Transformation des espaces, des processus et des relations Responsables Benoit Cordelier ? UQAM (Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al) Olivier Galibert ? Universit? de Bourgogne https://www.acfas.ca/evenements/congres/programme-preliminaire/400/442 Mercredi 6 mai 2020, Jeudi 7 mai 2020 L?acc?s de plus en plus facile a? de l?information de plus en plus sp?cialis?e, le d?veloppement de technologies aux capacit?s d?int?gration et de mise en r?seau, les attentes croissantes en termes de rapidit?? et d?individualisation des soins sont autant d??l?ments qui soutiennent la transition num?rique du secteur de la sante?. Dans un travail de rationalisation classique des processus de sante?, il s?agit d?int?grer individus et objets techniques dans des ?cosyst?mes de plus en plus vastes et perm?ables. Se posent alors les questions d?optimisation des parcours et proc?dures aid?e par la distribution et le partage des donn?es. Sur un plan technique, nous pouvons nous interroger sur le d?veloppement d?applications et logiciels avec de grandes capacit?s de connexion et mise en r?seau. Sur un plan organisationnel, se pose la question de la transformation des m?tiers et la r?ing?nierie des processus. Sur un plan relationnel, il faut reconna?tre ?galement la transformation des relations dans les trajectoires de sante?. Ces trois aspects convergent dans une red?finition des r?les (personnel soignant, patients-experts, tiers aidant, ...) et attentes des patients et de leurs proches ainsi que des espaces ou? s?articulent ces relations (extension et porosit?? des organisations de sante? par le d?veloppement du Dossier Patient Num?rique et de l?e-sant?, sous l?influence de la t?l?m?decine, du web social, de l?internet des objets, ...). Ce colloque se veut l?occasion de poursuivre des r?flexions, dans une perspective communicationnelle, sur les transformations dans les trajectoires de maladie en termes d?espaces (organisations, communaut?s en ligne), de processus (changement organisationnel, trajectoires de maladie et de soin), comme relationnelles (relation soignant-soigne?, place des tiers-aidants, reconfigurations de l?expertise, ...) en lien avec la num?risation de la soci?t?

Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2020 19:38:30 +0000 Subject: [acc-cca-l] Upcoming DM@X Conference Message-ID: Dear all- This is to let you know about the sixth annual Digital Media at the Crossroads (DM at X) conference which is coming up on February 7-8, 2020. The conference will take place at the University of Toronto and is sponsored by 38 educational and cultural organizations, including the Canadian Communications Association. The regular registration fee for the conference is $399 which covers the program materials and a buffet lunch. However, all CCA members qualify for the faculty rate of $99. As you will see from the website, the program for the conference has been organized to be informative, wide-ranging and provocative. We expect the report of the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel will be issued at the end of January 2020 and Janet Yale, the Chair of the Panel will be a keynote speaker at the DM at X Conference.. A copy of the DM@!X program is attached. There is an impressive list of speakers, all of whom are directly involved in the digital media business, whether as producers, regulators, entrepreneurs or academics. This will be the first conference to look at the report of the Legislative Review Panel, so it will be well worth attending.. I highly recommend this conference to CCA members. If you are interested, you can become registered on the website, which is here. Happy new year!

Avec la cr?ation puis le d?veloppement d?un vaste ensemble de technologies m?diatiques, la communication a pris une place croissante et recouvert des r?alit?s de plus en plus diverses dans nos soci?t?s. Parall?lement, elle semble ?tre devenue de plus en plus paradoxale. Ainsi l?internet constitue-t-il tant un lieu o? peuvent s??panouir les paroles minoritaires et contestaires qu?un espace o? d?ferlent les propos extr?mistes et enflamm?s. Le r?seau favorise la mise en visibilit? de la diversit? tout en accordant la priorit? ? une culture blanche, h?t?ronormative et privil?gi?e, ? la mani?re de celle que promeut la culture algorithmique. Il offre soi-disant des opportunit?s d?ascension aux personnes les plus d?favoris?es tout en reproduisant les in?galit?s. Il est dans le m?me temps outil d?mocratique et de propagande ; outil qui encourage les libert?s tout en contr?lant les individus par le biais de quelques g?ants industriels et ?tats dominants. Finalement, les dispositifs communicationnels constituent tant?t des techniques de lib?ration, tant?t de subordination ; tant?t des outils qui d?placent les rapports de pouvoir, tant?t des outils qui les produisent et les reproduisent. En r?alit?, la communication, particuli?rement dans le registre du num?rique, contribue ? d?placer les normes dans tous les domaines. Elle favorise une certaine perm?abilit? des classes sociales ; elle bouscule les modes de production des savoirs ?tablis ; elle permet ? l?identit? de devenir un projet de r?alisation individuelle ; elle participe ? la transformation des codes de la sexualit? ; elle recompose les normes de genre et trouble les fronti?res entre les monde des vivants et des morts... Elle contribue ? fabriquer une soci?t? plus flexible en mati?re de production et de consommation d??uvres culturelles, d?entretien des relations sociales, de gestion de la vie professionnelle ou familiale, etc. Pourtant, dans le m?me temps, la multiplication des dispositifs sociotechniques et de leurs usages engendre des ph?nom?nes d?acc?l?ration sociale g?n?ralis?e, de promotion du culte de l?urgence ou de tyrannie en termes de performance et de visibilit?. Il en ressort un certain nombre de pathologies sur le plan des relations humaines, de la vie professionnelle, du bien-?tre, de la sant?, de la protection de la vie priv?e, de la vitalit? du d?bat public ou encore de la construction individuelle ou de la fabrique identitaire... Dans ce contexte, la communication ne joue-t-elle pas contre la morale ? Les espoirs tant attendus d?une communication salvatrice ne seraient-ils pas en voie d?effondrement ? L??volution des normes sociales permise par la communication ne se r?aliserait-elle pas pour le pire plut?t que le meilleur ? Ou comment pouvons-nous penser le r?le de la communication et de ses techniques ? des fins d??dification d??ventuelles nouvelles normativit?s ? L?instauration d?une pluralit? de normes est-elle possible sans c?der ? un relativisme cynique ? Ces questions apparaissent d?autant plus pertinentes que c?est l?avenir m?me de notre esp?ce et de notre vie sur Terre qui constitue dor?navant (ou devrait constituer) l?enjeu majeur qu?il nous faut aborder. C'est cet ensemble de questions que souhaite aborder le CR33 dans le cadre de ce congr?s de l?AISLF d?di? ? la ? soci?t? morale et ? ses enjeux normatifs dans les soci?t?s contemporaines ?. ?tudes de terrain ou r?flexions th?oriques apportant un ?clairage sur ces questionnements seront les bienvenues. *** H?l?ne Bourdeloie Universit?

Mondoux, Marc M?nard et Maxime Ouellet, Professeurs ? l??cole des m?dias (UQAM) ? membres du CRICIS Dans la foul?e des travaux critiques sur le Big Data, l??conomie des traces et la gouvernementalit? algorithmique, ce num?ro th?matique de tic&soci?t? portera sur l?analyse du ph?nom?ne des donn?es massives sous l?angle d?un dispositif algorithmique de cueillette et d?accumulation des donn?es qui permet leur traitement par des m?canismes d?intelligence artificielle tels que l?apprentissage-machine, l?apprentissage-profond, le data-mining, etc. Plus sp?cifiquement, ce num?ro entend interroger les cons?quences de ces dispositifs d?automatisation de la production, de la circulation et de la consommation des donn?es sur les modalit?s de reproduction soci?tale. Dans le champ des th?ories critiques, un certain nombre de travaux contemporains font ?tat de la mise en place d?une nouvelle logique de r?gulation soci?tale apolitique, a-normative et op?rationnelle (Freitag, 2013) qui s?instituerait avec la num?risation g?n?ralis?e des soci?t?s. Ces nouvelles mani?res de r?guler la pratique sociale au moyen d?algorithmes sont tant?t nomm?es ? gouvernementalit? algorithmique ? (Rouvroy et Berns, 2013) ou encore ? soci?t? automatique ? (Stiegler, 2015). Ces travaux soutiennent notamment que l?utilisation des donn?es massives ? des fins de personnalisation, de microciblage ou d?optimisation des processus de prise de d?cision par gestion pr?dictive au moyen d?algorithmes ou par l?apprentissage machine, participerait d?une mutation des soci?t?s qui marquerait une rupture avec les id?aux sur lesquels s??taient ?difi?es les soci?t?s modernes. On reconna?t g?n?ralement que la modernit? s?est institu?e ? partir d?un ensemble de m?diations sociales permettant aux soci?t?s de penser r?flexivement leurs pratiques. Les soci?t?s modernes reposent notamment sur des m?diations symboliques et culturelles orientant significativement la pratique sociale au sein d?un monde commun (Freitag, 2011). Elles se caract?risent ?galement par la mise en place de m?diations politico-institutionnelles permettant aux soci?t?s de se donner r?flexivement des finalit?s collectives qui se l?gitiment au moyen d?une d?lib?ration rationnelle au sein d?un espace public politique (Habermas, 1993). Qu?advient-il lorsque ces m?diations sont court-circuit?es ou encore remplac?es par des proc?dures automatis?es de prises de d?cision fonctionnant au moyen d?algorithmes auto-apprenants?? S?agit-il d?une rupture avec un certain id?al que s?est donn? le monde moderne ou encore d?une radicalisation de certaines de ces dimensions constitutives?? Les ?tudes critiques en communication sont bien plac?es pour analyser ces processus puisque les dispositifs de Big data et d?intelligence artificielle reposent sur une id?ologie de la communication (Breton et Proulx, 2002), laquelle poss?de comme sp?cificit? de se pr?senter comme l?expression imm?diate du r?el (Sfez, 1992). Selon cette logique, qui tire ses origines de la cybern?tique, les soci?t?s n?auraient plus besoin de passer par des m?diations symboliques et politiques pour permettre leur reproduction (Lafontaine, 2004). Cette r?flexion appara?t d?autant plus n?cessaire que les discours promotionnels tenus ? la fois par les puissances ?conomiques et politiques entourant la num?risation des soci?t?s soutiennent que la mise en place de m?canismes de r?gulation sociale non coercitifs et efficients au moyen d?algorithmes auto-apprenants serait en mesure de prendre des d?cisions de mani?re automatis?e et hautement rationalis?e en ?vacuant la subjectivit? humaine (Cukier et Viktor Mayer-Sch?nberger, 2013), et ce, dans l?ensemble des sph?res de la pratique sociale : villes intelligentes (Kitchin, 2015), sant? (Swan, 2009), ?conomie (Brynjolfsson et McAfee, 2014), s?curit? (Amoore, 2013), finance (Arnoldi, 2016?; Pasquale, 2015), m?dias (Anderson, 2011), politique (Harsin, 2015), etc. Pourtant, alors que ces logiques algorithmiques ont la pr?tention d??vacuer la part de subjectivit? inh?rente ? toute dynamique de r?gulation sociale, la notion de ? social ? semble paradoxalement omnipr?sente ? l??re num?rique (m?dias sociaux, social analytics, innovation sociale, etc.) (Davies, 2015). Dans ce contexte, la plupart des travaux dans le domaine des ?tudes en science, technologie et soci?t? (STS Studies) qui d?construisent la bo?te noire des algorithmes visent ? remettre en question la s?paration entre la sph?re de la technique et la sph?re du social en montrant que l?adoption d?un type de technologie particulier d?coule de choix sociaux. Comme le soutient Feenberg, si les approches constructivistes dominantes dans le champ de la sociologie de la technique ? notamment la th?orie de l?acteur-r?seaux (Callon, Law, Rip, 1986?; Latour, 1991) ? d?-r?ifient les dispositifs technologiques et remettent en question les postulats du d?terminisme technologique, ? elles refusent de s?affronter aux grands enjeux g?n?raux de la modernit? qu?avait soulev?s l??cole de Francfort ? (Feenberg, 2004 : 9). Ces approches ne s?int?ressent g?n?ralement qu?? des cas particuliers et n?interrogent pas les cons?quences sociales des choix technologiques en termes de rapports de pouvoir et de domination globaux (Winner, 1993). Pourtant, une des vis?es de toute th?orie critique est de saisir dialectiquement comment des ph?nom?nes techniques, culturels et socio-politiques particuliers s?inscrivent dans une totalit? soci?tale (Fischbach, 2009). Force est de constater que les sciences humaines et sociales auraient int?r?t ? saisir ces enjeux ? partir d?une d?marche s?inspirant des th?ories critiques de la technique (notamment Marx, Ellul, Mumford, Innis, Foucault, Marcuse, Habermas, Heidegger, etc?) afin de comprendre les cons?quences au plan social-historique des nouvelles formes de r?gulation soci?tales induites par les donn?es massives, l?intelligence artificielle et les algorithmes. Axes de la th?matique Ce num?ro de tic&soci?t? entend donc poursuivre cette r?flexion globale portant sur le r?le des nouvelles logiques algorithmiques dans l?analyse des transformations des diverses m?diations qui participent ? la reproduction des soci?t?s. Cette r?flexion peut ?tre abord?e ? partir des cinq principales dimensions suivantes : ?pist?mologique Alors que la science moderne se caract?risait par une vis?e de connaissance r?flexive de la r?alit? fond?e sur un id?al de v?rit?, dans la (techno)science postmoderne, qui est travers?e par une logique de marchandisation et la num?risation de la connaissance (Lyotard, 1979?; Stiegler, 2012), le nouveau crit?re de validation du savoir ne serait plus la Raison, mais plut?t la performativit?. Dans ce contexte, les nouveaux outils de traitement des donn?es massives ont la pr?tention de saisir imm?diatement le r?el sans passer par les th?ories scientifiques (Anderson, 2008). Quelles sont les cons?quences sociales de cette transformation ?pist?mologique?? Comment r?activer les conditions de possibilit? de la critique sociale, dans la mesure o? ces dispositifs ont la pr?tention de produire des normes qui seraient l?expression imm?diate du r?el?? Assistons-nous ? une crise des r?gimes de v?rit? (Rouvroy et Stiegler, 2015) ou entrons-nous plut?t dans un nouveau r?gime de post-v?rit? (Harsin, 2015)?? Juridico-politique La mise en place de proc?dures automatis?es de r?gulation sociale s?inscrit dans le passage de l?id?e moderne de gouvernement vers ce qu?Alain Supiot (2015) a nomm? une gouvernance par les nombres et Rouvroy et Berns (2013) une ? gouvernementalit? algorithmique ?. Comment penser la praxis politique dans le contexte o? ces dispositifs visent ? contourner la capacit? des peuples ? institutionnaliser leurs finalit?s normatives sous la forme de la Loi?? Sommes-nous en train de passer d?un ?tat de droit ? un ?tat de fait?? M?diatique De plus en plus, les discours politiques au sein des m?dias socionum?riques sont automatis?s, tant sur le plan de la production que de la distribution et de la consommation. Le microciblage des comportements individuels semble ?loigner les citoyens des valeurs collectives (le cas de Cambridge Analytica) et confine les sujets dans leur dynamique de personnalisation (echo chamber) (Jacobson, Myung et Johnson, 2016). De plus, l?espace public ? num?rique ? doit d?sormais composer avec la prolif?ration d?opinions, rumeurs et fausses nouvelles, sans compter les ing?rences inter?tatiques (Shorey & Howard, 2016). Quelles sont les cons?quences de ces diverses manifestations que prend la gouvernementalit? algorithmique sur l?espace public?? ?conomique Quelles sont les cons?quences de la mise en place de la logique algorithmique dans les transformations du capitalisme contemporain (Mosco, 2014?; Ouellet, 2016?; Srnicek, 2018)?? Si le travail est constitutif du capitalisme en ce qu?il s?agit de la m?diation ? partir de laquelle est produite la dynamique de valorisation du capital, en quoi l?extension de l?automatisation du travail manuel au travail intellectuel et l?apparition de nouvelles formes d?exploitation du travail num?rique (Cardon et Cassilli, 2015) affectent-elles la capacit? du syst?me capitaliste ? se reproduire (McChesney et Nichols, 2016?; Stiegler, 2015)?? En quoi ces dynamiques modifient-elles le conflit historique opposant le travail au capital (Dyer-Whiteford, 2015)?? Culturel-symbolique En quoi les logiques d?automatisation et d?industrialisation des m?diations symboliques (Mondoux et M?nard, 2018) sous la forme de syst?mes de recommandation permettant la personnalisation des offres de contenu culturel et m?diatique transforment-elles la capacit? des soci?t?s ? produire une culture commune?? Comment les transformations culturelles induites par ces s?miotiques machiniques/a-signifiantes (Lazzarato, 2006) affectent-elles les modalit?s g?n?rales de reproduction soci?tale??

Bishop?s 6 et 7 mai 2020 Les membres du laboratoire / art et soci?t? / terrains et th?ories (l/as/tt), en collaboration avec la Chaire Fernand-Dumont sur la culture (INRS), invitent les auteurs ? pr?senter leur proposition de communication qui explore les transformations r?centes et les enjeux actuels qui marquent les relations entre les milieux artistiques et culturels et le monde universitaire. Si les liens entre ces deux univers sont aujourd?hui bien ?tablis, ils sont pourtant le r?sultat d?une histoire r?cente qui a permis l?int?gration dans le syst?me universitaire de savoirs et de pratiques qui en ?taient traditionnellement demeur?s ? la marge. Au Qu?bec, la Commission royale d?enqu?te sur l?enseignement des arts (Rapport Rioux, 1966-1968), qui recommandait pr?cis?ment l?int?gration de l?enseignement des arts ? l?universit?, marque un tournant important dans l??volution de cette relation. En r?sulte l?int?gration des ?coles de beaux-arts ? l?universit? et le d?veloppement de programmes universitaires dans une multiplicit? de domaines artistiques jusque-l? non couverts. Aujourd?hui, les arts et la cr?ation semblent avoir trouv? leur place ? l?universit?, contribuant d?sormais ? ses trois missions fondamentales que sont l?enseignement, la recherche et le service ? la communaut?. En enseignement, des programmes de formation ont ?t? ?labor?s aux trois cycles universitaires dans toutes les disciplines artistiques (arts visuels, arts de la sc?ne, cin?ma, cr?ation litt?raire, architecture) dans plusieurs autres domaines cr?atifs (design, mode, m?dias, etc.), ainsi que dans les domaines d?interm?diation des arts (commissariat, m?diation, gestion). En recherche, l?int?gration des artistes au sein des communaut?s universitaires a ouvert de nouvelles voies sous la forme de la recherche-cr?ation qui est d?sormais reconnue et financ?e par les principaux organismes de soutien ? la recherche universitaire. Cette nouvelle approche a permis d?ouvrir de nouveaux espaces de cr?ation pour les artistes, mais a ?galement donn? naissance ? de nouvelles recherches interdisciplinaires qui int?grent le travail cr?atif ? un ensemble de domaines qui vont bien au-del? de la facult? des arts. Enfin, l?int?gration des arts a ?t? l?occasion pour plusieurs universit?s de renouveler leurs liens avec la communaut?. La pr?sence d?artistes, de cr?ateurs, d??crivains, de critiques et de m?diateurs sur les campus fait en sorte que les universit?s sont devenues des lieux de socialisation importants qui se trouvent en dialogue constant avec les milieux artistiques professionnels. Or, l?engagement des universit?s ? ce chapitre d?passe les milieux artistiques professionnels pour toucher aussi les publics de la culture, notamment par la mise en place d??quipements et d?institutions culturelles sur les campus ou, plus r?cemment, par la cr?ation de centres ou de programmes d?intervention sur le territoire qui font usage des arts et de la m?diation culturelle. Ainsi, les universit?s sont aujourd?hui des joueurs incontournables des milieux culturels et artistiques, certaines d?entre elles faisant m?me de cette implication l?une de leurs marques distinctives dans le paysage universitaire qu?b?cois. Or, si l?int?gration des arts ? l?universit? semble naturelle de prime abord, elle n?est pas sans susciter un certain nombre de tensions. Ainsi, le colloque invite ? r?fl?chir aux zones de contact, aux points d?achoppement et aux questionnements que peut susciter la rencontre des univers artistiques et culturels et du monde universitaire. Parmi les questions qui pourraient ?tre abord?es dans les communications, on note par exemple : Quelle est la nature des savoirs d?velopp?s par les arts et comment se comparent-ils aux autres savoirs universitaires ? Quels sont les modes d?apprentissage de la cr?ation ? Comment le monde universitaire a-t-il modifi? l?enseignement des arts ? Quelle est la relation entre ?rudition et intuition dans les processus de cr?ation et comment ceux-ci s?articulent-ils dans l?enseignement des arts ? Dans quelle mesure peut-on consid?rer la cr?ation d?une ?uvre comme une forme de recherche au sens universitaire ? Les concepts de libert? artistique et libert? acad?mique sont-ils comparables ? En quoi la pr?sence accrue du monde acad?mique dans les milieux artistiques a-t-elle modifi? la mani?re d?envisager l?art et la cr?ation ? Quelle est la l?gitimit? de l?intervention universitaire dans les milieux artistiques ? Quelle est la place de la recherche-cr?ation dans l?action culturelle des universit?s ? Le colloque sera structur? autour des quatre axes suivants : 1. Entre l??cole d?art et la facult? : les dispositifs institutionnels 2. Les enjeux de la recherche-cr?ation 3. Les impacts de l?universit? sur l??cologie des milieux artistiques 4. L?implantation dans la ville et l?action culturelle des quartiers universitaires Les auteurs sont invit?s ? proposer une communication en lien avec l?un ou plusieurs de ces axes. Une s?lection de communications pr?sent?es dans le cadre de ce colloque sera r?unie dans un num?ro th?matique d?une revue scientifique. Des informations suppl?mentaires sur cette publication seront donn?es lors du colloque. Les propositions de communication doivent inclure le titre de la communication (max. 180 caract?res espaces compris), un r?sum?

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.

What does it mean to explore the matter of things at a time when we are threatened with the annihilation of that matter, its disappearance, or its disintegration? The second issue of MAST journal seeks to answer and further explore these questions through essays from arts practitioners and theorists. Questions of materiality have been central to both media arts practice and media and communication theory. In most accounts, media is situated as the ?inbetween? of bodies. A sender and a receiver, one and an other, stand at either side of a divide and communicate via a medium. In this sense, media might, following Sybille Kr?mer?s (2015) reading of Habermas, be considered erotic, connecting material bodies, providing the conditions for the emergence of material assemblages. Of course, media may undertake the opposite role, as Kr?mer also points out, dividing matter into separate bodies, keeping the sender and receiver at a distance. Media arts practice in the most general sense has been about asking questions about these functions of mediation, which connect, divide and express materialities. Another approach to questions of materiality and media focuses on the matter of media, particularly with respect to the way it may provide the framing for discourse, social relationships and experience in general. Friedrich Kittler (1999) perhaps most famously said that ?media determine our situation?, pointing to the impact of technical media on the conditions for discourse in the 20th century. Or as Daniel Miller argues, it is often the invisibility of material objects that give them their power. Miller writes, ?objects are important not because they are evident and physically constrain or enable, but often precisely because we do not ?see? them. The less we are aware of them, the more powerfully they can determine our expectations by setting the scene and ensuring normative behaviour, without being open to challenge? (Miller 5). The field has been grappling with these questions since its inception, and we feel that now, due to intense changes in the political and ecological systems of our planet, the time has come to try and see how we might further these modes of inquiry to address times of crisis. For this second issue, MAST journal is looking for essays from media arts practitioners that theorize, reflect on or otherwise explore their own practice in relation to these themes, as well as essays from media theorists, media philosophers and media archaeologists that address materiality and media art practice. In this issue, we invite essays that address the topic of materiality in relation to our contemporary political, environmental, social or economic state of emergency. We want authors to build on the work already done in the field to see how the materiality of media is implicated in or impacted by the emergence (as etymologically related to emergency) of these conditions. Furthermore, we are interested in receiving essays that address strategies of resistance to dominant paradigms or that offer alternative futures through the lens of materiality. We also welcome essays that conduct a rear-view analysis, exploring the relationship between the materiality of media at other times of crisis. Works Cited Kr?mer, Sybille.

About the journal: MAST is double-blind peer-reviewed journal featuring interdisciplinary scholarship in the domain of Media Study. MAST stands for ?Media Art Study and Theory? and aims to publish and promote innovative research and writing by artists and scholars who present new methods, approaches, questions, and studies in the field of media study and practice. MAST is housed in and sponsored by NeMLA (The Northeast Modern Language Association) at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. Journal editors: Maryam Muliaee (University at Buffalo), Mani Mehrvarz (University at Buffalo) About the guest editor: Timothy Barker is a senior lecturer in digital media in the School of Culture and Creative Arts at the University of Glasgow. His work to date has focused on media and the philosophy of time from both aesthetic and historical perspectives, which can be seen respectively in his two books: Time and the Digital (Dartmouth, 2012) and Against Transmission (Bloomsbury, 2018). In these books, along with other essays on the topic, he explores media forms such as experimental television, digital art, video games, cinema and photography based on what they can tell us about the cultural representations and operations of memory, history and temporality. ________________________________ Advisory Board: Timothy Barker (University of Glasgow) Ina Blom (University of Chicago) Lori Emerson (University of Colorado Boulder) Jordan Frith (Clemson University) Katherine Groo (Lafayette College) Jeffrey Kirkwood (Binghamton University) Matthew Kirschenbaum (University of Maryland) Ryan Lizardi (SUNY Polytechnic Institute) Carine Mardorossian (University at Buffalo) Shannon Mattern (The New School) Simone Natale (Loughborough University) Katharina Niemeyer (University of Quebec in Montreal) Jussi Parikka (University of Southampton) David Parisi (College of Charleston) Sheenagh Pietrobruno (Saint Paul University) Alexander Reid (University at Buffalo) Teri Rueb (University of Colorado Boulder) Mark Shepard (University at Buffalo) Jonathan Sterne (McGill University) Helen Thornham (University of Leeds) Bernadette Wegenstein (Johns Hopkins University) Ewa Wojtowicz (University of Arts in Poznan) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Elafros) Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2020 15:47:46 -0700 Subject: [acc-cca-l] CFP - Canadian Sociological Association-Culture Sessions-Deadline January 27, 2020 Message-ID: Dear colleagues, The following CFPs might be of interest to some members of the list. With apologies for cross-posting. The 54th Annual Conference of the Canadian Sociological Association will be held from Monday, June 1 through to Thursday, June 4, 2020 as part of the Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences Congress, this year taking place at Western University in London, Ontario. The CSA Conference theme for 2020 is ?Resisting Racism and Colonialism?. The deadline for abstract is January 27, 2020 (11:59 PM ? PST). Authors will be notified by Feb. 10, 2020 if their abstracts were accepted. The call for abstracts and list of conference sessions can be found here . The (open) Sociology of Culture sessions include: 1. *Cultural Forms of Resistance in the City, on Reserves, and In-Between: *An encouraging response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission ?Calls for Action? has been widespread support from the grass-roots to Canada?s federal level of government. However, as theories of cultural change warn, there is a risk that widespread acceptance may give way to saturation and a diminished sense of importance, in this case, of the value of reconciliation. One way to keep the interest in reconciliation alive is to look for real transformation in the form of empirical research, whether field-, participatory, or activist in methodology. This round-table session aims not only to keep the conciliatory spirit alive but also to encourage further strategies for critical analysis through the presentation of early-stage research having to do with cultural forms of resistance in urban spaces, on reserves, and in-between these spaces. This session invites papers that consider cultural forms of resistance, broadly, as in the arts and music that deal, for instance, with processes having to do with classicism, racialization and colonization, and as practised in various spatial-temporalities. Papers ranging from the theoretical to practicable are welcomed. *Organizer: **Aaron Klassen *, Booth University College 2. *Cultural Production and Culture Consumption:* This session explores how cultural goods are made and circulate in society. We welcome papers that deal with the production of art and culture and/or the consumption of art and culture. Possible themes include but are not limited to: understandings and evaluations of art; the relationship between art and commerce; artistic and creative work and labour; cultural capital and/or omnivorousness. *Organizers: **Allyson Stokes *, Memorial University, *Athena Elafros *, University of Lethbridge, *Saara Liinamaa *, University of Guelph 3. *Cultural Theory:* This session invites papers that respond to issues and debates in cultural theory. How is cultural theory defined? What is/is not cultural theory? What is the contemporary status of cultural theory in sociology? How is social theory and cultural theory brought together and/or kept apart? But alongside these questions, we are witnessing a renewed interest in cultural theory's capacity to address contemporary challenges, from climate disaster to anti-immigration organizing to the increasing economic uncertainties of cultural production. We welcome diverse interpretations and approaches to the session?s theme; this includes anything from papers on theoretically informed cases studies to papers on theoretical lineages and reinterpretations. All theoretical orientations are welcome. *Organizers: **Saara Liinamaa *, University of Guelph, *Athena Elafros *, University of Lethbridge 4. *Culture and Inequality:* This session invites papers that examine the role of inequality in shaping culture and of culture in shaping inequality. Potential topics include: How does position within social or economic hierarchies shape individuals' cultural repertoires? When and how does culture affect social stratification? When and how do individuals use culture as a source of social mobility? How do we value or devalue cultural repertoires or strategies associated with particular groups? We welcome papers from diverse methodological and substantive areas, as well as both empirical and theoretical contributions. *Organizers: **Allyson Stokes *, Memorial University, *Athena Elafros *, University of Lethbridge, *Saara Liinamaa *, University of Guelph Best wishes, Athena -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A downloadable PDF of the report can be found here. The report covers 20 sectors of the telecoms, internet & media industries in Canada over a 34-year period. It also expands greatly on its coverage of online video services like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Crave, SportsNet Now, illico, etc and 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. 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, where Videotron has carved out a 13% market share for itself by revenue, and modestly in Ontario, Alberta and BC where Shaw-owned Freedom Mobile has carved out an estimated market share of between 5% and 6%. That said, the big three national mobile network operators'--Rogers, Bell and TELUS--market share still stood at a very high 91.3%. The same trends apply to local retail internet access and cable TV markets: both are extremely concentrated but have become steadily less so over the last decade. In short, there are strong reasons for concern in all these industries. The report also identifies two other qualitative features of the network media economy that set Canada apart from other countries: 1. the sky-high levels of diagonal integration where mobile wireless, wireline internet access and cable TV service are owned by one and the same player whereas there are often more than one stand-alone mobile network operators competing in the market in other countries, such as Vodafone throughout much of Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as T-Mobile and Sprint in the United States; 2. levels of vertical integration are also exceptionally high in Canada, with all of the main TV services, except for the CBC and Netflix, owned by telecoms operators. By 2018, four vertically-integrated communications conglomerates had come to account for 57% of the $87.2 billion network media economy: Bell, Rogers, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor. Whether the CRTC will do anything to respond to such realities is increasingly looking doubtful. Its failure to release its annual flagship publication, The Communications Monitoring Report, in a timely fashion, missing data, a series of rulings that downplay the extent of concentration as well as vertical- and diagonal-integration, and grossly inflated estimates for the revenues of online video providers like Netflix and Amazon Video in Canada that serve to heighten the sense that Canadian culture is under siege all suggest that the Commission is returning to the protection of ?national champions?, a nationalistic view of Canadian content and a bureaucratic conception of the public interest that its previous chairs over the past decade had steadily moved away from. Like the first report in this series, this report focuses foursquare on Google and Facebook?s growing dominance of the internet advertising market in Canada. Together, these two companies controlled for 78.2% of the $7.6 billion in 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. Vertical integration is also increasingly coming to define the internet giants as well, with Google, for example, now owning and controlling not only its iconic search engine but also Youtube, the Chrome browser, Android operating system and its own digital advertising exchange (as well as the audience data upon which it operates) that underpins a great deal of the online advertising market. Conversely, however, 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. 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 they account for just under an estimated three-quarters of the online gaming industry, and thus do not dominate online gaming. Apple?s iOS app store and Google Play had a combined estimated revenue of $360.6 million in 2018, or roughly 27% of online gaming, gaming applications, game downloads, and in-game purchases revenue. While this is up considerably over the past five years, they do not dominate this sector either. In sum, 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 netted $7.9 billion last year, 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 the report highlights the fact that while the big six US-based internet giants account for just under a tenth of all revenues across the network media economy in Canada, the top five Canadian companies accounted for nearly three-quarters of the $86.2 billion network media economy last year?a figure that was up significantly from the year before. They ?big five? Canadian companies 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. Over and above mapping the cross-cutting trends across the 20 sectors of the telecoms, internet and media industries that it covers, the report offers a series of policy recommendations that aim to address the high levels of concentration as well as vertical and diagonal-integration wherever they prevail without fear or favour for either the well-established telecoms and media companies that have long held sway in Canada or in the online, digital media sectors that are increasingly being dominated by a handful of global internet giants such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Netflix. In terms of dealing with these realities, the report offers a half-dozen recommendations. The same principle of ?vertical separation? that underpins common carriage (aka net neutrality), 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, 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 policy and regulatory principles are reviewed: 1. 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; 2. network interconnection and inter-operability and data portability rules to counter the ?platformization? of the internet; 3. strong data and privacy protection rules based on the European Union?s General Data Protection Rules as a floor; 4. the selective application of the EU?s Audiovisual Media Services Directive (2016) to online video-on-demand services; 5. ?functionally equivalent rules? should be applied to functionally similar activities, i.e. election advertising rules should be applied in a ?platform neutral? manner. best wishes, Dwayne Professor, School of Journalism and Communication and Director of the Canadian Media Concentration Research Project, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada Phone: 613 520-2600 x.7525 Mobile: 613 769-7587 Follow me on Twitter: @mediamorphis Visit my blogs: www.cmcrp.org; https://dwmw.wordpress.com/ This email contains links to content or websites.

More obviously, the history of space exploration is closely tied to Cold War military and economic imperatives. Today, established space agencies are struggling with national funding, and numerous countries are starting ambitious space programs, and private companies and individuals are building innovative space plans and technologies. The current socio-political configuration offers thinkers and practitioners new opportunities by which to intervene in how we envision and inhabit the cosmos. Media Theory, Media Fiction, and Infrastructures Beyond the Earth is a two-day workshop May 7-8, 2020 at University of Toronto, Mississauga that will investigate space exploration and inhabitation from the point of view of media studies. Because media infrastructures are outer space's condition, media scholars and practitioners are uniquely equipped to critically engage with the debates and issues surrounding the anthropological, social and political implications of space exploration. Outer space is a field of activity conditioned by the tools, artifacts, devices, and dispositives of media studies, revealing that humanity's relationship with the cosmos is a mediated one: we rely on satellites in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) for communication as well as for health and environmental monitoring and planning; on Geo Positioning Satellite (GPS) for navigation; on space travel apparatuses for the development of methods of storage and transportation of information, bodies, and goods; on tele-communication devices for interplanetary transmission; on the tools of media archeology for data sampling; on the tools of media geology for mining and extraction; and on the tools of information sciences for data processing and visualization. Outer space is a site of both potential inhabitation and politics in which medium design plays a crucial role. Today, as we face growing concerns about the future of human survival on Earth, we have to rethink our relationship to technology, land, population, property, resource extraction, and environmental management. Even more critically, as space exploration is being envisioned and imagined as a continuation of older logics - military, colonial, capitalist, sexist, classist, racist, ableist - we have to ask what kinds of theory, analysis, methods, techniques, and ethics are needed to critically inhabit the cosmos? This workshop will bring together media, information and communication scholars, and students working on outer space and communications infrastructure as well as academics, writers, and thinkers researching science and science fictions, as well as Afrofuturism and Indigenous futures. It will seek to formulate propositions on how media scholars and practitioners can provide noteworthy interventions into the current and future debates around space exploration and inhabitation. We especially welcome proposals from graduate students that propose innovative questions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes: Political economy of New Space companies Media infrastructure in outer space, e.g. satellite imaging Outer space and waste management Architecture in outer space, e.g. design of space colonies Media geology, land, and extractivism of outer space, e.g. asteroid mining Outer space and multimedia ethnography Outer space and the future of wearable technologies Media archeology and planetary histories Outer space, journalism, and media representations Militarization of outer space Media ecologies, ecosystems and ecological colonization of space Outer space and futures of marginalized groups Outer space, robots, and transhumanism Extraterrestrial and artificial intelligence Media, space and war We foresee this event as a collective think tank to reflect on the contribution of media scholars and practitioners to the future of space exploration. We wish to create the conditions for constructive dialogue and collective enunciation. We are thus especially keen on proposals that emerge from struggles of thought and work in progress, and which formulate questions and invite dialogue rather than offering fully articulated propositions. Graduate students and media practitioners are welcome to submit (1) an abstract (max. 250 words) of their planned contribution; (2) a question they would like to be addressed at the workshop and (3) a short biographical profile (max. 100 words) to spaceandmedia.uoft at gmail.com, by February 15.

Best regards, Johan S?derberg, Maxigas, Davide Orsini -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marxist STS Johan S?derberg (G?teborg University), Maxigas (Lancaster University / University of Amsterdam), and Davide Orsini (Mississippi State University) The historical roots of STS go back to Marxism. Many of the issues currently being debated in relation to technology and science begun as debates in-between Marxist intellectuals, notably concerning the status of science and ideology critique. By returning to this history and to Marxist theoretical resources, new insights can be gained when addressing STS questions. This panel invites presentations exploring the Marxist roots of STS as well as new, theoretical work broadly inspired by Marxism.

Depuis les ann?es 1960, on avait d?j? pu constater une lente ?rosion des rep?res politiques habituels : baisse de la participation ?lectorale, d?saffection partisane, perte de confiance envers les institutions et repr?sentants politiques. Or, avec l??re num?rique, nous assistons ? de nouveaux comportements politiques : alors m?me que de plus en plus de sources d?information sont accessibles, il y a une polarisation de l?opinion politique. Le commentaire et l?opinion sont souvent plus consult?s que les sources d?information et l?infox, commun?ment appel?e ? fake news ?, r?ussit ? se faufiler et ? se r?pandre ? une vitesse vertigineuse. Ce ph?nom?ne est d?ailleurs d?autant plus troublant qu?il correspond ? une p?riode o? les citoyens n?ont jamais ?t? aussi ?duqu?s et inform?s. Il y a quelques ann?es, on misait sur le journalisme citoyen et on croyait que les r?seaux sociaux allaient permettre une plus grande implication politique, voire m?me remplacer les partis. Du printemps arabe au mouvement #MeToo, de nombreux espoirs ?taient permis. Or, si on constate une augmentation de l?offre informationnelle de qualit? sur les plateformes num?riques des m?dias, elle c?toie toutefois les chroniques et les blogues d?humeur qui se sont multipli?s (ainsi que les commentaires haineux des Internautes) et qui sont souvent relay?s en boucle ? cause des algorithmes, contribuant ? renforcer les attitudes pr?existantes plut?t qu?? encourager l?ouverture et l?esprit critique. Certains croient d?ailleurs que cela fait en sorte que toute une partie de la sph?re publique ?chappe ainsi ? la population, son attention ?tant toujours concentr?e sur les m?mes ?l?ments. D?ailleurs, la structure ?conomique des m?dias sociaux en fait sourciller plus d?un depuis le scandale de Cambridge Analytica quant ? l?utilisation d?tourn?e de donn?es personnelles afin d?envoyer des publicit?s cibl?es ? des client?les ?lectorales. La vie politique a ?galement beaucoup chang? au cours des derni?res ann?es. La pr?sence sur les r?seaux sociaux est maintenant au c?ur des pr?occupations des partis politiques qui s?y adaptent tant bien que mal et qui doivent d?ployer de nouvelles strat?gies pour rejoindre les nouvelles g?n?rations. L?information circule ?galement beaucoup plus rapidement et toujours en continu, les temps de r?action sont ainsi ?court?s et la gestion de ? crise ? devient presque quotidienne. Lors des campagnes ?lectorales, on scrute le pass? Internet des candidats pour trouver des phrases malheureuses ou des faux pas qui ne passent pas ou ne passent plus. Ce ne sont donc pas toujours des conditions pour encourager la participation ? la vie politique. C?est donc sur ces th?mes que nous sollicitons vos propositions de communication : * Nouvelles formes de participation citoyenne et d?engagement politique * Comportement politique des g?n?rations Y et Z * Polarisation et chambres d??cho dans les r?seaux sociaux * Contenu num?rique des grands m?dias * Propagande et campagnes publicitaires cibl?es * Adaptation et nouvelles strat?gies de communication des partis * Usage des donn?es num?riques ? des fins de marketing politique * Infox (fausses nouvelles) et manipulation de l?information Date limite pour l?envoi de votre proposition de communication : 31 janvier 2020 via le site FourWaves : https://congressqsp.uqam.ca/.

In North America and Europe, progressive women made inroads into universities during the first half of the twentieth century, completing undergraduate degrees and receiving PhDs from research universities. Others, excluded from the academy by virtue of race or class, analyzed and criticized media industries as journalists, artists, producers, performers, and activists. Often, their work developed innovative theories of communication and methods and anticipated ideas, approaches, and concerns that would not reappear again until the early 1970s. Little of this work is taught today, particularly in courses mapping the emergence of the field of communication/media studies. The Ghost Reader addresses their absence, publishing previously unpublished, out-of-print or under-reviewed materials. By restoring to view the work that women did during this foundational period, The Ghost Reader restores their participation in broader conversations about media, media industries, and popular culture. What is The Ghost Reader? The Ghost Reader seeks intersectional contributions on women?s written work that engaged in broader conversations about communication, media, media industries, and popular culture, whether in the form of academic scholarship, journalism, or activism. We want to encourage others to do the same through a commitment to changing the future of the discipline. And we want to support and inspire additional feminist recovery work, reading and writing about the work of those recovered, and teaching with and about this ghost library. The Ghost Reader is a seed project that we hope will grow beyond the boundaries of the published volume, partaking in the larger ecology of transforming academic knowledge. The initial volume--to be published in print--is limited by geography to the United States and western Europe. It is also limited in scope due to space on the printed page. We hope that scholars outside the Global North will use The Ghost Reader?s model to transform the knowledge ecologies of media, communication, and cultural studies. Following the print volume, The Ghost Reader will expand onto the University of Minnesota?s digital publishing platform, Manifold, which will host all of the contributions. Why contribute? Instead of giving your labor for free to status quo pursuits, give it to feminist praxis: recover women?s erased history, help others learn about it, and create a vital foundation for future teaching and research. To acknowledge the contributions that will make The Ghost Reader possible, all contributors will be credited as contributing editors and all of those who help with transcriptions will be listed as contributing transcribers. How to contribute? The co-editors would be delighted to talk to you about the inclusion of any work by women in academia, journalism, or activism written or published between 1925-1968. We encourage collaborative contributions to the project. We are eager to discuss strategies that might facilitate your participation, including a workflow that emulates a manageable wiki project, integrating recovery work into class assignments at both the undergraduate and graduate level, using undergraduate and graduate research opportunities to conduct research, and participating in a Teaching Media Quarterly special issue on creating lesson plans based on The Ghost Reader. See additional ideas for how to collaborate on contributions here: http://reanimatepublishing.org/cfps/. Deadlines March 1, 2020: Submit a letter of interest, a short (no more than 300-word) abstract listing the scholar/researcher/critic you will be contributing to The Ghost Reader, and a biography. October 1, 2020: Full submissions due, including: 1. An introduction of no more than 1,000 words in plain text (.txt), Word (.doc or .docx), or Markdown (.md) about the career of the figure whose work the contributor is compiling, including a brief discussion of the continued relevance of the figure?s work to the field of communication/critical/cultural/media studies (we will not accept .pdfs); 2. Two articles by the figure. These articles should be transcribed by the contributor and be provided in plain text (.txt), Word (.doc or .docx), or Markdown (.md), along with pdfs of the original articles. The Reanimate Collective can work with contributors on transcription and file formats; 3. Copyright permissions for the two articles, information about copyright status, or a record of good faith attempts to locate the copyright holder for orphan works. The editors and Reanimate Collective can work with contributors on copyright issues; 4. A bibliography with additional citations by the figure whose work is being compiled; 5.

Best regards, Johan S?derberg, Maxigas, Davide Orsini -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marxist STS Johan S?derberg (G?teborg University), Maxigas (Lancaster University / University of Amsterdam), and Davide Orsini (Mississippi State University) The historical roots of STS go back to Marxism. Many of the issues currently being debated in relation to technology and science begun as debates in-between Marxist intellectuals, notably concerning the status of science and ideology critique. By returning to this history and to Marxist theoretical resources, new insights can be gained when addressing STS questions. This panel invites presentations exploring the Marxist roots of STS as well as new, theoretical work broadly inspired by Marxism.

Young Sent: Tuesday, December 3, 2019 9:28 AM To: acc-cca-l at mailman.ucalgary.ca Subject: CFP - Recounting Algorithms: A Workshop on Critical Algorithm Studies in the Library, 7-8 May 2020 at UTM Library *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 February 14, 2020. Successful applicants will be notified of acceptance by February 28, 2020. Email recountingalgs at gmail.com with additional questions.

Message-ID: Call for Papers *New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry, 2021 * Special Issue: Marxist transhumanism or Transhumanist Marxism? Guest editors: James Steinhoff and Atle Mikkola Kj?sen **Dealine: 29 February 2020** In this special issue call, New Proposals asks authors to explore how Marxism and Transhumanism might be brought into conjunction. Could there be a transhumanist Marxism or a Marxist transhumanism? Transhumanism is defined by its proponents as an ?intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally improving the human condition through applied reason, especially by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities? (Humanity+ n.d.). While this description says nothing about politics, transhumanism has been deeply pro-capital due to its popularization in the 1990s via techno-libertarian ?extropianism? (More 1990). Because of this, the promethean project of improving the human condition by technological means tends to be joined with, and confused for, capital accumulation. Some of the most radical transhumanist thinkers have tended to assume to continued functioning of capital amid cataclysmic socio-technological change. For example, although transhumanist luminary Ray Kurzweil argues that the coming technological singularity (the moment when machines exceed human capacities in all respects) will irreversibly transform every aspect of human life, and even ?death itself,? he still expects there to be a need for ?business models? (2005, 7). Today, transhumanism is tacitly represented in the operations of venture capitalists and the giant tech capitals. DeepMind, acquired by Google in 2014, seeks to ?solve intelligence? by creating AI with generalized learning abilities and Elon Musk?s Neuralink aims to provide a seamless machine connection to the human brain. However, transhumanism is not inherently incompatible with Marxist thought and communism. While transhumanism today appears to be a capitalist project, its historical lineage can be traced back to early twentieth century socialist thinkers such as Alexander Bogdanov, J. B. S Haldane, and J. D. Bernal (Bostrom 2005; Stambler 2010; Hughes 2012). Marx himself has many, what we might call ?high modernist? moments in which he argues for overcoming human and natural limits, and advocates the socialized use of technology to achieve freedom from necessity for all humans. This high modernist Marx can be read as expressing a transhumanist impulse toward technologically augmenting the human condition (Steinhoff 2014). With a few exceptions (Armesilla Conde 2018), Marxists have shown little interest in transhumanism, other than as an object of critique (Rechtenwald 2013; Noonan 2016). One exception to this are the left accelerationists/postcapitalism theorists, who draw on transhumanist motifs, such as cyborg augmentation, terraforming and full automation (Srnicek and Williams 2015; Mason 2016; Bastani 2019). Left accelerationism has, however, picked up transhumanist motifs while dropping the capital/labour antagonism central to Marxist thought, glossing over much of the difficult question of how exactly capital is supposed to come to an end. We suggest that left accelerationism forgets its Marxist roots as it is blinded by transhumanist futures. We argue that the issues central to transhumanism should not be the purview solely of representatives of capital like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, nor of the left accelerationists. Instead, Marxist thought should seriously engage with transhumanism in order to ?decouple it from its blindly capitalist trajectory, reflect on Marx?s own high modernist tendencies, and delineate a social project to embrace or escape? (Dyer-Witheford, Kjosen & Steinhoff, 2019, 161). Therefore we ask how a Marxist transhumanism or a transhumanist Marxism might be possible. For this special issue of New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry we are interested in contributions that engage transhumanism and Marxism with one another. We are not interested in Marxist dismissals of transhumanism. That is not to say that we do not welcome Marxist critiques of transhumanism. We are, however, seeking critiques which take at least some elements of the theory and/or practice of transhumanism seriously from within a Marxist framework. Possible topics include: syntheses of transhumanism and Marxism transhumanism and value theory (e.g. engagement with core concepts like social form, labour-power, the working day, surplus-value etc.) critically engaging with and/or embracing the high modernist moments in Marx?s thought staking out a communist approach to transhumanism and/or the singularity (e.g. a communist version of Kurzweil?s intelligence explosion) engaging with the transhumanist kernel in left-accelerationist thought from a Marxist perspective engaging with transhumanist projects or technologies from a Marxist perspective (e.g. radical life extension, terraforming, morphological freedom, space exploration, genetic modification, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, intelligence augmentation, brain emulation) connecting transhumanism to the history of Marxist thought and socialist societies (e.g. Soviet space endeavours, central planning) Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words in length, plus a short biography, to Dr. James Steinhoff (jsteinh at uw.edu) and Dr. Atle Mikkola Kj?sen (atlemk at gmail.com) by February 29th, 2020. Please put ?New Proposals special issue? in the subject line. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by March 31st, 2020. Full-length papers are 5,000 - 10,000 words.

New Proposals : Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry represents an attempt to explore issues, ideas, and problems that lie at the intersection between the academic disciplines of social science and the body of thought and political practice that has constituted Marxism over the last 150 years. New Proposals is a journal of Marxism and interdisciplinary Inquiry that is dedicated to the radical transformation of the contemporary world order. We see our role as providing a platform for research, commentary, and debate of the highest scholarly quality that contributes to the struggle to create a more just and humane world, in which the systematic and continuous exploitation, oppression, and fratricidal struggles that characterize the contemporary sociopolitical order no longer exist. New Proposals is a fully open access journal. We do not charge publication or user fees as a condition of publication. However, if your institution provides funding to support open access publications we ask authors of accepted papers to apply for open access funding support from their institution. For authors at open access funded institutions the production fee is $350 for articles. There are no production fees for student feature articles, or for book reviews, commentaries or reflections of 5,000 words or less. If you have any questions please contact us. We fundamentally support the principles of full open access in academic publishing. It does cost money to do this, even as we rely upon a lot of good will, volunteer labour, and self-exploitation to get the publication out the door. Any support or assistance is always appreciated!

Sherbrooke les 6 et 7 mai 2020 et qui s?inscrit dans la programmation du Centre de recherche Soci?t?, Droit et Religions de l?Universit? de Sherbrooke. Ce colloque propose de se pencher sur la probl?matique du vivre-ensemble en tentant de cerner ses contenus concrets et symboliques, tout en explorant ses limites (en relevant ce qui ne concerne pas le vivre-ensemble dans les soci?t?s modernes). L??v?nement sera structur? selon trois axes : 1) droit et diversit?; 2) entreprises et religions; 3) identit? et radicalisation. Chacun des axes orientera les contributions des participant.es en fonction de certaines th?matiques. L?axe droit et diversit? interpellera des chercheur.es qui travaillent, entre autres, sur les questions de la la?cit?, de la langue et des cultures autochtones (vivre-ensemble apr?s l?adoption de la loi 21 au Qu?bec ou ? la suite de la Commission v?rit? et r?conciliation). L?axe entreprises et religions se concentrera sur les espaces ouverts par le religieux dans le monde du travail (les entreprises de tendance, l?int?gration ?conomique des immigrants dans un contexte pluriel, le vivre-ensemble en lien avec le marketing de produits et services de nature religieuse). L?axe identit? et radicalisation s?int?ressera ? l??mergence de la radicalit? dans divers espaces d?mocratiques (populisme et mont?e des extr?mes, r?les et positionnements des m?dias face aux radicalismes, processus de radicalisation menant ? la violence). Sans se limiter ? ces exemples, les communications propos?es (conf?rences de vingt minutes) pourront s?inscrire ? l?int?rieur de l?un de ces axes. Veuillez faire parvenir vos propositions de communication (incluant votre nom et rattachement institutionnel, un titre ? maximum 180 caract?res ? et un descriptif ? maximum 1 500 caract?res, espaces comprises) ?

Workers Confronting Digital Capitalism, Conference, U of Toronto March 13 Message-ID: Log Out! 2: Workers Confronting Digital Capitalism https://www.mcluhancentre.ca/logout2 International Conference Friday March 13, 2020, 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Faculty of Information, University of Toronto (140 George Street) Digital capitalism is a terrain of social conflict. Work is increasingly shaped by the technologies used to reorganize the labour process and devise new forms of value generation. Technologies that allow to decompose or outsource jobs make workers increasingly replaceable. New surveillance techniques are used to control and discipline workers, and despotism is on the rise. But a long cycle of struggles has shown that workers don?t passively obey the rules of the digital workplace. 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, or game designers and tech 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 struggles. New forms of class composition boost solidarity and organizing in the digitally-mediated work environment. Workers log out from and subvert digital labour. Building on the success of the 2018 edition, Log Out! 2 brings together researchers and workers to discuss how digital capitalism can be confronted and subverted.

The symposium is the culminating event of a SSHRC-funded 2-year international project examining the concept of home for forced migrants of all identities, using arts-based research. The symposium will address some of the following questions: How can art practice become a space where citizenship is performed by homeless or underhoused refugees and asylum seekers? How can these practices be mobilized as knowledge that can impact the host culture? What happens when the spaces where people live are temporary, ephemeral and disconnected from the traditional architectural understanding of a house? How can research creation enhance, contradict, complement, or reinvent the official process of crossing a border, finding housing and striving for citizenship? What is the relationship of archive and memory to migration, and how can art remediate archival loss? How can migration arts, advocacy and research impact policy and the grassroots and/or government level? The symposium will group these questions under the following themes in the form of 4-5 round tables: *LGBT Migration, Research Creation & Media Advocacy * *Forced Migration: From Arts-based research to policymaking * *Media Poetics of Placemaking & Displacement * *Hosting Migrants: Hospitality as Placemaking* *Archives of Migration: affects, ephemerality, memorialization* We will also host a performance/film evening and a community arts fair. Formats can include scholarly papers, performance pieces, interactive workshops, and reading. We welcome proposals from scholars, artists, migrant artists, performers, poets, organizers, and any combination thereof. *Please send a 150 word abstract/proposal/description along with a bio to* *Marusya Bociurkiw* *Marusya at ryerson.ca * *Deadline Feb 20, 2020* Dr. Marusya Bociurkiw B.F.A., M.A., Ph.D. Associate Professor of Media Theory Ryerson University, 350 Victoria St., Toronto M5B 2K3 Website*:**https://marusyab.wixsite.com/marusya-bociurkiw* Director, *The Studio for Media Activism and Critical Thought* PI, *Finding Home: New Approaches to Migration & Housing Through Research-Creation* (SSHRC-Funded research-creation project).

Demonstrated excellence in undergraduate teaching, a commitment to experiential learning, experience liaising with university faculty and staff, and familiarity with diverse groups of students will be assets. The successful candidate must have a PhD in Communication Studies or a related field. The salary range for this position at the rank of Lecturer is $65,000 to $100,000. The closing date for applications is March 20, 2020.

Extraordinary CfP for IAMCR 2020 in Tampere Message-ID: <695e2f42-e6c8-e245-ac98-d485a56c3e42@iamcr.org> IAMCR?s Beijing conference postponed; IAMCR 2020 to take place in Finland The International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) and our partners in China, Tsinghua University in Beijing and XJTLU in Suzhou, have been working for more than a year to prepare IAMCR 2020 in Beijing in July 2020. The unfortunate and difficult situation resulting from the coronavirus Covid-19 has forced us to reconsider our plans and we have jointly agreed not to hold IAMCR 2020 in Beijing. Nevertheless, given the effort that has already been expended to prepare the conference, the significant opportunity and milestone that holding IAMCR in China represents for both IAMCR and our Chinese partners, and as a way of reinforcing our solidarity with Chinese scholars, IAMCR?s Executive Board and International Council have invited Tsinghua and XJTLU to host our conference in 2022. IAMCR?s Executive Board and International Council have also accepted a highly suitable offer to host the conference at Tampere University in Tampere, Finland, for the same dates, 12-16 July 2020. Professor Kaarle Nordenstreng, an IAMCR member since the 1960s, and his colleagues have been able to move quickly to establish support for hosting the conference and we thank them for their efforts. Tampere is well established with excellent facilities and a good track record for holding conferences. The Tampere conference will maintain the same dates, the same theme, even the same logo and many other elements already prepared for Beijing, including for example, some of the plenary themes and speakers. Authors who have submitted abstracts for the Beijing conference easily will be able to have them considered for Tampere, and an extraordinary reopening of the CfP will allow a brief window for authors who chose not to submit for Beijing, to send abstracts for consideration for Tampere. Tampere has also committed to ensuring that technical facilities are in place to facilitate internet streaming of key sessions and video presentations for authors unable to attend the conference. Extraordinary reopening of IAMCR 2020 call for papers The change of venue from Beijing to Tampere is accompanied with an extraordinary reopening of the IAMCR 2020 call for papers for authors who did not submit to the Beijing conference but want their work considered for Tampere. IAMCR invites the submission of abstracts of papers and proposals for panels for the 2020 conference of the association, which will be held from 12 to 16 July, 2020 at Tampere University in Tampere. Submissions for this extraordinary reopening will be accepted from Monday 17 February, 2020 until Monday 2 March 2020 at 23:59 UTC. Several of IAMCR?s thematic sections and working groups also welcome submissions for video presentations .

URL: From theop at yorku.ca Sun Feb 16 11:48:25 2020 From: theop at yorku.ca (Philippe Theophanidis) Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2020 18:48:25 +0000 Subject: [acc-cca-l] =?utf-8?q?CFP_Extended=3A_=E2=80=9CInterruptions?= =?utf-8?q?=E2=80=9D_5th_Spiral_Film_and_Philosophy_Conference?= Message-ID: <426FE85D-8E94-48BB-9CB1-FFDF86C3528C@yorku.ca> Call for papers 5th Spiral Film and Philosophy Conference ?Interruptions? Toronto, Canada, May 8-9, 2020 DEADLINE EXTENDED MARCH 1st, 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.

Lemieux, 4 et 5 mai 2020 Dans le cadre du 88e Congr?s de l?Acfas ? Sherbrooke, 4-8 mai 2020 Site officiel ACFAS: https://www.acfas.ca/evenements/congres/programme-preliminaire/600/602 ?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.

Sherbrooke les 6 et 7 mai 2020 et qui s?inscrit dans la programmation du Centre de recherche Soci?t?, Droit et Religions de l?Universit? de Sherbrooke. Ce colloque propose de se pencher sur la probl?matique du vivre-ensemble en tentant de cerner ses contenus concrets et symboliques, tout en explorant ses limites (en relevant ce qui ne concerne pas le vivre-ensemble dans les soci?t?s modernes). L??v?nement sera structur? selon trois axes : 1) droit et diversit?; 2) entreprises et religions; 3) identit? et radicalisation. Chacun des axes orientera les contributions des participant.es en fonction de certaines th?matiques. L?axe droit et diversit? interpellera des chercheur.es qui travaillent, entre autres, sur les questions de la la?cit?, de la langue et des cultures autochtones (vivre-ensemble apr?s l?adoption de la loi 21 au Qu?bec ou ? la suite de la Commission v?rit? et r?conciliation). L?axe entreprises et religions se concentrera sur les espaces ouverts par le religieux dans le monde du travail (les entreprises de tendance, l?int?gration ?conomique des immigrants dans un contexte pluriel, le vivre-ensemble en lien avec le marketing de produits et services de nature religieuse). L?axe identit? et radicalisation s?int?ressera ? l??mergence de la radicalit? dans divers espaces d?mocratiques (populisme et mont?e des extr?mes, r?les et positionnements des m?dias face aux radicalismes, processus de radicalisation menant ? la violence). Sans se limiter ? ces exemples, les communications propos?es (conf?rences de vingt minutes) pourront s?inscrire ? l?int?rieur de l?un de ces axes.

The conference will offer an opportunity for celebrating RIPE's legacy and the 70th anniversary of the EBU. Conference Theme Public Service Media (PSM) organizations across Europe and beyond are increasingly under pressure. Due to digitization, media use is changing rapidly, with streaming services and online platforms gaining in importance and making it harder for legacy media to hold their ground. This affects both public and private media. With users and advertising shifting to search engines and social networks, the business model of newspaper publishers is also under pressure, which, in turn, leads to disagreement about PSM's online activities. In addition, many policy-makers are highly critical of PSM due to a belief in the efficiency of market solutions or - especially in the case of right-wing populist parties - for political reasons. As a result, both PSM's role in a digital environment and its funding are under scrutiny. PSM seem to be constantly in the position of having to defend themselves. Following attempts at demonstrating the "public value" of PSM, the discussion is now turning towards the concept of PSM's "contribution to society". Communication and media scholars need to critically discuss the analytical value and the usefulness of new concepts that are circulated in industry and policy-making. The 2020 conference of the International Association of Public Media Researchers / RIPE at 2020 thus focuses on the concept of contribution to society. Presumably, it is uncontroversial to claim that PSM need to make a particular contribution to society in order to have a continuous reason to exist in media landscapes characterized by competition and abundance. And it should also be self-evident that PSM's contribution should be distinct and distinctive from what private media and online platforms (e.g. social media) offer. However, beyond these general statements the concept of contribution to society raises the important question of which contributions to which society. After all, society is changing. Research has focused on a number of trends like transnationalization, neo-liberalization, digitization or individualization that deeply affect modern societies. Audiences in different media systems are not only confronted with more media products than ever before and can become involved in production themselves but are also less homogenous or monolithic than they were in the past. These trends thus radically alter the relationship between professional media organizations and citizens. Moreover, they challenge the notion of an all-encompassing public sphere, nurturing new ideas like, for instance, of a network of public spaces. Consequently, it is necessary to rethink the role of media organizations in general and PSM in particular in a more fragmented society. On the one hand, this involves refining the societal contribution of public service. Starting from the notion that PSM should, as McQuail (2010, p. 178) put it, "serve the public interest by meeting the important communication needs of society and its citizens", these needs (e.g., contribution to democratic governance and culture, production of information and knowledge, cohesion and integration, or progress) and the ways PSM can address these needs in unique ways other media cannot have to be identified. On the other hand, it is also necessary to modernize the ways in which PSM provide their contribution to society. Beyond producing content for all kinds of distribution channels, platforms and usage scenarios (ranging from the living room to mobile consumption), PSM have the chance to involve citizens in production and to evolve the ways in which their content reaches audiences (e.g., personalization based on algorithms). Moreover, it is necessary to discuss how the contribution of PSM to society can be measured. In order to be meaningful for society and to have an effect on PSM organizations, "contribution to society" needs to be more than just an instrument of legitimacy management by organizations under pressure. While communicating the many valuable contributions of PSM is important, the task at hand is not solving a communication problem. The concept is useless if it is limited to the question of how to better sell the contribution of PSM to citizens instead of guaranteeing that PSM actually serves the public interest and makes a contribution worth paying for and talking about. Seen in this light, critically analyzing the concept of "contribution to society" is not only a worthwhile task for communication and media scholars but also a meaningful undertaking for the future of PSM. Topics of Working Groups Scholars from various research fields of media and communication as well as from neighboring disciplines are invited to submit abstracts for both conceptual and empirical contributions addressing one or more of the following topics. The topics will comprise the working group structure for this conference. (1) Communication Needs of Changing Societies Starting from the idea that PSM should meet the communication needs of society and its citizens, societal change raises the question of which contributions are necessary today in order to meet these needs. Societies are more diverse than in the past; many democracies witness the ascent of populist parties and illiberal leaders; the amount of media content available to citizens is bigger than ever; the commercialization and concentration of media is uninhibited; platforms and streaming services gain in importance with respect to media use. In light of these changes, it is necessary to rethink the contribution of PSM. What role can PSM play in restoring the trustworthiness of media and institutions? How can PSM mediate between societal groups and integrate societies that are drifting apart? How do PSM contribute to political participation, culture life, and the realization of individuals' full potential? And how can we measure the impact of PSM and its contribution to society? We invite paper proposals that deal with the contribution of PSM in changing societies, how this contribution needs to adapt, and how it differs from the performance of commercial media. (2) New Forms of Contribution and Distinctiveness In order to be able to make a contribution to society and generate positive externalities, the content produced by PSM need to reach citizens in the first place. In today's media landscapes characterized by a plethora of broadcasting channels and online services this is not necessarily the case anymore. Hence, producing content for linear channels and offering these broadcasts on demand is not sufficient. Many PSM invest in web-only content that they also make available via third-party platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. And gradually, there is an understanding that "the" internet is not simply an additional distribution channel but allows for a personalization of content using algorithms. However, private media show little enthusiasm for these new forms of content provision by PSM and worry about market distortion. Which possibilities exist for PSM to reach audiences in a digital environment? What could a public service algorithm look like? And how should public and private media co-exist and/or collaborate in the online world? We invite paper proposals that deal with new forms of contribution, the distinctiveness of PSM, its relationship to and possibilities for collaboration with private media and platforms, and the shift from broadcasting to a personalized streaming service. (3) Involving Citizens, Building Communities Digitization fundamentally alters the relationship between media organizations and citizens. This change poses a huge challenge for all media organizations. Whereas in the past audiences only mattered when measuring media use, now there is a need to adjust media production: journalism needs to become more dialogic in nature as instant feedback and criticism is now possible; and users can contribute to reporting in various ways, e.g. as informants or via crowdsourcing. Yet beyond media production, the changed relationship to their audience also offers an opportunity for PSM to really become a media organization of the people, by the people and for the people. What possibilities are there to involve citizens in decision-making within PSM or to engage in dialogue that informs decision-making? How can PSM build a community among their users that also strengthens their legitimacy? And how does PSM matter in individuals' lives in ways that metrics of audience research cannot capture? We invite paper proposals that deal with the importance of audiences for PSM, the involvement of citizens within PSM, and ways to reinvigorate the rooting of PSM in society. (4) Governance, Communication and Legitimacy Management Recent reforms of media policy have also led to stricter regulation of PSM. On the one hand, in many countries the remit of PSM - especially with respect to online activities - has been defined more firmly and new services require public value tests. On the other hand, while still having better conditions than private media struck by crisis, PSM are expected to be more efficient or confronted with considerable budget cuts. Like other media organizations PSM respond to regulatory pressure and try to influence policy-making in their own interest. Concepts like "contribution to society" thus also can be seen as a strategic instrument of legitimacy management to deal with expectations of stakeholders. Is the concept of contribution an empty PR tool or is it inducing real change within PSM organizations? How does the interplay between policy-makers and PSM work in practice? And what role can communication scholars play in critically accompanying the change of media policy, PSM organizations and their contribution to society? We invite paper proposals that scrutinize the concept of contribution, focus on the politics of media policy, and the role of communication in the governance of PSM.

URL: From ebrophy at sfu.ca Mon Feb 24 14:50:12 2020 From: ebrophy at sfu.ca (Enda Brophy) Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 13:50:12 -0800 Subject: [acc-cca-l] TOPIA CFP--Zero Credit: Countering the Dreams of Techno-Finance Message-ID: <595BBCB8-1673-4F93-92B5-22ADD94BBF49@sfu.ca> Call for Proposals ?Zero Credit: Countering the Dreams of Techno-Finance? Special issue of TOPIA: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies Issue 44, Spring 2021 Edited by: Enda Brophy, Max Haiven and Benjamin Anderson For decades under neoliberalism the circuits of finance have been converging with those of information and communication technologies (ICTs). High-tech and big money are leading poles of capitalist accumulation as they restructure or eliminate other industries, capture and transform a vast gamut of social relations, and generate frenetic activity in the industrial expanse between them?a speculative and unfettered field of development known as ?fintech.? The rise of techno-finance in the first two decades of the twenty-first century presents a paradox. On the one hand, the commanding heights of the financialized, digital economy have come crashing down to earth at regular intervals. The dotcom bubble of 2000, the global financial crisis of 2007/2008, and the widespread revelations regarding surveillance capitalists? models of data capture in the 2010s have discredited these sectors and their elites. Techno-utopian schemes of ?financial inclusion? and the promises of a digitally networked public sphere have increasingly appeared morally, politically and economically dubious, if not bankrupt, when considered next to the social disintegration such models have wreaked on a wide scale. But if the history of capitalism has taught us anything, it is that crises are hardly a barrier to new frontiers of accumulation. Across the vast industrial intersection of finance and tech, the forging of business plans, technologies, and dreams has been white hot. Mobile lending apps have expanded their reach into the global south, crypto-currency capitalists plan tax-free societies run on blockchain principles, platform companies like Facebook dream up digital currencies beyond state control, and the latest ?development? schemes of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank (2018) rely on the possibilities of fintech. If the myth that better integration into capitalist markets through the spread of ICTs will ameliorate the ills of that system increasingly rings hollow (see Bernards 2019, Gabor and Brooks 2017, Mader 2016, Manyika 2016), it still proves more than functional in raising capital, marshalling labour, and providing the ideological accelerant for new extractive schemes. The fields of finance and tech converge in the notion of credit. On the one hand, the financial apparatus is a capitalist system for producing and allocating credit, a system that, today, as Randy Martin (2007) observed, increasingly divides global populations into the celebrated (and creditworthy) ?risk-takers? and the discreditable and abject ?at risk? populations whose ?financial illiteracy? must be policed and contained (see also Haiven 2017). On the other, the notion of ?credits? and ?accounts? has been borrowed from finance within the infrastructure by which corporate technologies integrate ?users? into their digital empires. Here, as Nick Dyer-Witheford (2015) illustrates, labour and life are increasingly disciplined and shaped by one?s accounts within the hyper-securitized micro-economies of a handful of leading ICT corporations. In both cases, the seemingly neutral, benign, or technocratic notion of credit, its actuarial banality, serves to hide or normalize the neocolonial forms of power and violence at work in our financialized society of control. Each form of credit actualizes our enrollment (and the expropriation of our data) within what Shoshana Zuboff (2019) calls ?behavioural futures markets.? Moreover, with the integration of the spheres of finance and digital technology we are witnessing the proliferation of modes of what Jackie Wang (2018) calls ?exclusion through financial inclusion? which, as Paula Chakravartty and Denise Ferreira da Silva (2012) note, aim to integrate the wretched of the earth into a sabotaged system (see also Taylor 2019). These and other authors note that we must see this as a continuation of the means by which capitalism has, throughout its history, seen the poor, the colonized, and the racialized as vectors for new experiments in financial technology, debt and economic power (Kish and Leroy 2015, Roy 2012). Meanwhile, as Veronica Gago (2015) and Silvia Federici (2018) point out, the expansion of digitalized global debt, both national and personal, represents a capitalist seizure of the sphere of social reproduction with particularly disastrous impacts on women. We propose the theme of ?Zero Credit? to designate two overlapping conditions which are the starting point of this collection?s focus. First, the familiar situation of having run out of credit, of being cast out from, yet still enmeshed within, the digital circuits of tech/finance. Second, we refer to the emergent situation of the collective calling in of the ?debts? of global capitalism in the form of people?s movement against and beyond financialization and the growing demand for radical alternatives to the global financial order: our credit may be at zero but so is our patience. As Frances Negron-Muntaner (P?rez-Rosario 2018) notes, we are in an era marked by the power of unpayable debts, as shown by the imposition of financially-led disaster capitalism in Puerto Rico (see also Klein 2018). The increasingly common condition of perpetual insolvency, of permanent bankruptcy, has become the staging ground for a new moment of anti-capitalist politics (Berardi 2012). What are the possibilities of what Peggy Kamuf (2007) called ?accounterability? in the present moment? What are the methods for countering the dominant measurements of accounts or of recounting value, life, the economy or the possibilities of technology otherwise? For this special issue of TOPIA: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies, we seek to map the convergence of ICTs and the debt/finance system, as well as to bring in to view the forces counteracting and organizing alternatives the dreams of fintech. The editors welcome short proposals (250-300 words) for contributions interrogating the intersections of (1) emergent digital frameworks of power; (2) debt regimes, new and old; and (3) the collective resistance of social movements. We are particularly interested in critical examinations of interventions with the following themes: ? Social media scoring and credit-worthiness ? The end of the cryptodream? ? Algorithmic discipline - real and virtual ? ?Third World debts? in a digital age ? Racialized subjects of risk ? Subjectivities of default ? Digital currencies from below ? Reparations in a digital context ? Genealogies of digital technology in debt ? Colonial debt/colonial technology ? (Technologies of) mobility and debt ? Social credit and governmental debt/credit systems ? Credit and social power ? Utopian/dystopian credit economies ? Credit and social reproduction ? Credit, belief, faith ? Tax havens and digital offshore ? History of credit ratings ? Migration and debt ? Policy proposals and their dangers ? The temporal debts of extraction Interested contributors should submit proposals by following this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfGGglfMmktB5LjHxx0Ka2-xo5EcSDKlpcY0GvJXbd72_3XRA/viewform?usp=sf_link The publication timeline is as follows: ?

A transformation is an extreme, radical change. The unavoidability of changes is a constant process we have throughout our lives. We may not always be aware of it, and often just spend so much energy avoiding this ?law of nature? that we forget it exists and thrives for stability. (BE) COMING is an exhibition about change, the impossibility of not changing, the perpetual impermanence and the process of becoming. As we become aware of the need to change in our world, in our planet and our lives, it feels necessary to remember that life is a dynamic process. Life is a consistent process of transformation and adaptation. Art, more than any other human endeavour, is a reflection of this aspect of life and therefore the best way to remember the process of being something different, something else, something more, or something less, while becoming ourselves.

Research and Possibility Beyond Communication Studies SFU Harbour Centre Campus, Vancouver, BC 14 May 2020 Located at the intersection of a number of academic fields and engaging with concepts and phenomena that affect our perception of the world and our daily lives, communication studies is well-positioned to generate invigorating debate, out-of-the-box research, and anti-status-quo critique. In a context in which digital technology casts a shadow on democracy, transnational capital?s power grows exponentially, and the voices of citizen-activists become fainter as algorithms gain agency, how might we conceive of creative and critical research as an agent of possibility? Taking stock of contemporary social, political, economic, and environmental conditions, it is easy to get the impression that we are riding a collective train that is gathering speed en route to a dead end. What alternative possibilities can communication scholars produce, highlight, and call for through research? Drawing on the interdisciplinary potential of communication studies, the 2020 SFU School of Communication Graduate Caucus Conference aims to generate conversation by highlighting the ways in which graduate-level research can address, challenge, and rethink the issues and stakes of our times. Twenty years into the new millennium, we ask graduate students in communication studies and associated disciplines: How might we conceive of research as a motor of possibility, or, vice-versa, of possibility as a motor of research? Through this conference, we hope to create a space conducive to cross-disciplinary dialogue, engaged critique, creative proposals, and provocative re-imaginings from graduate students across Canada. The organizing team encourages graduate students not only at the School of Communication but also from outside of the department to participate in this annual event. We are now accepting proposals for papers (presentations), panels, workshops and roundtables that examine the following keywords (but not limited to): * Communication studies * Research * Possibility * Creativity * Critique * Imagination * Alternatives * Creative methodologies * Interdisciplinarity * Pedagogy and communication Please submit a 250-word abstract, exclusive of references, for 15-minute paper presentations, presentation of in-progress research (MA/PhD), GCMA capstone projects, term papers, and participatory presentation formats to sfucmnsgradconference2020 at gmail.com no later than March 15, 2020 (PST 11:59 PM). We are pleased to announce that we just confirmed a fantastic keynote speaker, Margret Grebowicz, a feminist environmental philosopher, is coming to our event. We look forward to your many interests. Margret Grebowicz explores the cultural aspects of environmental problems and solutions in her writing and public speaking. She is the author of Whale Song, The National Park to Come, Why Internet Porn Matters, Beyond the Cyborg: Adventures with Donna Haraway, and numerous academic articles on topics in animal studies, science and technology studies, and feminist environmental ethics. Her recent essays, in venues like The Atlantic and The Philosophical Salon, cover topics from the Himalaya and Chernobyl to interactive dog feeders and artificial insemination of bees. She has worked as a professional jazz vocalist in New York City and as a philosophy professor at the University of Houston-Downtown, Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, and the University of Tyumen, Russia. She lives on a windy hilltop in northwest upstate New York, where she delights in the weak WiFi. Her book in progress, Mountains and Desire, will be published by Repeater in 2020. ** The guest lecture is open to the public (Time and Location - TBA).

Best, Kathryn, Network Liaison www.massculture.ca *** *What is Mass One?* Le fran?ais ? suivre Mass Culture started in 2017 as a conversation on culture, research and policy dreamt up by a group of arts enthusiasts. In just three years, hundreds more conversations have taken place across the country, inviting people from all sides of the sector to gather and address the research provocations that matter most to them. It is now time to celebrate how much the network has grown and learnt. Mass Culture, in partnership with the Creative Communities in Collaboration research lab at Ryerson University, invites you to its inaugural conference, Mass One: Festival of Arts Research on May 28th and 29th, 2020 at Ryerson University, Toronto. Join us for the Opening Night for a free conversation and reception on Art & Space, sponsored by the City of Toronto; and book your place for the Festival Day to exchange knowledge and know-how with 100 arts leaders, researchers and policy-makers dedicated to build a thriving and innovative Canadian arts sector. OPENING NIGHT: LONG CONVERSATION & SOCIAL EVENT ON ART + SPACE May 28, 6.30-9pm, Downtown Toronto Free Mass One launches on the evening of May 28th with a Long Conversation on Art + Space. This is a free event, sponsored by the City of Toronto. True to Mass Culture?s beginnings of 100+ one-on-one meetings, this Long Conversation format ? first developed by the Artangel Longplayer project in 2009 ? is a relay of two-person dialogues around a central theme for a set period of time, followed by a reception to continue the lively conversation. Space is limited, so make sure to RSVP! FESTIVAL DAY: RESEARCH IN THE MAKING BY, FOR & WITH ARTS INSTIGATORS May 29, 9am-5pm, The Catalyst at Ryerson University $45 - $125 (plus tax) In partnership with Ryerson University, Mass Culture has embarked on a research study to look at arts service organizations and the instigative role they play in deepening the capacity of the arts sector. Based on this project and Mass Culture?s nationwide Gatherings, three research pathways will be explored throughout the day to chart our collective learning journey towards the future of the Canadian arts sector. For this inaugural national convening, the three pathways will be: Future of Work in the Arts, curated by Jeanne LeSage | Unlocking Data, curated by Fr?d?ric Julien | Arts & Civic Impact, curated by Christina Loewen. In addition to the three pathways, a series of interactive rooms will offer time and space to reflect, share, conspire and investigate further. Artist-researcher Dylan Robinson will punctuate the day with invitations to listen, reflect and share. Bring your own knowledge and curiosity to this marketplace of arts research, where we?ll trade knowledge and know-how, grow a stronger network of practitioners, researchers and policy-makers and dream up innovative collaborative projects.

Big tech companies require an exponential amount of energy to power and cool down their data centers, and are now creating partnerships with big oil companies to optimize their extractive practices. Not to mention the islands of digital rubbish (Gabbrys, 2011) that are forming in developing countries where pieces of rare metals are retrieved through the decaying junk: "the dump," as architect Rem Koolhaas suggests, "has potential; it attracts scavengers." (Gabbrys, 2011, p.143). But can scavenging save us? Social media has been able to forge solidarity amongst minoritized and marginalized communities like never before. Access to education and resources has exploded with increased internet availability. Not to mention major strides being made in terms of increasing information and media access to d/Deaf and disabled communities. Web archives are flourishing and families are able to connect over long distances easier than ever. But what does it mean that the infrastructures that support these mediatic links will eventually degrade and fade? What is left when the digital decays? Concordia's 2020 Annual Media Studies Association Conference will be dedicated to the theme of "Digital Decay". We invite students, faculty members, artists and community organizers in all fields to consider how our works in the digital humanities are tied up in various ecological anxieties, fading intimacies, societal unrest, and communication failures. As this new decade emerges in a moment of extreme ecological, socio-political, economic, community, and personal crises, what are some ways in which digital media plays a role in fueling fires? Presentations may take the form of: * Short talks (5-8 minutes), * Long talks (15-20 minutes), * Project demonstrations (8-10 minutes), * Workshops (60-90 minutes, with at least one facilitator; may be discussion- or technology-based), * Posters (print or electronic; please be available for at least 45 minutes to present alongside your poster) * Research-creation installations (to be displayed during one day of the conference), or * Performances (time frame is flexible; please include details in your proposal). Potential topics for papers, workshops, and performances may include but are not limited to: * Digital humanities * Digital research ethics * Critical disability studies * Public policy in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) * Speculative narratives and science fiction * Science and technology studies * Posthumanism, cyberfeminism, cyborg studies * Discard studies * Media archeology Submit your 250 word abstract to digitaldecay2020 at gmail.com by March 23rd. **Veuillez noter que l'association accepte ?galement des propositions en fran?ais. Please specify any materials you will need, which presentation format you will be taking and approximate duration. Submissions should be in .doc or .docx format. _____________________________________________________ The conference will be held on April 27 at Concordia University's Milieux Institute. ____________________________________________________ ACCESS STATEMENT The Media Studies Student Association is committed to making Digital Decay radically accessible for all. Our conference is open to the public and is completely free for all contributors and attendees, regardless of whether they're Concordia students. The event will be held at the Milleux Institute for Arts, Culture, and Technology, located on the 11th floor of the EV Building (Visual Arts side). Both the building and the conference space are wheelchair accessible. The area in which the conference will take place is also modular, adaptable, and very spacious, and it includes an accessible, gender neutral bathroom. The event will be catered (breakfast, lunch, and snacks) with vegan and gluten free options. We'll have breaks between each panel, workshop, or presentation in our programming so that participants can move around or partake in the free food and drinks. If you have any access needs that are not covered above, please write to us at digitaldecay2020 at gmail.com. We look forward to exploring the imaginary with you. REFERENCES Gabbrys, J. (2011).

Dedicated to Communication and Socio-Scientific Controversies in Health and Environment The modern promise that science and technology would lead us to an unlimited development has been tensioned by the new technologies of information, the ICTs. The changes in the relationship between experts and citizens show that tension and the socio-scientific controversies in the field of scientific-technological research are now the study objects in scientific-technological, health, and environmental research. It has been more than fifteen years since the World Summit on the Information Society in Geneva in 2003, where the representatives of the member states of United Nations announced the foundation of a society based on the exchange of knowledge, in which the multiplication of the information networks, digital literacy and the promised end of the digital divide would be the definitive factors to defeat poverty and ignorance. The unlucky prophecy predicted something else than broken promises. The ambivalence of the so-called information and knowledge society is clearly shown in the fact that, on the one side, the global horizons grow, communications speed up and more sophisticated technical devices are produced, but on the other, citizens have more tools to question them. We encounter citizens that criticize, resist and actively look for new forms of participation or generation of knowledge when they face the scientific and technological developments that affect them. In a hyper-informed world, in which the once legitimate production of knowledge and the institutional figure of the expert is continuously questioned, (re)generating new and legitimate voices that dispute the formerly exclusive fields of knowledge, it becomes central to ask not only about the access to information but also about its uses for decision-making and in the different forms of citizen participation. The Public Communication of Science and Technology in controversies about scientific-technical developments in health or the environment is a privileged space to observe these disputed fields. The appearance of actors whose legitimacy does not come from the conventional validation mechanisms and the voices of different rationalities in the diverse communicational spaces come together in public debates where it is not only pertinent to question the legitimacy, but also the positioning, the links, and participation of citizens. In this call for papers, the Anuario Electr?nico de Estudios en Comunicaci?n Social ?Disertaciones? looks for original papers dealing with socio-scientific/socio-technological controversies in the fields of health and environment. This refers (not exclusively) to: * Socio-scientific controversies * Public Communication of Science and Technology models * Sustainable development * Social communication health campaigns * Circulation and appropriation of knowledge: non-professional expert citizens * Environmental debates and sacrifice zones * Big development project in protected territories * The voices of experts * Communication and citizen participation The studies about socio-scientific and socio-technological controversies, especially in health and environment, have been great mines for knowledge production, particularly from the perspective of the Social Studies of Science and Technology (STS). However, this line of work has only partially penetrated the field of communication studies, especially in the Latin-American context. The Public Communication of Science and Technology models (deficit, dialogue and participative) have drawn a line in which there is an undoubted need for further digging, especially with empiric research. This volume of the Disertaciones academic journal seeks to help researchers from different disciplines, but with a particular focus in the field of communication, to keep contributing in this direction. Deadline: September 15, 2020.

It?s a campaign to reduce digital inequality during a time of social distancing. We believe that, in response to the #COVID19 pandemic, we all have the responsibility to ensure everyone in our communities can connect to the Internet. Facing the social consequences of the coronavirus outbreak requires acknowledging digital inequality and building bridges to overcome barriers to digital inclusion. While facing this global emergency, Internet access must be conceived as a basic human right, necessary to the quality of life, ? everyone is entitled to access to it. In a state of emergency and self-isolation, we all can do our part to ensure that all individuals and communities, including the most disadvantaged, both in cities and remote areas, have access to the Internet to thrive. While practicing #SocialDistancing, we need to balance this isolation with #DigitalCloseness ? for everyone. This Call to Action aims to accelerate progress towards digital inclusion and foster a coordinated effort across all sectors. Public institutions and public health are de facto, but we believe that the Private Sector, organizations of the Civil Society, and Private Citizens can do more toward reducing digital inequality amid the coronavirus pandemic. Please check it out: http://mediaethics.ca/digitalcloseness/ Hope this can be of interest to you. Stay safe, Paolo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have been admiring the resilience of my colleagues across the country as they adapt their classes to allow students to finish the term. Apologies in advance, as this is a longish message. I generally try to keep it short, but there is a lot of information to share. I am writing today as Congress has recently announced that it will not go ahead with an in-person meeting at Western University. Congress has asked associations to consider whether they would like to do an online conference. Many associations have already opted not to do so. The CCA executive has discussed this option at length and has made the difficult decision not to go ahead with an online version of the conference. This means that CCA 2020 is canceled. As I am sure you will agree, one of the best things about Congress is meeting up with friends and colleagues from across the country, and attending panel sessions and engaging in dialogue with peers, not just at CCA, but also at the other associations that many of us are affiliated with. In addition to attending panel sessions, a benefit of Congress is learning from our amazing keynote speakers, meeting at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and celebrating our annual CRTC Prize, Mahmoud Eid Graduate Prize, Beaverbrook Media Prize, and Gertrude J. Robinson Book Prize winners. We do not believe the benefits of attending and participating in the CCA conference can be replicated online, and the experience is complicated by the virtual option. For these reasons, it is difficult for us to ask our members to pay the Congress fees. If you have already registered for Congress, your registration fees will be refunded 100%. Please request your refund by the Federation deadline of April 30, 2020 by contacting congress at ideas-idees.ca. We realize that many of you will have renewed your CCA membership in anticipation of attending Congress. For those who have renewed between November 15, 2019 and March 31, 2020 we will extend the length of your membership from one year to two years at no extra cost to you. The CCA Board will meet virtually in the coming weeks to develop a plan to move forward. We will try not to flood your email, but we will be in touch with more detail shortly. I want to thank Tanner Mirrlees, the 2020 Conference Chair, for all of the hard work that he has already done to prepare us for Congress 2020. I also want to thank Sandra Smeltzer and Romayne Fullerton, our local area coordinators at Western University along with Lisa Henderson, who helped us to secure an excellent venue for CCA 2020. The cancellation of CCA 2020 is a very difficult and disappointing outcome for all. We had prepared a fantastic four-day conference, with four daily blocks of seven high quality concurrent sessions featuring 375 established and emerging communication and digital media studies researchers from universities across Canada, and internationally as well. The work everyone put into this is much appreciated. We value your membership in CCA and look forward to staying in touch. We hope to see you again at Congress 2021, which will be held at University of Alberta May 29 to June 4, 2021. Please stay safe and healthy.

D?abord, toutes mes excuses pour la longueur de ce message. Je suis g?n?ralement br?ve dans mes communications, mais il y a beaucoup d'informations ? partager. Je vous ?cris aujourd?hui alors que la F?d?ration des sciences humaines du Canada a annonc? le 19 mars qu?elle n?irait pas de l?avant avec un rassemblement en personne ? l?Universit? Western ? London, Ontario. ? la suite de cette annonce, la F?d?ration a demand? aux associations si elles souhaitaient organiser une conf?rence en non pr?sentiel, via des plateformes en ligne. De nombreuses associations ont d?j? choisi de ne pas le faire. Le conseil ex?cutif de l?ACC a longuement discut? de cette option et a pris la difficile d?cision de ne pas aller de l?avant avec un ?v?nement en ligne. Cela signifie que le colloque de l?ACC 2020 est annul?. Je pense que vous partagez comme moi le sentiment que l?un des aspects les plus agr?ables du Congr?s est la possibilit? de rencontrer amis et amies, collaborateurs et collaboratrices et coll?gues de partout au pays, d?assister ? des tables rondes et d?entrer en dialogue avec les coll?gues de la communaut? universitaire, non seulement au sein de l?ACC, mais aussi au contact des autres associations. En plus de la possibilit? de dialoguer au sein et autour des tables rondes, le Congr?s permet de tenir de conf?rences d?honneur, de se r?unir lors de l?Assembl?e g?n?rale annuelle et de c?l?brer les r?cipiendaires de nos prix annuels, celui du CRTC, le prix Mahmoud Eid Graduate Prize, le prix Beaverbrook Media Prize et Gertrude J. Robinson pour le meilleur livre. Nous sommes d?avis que les nombreux avantages de tenir la conf?rence de l'ACC en pr?sentiel ne peuvent pas ?tre reproduits en ligne. Pour ces raisons, il nous est difficile de demander ? nos membres de payer les frais d?inscription au Congr?s. Si vous avez d?j? acquitt? vos frais de participation au Congr?s des sciences humaines du Canada, vos frais d'inscription vous seront rembours?s ? 100%. Veuillez demander votre remboursement avant la date limite de la F?d?ration du 30 avril 2020 en contactant congress at ideas-idees.ca. Nous sommes conscients que plusieurs d?entre vous ont renouvel? leur adh?sion ? l?ACC en pr?vision de leur participation au colloque de cette ann?e. Pour ceux et celles qui ont renouvel? entre le 15 novembre 2019 et le 31 mars 2020, nous prolongerons la dur?e de votre adh?sion d?un an ? deux ans sans frais suppl?mentaires. Le conseil d'administration de l?ACC se r?unira au cours des prochaines semaines afin d??laborer un plan d?action pour la suite. Nous tenterons de ne pas vous submerger de courriels, toutefois nous vous contacterons avec des d?tails suppl?mentaires dans les prochaines semaines. Je tiens ? remercier Tanner Mirrlees, l?organisateur du colloque 2020, pour tout le travail acharn? qu?il a d?j? accompli afin de pr?parer notre ?v?nement annuel. Je tiens ?galement ? remercier Sandra Smeltzer et Romayne Fullerton, nos coordinatrices locales ? la Western University, ainsi que Lisa Henderson, qui a ?galement facilit? la tenue de notre colloque sur le campus. L?annulation du colloque de l?ACC 2020 est une cons?quence difficile et d?cevante de la crise actuelle pour tous et toutes. Nous avions pr?par? un colloque fantastique sur quatre jours, lequel comportait quotidiennement quatre blocs de sept panels concurrents de haute qualit?. Nous attendions 375 chercheurs et chercheuses en communication et en ?tudes des m?dias num?riques de partout au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde. Le travail de ceux et celles qui ont particip? ? son organisation est sinc?rement appr?ci?. Nous appr?cions la confiance que vous accordez ? l?ACC et garderons contact avec vous. Nous esp?rons vous revoir au Congr?s des sciences humaines 2021, qui se tiendra ? l?Universit? de l?Alberta (Calgary) du 29 mai au 4 juin 2021. Je vous remercie de votre compr?hension et esp?re que vous demeurez tous et toutes en sant? et en s?curit?, Mary Francoli Pr?sidente, Association canadienne de communication -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have been admiring the resilience of my colleagues across the country as they adapt their classes to allow students to finish the term. Apologies in advance, as this is a longish message. I generally try to keep it short, but there is a lot of information to share. I am writing today as Congress has recently announced that it will not go ahead with an in-person meeting at Western University. Congress has asked associations to consider whether they would like to do an online conference. Many associations have already opted not to do so. The CCA executive has discussed this option at length and has made the difficult decision not to go ahead with an online version of the conference. This means that CCA 2020 is canceled. As I am sure you will agree, one of the best things about Congress is meeting up with friends and colleagues from across the country, and attending panel sessions and engaging in dialogue with peers, not just at CCA, but also at the other associations that many of us are affiliated with. In addition to attending panel sessions, a benefit of Congress is learning from our amazing keynote speakers, meeting at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and celebrating our annual CRTC Prize, Mahmoud Eid Graduate Prize, Beaverbrook Media Prize, and Gertrude J. Robinson Book Prize winners. We do not believe the benefits of attending and participating in the CCA conference can be replicated online, and the experience is complicated by the virtual option. For these reasons, it is difficult for us to ask our members to pay the Congress fees. If you have already registered for Congress, your registration fees will be refunded 100%. Please request your refund by the Federation deadline of April 30, 2020 by contacting congress at ideas-idees.ca. We realize that many of you will have renewed your CCA membership in anticipation of attending Congress. For those who have renewed between November 15, 2019 and March 31, 2020 we will extend the length of your membership from one year to two years at no extra cost to you. The CCA Board will meet virtually in the coming weeks to develop a plan to move forward. We will try not to flood your email, but we will be in touch with more detail shortly. I want to thank Tanner Mirrlees, the 2020 Conference Chair, for all of the hard work that he has already done to prepare us for Congress 2020. I also want to thank Sandra Smeltzer and Romayne Fullerton, our local area coordinators at Western University along with Lisa Henderson, who helped us to secure an excellent venue for CCA 2020. The cancellation of CCA 2020 is a very difficult and disappointing outcome for all. We had prepared a fantastic four-day conference, with four daily blocks of seven high quality concurrent sessions featuring 375 established and emerging communication and digital media studies researchers from universities across Canada, and internationally as well. The work everyone put into this is much appreciated. We value your membership in CCA and look forward to staying in touch. We hope to see you again at Congress 2021, which will be held at University of Alberta May 29 to June 4, 2021. Please stay safe and healthy.

I appreciate not only the tremendous amount of work that went into prepping the conference, but also the foresight and courage to recognize that it needed to be called off. Will this cause financial problems for CCA? For another organization whose conference I was going to attend (not at Congress), when they cancelled the conference, it represented a huge financial liability. All that to say, if needs be, I'll pay my dues for the next few years now, if it's something CCA needs to continue.

En plus de la possibilit? de dialoguer au sein et autour des tables rondes, le Congr?s permet de tenir de conf?rences d?honneur, de se r?unir lors de l?Assembl?e g?n?rale annuelle et de c?l?brer les r?cipiendaires de nos prix annuels, celui du CRTC, le prix Mahmoud Eid Graduate Prize, le prix Beaverbrook Media Prize et Gertrude J.

I have been admiring the resilience of my colleagues across the country as they adapt their classes to allow students to finish the term. Apologies in advance, as this is a longish message. I generally try to keep it short, but there is a lot of information to share. I am writing today as Congress has recently announced that it will not go ahead with an in-person meeting at Western University. Congress has asked associations to consider whether they would like to do an online conference. Many associations have already opted not to do so. The CCA executive has discussed this option at length and has made the difficult decision not to go ahead with an online version of the conference. This means that CCA 2020 is canceled. As I am sure you will agree, one of the best things about Congress is meeting up with friends and colleagues from across the country, and attending panel sessions and engaging in dialogue with peers, not just at CCA, but also at the other associations that many of us are affiliated with. In addition to attending panel sessions, a benefit of Congress is learning from our amazing keynote speakers, meeting at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and celebrating our annual CRTC Prize, Mahmoud Eid Graduate Prize, Beaverbrook Media Prize, and Gertrude J. Robinson Book Prize winners. We do not believe the benefits of attending and participating in the CCA conference can be replicated online, and the experience is complicated by the virtual option. For these reasons, it is difficult for us to ask our members to pay the Congress fees. If you have already registered for Congress, your registration fees will be refunded 100%. Please request your refund by the Federation deadline of April 30, 2020 by contacting congress at ideas-idees.ca. We realize that many of you will have renewed your CCA membership in anticipation of attending Congress. For those who have renewed between November 15, 2019 and March 31, 2020 we will extend the length of your membership from one year to two years at no extra cost to you. The CCA Board will meet virtually in the coming weeks to develop a plan to move forward. We will try not to flood your email, but we will be in touch with more detail shortly. I want to thank Tanner Mirrlees, the 2020 Conference Chair, for all of the hard work that he has already done to prepare us for Congress 2020. I also want to thank Sandra Smeltzer and Romayne Fullerton, our local area coordinators at Western University along with Lisa Henderson, who helped us to secure an excellent venue for CCA 2020. The cancellation of CCA 2020 is a very difficult and disappointing outcome for all. We had prepared a fantastic four-day conference, with four daily blocks of seven high quality concurrent sessions featuring 375 established and emerging communication and digital media studies researchers from universities across Canada, and internationally as well. The work everyone put into this is much appreciated. We value your membership in CCA and look forward to staying in touch. We hope to see you again at Congress 2021, which will be held at University of Alberta May 29 to June 4, 2021. Please stay safe and healthy.

I?m getting in touch to share a call for chapter proposals with you, for a collection entitled *Critiques of Canada?s Creative Industries*, co-edited by Cheryl Thompson and me. We are saddened to not be able to meet and exchange ideas at Congress this year, but hope to continue to move the conversation forward in our field through this collection. Please see the call below. If the April 9 deadline for submission of an abstract presents a challenge, please get in touch. warmly, Miranda *Call for Chapter Proposals: Critiques of Canada's Creative Industries* Canadian Scholars is considering publishing a volume that will interrogate Canada's creative industries. Canada's media representations often still emphasize narratives of multicultural unity and integration. Using a critical intersectional framework, the editors seek chapter proposals that examine Canada's creative industries, challenging notions of diversity, equity and inclusion in cultural production, cultural participation, and in media representations. In addition to critical race and feminist approaches, chapters that examine sexuality, able-bodiedness, social class, gender, Indigeneity and citizenship in the creative industries are welcome. The editors seek chapters that interrogate the creative fields (broadly defined) and issues related to not only creative individuals but also the creative city, creative economy, creative policy, creative production, notions of space(s) and place(s), labour, arts policy, and/or public sector media. Chapters that examine issues of representation, inclusion/exclusion, traditional and digital cultures, visual and performance arts, local and global cultures are also desired. We also welcome contributions that raise the visibility of creative and economic practices from underrepresented communities.

A Rapid Response Special Issue of Leisure Sciences: An Interdisciplinary Journal Leisure in the time of coronavirus Guest Editors: Brett Lashua, PhD. University College London b.lashua at ucl.ac.uk Corey W. Johnson, Ph.D. University of Waterloo, corey.johnson at uwaterloo.ca Diana C. Parry, Ph.D. University of Waterloo, dcparry at uwaterloo.ca As the world grapples with the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, on almost every news website, across social media, and also in its (many) absences, leisure has taken on new significance in both managing and negotiating a global crisis. Amidst the inconvenience, illness, fear, tragedy and loss from this disease, there is also an opportunity for leisure scholars to generate discussions and to learn, to engage with wider debates about the crucial role of leisure in people?s lives?during this pandemic, and beyond. Abstracts between 250 words are invited by April 6, 2020 for a rapid response special issue that will feature short essays (2000-3000 words maximum) highlighting the significance, urgency, or key debates, of ?leisure in the time of coronavirus.? As of March 25, 2020, BBC News reported: at least a quarter of the world?s population of 7.8 billion is now living under tough restrictions on movement and social contact. From Rwanda to California and New York to New Zealand, the coronavirus has shut down large parts of our planet ? leaving normally heaving streets deserted and towering office blocks empty. And there?s more to come ? about half the US population are believed to be living under stay at home orders and measures are expected in further states. From midnight on Thursday, all South Africans will have to stay at home for a 21-day period. This is an extraordinary moment! Most schools and workplaces are closed; indeed, almost all places outside the home ? restaurants, pubs, bars and nightclubs, leisure centres and gyms, arts venues, theatres, museums and galleries ? are not open; most sports events have been cancelled and the upcoming 2020 Olympic Games postponed. Borders are closed, with tourists and travellers ordered to return immediately to their countries of origin. Parks, beaches and monuments are closed too. In view of social distancing rules (e.g., in the UK, U.S., Canada and elsewhere), there is a ban on groups of people meeting in public; citizens have been ordered to ?stay home.? As a consequence, in only a matter of months, this pandemic has raised immediate questions about how our societies are organised and function, and what we value and why. We continue to be curious about the response of leisure scholars in this moment, and the importance (or not) of leisure in this crisis? Faced with difficult questions and radical changes to almost every facet of everyday life, examples abound of the central significance of leisure, e.g., people reacting and adapting to this crisis in creative and extraordinary ways (or perhaps reinvigorating ?older? ideas): balancing work-leisure demands while working-from-home; connecting with family and friends (and strangers) through social media; celebrating communities and neighbourhoods by singing from balconies; fitness sessions from rooftops; birthday parades, or volunteering to help neighbours. Yet, other examples highlight increased friction, e.g., people leaving cities and overcrowding rural areas and parks; the absence of relief for the homeless who cannot ?stay home?; increased domestic violence; risky sex practices; and there are also numerous reports of increased xenophobia around the world such as the heightened racism enacted toward Chinese people. Special Interest Areas: Essays in this special issue might focus on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on leisure and: - ? freedom during a lockdown, - ? work/leisure when working-from-home, - ? volunteering, - ? public spaces, - ? aging and older adults, - ? physical activity, exercise, health, - ? children and young people, - ? social media use, - ? music, arts, theatre, etc. - ? pets, - ? gender, - ? kindness of strangers, - ? humour, - ? tourism and travel, - ? lessons from the history of leisure, - ? families, - ? sports, sport histories, - ? e-sports, gaming, etc. - ? homelessness, - ? sexual violence, - ? changing sex practices, - ? democracy, - ? the environment/green (and blue) spaces, - ? isolation, solitude, - ? inclusion/diversity, - ? racism/xenophobia - ? teaching and learning, - ? higher education. We welcome other topics/foci or commentary about leisure at this time. We ask that writers consider their topic vis-a?-vis (1) relevant examples, e.g., in the news/social media; (2) scholarship that informs or challenges current understandings of the topic; (3) lessons to be learned and taken forward; or (4) personal stories that inform theory or methodology. Key Dates and Deadlines Timeliness is key, with as short of a turnaround as possible. April 6: Abstracts due (250 words) April 10: Authors notified of abstract acceptance. Accepted Authors should expect to review at least one other submission. April 24: Critical Commentaries due. Firm; no extensions. In these turbulent times, please consider your obligations, family, health, etc. May 1: Peer review completed and any requested revisions due within one week. May 8: Revised essays due. Online publication in late May. Submission Instructions Please send abstracts directly to b.lashua at ucl.ac.uk by April 6, 2020. Accepted submissions will be received through Scholar One with all instructions for preparation and submission located at: https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=ulsc20 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
