The laboratory follows on from the Chair of Public Relations and Marketing Communication. Below is the presentation of the scientific program of the research team. If you wish to participate in LabFluens in one way or another, join it, attend upcoming conferences, or simply be informed of the rest of the project, do not hesitate to contact Camille Alloing (alloing.camille at uqam.ca) before the website goes live. The Labfluens team: Camille Alloing, Beno?t Cordelier, Alexandre Coutant, Vincent Fournier, Josianne Millette, Bernard Motulsky, Olivier Turbide and St?phanie Yates. (Sorry for the duplicates and possible redundancy of the information) The Laboratory on Influence and Communication studies communicational practices that allow influence to be exerted in a given context, and thus to generate quantifiable effects or affects, to be a quantifiable, manipulable object, which arouses adhesion (or acceptance), commitment or even mobilization. More specifically, Labfluens aims to develop collective research, productions (reports, analyzes) and scientific events focusing on organizational actions that generate influence: public relations, online communities management, mobilization of ?digital influencers?, astroturfing , lobbying, patronage, advertising, agnotology or press relations. Our research program aims to develop work focusing on the following questions along 3 axes: Axis 1 - The practices of influence: What are the communicational mechanisms of influence? As a communication practice or an action objective of the communications industry, is influence an outcome that can be evaluated? Axis 2 - Professions and influence markets: Which professional practices and skills are associated with influencing communication practices? Which influence markets and which actors (agencies, tools, "influencers", etc.)? Axis 3 - Influence as a concept: What state of the art of current theories on influence in communication sciences? Should we develop them, or even renew them? Au plaisir d'?changer avec vous sur le sujet / Looking forward to discuss it with you !

Novel Research Methods in the Datafied Society Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] OA Book Call for Contributions: Making a Difference! Novel Research Methods in the Datafied Society Background: Sch?fer and Lauriault are critical, theoretical and practice based scholars who do data work within and beyond the academy. While doing so they have experienced the tension between the expectations of traditional forms of scholarly funded research, and doing novel forms of socially relevant empirical work. This rewarding research is engaged, and often involves relationship building with partners from government, the private sector and civil society. This also requires relationship building, time, learning by doing, and knowledge mobilization often at odds with the publish or perish model. They want to hear from others whose research practices actually make a difference in the datafied society. This edited book Making a Difference! Novel Research Methods in the Datafied Society invites scholars, instructors, practitioners and professionals in academia, government, the private sector and civil society who do the same and want to share their critical, participatory and entrepreneurial data work to improve social and material outcomes, and create systems that are fair, accountable and transparent. Making a Difference! also matters in the classroom, especially with students at different stages in their academic and professional life trajectories who seek impactful and meaningful learning opportunities. This is also true in boardrooms, as there is also the call for evidence-informed decision making and for responsible data practices. It has proven difficult for many however to balance the traditional mission of the university and the desire to have a positive impact on society. This is especially the case when doing data work with practitioners, administrators and professionals. Some in the university are adapting and evolving their research practices in unique and interesting ways, others are doing critical research outside the academy, and some are doing both. We want to hear how you address these challenges. Making a Difference! will feature bold ideas from researchers, practitioners, designers, and instructors who have developed collaborative ways of doing critically informed data work. This may include digital methods and analytical approaches to conduct joint projects with government, media, corporations, and civil society partners. This work may be funded by both traditional and novel forms of financial arrangements. This direct engagement with external partners often connects research agendas to address urgent societal needs, which often allows students to incubate new ideas and create new occupations. In addition to reconfiguring relationships with practitioners, entrepreneurially minded scholars have maintained independence while producing rigorous and critical research. These emerging and mutually beneficial approaches to doing critically informed data work increasingly recognize team efforts, transdisciplinary cooperation, and entrepreneurial skills that have made difference. Chapters for this OA book will be between 3000-8000 words and will be organized into the following broad areas: * Theoretically informed applied research; * Methodological approaches to doing engaged and participatory research; * Transdisciplinary and multi-sectoral research projects; * Case studies (may be shorter chapters 3000-4000 words); * Novel pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning (3000-4000 words); * Position statements that identify pressing challenges about doing this type of critically informed data work (could also be shorter chapters 3000-5000 words). The following is a list of potential topic areas: * Action, engaged, and participatory scholarship and research * Entrepreneurial research (as an example see this video) * Socially transformative interdisciplinary collaborations * Multi-sectoral team-based collaborations * Applied basic research and practices from STEAM disciplines, in the humanities, social and/or natural sciences, data science, HCI, etc. * Academic-community knowledge transfer * Co-creation, co-design and forms of public engagement * Citizen science, crowdsourcing, and open data * Engaged pedagogical approaches, community partners in the classroom; multi-purpose assignments, and etc. * Maintaining impartiality, autonomy and research integrity with private funding * Scholars as experts, practitioner, and as academics * Impact measurers, metrics, indicators, and theory of change * Data practices that address equity & inclusion and anti racism, sexism, LGBTQ, ableism, Indigenous issues, labour, etc. * Other issues that arise from AI/ML, data infrastructures, systems, and technologies through these novel forms of conducting research * Suggest an idea! Making a Difference! Will be organized as follows. 1. Theoretical Approaches about doing critically informed transdisciplinary and multi-sectoral data work that challenge traditional humanities and social science scholarship In this section chapters (3000-8000 words) contextualize emergent forms of engaged scholarship through in-depth theoretical reflections about how to transform the academic status quo in terms of research and pedagogy. Here we also imagine chapters that might include methodological and pedagogical approaches. 2. Case Studies about Doing Critically Engaged Data Work Chapters here might be shorter (3000-5000 words) and include one or more case studies that apply theory and describe novel approaches to engaged research, teaching and collaboration. We are particularly interested in contributions that track a project?s societal impact, and that emphasize how challenges to traditional forms of university research have been overcome, including those encountered by those outside the academy working with scholars. 3. Position Papers on Pressing Challenges Chapters here might address practical solutions to the challenges imposed by the transformation of the academy and societal needs for critically engaged data work. Authors would take a position on productive paths forward on topics such as (but not limited to) obtaining funding, ensuring research integrity, awarding recognition, avoiding cooptation, implementing new metrics, creating incentives, conducting open access and open data research, and conceptualizing new roles for researchers and students.

Before we tell you more, we extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to the PaperologyRAG founders, Juliette De Maeyer, Aleksandra Kaminska, Alysse Kushinski, and Ghislain Thibault. For more information about last year?s PaperologyRAG, please visit www.artefactlab.ca/paperology. We have an exciting year ahead of us! The objective for this group is to engage with the emerging research and growing literature on paper as material and discuss paper in light of its ability to capture our imagination, engage our senses, and remain a beacon of continuity in our lives. The PaperologyRAG will be engaging with paper as material through a variety of media that consider how paper is used and the practices it affords. This includes thinking through an assortment of paper-based artefacts with texts from various disciplines and creative practices. For PaperologyRAG 2.0 we offer the following questions: How has humanity interacted with paper? Is paper in our future? How has paper in its various permutations given rise to specific things, systems, and cultures, including certain formats and genres (e.g. love letters, index cards, cookbooks, photographs, paper ephemera, codebooks, mathematical objects) and activities (e.g. crafting, listening, ripping, folding and tearing, and sewing)? As we move through the articles and media on our mediagraphy which we will be finalizing shortly, questions such as these will serve as signposts to foster a space for exploration, for engaging with novel ways of thinking about paper and for formulating new questions around media, materiality, and the continued role of paper in digital environments. Format & Participation We will meet monthly via Zoom to discuss readings and other information sources organized around themes, which might include: the senses; the environment; sentiment; bureaucracy; craft; propaganda; degradation; ephemera; value; the erotic; aesthetics; gender; or others. The reading list for each month will be a collection of articles, chapters, short works or online media. An indicative mediagraphy will be included on our website (link at the top of this email) in the coming weeks. The PaperologyRAG is an informal, deeply interdisciplinary seminar-style group where we aim to foster an open and collegial discussion around monthly themes/articles/media. We encourage a sustained conversation over the year through ongoing participation each month. However, given that we continue to face some uncertainty (moving back to in-person working/teaching), we understand that attending regularly may not be possible for many. Therefore, we encourage you to read/watch/listen and come prepared to chat, but if you don?t get a chance to prepare, you?re still welcome to participate just by listening in. For those who are interested in engaging with paper through making, activities will be suggested throughout the year, including DIY projects, artist presentations and other activities still being programmed. For more information on programming as it emerges, please visit our website. Please let us know if you would be interested in sharing your making practice or making site with the group. Please Respond We welcome researchers, scholars, writers, artists, archivists, librarians and others from diverse backgrounds. If you are interested in participating, send us a bit of information about yourself (your current affiliation, your general area of research, and why the interest in paper) in roughly 100 words.

Since the Canadian Association for the Performing Arts (CAPACOA) started delving into digital transformation as a means of fostering data re-use in the performing arts, these two questions have kept surfacing. In July 2020, along with Open North, we undertook exploratory activities to seek answers to these and other data governance questions. A year later, we are happy to launch the report ?A Promising Path to Developing Data Governance in the Performing Arts Sector?. This exploratory research can help to inform organizations and individuals within the sector wishing to advance efforts of sectoral data governance, to gain understanding regarding data charters and data principles, as well as to understand perspectives from the performing arts sector regarding open data and data sharing.

Novel Research Methods in the Datafied Society In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Mirko and I are just sending a reminder! Hope you are all well. On Fri, Jul 30, 2021 at 7:08 AM Tracey P. Lauriault > wrote: OA Book Call for Contributions: Making a Difference! Novel Research Methods in the Datafied Society Background: Sch?fer and Lauriault are critical, theoretical and practice based scholars who do data work within and beyond the academy. While doing so they have experienced the tension between the expectations of traditional forms of scholarly funded research, and doing novel forms of socially relevant empirical work. This rewarding research is engaged, and often involves relationship building with partners from government, the private sector and civil society. This also requires relationship building, time, learning by doing, and knowledge mobilization often at odds with the publish or perish model. They want to hear from others whose research practices actually make a difference in the datafied society. This edited book Making a Difference! Novel Research Methods in the Datafied Society invites scholars, instructors, practitioners and professionals in academia, government, the private sector and civil society who do the same and want to share their critical, participatory and entrepreneurial data work to improve social and material outcomes, and create systems that are fair, accountable and transparent. Making a Difference! also matters in the classroom, especially with students at different stages in their academic and professional life trajectories who seek impactful and meaningful learning opportunities. This is also true in boardrooms, as there is also the call for evidence-informed decision making and for responsible data practices. It has proven difficult for many however to balance the traditional mission of the university and the desire to have a positive impact on society. This is especially the case when doing data work with practitioners, administrators and professionals. Some in the university are adapting and evolving their research practices in unique and interesting ways, others are doing critical research outside the academy, and some are doing both. We want to hear how you address these challenges. Making a Difference! will feature bold ideas from researchers, practitioners, designers, and instructors who have developed collaborative ways of doing critically informed data work. This may include digital methods and analytical approaches to conduct joint projects with government, media, corporations, and civil society partners. This work may be funded by both traditional and novel forms of financial arrangements. This direct engagement with external partners often connects research agendas to address urgent societal needs, which often allows students to incubate new ideas and create new occupations. In addition to reconfiguring relationships with practitioners, entrepreneurially minded scholars have maintained independence while producing rigorous and critical research. These emerging and mutually beneficial approaches to doing critically informed data work increasingly recognize team efforts, transdisciplinary cooperation, and entrepreneurial skills that have made difference. Chapters for this OA book will be between 3000-8000 words and will be organized into the following broad areas: * Theoretically informed applied research; * Methodological approaches to doing engaged and participatory research; * Transdisciplinary and multi-sectoral research projects; * Case studies (may be shorter chapters 3000-4000 words); * Novel pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning (3000-4000 words); * Position statements that identify pressing challenges about doing this type of critically informed data work (could also be shorter chapters 3000-5000 words). The following is a list of potential topic areas: * Action, engaged, and participatory scholarship and research * Entrepreneurial research (as an example see this video) * Socially transformative interdisciplinary collaborations * Multi-sectoral team-based collaborations * Applied basic research and practices from STEAM disciplines, in the humanities, social and/or natural sciences, data science, HCI, etc. * Academic-community knowledge transfer * Co-creation, co-design and forms of public engagement * Citizen science, crowdsourcing, and open data * Engaged pedagogical approaches, community partners in the classroom; multi-purpose assignments, and etc. * Maintaining impartiality, autonomy and research integrity with private funding * Scholars as experts, practitioner, and as academics * Impact measurers, metrics, indicators, and theory of change * Data practices that address equity & inclusion and anti racism, sexism, LGBTQ, ableism, Indigenous issues, labour, etc. * Other issues that arise from AI/ML, data infrastructures, systems, and technologies through these novel forms of conducting research * Suggest an idea! Making a Difference! Will be organized as follows. 1. Theoretical Approaches about doing critically informed transdisciplinary and multi-sectoral data work that challenge traditional humanities and social science scholarship In this section chapters (3000-8000 words) contextualize emergent forms of engaged scholarship through in-depth theoretical reflections about how to transform the academic status quo in terms of research and pedagogy. Here we also imagine chapters that might include methodological and pedagogical approaches. 2. Case Studies about Doing Critically Engaged Data Work Chapters here might be shorter (3000-5000 words) and include one or more case studies that apply theory and describe novel approaches to engaged research, teaching and collaboration. We are particularly interested in contributions that track a project?s societal impact, and that emphasize how challenges to traditional forms of university research have been overcome, including those encountered by those outside the academy working with scholars. 3. Position Papers on Pressing Challenges Chapters here might address practical solutions to the challenges imposed by the transformation of the academy and societal needs for critically engaged data work. Authors would take a position on productive paths forward on topics such as (but not limited to) obtaining funding, ensuring research integrity, awarding recognition, avoiding cooptation, implementing new metrics, creating incentives, conducting open access and open data research, and conceptualizing new roles for researchers and students.

Please email submissions to submissions at mediafieldsjournal.org by September 17, 2021. You can review our submission guidelines at mediafieldsjournal.org. -- Call for Submissions Modularity and Modification Media Fields: Critical Explorations of Media in Space, Issue 17 To move, media must be flexible. Think, for instance, of the remarkably consistent form of the upscale multiplex that has made a home for global blockbuster cinema in China, Mexico, India, Belgium, and Canada alike. Or consider the efforts of communities who have had to salvage, appropriate, and alter telecommunications infrastructure?developing their own technical expertise in the process?in an effort to bring internet connectivity to remote areas neglected by corporate service providers. While distinct, these examples each raise the question of how media flexibility is underpinned by the tension between modularity and modification. Modularity involves the repetition, standardization, and recombination of existing forms: exhibitors use the standard form of the multiplex to signify the ?world-class? status of their up-to-date cinemas, while amateur technicians rely on widely used antennas, wires, and protocols to plug into existing internet infrastructure. Conversely, modification calls on the ability to adapt given materials (including technologies, practices, ideas, and senses of self) to prevailing conditions: theatre chains grapple with issues of urban development, audiences, and taste cultures as they develop new sites in new locales, while communities adapt technology to the resources they have, the landscapes they inhabit, and the histories they share to make their projects work. In these and other examples, media forge the channels along which modular elements can be disseminated and within which opportunities for modification take root. Considering these concepts as an entry point for the study of media in space immediately conjures associations with Michel de Certeau?s opposition between strategy and tactics. If modularity offers the opportunity to expand the ?proper place? of the powerful and extend the imposed terrain on which the subjected must move, modification suggests the potential to rework that terrain along tactical lines. The modularity of communication infrastructures and media forms might suggest narratives of spatial and temporal compression and, in turn, buttress colonial narratives that render distant, foreign spaces more legible, accessible, or profitable for powerful interests. Conversely, the modification of modular media genres, formats, technologies, and environments evokes profuse examples of narratives of localized or regionalized difference, adaptation, resistance, and even refusal. Such associations between modularity, modification, power, and resistance do not hold seamlessly, and are useful only to the extent that they are contextualized and questioned. Media scholarship that engages in this work does not necessarily dispense with familiar associations with these concepts but expose the frictions and counternarratives that arise out of close, critical analysis. Reconsidering these associations raises questions including: What are productive ways of conceptualizing modification without fetishizing neoliberal concepts of ingenuity that displace the responsibilities of media institutions and telecommunications services onto individuals? How might we understand corporate modularity as involving forms of differentiation that enable flows of capital and hegemony? Where can we see the activities of user or audience modification being channeled or controlled by powerful interests? In what ways does modularity emerge from individuals, social groups, and communities rather than being imposed on them? Can we uncover or recover cases that subvert binaries associating modularity with the homogenous, the corporate, and the global and modification with the heterogenous, the individual, and the local? The Media Fields Editorial Collective in the Department of Film and Media at the University of California, Santa Barbara seeks papers that interrogate the imbrication of modularity and modification in spatial practices and imaginaries and put forward thought-provoking examples of how they might be operationalized in the service of today?s media scholarship. Potential paper topics include, but are not limited to: * Technological standards and standardization * Circulating genres and formats * Digital ?modding? * Film and television ?packaging? * Franchises, sequels, spinoffs, ripoffs, and reboots * Platform systems and their users * Communication infrastructures and their nodes -- Mary Michael and Charlotte Orzel Issue Co-Editors Media Fields Journal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Media are central to the cultural industries, also known as the creative industries. Cultural industry scholars are turning their attention to the growing cultural influence of the technology sector. Tensions and collaboration between tech giants and the traditional cultural sector is reshaping these industries and the cultural content they produce. This has implications for cultural creators, for citizens, and for culture. How are citizens impacted and how do policy makers at all levels respond? How do platform politics influence which stories get told and which ones get ignored? What happens when cultural texts are reframed as 'content'?

Critical reflections on the role of memory between heritage, archives, media and social justice. For so long, Brazil has been known as the country of the future. The past was not perceived as a foreign land, but as a forgettable one. It seems to be only the path to the present, which, by its turn, is driven to the becoming. This mentality also collaborated to a popular saying that we are a country "without memory". We should put both affirmatives in perspective, mainly because of our tough current days, which are revealing a range of dealings with a deep crisis, that embraces past, present, and future in Brazilian society. That is why in this talk, we intend to address some theoretical and methodological considerations, doing an overview of the Memory Studies in Brazil from a historical perspective to the current state of the art of this field. We will also discuss some findings of our research based on the relation with memory and topics such as nostalgia, cinemagoing practices, creative economy, and social communication.

As it has shifted and changed over time, so too have the fan audiences that have guided the multifaceted experiences of the show. This section ranges from early media studies? work on Doctor Who?s fans and followers through to new work on the contemporary fan ?blogosphere? represented by types of ?social media entertainment? such as podcasting and YouTubing. However, there has been far, far more work on fan activities and interpretations over the years than on what John Tulloch calls Doctor Who?s ?coalition? audience -- i.e. more casual and uncommitted, fleeting viewers alongside enduring fans. Therefore this section also includes groundbreaking work on this under-researched or even relatively ?invisible audience?, present in BBC internal reports, perhaps, but rarely seriously studied in scholarship and fan writing alike. It revisits John Tulloch?s influential concept of fandom as a ?powerless elite? in the ?nu Who? era and considers the desires and cultural politics of both female and feminist fans, including recent work on reactions to Jodie Whittaker?s casting as the Doctor. Section II: Doctor Who Fandom in the 21st Century While Doctor Who is often conceptualized as a children?s program, the truth is more complicated: originally produced by the ?drama? department (rather than the ?children?s? department), the show has always had a multi-generational audience. With the modern series? premiere in 2005, the fan generations split: many older fans returned to the show, joining children and young adults who were meeting the Doctor for the first time. Within this generation of fans there's a range of experiences that seem to fall along racial but also geographical lines, and as a whole, they're much more comfortable viewing the show through the lens of identity and politics. In this section, we explore the way that Doctor Who discussion has developed into silos for different generations and identities and highlight changing focuses of concern by the fan audience. Section III: Into the (Transmedia) Vortex: From Dalekmania to Time Lord Victorious Doctor Who isn?t just one text: it?s a television series, but it?s also book series, films, theatrical productions, merchandise, clothing, audio adventures, comics. It?s a transmedia spectacular. In this section, we chart the growth of Doctor Who across media, from early work that focuses on Doctor Who's televisual presence, and then work on the Doctor Who across media, culminating in new work about live adventures (escape rooms, etc.) and the Time Lord Victorious transmedia experience. Section IV: Doctor Who?s Creative Intersections In the history of Doctor Who, many fans went into writing, publishing, and television production, even becoming part of the creative side of things. Even secondary texts like Doctor Who Magazine are spaces fans are being paid professionally to cover their fannish love. There's a discomfort to those crossovers sometimes, with pros intruding on fannish spaces and vice versa. At what point does fan power get so large that it intrudes on the making of the show? How can fans salvage problems of the show's making? For example, fannish spaces helped to bring actors back to feeling positive about their role in Doctor Who, like Christopher Eccleston in 2019 and Caroline John in the 90s who thought everyone hated her until a convention convinced her otherwise. Professional production companies like Big Finish have taken fannish frustrations with some of the worst failings of the show and turned them around, but as fans become professionals, they stop being able to exist in those fannish spaces anymore. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Critical reflections on the role of memory between heritage, archives, media and social justice Speakers: Lucia Santa-Cruz & Talitha Ferraz (ESPM-Rio, Rio de Janeiro) Chairs: D?bora Krischke Leit?o (CELAT) and Maria Juliana Angarita Bohorquez (CELAT) September 24th, 13.00 ? 14.30 (Montreal time, via ZOOM) Registration: https://uqam.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwvce-urzMuGtXvFSSAScltoP5rYC-PkH3b For so long, Brazil has been known as the country of the future. The past was not perceived as a foreign land, but as a forgettable one. It seems to be only the path to the present, which, by its turn, is driven to the becoming. This mentality also collaborated to a popular saying that we are a country "without memory". We should put both affirmatives in perspective, mainly because of our tough current days, which are revealing a range of dealings with a deep crisis, that embraces past, present, and future in Brazilian society. That is why in this talk, we intend to address some theoretical and methodological considerations, doing an overview of the Memory Studies in Brazil from a historical perspective to the current state of the art of this field. We will also discuss some findings of our research based on the relation with memory and topics such as nostalgia, cinemagoing practices, creative economy, and social communication. Lucia Santa-Cruz is a Brazilian professor and journalist with a Ph.D. in Communication and Culture. She is a professor at ESPM-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she serves as deputy coordinator of the Professional Master in Management of Creative Economy. Santa-Cruz also teaches undergraduate courses. Leader of the Research Group Lembrar, which studies memory and representation. One of the founders of the Brazilian Memory and Communication Studies Network (Rememora). Member of The International Media and Nostalgia Network (IMNN).

Sunday, Oct. 3 2021 10:30 AM EST; 4:30 PM CET; 10:30 PM CST Message-ID: <6B5066F0-A71A-4F67-A3EA-C52B68170A8A@gmail.com> [?EXTERNAL] FYI apologies for cross-posting We are delighted to invite you to NATURALIZED ENCOUNTERS October 3, 2021, 10:30 AM EST; 4:30 PM CET; 10:30 PM CST Follow the event on Youtube https://artscisalon.com/naturalized-encounters/ Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/385718009752354 [cid:DE27B2F7-D5EC-4934-9C04-F313FE47696A] Naturalization = The ecological phenomenon in which a species, taxon, or population of exotic (as opposed to native) origin integrates into a given ecosystem, becoming capable of reproducing and growing in it, and proceeds to disseminate spontaneously. In some instances, the presence of a species in a given ecosystem is so ancient that it cannot be presupposed whether it is native or introduced. How does adaptation through naturalization occur? What happens to the native population? How does coexistence happen? Our first event will revolve around the Solanum melongena, a plant species in the nightshade family Solanaceae commonly known as the eggplant. This plant (and the many different names it goes by Aubergine, Melanzana, Brinjal, Berenjena, ???????, v?n?t?, ??,???????) uncertain origins, grown worldwide for its edible fruit. Eggplants exist in many shapes, sizes and colors. Our event will be a harvest potluck, with dialogues, storytelling, and exchanges about and beyond food. Our guests will engage in creative interventions to reflect on the many ways food, and food mobility affects all sentient beings, both humans and non-humans; peoples and civilizations; individuals? health and collective traditions. Food is nourishment, care, medicine, and art. Food is political. Food is ultimately about our survival. This is the first of a series of networked meals titled ?FOLLOW THE SPREAD? which will be staged around the world and across time zones throughout Fall 2021-Spring 2022 in Canada (October 3, Spring 2022), Norway (October 7), the Netherlands and Taiwan (Spring 2022). Join us online to meet 10 Canadian artists and scholars as they launch the series in Toronto and engage in a nourishing and inspiring culinary and intellectual feast. Participants (in alphabetical order) Amira Alamary, Antje Budde, Charmaine Lurch, Dave Kemp, Dolores Steinman, Elaine Whittaker, Elizabeth Littlejohn, Gita Hashemi, Nina Czegledy, Roberta Buiani ---------- Bios Antje Budde Antje Budde is a conceptual, queer-feminist, interdisciplinary experimental scholar-artist and an Associate Professor of Theatre Studies, Cultural Communication and Modern Chinese Studies at the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, University of Toronto. Antje has created multi-disciplinary artistic works in Germany, China and Canada and works tri-lingually in German, English and Mandarin. She is the founder of a number of queerly feminist performing art projects including most recently the (DDL)2 or (Digital Dramaturgy Lab)Squared ? a platform for experimental explorations of digital culture, creative labor, integration of arts and science, and technology in performance. She is interested in the intersections of natural sciences, the arts, engineering and computer science. Charmaine Lurch Charmaine Lurch is a multidisciplinary artist whose painting, sculpture, and social engagement reveal the intricacies and complexities of the relationships between us and our environments. Her sculptures, installations, and interventions produce enchantment as she skillfully contends with what is visible and present in conjunction with what remains unsaid or unnoticed. Lurch applies her experience in community arts and education to create inviting entry points into overwhelmingly complex and urgent racial, ecological, and historical reckonings. Lurch?s work contends with both spatiality and temporality, enchanting her subject matter with multiple possibilities for engagement. This can be seen in the interplay between light, wire, and space in her intricate wire sculptures of bees and pollen grains, and in what scholar Tiffany Lethabo King refers to as the ?open edgelessness? of Sycorax. A sensuous dynamism belies the everyday tasks reflected in her charcoal-on-parchment series Being, Belonging and Grace. Lurch?s particular evocations and explorations of space and time invite an analysis of their own, and her work has been engaged with by academics. These include King, who chose Sycorax Gesture, a charcoal illustration for the cover of her book The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studies, in which King discusses Lurch?s work in depth. Scholar Katherine McKittrick both inserted and engaged with Lurch?s work in her latest notable book, Dear Science & Other Stories. Dave Kemp Dave Kemp is a visual artist whose practice looks at the intersections and interactions between art, science and technology: particularly at how these fields shape our perception and understanding of the world. His artworks have been exhibited widely at venues such as at the McIntosh Gallery, The Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Art Gallery of Mississauga, The Ontario Science Centre, York Quay Gallery, Interaccess, Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre, and as part of the Switch video festival in Nenagh, Ireland. His works are also included in the permanent collections of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre and the Canada Council Art Bank. Dolores Steinman Dolores Steinman is a trained pediatrician who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. She is very active in several Art/Science communities locally and internationally. Elaine Whittaker Elaine Whittaker is a canadian visual artist. She considers biology as contemporary art practice. Her artworks are an intersection of art, science, medicine and ecology. Her practice is based principally on installation, and includes sculpture, painting, drawing, and digital imagery, incorporating a range of materials: from the traditional -paint, pigment and wax- to the unconventional -mosquitoes, salt crystals, human cells, and live microorganisms. Elizabeth Littlejohn Elizabeth Littlejohn is a communications professor, human rights activist, photojournalist, and documentary film-maker. She has written for Rabble.ca for the past thirteen years on social movements, sustainable urban planning, and climate change. As a running gun social movement videographer, she has filmed internationally. Her articles, photojournalism, and videos have documented Occupy, Idle No More, and climate change movements, and her photographs have been printed in NOW Magazine, the Toronto Star, and Our Times. Recently Elizabeth Littlejohn has completed ?The City Island?, a feature-length documentary she directed about the razing of homes on the Toronto Islands and the islanders? stewardship of the park system, with the support of the Canada Council. Currently, Elizabeth is developing the Toronto Island Puzzle Tour, an augmented-reality smartphone application with five locales depicting hidden history of the Toronto Island, and funded by the City of Toronto?s Artworx Grant. Gita Hashemi Gita Hashemi works in visual and performance art, digital and net art, and language-based art including live embodied writing, and in publishing. Her transdisciplinary, multi-platform and often site-responsive projects explore historical, trans-border and marginalized narratives and their traces in contemporary contexts. She has received numerous project grants from Canadian arts councils, and won awards from Toronto Community Foundation, Baddeck International New Media Festival, American Ad Federation, and Ontario Association of Art Galleries among others. Hashemi is an Ontario Heritage Trust?s Doris McCarthy Artist in Residence in 2021 with a land-based project. Her work has been exhibited at many international venues including SIGGRAPH, Los Angeles; Center for Book Arts, New York; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; Plug-In, Basel; Casoria Museum of Contemporary Art, Naples; Al Kahf Art Gallery, Bethlehem; Red House Centre for Culture, Sofia; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Yucatan, Merida; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest; Worth Ryder Gallery, Berkeley; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Santa Fe, Argentina; Museum of Movements, Malmo; and JolibaZWO, Berlin among others.

She has exhibited in numerous festivals including Electroshock, France; VI Salon y coloquio internacional de art digital, Havana; New Media Art Festival, Bangkok; Biennale of Electronic Art, Perth; and New Music and Art Festival, Bowling Green and others. Nina Czegledy Toronto based artist, curator, educator, works internationally on collaborative art, science & technology projects.

Please share with your graduate students and recent PhDs. Please do not hesitate to contact Professor Elspeth Brown with any questions about the fellowship (dhn.director at utoronto.ca). ___________________________________________________________ Call for Applications JHI Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship, 2022-2023 Deadline for applications: 30 November 2021 APPLY HERE: https://redcap.utoronto.ca/surveys/?s=9TC7NHM4WR9PFXYC The Jackman Humanities Institute (JHI) at the University of Toronto, in partnership with the Digital Humanities Network, offers a twelve-month Postdoctoral Fellowship in Digital Humanities, with a project that fits the JHI?s annual theme, ?Labour?. The Annual Theme for 2022-2023 is LABOUR >From the labour of childbirth to the travail of making a living, human beings are labouring animals who derive meaning and experience meaninglessness in work. Historically, human creativity has long flourished both through and against labour-saving technologies. In a globalizing and climate-changing world, rising nationalist movements call for the fortification of borders that would stop seasonal flows of labour, while women call for pay equity and harassment-free workplaces to allow for the freedom to work in peace. In a world of increasingly precarious labour, thanks in part to automation, what does the future of work portend for both people and the planet? What forms of resistance are possible when workers face both the irrelevance of their labour and its exploitation? The Digital Humanities Network The Digital Humanities Network builds research and teaching strengths at the University of Toronto through programming, mentorship, and advocacy. We define digital humanities broadly, to include both critical praxis and the analysis of digitality. As of 2020 our primary focus is on critical digital humanities, a version of DH that places anti-racist, decolonial, feminist, and queer/trans/non-binary work at its core, and which understands our current historic shift in digital technology as an opportunity for social and political transformation. At the University of Toronto, Critical Digital Humanities foregrounds creative praxis, co-creation, public engagement, and community-based research. The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow will have an established track record in their own discipline and/or the digital humanities. They will pursue their own research while at UofT, while working to foster the Digital Humanities Network. Responsibilities The JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow will draw upon their disciplinary expertise and upon training provided the JHI, DHN, and UofT Libraries to connect and strengthen DH projects across the tricampus university. Specifically, depending on their own skillset and research interests, the JHI DH Postdoctoral Fellow will spend 15 hours per week as a member of the DHN Executive Team, where they will: * establish and maintain online spaces where members of the DH Network can share information about their research and discuss matters of common interest; * run regular roundtables and workshops on digital humanities topics; * convene a monthly community of practice to support the cohort of the Graduate Fellows in Critical Digital Humanities * organize, facilitate, and participate in other tricampus DH training initiatives; * facilitate introductions and connections between researchers within the DHN; * in consultation with digital librarians, provide one-on-one and group consultancy to humanities researchers seeking to make use of infrastructure for digital scholarship in and beyond UofT; and * participate in planning the future shape and directions of the DHN. While working with the DHN, the Fellow will also be part of the JHI scholarly community and will participate in weekly JHI fellows lunches every Thursday from the beginning of September to the first week of May.

La sant? est d?finie par l?Organisation mondiale de la sant? comme ? un ?tat de bien-?tre physique, mental et social complet et ne consiste pas seulement en une absence de maladie ou d?infirmit? ?. Cela souligne les interactions de toute une s?rie d??l?ments autres que physiologiques pour concourir ? un ? ?tat de bien-?tre physique, mental et social ?. La complexit? se situe alors au niveau de ces interactions, et ce, tant au niveau individuel que collectif, au niveau des organisations que de la soci?t? tout enti?re. Ce rapport de force individuel/collectif de la sant? est particuli?rement manifeste ? l?intersection de deux approches : celle de l?espace public et celle de la sph?re organisationnelle. Gouvernance et citoyennet?, politique et ?conomie, innovation et surveillance, r?le et responsabilit?, autant de domaines o? les sciences de l?information-communication peuvent apporter un ?clairage int?ressant. C?est particuli?rement vrai en situation de crise, telle que celle li?e au coronavirus que nous vivions depuis au moins d?but 2020 et qui va perdurer encore quelques ann?es.
