfly pinned to a board, ready for inspection. We seek papers that engage in posthuman and relational approaches to data and that understand the world and bodies to be in constant motion and exchange. We position soma-data-techniques as relational processes, methods or practices of meaning making that offer more-than-human approaches to mediating the sensorium or ?regime of perception.? For example, a positivist approach to understanding the escalating problem of anthropogenic marine debris focuses on quantitative data - the counting and classifying of garbage found in and along the shores of oceans. Relational approaches, on the other hand, might seek to understand data-bodies, human and other than human, and the entanglements of desires, incorporating the somadata of feeling, sensing, and imagining marine plastics to transform behaviors and systems. Data from this view isn't about plastic but rather is plastic; just as our bodies are not discrete entities, but are becoming-plastic and enmeshed in relations with the ocean. Some concepts of interest to this volume include: The sensorium / placemaking Data bodies / Data embodiment The body-territory Sensual data Multi-species knowledge Sentipensar (feel-think) Aurality and data Data subjectivity Affective data Data surrogacy Sensory knowledge / Re-sensing Data literacies Epistemic meshworks Through novel thinking about these and other related concepts, this special issue takes an interdisciplinary look at the soma-data-techniques of information systems, research-creation, design, culture and knowledge production with a particular focus on human relationships to natural and built environments. We are particularly interested in papers that challenge social processes based in 'containment' views of data (such as data repositories, citizen science, open government, etc.) and papers that explore and experiment with alternative ways of 'doing data.' Submissions Instructions: Written explorations - 6000-7000 words including references. Practice-based or image-intensive papers - 2000-2500 words including references.
