Such a host animal could be reaped of its extra kidneys; then, rather than being destroyed, it could keep on living and grow more organs, much as a lobster could grow another claw to replace a missing one. That would be less wasteful, as it took a lot of food and care to grow a pigoon. A great deal of investment money had gone into OrganInc Farms?? (Margaret Atwood - Oryx & Crake 2003) In Oryx and Crake Margaret Atwood describes a not-too-distant future where humans have perfected the art of fabricating and modifying a variety of creatures to improve and prolongue their own lives and wellbeing. As Atwood has stated in various occasions, this is not science fiction. It is in fact already happening. New forms of life appear not only as the product of lab fabrication or gene editing, but also as the result of toxic pollutants and climate change induced adaptation. what to make of them? how to cope with a world where extinction, adaptation and mutation risk to make traditional categories and taxonomies obsolete? or not?

BIOS Fran?oise Baylis is University Research Professor at Dalhousie University. She is a member of the Order of Canada and the Order of Nova Scotia, as well as a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences. Baylis was one of the organizers of, and a key participant in, the 2015 International Summit on Human Gene Editing. She is a member of the WHO expert advisory committee on Developing Global Standards for Governance and Oversight of Human Genome Editing. Her new book "Altered Inheritance. CRISPR and the Ethics of Human Genome Editing" is published by Harvard University Press Karen Maxwell is a research professor in the dept of biochemistry at the university of toronto, where she runs the Maxwell Lab. Among other topics, the lab's three branches "Anti-CRISPR", "Phage morons" and "Anti-Phage defences" study the interplay of phages with their bacterial hosts, with a focus on phage mediated bacterial virulence mechanisms and inhibitors of anti-phage bacterial defenses. Richard Pell works at the intersections of science, engineering, and culture. He has worked in a variety of electronic media from documentary video to robotics to bioart to museum exhibition. He is the founder and director of the Center for PostNatural History (CPNH), an organization dedicated to the collection and exposition of life-forms that have been intentionally and heritably altered through domestication, selective breeding, tissue culture or genetic engineering. The CPNH operates a permanent museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and produces traveling exhibitions that have appeared in science and art museums throughout Europe and the United States, including being the subject of a major exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London. Laurence Packer is a mellitologist, ie a scholar whose main subject of study is wild bees. his research primarily involves the systematics of the bee subfamily Xeromelissinae - an obscure, but fascinating group of bees, restricted to the New World south of central Mexico. he has also expended considerable energy leading the global campaign to barcode the bees of the world. his work is concerned with promulgating the importance of bees: for genetic reasons, it seems that bees are more extinction prone than are almost all other organisms Stefan Herda's practice explores our troubling relationship to the natural world through drawing, sculpture and video. Inspired by the earth sciences, Herda's work navigates the space between truth and fiction. His material and process-based investigations fuse elements of authenticity, fa?ade, the natural and the manufactured together. He received his BAH from the University of Guelph in 2010. His work in both sculpture and video has been included in exhibitions nationally and has been featured by CBC Arts and Daily VICE. Recently, Stefan has held solo shows at Patel Projects (Toronto) and Wil Kucey Gallery (Toronto), participated in group shows such as Cultivars: Possible Worlds at InterAccess (Toronto) and was featured as one of 12 artists in the Cabinet Project at the University of Toronto Cole Swanson is an artist and educator based in Toronto, Canada. He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and throughout international venues in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. At the heart of recent work is a cross-disciplinary exploration of materials and their sociocultural and biological histories. Embedded within art media and commonplace resources are complex relations between nature and culture, humans and other agents, consumers and the consumed. Swanson has engaged in a broad material practice using sound, installation, painting, and sculpture to explore interspecies relationships. Anna Marie O'Brien is a post doc in the Frederickson, Rochman, and Sinton labs at University of Toronto, working on duckweeds, microbes, urban contaminants, and phenotypes. her PhD work was at Davis, with thesis advisors Dr. Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra and Dr. Sharon Strauss. she also collaborated closely with Dr. Ruairidh Sawers at LANGEBIO-CINVESTAV in Guanajuato, Mexico. roberta buiani atomarborea.net artscisalon.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(MRI) Working Group, is delighted to announce the following public event. Please come and please pass this notice along to others who you believe may be interested. What: ?Knots and Holes: An Essay Film on the Life of Nets?. A public screening and discussion, featuring the film-maker, Mattijs van de Port, and responses from Catherine Russell (Film Studies, Concordia), Kregg Hetherington (Anthropology, Concordia), and Lisa Stevenson (Anthropology, McGill). Where: EV 1.605, Concordia University (1515 Ste Catherine, ouest). When: Friday 1 November, beginning at 4:00 PM. Please see the poster, attached, for more details. ?Knots and Holes? (2018) is a genre-breaking film that has been winning awards and honourable mentions at film festivals around the world since its release. Combining a visual ethnography of the contemporary lifeworld of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, a philosophical reflection on the material logic of ?the net? as a mode of gathering, closing, capturing, and releasing that operates at multiple levels from aesthetics to religious imagination to politics, and an autobiographical reflection on queer desire, ?Knots and Holes? offers a visually lush, thought-provoking, hypnotic-inducing romp that you will not want to miss! Mattijs van de Port is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His many publications include the widely acclaimed books, Gypsies, Wars, and Other Instances of the Wild (1998) and Ecstatic Encounters: Bahian Candombl? and the Quest for the Really Real (2011). His first documentary film, ?Possibility of Spirits? (2016) also won numerous honourable mentions at ethnographic film festivals around the world and was featured for a special issue of the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute. For those wishing to learn more about this film prior to the screening, visit: http://www.mattijsvandeport.eu/www.mattijsvandeport.eu/films.html.

Host: Data Justice Lab As the generation, collection and analysis of data continues to transform key aspects of our society across economics, politics and culture, the question of participation has rarely been so pertinent. Democratic processes and traditional avenues for participation are facing challenges as state-citizen relations are increasingly shaped through data analytics and automation at the same time as alternative visions for participatory democracy and decision-making have proliferated. As citizens, we are said to be both coerced and active participants in this shift, both liberated and exploited in the use of digital tools, both more visible and more obscured in data-driven systems. How, then, should we understand civic participation in the datafied society? In what ways are we positioned as citizens in the advancement of datafication? How are decisions made, governance carried out, and systems created? What possibilities exist to intervene in, influence, create and resist power? Who gets to participate and on what terms? How might our institutions and government practices need to change? What are strategies for democratising the emergent datafied society? And what are avenues for enhancing citizen and community participation? This two-day event explores the relationship between datafication and participation. Hosted by the Data Justice Lab at Cardiff University?s School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC), it will bring together international scholars, practitioners, activists, and community groups to discuss the possibilities and challenges of civic participation in a datafied society. Speakers include: Carly Kind (Ada Lovelace Institute) Mark Andrejevic (Monash University, Australia) Nanjira Sambuli (World Wide Web Foundation) Natalie Fenton (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK) Rashida Richardson (AI Now) Tawana Petty (Detroit Digital Justice Coalition) The conference will include both scholarly contributions and workshops with civil society, practitioners and impacted communities in order to facilitate and advance knowledge exchange. We therefore welcome alternative formats and ideas. Themes for submissions include (but are not limited to): * Citizen juries, assemblies and audits * Participatory data governance and oversight * Data commons and co-operatives * Data activism and resistance * Participatory design and design justice * Digital and human labour in data * Participation, exploitation and coercion * Geopolitics of participation Submissions Deadline for 500-word abstracts: 15th of December, 2019 Submit via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=datajustice2020 All submissions must include a title, author name(s), institutional affiliation(s) and full contact information (mailing address, email address). If you propose a workshop or practical demonstration, please provide a clear statement of purpose and a detailed description of activities, as well as any infrastructure requirements. Please note that time-slots for sessions are 90 minutes. If more is needed, please include an explanation. How to get there Cardiff is a 2-hour train journey west of London and Heathrow airport. The closest airports are Cardiff and Bristol.

Host: Data Justice Lab As the generation, collection and analysis of data continues to transform key aspects of our society across economics, politics and culture, the question of participation has rarely been so pertinent. Democratic processes and traditional avenues for participation are facing challenges as state-citizen relations are increasingly shaped through data analytics and automation at the same time as alternative visions for participatory democracy and decision-making have proliferated. As citizens, we are said to be both coerced and active participants in this shift, both liberated and exploited in the use of digital tools, both more visible and more obscured in data-driven systems. How, then, should we understand civic participation in the datafied society? In what ways are we positioned as citizens in the advancement of datafication? How are decisions made, governance carried out, and systems created? What possibilities exist to intervene in, influence, create and resist power? Who gets to participate and on what terms? How might our institutions and government practices need to change? What are strategies for democratising the emergent datafied society? And what are avenues for enhancing citizen and community participation? This two-day event explores the relationship between datafication and participation. Hosted by the Data Justice Lab at Cardiff University?s School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC), it will bring together international scholars, practitioners, activists, and community groups to discuss the possibilities and challenges of civic participation in a datafied society. Speakers include: Carly Kind (Ada Lovelace Institute) Mark Andrejevic (Monash University, Australia) Nanjira Sambuli (World Wide Web Foundation) Natalie Fenton (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK) Rashida Richardson (AI Now) Tawana Petty (Detroit Digital Justice Coalition) The conference will include both scholarly contributions and workshops with civil society, practitioners and impacted communities in order to facilitate and advance knowledge exchange. We therefore welcome alternative formats and ideas. Themes for submissions include (but are not limited to): - Citizen juries, assemblies and audits - Participatory data governance and oversight - Data commons and co-operatives - Data activism and resistance - Participatory design and design justice - Digital and human labour in data - Participation, exploitation and coercion - Geopolitics of participation *Submissions* Deadline for 500-word abstracts: 15th of December, 2019 Submit via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=datajustice2020 All submissions must include a title, author name(s), institutional affiliation(s) and full contact information (mailing address, email address).

BEYOND BOUNDARIES 15th Annual Communication Graduate Caucus Conference February 27-28, 2020 | Carleton University, Ottawa, ON CALL FOR PROPOSALS What are we bound by? Whether physical, social, cultural, geographical, or political confinements, we routinely encounter boundaries which communication and media cut and cross. While it is a truism that culture and communication inevitably overlap, critical approaches to media studies should interrogate the erosion of clear boundaries between historically demarcated categories, such as: local/global, nature/culture, private/public, and human/non-human. The study of communication and media requires that we confront boundaries - those related to academic disciplines, methodological approaches, and objects of analysis - and question their significance in how we understand our discipline. Are there breaking points, transgressions, leakages, or liminality along the edges of communities or objects? How do we move beyond them? Beyond Boundaries, the 15th annual Communication Graduate Caucus (CGC) Conference, invites explorations of the ways that communication and media cross social, political, technical, and cultural boundaries. Communication studies often grafts on, collaborates, and cross-pollinates, and we thus encourage research that steps outside or extends research domains and practices. We are particularly interested in insights which examine boundaries as sites of struggle and encourage submissions that focus on practices, communities, objects, bodies of knowledge, or activities that are often ignored, violated, invisible, or deleted due to the presence of boundaries. The CGC welcomes proposals for 15-minute individual presentations, research-creation (research that includes creative production, artistic experimentation, and innovation in understanding and mobilizing knowledge). We also welcome proposals for pre-constituted panels composed of 3-4 speakers for a total of 60 minutes of presentation time. Topics and themes may include but are not limited to: * Research that crosses disciplinary boundaries (e.g. gender studies and media, science communication, health communication, law and communication) * Work that expands traditional theoretical or methodological boundaries (e.g., art-based research, sound studies, participant action research, media archeology) * The role of media in redefining epistemological boundaries (e.g. fantasy versus reality, information versus knowledge, data versus experience, facts versus fiction) * Research that interrogates themes of power and control (e.g. who gets to set boundaries? For whom? Under what circumstances?) * Critical examinations of socio-technical phenomena that obscure and shift social and cultural boundaries (e.g. surveillance, privacy, Big Data, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, algorithms) * Discourses of boundary formation, legitimation, and maintenance of boundaries (terms of service, user agreements, laws, policies, guidelines) * Social movements, activism, and resistance at the margins * Identity construction and performativity * Environmental effects of moving beyond ecological limitations Beyond Boundaries is pleased to announce our keynote speaker, Dr. Bobby Benedicto, Assistant Professor in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University. Dr. Benedicto's research re-examines long-held associations at the intersections of queer theory, critical race theory, urban studies, and theories of death and temporality. His current book project "Fatal Sex" highlights cross-disciplinary work that breaks down boundaries by connecting an archive of aesthetic and cultural practices to stage an encounter between psychoanalytic and necropolitical accounts. All submissions should include a 250-word abstract with the full name, current academic affiliation, biography of 50-100 words, and contact information of the individual presenters. Panel proposals should contain abstracts for the panel and for each individual paper (250 words each). It should also include a brief description of the topic's relevance to the conference theme. Research-creation proposals should outline technical requirements needed for their presentation. Please fill out the submission form at https://forms.gle/7uqYUt895ELPYFfQA by December 15, 2019. The CGC Conference provides graduate students and emerging scholars from across the social sciences and humanities an opportunity to present their work, receive feedback, participate in professional development, and network with leading experts in their fields. Upon acceptance, students are encouraged to submit their full paper for the Canadian Journal of Communication Student Paper Prize by January 15, 2020. We look forward to reading your submissions!

Deadline to submit a proposal for the panel: November 10, 2019 Description: What are the challenges, opportunities, pitfalls, and strengths of grappling with feminisms in our methodologies, whether in research or teaching? We seek engagements with methodology as a nexus point for considering the integration of feminist theory and feminist praxis. We follow Morrow, Hawkins, and Kern in arguing that, ?the insights of feminist ethics and a feminist geographical lens are crucial for bringing much needed reflexivity and reciprocity? (2015, p. 527) into research and pedagogy, and therefore methodology needs to be considered through the lenses of diverse viewpoints, ethics, and rigour. While there is no one agreed upon ?feminist? research methodology, some of the commonalities to feminist research traditions include: attempts to dismantle traditional researcher-subject hierarchies, approaching research as a relationship between research and active participants; the use of standpoint and experience as a crucial resource; engagement with the researcher?s own community connections and consideration of life experience as a strength that provides insight and access; feminist theory and critique reaching into all aspects of work, from topic selection to modes of dissemination; inclusion of feminist principles in classrooms and mentorship, curriculum development and departmental structure, and more. To this end, we seek presentations in any of the following areas: * Incorporating feminisms into research design, analysis and/or dissemination * Incorporating intersectionality and moving in and beyond personal subject positions * Employing feminist theory in the classroom * Epistemological approaches to being an ally * Feminist methodology and critical race studies, Indigineity, migration * Feminist methodology, queer studies and trans studies * Feminist methodology and critical disability studies * Feminist methodology and class * Feminist methodology and embodiment (ie., age, fat studies, pregnancy, reproductive rights, women?s health, sexuality studies) * Affect (ie., responses to operationalizing methods, responses to facing institutional and/or systemic barriers, affect in teaching and learning contexts) * Feminist praxis with(in) Research Ethics Boards, feminist research ethics * Limitations of and challenges with feminist methodologies Please submit your 350-500 word paper proposal, following guidelines in attached CFP from CCA, subject line ?CCA Methodology Panel,? to Panel Chairs Emily Hiltz and Melodie Cardin: emily.hiltz at carleton.ca AND melodie.cardin at carleton.ca.

From Hollywood action thrillers like ?The Accountant? to Netflix dramadies like ?Atypical,? there are now more overt representations of autistic characters on screen, advertisements, and in text than ever before. While some might celebrate this growing attention, a number of questions remain. In order to grapple with these questions, we invite paper proposals for panels cross-listed between the Canadian Communication Association (CCA) and the Canadian Disability Studies Association (CDSA) for the 2020 Congress gathering at Western University in London, Ontario between May 30-June 5, 2020. We encourage students, academics of all ranks, community members, and self-advocates to participate. We will offer one student participant a $350 stipend to assist with conference travel or support. Potential Topics Include: ? Is it ethical for actors who are not on the spectrum to ?play autistic?? ? What are best practices for producing media about autistic characters and designing them to be accessible for autistic actors, writers, and consultants? ? What story lines do autistic people play in children?s literature? ? What is the impact of social media for people on the spectrum? ? Do media portrayals reflect the lived realities of people on the spectrum? ? Do autistic audiences take pleasure or enjoyment in consuming certain media texts over others? ? Are the current mainstream depictions of autism helpful to ASD communities in the long run? ? Which autistic individuals get represented most, and is this at the expense of others? ? How can the media better engage with intersectionality and autism? ? How can the media address issues of autism, policing, and incarceration? Proposals should include: ? Author?s name, rank, and institutional affiliation (if applicable) ? Paper Title ? 350-500 word abstract outlining the paper?s main argument or question being addressed, methodological or analytical approach, theoretical framework, how it relates to existing literature and makes a unique contribution. ?

T?LUQ] (French follows) Questioning public policies in media education: An International Conference Organised by the Center for Youth and Media Studies (Centre d??tudes sur les jeunes et les m?dias) and the Canada Research Chair in Media Education and Human Rights May 14th-15th 2020 Universit? Paris Est Cr?teil (UPEC), Cr?teil, France The Center for Youth and Media Studies (?centre d??tudes sur les jeunes et les m?dias?) gathers researchers from various disciplines around emerging issues in the field of media education. In order to reinforce this research network, each year, since 2013, its members organize an international event around themes of media education, youth media use, educational media, and critical pedagogy. In partnership with the Canada Research Chair in Media Education and Human Rights, this new edition will focus on public policies regarding media education. Relying on various levels of analysis (local, territorial, national and international level) as well as various disciplines and methods, the conference will confront theoretical, epistemological, axiological and socio-political positions that orient research on media education. The relations between public policies, training systems, stakeholders and publics (politicians, educators, scientists, students?) will particularly be investigated. Media education is a rich and complex field that emerged through educational practices (not only at school and in the family, but also during extracurricular activities), research, and public policies. Indeed, since it exists, media education has been trying to not only be integrated into school curricula, but also in official phrasing regarding social issues that have long been addressed by the educational community. While the media were developing, the movement for media education integrated these evolutions as new challenges for the school system. For example, since 2012, media education and information education have been put together to form EMI in France (??ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information?), and MIL ? Media and Information Literacy ? on an international level. The current efforts towards data literacy also reflect the evolutionary nature of issues addressed by media education, skills that should be developed in the field, and public policies and supporting educational practices that are needed in order to deal with the complexity of the media landscape. A general movement in favour of media education emerged in the eighties at the local, national and international level. In many countries, educational reforms enabled the creation of programs dedicated to media education. Depending on the context, they were more or less integrated or transversal, responding to different strategies, and unevenly deployed. More and more countries have progressively developed media education in their curricula. They are supported by institutional discourses and prescriptive programs of various quality, complexity and ambition. The discourses as well as the modalities of these programs are in close connection with socio-political contexts and the specificities of the educational systems that support them. In their own way, and together with actual educational practices and media education research, these policies are ?saying? what media education is today. Investigating public policies in media education thus means asking ourselves what this education is, how it is imagined, built and deployed, and how it is used in the field of practice according to specific local contexts, stakeholders? representations, educational resources and available training, national requirements, international recommendations, and so on. Eventually, it means to question global socio-educative projects as well as political and economic interests that are involved since they may follow different, or even conflictual, goals. Since the beginning of the century, the emergence of digital media and a diversification of formats have diversified the ways information is produced and spread, which in turn have changed media use and media culture. These changes mean that we need to broaden the field of intervention in media education and think constantly about discourses accompanying these transformations (prophetic speeches about general access to knowledge, to quote only this one). As part of this constant technological development, data, traces and algorithms (as well as artificial intelligence) are crucial. Let us emphasize that these technical phenomena play an essential role in ordinary communication practices and reveal that a real communicational engineering has been developed by the individuals. The questions about changes in media use lead us, more broadly, to reflect on the imbrications between cultural and political aspects of media education, and investigate how these aspects are taken into account by public policies. To investigate the relations between media education and public policies, international and comparative approaches are welcome since they can identify global phenomena and put light on local specificities. Propositions can be related to the following themes: 1- Institutional discourses about media education The institutionalisation phase of media education is central in its acknowledgment and development. At different moments of its history, and in various places, it has been presented both as an educational opportunity - or necessity - and as a way to deal with crucial societal issues. Thus, the presence of media education in institutional discourses is both a proof of its role in social projects, whose modalities and ideologies depend a lot on the local context, and a way to orient its potential development on a given territory. It is therefore possible to question, among other things, the axiological dimensions of media education in institutional discourses and how they legitimize it. Also, how they take professional practices and research into account can also be investigated while tensions and debates raised by these pedagogical orientations (for instance, the role of informatics in digital education) can be addressed. 2 - Territorial levels and stakeholders? strategies Depending on the country and on the school system, media education is institutionalized on different territorial levels. Some nations may deploy educational policy strategies at the national level relying on a centralised political system, presupposing a homogeneous territory in terms of equipment, training and dedicated staff. Other nations develop these policies on more local levels, under various modes of governance due to specific administrative procedures, or even socio-political or cultural specificities of their territories (regions, states?). These variations allow networks to be developed, as well as institutional, political, educational and cultural stakeholders? strategies dealing with specific educative and cultural realities. As part of this movement, supra-national organisations try to initiate a collective and global dynamic, aiming, among other things, at integrating curricula into national public policies. The strategies of stakeholders who set up media education projects, whether they be public (schools, public media institutions, but also the police, for instance), controlled by a Ministry, or private (insurance companies, commercial or media groups, and so on) can thus be investigated. 3 - Competency frameworks in public policy For about twenty years, following changes in the media landscape, discourses and frameworks about competencies and their qualification were developed: they refer, for instance, to informational, media or digital skills, e-skills, coding or programming skills? At an international or national level, public policies rely on competency frameworks that aim at accompanying individuals ?their whole life?. These frameworks are produced to determine which skills should everyone possess. It is interesting to observe that they share both a political and an economic perspective. On the one hand, these skills are considered necessary for empowering individuals and developing a critical mind, which are both essential to act as a citizen in a democracy. On the other hand, their role in ?employability? and career development, in a perspective of economic growth and competitiveness, is emphasized. Moreover, it is possible to question the norms that are visible in them; how do these frameworks present skills as a pharmakon, a form of intervention on men and women so that they can meet the needs and expectancies of society? Their process of creation and inscription in official education instances can be put into question. 4- Questions surrounding certification and evaluation of public policies How media education is integrated into the curricula, and its level of integration, can be very different, depending on the school system. In this regard, the institutional construction of tools aiming at evaluating their ?effects?, the indicators chosen, and the certification of the students involved can be analysed. Media education meets educative and societal issues that can be addressed by school systems, popular education, or private organisations. How these various stakeholders are coordinated has an impact on the capacity of public policies to evaluate and build this education. The critical analysis of these certifications and evaluations may lead the researcher to investigate the underlying norms that determined their conception, as well as the knowledge and skills they do not cover. Building on this, it will be relevant to observe whether they take informal skills into account and integrate them, and on the other hand, to study how they divide skills using various qualification processes (certified, formal, school competencies). A historical perspective would be useful to determine how these institutions rely on the results of these evaluations to make their educational strategies evolve. 5- Resources and training facilities Questioning public policies also leads us to investigate training schemes, and pedagogical resources through which they become operational. Media education can be apprehended through discourses that define it, assign it to certain norms, accompany it; or through the social and educational intervention measures that give it shape. These measures include pedagogical resources that can take various forms (toolkits, dedicated websites, manuals, games, and so on). Depending on the stakeholders and on the public (at school or not, children, adults, seniors, and so on), they may or may not integrate the frame prescribed by public policies. The papers in that area can be about analysing forms and use of pedagogical resources regarding media education, and their links with public policies. They can also use comparative approaches between various training systems, in order to show to which extend they treat media and information education differently.

Paris Est Cr?teil (UPEC), Cr?teil, France Questionner les politiques publiques en ?ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information (EMI) Le Centre d??tudes sur les jeunes et les m?dias s?est donn? pour mission de rassembler des chercheurs de disciplines diverses autour de probl?matiques li?es ? la constitution du champ de l?EMI. Depuis 2013, le Centre organise annuellement un ?v?nement international permettant de renforcer le r?seau de chercheurs autour de th?matiques en lien avec l??ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information, les pratiques m?diatiques et num?riques des jeunes, les m?dias ?ducatifs, la p?dagogie critique. En partenariat avec la chaire de recherche du Canada en ?ducation aux m?dias et droits humains, cette ?dition 2020 portera sur les politiques publiques en ?ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information. M?lant les ?chelles (locales, territoriales, nationales et internationales), les disciplines et les m?thodes, le colloque visera ? mettre en discussion les positionnements th?oriques, ?pist?mologiques, axiologiques et socio-politiques qui orientent la recherche sur les politiques publiques en ?ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information. Seront particuli?rement questionn?es les relations entre politiques publiques, dispositifs et acteurs (politiques, ?ducatifs, scientifiques, ?l?ves?). L??ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information est un champ complexe et riche qui se d?ploie au sein de pratiques ?ducatives (scolaires, associatives, familiales), de la recherche, et des politiques publiques. En effet, depuis son existence, l??ducation aux m?dias cherche ? prendre place dans les curriculums scolaires, mais aussi dans les formulations officielles de pr?occupations sociales pr?sentes depuis longtemps dans les milieux ?ducatifs. Au fur et ? mesure du d?veloppement des m?dias, le mouvement pour l??ducation aux m?dias a int?gr? les enjeux ?ducatifs de ces ?volutions comme autant de d?fis pour les syst?mes ?ducatifs. Le rapprochement, officiel depuis 2012, de l??ducation aux m?dias et de l??ducation ? l?information (?ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information - EMI - Media and Information Literacy - MIL, dans le contexte anglophone), n?en est qu?un exemple. Le travail actuel sur l??ducation aux donn?es, illustre le caract?re ?volutif des questions trait?es en EMI, des comp?tences qu?elle cherche ? d?velopper et des politiques publiques qui soutiennent les activit?s ?ducatives dans l?objectif de former aux m?dias dans toute leur complexit?. Un mouvement g?n?ral pour le d?veloppement de l??ducation aux m?dias s?est initi? d?s le d?but des ann?es 1980, ? la fois au niveau local, national et international. Dans de nombreux pays, les r?formes du syst?me ?ducatif ont permis l?introduction de programmes d?di?s ? l??ducation aux m?dias, de mani?re plus ou moins int?gr?e ou transversale, dans des approches distinctes d?un pays ? l?autre, et avec un d?ploiement vari?. Progressivement, de plus en plus de pays ont donc d?velopp? une ?ducation aux m?dias dans leur syst?me scolaire, port?e par des discours institutionnels et des programmes prescriptifs de qualit?, de complexit? et d?ambition vari?es. La teneur de ces discours et les modalit?s de ces programmes sont ?troitement li?es aux contextes socio-politiques et aux particularit?s des syst?mes ?ducatifs qui les portent. Aux c?t?s des pratiques ?ducatives effectives, des recherches en EMI et de leur partage, ces politiques contribuent ? ?dire?, ? leurs mani?res, ce qu?est l??ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information aujourd?hui. Questionner les politiques publiques en EMI, c?est donc avant tout se demander ce qu?est cette ?ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information, comment elle se pense, se construit et se d?ploie, comment elle est mobilis?e dans le cadre des pratiques en fonction des modalit?s locales sp?cifiques, des repr?sentations des acteurs, des ressources et formations ? leur disposition, des injonctions nationales, des recommandations internationales, etc. C?est finalement interroger des int?r?ts (politiques, ?conomiques) et des projets socio-?ducatifs aux objectifs parfois hautement contrast?s, voire en tension. Depuis le d?but du si?cle, le d?veloppement des m?dias informatis?s, la diversification des supports, les transformations des conditions de production et de circulation de l?information ont modifi? les pratiques et les cultures m?diatiques. Ces changements impliquent ? la fois un ?largissement du champ d?intervention de l??ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information et une r?flexion constante sur les discours d?accompagnement de ces transformations (discours proph?tiques de l?acc?s g?n?ralis? aux savoirs, pour ne citer que celui-l?). Dans le cadre de ce d?veloppement technologique permanent, les donn?es, les traces et les algorithmes (tout comme l?intelligence artificielle) constituent des objets d?terminants dans le fonctionnement des dispositifs techniques d?inscription. Il est notable que ces ph?nom?nes techniques ont une place pr?gnante dans les pratiques ordinaires de la communication et r?v?lent le d?veloppement d?une v?ritable ing?nierie communicationnelle de la part des individus. Ces questions autour des transformations des pratiques m?diatiques, conduisent, plus largement, ? penser l?imbrication des dimensions culturelles et citoyennes de l?EMI et d?interroger la mani?re dont elles sont ou non prises en charge par les politiques publiques. Pour aborder les questionnements sur les relations entre EMI et politiques publiques, les approches internationales et comparatives seront bienvenues, permettant ? la fois d?identifier des ph?nom?nes globaux et de mettre l?emphase sur les particularismes locaux. Les propositions de communication pourront s?inscrire dans les axes suivants : 1- Des discours institutionnels sur l?EMI La phase d?institutionnalisation de l??ducation aux m?dias est centrale dans la reconnaissance et le d?veloppement de ce champ. ? des moments distincts de son histoire selon les lieux concern?s, pr?sent?e comme une opportunit? ou une n?cessit? ?ducative, elle semble r?pondre ? un enjeu soci?tal majeur. Ainsi, l?apparition de l??ducation aux m?dias dans les discours institutionnels est ? la fois le marqueur de sa reconnaissance dans les projets de soci?t?, selon des modalit?s et id?ologies bien sp?cifiques aux contextes, et une fa?on d?orienter son possible d?ploiement sur les territoires concern?s. Nous pouvons alors questionner, sans s?y limiter, les dimensions axiologiques de l?EMI dans les discours institutionnels et les modalit?s de sa l?gitimation dans ces discours. La prise en compte des pratiques professionnelles et des travaux de recherche au sein de ces discours institutionnels peut par ailleurs ?tre questionn?e. Enfin, les tensions, d?bats que peuvent susciter les orientations p?dagogiques (comme par exemple, la place de l?informatique dans l??ducation au num?rique) peuvent faire l?objet de d?veloppements sp?cifiques. 2- Des ?chelles territoriales et des strat?gies d?acteurs En fonction des pays et des syst?mes ?ducatifs, l?EMI s?institutionnalise ? diff?rentes ?chelles territoriales. Lorsque certaines nations d?ploient des strat?gies politiques ?ducatives ? l??chelle nationale en ad?quation avec un syst?me politique centralis?, sous-entendant une certaine homog?n?it? de leur territoire national en termes d??quipements, de formations et de mise ? disposition de personnels ?ducatifs d?di?s, d?autres autorisent le d?veloppement de ces politiques ?ducatives ? des ?chelles plus locales, selon des modes de gouvernance diff?renci?s et en fonction des modalit?s administratives, voire des particularit?s socio-politiques ou culturelles de leurs territoires (r?gions, ?tats?). Ces variantes territoriales permettent alors le d?ploiement de r?seaux et de strat?gies d?acteurs (institutionnels, politiques, ?conomiques, culturels) diff?renci?s, r?pondant aux r?alit?s ?ducatives et culturelles des espaces concern?s. Dans un m?me mouvement, des organismes supra-nationaux tentent d?impulser une dynamique collective et globale avec comme objectif, entre autres, l?int?gration de curricula dans les politiques publiques nationales. Seront ?galement questionn?es les strat?gies d'acteurs engag?s dans le d?veloppement de projets en EMI, qu'ils soient publics (?coles, institutions m?diatiques publiques, mais aussi gendarmeries par exemple), sous tutelle d'un minist?re ou priv?s (compagnies d'assurance ou groupes commerciaux ou m?diatiques par exemple). 3 - Des r?f?rentiels de comp?tences dans les politiques publiques Depuis une vingtaine d?ann?es, s?observe le d?veloppement de discours et de r?f?rentiels sur les comp?tences et sur leur qualification ? partir des transformations m?diatiques : comp?tences informationnelles, m?diatiques, num?riques, e-comp?tences, comp?tences en code ou programmation... A l??chelle internationale, europ?enne ou nationale, les politiques publiques s?appuient sur des r?f?rentiels de comp?tences qui ont pour ambition d?accompagner les individus ?tout au long de la vie?. Ces r?f?rentiels sont produits pour lister ce que tout un chacun devrait poss?der comme comp?tences. Il est int?ressant d?explorer la mani?re dont ces dispositifs s?inscrivent dans une double perspective, citoyenne et ?conomique. D?une part, ces comp?tences sont consid?r?es comme participant ? l??mancipation et au d?veloppement de l?esprit critique, tous deux n?cessaires au citoyen et au bon fonctionnement de la d?mocratie. D?autre part, elles sont promues comme n?cessaires ? ?l?employabilit?? des individus et au d?veloppement de leur carri?re, dans une optique de croissance et de comp?titivit? des entreprises. Ces r?f?rentiels posent en outre la question de la norme qu?ils d?finissent et imposent. Il s?agira alors d?interroger la mani?re dont ils pr?sentent les comp?tences comme une pharmacop?e, une forme d?intervention sur les hommes et les femmes pour qu?ils correspondent aux besoins et attentes de la soci?t?. On pourra alors questionner leurs modalit?s de cr?ation et d?inscription dans les instances ?ducatives officielles. 4- Des questions de certification et d??valuation des politiques publiques L'EMI est int?gr?e dans les programmes scolaires selon des modalit?s et des niveaux fortement diff?renci?s d?un syst?me ?ducatif ? un autre. Au regard de leurs curricula respectifs, la construction institutionnelle d?outils visant ? ?valuer leurs ?effets? peut ?tre analys?e d?une part, ainsi que le choix des indicateurs et la certification des ?l?ves concern?s, d?autre part. L?EMI r?pond ? des enjeux ?ducatifs et soci?taux qui peuvent se distribuer entre syst?mes ?ducatifs, structures d??ducation populaire, organismes priv?s. La qualit? de la coordination entre les diff?rents acteurs a un impact sur la capacit? des politiques publiques ? ?valuer et ? construire cette ?ducation. L?analyse critique de ces dispositifs de certification ou d??valuation am?ne ? interroger les normes sous-jacentes ? leur conception et mise en oeuvre ainsi que les champs de savoirs et de comp?tences qu?ils ne couvrent pas. Dans le prolongement de ces questions sur le r?le des r?f?rentiels, il sera pertinent d?une part d?observer s?ils prennent en compte les comp?tences informelles et les int?grent, et d?autre part, d??tudier comment ils proc?dent ? une partition des comp?tences par des proc?d?s de qualification (comp?tences scolaires, certifi?es, formelles). Un regard historique peut aider ? d?terminer comment les institutions s?appuient sur les r?sultats de ces ?valuations pour faire ?voluer leurs strat?gies ?ducatives. 5 - Des questions de ressources et de dispositifs de formation La question des politiques publiques nous conduit ?galement ? interroger les dispositifs et les ressources p?dagogiques par lesquelles elles s?op?rationnalisent. L?EMI peut ?tre appr?hend?e ? l?aune des discours qui la d?finissent, la norment, l?accompagnent ; elle peut aussi ?tre appr?hend?e ? partir des dispositifs d?intervention sociale et ?ducatives qui lui donnent corps. Ces dispositifs proposent notamment des ressources p?dagogiques qui prennent des formes diverses (kits de formation, sites d?di?s, manuels, jeux, etc.). En fonction des acteurs qui les portent et des publics qu?ils visent (scolaires ou non, enfants, adultes, s?niors, etc.), ils int?grent ou non les cadres prescrits par les politiques publiques. Les propositions de communication qui s'inscrivent dans cet axe pourront porter sur l?analyse critique des formes et de la mise en ?uvre de ressources p?dagogiques en EMI et de leurs liens avec les politiques publiques. Elles pourront ?galement proposer des approches comparatives entre plusieurs dispositifs de formation afin de montrer en quoi ils pensent diff?remment l??ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information. Modalit?s de soumission des propositions de communication Les propositions de communication doivent e?tre soumises avant le 18 de?cembre 2019 sous forme de re?sume? en franc?ais ou en anglais, uniquement dans le formulaire de d?p?t du site cejem2020.sciencesconf.org (7 500 signes maximum, espaces et bibliographie compris, 5 mots-cle?s, un titre). Dans la proposition, il vous est demand? de respecter l?anonymat, y compris s?il est fait r?f?rence ? des publications ant?rieures du ou des auteur.e.s. Elles seront e?value?es en double aveugle par le comite? scientifique. Les propositions ainsi que les communications peuvent e?tre donne?es en anglais ou en franc?ais.

Are you interested in presenting your project to a small group of experts and peers? Then this master-class of the International Association for Media and History may be just what you are looking for. The master class deliberately has a broad scope, including any research in the field of media and history. But as this is a pre-conference event for a one-day symposium on the research, appropriation and recycling of archival footage, presentations on this area are particularly welcome. Participants are expected to give a short introduction to their project and to prepare some central questions for discussion. Senior members of IAMHIST will engage with your project and discuss sources and strategies for developing it further. A maximum of ten proposals will be accepted. The day is designed to be a small-scale networking event for emerging scholars and media professionals and an opportunity to engage with leaders in the field in a less formal setting than an academic conference. There is no charge for attendance and lunch and an evening cocktail are included. Participants are expected to attend both the master class and the one-day conference. To apply for this event, send a 300-word proposal of your project and a one paragraph bio to IAMHIST President Leen Engelen (leen.engelen at kuleuven.be). Deadline is 15 November 2019.

Editors: Sara Bannerman (McMaster University) and James Meese (University of Technology Sydney) In January 2018, Facebook declared that it would no longer prioritise news content in its NewsFeed. Instead, it would surface posts from 'friends and family', with the goal of bringing 'people closer together' (Mosseri, 2018). Facebook had stopped promoting particular forms of news before (like clickbait headlines) but they had always retained a broad commitment to distributing news content. However, the change in 2018 represented a major pivot for a platform that had increasingly become a central intermediary for online news distribution. In response, digital-first publications, who had staked their business model on Facebook's ability to surface news to audiences, started to lay off staff in significant numbers. These new disruptive news enterprises (like Buzzfeed and Mic) were supposed to usher in a new future for news. However, it appeared that their business models were as unstable as those of their print predecessors. These recent developments have not gone unnoticed by governments. Policymakers and politicians across the world are starting to examine the role that platforms and algorithms play in the distribution of news. Inquiries in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and elsewhere have explored the consequences of the algorithmic distribution of news. Alongside these national inquiries, a broader international discussion has focused on the apparent rise in disinformation and the increasingly partisan nature of political discourse. This discussion has intensified recently, leading to the formation of an International Grand Committee on Big Data, Privacy and Democracy composed of elected officials from governments around the world. This edited collection will respond to this international policy moment and examine the challenges posed by the algorithmic distribution of news. It will critically assess recent media policy developments in this space and explore the broader economic, political and industrial transformations associated with algorithmic distribution. In doing so, we aim to offer a comprehensive account of this moment of institutional change, which has significantly altered the distribution and consumption of news (see Nielsen 2018). The book will be split into two sections. The first section will consist of thematic chapters (5 - 6,000 words) and the second section will feature shorter case studies (3 - 4,000 words) describing and analysing recent policy developments related to algorithmic distribution in particular countries. We are currently in discussions with interested publishers and seeking contributions for both sections. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): - International governance of the algorithmic distribution of news, including the formation and operation of the International Grand Committee; - Measures to support media diversity in light of algorithmic distribution, including measures to support local, Indigenous, alternative, independent, ethnic, women's and minority news media; - Case studies of countries (for section two): how have particular countries approached regulatory problems in light of the algorithmic distribution of news? - Subsidies and tax exemptions that respond to the algorithmic distribution of news; - Discussions of regulations intended to ensure the objectivity and/or transparency of search and recommendation algorithms; - Regulatory measures that respond to layoffs and closures of news outlets; - Intersections between copyright law and news aggregation (such as the EU's Article 11, the 'Google News tax;' - The relationship between news, platforms, and competition law; - Regulation of targeted advertising in relation to news; - Histories of early forays into online (or social) news distribution; - Analyses of innovative forms of news distribution; - Civic risks associated with algorithmic distribution (or online engagement);and - Detailed analyses of relevant inquiries or reform proposals. If you are interested in contributing to either section, please send a short chapter or case study proposal (of about 400 words) and a biography (150 words) by the 25th of October 2019 to james.meese at uts.edu.au and banners at mcmaster.ca Apologies for cross-posting - James Meese Senior Lecturer Digital and Social Media School of Communication Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences T. +61 (02) 9514 2955 PO Box 123.

While the Stonewall Uprising is often characterized as the ?birth? of a western LGBT civil rights movement, we remember Stonewall as a site of queer and trans rebellion against a long history of state violence and neglect that continues to this day. Highlighting connections between the past, present, and future of queer revolution and resistance, the 2019 Toronto Queer Film Festival showcases cutting-edge queer short and feature films. In addition to the festival, TQFF is hosting a Stonewall 50 symposium, a unique gathering of artists, critics, scholars, and performers from across Canada and around the globe to discuss the future of queer and trans media arts activism. Full schedule for the symposium is copied below. *Accessibility*All TQFF events are ?pay what you can? and are wheelchair accessible. All screenings will be closed-captioned and/or ASL-interpreted. Both of our locations will have a prearranged waiting area with seating for audience members who need it prior to the doors opening for every event. Both venues have gender neutral washrooms.

Join us on July 22?24, 2020 for the 11th annual International Conference on Social Media and Society (#SMSociety) . The conference is an interdisciplinary gathering of leading social media researchers, practitioners, and analysts from around the world. The 2020 conference is hosted by the College of Communication , Studio Chi and the College of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University in Chicago, USA. Until a decade and a half ago, large media companies and governments lorded over an oligopoly controlling the means for communicating with the masses. That oligopoly was (temporarily?) broken by the introduction of social media with its revolutionary promise to democratize civil discourse and civil society. It has offered diverse groups the opportunity to connect to one another and form communities of practice that ultimately can serve to strengthen their voice. However, in recent years, we have also discovered that connecting the world via social media leads to new challenges. When so many diverse voices are brought together on a massive scale, conflict is common. Interpretation of this conflict is itself diverse: do we see a rise of incivility or freedom from moral policing? Extremism or idealism? Distrust or critique? The very same digital tools that amplify voices of the marginalized can also be used to silence diverse voices online through online harassment, doxing, trolling, and other measures. In this context, the *International Conference on Social Media & Society* invites scholarly and original submissions that explore key questions and central issues related (but not limited) to the 2020 theme of ?*Diverse Voices: Promises and Perils of Social Media For Diversity*.? We welcome research from a wide range of methodological perspectives employing established quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods as well as innovative approaches that cross disciplinary boundaries and expand our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially research that seeks to explore questions such as: - Can human society handle the connection of diverse and divergent (often conflicting) voices on social media? Is empowering every voice via social media a net good? - Under what conditions can social media build bridges across difference? When does social media reinforce division? - What social media affordances are good or bad in terms of supporting diversity, including but not limited to: race, class, gender, sexual, cultural, political and linguistic diversity? - What is the role of government regulation? Should social media be limited to activities that help to build strong societies? - Is it naive to think that giving everyone a voice will result in increased democracy? - And what is the role of social media in all of these? And how can social media platforms be used to empower marginalized voices? - Can AI and other automated tools help social media consumers and producers to overcome these challenges and provide online spaces for engagement with diverse voices? If so, how? IMPORTANT DATES - Full papers* (6-10 pages) Due: *Jan. 27, 2020* - WIP papers (1000-word extended abstract) Due: *Jan. 27, 2020* - Panels, Workshops, & Posters Due: *Mar. 16, 2020* *Full papers presented at the Conference will be published in the conference proceedings by *ACM International Conference Proceeding Series* (ICPS) and will be available in the ACM Digital Library.

Work is increasingly shaped by technologies such as platforms and algorithmic systems, which standardize and reorganize the labour process, incorporate managerial tasks, and devise new forms of value generation. By decomposing or outsourcing jobs, technologies are being used to make workers increasingly replaceable. New surveillance techniques are used to control and discipline workers, and new forms of despotism in the digital workplace are on the rise. But workers don?t passively obey the rules of the digital economy. In recent years, repertoires of tactics inherited from the industrial era have been revived, adapted, and extended by digital workers to fuel new struggles in the contemporary economy. Look no further than drivers in the ride-hailing industry in the streets of the world, domestic workers and freelancers in North America and Asia, food-delivery couriers in Europe and Canada, warehouse workers in urban peripheries across the globe, software engineers from China to California, and game designers and other digital media workers in cities across North America. The ubiquitous penetration of digital technologies in warehouses, workshops, offices, and app-based workplaces is met with novel workarounds and solidarity-building techniques. Both overt organizing and covert resistance connect workers in traditional sectors like hospitality as well as in booming industries such as logistics, online crowdwork, or the urban gig economy. Scholars from multiple disciplines and labour activists have started to shape the debate around digital worker struggle, but questions remain: What are the new challenges and potentials brought about by the new wave of autonomous decision-making technologies? Which new forms of class composition boost solidarity and organizing in the digitally-mediated work environment? What roles do technologies, cultures, geographies, and infrastructures play in worker organizations? How can tactical media be deployed towards workers? goals? How do workers log out from or subvert digital labour? Building on the success of the 2018 edition, Log Out! 2 brings together critical research on how workers from different sectors of digital capitalism across the world confront, negotiate, and disrupt the technologically-mediated conditions of work that structure and mediate their lives. We are interested in both empirical and theoretical contributions that address worker organizing and unionization, strikes, work refusal, algorithm hacking, tactical interventions, as well as the material and political economic components of resistance. Worker knowledge is critical to understanding labour politics: we welcome contributions from members of worker collectives and labour unions. Log Out! 2 is funded by the McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology and organized by the McLuhan Centre working group on digital labour. It will take place at the University of Toronto on March 13, 2020. Confirmed speakers include Jack Linchuan Qiu (The Chinese University of Hong Kong) and Sareeta Amrute (University of Washington and Data & Society). The conference will also host a roundtable of worker-led organizations, including Foodsters United, Game Workers Unite!, VICE Canada Union, and more to be confirmed. ?Results will be announced in mid-December 2019. Limited funding for travel and accommodation will be made available for selected speakers, with a preference for students, workers, independent or precarious scholars, and speakers from the Global South. In your application please indicate if you need financial support. The organizing committee for Log Out! 2 is composed of Julie Yujie Chen, Nicole Cohen, Alessandro Delfanti, Greig de Peuter, Julian Posada, Brendan Smith.

(2018) is a genre-breaking film that has been winning awards and honourable mentions at film festivals around the world since its release. Combining a visual ethnography of the contemporary lifeworld of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, a philosophical reflection on the material logic of ?the net? as a mode of gathering, closing, capturing, and releasing that operates at multiple levels from aesthetics to religious imagination to politics, and an autobiographical reflection on queer desire, ?Knots and Holes? offers a visually lush, thought-provoking, hypnotic-inducing romp that you will not want to miss! Mattijs van de Port is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His many publications include the widely acclaimed books, Gypsies, Wars, and Other Instances of the Wild (1998) and Ecstatic Encounters: Bahian Candombl? and the Quest for the Really Real (2011). His first documentary film, ?Possibility of Spirits? (2016) also won numerous honourable mentions at ethnographic film festivals around the world and was featured for a special issue of the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute.

Nov 21 6:00-8:00 @Fields Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, I would like to invite you to part 2 of this ArtSci Salon mini-series on life forms in the anthropocene. apologies for multiple postings RB roberta buiani atomarborea.net artscisalon.com ------ Classifying the new? Thursday, November 21, 6:00-8:00 pm The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences 222 College Street please, RSVP here https://bit.ly/2AH1Pe8 Introduction Why do we classify things? what is it for in a time of deep transformations? what is the limit of taxonomy and classification in a the anthropocene? in a 1942 essay Jorge Luis Borges spoke of a "..certain Chinese encyclopedia entitled The Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge. In its remote pages it is written that the animals are divided into a. belonging to the Emperor; b. embalmed c. trained; d. piglets; e. sirens; f. fabulous; g. stray dogs; h. included in this classification; i. trembling like crazy; j. innumerables; k. drawn with a very fine camelhair brush; l.et cetera; m. just broke the vase; n. from a distance look like flies." As silly as they sound, these categories describe specific items according to the place they occupy in our culture and society. They sound somehow comforting because they fit defined boxes. But what if these boxes dissolve, or become empty, or are no longer able to capture one species? With the disappearance and re-appearance of species, and the recent mutations and transformation brought us by climate change and other anthropogenic phenomena, or through in-lab manipulation and digital imaging, the work of the taxonomist has become more challenging: with all these transformations, have traditional categories and taxonomies become obsolete? is classifying still worth it? why do we still do it? Part 1 of the series ended with the image of a mythical animal: the unicorn. The unicorn is not just a fictional character. it speaks to socio-cultural desires and insecurity, it evokes reflections on power relations and conventional wisdom, it questions the ethics of embracing the future or of longing for the past etc... Whether searching for new species before they disappear for good or mapping new species emerging from labs and studio experiments, the artists and scientists involved in part 2 of this series are representative of quite a variety of interpretations of what it means to classify, as well as to question, disrupt, update today's taxonomies. join us to greet our special guests: Richard Pell - Centre for PostNatural History, Pittsburgh, PA https://www.postnatural.org/ Laurence Packer - Mellitologist, Professor of biology and environmental studies, York University https://www.yorku.ca/bugsrus/PCYU/DrLaurencePacker Stefan Herda - earth science artist https://www.stefanherda.com/ Cole Swanson - artist and educator (Art Foundation and Visual and Digital Arts, Humber college) http://www.coleswanson.org/ Anna Marie O'Brien - Frederickson, Rochman, and Sinton labs, University of Toronto https://annamobrien.wordpress.com/ Richard Pell works at the intersections of science, engineering, and culture. He has worked in a variety of electronic media from documentary video to robotics to bioart to museum exhibition. He is the founder and director of the Center for PostNatural History (CPNH), an organization dedicated to the collection and exposition of life-forms that have been intentionally and heritably altered through domestication, selective breeding, tissue culture or genetic engineering. The CPNH operates a permanent museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and produces traveling exhibitions that have appeared in science and art museums throughout Europe and the United States, including being the subject of a major exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London. Laurence Packer is a mellitologist, ie a scholar whose main subject of study is wild bees. his research primarily involves the systematics of the bee subfamily Xeromelissinae - an obscure, but fascinating group of bees, restricted to the New World south of central Mexico. he has also expended considerable energy leading the global campaign to barcode the bees of the world. his work is concerned with promulgating the importance of bees: for genetic reasons, it seems that bees are more extinction prone than are almost all other organisms Stefan Herda's practice explores our troubling relationship to the natural world through drawing, sculpture and video. Inspired by the earth sciences, Herda's work navigates the space between truth and fiction. His material and process-based investigations fuse elements of authenticity, fa?ade, the natural and the manufactured together. He received his BAH from the University of Guelph in 2010. His work in both sculpture and video has been included in exhibitions nationally and has been featured by CBC Arts and Daily VICE. Recently, Stefan has held solo shows at Patel Projects (Toronto) and Wil Kucey Gallery (Toronto), participated in group shows such as Cultivars: Possible Worlds at InterAccess (Toronto) and was featured as one of 12 artists in the Cabinet Project at the University of Toronto Cole Swanson is an artist and educator based in Toronto, Canada. He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and throughout international venues in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. At the heart of recent work is a cross-disciplinary exploration of materials and their sociocultural and biological histories. Embedded within art media and commonplace resources are complex relations between nature and culture, humans and other agents, consumers and the consumed. Swanson has engaged in a broad material practice using sound, installation, painting, and sculpture to explore interspecies relationships. Anna Marie O'Brien is a post doc in the Frederickson, Rochman, and Sinton labs at University of Toronto, working on duckweeds, microbes, urban contaminants, and phenotypes. her PhD work was at Davis, with thesis advisors Dr. Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra and Dr. Sharon Strauss. she also collaborated closely with Dr. Ruairidh Sawers at LANGEBIO-CINVESTAV in Guanajuato, Mexico. thanks to the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences and to the Social Science and the Humanities Research Council of Canada for their support follow us on Facebook and Insta: artscisalon and on twitter: @ArtSci_Salon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Reimagining the Digital Future: Building Inclusiveness, Respect and Reciprocity At the critical juncture of the second decade of the 21st century, the world is facing tremendous challenges. The past three decades of cultural, economic and communication globalisation have created sharp income and wealth inequities, a divisive international community, dysfunctional media, an increasingly fragmented digital culture and an accelerating environmental crisis. We witness growing populism and protectionism and a dissolving consensus on global engagement and international collaboration. We see deepening technological contestation in digital media and artificial intelligence between the world?s two economic powerhouses. We also witness a sharp decline of the quality of national and international information flows as a result of widespread misinformation facilitated by social media. These developments pose urgent questions and challenges for media and communications scholars. What are the reasons for the division, gaps and fragmentation we now see? What roles have digital media communication played in these developments at both the local and global levels? What values should inform our proposals for addressing them? This year?s conference aims to respond to those challenges by re-examining the roles and patterns of global communication while including local voices, seeking critical reflections on the relationship between them, and exploring feasible agendas for a shared digital future based on inclusiveness, respect and reciprocity. In the context of growing divisions between elites and citizens, the economically secure and the marginalised, mainstream and minority cultures, and intensified political polarization, calls for greater inclusiveness of different voices in the media and equality of access and opportunities, become even more pressing. As researchers we need a more comprehensive understanding of the factors promoting and impeding inclusiveness in the ?legacy? print and audio-visual media media domestically and globally and the roles played by existing and emerging digital media. Having a public voice and opportunities for expression, however, does not in itself guarantee that diverse contributions to a common culture will be listened to attentively or treated with respect. IAMCR 2020 addresses respect for both diversities and shared values. Respect embodies respect for local cultural experiences and developmental models as well as respect for human dignity and international law and institutions. It embodies respect for role of ethics in developing the digital technology and for the safety and security of personal data and privacy. Exploring these issues requires us to reconsider to what extent the current global communication and technological landscapes have facilitated these dimensions of respect for diverse voices, experiences and models; and to ask what communicative values and goals would guaranteed the in the future. Promoting inclusiveness and respect are essential preconditions for (re)imagining and developing a shared digital future that challenges and transcends political, religious, and cultural boundaries. But pursuing this goal also requires a commitment to reciprocity based on relations between public, governments and business communities rooted in a shared a commitment to inclusiveness, respect and avoiding exploitation or exacerbating divides and conflicts. Organised by two leading Chinese universities in Beijing and Suzhou, two ancient capitals mixed with the chic of postmodern metropolis, IAMCR 2020 is set to bring together different perspectives on how multi-stakeholders of the global and local communication and media spaces negotiates among heterogeneous communities and institutions in the hope for building an inclusive, harmonious and respectful digital future. Bringing IAMCR to China offers members a unique opportunity to access analysis and commentary on the China?s experience of employing media and digital communication technology.

This year, the IASPM Canada conference will be held in Cape Breton. The CFP can be found online here https://www.iaspm.ca/iaspm-ca-2020-cfp, below, and attached as a PDF. Please share widely! Best, Martin >>> French Follows >>> Big Sounds from Small Places IASPM Canada Annual Conference 2020 Call For Papers Cape Breton University: Sydney, Nova Scotia 12 ? 14 June 2020 Submission Deadline: 15 December 2019 As we enter into a new decade it?s apt to question our place in the world. Almost sixty years ago, Marshall McLuhan notably coined the term Global Village to refer to the global spread of media content and consumption, and yet Canada still struggles with its position in the world as an imposing landmass with a relatively small population, and how that influences where and how its cultural texts are encountered. This conference seeks to address the concept of voice and sound as tied to space and place, in the broadest sense. In regards to popular music in Canada, we have established a strong identity, but one that is often defined in opposition to our more vocal neighbours to the South. As we continuously define and redefine Canadian cultural identity, and cultural outputs, this conference questions how our musical landscape has historically adapted, and will continue to adapt, to an increasingly globalized environment. This is the first time that the IASPM Conference has been held in Cape Breton. And, as such, it opens up a great opportunity to not only address the ?big sounds? that emerge out of ?small places? like Cape Breton, but also wider themes of space and place in popular music, and the relationship between communities and music. While we welcome papers on any aspects of popular music, we encourage papers that align with the conference subthemes: audiences; space & place; and populations & peripheries. Audiences: The digital landscape has dramatically extended the reach of niche music, local musicians, and subcultures/scenes. Potential areas of focus in this theme include, but are not limited to: ? Scenes: from ?small town? roots to urban niches. The history, present, and future of local scenes. ? Digital communities/fans: the spread of Canadian pop through digitality. ? Subcultures: issues of subcultural identity in popular music ? Everyday uses of music ? Listening practices: environmental impacts; listening to music in transit ? Dance and embodied consumption Space & Place: Canada, as a Nation and a concept, continues to exist as both ?village/settlement? and a major player on the global stage. The ways in which popular music also navigates these complicated relationships is often intimately tied how space and place is expressed in music. This can be seen not only in Canadian music, but also throughout a myriad of cultural and national identities. Potential areas of focus in this theme include, but are not limited to: ? Issues of space and place in popular music ? Land-based epistemologies and musical embodiment; the natural environment and music spaces ? ?Small? nations/artists/communities on the global stage ? Live music and venues: small/hidden/underground venues; ?noise? and leaking sounds; busking; rehearsal spaces ? Music-making practices in domestic spaces Populations & Peripheries: How does/can music become the sound of a community? This theme explores the connection between cultural identity, community, and music. In addition, it takes up the notion of peripheries to focus on the marginalized, subaltern, and/or tokenized sounds/identities, and to disrupt hegemonic paradigms. Potential areas of focus in this theme include, but are not limited to: ? Music and cultural, community, and/or national identity ? ?Small? economies in smaller populations ? Issues of music policy and practice ? Making music in jail ? The sounds of Indigenous, Immigrant, Disabled, LGBTQ, and/or Ally communities Submission Guidelines: Abstracts of individual papers, workshops, performances and other presentations should be no longer than 300 words. The program committee is especially interested in proposals in diverse formats. Panel submissions should include a title and abstract for the panel (300 words max.) as well as titles and abstracts for the individual papers on the panel. All abstracts for a panel should be submitted together. Abstracts will be adjudicated individually, so it is possible for a panel to be accepted but not an individual paper and vice versa. Each abstract should also include a short biography of the author (100 words max.) including the institutional affiliation, if any, and email address of each author. Each abstract should also include five keywords. Submissions in French and English are acceptable. All submissions must be submitted as a single Word document with the author's last name as the document file name. Please do not submit your proposal as a PDF. Proposals will be blind reviewed. Email Submissions To: iaspmcanada2020 at gmail.com Presentation Logistics: Papers will be limited to 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of questions. Panels will be limited to a maximum of 4 papers. Other presentations (workshops, film screenings, roundtables, etc.) will generally be limited to 60 minutes, but alternatives can be discussed/proposed.

Maya Stitski, Queen?s University Des grands sons venant de petits lieux Appel ? communications pour la conf?rence annuelle de l?IASPM Canada, 2020 Universit? de Cape Breton : Sydney, Nouvelle-?cosse 12 ? 14 Juin 2020 Date limite des soumissions: 15 d?cembre 2019 ? l?approche d?une nouvelle d?cennie, nous sommes enclins ? penser ? notre place dans le monde. Il y a pr?s de soixante ans maintenant, Marshall McLuhan proposa le terme Global Village en r?f?rence ? la diffusion globale de contenu et de consommation m?diatique. Pourtant, le Canada ?prouve encore de la difficult? face ? sa position dans le monde en tant que vaste territoire relativement peu peupl?, et comment ceci peut influencer o? et comment diff?rentes cultures se rencontrent. ? la lumi?re de ceci, la conf?rence a pour but d?adresser les concepts de voix et de son comme ?tant rattach?s, au sens large, ? un espace et un lieu. Nous sommes parvenus ? ?tablir une puissante identit? avec la musique populaire Canadienne. Toutefois, cette identit? est souvent d?finie en opposition ? nos voisins du sud. Dans notre d?finition et red?finition constante d?identit? et production culturelle canadienne, cette conf?rence explore de quelles mani?res notre paysage musical s?est adapt? dans le pass?, et continue de s?adapter ? un environnement de plus en plus mondialis?. La conf?rence de l?IASPM se tiendra ? Cape Breton pour la toute premi?re fois. Ainsi, cela nous permettra d?aborder les ? grands ? sons qui sortent de ? petits endroits ?, comme Cape Breton, mais aussi d?explorer des th?mes plus larges d?espace et de lieu dans la musique populaire, et la relation entre communaut?s et musique. Bien que nous soyons ouverts ? toute communication concernant la musique populaire, nous encourageons les communications se rattachant aux sous-th?mes de la conf?rence : publics; espace et lieu; et population et p?riph?ries. Publics: Le monde num?rique a grandement ?largi l??tendue de musique sp?cialis?e, de musiciens locaux et de sous-cultures/sc?nes musicales. Les champs d?int?r?t possibles pour ce th?me peuvent comprendre, sans se limiter ? : ? Sc?nes : provenant de petites villes ou de centres urbains. L?histoire, pass?e, pr?sente et future des sc?nes locales. ? Communaut?s/admirateurs en ligne: la diffusion de la musique populaire canadienne sur la sc?ne num?rique. ? Sous-cultures : probl?mes concernant l?identit? sous-culturelle dans la musique populaire. ? La musique dans la vie de tous les jours. ? Pratiques d??coute: impacts de l?environnement; l??coute de la musique en transport ? Dance et l?incarnation de consommation Espace et lieu: Le Canada, en tant que nation et comme concept, continue ? exister ? la fois comme un ? village/colonie ? tout en ?tant un acteur important au niveau mondial. La musique populaire a diff?rentes fa?ons de se d?placer au sein de ses relations complexes, ces d?placements sont souvent intimement li?s aux repr?sentations d?espace et de lieu dans la musique. On observe ce ph?nom?ne non seulement dans la musique canadienne, mais aussi ? travers une multitude de cultures et d?identit?s nationales. Les champs d?int?r?t possibles pour ce th?me peuvent comprendre, sans se limiter ? : ? Probl?mes d?espace et de lieu dans la musique populaire ? ?pist?mologies sur l?environnement et les incarnations musicales; l?environnement naturel et les espaces musicaux ? ? Petit.es ? nations/artistes/communaut?s sur la sc?ne mondiale ? Musique en direct et sc?nes : sc?nes petites/cach?es/underground; ? bruits ? et son qui s??chappent; jouer dans la rue; espaces de pratique ? Pratiques musicales dans les espaces priv?s. Populations et p?riph?ries: De quelles mani?res une musique devient le son d?une communaut?? Ce th?me explore les relations entre l?identit? culturelle, la communaut? et la musique. De plus, le th?me comprend la notion de p?riph?ries afin de mettre l?accent sur les sons/identit?s marginalis?s, subalterne, et/ou utilis?s par pure forme, ainsi que pour d?stabiliser les paradigmes h?g?moniques. Les champs d?int?r?t possibles pour ce th?me peuvent comprendre, sans se limiter ? : ? Musique et culture, communaut? et/ou identit? nationale. ? ? Petites ? ?conomies au sein de petites populations. ? Probl?mes concernant la politique et la pratique musicale. ? La musique dans les prisons. ? Les sons des communaut?s autochtones, immigrantes, handicap?es, LGBTQ et/ou alli?es Directives de soumission : Les r?sum?s des pr?sentations individuelles, d?ateliers, de performances ou autre type de pr?sentation ne devraient pas d?passer les 300 mots. Le comit? de programme s?int?resse particuli?rement aux soumissions de format diversifi?. Les soumissions de table ronde devraient comprendre un titre et un r?sum? (300 mots maximum), ainsi que des titres et des r?sum?s pour les soumissions individuelles de la table ronde. Les r?sum?s de soumissions individuelles pour une table ronde devront ?tre envoy?s ensemble. Ces r?sum?s seront jug?s individuellement, ainsi il se peut qu?une table ronde soit accept?e, mais qu?un texte individuel soit refus? - et vice versa. Chaque r?sum? devrait inclure une courte biographie de l?auteur (100 mots maximum), son institution, ainsi que son adresse courriel. Chaque r?sum? devra aussi inclure cinq mots cl?s.

Deadline: International applicants: Dec 15, 2019 Canadian applicants: Jan 15, 2020 Apply ?here. The University of Winnipeg welcomes applications to its M.A. Cultural Studies program. ? 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 the Practicum in Curatorial Studies. 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 program is taught and supported by established and emerging faculty members from a number of departments at the University of Winnipeg. Our MA cohorts are generally small and there are opportunities to connect with 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 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 for-profit and non-profit companies and organizations. ? For more information, see our website: ?UW Cultural Studies. For questions, contact Dr. Doris Wolf, Graduate Program Chair, at ?CulturalStudiesMA at uwinnipeg.ca.

Our MA application deadline is 15 January 2020, and the PhD application deadline is 1 February 2020. 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 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. Profiles of many of our current PhD students can be found here. The MA in Media Studies is a two-year research-oriented degree that offers options to pursue a thesis, research-creation project, major research paper, or course-based study. Each year we admit a select group of highly motivated students to participate in our small class-sizes and close individual supervision. For a range of topics students pursue in our MA, visit our thesis and research-creation project titles. Both Concordia?s MA and PhD programs support 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. The Department and Concordia have a highly developed tradition for research-creation for over 30 years. Our programs provide advanced training in media and cultural analysis with a special emphasis on publicly and socially engaged practice. Students in our programs 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. Concordia?s MA and 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 graduate programs 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 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 Feminist Media Studio, the Intersectionality Research Hub, the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture & Technology, the Technology-Art-Games (TAG) Centre, the Aging + Communication + Technology project, the Media History Research Centre, the Material Religion Initiative, the Speculative Life Cluster, the Critical Disabilities Studies Working Group, the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling, the Centre for Sensory Studies, and the Montreal Signs Project.

The smart phone puts computers in many hands, and in North American homes, it's common for family members, regardless of age, to have their own devices. This anthology explores how this avalanche of technology has affected family environments, dynamics and mothering. While other studies have focused on how mothers use the internet to access information and online communities, few have honed in on how the internet has changed culture and conduct in the home and introduced new challenges to mothering. This collection examines the pressures of mothering children who are increasingly implicated in digital life, even as mothers are experiencing similar, often unacknowledged, dependency. It also questions the role mothers play in providing and updating computer technology and maintaining spaces of access. The title, Mothering/Internet/Kids, slashed together, implies that we're mothering both the Internet as well as kids. While meant to be playful, it also strikes a serious note and conveys a layered approach: we are not simply mothering children who have grown up in the internet age, but also "managing" the computer, a machine whose intelligence-cum-sentience is receiving increasing recognition as scholars ponder how we define being human in a post-human age. The collection examines how the intimate presence of computer technology in our homes and on our bodies affects family life. An equally pressing question is how the internet as a conduit to a global world has changed perceptions and enactment of parenting/mothering. The anthology tests the assumption that computer technology in the home has an impact on domestic life and family relations similar to that of electricity and home appliances during the post-second-world war period. It builds forward from research studying how mothers are affected by the affordances and dangers of online activity and computer technology by foregrounding questions of how the computer affects the family home and culture and mother/ parent/ child relations. Topics linking computer technology to family life may include, but are not limited to: * Principles and practices mothers use to regulate their own and their children's online social media practices * Influences and impacts of easy and constant access to the internet on family lives and relationships and spaces * Adaptive effects of computer technology within the home on the roles, activities and responsibilities of mothers, mothering and motherhood (changing home entertainment and how we shop, pay bills, communicate and read) * Mediated reality through AI/social media/computer technology; the digital dinner table; screenings for one * Current practices that represent and express [changing] cultural patterns and attitudes * The internet as a closed feedback loop and instrument of social control; strategies developed to resist the power of the internet to shape and monitor how we act and think * The (still untapped) liberatory possibilities of the computer; new soft wares and algorithms.

Message-ID: Dear CCA colleagues, The Rundle Summit 2020 call for presentations is open! The conference, which will take place at the truly spectacular Banff Centre, aims to be the best graduate-student-led summit on communications, media, and technology in the country. Be part of it! The official CFP is below. You can also find it at www.rundlesummit.ca. Submit your abstract by Dec. 3 using the online form. Looking forward to this experience with you. Sincerely, The Rundle Summit team ** Call for Presentations The theme for this year?s Rundle Summit is ?Subduction,? a geological term that describes the phenomenon of one tectonic plate?s sinking beneath another into the Earth's mantle, creating novel geologic features. This slow process creates volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis and, over time, can even build mountains. Similarly, clashes between ideas in media and communication scholarship may result in the sinking of some ideas and the surfacing of others. This conference invites scholarship that reflects on ideas as subduction: what conditions lead to a clash? When do we see some ideas sink and others rise? How is the falling away of one thing the potential creation of another? What conditions limit the subduction of ideas? These are just a few of the questions you might address. ?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. ?Proposal submission deadline: December 3, 2019 Proposal decision notification: December 13, 2019 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our rival worldviews clash with increasing violence in the public arena, culminating in deadly riots and mass shootings. A fragmented left now confronts a resurgent and reactionary right, which threatens to reverse decades of social progress. Commentators have declared that we live in a ?post-truth world,? one dominated by online trolls and conspiracy theorists. How did we arrive at this cultural crisis? How do we respond? This book speaks to this critical moment through a new reading of the thought of Alasdair MacIntyre. Over thirty years ago, MacIntyre predicted the coming of a new Dark Ages. The premise of this book is that MacIntyre was right all along. It presents his diagnosis of our cultural crisis. It further presents his answer to the challenge of public reasoning without foundations. Pitting him against John Rawls, J?rgen Habermas, and Chantal Mouffe, Ethics Under Capital argues that MacIntyre offers hope for a critical democratic politics in the face of the culture wars. REVIEWS ?In our confused time of the culture wars, the ethical foundations of our lives are fatally weakened, caught in the deadly interplay between utilitarianism, relativism, religious fundamentalism, and empty moralist absolutism. Is there a way out of this new Dark Age? Jason Hannan makes a forceful case for the renewed relevance of Alasdair MacIntyre's ethics of the virtues, grounded in a common way of life. Our age of extremes calls for a return to the Aristotelian tradition. What makes Hannan's book especially attractive is his insistence on the anti-capitalist edge of MacIntyre's thought. Ethics Under Capital is a book for everyone in search of a reliable compass in a stormy sea.? ? Slavoj ?i?ek, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for Humanities, and Professor at the Institute of Sociology, Ljubljana, Slovenia ?If you want a quick diagnosis of the present distress and a strong suggestion for a solution, read this book. Its analysis of ethics under capital is as limpid and refreshing as stream water from a glacier melt. Jason Hannan's restorative reading of a contrarian thinker offers a duet of sanity for a world gone mad.? ? John Durham Peters, Mar?a Rosa Menocal Professor of English, Yale University, USA ?Rather than another attempt to explain Alasdair MacIntyre's philosophy, Jason Hannan uses it to interrogate the world of contemporary politics and suggest how it might be changed. Ever wondered what Macintyre can teach us about how to respond to the likes of 4Chan and the Alt-Right? This is the book for you.? ? Neil Davidson, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow, UK ?In Ethics Under Capital, Jason Hannan addresses a moment of crisis and opportunity for the left. Against the false universals of Rawls and Habermas on the one side and the anti-rationalism of Mouffe on the other, he draws on Alasdair MacIntyre's critique of contemporary moral theory to explore the practical and ethically justifiable co-ordinates of resistance to capital and the state. The result is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that deserves to be read by anyone interested in the struggles for a better world.? ? Paul Blackledge, author of Marxism and Ethics and Friedrich Engels and Modern Social and Political Theory ______________________________________ JASON HANNAN, PH.D.

The ?platform turn? in dominant media systems has significant implications for life opportunities, employment, participation in the digital economy (whose content is distributed and prioritized?), the star system (who is promoted and how? what counts as success?), politics (which and whose perspective is dominant? how has political deliberation and debate been re-mediatized?), international relations (whose view of the world is dominant?) and social relations (how are inequities in representation reproduced and transformed?). This conference will draw together researchers in Canada and beyond to explore the intersections between media/communications/cultural policy and platforms. All submissions related to this theme are welcome, including research in the areas of arts policy, broadcasting policy, communication rights, Indigenous communication and cultural policy, competition policy, cultural industries policy, heritage policy, internet policy, media policy, speech regulation, privacy, smart city regulation, and platform regulation. We welcome analysis and case studies at all levels of policy-making, including municipal, provincial and federal, and Indigenous and international research. Confirmed keynote speakers and presenters include Edward Greenspon (Public Policy Forum), Jesse Wente (Indigenous Screen Office), Sharon McGowan (Women in Film and Television-Vancouver, UBC), Laura Tribe (Open Media), Philippe Tousignant (CRTC), David Ogborn (McMaster), Jonathan Paquette (University of Ottawa), Philip Savage (McMaster), Leslie Regan Shade (University of Toronto), Tamara Shepherd (University of Calgary), Ira Wagman (Carleton), and Dwayne Winseck (Carleton). The conference will consider the following key questions: ? How can Canadian media systems respond simultaneously to the challenge of digital platforms and to calls for a greater diversity of on-screen and off-screen voices? ? How are platforms taking on, or failing to take on, regulatory roles in the fields of communication and culture? ? How does the international political economy of platforms play out in media/communications/cultural policy? ? How does algorithmic governance function as regulation and policy setting in these fields? ? How are regulatory bodies in the field of communication and culture reconceptualizing their work in light of platforms? ? What relationships and interactions do regulators, as well as arts, media, and cultural organizations, have with platforms? ? How are regulatory bodies in the field of communication and culture incorporating platforms to conduct their work? ? How do advocacy, activist, and social justice initiatives intercede in the relationships between platforms and media/communications/cultural policy? ? How do comparative political cultures influence national regulatory agendas? What criteria may enable new comparative research? This conference welcomes submissions from all researchers, including doctoral and master?s students. Prospective participants should submit a 300-word abstract, along with a 150-word bio, including title and institutional affiliation, for a 15-20 minute presentation to https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=comcultpolicy2020# by *December 15th 2019* for peer review. Invitations will be announced by January 15th 2020. Contributions may be invited for a publication project after the conference. Questions may be addressed to Sara Bannerman at banners[at] mcmaster.ca. Visit the conference web site at http://comcultpolicy2020.ca. The conference will be preserved in an online video archive. Conference participants will have the opportunity to contribute to a white paper outlining policy recommendations arising from the conference discussions. -- Sara Bannerman, B.Mus., MA, PhD Canada Research Chair in Communication Policy and Governance Associate Professor Department of Communication Studies and Multimedia Togo Salmon Hall, Room 302 McMaster University 1280 Main St. W.

We encourage multidisciplinary engagement on the power of books in bridging social, ethnic, political, economic, and epistemological divides more broadly, while forming fresh visions for bibliographical and book studies. To explore the conference theme, proposals for papers and panels are invited in the following subject areas: 1. the decolonization and anti-racism of bibliographical and book studies to redress gaps in representation, approach and/or genre; 2. the evolution of publishing within the diverse minority linguistic, ethnic, and cultural groups in Canada and the challenges faced by researchers who seek to document this output; 3. explorations of the many diverse approaches to book culture through historical, literary, cultural, sociological, technological, and bibliographical studies; 4. confronting the histories of diverse communities of readers, writers, printers, and publishers; 5. the responsibility of libraries, archives, and museums to diverse communities in the preservation and access of texts beyond the book and traditional knowledge formats; 6. the role played by Canadian small presses and campus literary journals in giving voice to previously unheard voices and as a learning venue for future writers and publishers; and 7. investigations of social media and digital texts to bridge studies of publishing, readerships, and authorship across bibliographical and book studies. In recognition of our gathering in London, proposals that address aspects of the history, literature and book culture of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, L?naap?ewak, Attawandaron (Neutral) peoples, and African Canadians, or consider the wider Congress theme of colonialism and anti-black racism, are particularly encouraged.

Accepted papers and panels that meet these criteria will be highlighted in special plenary sessions throughout the conference. Additionally, Black and/or Indigenous graduate students accepted to the conference will be eligible for a small bursary to offset travel and registration costs. We acknowledge that the Western University campus is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, L?naap?ewak and Attawandaron (Neutral) people, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and with the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. This land continues to be home to diverse Indigenous peoples who are recognized as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors to society.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP The paper competition is open to untenured professors, advanced graduate students, and post-doctoral scholars in law and the humanities. In addition to drawing from numerous humanistic fields, we welcome critical, qualitative work in the social sciences. We are especially interested in submissions from members of traditionally underrepresented groups. We welcome submissions from those working at regional and teaching-intensive institutions. Based on anonymous evaluation by an interdisciplinary selection committee, between five and ten papers will be chosen for presentation at the June Workshop. At the Workshop, two senior scholars will comment on each paper. Commentators and other Workshop participants will be asked to focus specifically on the strengths and weaknesses of the selected scholarly projects, with respect to subject and methodology. The selected papers will then serve as the basis for a larger conversation among all the participants about the evolving standards by which we judge excellence and creativity in interdisciplinary scholarship, as well as about the nature of interdisciplinarity itself. The selected papers will appear in a special issue of the Legal Scholarship Network; there is no other publication commitment. (We will accommodate the wishes of chosen authors who prefer not to have their paper posted publicly with us because of publication commitments to other journals.) The Workshop will pay the domestic travel and hotel expenses of authors whose papers are selected for presentation. For authors requiring airline travel from outside the United States, the Workshop will cover such travel expenses up to a maximum of $1000. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers must be works-in-progress that do not exceed 15,000 words in length (including footnotes/ endnotes); most papers selected for inclusion in recent years have been at least 10,000 words long. An abstract of no more than 200 words must also be included with the paper submission. A dissertation chapter may be submitted, but we strongly suggest that it be edited so as to stand alone as a piece of work with its own integrity. A paper that has been submitted for publication is eligible for selection so long as it will not be in galley proofs or in print at the time of the Workshop; it is important that authors still be in a position at the time of the Workshop to consider comments they receive there and to incorporate them as they think appropriate in their revisions. We ask that those submitting papers be careful to omit or redact any information in the body of the paper that might serve to identify them, as we adhere to an anonymous or ?blind? selection process. Submissions (in Microsoft Word?no pdf files, please) will be accepted until December 2, 2019, and should be sent by e-mail to: juniorscholarsworkshop at sas.upenn.edu. Please be sure to include your name, institutional affiliation (if any), and phone and e-mail contact information in your covering email, not in the paper itself. For more information, please send an email inquiry to juniorscholarsworkshop at sas.upenn.edu. To see selected papers from some previous years? workshops, go to: http://www.law.columbia.edu/center_program/law_culture/lh_workshop.

Dear friends of open government, Join us for a webinar on open data! We?ll explore how the history of open data can provide insight into future digital government initiatives. Looking ahead can sometimes require us to look back. As open and digital governments are becoming integral to better services to citizens, it is important to understand what was done in the past, what worked, and what didn?t (and why). Join our guest speakers, Dr. Tracey Lauriault, a member of the Multi-stakeholder Forum on Open Government, a Carleton academic and an open data advocate, and Jaimie Boyd, Chief Digital Officer for the Government of British Columbia, to explore the following questions: ? How did open data get started in Canada? ? What were some of the major milestones and issues along the way? ? What can we learn from the open data journey to improve future digital government initiatives? ? How can governments (at all levels) leverage open data lessons learned to improve services to Canadians? You?ll also have the opportunity to ask questions. Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) Services will be available for this webinar to increase accessibility for people who are culturally deaf, oral deaf, deafened and hard of hearing. Register now! You can register to this webinar by clicking the links below: ? Registration for the English webinar ? November 28, 2019 from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM EST ?

Message-ID: Dear CCA colleagues, and especially grad students, The Rundle Summit 2020 call for presentations has been extended! Please consider submitting an abstract by December 9. This year, we?re proud to be offering the Rundle Summit 2020 Prize for best presentation. This prize does not require you to write a paper but rather to give it your best when it?s your turn to talk. Sincerely, The Rundle Summit team About The Rundle Summit: The Rundle Summit is a graduate-student-led conference that focuses on bringing together academic and professional perspectives on communication. The conference is sponsored jointly by the University of Calgary?s graduate program in Communication, Media and Film and the University of Alberta?s Master of Arts in Communications and Technology program. With these two hosts, the conference locates important intersections and divergences between theoretical and applied work. We welcome participants from across the world and from any relevant discipline to join our discussion. ** Call for Presentations Proposal submission deadline: December 9, 2019 Proposal decision notification: December 16, 2019 The theme for this year?s Rundle Summit is ?Subduction,? a geological term that describes the phenomenon of one tectonic plate?s sinking beneath another into the Earth's mantle, creating novel geologic features. This slow process creates volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis and, over time, can even build mountains. Similarly, clashes between ideas in media and communication scholarship may result in the sinking of some ideas and the surfacing of others. This conference invites scholarship that reflects on ideas as subduction: what conditions lead to a clash? When do we see some ideas sink and others rise? How is the falling away of one thing the potential creation of another? What conditions limit the subduction of ideas? These are just a few of the questions you might address. ?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. ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The priority-consideration deadline for both domestic and international applicants is 15 January 2020. The Joint Graduate Program in Communication & Culture is a unique partnership between two leading Canadian universities that offers students a distinctly interdisciplinary perspective on the study of communication, media, and culture. Drawing from a number of disciplines and departments at both institutions, the faculty members collectively represent a breadth of perspectives and professional experience in communications, the social sciences, humanities, media, and fine arts. The Joint Graduate Program in Communication & Culture is distinctive for its recognition of academic, professional, and creative practice-based approaches to scholarship in communication studies. The program curriculum is organized in three flexible areas of study-Media and Culture, Politics and Policy, and Technology in Practice-with the objective of preparing students to investigate and interrogate contemporary and historical issues and practices. It reflects the view that advanced work in the field of Communication Studies requires not only a thorough grounding in theory, history, and method but also an understanding of the practices, processes, and technologies involved in communication and cultural production. In keeping with its interdisciplinary and comprehensive conception of the field, the program allows students to report research in the form of a major research paper, thesis, or project for the MA degree, and includes research creation as an option for the PhD dissertation. Our alumni have found success throughout Canada and around the world across many sectors, including: academia, arts and culture management, policy, public service, journalism, marketing communications, publishing, photography, project management, freelance writing and editing, non-profit administration, law, film, and design. For more information about the program, please consult the Communication & Culture homepage.

Young) Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2019 14:27:45 +0000 Subject: [acc-cca-l] CFP - Recounting Algorithms: A Workshop on Critical Algorithm Studies in the Library, 7-8 May 2020 at UTM Library Message-ID: *Apologies for cross-posting* Recounting Algorithms: A Workshop on Critical Algorithm Studies in the Library University of Toronto Mississauga Library May 7-8, 2020 https://www.recounting.net/ Call for Proposals How can libraries and archives best contribute to emerging critical discourses around algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence? Recounting Algorithms is a two-day workshop, supported by the Council on Library and Information Resources and hosted by the University of Toronto Mississauga Library, that aims to enrich the intersections of critical algorithm studies and academic librarianship. Efforts to historicize, culturally situate, and foreground algorithmic systems as manifestations of bias and power have flourished recently. Work in this area has contributed important insights into the often oppressive operational conditions of systems used to automate tasks such as hiring, criminal risk assessment, supply chain management, web page ranking, and surveillance. The robustness of this growing field of inquiry is demonstrated in the varied institutional backgrounds of those who have contributed to it?they include journalists, artists, advocates, and academic researchers from across the disciplinary spectrum. Librarians and archivists are beginning to incorporate aspects of this critical discourse through projects that advance algorithmic literacy and initiatives, like Information Maintainers, that emphasize the intersection of information technology, data governance, and social justice. Relatedly, initiatives such as Emulation as a Service and Collections as Data suggest new services and infrastructures that might facilitate analysis of algorithmic systems. We invite proposals for pedagogical resources, creative projects, and library services that explore how libraries can support and build on investigations of algorithmic systems (including, machine learning and AI) and their enabling social conditions. While proposals should be oriented toward the library as a context for sustaining and supporting instruction and critical inquiry, we encourage submissions from non-librarians, particularly from educators, researchers, graduate students, artists, journalists and advocates. Potential themes include but are not limited to: * Projects to collect, preserve, and curate materials relevant to the study of algorithmic systems. * Resources for addressing emerging aspects of information and digital literacy related to machine learning and artificial intelligence. * Projects that reframe core values and practices (such as access and literacy) in light of work from critical algorithm studies. Invited workshop participants will present their proposals (in draft or prototype form) and engage in workshop activities to refine and develop them using constructive input from the group. Workshopped projects will be shared as an online resource following the workshop. Submissions Submissions should include a project abstract (500-word max) and bio (50 word max) for each presenter. If submitting with co-authors, please limit the group to no more than three presenters. Please submit all materials via email recountingalgs at gmail.com by January 17, 2020. Successful applicants will be notified of acceptance by February 7, 2020. Email recountingalgs at gmail.com with additional questions.

The ?platform turn? in dominant media systems has significant implications for life opportunities, employment, participation in the digital economy (whose content is distributed and prioritized?), the star system (who is promoted and how? what counts as success?), politics (which and whose perspective is dominant? how has political deliberation and debate been re-mediatized?), international relations (whose view of the world is dominant?) and social relations (how are inequities in representation reproduced and transformed?). This conference will draw together researchers in Canada and beyond to explore the intersections between media/communications/cultural policy and platforms. All submissions related to this theme are welcome, including research in the areas of arts policy, broadcasting policy, communication rights, Indigenous communication and cultural policy, competition policy, cultural industries policy, heritage policy, internet policy, media policy, speech regulation, privacy, smart city regulation, and platform regulation. We welcome analysis and case studies at all levels of policy-making, including municipal, provincial and federal, and Indigenous and international research. Confirmed keynote speakers and presenters include Edward Greenspon (Public Policy Forum), Jesse Wente (Indigenous Screen Office), Sharon McGowan (Women in Film and Television-Vancouver, UBC), Laura Tribe (Open Media), Philippe Tousignant (CRTC), David Ogborn (McMaster), Jonathan Paquette (University of Ottawa), Philip Savage (McMaster), Leslie Regan Shade (University of Toronto), Tamara Shepherd (University of Calgary), Ira Wagman (Carleton), and Dwayne Winseck (Carleton). The conference will consider the following key questions: ? How can Canadian media systems respond simultaneously to the challenge of digital platforms and to calls for a greater diversity of on-screen and off-screen voices? ? How are platforms taking on, or failing to take on, regulatory roles in the fields of communication and culture? ? How does the international political economy of platforms play out in media/communications/cultural policy? ? How does algorithmic governance function as regulation and policy setting in these fields? ? How are regulatory bodies in the field of communication and culture reconceptualizing their work in light of platforms? ? What relationships and interactions do regulators, as well as arts, media, and cultural organizations, have with platforms? ? How are regulatory bodies in the field of communication and culture incorporating platforms to conduct their work? ? How do advocacy, activist, and social justice initiatives intercede in the relationships between platforms and media/communications/cultural policy? ? How do comparative political cultures influence national regulatory agendas? What criteria may enable new comparative research? This conference welcomes submissions from all researchers, including doctoral and master?s students. Prospective participants should submit a 300-word abstract, along with a 150-word bio, including title and institutional affiliation, for a 15-20 minute presentation to https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=comcultpolicy2020# by *December 15th 2019* for peer review. *Les r?sum?s peuvent ?tre soumis et les pr?sentations peuvent ?tre faites en fran?ais ou en anglais.* Abstracts may be submitted, and presentations may be made, in French or English.

Failing Gloriously by Shawn Graham at Carleton University in Ottawa ? published in open access (through a CC-BY license) by the Digital Press at the University of North Dakota (https://thedigitalpress.org/). Here?s the description from the publisher: The essays in this collection document Shawn Graham?s odyssey through the digital humanities and digital archaeology set against the changing landscape of the 21st-century North American university. Stylish, insightful, and heartfelt, Graham reflects on the role of failure over the course of his career. This isn?t another Silicon Valley-type success story. Instead, Graham, who is an Associate Professor of Digital Humanities at Carleton University in Ottawa, reframes failure outside of a triumphant narrative and uses his own struggles as a way to remind us, "Don't be an asshole. Practice radical kindness. Help other people avoid the rocks." It includes a foreword by Eric Kansa and an afterword by Neha Gupta. As all of the Digital Press's books, this is available as a free download (at https://thedigitalpress.org/portfolio/failing-gloriously-and-other-essays/) or for $9 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Failing-Gloriously-Other-Essays-Graham/dp/173284108X/).

Deadline: 15 December 2019 Civic Participation in the Datafied Society Date: May 28-29, 2020 Location: Cardiff University in Cardiff, UK. Host: Data Justice Lab As the generation, collection and analysis of data continues to transform key aspects of our society across economics, politics and culture, the question of participation has rarely been so pertinent. Democratic processes and traditional avenues for participation are facing challenges as state-citizen relations are increasingly shaped through data analytics and automation at the same time as alternative visions for participatory democracy and decision-making have proliferated. As citizens, we are said to be both coerced and active participants in this shift, both liberated and exploited in the use of digital tools, both more visible and more obscured in data-driven systems. How, then, should we understand civic participation in the datafied society? In what ways are we positioned as citizens in the advancement of datafication? How are decisions made, governance carried out, and systems created? What possibilities exist to intervene in, influence, create and resist power? Who gets to participate and on what terms? How might our institutions and government practices need to change? What are strategies for democratising the emergent datafied society? And what are avenues for enhancing citizen and community participation? This two-day event explores the relationship between datafication and participation. Hosted by the DataJustice Lab at Cardiff University?s School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC), it will bring together international scholars, practitioners, activists, and community groups to discuss the possibilities and challenges of civic participation in a datafied society. Speakers include: Carly Kind (Ada Lovelace Institute) Mark Andrejevic (Monash University, Australia) Nanjira Sambuli (World Wide Web Foundation) Natalie Fenton (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK) Rashida Richardson (AI Now) Tawana Petty (Detroit Digital Justice Coalition) The conference will include both scholarly contributions and workshops with civil society, practitioners and impacted communities in order to facilitate and advance knowledge exchange. We therefore welcome alternative formats and ideas. Themes for submissions include (but are not limited to): * Citizen juries, assemblies and audits * Participatory data governance and oversight * Data commons and co-operatives * Data activism and resistance * Participatory design and design justice * Digital and human labour in data * Participation, exploitation and coercion * Geopolitics of participation Submissions Deadline for 500-word abstracts: 15th of December, 2019 Submit via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=datajustice2020 All submissions must include a title, author name(s), institutional affiliation(s) and full contact information (mailing address, email address).

A downloadable PDF of the report can be found here, with the scope of its coverage and a summary of its key findings outlined in the Executive Summary at the front of the report. Here's a snapshot of what we cover: [image.png] The report covers twenty different sectors of the telecommunications, internet and media industries over a timespan of nearly three-and-a-half decades. It offers a wealth of data, analysis and insights into, for example, the state of mobile wireless and internet access markets and use in Canada and in international comparison to other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and European Union countries. The report also brims with data and analysis of the fast evolving stature and place of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Netflix within Canada, including in relation to their respective revenues, market shares as well as their scale and scope relative to major Canadian players like Bell, Rogers, Telus, Shaw, Quebecor, the CBC and other key actors. The report also covers the melt down of several advertising-supported media sectors--broadcast tv and radio, newspapers and magazines?which, as we show in detail, collectively lost $4.4 billion over the last decade, and with thousands of full-time journalist jobs cut in the last five years alone. At the same time, however, we also show that the locus of the network media economy in Canada has shifted further and further away from advertising-supported content media industries to those that are based on ?connectivity? and ?bandwidth? as well as subscription fees and direct payments, for example, mobile wireless and internet access services and an expanding range of audiovisual ?screen media?, from pay TV services to subscriber-based online video, music and gaming services. Indeed, as the report shows, the explosive growth of online video and music subscription and download services, online gaming apps, downloads and in-game purchases, and app stores (i.e. Google Play and Apple's App Store) has not only contributed to the rapid growth of the network media economy but to much upheaval that has all of the actors in these industries, regulators and policy-makers, scholars, journalists and other observers alike scrambling to make sense of their significance and implications. Lastly, this report sets the stage for the second report in our annual series to be released next week that will examine whether or not each of the sectors outlined above, and the network media economy as a whole, has become more or less concentrated over time. Both reports also engage extensively with the state of telecommunications and broadcasting policy as well as the fast-emerging prospects for digital platform regulation.

The network media economy has more than quadrupled in size, from $19.4 billion in 1984 to $86 billion last year, and continues to grow at a quick pace overall. ? mobile wireless and internet access services continue to grow briskly, with revenues rising to an estimated $28.1 billion and $11.9 billion, respectively, last year; while cable, IPTV and satellite TV continued to slide to $8.4 billion?a decline from all-time highs of $8.9 billion a half-decade ago. Wireline revenues (e.g. revenues from ?plain old telephone service?) continued their long-term fall to $12.3 billion in 2018. ? the adoption and use of wireline internet access is high in Canada relative to other OECD countries, but speeds are mediocre, prices high, data usages below the OECD average, and data caps still extensively used and set at low levels whereas in most countries that are comparable to Canada they are rare and the cost of exceeding them not as punishingly expensive. ? mobile wireless (i.e. the mobile internet) adoption in Canada ranks very poorly against other OECD countries. For example, Canada ranks a lowly 31st out of 37 OECD countries in terms of adoption?a drop in rank compared to other countries over the previous year; it also does not fare well in terms of mobile data use, either, ranking 30th out of 36 OECD countries surveyed with an average of 2.5 GB of mobile data usage per subscriber per month?about half the OECD average and far below, for example, Finland (19.4 GB), Austria (16.4 GB), Denmark (7.6 GB), France (5.6 GB) and the US (5.4 GB). ? over one-quarter of households in the lowest income quintile do not subscribe to a mobile wireless service. By contrast, mobile wireless service is nearly universal for the most well-off households. ? the cost of media devices is plunging but the cost of communication services like broadband internet access and cable TV (including IPTV) continue to rise briskly relative to the consumer price index while the price of mobile phone services have declined modestly since 2015. ? Total advertising spending has declined in ?real dollar? terms on a per capita basis, relative to the media economy, and in relation to the gross domestic income of Canada, for most of the past decade. This relative decline of advertising revenue over the last decade wiped out between $765 million and $1.1 billion in such revenue?a loss of roughly 5 to 10 percent of total advertising revenue over a decade. ? TV advertising spending also peaked at $112 per capita in 2011 but fell to $82.80 last year in real dollar terms. Subscriber fees now account for nearly two-thirds of revenue for all television services, i.e. broadcast, pay and specialty, and online video services. ? As a result of the long-term, downward pressure on advertising revenue, several media sectors that depend primarily on advertising are in crisis, e.g. broadcast TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. Collectively, these media sectors have lost $4.4 billion in revenue, eight broadcast television stations have gone dark and numerous daily newspapers have either been closed or pared back their publishing schedules since 2008. Over the last five years, 2,800 full-time journalist jobs have been eliminated. For these media sectors, and the critically important functions that they support?namely professional and local journalism?these are dark days indeed. ? Newspapers are in turmoil with revenue plunging from a high of $4.7 billion in 2008 to $2.3 billion last year. This sector is truly in crisis but the causes are much deeper and more complex than assumed by those who simply blame Google, Facebook and the Internet for this state of affairs. After rising steadily over the long run from 1987 until 2013, the number of full-time journalists has dropped by over twenty percent in the last 5 years, falling from 13,000 in 2013 to 10,200 last year. As the number of full-time journalists shrinks, the void is being filled by a vast expansion in the ranks of public relations, advertising and marketing professionals. ? On more optimistic note, Canadians consult a wide-range of ?old? and ?new? as well as ?domestic? and ?foreign? news sources online: e.g. the CBC, Postmedia, Torstar, CTV, Globe and Mail, Huffington Post, CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, the BBC, Yahoo!-ABC, etc. However, none of the ?digital native? Canadian news organizations such as the National Observer or The Tyee appear on the list of the top 50 internet news sites visited by Canadians. ? While overall advertising revenue stagnates (in real dollar terms), or is creeping upwards very slowly in nominal terms, internet advertising continued to soar last year to an estimated $7.7 billion?up from $6.8 billion over the previous year. ? Internet advertising, however, continues to become more concentrated, with Google and Facebook accounting for 77.2% of the online advertising market in 2018?an modest rise over the previous year but a rise all the same based on the ?digital duopoly? taking well-over four-fifths of the year-over-year increase in internet advertising revenue. ? The real centre of the media economy is subscriber fees. They outstripped advertising revenue by a ratio of more than 5:1 in 2018. The ?pay-per media? (e.g. mobile phones, internet access, pay and specialty TV and over-the-internet video, gaming and music subscription and download services) are vastly more significant in terms of sheer economic size than advertising-based media (e.g. broadcast TV, internet advertising, newspapers) when assessed across the whole network media economy. ? revenues for online video, music, gaming and app stores?i.e. digital audiovisual media services (AVMS)?have seen explosive growth in the last five years, soaring from $1.4 billion in 2014 to nearly $4 billion last year. Add in internet advertising, and the digital AVMS sectors constituted a $11.7 billion pillar of the network media economy in 2018, or 14% of all revenue?double what it was in 2014. Revenue for the digital AVMS sectors will likely surpass those of their non-digital counterparts (i.e. broadcast TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc.) in the next eighteen months. ? The rapid growth of online advertising and digital AVMS has seen major global actors like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft (the so-called GAFAM group of internet giants) as well as Netflix move more deeply into the media landscape in Canada than ever before. Communication and media companies in Canada are face intensifying competition with these global internet giants in AVMS services as a result. Combined, they had a total of $7.7 billion in revenue last year. That said, it is important not to exaggerate the influence of the GAFAM group of digital platforms and Netflix because their combined market share adds up to about 9% of all revenue for the network media economy. ? The ?big 5? communication and media companies in Canada, in contrast, account for nearly three-quarters of all revenue across the network media economy: Bell, Rogers, Telus, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor. ? The telcos own all the major commercial TV services in Canada. This arrangement stands in contrast to those in the US, UK and most of Europe, which helps explain why broadcast TV and Canadian internet streaming options have fared poorly in Canada relative to those countries. ? While broadcast TV in Canada is in dire straits, it is important to ask why conditions are especially bad in Canada relative to other countries where, while not necessarily thriving, broadcast TV is surviving. ? Overall, the TV marketplace in Canada has and is thriving with fundamentally new pay TV sectors added to it over time, including the rapid growth of over-the-internet video services. Based on CMCR data, total TV revenues had soared to over $8.7 billion in 2018 or to an unbelievable $11.3 billion if the CRTC?s figures for download, subscription and ad-based video-on-demand (AVOD) services are used (this report is very skeptical of the magnitude of value the Commission assigns to these services). ? Netflix had an estimated year-over-year average of 7.3 million subscribers and $1 billion in Canadian revenue in 2018. At year?s end, about 54% of all Canadian households subscribed to Netflix. It is now the fourth largest TV service operator in Canada, and nearly twice the size of Quebecor?s TV operations (not including cable). ? Cable ?cord-cutting? is real but still modest. Total subscribers fell from 11.5 million in 2012 to 10.8 million last year. Accounting for population growth, 76% of all households subscribed to a cable television service last year?down from an all-time high of 85.6% in 2011. ? Telus, Bell and SaskTel had 2.8 million IPTV subscribers between them at the end of 2018 and accounted for just over a quarter of all cable TV subscribers and revenues. Competition between the telcos? and cable companies? video distribution platforms has intensified in recent years. ? Fibre-based broadband infrastructure is under-developed by international standards, with penetration levels of roughly half the OECD average. Canada ranked 25th out of 37 OECD countries in 2017 in terms of fibre-to-the-doorstep?the internet infrastructure of the 21st Century. ? The impact of cord-cutting, Netflix, Google, on the ?broadcasting system? is real, but exaggerated. While many try to equate Netflix and other online audiovisual media services with broadcasting, the correct reference is to video-on-demand services, which have traditionally been treated with a much lighter regulatory hand than their linear counterparts. Casting the growth of online audiovisual services as a threat to the ?broadcasting system? biases how they are framed and compromises how we might draw more potentially useful lessons from the European Union?s Audiovisual Media Services Directive (2016)). ? Appeals to policy makers and the CRTC to adopt an ?internet levy? and to require that ISPs and mobile operators selectively use data caps and zero-rating to promote Canadian content should be treated with great skepticism in light of these realities, principles of common carriage and the already very high cost and low levels of internet data usage in Canada.

The successful candidates will be responsible for teaching and coordinating courses in one of the four BPA majors: Communication Studies; Criminal Justice; Governance, Law, and Management; and Human Services. Housed in the Centre for Social Sciences, these full-time positions are located in Alberta. The ideal candidates will have a PhD in the Social Sciences or Humanities; they must have a demonstrated track record of and passion for community engagement. Athabasca University (AU) is a fully accredited, comprehensive academic and research university with a commitment to facilitating open access to education. Its BPA degree completion programs exemplify AU?s mandate of removing barriers to higher learning; students complete a 60-credit college diploma and complete their last 60 credits toward a university degree at AU. Our goal is to realign the BPA programs to serve Indigenous learners who seek to enter the workforce in a professional capacity via multiple educational pathways. The successful candidates will have research interests that intersect the calls to action identified in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission?s Final Report. While each BPA program has a distinct disciplinary lens, they all share an interest in decolonization, human rights, gender, social justice, building governance capacity, surveillance, transparency and accountability. In addition to building expertise in these areas, research contributions from an Indigenous perspective made to one or more of the BPA programs might include things such as: familial social welfare, health, sexuality, cultural and political identity, oral traditions and digital storytelling, media and social analysis, digital culture, cultural and social policy, sovereignty, traditional knowledge and legal orders, and the administration of justice. Expertise with the Indigenous - Canadian settler context is required.

Toronto, Canada May 8-9, 2020 In a recent essay examining the imperial legacy of the camera, Teju Cole writes of the camera as a weapon: ?When we speak of ?shooting? with a camera, we are acknowledging the kinship of photography and violence.? Three decades earlier, Toni Morrison asserted in her Nobel Lecture: ?Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge.? Both propositions share the same ideas, yet they demand further examination. Cole?s comment on the relationship between photography and violence was made by a practitioner of photography. Morrison?s observation on the relationship between language and violence was brought to our attention by a novelist. In each case, the writer focusses on the material and social issues intrinsic to the use of a specific medium of expression. Refusing to look past the material and social conditions of expression, these two interventions allow us to imagine and to explore new, subversive paths of creation and criticism. It not a coincidence that Cole?s first essay on photography is entirely informed by the concept of the blind spot. And it is not a coincidence that Morrison?s speech, too, invokes a conjunction of blindness and knowledge: ?Once upon a time there was an old woman. Blind. Wise.? In each case, the creation of images and thoughts stems from a joyous failure to comply and an imaginative refusal to go along. The work of art conjured in this process is one of generative interruption. In his study of the black radical tradition in poetry and music, In the Break, furthermore, Fred Moten has written of the interruptive power of such a poetics: ?The history of blackness is testament to the fact that objects can and do resist. Blackness ? the extended movement of a specific upheaval, an ongoing irruption that anarranges every line ? is a strain that pressures the assumption of the equivalence of personhood and subjectivity.? Moten?s notion of ?anarrangment? speaks here to the simultaneously disruptive and productive potential of paying attention to the social and material conditions of aesthetic forms and the radical potentiality inside aesthetic responses to such conditions. Both film and philosophy have participated and still participate in sustaining systemic oppression. This has taken both overt and covert forms of violence and exclusion ? each perpetuating the policing of what counts as compelling questions to ask, what forms of knowledge matter, who is heard and seen, and under what conditions and where a subject can appear. And yet, if film has the ability to do philosophy, to question itself and its limitations and possibilities, and to pose new problems for philosophy, then perhaps film also has the potential to challenge its own imperial and oppressive habits and conditions as well. In a hegemonic context, the interruption of dominant ways of thinking and showing allows for alternative modes of knowledge and imagination, subjectivity and being, to emerge. Christina Sharpe, in her recent study In the Wake, makes a compelling case for what she calls the analytic of ?wake work,? a theory and a praxis that turns on the imagination?s ability to imagine otherwise with and against rupture. Alongside Cole?s and Morrison?s important points, in Moten?s and Sharpe?s work we discern a certain interruptive gesture that refuses the work of normative canons and formations of knowledge, an aesthetics and politics of interruption that can both expose the ideological underpinnings and assumptions of institutional conjunctions like film and philosophy and contribute to new possibilities and spaces for (re)arranging subjectivities, communities, and the very legacies and practices of such institutions themselves. For its 5th edition, the Spiral Film and Philosophy conference wants to bring the potential of interruption to the forefront. It proposes to do so at the confluence of three areas: the epistemological, the political, and the aesthetic. What happens to ideas and forms when the imagination stumbles? What kinds of resistance emerge when traditional representation breaks down? Which modes of belonging do we share when the spectacle is suddenly interrupted? What happens when the dynamics of domination ? in aesthetic, formal, durational, spatial, psychological, historical, etc. terms ? are rendered inoperative? In the spirit of these questions, we challenge all participants to go above and beyond the common idea according to which it is ?easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism.? We contend that cinema and moving images have value, even and especially when they do not work as intended, as programmed, or as expected; when they fail, stutter or stammer; when they confuse their objects, miss their targets, or (suddenly or gradually) fall apart. As such, this call for papers is open to but also extends beyond the experience of cinematic rupture. Spiral welcomes contributions for 20-minute presentations from scholars, artists and practitioners whose work pertains to topics and themes of interruptive and inoperative cinema, but also (and not limited to): * Postcolonial cinema * Blackness in moving images * Sabotaging the imperial gaze * Towards a destituent cinema * Camera obscura and ideology * Militant cinema and activist cinema * Evasive cinema and mass surveillance * Images moving beyond the Western canon * Decommodification and the movie industry * Visibility and invisibility: filming the blind spot * Anarchaeological practices and the audio-visual * Pictures resisting productivity in neoliberal regimes * Indigeneity and visual culture in Canada and elsewhere * The subversive value of catastrophic failures in visual media * Reclaiming speculative vision in the age of the Anthropocene * ?Anarranging? film grammars and representational economies * Failure in algorithmic cinemas and the value of digital artifacts * Breaking the status quo regarding representations of climate crisis * The virtues of failure in cinematic experimentation and in visual art * Queer and trans approaches to cinema aesthetics, history and politics * Afrofuturism and indigenous futurism and the reframing of science-fiction * Alternative imaginaries and histories of cinema as reconfigured through radical politics The confirmed Keynote Speaker is Elizabeth Reich, Assistant Professor, Film & Media Studies, in the Department of English at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research focusses on the intersections of Black Studies, digital media, Afrofuturism, and social movements in historical, global, and transnational contexts. She is author of Militant Visions: Black Soldiers, Internationalism and the Transformation of American Cinema (Rutgers, 2016) and her co-edited collection, Justice in Time: Critical Afrofuturism and the Struggle for Black Freedom, is under contract at University of Minnesota Press. She is also coeditor of ?New Approaches to Cinematic Identification,? a special issue of Film Criticism. She is also co-editing another special issue of Film Criticism entitled ?Recovery Missions: Black Film Feminisms.? Her next monograph is on time and reparation, and recent essays have appeared in ASAP Journal, Film Criticism, Screen, Post45, ASAP/J, World Records Journal, and African American Review. She is also a contributing editor to ASAP/J and serves on the editorial board of Film Criticism. The 5th Spiral conference will be held in Toronto, Canada, on Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9, 2020.

A downloadable PDF of the report can be found here (http://www.cmcrp.org/media-and-internet-concentration-in-canada-1984-2018/). This is probably our most ambitious effort yet, covering 20 sectors of the telecoms, internet & media industries in Canada over a 34 year period. This year?s report expands greatly on coverage of online video services like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Crave, SportsNet Now, illico, etc. It also adds significantly to our examination of advertising spending across all media in Canada, i.e. TV, radio, online, newspapers, magazines and out-of-doors. We have also significantly expanded our coverage to include online music and gaming services, downloads and apps, including the activities of the two most important app stores, Google Play and Apple Appstore. The image below gives a snapshot of what we cover: [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/e0116e6bb3c4d8ec52eafce65/images/32e6b611-d762-4395-b10a-d0e8ce7e71a5.png] 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%. The big three national mobile network operators market share slid from 92.5% in 2017 to 91.3% last year as a result, but that?and an HHI score of 2807?are still highly concentrated by either of the commonly used standards we rely on in this report. The same trends apply to local retail internet access and cable TV markets: both are extremely concentrated markets but have become steadily less so over the last decade as independent ISPs and the IPTV services of the telecoms operators Bell, TELUS and Sasktel make inroads in both of these markets. 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. Whether the CRTC will do that is increasingly looking doubtful. Its failure to release its annual flagship publication, The Communications Monitoring Report, at the time of this report?s release stands as another sign of the extent to which it has made the task of understanding these realities, let alone responding to them appropriately, all the harder. The report also identifies two other qualitative features of the network media economy that set Canada apart from other countries: 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, and broadcast TV and pay TV services separately owned. In most countries, for example, there are often more than one stand-alone mobile network operators (MNOs) competing in the market, whereas in Canada the last stand-alone mobile operator was acquired in 2016 by Shaw, i.e. Wind Mobile, since re-branded as Freedom Mobile. Vertical integration is where network operators own media content companies, or digital platform like Google owns and controls, for example, its search engine and Youtube, audience data and the digital advertising exchanges the underpin internet advertising. Current levels of vertical integration are exceptionally high in Canada, after having doubled between 2008 and 2013. By 2018, four vertically-integrated communications conglomerates in Canada had come to account for nearly 57% of the $87.2 billion network media economy: Bell, Rogers, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor. The high level over vertical integration means, crucially, that all of the main TV services in the country, except for the CBC and Netflix, of course, are owned by telecoms operators. In the US, by contrast, there are only three comparable vertically-integrated behemoths?AT&T, Comcast and Charter (Liberty)?and between them, they accounted for a third of the mammoth trillion dollar plus US media economy. 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 rose during most of the first half of the present decade, before being driven downwards in the last several years by the rapid advent of digital AVMS services and the main players that have ushered them in: Netflix, Amazon, Apple, and so on. There has also been a downward drift in several other sectors that stand out in ways that differ from the past, although, of course, the trends are never in one direction, and thus there have increases as well. The areas where concentration levels have fallen and risen are briefly discussed and laid out below. Concentration levels have fallen, for example, in mobile wireless services, cable TV (when measured locally, but not nationally), internet access (at both the local and national level), broadcast TV, online video and the ?total TV marketplace? (the latter, largely because of the growth of internet streaming TV services, especially Netflix), search engines, desktop operating systems and internet news sources. That said, however, the declines in cable TV, internet access, online video services, search and desktop operating systems have been from extremely high levels of concentration and they continue to be so despite the changes that have taken place. New sections in this report also show that the online games, game downloads and in-game purchases sector have grown swiftly to become a $1.33 billion industry by last year and that they continue to be characterized by a fairly diverse range of companies and business models (i.e. subscriptions to gaming platforms; subscriptions to particular games; revenues from direct-purchase game downloads and in-game purchases). While a core group of global companies looms large in each of these sub-areas of the digital games industries, such as Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Activision, Blizzard, Electronic Arts, Valve and the Chinese internet giant, Tencent, together these companies account for just under an estimated three-quarters of the online gaming industry, and thus do not dominate online gaming. While Apple?s iOS app store and Google Play had a combined estimated revenue from their app stores of $360.6 million in 2018, or roughly 27% of online gaming, gaming applications, game downloads, and in-game purchases revenue, and this is up considerably over the past five years, they do not dominate this sector either. Concentration levels have risen in specialty and pay TV services and, most notably in internet advertising, the total advertising market across all media, mobile operating systems and desktop browsers. This, and the very high levels of concentration referred to above for other elements of the internet ecology, 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, 2018 [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/e0116e6bb3c4d8ec52eafce65/images/0adbb9c6-ee3b-4d7f-bfca-dc2ccabbb54f.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 $7.6 billion internet advertising market in Canada. Together, these two companies controlled for 78.2% of online advertising spending in Canada in 2018, up very significantly over the past few years, largely because the ?digital duopoly? has taken nearly all the gains in online advertising revenue to themselves. Google and Facebook have also carved out a very large place for themselves in terms of the $14.1 billion spent on advertising across all commercial media, with the two?s share of that sum swelling to 42.2% last year, up from 38.3% a year earlier. They are now the fifth and seventh largest companies operating in the Canadian media. In fact, a half-dozen global internet giants have carved out a very sizeable spot for themselves within Canada over the last five years on account of the extremely rapid growth of online video, gaming and music subscription and download services and app stores and online advertising: i.e. Google ($4.1 billion in revenue and 4.9% market share), Facebook ($2.1 billion in revenue and 2.4% market share), Netflix ($1000.8 million in revenue and 1.2% market share), Apple ($422.3 million in revenue and .5% market share), Amazon ($181 million in revenue and .2% market share) and Twitter ($117.5 million in revenue and .1% market share). Combined, these firms? total revenue from their operations in Canada last year netted $7.9 billion, for a 9.3% share of the all revenue across the network media economy. While these entities obviously now cut a very sizeable figure on the landscape, to help keep things in perspective it is important to keep front-and-centre in mind that whereas the big six US-based internet giants account for just under a tenth of all revenues across the network media economy based on their revenues in Canada, the top five Canadian companies accounted for 73.4% of the $86.2 billion network media economy last year, up from 71.4% the year before. They are: Bell, Telus, Rogers, Shaw and Quebecor. Indeed, Bell is the biggest player in Canada by far, with total revenues in Canada nearly three times the combined revenue of the ?big six? US-based internet giants. In terms of dealing with these realities, the report offers a half-dozen recommendations. The same principle of ?vertical separation? that underpins common carriage, and which should be strengthened in the telecoms domain, could also be extended to Google, for instance, so as to effectuate a structural divestiture between its search engine and Youtube and control of audience data, on one side, for example, and its proprietary digital advertising exchange on which the buying and selling of online advertising takes place, on the other. This is what breaking-up ?big tech? might look in terms of details. A handful of other principles are reviewed: diagonal structural separation along the lines being pursued by the German Federal Cartel Office that would prevent Facebook from sharing people?s data across Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook; network interconnection and inter-operability and data portability to counter the ?platformization? of the internet; strong data and privacy protection rules based on the European Union?s General Data Protection Rules as a floor; the selective application of the EU?s Audiovisual Media Services Directive (2016) to online video-on-demand services; and the principle that ?functionally equivalent rules? for functionally similar activities, i.e. election advertising, should be applied in a ?platform neutral? manner. Additional headlines of this report include: * the top five Canadian companies?Bell, Telus, Rogers, Shaw and Quebecor?accounted for 73.4% of the $86.2 billion network media economy last year, up from 71.4% the year before; * A half-dozen global internet giants have carved out a very sizeable spot for themselves within Canada over the last five years on account of the extremely rapid growth of online video, gaming and music subscription and download services and app stores as well as online advertising: i.e. Google ($4.1 billion in revenue and 4.9% market share), Facebook ($2.1 billion in revenue and 2.4% market share), Netflix ($1000.8 million in revenue and 1.2% market share), Apple ($422.3 million in revenue and .5% market share), Amazon ($181 million in revenue and .2% market share) and Twitter ($117.5 million in revenue and .1% market share). Combined, these firms? total revenue from their operations in Canada last year netted $7.9 billion, for a 9.3% share of the all revenue across the network media economy. * Google and Facebook are now the fifth and seventh largest entities operating in media economy in Canada. * That said, Bell is the biggest player in Canada by far, with total revenues in Canada nearly three times the combined revenue of the ?big six? US-based internet giants. Bell single-handedly accounted for nearly 28% of all revenue last year?up slightly from a year earlier; * mobile wireless is very highly concentrated with Rogers, Telus and Bell accounting for 91.3% of the sector?s revenue in 2018?down a percentage point from the year before; * new entrants Shaw (Freedom), Videotron and Eastlink?s share of the market rose to 6.4% in 2018?up significantly from 4.7% the year before; * the least concentrated mobile wireless market in Canada is in Quebec, where Videotron had 13% market share by revenue and 15.5% based on subscribers at the end of 2018?a small increase over the year; * incumbent telephone and cable companies accounted for 87.5% of the residential retail internet access market in 2018 (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 75.7% last year, down from 85.6% at its high point seven years ago; those losses, however, have been largely recouped 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 (46%) 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 2018; * 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, Amazon Video, Apple and a few other online video services has helped turn the tide. The ?big 5? TV operators? took 78.8% of all TV revenue (including internet streaming) last year?down from 82% in 2012 and with a big change insofar that Netflix has replaced Quebecor as the 5th largest TV operator in the country for the last three years and now has similar revenue to the fourth largest television service operator in Canada, Rogers * Netflix?s had estimated revenue of $1000.8 million in Canada and a 11.4% stake of all television services revenues in Canada last year?up sharply from $820.6 million in revenue and a 9.7% market share the year before. On a stand-alone basis, the online video market is highly concentrated, but the trend is downward over time; * 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 2018 of 3.5% was less than half of Astral Media?s share alone on the eve of its take-over by Bell in 2013 (7.4%); * Canadians get their news from a wide plurality of internet news sources, both old (CBC, Postmedia, CTV, Toronto Star,) and new (Huffington Post), as well as domestic and foreign (CNN, CBS, BBC, NBC, 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 2018, Bell, Rogers, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor accounted for 56.5% of the $86.2 billion industry?in the US, in contrast, after the AT&T take-over of Time Warner last year, four vertically-integrated companies? accounted for a third of that country?s $1,087.6 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, 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 other countries around the world where it operates. 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 and promote the use of zero-rating schemes that challenge the precepts of net neutrality (i.e. common carriage). The use of data caps and zero-rating not only dampens internet use but turns carriers into editors, or gatekeepers, thereby 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?; * for a half-decade between 2012 and 2017, 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. This recent period of commitment to such principles, however, appears to have weakened. The current chair of the CRTC has acknowledged that vertical integration is high in Canada but appears to think that this state of affairs is common (see here). It is not.

Keynote address by Dr. Brenda Longfellow, York University Call for Papers: Activity Cinema is an active agent: the mutual and reciprocal relationship between moving images and their spectators, the very act of making cinema, is a direct action. Packaged within this making is the action on the screen, the action of the technology capturing and then displaying the cinematic object, and the actions of the spectator. These activities extend well beyond screenings, into production, archiving, theorizing, and distributing; cinema is a collaborative, communal, multi-technological process of creation that spreads itself across vast networks of spectatorship, reception, distribution, imaginaries, and/or activisms. Such cases are woven into the medium?s history: from early Soviet montage articulating class struggle, to the Brechtian cinemas of the late French New Wave, to second wave feminist consciousness raising, and to contemporary practises in interactive documentary and new media, cinema has routinely been considered and used in service of a political modality. In 2020, cinema?s activities are global, streaming over the internet, and able to represent and shape the great forces of our current moment, including, but not limited to, climate catastrophe, mass migration, global civil war, economies of precarious labour, and the ongoing project of settler colonialism. These forces manifest simultaneously as hyper-local, ingrained in the communities their making emerges from, sites where both positive and negative consequences are most intimately felt. The 22nd Annual FSAC Graduate Colloquium at York University coincides with the Cinema and Media Arts Department?s 50th anniversary. This department was built on a foundation of political praxis, in response to and continuation of this history of a cinema which is inherently political and active. It was in this spirit that in 1985 a collective of York University film professors?including Robin Wood, Andrew Britton, Scott Forsyth, among other notable scholars, critics, and filmmakers?founded CineAction, a self-described ?magazine of radical film criticism and theory?. In her editorial contribution to CineAction?s final issue in 2016, co-founder Florence Jacobowitz conceives of the magazine?s approach to film criticism as a kind of political activity, recalling its founding ?out of necessity, as a magazine that would publish politicized readings and where theory could be tested against critical practice (instead of simply imposed)?. Consequently, this year we ask for an engagement with the idea of activity and activism in film theory, history, and practise. How is cinema used as a tool of direct action? How does form foster political engagement? Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Medium specificity and activism * Cinema and direct action * New media(s) * Documentary * Worldbuilding and futurisms?imaginations of the world as otherwise * Queer and trans cinemas * Research creation * Public and participatory art practices?artists intervening in the public sphere * Counterpublic spheres * Community media histories * Activist film festivals * Archival interventions * Media and pedagogy * The Anthropocene Interested students should submit an abstract of no more than 300-500 words through the following form by Friday, January 3rd: https://forms.gle/P8ZKqFtw58Kz1yZV8 *** 22e Colloque annuel de l?AC?C pour les ?tudiant-e-s des cycles sup?rieurs Universit? York, Vendredi, 28 f?vrier ? Dimanche, 1er mars 2020 Appel ? conf?rence : ? Activit? ? Conf?rence liminaire : Prof. Brenda Longfellow, Universit? York Appel ? communication : Activit? Le cin?ma est un agent actif : la relation mutuelle et r?ciproque entre les images en mouvement et leurs spectateurs, l?acte de faire du cin?ma, est une action directe. Dans toute cette cr?ation se retrouve l?activit? que l?on retrouve ? l??cran, l?activit? derri?re la technologie de captation, ainsi que la monstration de l?objet cin?matographique, en plus des activit?s spectatorielles. Ces activit?s se prolongent bien au-del? de l??cran, dans la production, l?archivage, la th?orisation et la distribution ; le cin?ma est collaboratif, communal, un proc?d? de cr?ation pluritechnologique qui s??tend jusqu?aux vastes r?seaux spectatoriels, de r?ception, de distribution, de l?imagination, et/ou d?activisme. De tels exemples se tissent dans l?histoire de ce m?dium : des d?buts du montage de l?avant-garde sovi?tique qui traitaient de la lutte des classes, des th?ories brechtiennes associ?es ? la nouvelle vague fran?aise, de la deuxi?me vague f?ministe et de la sensibilisation, jusqu?aux pratiques contemporaines dans le documentaire interactif et des nouveaux m?dias, le cin?ma a toujours ?t? syst?matiquement consid?r? et utilis? au service d?une modalit? politique. En 2020, les activit?s cin?matographiques sont mondiales, diffus?es en continu sur Internet, tout en ayant la possibilit? de repr?senter et de fa?onner les grandes forces du moment y compris, mais sans s?y limiter, la catastrophe environnementale, l?immigration massive, la guerre civile mondiale, l??conomie des emplois pr?caires, ainsi que les colonies de peuplement actuelles. Ces influences se manifestent simultan?ment d?un point de vue hyperlocal, enracin?es dans les communaut?s desquelles elles ?mergent, dont les cons?quences, qu?elles soient positives ou n?gatives, sont intimement li?es. Le 22e Colloque annuel de l?AC?C pour les ?tudiants des cycles sup?rieurs ? l?Universit? York co?ncide avec le 50e anniversaire de son d?partement de cin?ma et d?arts m?diatiques. Ce d?partement a ?t? cr?? sur des bases de la praxis politique, en r?ponse et en prolongement de cette histoire d?un cin?ma fondamentalement politique et actif. C??tait dans cet esprit qu?en 1985, un collectif de professeurs en cin?ma de l?Universit? York incluant Robin Wood, Andrew Britton, Scott Forsyth, avec d?autres sp?cialistes, critiques et cin?astes, a fond? CineAction, un magazine d?crit comme traitant de la critique et de la th?orie cin?matographique radical. Dans sa contribution ?ditoriale pour l?ultime num?ro de CineAction en 2016, la cofondatrice Florence Jacobowitz mentionne que l?approche envers la critique cin?matographique a ?t? con?ue comme une sorte d?activit? politique, se rem?morant ces fondements comme une n?cessit? en tant que magazine qui publierait des textes politis?s o? la th?orie pourrait ?tre mise ? l??preuve contre la pratique analytique (au lieu de simplement l?imposer). Nous demandons donc, par cons?quent, cette ann?e de faire appel ? un engagement avec cette id?e de l?activit? et de l?activisme associ?e avec la th?orie du cin?ma, l?histoire et la pratique. Comment le cin?ma est-il utilis? en tant qu?outil d?une action directe ? Comment entretenir la promotion d?un engagement politique ? Les propositions d?article peuvent aborder les sujets suivants, sans s?y limiter : * Sp?cificit? et militantisme du m?dium * Cin?ma et action directe * Nouveau(x) m?dia(s) * Documentaire * Construction d?univers et futurisme ? imagination d?autres mondes * Cin?ma gai et transgenre * Recherche-cr?ation * Pratiques artistiques publiques ou participatives ? artistes intervenant dans la sph?re publique * Sph?res contre-publiques * Histoire des m?dias communautaires * Festivals de films activistes * Interventions archivistiques * M?dia et p?dagogie * L?Anthropoc?ne Les ?tudiant-e-s int?ress?-e-s sont pri?-e-s de faire parvenir une proposition comprenant entre 300 et 500 mots en suivant les instructions suivantes d?ici le vendredi 3 janvier 2020 : https://forms.gle/P8ZKqFtw58Kz1yZV8 Michael Zryd ?

Critical scholars in the fields of organizational discourse and communication studies have at length examined how organizations shape our identities and experiences in the workplace and beyond. These works have highlighted the pervasiveness of corporate and managerial discourses (for instance, promoting ideas of efficiency, performance and individualism) and their impact on our definition of self, work and democracy (e.g. Deetz, 1992). Studies have also pointed at the development of (new) technologies of control based in neoliberal-managerial values such as freedom, individualism and entrepreneurship (Fleming, 2019), and the efforts of individual and collective identity construction through the embodiment (and sometimes resistance) of work-related discourses of subjectivation (e.g. Ashcraft, 2013; K?rreman, 201). Scholars have additionally explored the relation between power and authority, and the ways they are accomplished through meaning negotiation (Porter et al., 2017). In these studies, the focus is less on organizations per se and more on the discursive organizing of people, things, goods, values, identities and societies. Along the lines of Foucault's (1972) notion of discourse - defined as a contingent social system that produces and legitimates (certain) knowledge and meaning - this shift of focus echoes what Carlone and Taylor (1998) called the "organizing of culture", and more recently, what Mumby (2013b) coined as the "communicative politics of organizing" (see also K?rreman, 2010). Both expressions put on the front stage a communication-centered explanation of how power is organized in society. Such a communicative perspective allows us to explore, for example, the organizing of the meaning and value systems through which we make sense of our world (e.g. Dempsey & Sanders, 2010; K?rreman & Alvesson, 2010), the "work of communication" in organizing work practices and economies under contemporary capitalism (Kuhn et al., 2017), the communicative organizing of the production-consumption relations that characterize our contemporary societies and notions of self (Mumby, 2013b) or the alternative organizing of resistance in social political movements (Parker et al., 2014). This sub-theme, sponsored by the Standing Working Group (SWG) 05 on "Organization as Communication", wishes to pursue this discussion around the critical, transformative and emancipatory role of communication. While constitutive explanations of power and discourse are not new (e.g. Deetz & Mumby, 1990; Hardy & Phillips, 2004), we believe explicit discussion of the political implications of a discursive/communicative understanding of the organization-society relationship, as well as of the very constitution of organizations, is more than ever needed. We live an era of constant crisis (economic, environmental, political, ideological) that comes with great challenges for our societies and that, we believe, are better understood - and possibly addressed from a genuinely communicative standpoint. The argument that communication does not only serve representational purposes but that, instead, it is constitutive of reality is today well documented (e.g. Cooren et al., 2011). Moreover, there is an increasing consensus that a shift has occurred in our collective system of value, mostly attributable to the neoliberal economic model that pervades our relations to others (Dean, 2005; Mumby, 2016). This places questions of communication, power and politics at the center, as they are intimately tied to struggles over meaning. Communication creates the very possibility for power to be exercised: studying how this works enables us to foresee alternative and more responsible forms of organizing our societies. We invite papers that address the particular focus of the sub-theme or that are concerned with the constitutive and formative relations between communication and organizing more generally. Below is a list of indicative, but not exhaustive, topics and questions related to the sub-theme: * How can critical approaches, theories and concepts contribute to unpacking the constitutive and transformative role of communication? * How can power and authority be studied from a communicative standpoint? * What is the political function of communication for organization and more broadly in organizing our world? * How can communication transform organization and society? * How does the idea that communication is constitutive of organizations change the way we may address issues of power and authority in organizations? * To what extent is power integral to the organization-communication relationship?

[cid:image001.png at 01D5B990.4B5A5CA0] [cid:image002.jpg at 01D5B990.4B5A5CA0] Call for Applications: Graduate Degrees in Film/Cinema & Media Studies at York University * MA in Cinema & Media Studies * MFA in Film Production or Screenwriting * Joint MA-MBA or MFA-MBA with Schulich School of Business * PhD in Cinema and Media Studies Applications are invited to the Graduate Program in Film/Cinema & Media Studies at York University. Applicants who apply by January 15, 2020 will be given first consideration. Applicants will be contacted by late February - early March 2020. Late applications may be considered. Apply here for MFA and here for MA/PhD Since our inception in 1980 as Canada?s first Graduate Program in Film, our community of award-winning faculty, supportive staff, outstanding students, and successful alums has stimulated comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and rigorous engagement with the moving image in all its forms, both historical and contemporary. Building on York?s longstanding commitment to deliver innovative and accessible post-graduate training and rooted in the centre of English Canadian film and media culture and production, the Graduate Program in Film/Cinema & Media Studies offers a curriculum that encourages dynamic and collaborative interactions between creative artists and scholarly researchers. In our two-year MA and MFA programs, flexible, interdisciplinary, student-centred curriculum allows students the freedom to fulfill their unique academic, creative and professional aspirations with ample time to benefit from York University?s rich tradition of being at the vanguard of interdisciplinary research, media creation, knowledge mobilization, and dedication to social justice, diversity, equity, and sustainability. Canada?s most respected graduate MFA in Film Production and Screenwriting leads students to confront the challenges posed by the fast-changing worlds of digital cinema and transmedia platforms. The MA in Cinema & Media Studies emphasizes the critical study of a broad range of film and media in a small cohort of highly motivated students. Each student creates an individually tailored program from our dynamic range of courses, and from our diverse workshops, partnerships, internships, and research labs. Together students engage evolving theories and practices of global and local cinema and media, including new directions in post-colonial, feminist, queer, Indigenous, and underground expression, and media forms like film, television, games, and expanded cinema like augmented and virtual reality. Expertly guided by chosen faculty, the MFA program culminates in the creation of an original Thesis project, while the MA program has a Major Research Paper as its capstone. Domestic Master's students receive base funding of $10,000/year + York's $1000 FGS Healthcare Bursary. With York University?s emphasis on access in higher education, our graduate students pay the lowest graduate tuition in Ontario. Admission scholarships and awards are also available. In recent years, over 70% of MA & MFA students have received additional funding through awards like CGS-M ($17,500/year) and OGS ($15,000/year), usually in their second year, in part due to the Program's emphasis on strong professional development, including grant writing. MFA students are provided with in-kind equipment/services grants from a wide range of Toronto co-ops, equipment houses and post-production facilities, and production grants from donors. Teaching, publication, and professional academic development are key components of the PhD, a minimum four-year degree with guaranteed funding for five years. In addition to generous York professional development funds, our students receive national, provincial and university-wide scholarships and awards. Current PhD students include 2 Vanier scholars, 3 Elia scholars, 2 Trillium scholars, and numerous SSHRC and OGS doctoral awards. Outstanding faculty are leaders in their fields; three faculty members are current or former Canada Research Chairs and all of our faculty participate actively in international and Canadian festivals, conferences, and publish widely. Many of our faculty pursue interdisciplinary research methodologies, including research creation, an increasingly popular option in the PhD program. 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, Hot Docs, Reel Asian, and Images Festival, and resources like the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers (LIFT), the Ontario Archives (now housed on York University campus), TIFF?s Film Reference Library, and other unique research collections. In the MA & PhD programs, 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, History, Comparative Literature, Philosophy, Education, Urban Studies, and other disciplines that nurture research in sound and moving image media. The MFA film production and screenwriting program is catered mainly towards mid-career filmmakers with a track record in producing media. For students preparing for a future in the media industries, we also offer a 3-year joint MA/MBA or MFA/MBA degree with the world-renowned Schulich School of Business. Most students undertaking the joint degrees take their first year in the Graduate Program in Film/Cinema & Media Studies, and start the MBA portion in their second year. 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 degree programs provide specialized training for careers in academic, research, and government organizations and arts and entertainment industries (television, film, new media, including festivals), and in jobs in producing, programming and curation, teaching, critical writing and publishing, publicity, among others. Students interested in the MFA program are encouraged to contact Prof. Manfred Becker, MFA Graduate Program Director, bmanfred at yorku.ca. Students interested in the MA and PhD programs are encouraged to contact Prof. Michael Zryd, MA & PhD Graduate Program Director, zryd at yorku.ca.

Sherbrooke, 4-8 mai 2020 ?v?nement Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/events/977862332593293/ Ce colloque s?appuie sur un double constat. D?une part, nous nous confrontons aujourd?hui ? des enjeux de soci?t? d?une telle ampleur qu?ils testent les limites de nos langages et, cons?quemment, de nos savoirs. ? titre d?exemple, l?impact humain sur l?environnement est tel qu?un nouveau terme a ?t? trouv? pour d?signer l??re g?ologique ainsi affect?e : l?anthropoc?ne. D?autre part, nombre de ces enjeux soul?vent pr?sentement la question pressante de leurs effets ? venir. Ils t?lescopent ainsi le futur dans l?actualit? de nos recherches et forcent par la m?me occasion nos savoirs vers l?anticipation et la sp?culation. Nos modes de vie actuels, avec la crise climatique qu?ils engendrent, exigent par exemple de consid?rer aujourd?hui les conditions de vie des prochaines Into Eternity, 2010). Comment ?laborer? Quel mode de communication peut enjamber les g?n?rations pour rejoindre des mondes qui n?existent pas encore? Pour explorer cette probl?matique, nous proposons de soumettre les sciences du langage que sont la traduction et la communication ? un exercice de sp?culation scientifique. Le th?me g?n?ral de ? science/fiction ? viendra d?signer le champ de cet exercice. Loin de s?opposer au r?el, l?exercice n?cessaire de la ? fiction ? acquiert dans ce cadre une urgence actuelle : l?anticipation devient elle-m?me une m?thode de recherche rigoureuse et n?cessaire. Appel ? Le colloque r?unira des chercheurs et des chercheuses qui d?veloppent et travaillent des imaginaires de la communication et de la traduction, ? la fois dans leurs m?thodologies que dans leurs objets d??tude. Ces ? imaginaires ? ne se veulent pas des pens?es en retrait du r?el, mais au contraire une appr?hension des conditions d??mergence d?autres r?els possibles. Comme de surcro?t la crise qui nous occupe d?borde le pr?sent jusqu?? mettre en p?ril la possibilit? m?me d?un futur partag?, notre travail doit lui aussi s?orienter vers le futur : l?impensable de notre condition actuelle ? ses crises climatiques et politiques ? se confronte ? l?exploration de figures limitrophes, au seuil du pr?sent et de l?avenir, ? cheval entre la fiction et le r?el. Des sites d?enfouissement nucl?aire en pr?paration au concept incommensurable de demi-vie nucl?aire en passant par le disque d?or grav? install? sur la sonde Voyager, jusqu?aux cas fictifs de crise climatique (du Stalker de Tarkovsky au White Noise de Don DeLillo), nous invitons les chercheurs et chercheuses ? explorer les confins futuristes des possibilit?s communicatives. Sp?cifiquement, le colloque invite donc les participant?es ? explorer deux pistes de r?flexion compl?mentaire : 1) penser les mani?res qu?ont les sciences de la traduction et de la communication d?explorer les fictions possibles du langage; 2) analyser en quoi la sp?culation et l?anticipation permettent une conceptualisation des sciences du langage. Crit?res de s?lection ? Les crit?res d'?valuation des communications seront la pertinence du propos en rapport au colloque (40%), l'avancement aux sciences du langage propos? (30%) ainsi que l'originalit? de la contribution (30%). Format ? Le colloque se d?roulera sur une journ?e et demi. Chaque pr?sentation durera 30 minutes, suivie d?une p?riode de questions de 15 minutes. Les participant?es int?ress??es doivent soumettre un titre de proposition (180 caract?res maximum, espaces comprises) ainsi qu'un r?sum? de proposition (1500 caract?res, espaces comprises) au plus tard le 21 f?vrier 2020.

I?m delighted to share the 2nd call for papers for the upcoming international conference on Social Media and Society to be held in Chicago on July 22-24. See details below. Please note that full papers and WIP extended abstracts are due January 27, midnight (Hawaiian time). Please consider submitting your social media-related work and hope to see you at the conference. Best regards, Anatoliy ---------------------------------------- CFP: International Conference on Social Media and Society (#SMSociety) 2020 Theme ? ?Diverse Voices: Promises and Perils of Social Media For Diversity? Join us on July 22?24, 2020 for the 11th annual International Conference on Social Media and Society (#SMSociety) . The conference is an interdisciplinary gathering of leading social media researchers, practitioners, and analysts from around the world. The 2020 conference is hosted by the College of Communication , Studio Chi and the College of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University in Chicago, USA. Until a decade and a half ago, large media companies and governments lorded over an oligopoly controlling the means for communicating with the masses. That oligopoly was (temporarily?) broken by the introduction of social media with its revolutionary promise to democratize civil discourse and civil society. It has offered diverse groups the opportunity to connect to one another and form communities of practice that ultimately can serve to strengthen their voice. However, in recent years, we have also discovered that connecting the world via social media leads to new challenges. When so many diverse voices are brought together on a massive scale, conflict is common. Interpretation of this conflict is itself diverse: do we see a rise of incivility or freedom from moral policing? Extremism or idealism? Distrust or critique? The very same digital tools that amplify voices of the marginalized can also be used to silence diverse voices online through online harassment, doxing, trolling, and other measures. In this context, the *International Conference on Social Media & Society* invites scholarly and original submissions that explore key questions and central issues related (but not limited) to the 2020 theme of ?*Diverse Voices: Promises and Perils of Social Media For Diversity**.*? We welcome research from a wide range of methodological perspectives employing established quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods as well as innovative approaches that cross disciplinary boundaries and expand our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially research that seeks to explore questions such as: ? Can human society handle the connection of diverse and divergent (often conflicting) voices on social media? Is empowering every voice via social media a net good? ? Under what conditions can social media build bridges across difference? When does social media reinforce division? ? What social media affordances are good or bad in terms of supporting diversity, including but not limited to: race, class, gender, sexual, cultural, political and linguistic diversity? ? What is the role of government regulation? Should social media be limited to activities that help to build strong societies? ? Is it naive to think that giving everyone a voice will result in increased democracy? ? And what is the role of social media in all of these? And how can social media platforms be used to empower marginalized voices? ? Can AI and other automated tools help social media consumers and producers to overcome these challenges and provide online spaces for engagement with diverse voices? If so, how? *IMPORTANT DATES* ? *Full papers** (6-10 pages) Due: *Jan. 27, 2020* ? *WIP papers* (1000-word extended abstract) Due: *Jan. 27, 2020* ? *Panels, Workshops, & Posters* Due: *Mar. 16, 2020* *Full papers presented at the Conference will be published in the conference proceedings by *ACM International Conference Proceeding Series* (ICPS) and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. *SUBMISSION DETAILS*: https://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/ *ABOUT THE CONFERENCE* The International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMsociety) is an annual gathering of leading social media researchers from around the world.

Historians, archaeologists, geographers, urbanists, economists and scholars of culture and literature have analyzed the night time of communities large and small, across a wide range of historical periods. The study of the night has expanded in tandem with new attention to the night on the part of city administrations, organizers of cultural events (like nuits blanches and museum nights) and activists fighting gentrification, systems of control and practices of harassment and exclusion which limit the ?right to the night? of various populations. In this context of this new attention to the night, we invite proposals for an international conference, in English and French, on relationships between media and the night. We are open to papers focussing on old and new media, from any disciplinary perspective, and dealing with any historical period or geographical area. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: - The place of media consumption and circulation within the 24-hour cycle; - Formal and stylistic features of media treatments of the night; - Media constructions of the transgressive, marginal or identitarian night; - Specialized media directed at (or produced by) communities of the night; - The role of media forms (or platforms) in tracing itineraries of night-time activity; - Media tools to enhance the safety and accessibility of the night; - ?Intermedial? dimensions of media?s relationship to the night (e.g., electric lighting and photography; late-night television and classic cinema, etc.); - The challenge of imagining ?night? genres for 24-hour streaming services; - Archiving the night; - Pre-digital or digital practices of mapping the night; - Night, social media and data visualization; - Games, apps and night modes; - Night media and energy infrastructures. Proposals (with title) should be approximately 350 words, in French or English, and submitted by email to jhessica.reia at mcgill.ca by January 10, 2020. Please note that, while the organizers are unable to cover the travel and accommodation costs of participants, we will and will not charge a registration fee. https://theurbannight.com/ *** Colloque international ? Les m?dias et la nuit ? 29 et 30 avril 2020 Universit? McGill, Montr?al Sous la direction de : Jhessica Reia, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Histoire de l'art et communication, Universit? McGill Will Straw, James McGill Professor of Urban Media Studies, Histoire de l'art et communication, Universit? McGill Au cours de la derni?re d?cennie, la nuit est devenue un objet d??tudes ? part enti?re autour duquel s?est constitu? un domaine international et interdisciplinaire de recherche universitaire. Des historien.nes, des arch?ologues, des g?ographes, des urbanistes, des ?conomistes et des sp?cialistes de la culture et de la litt?rature ont analys? les activit?s et les imaginaires nocturnes de grandes et de petites communaut?s, ? travers un large ?ventail de p?riodes historiques. Parall?lement au d?veloppement de ces ?tudes, la nuit fit l?objet d?une nouvelle attention de la part des administrations municipales, des organisateurs d??v?nements culturels (auxquels on doit par exemple les nuits blanches et les soir?es des mus?es), ainsi que de la part d?activistes luttant contre la gentrification et les dispositifs de contr?le des activit?s nocturnes, ou encore d?non?ant les pratiques de harc?lement et d?exclusion qui limitent le ? droit ? la nuit ? de divers groupes minoritaires. C?est dans le contexte de cette nouvelle attention port?e ? la nuit que nous lan?ons un appel ? communications pour un colloque international en fran?ais et anglais sur les relations entre les m?dias et la nuit. Nous sommes ouverts aux propositions portant sur les anciens comme sur les nouveaux m?dias, ? toutes les perspectives disciplinaires, ainsi qu?? toutes les p?riodes historiques ou zones g?ographiques. Voici la liste indicative non restrictive des th?mes sugg?r?s : - La consommation et la diffusion des m?dias dans le cycle de 24 heures ; - Les caract?ristiques formelles et stylistiques des diff?rents traitements m?diatiques de la nuit ; - Les constructions m?diatiques des transgressions, des marginalit?s ou des identit?s nocturnes ; - Les m?dias sp?cialis?s destin?s aux communaut?s de la nuit, ou produits par elles ; - Le r?le des types de m?dias (ou des plateformes) dans la tra?abilit? des itin?raires de l?activit? nocturne ; - Les outils m?diatiques ?uvrant ? l?am?lioration de la s?curit? et de l'accessibilit? de la nuit ; - Les aspects interm?diaux de la relation m?dia/nuit (par exemple, le lien entre l??clairage ?lectrique et la photographie, les programmes t?l?visuels de fin de soir?e et le cin?ma classique, etc.) ; - Les d?fis de la programmation ? nocturne ? pour les services de streaming 24 h/24 ; - Archiver la nuit ; - Les pratiques pr?-num?riques ou num?riques de cartographie de la nuit ; - La nuit, les m?dias sociaux et la visualisation des donn?es ; - Les jeux vid?o, les applications et les modes nuits ("night modes") ; - Les m?dias nocturnes et les infrastructures ?nerg?tiques.
