Everything you wanted to know about sex .... ArtSci salon is proud to present 2 events exploring the entangled issues of sex and sexual fantasy, sexual reproduction and sexual regulation, fertility and sexual technologies. We invited artists and scholars to address these themes using their preferred approach: the result is a thought provoking series which interrogates and imagines these issues through human/non-human sexual fantasies, interrogates them by means of modified gynaecological instruments, rewrites potential scenarios as enhanced and/or elderly humans, or offers unexpected ways to hack sex right here, right now.Our goal is not just to imagine how media, technological enhancement, gene editing, and medical treatments will transform our idea of sex and our sexuality as human beings and as part of the wide non-human world that surrounds us. It is also to think of how creative/critical initiatives may facilitate a sustained dialogue to help us cope with unresolved issues in the present. Interdisciplinary so! The two events will be accompanied by an exhibition on display Oct 18-Nov.8 in the Koffler Students Centre Cabinets, University of Toronto Event #1 Voyeurs, spectators or pleasure seekers?

In the present? Oct 18- Nov 8 Koffler Students Centre SciArt Cabinets 214 College Street, Toronto, Opening Oct 27 4:00 pm The potentials of genome editing techniques have brought us predictions and critiques that couldn?t look any different: shiny, beautiful, perfect and disease-free prospects of life on the one hand, and a bleak, problematic, segregated, and battled future on the other. These are all projections that look at a maybe-not-so-distant future. But what about the present? In the exhibition ?edited?, four artists rethink the future by critically reflecting on the present. Focusing on themes revolving around sexual reproduction, fertility and sexual technologies, their artworks question unresolved issues in the present that we should address before launching ourselves into the future. Can we find interesting ways to draw attention to them and re-dress how they are currently treated through creative interventions? In addition to raising awareness about sexism, sexual rigidity and the medicalization of the body, each of these artworks suggests ways in which we might address, redress, hack and reimagine gynecological practice, hormonal management, human enhancement and sexual and cultural identity through the arts.

The discussion will be preceded by the official opening of an exhibition illustrating how present issues in gynaecology and sexual regulation, hormonal management, human enhancement and sexual and cultural identity may be addressed, redressed, hacked and reimagined through the arts. The Panel will be followed by a reception Note!? to attend this?event you must RSVP Bios Teresa Ascencao is a multimedia artist whose work toys with social constructs of body language, costume, and inner corporeal experiences. Her folk and pop inspired artworks employ concept-related mediums and technologies that invite audiences to play with iconographies and scenarios involving gender, seduction, consumption, and class. Teresa was born to Azorean parents in Sao Paulo, Brazil and immigrated to Canada at a young age. Her artworks, such as ?Her Pleasure, Her Desire, Remix,? and ?Consuming Her?, have been exhibited widely in Canada and internationally Roberta Buiani is an interdisciplinary artist, media scholar and curator based in Toronto. She is the co-founder of the ArtSci Salon at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences (Toronto) and a co-organizer of LASER Toronto. Her recent SSHRC-funded research creation project draws on feminist technoscience and on collaborative encounters across the sciences and the arts to investigate emerging life forms that exceed the categories defined by traditional methods of classification. She received her PhD in Communication and Culture from York University Andrew Carnie studied chemistry and painting at Warren Wilson College, North Carolina, then zoology and psychology at Durham University, before starting and finishing a degree in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, London. Andrew then completed his Masters degree in the Painting School, at the Royal College of Art. He has continued as a practicing artist ever since. In 2003 he was the Picker Fellow at Kingston University. His artistic practice often involves a meaningful interaction with scientists in different fields as an early stage in the development of his work. Samira Daneshvar is a lecturer at the School of Architecture, University of Miami. She holds a Master of Science from University of Michigan and Master of Architecture from University of Toronto. She joined the realm of architecture after five years of medical studies. Her research and design work is directed towards an interdisciplinary field of architecture and medical sciences.

Emmanuelle, St?phanie et Vincent -- Argument et probl?matique La derni?re d?cennie a ?t? marqu?e par un investissement croissant, ? l??chelle internationale, des m?dias socionum?riques par des groupes minoritaires et/ou marginalis?s dans les espaces politiques et m?diatiques dominants ? des fins d?information et de mobilisation publiques (Raynauld, Richez et al., 2018 ; Nemer, 2016). Ces groupes comprennent g?n?ralement des individus se trouvant dans des situations d?in?galit?s sociales ou politiques en raison de leur appartenance volontaire ou involontaire ? des communaut?s ou constituant des r?seaux et qui sont per?us de mani?re n?gative par la culture dominante (Coe, Bruce et al., 2017 ; Williams, 1998). De tels groupes utilisent ces m?dias afin de faire conna?tre ou avancer leur cause, recruter et mobiliser leurs alli?s, gagner la faveur des publics et de l?agenda politico-m?diatique ainsi que, dans certains cas, influencer directement les d?cisions politiques. Sur la sc?ne internationale, des mouvements tels que #Occupy et #BringBackOurGirls, les multiples manifestations des mouvements issus du Printemps Arabe, ainsi que, sur un autre registre, certains autres groupes de type cyber-sectaire, tel le Falun Gong, constituent des exemples probants de cette tendance. On peut ?galement penser ? la mise en visibilit? des luttes pour la reconnaissance des communaut?s autochtones au Canada qui utilisent le mot-clic #IdleNoMore, des populations afro-am?ricaines avec #BlackLivesMatter, ou encore des femmes qui, dans plusieurs pays, investissent le web avec les mots-clics #MeToo ou #BalanceTonPorc. Ainsi, divers groupes ou causes minoritaires et/ou marginalis?s qui souffraient jusqu?alors de quasi-invisibilit? dans des ar?nes m?diatiques et politiques conventionnelles ont investi les m?dias socionum?riques. De fait, ces derniers permettent de constituer des communaut?s et des r?seaux d?int?r?t de fa?on ?conomique (Van Laer and Van Aelst, 2009 ; 2010) en offrant ? des internautes ayant des buts et des id?aux similaires ou compl?mentaires, mais qui sont g?ographiquement dispers?s, la possibilit? d?interagir de fa?on simple et rapide (Castells, 2012 ; Haggart, 2013 ; Karpf, 2010 ; Uldam, 2013). Cette mobilisation de leurs supporters peut s?accompagner du d?veloppement et du renforcement d?une identit? nouvelle bas?e sur des int?r?ts communs (Poell, Abdulla et al. 2016 ; Raynauld et al., 2017). Ces initiatives de mobilisation, qu?elles rel?vent de luttes politiques, sociales, identitaires, se caract?risent notamment par leur hybridit?. Elles sont en effet anim?es par des r?seaux d?activistes d?centralis?s et fragment?s se manifestant dans une multitude d?espaces physiques et une diversit? de dispositifs de communication num?riques (Granjon et al., 2017 ; Raynauld, Lalancette et al., 2016 ; Sedda 2015). Elles reposent ainsi sur une forme d?activisme qui, le plus souvent, ne respecte pas les formes de hi?rarchie ?tablies dans des organisations plus traditionnelles (Bennett, Segerberg et al., 2014 ; Richaud, 2017). Finalement, les m?dias socionum?riques peuvent offrir aux r?seaux militants un plus grand contr?le sur la structure, le contenu et la circulation de leur message puisqu?ils se situent en p?riph?rie de la zone d?influence des ?lites politiques et m?diatiques ?tablies (Uldam, 2013 ; Raynauld, Richez et al., 2018). Dans certains cas, ils permettent de r?duire la menace de r?pression de la part des acteurs politiques dominants (Castells, 2012). Enfin, ces m?dias socionum?riques peuvent parfois agir comme levier et exercer une pression sur les institutions plus traditionnelles, les conduisant ? effectuer des changements politiques (Fenton, 2016). N?anmoins, les mobilisations en ligne sont souvent soup?onn?es de favoriser un engagement distant pouvant conduire leurs participants ? d?laisser des formes plus co?teuses ? mais plus efficaces ? d?actions collectives en face-?-face (Morozov, 2013) ou fond?es sur des op?rations directement destin?es aux m?dias de masse. D?s lors, m?me si l?action collective sur Internet offre des avantages par rapport ? celle men?e dans la rue, la l?gitimit? de cette forme d?action comme ses effets politiques concrets demeurent sujets ? controverses (Halupka, 2014). En outre, ?tudier ce type de mobilisation repr?sente un d?fi m?thodologique particulier. Puisque les groupes se mobilisent en ligne et hors ligne simultan?ment, il est souvent difficile d?isoler les effets pr?cis de leurs diff?rentes actions. Parall?lement, il faut noter que les ?tudes s?int?ressent massivement au r?seau social Twitter au d?triment d?autres plateformes du web qui peuvent ?galement constituer des lieux d??laboration et de coordination des contestations. Axes Ce num?ro th?matique propose une analyse examinant trois axes des pratiques num?riques de communication et d?engagement politique animant diff?rents mouvements, qu?elles aient un objectif ?conomique, identitaire ou social. Les coordinateur(trice)s de ce num?ro th?matique souhaitent mettre en lumi?re comment les groupes minoritaires et/ou marginalis?s prennent avantage des m?dias socionum?riques et si leurs usages diff?rent de ceux qu?en font les groupes majoritaires. Les effets internes de la contestation en ligne Ce num?ro th?matique se penche tout d?abord sur la structure et la manifestation des initiatives de contestation en ligne. De mani?re plus sp?cifique, il examine la mani?re avec laquelle les membres des groupes minoritaires et/ou marginalis?s utilisent les m?dias socionum?riques afin de faire circuler l?information politique de mani?re rapide et multidirectionnelle (souvent en r?action ? des d?veloppements sur la sc?ne politique), de mettre en branle et coordonner des actions politiques ayant un impact cibl? ou plus large. Plusieurs aspects peuvent ?tre affect?s par cette dynamique, dont la connaissance des enjeux civiques ou politiques des membres du public, le degr? de mobilisation politique, ainsi que l?appartenance ou reconnaissance identitaire. Bien que plusieurs facettes de cet axe aient fait l?objet d??tudes au cours des cinq derni?res ann?es (e.g. Granjon et al., 2017 ; Raynauld, Lalancette et al., 2016 ; Raynauld, Richez et al., 2018), des travaux compl?mentaires pourraient ?tre b?n?fiques puisque la communication et l?engagement politique num?rique sont des domaines d?activit? en constante ?volution. Impact des mouvements de contestation en ligne sur les ?lites sociales et politiques En second lieu, ce num?ro th?matique s?int?resse aux effets des mouvements de contestation en ligne sur les dynamiques politiques formelles comme les d?bats publics, les processus de formulation de politiques ainsi que les autres pratiques de participation conventionnelle. Les actions fond?es sur les plateformes socionum?riques peuvent-elles avoir un impact sur les capacit?s des mouvements politiques de se faire entendre par les ?lites sociales et politiques ainsi que d?influencer leurs prises de positions et leur processus d?cisionnel ? Contrairement au premier axe, tr?s peu d??tudes ont ?t? men?es sur ce sujet au cours des derni?res ann?es si on excepte l??tude de Freelon, McIlwain et Clark (2018) qui proposent une ?valuation quantitative de l?influence politique des initiatives de contestation en ligne ayant une pr?sence forte sur les m?dias socionum?riques, ou celle de McDonald, Nardi et Tomlinson (2017) qui porte sur la r?ception par les politiciens des messages en ligne provenant de citoyen(ne)s am?ricain(e)s Limites et probl?mes li?s ? la contestation en ligne Finalement, le num?ro th?matique jette un regard critique sur les limites et les probl?mes potentiels des dynamiques de contestation en ligne pour les groupes minoritaires et/ou marginalis?s. Classiquement, certaines personnes ne poss?dent pas le savoir ou les aptitudes techniques n?cessaires pour les utiliser de mani?re efficace ou ne b?n?ficient pas des outils techniques n?cessaires ou d?un acc?s ? Internet ad?quat (Min, 2010). D?s lors, se mobiliser en ligne, a fortiori si on fait partie d?un groupe marginalis?, requiert-il des comp?tences sp?cifiques ? En quoi de telles actions diff?rent-elles de celles d?ploy?es lors d?actions collectives plus traditionnelles ? Participer en ligne conduit-il vraiment ? d?laisser des modes d?action plus traditionnels ? Les coordinateur(trice)s de ce num?ro sp?cial sont int?ress?(e)s ? analyser comment ces limites se concr?tisent et si l?on peut chercher ? les d?passer. Il est ? noter que l??tude de l?utilisation des m?dias socionum?riques ? des fins d?engagement politique et civique et ses effets sur les processus politiques font ?galement face ? des d?fis m?thodologiques, tel que d?montr? dans les travaux de Gonzales-Quijano (2012) ainsi que dans un num?ro de R?seaux portant sur le ? Militantisme en r?seau ? (2013). L??quipe d??diteur(trice)s qui sont bas?s dans ses institutions universitaires au Canada, en France, ainsi qu?aux ?tats-Unis est ? la recherche de chercheur(e)s souhaitant contribuer un texte s?inscrivant dans les axes d??tude susmentionn?s. Les ?tudes portant sur la mobilisation en ligne, plus particuli?rement sur des m?dias socionum?riques (ex. : Facebook, YouTube, Instagram) sont d?un int?r?t particulier dans le cadre de ce num?ro sp?cial. En effet, peu de travaux ont ?t? effectu?s sur ce domaine de recherche jusqu?? pr?sent. Nous sommes ?galement int?ress?(e)s par des contributions comportant un terrain d?observation, tel des entrevues ou une ethnographie participante. Enfin, nous recherchons des ?tudes comparatives permettant l?identification et l?analyse des diff?rences et des similitudes entre les diff?rents mouvements de contestation en ligne.

The position start date is July 1, 2019. The successful candidate must be a practicing writer who researches and teaches in the area of narrative nonfiction or nonfiction story. Narrative, as we think of it here, involves the application of tools and techniques developed mainly through fiction and the arts applied to the purposes of excellent journalistic nonfiction?that is, telling a true story with imaginative power, with expressive skill, and with solid research as a base. Specific areas of expertise may include journalistic writing, narrative as a research methodology, narrative and archival research, multi-media and web-based storytelling, digital innovation and narrative, or cross-cultural communication built around story. The successful candidate will be expected to mount an innovative, independent, competitive and externally funded research program, and will also bring theory and practice into their teaching within the Professional Writing and Communication program in the ICCIT. Candidates must have a PhD in communication, the literary arts, narrative-related arts, or journalism or related fields by the appointment start date (or shortly thereafter). Candidates must demonstrate an active and excellent writing practice and research program that involves the role of narrative in communication; an emerging reputation in narrative with demonstrated ability to attract external research funding; and a good publication record in top-ranked and field relevant journals. Evidence of excellence in teaching (including a teaching dossier outlining experience and accomplishments, a statement of teaching philosophy, sample syllabi, and teaching evaluations, as well as strong letters of reference) is also required. The successful candidate will have a graduate appointment in one of the University of Toronto's tri-campus graduate departments.

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

In the process, it explores the history of Quebec cinema, charting how the government supports that exist today came into existence through an intense lobbying effort on the part of filmmakers. Further, the author describes how cultural bureaucrats colluded with filmmakers to force the government?s hand, and outlines the effects of this legislative process on Quebec?s English-speaking filmmakers. This volume arises from the author?s analysis of voluminous provincial, federal, association, and personal archival sources and also draws on interviews with key figures. The archival sources describe the development over 23 years of provincial structures and policies that try to accommodate the cultural and economic needs of a young, emerging film industry. The result is a book that casts new light on the early events in the cultural life of modern Quebec. CONSTANCE DILLEY, formerly known as Connie Tadros, was administrator of Cin?ma Qu?bec magazine and of the Association des producteurs de films du Qu?bec in the 1970s. Between 1975 and 1989, she was the editor-in-chief of Cinema Canada magazine. She has a master?s degree in social work, and a PhD in communication and culture from York University. She has also worked in both national and international non-governmental associations.

School of Creative and Performing Arts, University of Calgary Calgary, Alberta, CANADA July 4 ? 7, 2019 Extreme fluctuation is a basic aspect of life in Calgary. Situated between the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the plains of the Prairies, nestled in the bed of the powerful Bow River, Calgary?s landscape is perhaps the most visible manifestation of this characteristic. An elastic and resilient ecosystem is demanded of an environment where springtime flooding is followed by prolonged draught and wildfires in the summer, and where winter chinooks can result in 30-degree temperature fluctuations in a single day. This reality is well known to the region?s indigenous population, while settler cultures continue to acclimatize. The economy, political imagination, educational systems, professional opportunities, and performing arts industry follow a comparable pattern of highs and lows, fluctuating between plenty and scarcity. It is with growing concern that we recognize this defining pull to extremes reflected on a far larger scale in global environmental, political, economic, and humanitarian contexts. As polar oppositions continue to intensify, with ever fewer checks and balances in place, we invite the PSi community to address the demands that extreme fluctuation places on the elasticity of connective tissues/processes, as well as the available modes of response. Elasticity involves the ability to be shaped by an external force and to return to an original configuration if that force is removed. It refers to the adaptability and plasticity of networked connections, and although elastic tissue has a snapping point, it is far more resilient than inflexible materials. We call for proposals of panels, papers, performance presentations and workshops involving scholarly and creative reflection on the subject of elasticity as it applies to a wide range of performance studies topics, areas and contexts. These include, but are not limited to: - The performance of resource-sharing, from the transfer of nutrients in root systems to alternative forms of social organization - Modes of resistance, resilience and revision within social, political, cultural and artistic dynamics - Collaboration as adaptation in social and artistic organizational structures and processes - Elasticity as personal, cultural and/or creative strategy - Creative strategies and techniques that enhance neuroplasticity and their transferability to other domains - The elasticity of negotiations between artist/performer and the public - Performance space as a malleable factor, both for artist and public - Indigeneity, reconciliation and performance - Productive economies and creative practice - Networking places, performers and audiences - Cultural policies and global impacts - How spaces, environments and climates shape social, political, cultural and artistic performance - Design as the ?stage? for elasticity, resilience, recovery ? the return from ?breaking points? FORMATS We welcome proposals that demonstrate conceptual and/or formal elasticity ? that is, which respect and reflect but also adapt and extend the established practices of traditional conference proceedings. Individuals and groups are invited to submit proposals within the following formats: Papers: 20 minutes individual presentations (may involve performance elements requiring minimal technical support) Panels: 90 minute curated sessions involving 3-4 pre-selected individual paper presentations (or the collaborative equivalent; may involve performance elements requiring minimal technical support) Performances: 60 minute individual or group sessions, presentational and/or immersive/participatory in nature, involving modest performance technical support within a studio/rehearsal hall configuration. Can involve an optional, integrated lecture component. Workshops: 60-90 minute individual or group sessions, facilitating experiential knowledge. Alternate Formats: 20-90 minute individual and/or group sessions adopting alternate, site-specific and/or experimental approaches. Venues and support are to be negotiated with the conference organizers. Proposals should be maximum 300 words in length, in addition to the following information: Name(s) of presenters Geographic location Institutional affiliation (if any) Email address and phone number(s) Technical and venue support required/requested (as detailed as possible) Short Bio(s) for each presenter (maximum 50 words each) Please note: while the final abstracts will be published in both English and the original language of participants, we request that proposals be submitted in English. The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 5th, 2018. Please send all proposals to psi25calgary@ucalgary.ca, indicating your choice of presentation format in the subject title (for instance, ?ALTERNATIVE? or ?PAPER?).

Our program has two streams: a Texts and Cultures stream and a Curatorial Practices stream. Both programs take one year to complete on a full-time basis, two years to complete on a part-time basis. The Texts and Cultures stream introduces students to a broad and interdisciplinary range of models, approaches, and ways of knowing across six key areas: Cultural Theory; Cultures of Childhood; Genders, Sexualities, and Cultures; Local, National, and Global Cultures; Manuscript, Print, and Digital Cultures; and Visual Cultures. The core Concepts in Cultural Theory course is strongly recommended for students in this stream. The Curatorial Practices stream provides the benefits of an academic training in cultural studies with practical training oriented to the professional aspects of gallery and museum work. Students in this stream select from the roster of courses included under the umbrella of Texts and Cultures but are also required to take two additional courses tailored specifically to Curatorial Practices: The History of Museums and Collecting, and a Practicum in Curatorial Studies. A course in Research Methods and Practice is required in both streams. Students in the one-year, full-time program typically take three courses in the Fall term, three courses in the Winter term, and two courses in the Spring term. Students registered in the Curatorial Practices stream generally complete their practicum in the Fall and Winter terms. Our MA cohorts are generally small and there are opportunities to connect with other University of Winnipeg groups such as the Cultural Studies Research Group, the Critical Race Network, the Centre for Research in Cultural Studies (CRiCS), and the Centre for Research in Young People?s Texts and Cultures (CRYTC). The M.A. Program in Cultural Studies is offered at the University of Winnipeg main campus, located in the heart of Winnipeg?s downtown arts precinct and within walking distance of the Exchange District, one of the most thriving contemporary art scenes in Canada. All applicants are considered for an entrance scholarship. Through the University of Winnipeg Graduate Assistantship (UWGA) program, many M.A. students are employed as Research Assistants to faculty in various departments, including English; Geography; History; Rhetoric, Writing, and Communication; and Women?s and Gender Studies. Students are nevertheless encouraged to apply for external awards such as provincial scholarships (e.g. the Manitoba Graduate Scholarship) and the SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship. Graduates from our program have gone on to pursue doctoral studies and launched professional careers in museums, galleries, and archives as well as a variety of profit and non-profit companies and organizations. For more information, see our website here: UW Cultural Studies. Or contact Dr. Doris Wolf, Graduate Program Coordinator, at CulturalStudiesMA@uwinnipeg.ca. We acknowledge that the University of Winnipeg is on Treaty One territory and the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the M?tis Nation.

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

Hi all, I am really happy to announce my new book Internet Daemons: Digital Communications Possessed published by University of Minnesota Press. I've copied details below, but the book will be of interest to those concerned with the politics of infrastructure, algorithmic/AI accountability, piracy and as well as network neutrality and its history. Also, it includes a sweet drawing of Oliver Selfridge's Pandemonium architecture by Eisner-nominated illustrator John Martz (seriously the world need a better drawing and soon to be shared under a CC license). You can learn more about the book at: http://www.internetdaemons.com/ (check out the playlist) Thanks to the awesomeness of UMP and Concordia, the book is open access at: https://manifold.umn.edu/projects/internet-daemons Thanks again Internet Daemons A complete history and theory of internet daemons brings these little-known-but very consequential-programs into the spotlight. About Internet Daemons We're used to talking about how tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon rule the internet, but what about daemons? Ubiquitous programs that have colonized the Net's infrastructure-as well as the devices we use to access it-daemons are little known. Fenwick McKelvey weaves together history, theory, and policy to give a full account of where daemons come from and how they influence our lives-including their role in hot-button issues like network neutrality. Going back to Victorian times and the popular thought experiment Maxwell's Demon, McKelvey charts how daemons evolved from concept to reality, eventually blossoming into the pandaemonium of code-based creatures that today orchestrates our internet. Digging into real-life examples like sluggish connection speeds, Comcast's efforts to control peer-to-peer networking, and Pirate Bay's attempts to elude daemonic control (and skirt copyright), McKelvey shows how daemons have been central to the internet, greatly influencing everyday users. Internet Daemons asks important questions about how much control is being handed over to these automated, autonomous programs, and the consequences for transparency and oversight. Endorsements Beneath social media, beneath search, Internet Daemons reveals another layer of algorithms: deeper, burrowed into information networks. Fenwick McKelvey is the best kind of intellectual spelunker, taking us deep into the infrastructure and shining his light on these obscure but vital mechanisms. What he has delivered is a precise and provocative rethinking of how to conceive of power in and among networks." -Tarleton Gillespie, author of Custodians of the Internet "Internet Daemons is an original and important contribution to the field of digital media studies. Fenwick McKelvey extensively maps and analyzes how daemons influence data exchanges across Internet infrastructures. This study insightfully demonstrates how daemons are transformative entities that enable particular ways of transferring information and connecting up communication, with significant social and political consequences." -Jennifer Gabrys, author of Program Earth Best, Fenwick McKelvey http://www.fenwickmckelvey.com Associate Professor, Communication Studies, Concordia University Director of the Algorithmic Media Observatory http://www.amo-oma.ca/en/ Member of the Center for the Study of Democratic Citizenship http://csdc-cecd.ca/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Members of the public are capturing dramatic events around the world and then sharing them, not only on social media platforms, but with professional news media organizations which are eagerly incorporating posts, tweets and images into professionally produced news stories. The presence of amateur content in news discourses is a growing phenomenon that is reshaping the profession of journalism, news coverage and public expectations. The issues raised by these practices often involve tensions between labour precarity and professionalism, entertainment and evidence, centralized and decentralized management of news rooms, traditional and emerging forms of social media news narratives, truth and immediacy. The symposium will bring together scholars and practitioners to share ideas and experiences in connection with the utilization of UGC in professional news coverage. The *keynote speaker on May 23 *will be *Dr. Lilie Chouliaraki*, from the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Andrea Slane, PhD "Protecting Vulnerable Humans in the Emerging Era of Robot Companions" Popular culture is filled with examples of companion robots that not only embody the best of human qualities, but indeed exceed them: they are unflappably loyal, steadfast, trustworthy, and brave; they are often charming, sweet, cute. Companion robots for the consumer market are an emerging technology that has not yet lived up to the fantasy. However, other home and personal use technologies are becoming more commonplace: digital assistants, like Amazon's voice-oriented Alexa, and text-based chatbots, like Mitsuko and Replika, are sure to converge to eventually produce a companion robot for home use that is capable of sustained, personalized, AI-powered conversation. What's missing from this future is a clear picture of how the various functions that home-use personal robots can perform to be monetized. While consumer-grade robots are being marketed according to projections of their eventual capabilities, the missing business models make it difficult to ensure that the interests of users who take up the promise of robot companionship will be protected. Drawing on existing models for assigning responsibility for the well-being of vulnerable people, this talk considers how to protect users when robots - or robot platform proprietors -- become personal information custodians, fiduciaries, or confidentes.

Steven Downing, PhD "Pains of imprisonment in a "lock em' up" video game: exploring peacemaking discourse through gaming" An extremely limited body of literature has considered video game portrayals of the prison experience. This inquiry examines the game Prison Architect, with respect to how its interactive experience has the potential simultaneously portray and problematize pains of imprisonment, and how these portrayals may prompt a public discourse surrounding prison, particularly from a peacemaking perspective, even if the game itself does not incorporate concepts such as restorative justice. Drawing from game developer video diaries, this inquiry links pains of imprisonment in Prison Architect to the broader societal discourse surrounding rationales for incarceration (i.e., retribution, incapacitation, and rehabilitation) and considers implications for prison themed games, particularly those such as simulation games that afford players a broad degree of freedom, as vehicles through which to engage the public in discourse about prison that can adopt a more human-centered, peace-oriented approach.

You can download the comic for free on their website: https://thedigitalpress.org/2018/11/15/book-release-the-beast-making-a-living-on-a-dying-planet/ I commissioned and helped develop ?The Beast? as tool to explore and critically reflect on the tropes of the tar/oil sands debate as well as have a text which could be used as an entry point and supplemental text for teaching aspects of environmental communication/energy humanities. The Beast takes a critical look at the media war over the tar/oil sands debate and the endless struggle for the public?s imagination. The comic seeks to stoke a public debate on the incessant role of public relations campaigns on shaping the public perception of the tar/oil sands. These campaigns discourage thoughtful and nuanced discussion of the cost of tar/oil sans and, instead, for the public is forced to ?pick sides?: the environment or the economy; protestors or industry; live with or without oil. The graphic novel tells the story of two college grads, Callum and Mary, who find themselves negotiating a muddy path between environmental activism and having to live and work in a world driven by the resource-extractive industry. This digital academic edition brings together a collection of scholarly essays intended to further conversation and reflection about how energy resources and environmental resources are talked about and understood. This expanded digital Version includes the original published comic as well as four new critical essays by Patrick McCurdy (uOttawa), Kyle Conway (uOttawa), Tommy Wall (Carleton) and Chris Russill (Carleton), and Benjamin Woo (Carleton) along with an interview with Hugh Goldring and Patrick McCurdy. While the comic focuses on Alberta?s oil sands, The Beast addresses issues which are equally relevant to the oil fields of Texas and California to the Bakken shale which sees how these energy sources and the future of these resources are framed in the media matter. The newly released The Beast is available for free as a download at https://thedigitalpress.org/thebeast For more information or questions about the comic feel free to email me at pmccurdy@uottawa.ca or connect with me on Twitter: @pmmcc ------------------------------------------------- Patrick McCurdy, Ph.D. Associate Professor / Professeur agr?g?

We invite proposals for work in English or French from any disciplinary, interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary approach. Presentations can be in a variety of formats, including papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, film and video screenings, performance art pieces, exhibits, and cultural events. Proposals must be submitted through our online form in English or French. All presenters must pay 2019 membership dues to the association, as well as Congress and Conference Registration fees. To become a member of the SSA please register through our website. The deadline for submission is January 7, 2019. Sexuality Studies encompasses at least the following: * Intersectional interpretations of sexuality * Erotic rights to sexual health and education * Challenges to the heteropatriarchal state * Two-spirit and Indigequeer critiques (with acknowledgement to Thirza Cutland) * Queer inter/trans disciplinary pedagogies * Activist and artivist resistances, aesthetics and cultural production * Archives, ephemera, epistemologies, futures, optimisms * Sexual media and technology This year, Congress has chosen the theme, Circles of Conversation, envisioning "deep, two-way relationships between the university and the communities it serves... that will showcase creative critical engagements." The Sexuality Studies Association invites its members to think beyond this binary and imagine eccentric circles, abandoning the quest for a common centre in favour of intersections and juxtapositions across myriad arcs that invite contact without knowing fully the repercussions. We argue that eccentricity, rather than commonality, encourages impactful exchanges and disruptive conversations that lead to creative and erotic engagements with knowledge. Eccentric circles take us on paths that are pleasurable, dangerous and, ultimately, transformative. It provokes reflexive questions such as: * How can sex and sexuality inform the way we approach scholarship as an embodied, pleasurable practice? * How do sexuality scholars transgress binary logics of identity, knowledge and culture? * What are the ethical implications of doing scholarship with, about, and for sexually marginalized communities? * What sorts of innovative theoretical and methodological opportunities erupt when disciplinary traditions traverse each other? We encourage proposals that define and expand upon both the themes ?Circles of Conversation? and ?Eccentric Circles.? Submissions are welcome for individual presentations (max. 2 presenters, 20 minutes), panel sessions (max. 4 presenters, 75-90 minutes), workshops (3-5 presenters, 75-90 minutes), roundtables (3-5 presenters, 75-90 minutes), film or video screenings (either 15 minutes or 75 minutes), and artistic performances (either 15 minutes or 75 minutes). In particular, we invite indigenous perspectives on sexuality from international contexts, so that we may create eccentric circles across global communities and histories. The Sexuality Studies Association (SSA) is a scholarly association for scholars, artists, activists, and all community members who have an interest in the teaching and study of sex, sexuality, and gender diversity.

CONGR?S 2019 APPEL ? PROPOSITIONS UNIVERSIT? DE LA COLOMBIE BRITANNIQUE VANCOUVER | 2-4 JUIN 2019 Cercles excentriques Discours principal : Jamie Lee Hamilton ? l?occasion de notre r?union annuelle, organis?e dans le cadre du Congr?s des sciences humaines ? l?Universit? de la Colombie Britanique du 2 au 4 juin 2019, l?Association d??tudes de la sexualit? lance son appel ? proposition. Nous sollicitons les propositions en langue fran?aise ou anglaise de toute perspective disciplinaire, interdisciplinaire ou transdisciplinaire. Les communications peuvent ?tre pr?sent?es dans divers formats, notamment sous forme de conf?rences, de panels, d?ateliers, de tables rondes, de projections de films et de vid?os, de performances artistiques, d?expositions et d??v?nements culturels. Les propositions doivent ?tre soumises via notre formulaire en ligne en fran?ais ou en anglais. Tou.te.s les conf?rencier.?re.s doivent payer leur cotisation d?adh?sion de 2019 ? l'association, ainsi que les frais d'inscription au congr?s et ? la conf?rence. Pour devenir un membre de l?A?S, veuillez-vous inscrire via notre site Web. La date limite des soumissions est le 7 janvier 2019. Les ?tudes de la sexualit? comprennent au moins l?un des ?l?ments suivants : * Interpr?tations intersectionnelles de la sexualit? * Droits ?rotiques ? la sant? sexuelle et ? l??ducation * Critiques de l?h?t?ropatriarcat * Critiques bi-spirituelles et indigequeer (un concept de Thirza Cutland) * P?dagogies queer, inter-/trans- disciplinarit? * R?sistances par l?art et l?activisme, productions esth?tiques et culturelles * Archives, documents ?ph?m?res, ?pist?mologies, futurs, optimismes * M?dias sexuels et technologie Le Congr?s des sciences sociales et humaines a choisi pour th?me ? Cercles de conversation ?, invitant les participant.e.s ? s?int?resser ? ?la relation ?troite et bidirectionnelle qui unit les universit?s et leurs collectivit?s [?] afin de mettre en valeur les engagements critiques cr?atifs ?. L?A?S incite ses membres ? penser au-del? de cette logique binaire et ? abandonner la recherche d'un centre commun. Nous pr?f?rons la notion de ? cercles excentriques ? ? celle de conversation : il s?agit d?imaginer la mani?re dont d?innombrables arcs se juxtaposent et s?entrecoupent sans pour autant inviter au contact et/ou en conna?tre par avance toutes les r?percussions. Nous pensons que la notion d?excentricit?, bien plus que celle du ? commun ?, permet d?encourager l??change et les conversations perturbatrices, menant d?s lors ? des modalit?s de savoir li?es ? un engagement cr?atif et ?rotique. Les cercles excentriques nous m?nent sur des chemins agr?ables, dangereux et assur?ment transformateurs. Ils permettent d?envisager les pistes r?flexives suivantes : * Comment le sexe et la sexualit? peuvent-ils permettre de comprendre la recherche comme une pratique incarn?e et une source de plaisir ? * Comment les chercheur.e.s transgressent-il.le.s les logiques binaires d'identit?, de connaissance et de culture ? * Quelles sont les implications ?thiques de la recherche avec, sur et pour les communaut?s sexuellement marginalis?es ? * Quelles opportunit?s th?oriques et m?thodologiques innovantes deviennent possibles lorsque les traditions disciplinaires se croisent ? Nous encourageons les propositions de communications individuelles (maximum 2 conf?rencier.?res.s, 15-20 minutes), de panels pr?constitu?s (maximum 4 conf?rencier.?re.s, 90 minutes), les projections de films et de vid?os (15 ou 90 minutes) et les performances artistiques (15 ou 90 minutes). Nous sommes particuli?rement int?ress?.e.s par les perspectives autochtones sur la sexualit? ainsi que celles issues d?autres contextes internationaux : nous cherchons ? cr?er des cercles excentriques ? travers nos histoires et communaut?s mondiales. L?A?S est une association de recherche regroupant des chercheur.e.s, des artistes, des militant.e.s et d?autres membres de la communaut? qui s?int?ressent ? l?enseignement et ? l??tude du sexe, de la sexualit? et de la diversit? sexuelle. L?A?S vise ? favoriser l?interrelation entre les communaut?s de recherche, artistiques, et militantes au sens large, ainsi qu?? leur apporter mentorat et soutien.

Plusieurs de ces nouveaux espaces de recherche et de formation sont marqu?s par une forte interdisciplinarit?. Qu?en est-il de l??tude des politiques culturelles au Qu?bec et au Canada? Au Canada, les sciences des communications et les sciences politiques ont traditionnellement accord? une place importante ? la question. Est-ce toujours le cas? Quelle place accorde-t-on ? l??tude des politiques culturelles en sciences du loisir, en gestion des arts ou dans le domaine des industries cr?atives au Canada? L?objectif de cette conf?rence organis?e par le Centre d??tude en gouvernance est de faire le point sur la question et de prendre le pouls de la recherche en politique culturelle au Canada. Par ailleurs, l?objectif de cette conf?rence consiste ? offrir une plateforme interdisciplinaire afin que les chercheurs canadiens et qu?b?cois puissent se rencontrer et discuter de leurs travaux et int?r?ts de recherche. La conf?rence est ouverte ? tous les chercheur-e-s, incluant les ?tudiant-e-s du doctorat et de la ma?trise de tous les horizons disciplinaires. Nous invitons les chercheur-e-s ? proposer un projet de communication sur leurs travaux actuels.

Comit? organisateur : Jonathan Paquette, Universit? d?Ottawa Monica Gattinger, Universit? d?Ottawa Sharon Jeannotte, Universit? d?Ottawa Conference The Study of Cultural Policy in Canada April 11-12 2019, University of Ottawa Conference organized by the Cultural Policy Research Network, Centre on Governance, University of Ottawa. Everywhere around the world, the study of cultural policy has become increasingly institutionalized. Over the last twenty years, a number of new journals, research chairs, and programs of study have developed in the field. Most of these new academic spaces are characterized by a high degree of interdisciplinarity. How has the study of cultural policy developed in recent years in Canada and Quebec? Communication studies and political science have typically been the academic disciplines where cultural policy research has been the most active. Is this still the case? What place does cultural policy research occupy in disciplines such as leisure studies, arts management, or in the creative industries? The purpose of this conference organized by the Centre on Governance is to assess the current state of cultural policy research in Canada. This conference aims to offer a platform to help cultural policy researchers discuss their research programs and debate new ideas. This conference is opened to all researchers, including doctoral and masters? students. Researchers are invited to submit a proposal on their current research program. We hope to receive communications on national, provincial, and local cultural policies. Communications on international and comparative research are also welcomed. We also expect to receive communications focusing on cultural policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation, as well as communications focusing on the institutional, organizational and managerial aspects of cultural policy. Finally, researchers may also propose to deliver a paper on the state and evolution of cultural policy research in Canada. Prospective participants may submit a 200 words abstract for a 15-20 minutes presentation by email at jonathan.paquette@uottawa.ca by December 20th 2018. Contributions may be invited for a publication project after the conference.

It might then be assumed that the problem would go away if you would just stop talking about it or if you went away. ?Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life UnDisciplined is a graduate student conference for scholars whose modes of inquiry intersect the humanities, social sciences, sciences, technology, activism, and the arts. It is a space for sharing scholarly, artistic, and/or activist work that theorizes or reveals forces that shape human experiences. We invite scholars and artists whose work breaks down conventional divisions between disciplines, academia and activism, as well as theoretical critique and cultural production. As such, UnDisciplined brings together researchers focused on areas and fields, rather than disciplines and traditions, embracing research that poses problems and questions the disciplining of thought in academia. We invite submissions that transcend or crack disciplinary boundaries in theory and method, abstraction and enactment, so as to challenge, transform and illuminate the world around us. Thematically, thus, there are no restrictions to the range of topics that could be presented by students. For our fifth annual conference, we are accepting graduate work in the form of: scholarly presentations and papers, performances, workshops, and creative research projects (i.e. research-creation, or practice-based research). Applications are open until January 21st, 2019. Detailed instructions on how to apply can be found at undisciplined.ca. All questions should be directed to undisciplinedqueensu@gmail.com. UnDisciplined 2019 will take place Thursday, April 4th to Saturday, April 6th at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Queen?s University. Queen?s is situated on traditional Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee Territory, in Kingston, Ontario / Katarokwi. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The shift in terminology from ?public service broadcasting? to ?public service media? and ?public service communicators? (Bardoel and Lowe 2007) gestures towards myriad opportunities and challenges associated with the emergence of networked digital media. The music industries are experiencing a similar period of flux with the emergence of streaming and the switch from a commodity-based ownership approach to music engagement to an experience-based service approach (Wikstrom 2013). Public radio and its music programming have played important roles in the constitution of national and cultural identity (Berland 2009) and in broadcast radio?s convergence with, and/or transition to, the internet era, scholars have charted issues of regulating national music (or content) (O?Neill and Murphy 2012), examined connections between online public media and youth through music programming (B?langer 2005), and considered the political economy of Internet music radio (Wall 2004) as well as issues of diversity of music and the public good (Hendy 2000). Recent scholarly work by this symposium?s editors has devoted consideration to notable developments in the public radio and popular music sectors at a time when streaming music has become a dominant mode of music listening. Examples include studies of: public media?s relationships to independent music, podcasting, and taste cultures (Cwynar 2015a, 2015b, 2017); international public radio partnerships through music programming (Fauteux 2016, 2017a); and, the place of public radio and music within the context of budget cuts and precarious cultural labour (Fauteux 2017b). In light of these ongoing scholarly discussions, this special symposium intends to highlight the place and role of popular music within the context of public radio broadcasting and audio media, asking: what does a public service mandate or mission (?to serve the public?) mean for the circulation of popular music, particularly in an age of streaming music and digital public media? We welcome papers that engage with this overarching question and are particularly interested in the following themes: - Public radio, music, and networked digital media (the web, apps, and mobile media) - Public radio/media and its relationship to music genres. - Cultures of taste and distinction with respect to shifts in music programming and genres (from classical to jazz/adult contemporary to indie/alternative) - Public radio/media, music, and indie/independent culture/ethos/values/ideologies - Public radio, music, and curation (radio hosts, algorithms, social/digital media work) - Public radio/media and local or regional music scenes - Public radio and music in the context of institutional collaborations - Public radio and popular music in the Global South - The shift from public radio to public media and a reconsideration of ideas about national identity and/or borders with respect to popular music - The branding of public media institutions through the use of popular music - Historical studies of public radio and music While the above topics are of particular interest, we welcome submissions on any aspect of the broader public radio and music topic. Submissions for this symposium are due by March 1, 2019*.* Submitted manuscripts undergo a blind peer review. Manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central . Documents prepared in Microsoft Word are preferred and should conform to the stylistic guidelines of the American Psychological Association. Manuscripts should not exceed 6500 words (about 25 pages) and should include an abstract of no more than 100 words. In addition to the manuscript the author(s) should include a separate attachment with contact information.

Our application deadline is 1 February 2019. Now in its 31st year of existence, Concordia's PhD in Communication program is one of the first programs of its kind in Canada. Since 2017, we have also seen many changes, as our PhD program achieved administrative independence and as the ranks of our faculty have been renewed, opening up new areas of research and teaching expertise. We are very excited about our future and we are looking for ambitious, imaginative, and motivated PhD students to join us! Concordia?s PhD in Communication program supports a broad range of research, including (but not limited to) work in cultural studies, feminist media studies, media history and media archaeology, games studies, critical race studies, social and mobile media, sound studies, creative industries, media policy, popular culture, visual culture, religion and media, media and the environment, media and ageing, and critical disabilities studies. Our program provides advanced training in media and cultural analysis with a special emphasis on publicly and socially engaged practice. Students in our program have produced award-winning research in the form of "traditional" scholarly theses as well as cutting-edge projects in research-creation (such as documentary films, interactive web-based projects, and multi-media installations), an area in which Concordia has been an international leader for many years. We are a relatively small PhD program, allowing us to provide close mentoring to our students. Graduates of our program have launched careers, both inside and outside academia, across Canada and around the world. Concordia?s PhD students can also to take advantage of the fertile research and media arts environment that makes Montreal a leading international destination for advanced study and practice in the fields of communication, media, and cultural studies ? not to mention our city?s distinction as the world?s top ranked city for student life Students in our PhD program also benefit from opportunities to teach undergraduate courses within our department, to improve their French, and to take advantage of other forms of support and mentoring our university provides at the PhD level (including a very robust professional development program and funding to support conference and research-related travel). Our research-intensive department also provides opportunities for PhD students to receive training and employment in the form of research assistantships working on a wide range of projects housed within the department as well as in the many research units linked to various members of our department, including the Mobile Media Lab, the Feminist Media Studio, the Media History Research Centre, the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture & Technology, the Technology-Art-Games (TAG) Centre, the Intersectionality Research Hub, the Material Religion Initiative, the Speculative Life Cluster, the Critical Disabilities Studies Working Group, the Centre for Sensory Studies, and the Montreal Signs Project. Please visit our program website for further details about Concordia's PhD in Communication program (including information about degree requirements, admission requirements, application instructions, etc). Profiles of our full-time faculty can be found here Profiles of many of our current PhD students can be found here. Further information about graduate study at Concordia can be found here. Interested students are encouraged to visit the websites above, and -- if they have further questions -- are welcome to contact me directly, or Mr. Mircea Mandache, the Graduate Program Administrator (mircea.mandache@concordia.ca).

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

Applications are due January 15, 2019. Applicants will be contacted by early March. Late applications may be considered. film.gradstudies.yorku.ca Cinema and Media Studies at York University offers students a comprehensive and rigorous immersion in the study of the moving image in all its forms, both historical and contemporary. Building on York?s longstanding commitment to deliver innovative and interdisciplinary post-graduate training, the program offers a curriculum that encourages rich and dynamic synergies between creative and scholarly research with a unique focus on social justice, diversity, equity, and sustainability. Our faculty make outstanding contributions in the areas of film theory, film history, emerging screen technologies and digital media theory, global media industries, documentary, experimental and avant-garde film and media, affect studies, post-colonial studies, urban media studies, environmental media studies, labor studies, critical disability studies, feminist and queer media, film and education, media archive studies, national and transnational cinema, political economy, and research creation/arts-based methodologies. Our students , faculty, and large alumni network are part of Toronto?s lively and diverse film and media culture and its many opportunities for festival programming, curation, symposia, and lectures. The City of Toronto , housing Canada?s most important media industry infrastructure, provides students with exceptional opportunities for field placements, access to film screenings, museums and galleries, festivals (over 100 film festivals occur each year, including the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Hot Docs, and Images Festival), and resources like the Ontario Archives (now housed on York University campus), TIFF?s Film Reference Library, and other unique research collections. We welcome applicants with educational backgrounds in Cinema/Film Studies, Media Studies, Communications, Cultural Studies, Digital Media, Art History, English, Women?s Studies, Queer and Sexuality Studies, Comparative Literature, Philosophy, Urban Studies, and other disciplines that nurture research in sound and moving image media. The MA is a rigorous two-year (5-term) funded program involving course work and the completion of a Major Research Paper or a Research-Creation Project. A combined MBA/MA in Arts and Business Administration is also offered with the Schulich School of Business. Teaching, publication, and professional academic development are key components of the PhD , a minimum four-year degree with guaranteed funding for five years. After completing course work and comprehensive exams, students complete a research dissertation or research creation dissertation that makes a decisive intervention in the discipline. In addition to generous professional development funds, our students receive national, provincial and university-wide scholarships and awards. Current PhD students include 2 Vanier scholars, 2 Elia scholars, 2 Trillium scholars, and numerous SSHRC and OGS doctoral awards. Each year the program selects a small group of exceptional students to join its vigorous and stimulating intellectual community, where students attend small and engaging seminars and receive close attention from faculty supervisors. Our MA and PhD programs provide specialized training for careers in academic, research and government organizations, arts and entertainment industries (television, film, new media), festivals, producing, programming and curation, teaching, critical writing and publishing, publicity, and much more. Students interested in the MA and PhD programs are encouraged to contact Prof. Sharon Hayashi, Graduate Program Director, hayashi@yorku.ca .

My name is Joel Rivero. I am on the steering committee for the Rundle Summit: a graduate-student led conference that focuses on bringing together academic and professional perspectives on communication, media, and technology. I am passing this information on to you to help garner interest in our Call for Presentations, as well as to offer more information on a fantastic participation opportunity for communicators across Canada. Please visit our website or email me if you have any questions. Thanks and warm regards, Jo?l Rivero University of Alberta MACT graduate student Rundle Summit 2019 steering committee member rundle@ualberta.ca https://www.rundlesummit.ca/ RUNDLE SUMMIT 2019 *Proposal submission deadline: extended to December 14, 2018* *Proposal decision notification: December 21, 2018* The Rundle Summit 2019 call for presentations is open! The conference, which will take place Feb. 22-24, 2019 at the truly spectacular Banff Centre , aims to be *the best* graduate student communications, media, and technology summit in the country. Be part of it! You'll find the complete CFP directly below and at www.rundlesummit.ca. Submit your abstract by Dec. 5 using the online form . The theme for this year?s Rundle Summit is ?Tectonics: Landscapes in Conversation,? evoking the constantly-shifting tectonic plates of the earth that create new formations as they crash into each other. The metaphor reflects the dynamic state of the communication landscape, one that is constantly evolving as new technologies send aftershocks through the fields of communication and media. Rundle Summit welcomes proposals for a variety of formats: - Lightning talks (abstract: 300 words) are succinct five-minute presentations, well-suited for introducing an idea or a work-in-progress. Lightning-talk presenters will benefit from extended Q&A in which their ideas will be workshopped. - Long papers (abstract: 300 words) should be dynamic, 20-minute presentations. They can share a number of different things, such as research stories, reflections, challenges, or outcomes. - Multi-speaker panels (abstract: 300 words) address intersections or tensions within a particular topic or field. Every panelist should submit an individual abstract and note the title of the panel presentation so that reviewers can clearly see the panel?s composition. - Skills-sharing sessions (abstract: 300 words) are participant-led skills-development workshops and/or collaborative working groups focused on sharing knowledge about social-science tools and/or methodologies (e.g. teaching the basics of social-networking-analysis tool Gephi, or demystifying discourse analysis). We also encourage proposals for alternative formats. When proposing a session, please include a description of the format in addition to the 300-word abstract. Held at the Banff Centre nestled in the Alberta Rockies, this graduate-student-led conference showcases groundbreaking research and welcomes earth-shaking conversation from academics, alumni, and professionals across Canada. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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

The report examines the emergence of scoring systems and other forms of data analytics that combine data from a variety of sources as a way to categorize citizens, allocate services, and predict behaviour. It provides the first comprehensive overview of key developments in the UK and outlines concrete examples of scoring systems across different local authorities and partner agencies, prominent uses of commercial services, and understandings and perspectives about these developments amongst stakeholders and civil society. Drawing on multiple methods, including Freedom of Information requests, interviews, and stakeholder workshops, the report summarizes the findings of one year of intense research.

Message-ID: Call for Abstracts Edited Volume: ?Visual Pedagogies: Concepts, Cases & Models? We invite abstracts for an edited collection investigating the theoretical, empirical and instructional aspects of what can be envisioned as visual pedagogies, offering classic, creative, and contemporary re-workings of these paradigms. The book will be divided into three complementary sections with an editor in charge of each. Submission guidelines: The book will be designed for an academic audience, however, we also invite creative and novel approaches that challenge and take risks including troubling traditionally accepted concepts such as literacy, learning, teaching, skills and so on. Contributors are asked to write in a manner accessible to readers outside of their respective fields. We encourage the use of images, mixed media, and externally linked or referenced material. Thus, we encourage provocations and novel ways of integrating image, diagram, illustration and other modalities, within and through the book?s pages.

Section 1: Conceptualizing Visual Pedagogies Section editor: Carolina Cambre, Concordia University, Canada. E-mail: carolina.cambre@concordia.ca This section explores visual pedagogies theoretically through a collection of papers that reach into and beyond traditional understandings of both terms ?visual? and ?pedagogy.? In his 1648 landmark book on didactics, John Amos Comenius set out some enduring fundamental principles for teaching and learning, including what might seem an almost too obvious observation that ?all learning happens through the senses? and thus this book refuses to relegate its consideration of the visual in pedagogy to the purely eye-dependent. In other words, we avoid visual essentialism by understanding that the visual is already irretrievably embedded in other sensory awareness. Similarly, we consider pedagogy by pluralizing it and positioning it beyond what might be seen as institutional pedagogical understandings and approaches by looking to de-link it from strict notions of being situated in schooling and within certain age-ranges. Instead, these conceptually oriented papers consider pedagogies in the sense that these approaches can take multiple, non-linear, and situated approaches whether collective or individual that can encompass diverse spaces. Thus the official space of the classroom is one amongst many pedagogical spaces that can include ceremonial, artistic, public, mediated, athletic, informal, community-based and work-related arenas. Chapters in this section will re-think what visual pedagogies involve: including foregrounding the social nature of pedagogy and asking: What does it mean to look together, and deliberately attend to something in a process of desire and possibility? Visual pedagogies are by nature nomadic and do not separate the how of educating from the what. What does this mean? First it means recognizing that ?Pedagogy is never innocent,? and that it ?carries its own message? (Bruner 1996: 63). Visual pedagogies respond and are actualized within the cultural contexts in which they are working, yet they are not ?wed to a context but are taken up in unpredictable ways across various contexts? (Masny & Waterhouse 2011: 291 emphasis in original). As visual pedagogies gain momentum across fields, the need to navigate visual environments both digital and offline in ways that enhance sensibility and awareness of how/what to observe, analyze, criticize and reflect on in any given moment continues to grow. Section 2: Case Studies of Visual Pedagogies in Education Section editor: Edna Barromi-Perlman, University of Haifa, Kibbutz College of Education, Israel. E-mail: edna.barromi@smkb.ac.il Reading and interpreting the visual worlds in which we live, work, teach and educate has emerged as an important feature in educational environments. Educational practice is influenced and maneuvered by continual flows of visual imagery, which manifest across multitudes of platforms and modalities. This section of the book will collect case studies based on empirical fieldwork, that reflect on forms of developing knowledge in visual pedagogy and how this knowledge might affect academic or other educational practices, societies, communities and educational systems. This section thus invites case studies of research/action research conducted in this field. The case studies will explore different paradigms and discuss the empirical manifestation of visual pedagogies in the field. The case studies will build on current theories and address diverse audiences as well as diverse learning institutions on a global level. The selection will aim for an international and cross-cultural scope, so that each case study will present challenges specific to its country of origin. The research will encompass fieldwork in formal and informal educational settings as well as digital practices, educational media, online material and printed material and will be open to work that explores various, alternative visual platforms in educational institutions and beyond. Section 3: Visual Pedagogies in Practice Section editor: Joanna Kedra, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. E-mail: joanna.kedra@jyu.fi This section explores visual pedagogies in classroom related contexts by immersing readers straight into the concrete examples of educational practices. In a world saturated by images and digitally and visually mediated communication, visual competency has come to the forefront in the 21st century. Subsequently, the need for skills in visual interpretation, image creation, evaluation and usage has demanded increased attention in education. Today?s students are assumed to be fluent in digital and visual technologies, mainly, due to their perpetual immersion into visually and technologically mediated communication. However, recent studies that examine visual literacy of young adults, mainly visual interpretation, but also abilities in visual production and image use, indicate that the assumption of today?s learners being technologically and visually savvy is mistaken. Thus, there is a pressing need for relevant visual pedagogies. However, practical teaching tools that may assist in developing students? visual competency are still lacking, along with in-depth reflection on visual teaching practices. At the core of this section lies a desire to introduce and critically evaluate models for teaching-learning interactions with various types of visuals. Visual pedagogies are understood as educating ?with? or ?about? visuals as well as a group of practices toward development of learners? visual literacy. Contributors of this section examine visually oriented practices, modes and models and reflect upon them. This section will provide fresh scholarly perspectives within an area of pedagogy that calls for more substantive reflection and practice-based approaches. -- -- "'The ice in the North is melting.

We invite proposals for work in English or French from any disciplinary, interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary approach. Presentations can be in a variety of formats, including papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, film and video screenings, performance art pieces, exhibits, and cultural events. Proposals must be submitted through our online form in English or French. All presenters must pay 2019 membership dues to the association, as well as Congress and Conference Registration fees. To become a member of the SSA please register through our website. The deadline for submission is January 7, 2019. Sexuality Studies encompasses at least the following: * Intersectional interpretations of sexuality * Erotic rights to sexual health and education * Challenges to the heteropatriarchal state * Two-spirit and Indigequeer critiques (with acknowledgement to Thirza Cutland) * Queer inter/trans disciplinary pedagogies * Activist and artivist resistances, aesthetics and cultural production * Archives, ephemera, epistemologies, futures, optimisms * Sexual media and technology This year, Congress has chosen the theme, Circles of Conversation, envisioning "deep, two-way relationships between the university and the communities it serves... that will showcase creative critical engagements." The Sexuality Studies Association invites its members to think beyond this binary and imagine eccentric circles, abandoning the quest for a common centre in favour of intersections and juxtapositions across myriad arcs that invite contact without knowing fully the repercussions. We argue that eccentricity, rather than commonality, encourages impactful exchanges and disruptive conversations that lead to creative and erotic engagements with knowledge. Eccentric circles take us on paths that are pleasurable, dangerous and, ultimately, transformative. It provokes reflexive questions such as: * How can sex and sexuality inform the way we approach scholarship as an embodied, pleasurable practice? * How do sexuality scholars transgress binary logics of identity, knowledge and culture? * What are the ethical implications of doing scholarship with, about, and for sexually marginalized communities? * What sorts of innovative theoretical and methodological opportunities erupt when disciplinary traditions traverse each other? We encourage proposals that define and expand upon both the themes ?Circles of Conversation? and ?Eccentric Circles.? Submissions are welcome for individual presentations (max. 2 presenters, 20 minutes), panel sessions (max. 4 presenters, 75-90 minutes), workshops (3-5 presenters, 75-90 minutes), roundtables (3-5 presenters, 75-90 minutes), film or video screenings (either 15 minutes or 75 minutes), and artistic performances (either 15 minutes or 75 minutes). In particular, we invite indigenous perspectives on sexuality from international contexts, so that we may create eccentric circles across global communities and histories. The Sexuality Studies Association (SSA) is a scholarly association for scholars, artists, activists, and all community members who have an interest in the teaching and study of sex, sexuality, and gender diversity. The SSA provides opportunities to connect the broader research, artistic, and activist communities, and to mentor and support each other in our work.

CONGR?S 2019 APPEL ? PROPOSITIONS UNIVERSIT? DE LA COLOMBIE BRITANNIQUE VANCOUVER | 2-4 JUIN 2019 Cercles excentriques Discours principal : Jamie Lee Hamilton ? l?occasion de notre r?union annuelle, organis?e dans le cadre du Congr?s des sciences humaines ? l?Universit? de la Colombie Britanique du 2 au 4 juin 2019, l?Association d??tudes de la sexualit? lance son appel ? proposition. Nous sollicitons les propositions en langue fran?aise ou anglaise de toute perspective disciplinaire, interdisciplinaire ou transdisciplinaire. Les communications peuvent ?tre pr?sent?es dans divers formats, notamment sous forme de conf?rences, de panels, d?ateliers, de tables rondes, de projections de films et de vid?os, de performances artistiques, d?expositions et d??v?nements culturels. Les propositions doivent ?tre soumises via notre formulaire en ligne en fran?ais ou en anglais. Tou.te.s les conf?rencier.?re.s doivent payer leur cotisation d?adh?sion de 2019 ? l'association, ainsi que les frais d'inscription au congr?s et ? la conf?rence. Pour devenir un membre de l?A?S, veuillez-vous inscrire via notre site Web. La date limite des soumissions est le 7 janvier 2019. Les ?tudes de la sexualit? comprennent au moins l?un des ?l?ments suivants : * Interpr?tations intersectionnelles de la sexualit? * Droits ?rotiques ? la sant? sexuelle et ? l??ducation * Critiques de l?h?t?ropatriarcat * Critiques bi-spirituelles et indigequeer (un concept de Thirza Cutland) * P?dagogies queer, inter-/trans- disciplinarit? * R?sistances par l?art et l?activisme, productions esth?tiques et culturelles * Archives, documents ?ph?m?res, ?pist?mologies, futurs, optimismes * M?dias sexuels et technologie Le Congr?s des sciences sociales et humaines a choisi pour th?me ? Cercles de conversation ?, invitant les participant.e.s ? s?int?resser ? ?la relation ?troite et bidirectionnelle qui unit les universit?s et leurs collectivit?s [?] afin de mettre en valeur les engagements critiques cr?atifs ?. L?A?S incite ses membres ? penser au-del? de cette logique binaire et ? abandonner la recherche d'un centre commun. Nous pr?f?rons la notion de ? cercles excentriques ? ? celle de conversation : il s?agit d?imaginer la mani?re dont d?innombrables arcs se juxtaposent et s?entrecoupent sans pour autant inviter au contact et/ou en conna?tre par avance toutes les r?percussions. Nous pensons que la notion d?excentricit?, bien plus que celle du ? commun ?, permet d?encourager l??change et les conversations perturbatrices, menant d?s lors ? des modalit?s de savoir li?es ? un engagement cr?atif et ?rotique. Les cercles excentriques nous m?nent sur des chemins agr?ables, dangereux et assur?ment transformateurs. Ils permettent d?envisager les pistes r?flexives suivantes : * Comment le sexe et la sexualit? peuvent-ils permettre de comprendre la recherche comme une pratique incarn?e et une source de plaisir ? * Comment les chercheur.e.s transgressent-il.le.s les logiques binaires d'identit?, de connaissance et de culture ? * Quelles sont les implications ?thiques de la recherche avec, sur et pour les communaut?s sexuellement marginalis?es ? * Quelles opportunit?s th?oriques et m?thodologiques innovantes deviennent possibles lorsque les traditions disciplinaires se croisent ? Nous encourageons les propositions de communications individuelles (maximum 2 conf?rencier.?res.s, 15-20 minutes), de panels pr?constitu?s (maximum 4 conf?rencier.?re.s, 90 minutes), les projections de films et de vid?os (15 ou 90 minutes) et les performances artistiques (15 ou 90 minutes). Nous sommes particuli?rement int?ress?.e.s par les perspectives autochtones sur la sexualit? ainsi que celles issues d?autres contextes internationaux : nous cherchons ? cr?er des cercles excentriques ? travers nos histoires et communaut?s mondiales. L?A?S est une association de recherche regroupant des chercheur.e.s, des artistes, des militant.e.s et d?autres membres de la communaut? qui s?int?ressent ? l?enseignement et ? l??tude du sexe, de la sexualit? et de la diversit? sexuelle. L?A?S vise ? favoriser l?interrelation entre les communaut?s de recherche, artistiques, et militantes au sens large, ainsi qu?? leur apporter mentorat et soutien.

As always, I hope that you are well. Some of you may have already seen this, so apologies for cluttering up your inbox and mindspace. I would very much like to hear any comments or constructive criticisms that you might have and appreciate those who have taken the time in the past to do just that. Here's the basics and there's a lot more in the 102 page report. Earlier this week the Canadian Media Concentration Research Project the I direct released the second of its two-part annual series on the state of telecoms-internet and media concentration in Canada. A downloadable PDF of the report can be found here. The report examines the state of competition in the ?network media economy?, including analysis of the following sectors: mobile wireless market, internet access, broadcast, pay and streaming TV services, internet advertising, advertising across all media, newspapers, browsers, online news sources, search, social media, operating systems, etc. in Canada over the period from 1984 until 2017. For the second year now, this report delves deeper into the state of competition specifically in local and regional mobile wireless, retail internet access and ?cable TV? services. We show that mobile competition has improved considerably in Quebec, for example, where Videotron has carved out a 13% market share for itself by revenue. In Ontario, Alberta and BC where Shaw operates Freedom Mobile, it has carved out an estimated market share of between 5% and 6%. Despite these gains, however, the big three national carriers? market share actually increased in 2017, mostly due to Bell?s acquisition of MTS. Concentration levels are even higher in local retail internet access and cable TV markets, where the legacy cable companies and telecoms operators generally ac?count for between 87% and nearly 100% of the market, respectively. In short, there are strong reasons for concern in all these markets. Now is not the time to let up on policy measures that have begun to bear at least some fruit, and perhaps good reason to double-down on them?but whether the CRTC will do that is increasingly looking doubtful. The report also identifies qualitative features of the network media economy that set Canada apart from other countries. In this regard, two things stand out: the sky-high levels of diagonal integration and the extremely high levels of vertical integration that exist in this country. Diagonal integration is where mobile wireless, wireline internet access and cable TV service are owned by one and the same player. In most countries, there are stand-alone mobile network operators (MNOs) competing in the market, whereas in Canada the last stand-alone mobile operator (Wind Mobile) was acquired in 2016 by Shaw. Vertical integration is where network operators own media content companies. Current levels of vertical integration are exceptionally high in Canada by both historical and international standards. Indeed, the scale of vertical integration doubled between 2008 and 2013 and by 2017, four vertically-integrated communications conglomerates in Canada had come to account for 57% of the $80 billion network media economy: Bell, Rogers, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor. As a result, Canada stands alone in the developed world on account of the fact that all of the main TV services in the country, except for the CBC and Netflix, are owned by telecoms operators. In the US, by contrast, three vertically-integrated behemoths?AT&T, Comcast and Charter (Liberty)?accounted for just a third of that country?s mammoth $1,405 billion (CDN) network media economy in 2017 (adjusted to take account of AT&T?s take-over of Time Warner earlier this year). In the US, like most other countries as well, most broadcast and pay TV services are not owned by telecoms operators?a fact that has extremely important implications, as this report shows. In sum, extremely high-levels of vertical and diagonal integration are a distinguishing feature of the network media economy in Canada, and this fact needs to be recognized and dealt with accordingly. Indeed, the principle of ?common carriage? (popularly known as ?net neutrality?) is built for conditions like these?albeit not contingent upon them. As this report suggests, this unique combination of conditions helps explain why internet access, mobile wireless and cable TV services prices are so expensive, data caps low, unlimited options rare and expensive, and the variety of stand-alone internet streaming TV services on offer limited in Canada, amongst other things. After declining between 1984-2010, the level of concentration across the overall network media economy has once again risen over the past decade. It is also crucial, however, to stress that the general dynamics that we observe in this report also differ across time, place and media. Concentration levels have fallen, for example, in cable TV (when measured locally, but not nationally), internet access (at both the local and national level), wireline telecommunications, broadcast TV and the ?total TV marketplace? (the latter, largely because of the growth of internet streaming TV services, especially Netflix) and internet news sources. That said, however, the declines in cable TV and internet access are from very high levels of concentration and they continue to be extremely concentrated despite the modest changes that have taken place. Concentration levels have risen in mobile wireless services, except in Quebec. This is the most competitive wireless market in the country, and it shows in terms of more affordable rates for several tiers of services not just from Videotron but each of the national carriers competing with it in the province, and higher monthly data allowances. They have also risen in pay and specialty TV services, thereby reversing recent trends, as well as in internet advertising, search, mobile and desktop operating systems, mobile and desktop browsers. This suggests that, far from being immune to consolidation, ?core elements of the internet? are highly susceptible to such pressures. The following figure provides a high-level snapshot of where things stood in 2017 for each media covered in this report on the basis of their respective HHI scores (a measure defined in the report). Concentration Rankings on the basis of HHI Scores, 2017 [image.png] This year?s report adds a whole new section on the role of advertising as a source of revenue spending across a variety of media in Canada, i.e. TV, radio, online, newspapers, and magazines. Like the first report in this series, this report focuses foursquare on Google and Facebook?s growing dominance of the $6.2 billion internet advertising market in Canada. The shift to the ?mobile internet? has seen both of them consolidate their grip on internet advertising and attempts to resurrect the ?walled garden? vision of the Internet as, for example, Google expands from search into a suite of cloud-based applications, the Chrome browser, Android operating system, undersea cables, and data centres around the world. For its part, Facebook?s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp in 2012 and 2014, respectively, and similar, albeit less extensive investments in its own data centres and a few underseas fibre optic cables represent a similar trend. The sprawling expansion of the internet giants adds up to the two companies?and others, such as Amazon, Apple and Microsoft?building what is tantamount to their own private internets that bring huge volumes of internet traffic as close to the doorsteps, desktops and devices of their users as possible. These activities have huge implications for the very character of the internet as we know it. Many observers denounce Google and Facebook on the grounds that they are pillaging the revenue that traditional, advertising-based media industries need to support the production of entertainment, journalism and Canadian culture. Our last report, however, cast doubt on these claims, and this one does too by raising and exploring the following points: 1. The $6.2 billion online advertising market that Google and Facebook dominate is just one part of $13.1 billion spent on advertising across all commercial media, including television, radio, newspapers, magazines, outdoor advertising, etc. and smaller part yet of the larger $80.3 billion network media economy in Canada. In sum, while Google and Facebook dominate internet advertising, their dominance does not extend either to the rest of the advertising market and certainly not to the $80.3 billion media economy in Canada as a whole. 2. While the perception that Google and Facebook are ?vampire squids? is not without merit, the more intractable but seldom recognized problem is that total ad spending in Canada appears to be declining on a per capita basis and relative to the national economy. That Google and Facebook are carving out an enormous role for themselves in a shrinking advertising market no doubt puts a sharp edge on the conflict between them and the Canadian firms at the top of the list of biggest commercial media operators in Canada, i.e. Bell, Shaw, Rogers, Postmedia, Torstar, Quebecor, the CBC, etc. The latter, in turn, are intensifying their own efforts to harvest personal data on a vastly greater scale than ever before and clamoring for weaker privacy rules at the same time in the hope that victories on both fronts will enable them to compete with the global internet giants more effectively?a surefire recipe for a race to the bottom between domestic media companies and the global internet giants. 3. Once we look past the advertising-based sectors of the media economy to include those that rely on subscriber fees?the ?pay-per media?, as we call them?a dramatically different picture than the one usually told emerges. In this alternative and critical account, the biggest players in the network media economy are not Google and Facebook that depend almost entirely on advertising but Bell, Rogers, Telus, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor which get the lion?s share of their revenue from subscriber fees and connecting people to the internet, mobile phones as well as media content, services and apps of all kinds. In fact, the ?big five? Canadian players are far larger than Google and Facebook, based on the latter?s revenues from Canada. In fact, Bell?s revenues, for example, were seven and fifteen times those of Google and Facebook, and twenty-six times those of Netflix, while Google, Facebook and Netflix ranked as the 6th, 8th and 11th biggest media firms in Canada in 2017 based on their estimated revenues within the country. Additional headlines of this report include: ? the top five companies?Bell, Telus, Rogers, Shaw and Quebecor?accounted for 73.4% of the $80 billion network media economy last year, up from 72.1% the year before; ? Bell is the biggest player in Canada by far?nearly twice the size of its closest rivals, Telus and Rogers?and it single-handedly accounted for 28% of all revenue last year?up by one percent from a year earlier; ? TELUS emerged as the second largest communications and media company in Canada for the first time last year; ? mobile wireless is very highly concentrated with Rogers, Telus and Bell accounting for 93.2% of the sector?s revenue in 2017?up one percent from the year before and reflecting Bell?s acquisition of MTS; ? new entrants Shaw (Freedom) and Videotron?s share of the market ticked upwards to 4.8% in 2017?up from 4.1% the year before; ? the least concentrated mobile wireless market in Canada is in Quebec, where Videotron had 13% market share by revenue and 15% based on subscribers at the end of 2017?which is up by a 1.3% on the basis of revenue and steady based on subscriber share; ? incumbent telephone and cable companies accounted for 87% of the residential retail internet access market in 2017 (i.e. Bell, Rogers, Shaw, Telus, Videotron, Cogeco, Eastlink and SaskTel). ? the quick pace of IPTV growth over the past half-decade means that the ?cable monopoly? is long gone. A tight duopoly persists, however, and local markets are extremely concentrated by the standards of the HHI; ? the number of Canadian households with a cable TV subscription fell to 76.1% last year, down from 85.6% at its high point six years ago, but those losses have been largely offset by price increases for cable TV and broadband internet access that have outpaced the consumer price index by large margins; ? combined, Bell and Shaw (Corus) accounted for nearly half of the entire television universe (e.g. television distribution and services) by revenue and possessed a total of 130 television stations and services between themselves in 2017; ? there was a steep rise in TV concentration between 2010 and 2014 but the spin-off of some pay TV services by Bell and Shaw (Corus) and the rise of Netflix and other OTT services has helped turn the tide. The ?big 5? TV operators? took 82.2% of all TV revenue (including internet streaming) last year?down from 86.3% in 2014 and with a very big change insofar that Netflix has replaced Quebecor as the 5th largest TV operator in the country; ? Netflix?s had estimated revenue of $820.6 million in Canada last year?up sharply from $635 million the year before. ? Smaller TV operators such as DHX, Stingray, Blue Ant, Channel Zero, APN, V Interactions and CHEK have benefitted from some new openings as well as the divestiture of TV services by bigger players like Bell and Shaw (Corus) However, their combined market share in 207 was far less than Astral Media?s share alone on the eve of its take-over by Bell in 2013 (7.6%); ? Canadians get their news from a wide plurality of internet news sources, both old (CBC, Postmedia, Toronto Star, CTV) and new (Huffington Post, Buzzfeed), as well as domestic and foreign (BBC, Yahoo!-ABC, Guardian, New York Times); ? The scale of vertical integration amongst the ?big 4? vertically-integrated giants in Canada more than doubled from 2010 to 2013. In 2017, Bell, Rogers, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor accounted for 56.7% of the $80.3 billion industry?in the US, in contrast, after the AT&T take-over of Time Warner earlier this year, four vertically integrated companies? accounted for a third of that country?s $1,405 billion (CDN) network media economy; ? diagonal integration is where mobile wireless, wireline, ISPs and BDUs are owned by one and the same player, and is extensive in Canada as well, whereas in many countries there are stand-alone mobile network operators (MNOs), such as T-Mobile or Sprint in the US, or 3 in the UK, and Vodafone in many countries. The last stand-alone mobile wireless company in Canada?Wind Mobile?was acquired by Shaw in 2016; ? Vertical and diagonal integration tend to dampen competition between different ?modes of communication?, raise prices, limit the size of monthly data caps, promote the use of zero-rating schemes that challenge the precepts of net neutrality (i.e. common carriage), etc. The use of data caps and zero-rating turns carriers into editors, or gatekeepers, and tilts the ?model? of the evermore internet- and mobile wireless-centric media universe towards a logic of integration, control and ?walled gardens? vs ?the open internet?. ? In recent years, the CRTC had rediscovered media concentration and taken steps to do something about it in a series of landmark rulings: e.g. its Mobile TV, Talk TV, regulated wholesale mobile wireless and wireline decisions, and the ?zero-rating? decision in 2016 that girded the already strong ?Net Neutrality? framework in Canada. Common carriage (or ?net neutrality?) is crucial in a context where high levels of vertical integration obtain, although it does not turn on the point. The key question today is about the direction of the Commission under its current chair, Ian Scott, but already evidence is mounting that the Commission will take a far less assertive stance under its new chair than it did under the last one.

Please join us on January 28, 2019, 5:30PM, we will feature two speakers: Andrew Iliadis, PhD, Assistant Professor, Temple University, "Semantic Media: Who's Building Meaning into our Machines?" Since Google declared, in a 2012 blog post, that they would begin focusing on "things, not strings" there has been renewed interest in semantically enhancing web data. As the amount of data on the internet grows, there is a need to structure those data to produce semantic interoperability and increase understanding. To this end, tools like metadata schemas, knowledge graphs, and applied ontologies are experiencing a resurgence. Yet, along with increasing our ability to make sense of data through semanticization, there are identifiable problems related to interoperability that may negatively impact people, practices, and places. This talk explores semantic media technologies by asking if they are appropriate for modeling all kinds of knowledge, and how such modeling affects access and control? Tero Karppi, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Toronto, "Disconnect. Facebook's Futures?" In his work, Tero Karppi focuses on disconnections in social media and network culture. His book, Disconnect: Facebook's Affective Bonds has been published by University of Minnesota Press (2018). Karppi is interested in understanding our culture of connectivity through different platforms and their operations - especially when they fail - and puts emphasis on the non-human actors and agencies involved. Thus he tries to challenge and find alternatives for models that aim to explain social media through user participation. More broadly his research interests include media theory, new and digital media, social media, algorithms, digital economy and affect theory. In his writings Karppi has explored different social media? platforms and mechanisms of extracting value out of users. He has analyzed social media related phenomena such as digital suicide, dead Facebook users and online trolls.

BIOPOLITICS: IN MANY WAYS Biopolitics is a predominant paradigm in the social sciences and humanities, which begins from the premise that life is central to modern politics. In the early nineteenth century, biopolitics emerged alongside concerns with overpopulation, public hygiene, pseudo-scientific theories of ?race,? and into state institutions such as the socio-biological regime of the Nazis. More recently, contemporary issues such as combating climate change, prevention of the global spread of infectious diseases, as well as rethinking the meaning of being human (given biomedical advances in such areas as genetic engineering, reproductive technologies, and even prosthetics), life has become a central issue for politics. In our ?biopolitical? era governing means to manage, regulate, control, and protect life in all its forms. This line of thinking first gained prominence in the mid-1970s with Michel Foucault?s Discipline and Punish (1995), The History of Sexuality, Volume 1 (1990), and his famous lectures at the Coll?ge de France (2003, 2007, 2008). We are accepting proposals on any topics that relate to biopolitics from across the social sciences and humanities. Contributions from graduate students from all disciplines and critical perspectives are welcome. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: ? Biopolitics and the commons ? Communication, media and the politics of life ? Disrupting biopolitical borders (immigration, (de)colonization, settlement, and globalization) ? Epidemics, eugenics, bioethics ? Humanism, anthropocene, or post-humanism ? Affirmative biopolitics, Negative biopolitics, the politics of death (thanatopolitics, necropolitics), immunization, or vitalism ? Governmentality, debt, state of exception, crisis management, total institutions ? Bare life (zo?) versus political life (b?os) ? Immaterial labour, the precariat, or the biopolitical economy ? The extent the discourse of biopolitics possessing emancipatory educational practices ? The biopolitics of social inequalities (gender, race, sexuality, and etc.) ? Theories of biopolitical resistance and social justice We welcome submissions from all graduate students at the Masters and PhD levels.

Adopting the concept of Empire from Italian autonomous Marxist authors Michael Negri & Antonio Hardt, the book is considered one of the hallmarks of videogame cultural criticism. Situated within Western video game scholarship of the early 2000?s, the book reminded many that critical analysis informed by social theory is vital to capturing the phenomena of videogame production processes, and the power hierarchies they derive from and reproduce. Ten years later, today, it is impossible to ignore the significance that the book ? despite its flaws ? has shown in addressing the under-researched political aspects of the global videogame industry and cultures. At the same time, it is impossible to ignore the ever-pressing need for cultural and materialist criticism within game studies. There are many elephants in the room ? the inequities of the global games labour market, the growing Game Workers unionization and the international solidarity necessary for it, the games industry?s contribution to the expansion and consolidation of global corporate interests, the revitalization of fascism in and around games, and the reproduction of colonialism under conditions of globalised supply chains and markets. In light of this, many researchers are returning to the question of how conditions of production highlight the inherently politicized nature of videogames as a global 21st century cultural industry, prompting them to explore how it can be subjected to critical analysis, to inform interventions both by scholars and by workers in the sector. Games of Empire, specifically, while an opportune starting point for critical analysis everywhere, is not without its limits. Indeed, while Dyer-Witheford and de Peuter and others (e.g., Banks & Cunningham, 2013; Nieborg, 2011; O?Donnell, 2014; Deuze, 2007), have shown that it is possible (and publishable) to inspect and critique the role of the videogames industry in the world, much remains to be said about both. Contemporary phenomena emblematic to videogames? culture and industry require scholarly and critical addressing ? issues such as the cultural and economic imperialism of global videogame companies; the platformization of culture (Nieborg & Poell, 2018); the privileging and problematization of indie and intersectional production (Martin & Deuze, 2009; Ruffino, 2012; Shaw, 2009); the consolidation of cultural and economic power via the dynamics of monopoly capitalism and imperialism, including the exploitative structure of platforms that turn players into workers and information into commodities capturing the cultural activity of play as seen in free-to-play and so-called lootbox business models (Joseph 2017); the mutually beneficial relationship between corporate grassroots movements such as Gamergate and multinational companies? exploitation of their workers (Keogh 2018; Polansky 2018); the material and ecological ramifications of always-online infrastructures, planned obsolescence, videostreaming, and so-called cloud-based gaming; the cultural and economic conditions that maintain and reproduce what Fron, Fullerton, Morie, & Pearce called ?the Hegemony of Play? (2007) ; the game industry?s intersecting matrix of domination (Collins 2002) along racial, gendered, sexual, class, language, ethnic, and bodily dimensions; and so on. Even within the nebulous discipline of game studies itself, questions of Empire are in dire need of addressing (Russworm 2018), especially against the background of positionality , the politics of citation, academia as a colonial force, bourgeois conferences overrepresenting Western, privileged and tenure-track participants able to pay extravagant fees (Butt, et al., 2018), as well as the relationship between industry and research. As such, the initial discussions motivated by Dyer-Witheford and de Peuter?s research remain as, if not more, relevant than ever. It is crucial that similar critical investigations are contemporarily re-articulated to highlight paths and strategies to understand videogames today as symptoms of a deeply unjust state of the world, and perhaps to transform the structures that reproduce this state. To do so, this special issue of Games & Culture invites authors in game studies, cultural studies, production studies, and related disciplines to engage in a dialogue with Games of Empire and the themes of global capitalism, videogame production as global cultural industry, and related themes of Empire, inequality, and hegemony. This dialogue can be based on contemporary and ongoing research, both theoretical and empirical, into videogame production today. Possible papers could include themes such as: * Empire and multitude in the contemporary games sector * Cognitive capitalism and work in the globalised production chain * Machinic subjects in the post-platform era * Social theory in game studies (post-Empire) * Platform capitalism * Working conditions in videogame production * Nomad game making * Major and minor subjectivity in game production * Making desiring subjects * 21st century imperialism and monopoly capitalism * Comparative production cultures: difference and continuity between (national) production cultures * Postcolonialism, empire, and emancipation * Cultural production in the margins: Games & workers of the so-called global south. * Unionization efforts among game workers (Game Workers Unite, #AsAGameWorker, etc.) * Empire through & within academia and game studies * The Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network, in and outside of the imperial core * The ecological and material aspects of the global games industry in the Age of the Capitalocene These themes can be interpreted broadly.

Apply at https://www.4s2019.org/accepted-open-panels/ Open panel 37: Disrupting Algorithms: Innovating Work and Life in the Digital Economy Alessandro Delfanti, University of Toronto Yujie Chen, University of Leicester Work is increasingly shaped by algorithms and automated technologies that standardize and organize the labor process, incorporate managerial tasks, and contribute to new forms of value generation. While this is depicted as a smooth process of innovation, the field is ripe with frictions and tensions. Studies on technology and workers have well-documented workers? resistance to the introduction of new technologies on the shop floor from manufacturing to call centers. Building on this scholarly tradition, we aim to discuss how algorithmic power is confronted, negotiated, and disrupted by workers in today?s booming sectors of logistics, online crowdwork, or the so-called gig economy. The field of STS offers crucial concepts and tools to challenge the assumption of technology as an external force that single-handedly configures and controls the workforce. STS shed lights on how both the materiality and ideology of innovation are contested and practiced by specific actors. We are interested in papers that deal with workers? creative means of counteracting algorithmic control, from strikes and refusal to everyday resistance and coping, as well as new forms of worker-led organizations, in different geographical, social and cultural contexts. Perspectives rooted on user theory, political economy of technology, feminist theory of technology, and labour process theory are welcome among others. We also aim to solicit papers that document and study how workers alter, redefine, and regenerate meanings, opportunities, risks, and rewards other than those imposed by system algorithms and other technologies.
