From mjcatoir1 at gmail.com Mon Oct 3 01:38:50 2022 From: mjcatoir1 at gmail.com (Marie-Julie Catoir-Brisson) Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2022 09:38:50 +0200 Subject: [acc-cca-l] =?utf-8?q?Cycle_de_rencontres_transatlantiques_?= =?utf-8?q?=C2=AB_Les_imaginaires_du_d=C3=A9veloppement_technologiq?= =?utf-8?q?ue_=C2=BB_25_octobre_2022?= Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Cher.e.s coll?gues, C'est avec plaisir que nous vous transmettons le programme de la premi?re rencontre du chantier de recherche ? Les imaginaires du d?veloppement technologique ? qui aura lieu le 25 octobre 2022 de 14h30 ? 16h30 (heure de Paris) au M?diacampus Audencia de Nantes et ? distance. PROGRAMME DE LA PREMI?RE RENCONTRE - ? IMAGINAIRES TECHNOLOGIQUES MARGINAUX OU MARGINALIS?S ? Laurence Allard ? ? Techno-critique, ?co-critique et faire-critique. Trois critiques pour un num?rique d?colonial ? R?sum? - En mobilisant trois perspectives critiques, cette communication mettra en chantier une approche d?coloniale du num?rique. Nous pr?senterons ainsi en trois temps un ensemble de travaux d?veloppant des concepts et des exp?rimentations en faveur, d?une part, de la re-mat?rialisation des discours techno-critiques au sein des situations post-coloniales du continuum extractiviste des minerais aux data ; d?autre part, en ouvrant ? des narrations pour une ?cojustice multisp?cifique ; et enfin, en ?uvrant ? une r?invention du num?rique dans une d?marche de ? contre-faire ? des bo?tes noires ? l?obsolescence programm?e qui peuplent globalement nos vies connect?es. Laurence Allard est Ma?tresse de conf?rences en Sciences de la Communication : chercheuse ? l?Universit? Paris Sorbonne Nouvelle-IRCAV, enseigne ? l?Universit? de Lille, D?partement Etudes Culturelles et M?dias. Elle a r?cemment publi? Ecologies du smartphone avec Alexandre Monnin et Nicolas Nova aux Editions du Bord de l?eau. S?bastien Shulz ? ? Communs num?riques : entre lib?ralisme et communisme informationnel ? R?sum? ? Depuis les ann?es 1990, des technologues ?tudient une forme d?organisation originale se d?veloppant sur Internet qu?ils qualifient de ? communs num?riques ?. Ils d?finissent ces derniers comme des ressources num?riques ouvertes que des communaut?s d?internautes administrent ? travers des gouvernances partag?es. Ces agencements pr?figurent, selon eux, une troisi?me voie transcendant les deux grandes formes d?organisation sociale qui ont domin? le XXe si?cle : la comp?tition horizontale du March? et la hi?rarchie verticale des bureaucratiques, en particulier celles de l??tat. Les commentateurs signalent r?guli?rement la filiation des communs num?riques avec la pens?e anarchiste. Pourtant, depuis le tournant des ann?es 2010, des entrepreneurs bureaucratiques ?laborent des th?ories et des discours pour ? transformer l??tat par les communs num?riques ?. Ces prises de position ont de quoi ?tonner et soul?vent des questions auxquelles nous allons tenter de r?pondre. Comment ces r?formateurs acclimatent-ils des repr?sentations issues du monde de l?Internet militant ? celui, a priori plus aust?re, de la r?forme d??tat ? Plus largement, quels imaginaires de l?action publique v?hiculent leurs discours r?formateurs ? Dans quels courants intellectuel, ancien ou nouveau, s?inscrivent-ils ? Finalement, quel(s) ? ?tat(s) du XXIe si?cle ? pr?figurent-ils ? Cette pr?sentation est issue d?un chapitre de th?se en sociologie pour lequel j?ai r?colt? un vaste mat?riau empirique (35 entretiens) et de litt?rature grise (10 rapports, 3 conf?rences, 3 blogs) pour ?tudier les imaginaires port?s par ceux qui cherchent ? ? transformer l??tat par les communs num?riques ? en France, aux ?tats-Unis, en ?quateur et ? Barcelone (Espagne). S?bastien Shulz est Docteur en sociologie, (Paris-8 et Gustave Eiffel), et Post-doctorant ? l?ANR Collabora (Paris-Nanterre). Chercheur-associ? au Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Sciences Innovations Soci?t?s, il est aussi Coordinateur du groupe Politiques des communs num?riques (Centre Internet & Soci?t? ? CNRS). Il a r?cemment publi? Culture en partage. Guide des plateformes culturelles contributives avec M. Severo et O. Thuillas aux ?ditions FYP. Date : 25 octobre 2022 de 14h30 ? 16h30 (heure de Paris). Lieu : salle 310, site du M?diacampus Audencia, 41 Bd de la Prairie aux Duc, 44200 Nantes.

Montr?al, Canada 20-22 June (in-person) Link IAMHIST-website: Call for Papers: IAMHIST Conference 2023 | Deadline for submissions (20-minute presentations, panels of three 20-minute papers, or practice-based research/workshops): 16 January 2023 IAMHIST is the International Association for Media and History, an organization of scholars, filmmakers, broadcasters and archivists dedicated to historical enquiry into film, radio, TV and other media. Archives have always played a considerable role for research and creation, especially in film and media studies. By virtue of their form and content, archives put at the forefront questions of possible and alternative historiographies and the shaping of memories and invites reflection on forgetting. Ranging from censorship to emancipation, archives are often source and reason for debate, powerplays and struggles as they can be object of censorship, but also ways of emancipation. They are not only sites of memory, but also sites and signs of social and cultural change. There has been an increased scholarly interest in archives since the arrival of digital tools and the Web, and the concept of the archive itself has been questioned, discussed, and redefined. This conference aims to revisit these archival transformations by bringing into focus archives? neglected spots, notably in relation to their accessibility and ecological dimensions. How do existing archival institutions, associations or private collectors and archivists address technology and media transformations? What are the current and future challenges of archival research? What type of ?new? archives can be imagined and created in relation to technology and media transformations? The IAMHIST Conference will be particularly interested in proposals dealing with media archives (film, radio, video, television, Web, photographs, etc.) but also warmly welcomes archives that use media and technology institutionally (museums, associations, vernacular archives etc.). We invite scholars, archivists, practitioners, and artists to send a proposal that concerns one or more of the following topics: * Archives and accessibility * Archives, restitution, and memory * Archives and social justice * Archives and ecology / sustainable archives * Archives and decolonization * Case studies of archival use in media history research * Archives and (media-) storage * Reuse of archives in research, artistic projects, and practice * Archival material in film and arts * Reflections on how to archive research/scholarly activities * Vernacular, private, and institutional archives * History of media archives * Financing and funding of archives * Internationalization of archives * Local and regional archives * Archives, memory, and nostalgia * Archives and emotion The deadline for submissions is 16 January 2023. You can submit proposals here*: iamhistconference2023 at gmail.com Individual paper proposals should consist of a title, an abstract of 200 to 300 words and a short biography. We especially welcome proposals from early career researchers and practitioners. Panel proposals (of three papers) are welcome; they need to be registered by one individual presenter of the panel who must include the title of the panel and all paper abstracts and short bios. We also appreciate proposals for archival, artistic or multimedia/practice-based projects or workshops. You are welcome to discuss their suitability with the conference organizers in advance of the deadline. Notifications of decisions will be sent alongside additional information on travel and accommodation by early February 2023; registration will be open by that day. Registration fees will be kept as low as possible and depend on several funding opportunities that the organizers are currently seeking. Conference attendees are expected to be members of IAMHIST ? there will be an opportunity to join at the time of registration. Information about IAMHIST membership can be found here: http://iamhist.net/membership/. *If you identify as a person with a disability and need support (for printed documents in another format, for American Sign Language or Langue des signes qu?becoise, access to remote locations, etc.), please express/communicate your needs to the organizers prior to the beginning of the congress via this address: iamhistconference2023 at gmail.com Appel ? communication ARCHIVES [du] FUTUR(es) Conf?rence de l?International Association for Media and History Universit? du Qu?bec ?

La prochaine conf?rence biannuelle de l?association se tiendra ? Montr?al, au Canada, du 20 au 22 juin 2023, sur le th?me ARCHIVES [du] FUTUR(es) Les archives ont toujours jou? un r?le important dans les pratiques de recherche et de cr?ation, particuli?rement dans le domaine du cin?ma et des media. Les archives permettent d?explorer des questions portant entre autres sur l?historiographie et ses alternatives et sur la constitution des m?moires, en plus d?initier des r?flexions sur l?oubli, l?entrave ou la disparition. En faisant l?objet de censure et en participant ? des formes d??mancipation, les archives sont au c?ur de d?bats et de luttes. Lieux de m?moire, elles sont aussi lieux et signes de transformations sociales et culturelles. L?int?r?t envers les archives s?est renouvel? depuis le d?veloppement des outils num?riques et du Web qui ont contribu? ? de nouveaux questionnements sur le concept d?archive. Cette conf?rence a pour objectif de prolonger ces questionnements sur les transformations de l?archive et vise plus sp?cifiquement ? interroger les nouveaux enjeux li?s ? l?accessibilit? et ? l??cologie de l?archive. Comment les archives existantes sont-elles affect?es par les transformations technologiques et m?diatiques? Quelles archives ?nouvelles? ces transformations permettent-elles d?imaginer ou de cr?er? Cette conf?rence de l?IAMHIST portera tout particuli?rement sur les archives m?diatiques (cin?ma, radio, vid?o, t?l?vision, Web, photographie) mais ?galement sur leurs usages dans un contexte institutionnel (dans les mus?es, par des associations, dans le cadre d?archives citoyennes ou vernaculaires, etc.). Nous invitions les personnes ?uvrant dans les domaines de la recherche, des archives, des arts et des media ? envoyer des propositions portant sur l?un des sujets suivants : * Archives et accessibilit? * Archives, restitution et m?moire * Archives et justice sociale * Archives et ?cologie / archives durables * Archives et d?colonisation * ?tudes de cas sur l?usage des archives en histoire des m?dias * Archives et stockage * Les archives dans les films et dans les arts * R?utilisation des archives dans des projets de recherche, artistiques ou d?autres pratiques * Le mat?riel d?archives dans le film et les arts * Archives vernaculaires, priv?es et institutionnelles * Histoire des archives m?diatiques * Financement des archives * Internationalisation des archives * Archives locales et r?gionales * Archives, m?moire et nostalgie * Archives et ?motions La date limite pour soumettre les propositions est le 16 janvier 2023 ? l?adresse suivante* : iamhistconference2023 at gmail.com Les communications individuelles doivent inclure un titre, un r?sum? de 200 ? 300 mots et courte biographie. Les propositions de panel (trois communications) sont encourag?es et doivent ?tre pr?sent?es par une seule personne, en incluant le titre du panel ainsi que les r?sum?s des communications et les biographies de toutes les personnes participantes. Nous encourageons ?galement les personnes int?ress?es ? proposer des projets artistiques, archivistiques ou multim?dia ainsi que des ateliers et ? contacter l??quipe d?organisation (iamhistconference2023 at gmail.com) en amont de la date butoir afin de discuter de l?inclusion de ces projets dans le programme de la conf?rence et de leur faisabilit? sur le plan pratique.

However, it often misses an opportunity to engage with politics and related (mis) perceptions about technologies and their socio-political consequences. Our next Misinformation Research Platform Webinar will focus on genomic politics and the future of gene editing. Date: Friday, 28 October 2022 Time: 11 am to 12 pm ET RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/genomic-politics-and-the-future-of-gene-editing-tickets-436443934557 Panel with: Dr. Eben Kirksey, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oxford About the Panelist: Dr. Eben Kirksey is an American anthropologist and storyteller who focuses on issues of science and social justice. Dr. Kirksey is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oxford, where he teaches Medical Anthropology and Human Ecology. He is the author of The Mutant Project, Emergent Ecologies, and Freedom in Entangled Worlds. About the topic: Genome reading and editing are exponentially advancing technologies, putting tools such as next-generation sequencing and CRISPR at the forefront of medical research and practice. The world was stunned in November of 2018. He Jiankui, a scientist from Shenzhen, China, announced the birth of twins Lulu and Nana ? the first children to be born from a genetically-edited embryo. Jiankui had kept his work secret from the international scientific community, which sparked outrage in a community built on collaboration and transparency. He Jiankui was sentenced to prison for violating medical ethics. Jiankui was released from a Chinese prison in 2022 after three years. After relocating to Beijing, Jiankui is now seeking Chinese government funding for a DNA synthesizer. Since then, the outcry over Jiankui?s secrecy has largely been forgotten ? along with the greater concerns about gene editing. Despite the recent lack of attention, the conflicting promises and ethical challenges of gene editing are ever more relevant. Genome editing offers both breathtaking possibilities and terrifying risks, making discussion of genomic politics and its social justice implications critical. Our next speaker is going to do just that. [Graphical user interface, website Description automatically generated] ................................

Accusations of anti-semitism directed at critics of Israeli policy have increased at an alarming rate in recent years, in the form of harassment, intimidation, and efforts to censor scholarship as well as political debate and even academic instruction on Palestine and Palestinian human and political rights, targeting racialized faculty and students as well as Jewish and other allies. I am confident that I share with all members of this list a deep concern about anti-semitism and anti-Jewish hatred as a dangerous and serious problem which all Canadian academics must denounce. But this should not distract us from the alarming ways certain organizations have effectively mobilized to use ?anti-semitism? as a cover to repress all forms of criticism of Israel?s ongoing occupation of Palestine and its rampant human rights abuses.

It is unfortunate to see the group Independent Jewish Voices Canada (IJV) so mischaracterized in the comments below. As a signatory to past public statements issued by the IJV, I cannot restrain myself from addressing a couple of these, if you will indulge me. First, while there is little doubt, to my mind at least, that IJV represents a small minority position among Canadian Jewish organizations, this is hardly evidence that the positions taken by IJV in no way reflect the concerns or views of ?the larger Jewish community.? I dare say, neither Prof. Barber nor I are qualified to make claims about the views of this larger constituency, in the absence of sustained research that would examine, not only the stated opinions of official leaders and members of community and religious organizations, but also the large number of unaffiliated Jews, who now constitute the demographic majority of the Canadian Jewish population. The case has been made by more than one observer that there has been a markedly growing discomfort among many (especially but not only unaffiliated) Jews with regard to positions taken by official Canadian Jewish organizations who publicly defend Israeli policies or criticize the way issues are handled in the media, and enforce a vision of Jewish solidarity that dismisses criticism of Israel as abhorrent and, in Prof. Barber?s words, merely ?fringe." A marked decline in successful fundraising efforts among these official groups might offer some interesting evidence of the popularity of the positions they have taken. The point here, lest we get lost in the weeds about who represents the ?real? Jewish community or what the position the majority support, is that there is a diversity of opinion on many matters, criticism of Israel policies and actions in Palestine being a clear case in point. The conflation of criticism of Israel with antisemitism is an ongoing, and increasingly deployed tactic adopted by a number of Canadian Jewish organizations, and the argument they put forward conforms well with the position articulated by Prof. Barber. The tactic has been used in recent years to put pressure on Western governments, including Canada, to officially adopt the working definition of anti-semitism proposed by the intergovernmental organization, International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) which conflates criticism of Israel and antisemitism on several fronts. In response to this definition, promoted by Canadian organizations such as B?nai Brith Canada, and recently enshrined by the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada (and others now?), the IJV encourages an alternative model for defining and fighting against antisemitism, based on the 2020 Jerusalem Declaration, which has been signed by hundreds of academics and others around the world. We urgently appeal to fellow Canadians, Jewish and non-Jewish, to consider carefully the terms of the Jerusalem Declaration, which insists that it is not necessarily antisemitic to support alternative political solutions to the crisis of Israel/Palestine, or to compare the Israeli treatment of occupied territories with settler colonialism and apartheid, among other contentious positions. Criticism of Israeli political policy, military actions, even support for the BDS movement are not inherently antisemitic. This is not to say that there are no antisemites among critics of Israel. Of course there are and hateful racist attacks on Jews must be challenged and denounced. But all Canadians, Jewish and non-Jewish, should also be alarmed and disconcerted at the success with which the Canadian government has bought into the IHRA definition of antisemitism and the threats that definition poses to legitimate criticism of Israel?s occupation of Palestine, freedom of speech, anti-racist activism, and not least the (very weak but still existing) prospects for future Jewish-Palestinian alliances that might point to some ways forward. As scholars concerned with the power of images and words to shape our world, we all should be concerned about the issues raised on this list over the past day or so. This is not in any way intended to excuse, rationalize, or dismiss concern over recently surfaced tweets from Laith Marouf, although as media experts, we surely know even in this alarming case, it is important to carefully parse the words that were actually used rather than rush to make claims about their meaning or consequence. I offer the remarks above in the spirit of encouraging some badly needed reflection on not just Mr. Marouf?s words, but on the terms that have been used to dismiss the political view he presents. Without this, I humbly submit, I see no way out of this mess.

It's also vile to justify such comments because an angry individual's "spirit is assaulted." This opinion piece in yesterday?s Globe and Mail provides insight: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-public-service-does-not-understand-antisemitism/ The headline for the piece is ?The Public Service Does Not Understand Antisemitism.? I would add that neither do some in academe. I won?t engage in further discussion of this issue in a public forum dedicated to academic issues. If anyone reading this has a thoughtful and civil comment to make, perhaps they could use our private email addresses, not the CCA's. As much as I respect individual members of Independent Jewish Voices and their supporters, including Professor Berland, they're described as a fringe group. In no way do their views reflect those of members of the larger Jewish community. All peoples should be entitled to self-determination, including the Jewish people. Anyone who disputes the right of Israel to exist (the classic definition of Zionism) is engaging in antisemitism, whatever disingenuous rationalizations might be used. Supporting Israel's statehood is, of course, different from criticizing policies of specific Israeli governments. Finally, in case it needs to be spelled out, my opinions are my own. I don't speak for my university.

They are terrible as are all vile racist smears against any people defined by race or religion. I just wish our media and our government would take an equally strong (or even just more balanced) position on the circumstances in the Middle East that inspire such comments. Where is the outrage about the well documented illegal violence being committed every day year after year by the Israeli government against Palestinian journalists, human rights organizations, universities, hospitals, medical staff, refugee camps, homes, students, and civilians? These military attacks have been condemned by many governments (not ours), Amnesty International, and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. I believe we can and should criticize the policies and aggressions of a government whose actions have been deemed war crimes with the same concerns that lead us to criticize the colonizing violence of our own governments or the racist comments of a single angry individual whose spirit is assaulted by the actions described below and the complicit silence of our elected representatives about them. I encourage CCA members to push for a fair and truthful accounting of this tragic state of affairs from our media and from our governments. I have attached the statement calling for a revised policy on Israel and Palestine just released by Jagmeet Singh. It is the first statement by a Canadian politician supporting the rights of Palestinians in line with the policies of The United Nations, Amnesty International, and human rights organizations within both Israel and Palestine. When an MP from Hamilton posted Singh?s statement, he was accused of being antisemitic. The widespread use of anti-racist language to suppress the human rights claims of Palestinians is unfortunately common in our media and our universities. I hope the critique of that strategy will be as instant and energetic. Jody Berland ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sid Shniad > Date: Sat, Aug 27, 2022 at 8:02 PM https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/130518 WAFA -- Palestine News and Information Agency 21/August/2022 Jewish group urges Canadian government to condemn Israeli raids on Palestinian civil society [Jewish group urges Canadian government to condemn Israeli raids on Palestinian civil society] MONTREAL, Sunday, August 21, 2022 (WAFA) ? Independent Jewish Voices Canada has called on the Canadian government to condemn the Israeli raids on the offices of seven civil society organizations in Palestine last week. The raids come ten months after Israeli occupation designated six of these organizations as ?terrorist? groups, although it has failed to provide any substantial evidence to support its claims. ?Israel?s crackdown on these organizations is a blatant anti-democratic attempt to delegitimize and ultimately silence Palestinian civil society,? said IJV Communications and Media spokesperson Rowan Gaudet. ?This motive is made especially clear by the attack on Defense for Children International?Palestine which is investigating the killings of some 37 Palestinian children this year alone.? In July, the foreign ministries of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden jointly investigated Israel?s designation of these organizations as terrorist groups and came to the conclusion that the charges were unsubstantiated. The decision has also been protested by more than twenty Israeli human rights groups and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, among others. In December 2021, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister M?lanie Joly said she was in contact with Yair Lapid, then foreign minister, who she claimed to have asked for ?clarity? on the situation. ?The government has had ample time to seek clarity? continued Gaudet. ?It?s time for Canada to take action. We call on the government to immediately condemn Israel?s attempted shut down of Palestinian groups who are exposing and opposing its well-documented system of apartheid.? ?Just this past June, Justin Trudeau reiterated that Canada and Israel ?are close friends bound together by shared democratic values?,? said Gaudet. ?Does this mean we can expect Canada to shutter the offices of Canadian human rights and Indigenous groups and seize documents they?re using to investigate our government? Or will Canada finally condemn these actions and join with its European allies in rejecting Israel?s claims??

But all Canadians, Jewish and non-Jewish, should also be alarmed and disconcerted at the success with which the Canadian government has bought into the IHRA definition of antisemitism and the threats that definition poses to legitimate criticism of Israel?s occupation of Palestine, freedom of speech, anti-racist activism, and not least the (very weak but still existing) prospects for future Jewish-Palestinian alliances that might point to some ways forward. As scholars concerned with the power of images and words to shape our world, we all should be concerned about the issues raised on this list over the past day or so. This is not in any way intended to excuse, rationalize, or dismiss concern over recently surfaced tweets from Laith Marouf, although as media experts, we surely know even in this alarming case, it is important to carefully parse the words that were actually used rather than rush to make claims about their meaning or consequence. I offer the remarks above in the spirit of encouraging some badly needed reflection on not just Mr. Marouf?s words, but on the terms that have been used to dismiss the political view he presents. Without this, I humbly submit, I see no way out of this mess.

As much as I respect individual members of Independent Jewish Voices and their supporters, including Professor Berland, they're described as a fringe group. In no way do their views reflect those of members of the larger Jewish community. All peoples should be entitled to self-determination, including the Jewish people. Anyone who disputes the right of Israel to exist (the classic definition of Zionism) is engaging in antisemitism, whatever disingenuous rationalizations might be used. Supporting Israel's statehood is, of course, different from criticizing policies of specific Israeli governments. Finally, in case it needs to be spelled out, my opinions are my own. I don't speak for my university.

I just wish our media and our government would take an equally strong (or even just more balanced) position on the circumstances in the Middle East that inspire such comments. Where is the outrage about the well documented illegal violence being committed every day year after year by the Israeli government against Palestinian journalists, human rights organizations, universities, hospitals, medical staff, refugee camps, homes, students, and civilians? These military attacks have been condemned by many governments (not ours), Amnesty International, and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. I believe we can and should criticize the policies and aggressions of a government whose actions have been deemed war crimes with the same concerns that lead us to criticize the colonizing violence of our own governments or the racist comments of a single angry individual whose spirit is assaulted by the actions described below and the complicit silence of our elected representatives about them. I encourage CCA members to push for a fair and truthful accounting of this tragic state of affairs from our media and from our governments. I have attached the statement calling for a revised policy on Israel and Palestine just released by Jagmeet Singh. It is the first statement by a Canadian politician supporting the rights of Palestinians in line with the policies of The United Nations, Amnesty International, and human rights organizations within both Israel and Palestine. When an MP from Hamilton posted Singh?s statement, he was accused of being antisemitic. The widespread use of anti-racist language to suppress the human rights claims of Palestinians is unfortunately common in our media and our universities. I hope the critique of that strategy will be as instant and energetic.

Independent Jewish Voices Canada has called on the Canadian government to condemn the Israeli raids on the offices of seven civil society organizations in Palestine last week. The raids come ten months after Israeli occupation designated six of these organizations as ?terrorist? groups, although it has failed to provide any substantial evidence to support its claims. ?Israel?s crackdown on these organizations is a blatant anti-democratic attempt to delegitimize and ultimately silence Palestinian civil society,? said IJV Communications and Media spokesperson Rowan Gaudet. ?This motive is made especially clear by the attack on Defense for Children International?Palestine which is investigating the killings of some 37 Palestinian children this year alone.? In July, the foreign ministries of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden jointly investigated Israel?s designation of these organizations as terrorist groups and came to the conclusion that the charges were unsubstantiated. The decision has also been protested by more than twenty Israeli human rights groups and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, among others. In December 2021, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister M?lanie Joly said she was in contact with Yair Lapid, then foreign minister, who she claimed to have asked for ?clarity? on the situation. ?The government has had ample time to seek clarity? continued Gaudet. ?It?s time for Canada to take action. We call on the government to immediately condemn Israel?s attempted shut down of Palestinian groups who are exposing and opposing its well-documented system of apartheid.? ?Just this past June, Justin Trudeau reiterated that Canada and Israel ?are close friends bound together by shared democratic values?,? said Gaudet. ?Does this mean we can expect Canada to shutter the offices of Canadian human rights and Indigenous groups and seize documents they?re using to investigate our government? Or will Canada finally condemn these actions and join with its European allies in rejecting Israel?s claims??

We seek to draw attention to the transformative effect that crises past and present have had on film exhibition as a mode of cultural practice, a set of institutions and actors, and an object of research in film and media studies. In this dossier, we hope to investigate the concept of crisis in the study of film exhibition and the crises that have altered cinemagoing practices over time, opening up opportunities to analyze a broad array of historical and cultural impacts in the process. We look forward to publishing new historical and contemporary research related to our theme, considered broadly, and related to geographic regions around the globe. The full call for papers is reproduced below and can be found here in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. We would like to invite association members to submit their research for inclusion in the issue. We would also greatly appreciate it if you would share our with scholars you know who are producing new work in the languages published by Aniki. Our deadline for submissions is January 15, 2023. Founded in May 2013, Aniki is an international and interdisciplinary journal published online twice a year on behalf of the Portuguese Association of Researchers of the Moving Image (AIM). It accepts original manuscripts in Portuguese and English (our issue will also be accepting essays written in Spanish), on cinema as well as television, video, digital cultures, sound, music, and the moving image. Research essays for our issue will undergo double-blind peer review. Alongside these essays, the journal also publishes interviews, book reviews, conference reports, critical reviews of art exhibitions, and reports of international film festivals. Thank you for any help you can provide in circulating this call! Best, Charlotte Orzel (she/her) Doctoral Candidate, Film and Media Studies University of California, Santa Barbara **** The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a generational crisis for film exhibition around the world, as movie theaters have been forced to close their doors temporarily or permanently, alter their modes of presentation and the parameters of the theatrical experience, and otherwise transform their operations. But COVID-19 is certainly not the first crisis in film exhibition, nor the only one that is currently in progress. For the editors of this special section of Aniki, the pandemic has instead drawn attention to the transformative effect that crises past and present have had on film exhibition as a mode of cultural practice, a set of institutions and actors, and an object of research in film and media studies. In this dossier, we investigate the concept of crisis in the study of film exhibition and the crises that have altered cinemagoing practices over time, opening up opportunities to analyze a broad array of historical and cultural impacts in the process. In this, we follow the work of authors like Laura Baker (1999), Phil Hubbard (2003), and Gary D. Rhodes (2011), who have studied risk, danger, vice, and violence at the cinema; in addition to these issues, we hope to illuminate crisis in its philosophical, existential, and disciplinary forms. In soliciting and selecting papers, we seek to develop an international scope on these issues that is truly global, while remaining open to submissions that study cinemagoing from any geographic location. Film exhibition?s death has been declared many times in the hundred and twenty years preceding its most recent existential crisis. In assembling this section, we do not wish to replicate narratives of exhibition?s long decay or inevitable demise; instead, we root our development of this dossier in a consciousness of film exhibition as a longstanding cultural experience that has persisted in part due to its changeability, adaptability, and its modulation of crisis. While the exhibition industry is heterogeneous and its fate is still indeterminate, looking beyond exhibition as a highly systematized commercial practice helps us to expand our understanding of the effects of exhibition?s historical crises. In this, we recognize the work of scholars like Anat Helman (2003), Nicholas Balaisis (2014), Donna De Ville (2015), Solomon Waliaula (2018), and James Burns (2021), who have drawn attention to cinemagoing practices that often take shape outside the traditional movie theater industry or film festival circuit. This framing does not preclude moments of loss, degradation, or failure in particular modes of cinemagoing, but nonetheless allows us to grasp crises as coinciding with moments of transition and adaptation instead of the dead ends so often predicted in popular narratives about theatrical exhibition. This moment of crisis in theatrical exhibition coincides with corresponding crises in film studies and film historiography. The first issue concerns archival access and research. Since the beginning of the pandemic in late 2019, access to global archives has vacillated between impossible and unpredictable. This has had a deleterious and global impact on film historiography and, therefore, the study of theatrical exhibition and moviegoing. In addition, inequities within government and other support of these archives have led to local, regional, and national crises for scholars seeking archival materials. Other crises within the study of film exhibition are evergreen. Recent exhibition research, such as that done by scholars of ?new cinema history,? has made major strides in research on cinemagoing forward within film studies (Maltby, Biltereyst and Meers 2011; 2019). But the continued US- and Eurocentrism of film exhibition research in which the largest number of monographs, edited collections, and peer-reviewed articles are written in English and/or focused on issues related to exhibition or moviegoing in Europe or North America is an issue that requires redress. Work by Luciana Corr?a de Ara?jo (2013), Laura Isabel Serna (2014), Nolwenn Mingant (2015), Lakshmi Srinivas (2016), Laura Fair (2018), and Jasmine Trice (2021) offer compelling examples of the possibilities for global cinema research. Even outside Europe, the United States, and Canada, however, English is still the lingua franca in the large cache of research written on this topic, such as in work from or on Australia, India, and South Africa. Research by Rodrigo Fagundes Bouillet (2020) that brings film exhibition history closer to ethnic-racial relations studies in Brazil, and by Diana Paladino (2018) and Pedro Butcher (2019), on Latin-American histories of film distribution, suggests emerging efforts in this area that we aim to further. With these geographical, linguistic, structural, and other issues in mind, we seek new works from around the world that see an opportunity within our disciplinary and global crises to generate and disseminate new questions, new arguments, and new vistas for research. We also hope to take advantage of the transnational backgrounds of our editors who hail from Brazil, Canada, and the United States and our venue in a multilingual journal to seek new foci and new research written in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. For us, the film exhibition crises of the past, present, and future and the internal crises of archival access and Eurocentrism present opportunities and not just challenges for the creation of new directions and new models of research on film exhibition. We seek new work on moments of crises for specific exhibition venues: - Drive-ins - Repertory and second-run theaters - Arthouse theaters - Microcinema or transitory cinema spaces - Multi- and/or megaplexes - Nickelodeons - Movie palaces - Rural and quotidian moviegoing - Segregated movie houses Or specific movie theater-related issues such as: - Concurrence with other leisure activities - Adaptation to crises (economic, health, social, etc.) - Distributor versus exhibitors? interests - Content availability, theatrical windows - Exhibition technologies - Local films and local theaters - Preservation of materials and/or sites - Adaptation of theatrical spaces to multiple uses - Race, gender, and/or class in cinemagoing practices We welcome any and all soft inquiries about new or ongoing research that might fit our special issue. Mostly, we are seeking a wide variety of scholars and scholarship to help drive new directions and new questions related to film exhibition precisely at the moment when audiences are rediscovering the importance of collective viewing and in which the film and film exhibition industry are charting a path forward. How might this moment encourage us to think broadly about the crises of the past? How might it encourage us to think broadly about the crises of the moment in the way journalists, executives, and other scholars have over the past three years?

Langlois) Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 12:37:27 +0000 Subject: [acc-cca-l] ICA Preconference: Mis/disinformation and the artifices of authenticity and authentication Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Dear Colleagues, The following CFP might be of interest to some of you. ICA 2023 PRE-CONFERENCE Mis/disinformation and the artifices of authenticity and authentication * Date: Wednesday, May 24, 2023. 9:00 - 17:00 * Venue: York University, Toronto * Division affiliation: Communication & Technology Division * Fee: Registration will be free * Call for Abstract deadline: December 20, 2022 Description: The construction of authentic-feeling yet untrue information, content, experiences, and relations is central to successful mis/disinformation campaigns. The most outrageous lies can catalyze opinions, behaviours and actions?as long as they appear authentic in spirit, or come from a place or person that feels authentic. Authenticity is the lever of the mis/disinformation complex: it is cultivated and maintained through investments in mass-personal social networks (Gehl & Lawson, 2022) that articulate together Russian bots and Donald Trump, global conspiracies and one?s mundane chats. They channel interest in the health benefits of oregano oil into paranoia about covert mass chip implants through vaccination campaigns. National and global mis/disinformation networks rearticulate authenticity within local contexts while leveraging social media techniques and content. Such industries of mis/disinformation are linked to violent and subtle forms of erasure, othering, and denial, from the rejection of and attacks against the inauthentic human according to fascist logics (Bratich, 2022), to the deadly denial of basic realities like climate change or the benefits of masking during an air-borne pandemic. Thus the rejection of most values and realities as inauthentic in network cultures fuels cynicism, and motivates shitposting, trolling, and bullshitting. Yet the contradiction of these reactionary postures is that they can only perpetuate the very desire for authenticity that they deny. The industry of mis/disinformation comes in to fill in that breach: it invests in new distributions of the sensible (Ranci?re, 2019) and establishes relations of absolute trust within homophilic networks and communities of the same (Chun, 2021). It also outwardly delegitimizes the suffering of others and inwardly deadens and represses any true sense of empathy towards an Other. After dismantling and reassembling the socio-psychological experience of users in such fashion, the industry of mis/disinformation turns towards justifying and legitimizing fear and hatred by articulating them with other social emotions, formulating explosive cocktails of affective intensities that fill in for the yearning for authenticity. Traditional affective structures are reworked to face threats: fear for oneself, one?s family and one?s future about to be destroyed by enemies near and close. In response to these threats, the networked and physical spaces of encounters with radically different others become the dangerous thing from which to turn away, with many users channelling their affects instead towards nationalistic pride, anger and revenge, blind trust in one?s closed off community, and quasi-religious ecstasy in communing with like-minded people. In summary: fabricated mis/disinformation involves the construction of felt, visceral experiences that are then defined as authentic. Through this, authenticity becomes an artifice with direct affective and emotional impact. Mis/disinformation is not just about troubling notions of truth and facticity to destabilize rational democratic communication, but about the production of performances of authenticity both mundane and spectacular. These performances establish norms and practices of authentication ? how something comes to be perceived as authentic by a receiving party. And these artifices take on multiple forms, from rhetorical performances to the labour of algorithmic recommendations, from CGI to discursive norms. They mobilize proxies; technical, discursive and cultural norms; sociotechnological affordances; bodies; and cognitive and non-cognitive processes. They feed off and ride on affective, cultural and informational dynamics, which they organize through fast responding junctures and disjunctures, linking disparate data points into clusters that then gain greater network visibility and therefore normalization, all the while constantly refashioning themselves to respond to informational flows and cultural and political reactions. For this pre-conference, we seek critical explorations of authenticity and authentication as they relate to digital manipulation and digital artifice. * How is authenticity in turn caught, created, faked, authenticated and managed through digital assemblages? * How is it both constructed as a felt experience, as well as machinized though automated recognition patterns? * If authenticity is key to misinformation, then what kind of interventions can we imagine to question, and undermine such articulation? * What new algorithms of authenticity (Chun 2021) could we imagine and deploy? We are particularly interested in research that examines the fabrication of digitally mediated authentic experiences, be they non-conscious and habitual, or spectacular and deeply meaningful. We are interested in research that explores how objects and persons come to be seen and experienced as authentic and inauthentic, which includes paying attention to how authenticity ? in its affective, emotional, non-conscious and cognitive dimensions ? is constructed via technical affordances, media habits, political rhetoric, mass-personal communication, network rhythms, recommendation algorithms and targeted campaigns. Equally, we are interested in work that critically and creatively challenges the articulation of authenticity with misinformation. We welcome a wide array of methodological approaches ? qualitative, quantitative, speculative, creative, participatory, collaborative and others. We are open to different formats of intervention, from traditional papers to research-creation. We also welcome proposals for short workshops (1 hour length), demonstrations and other modes of collaborative inquiries.

October 24 at the University of Toronto Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Pornography at the Border: Ethnosexual Borderscapes, Gendered Violence, and Embodied control Seminar with Anna Casaglia, University of Trento Discussant: Patrick Keilty, University of Toronto Moderator: Maggie MacDonald, University of Toronto Monday, October 24, 4 to 6 PM Room 520, Faculty of Information, 140 St. George street, Toronto This presentation analyses the pornographic genre of ?border sex?, set on the US-Mexico border and produced in the US, which depicts uneven power relations taking shape at and through the border. It posits an interpretation of these representations that focuses on the use of institutionalized violence as a means of exerting control over female migrants? bodies, reasserting a gendered territorial authority. The presentation places itself in the tradition of popular geopolitics and plugs a gap in this stream of research and literature regarding online pornography and its importance in shaping imaginaries, not only with regard to sexual relations. This work draws on various theoretical traditions and analytical approaches to cover issues related to borders and border crossing from a feminist geopolitical standpoint, with a particular interest in the increasing embodiment of migration control in pornographic popular representations and in the intersection of various forms of inequality at the border. Anna Casaglia is Associate Professor of Political and Economic Geography at the University of Trento. She is interested in bordering processes and migration management, the relationship between conflict and space, the spatial aspects of power relations, and right-wing populism. Organized by the Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology (ICCIT) and the Faculty of Information.

Would be glad to see you there. Our winter Critical Tech Talk will feature Claire Horn, an expert in reproductive tech. Her talk will focus on ectogenesis. Best, m. Please join us for the 4th event in the Critical Tech Talk series of honest talks about innovation. For this hybrid event, we are thrilled to be hosting Professor Batya Friedman, a pioneer of Value Sensitive Design. Shaping Technology with Moral Imagination: Leveraging the Machinery of Value Sensitive Design Tools and technologies do no less than create and structure the conditions in which we live, express ourselves, enact society, and experience what it means to be human. They are also the result of our moral and technical imaginations, which are subjective and often constrained by systems of privilege and power. Value Sensitive Design (VSD) was developed as an approach to address this challenge from within technical design processes. Drawing on over three decades of work, in this interactive talk will provide an introduction to value sensitive design, foregrounding human values in the technical design process. Friday, October 28, 2022, 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. | Followed by a reception Attend online or in person at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) 67 Erb Street West Waterloo, ON N2L 6C2 Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/critical-tech-talk-4-batya-friedman-tickets-418085303397 Speaker Batya Friedman is a Professor in the Information School and holds adjunct appointments in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, the School of Law, and the Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington where she co-founded the Value Sensitive Design Lab and the UW Tech Policy Lab. Value sensitive design, pioneered by Dr. Friedman, has been adopted internationally, and it has been applied in architecture, biomedical health informatics, civil engineering, computer security, energy, global health, human-computer interaction, human-robotic interaction, information management, legal theory, moral philosophy, tech policy, transportation, and urban planning, among other areas. Student Respondents Carl Tutton is undertaking a PhD in Sustainability Management. His background in end-of-life electronic waste policy and management systems, material flow analysis, and long-time interests and hobbies in consumer electronics led to his interest in the beginning of the lifecycle of products, the design phase. His work seeks to analyze successful implementations of, and barriers to, sustainable design changes and more efficient product lifecycles. Sid Heeg is a PhD student in Sustainability Management. Their research focuses on mis/disinformation surrounding farming and farm practices and how to bridge the knowledge gap between urban and rural populations. They are interested in learning how social media algorithms play a role in the continued spread of mis/disinformation and how it impacts sustainable farming practices. Moderator Marcel O?Gorman is a Professor of English, University Research Chair, and Director of the Critical Media Lab. He co-wrote the Tech for Good Declaration and leads several funded research projects on the topic of Responsible Innovation.

We kick things off this Wednesday with ?Quantified Sleep,? with short talks by Anna Nolda Nagele (Queen Mary University of London) & Adam Haar Horowitz (MIT Media Lab). Then, on November 16, we welcome Cressida Heyes (University of Alberta) and Saodat Ismailova (Filmmaker & Artist) to discuss ?The Politics of Sleep? ? info to come. QUANTIFIED SLEEP When & where: Wednesday October 26, 11am-12:30pm ET, on Zoom Registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/440628069417 Description: In an effort to improve our sleep, we?ve turned to digital assistants. But apps that help us in our fall to sleep or that monitor our body?s performance have become problematic companions in our efforts to rest. New technological interfaces are also entering sleep itself, aiming to enhance mechanisms dependent on sleep and dreams, such as memory consolidation or creativity. In this salon, we discuss and question new technologies that read, quantify, and optimize the dormant body.? Anna Nolda Nagele is a design researcher, creative technologist and publisher. She is a PhD Candidate in Media and Arts Technology at Queen Mary University of London, Associate Lecturer in Design Management at the London College of Communication and Founding Editor of The Posthumanist magazine. Her current research analyses the effects and affects of wearable sleep-trackers on user subjectivities, culture and environment through a critical posthumanist lense, using discourse analysis and autoethnography. Website Adam Haar Horowitz work in cognitive science, with a particular focus on sleep and dreams. He is interested in how brain science can expand to interact with art, technology and policy. Adam recently graduated with his PhD from MIT, where he worked on teams building devices for tracking sleep and guiding dream content. These days, Adam is spending time bringing his tools to other labs for guiding dreams and nightmare treatment with the VA, working on neuroscience based prison policy advocacy with the Center for Law, Brain and Behavior, and bridging art and neuroscience in a form that (hopefully) goes beyond ornamental with the MIT Museum Studio.

His passing has left the field with an absence that calls out for remembrance and for scholarly consideration. This one-day, all-plenary preconference will create a space for scholarly exchange on Katz?s life, works, and themes?a forum, in other words, for active, critical engagement with his legacy for the field. The preconference invites presenters to explore, critique, and extend Katz?s contributions to communication scholarship. Some will situate Katz?s legacies in pertinent historical contexts; others will use his work to imagine media futures; still others will consider Katz?s many roles (teacher, institution-builder, broadcast pioneer, mentor). Some lines of inquiry presenters may wish to explore include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * considerations of journalism and the public that draw upon Katz?s configurations of Gabriel Tarde?s ideas * explorations of the promise and limitations of the idea of the media ritual * elaborations upon the idea of the two-step flow of media effects * diffusion processes in varied media and networks * the evolution and contemporary significance of the concept of media events * perspectives on Katz?s ideas that come from disparate subfields in communication, including but not limited to: interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and intercultural communication * philosophical interrogations of Katz?s ideas and research * empirical studies that draw explicitly on Katz?s ideas, for instance cross-cultural readings of American television inspired by the *Export of Meaning* (his co-authored book with Tamar Liebes) * Shifts of emphasis in media studies between content providers and audiences * Katz?s place in the canon of media studies * new ideas concerning the Katzian intersection of mass communication and interpersonal communication * transpositions of Katz?s ideas into new arenas, like human-machine communication and virtual reality * historical scholarship addressing: * Katz?s involvement in broadcasting and mass media, including his role as a creator of Israeli Television * the export of Katz?s ideas to communication and media studies departments around the world * the impact of Katz?s ideas on academic fields and areas of practice outside of communication Abstracts of 400 words (maximum), in Spanish or English, should be submitted no later than 20 December 2022. Draft papers will be pre-circulated in advance of the preconference, with all participants expected to read in advance. Send abstracts to the pre-conference organizers at: legaciesofkatz at gmail.com Presenters will work within a timeline established to ensure that full papers are available for password-protected precirculation a month or more before the preconference, on the expectation that presented and non-presenters attendees read the papers in advance. The benefit of pre-circulation is that the bulk of time devoted to each panel can be given over to discussion among presenters and other attendees. Authors will be informed regarding acceptance/rejection no later than 10 January 2023. The preconference will take place on 25 May 2023, and will be free to all participants, thanks to generous support from the Department of Communication and the Smart Family Institute of Communications at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, and the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Starting in March 2020, COVID-19 pushed newsroom production and reporting courses online or into hybrid online-offline spaces across Canada and around the world. Emerging journalists learned critical skills in environments that necessarily emphasized distance, masking and safeguarding their own and others? safety. Visual storytelling demanded renewed creativity as well as deeper engagement with copyright laws, archived or provided images or footage, and data-driven reporting. At the same time, journalists grappled with the industry?s ?unexamined, power-laden, gendered, racialized, and colonial? roots and structures (Callison and Young 2020, p. 24), pushed to do so after George Floyd was murdered by police in the United States in May 2020 and the limits and failures of doing journalism as it has always been done came into clear focus. This special multimedia issue of Facts and Frictions/Faits et Frictions aims to examine how journalism educators across Canada have and continue to guide students to cover stories in new ways. The objective of this multimedia journal, to be published in Fall 2023, is to ? for the first time ? take on and weigh the continuing effects of pandemic pedagogy in Canadian journalism education. To pool lessons learned and consider opportunities and challenges for the future, we particularly welcome contributions that ponder one or more of the following questions: * How have field reporting and production been taught remotely through a shifting public health crisis? How has the pandemic influenced thinking about the importance or role of the reporter?s body ?on the scene? or ?in the field?? * What lessons were learned in centring accessibility, disability and inclusion in journalism education? * What are the intersections of pandemic pedagogy and reckoning with racism, oppression and colonialism that have emerged in the journalism industry? How are these issues being addressed in journalism schools? * How have lessons focused on data journalism, science journalism and specialized health journalism developed or changed? * How have the demands of gendered, precarious or emotional labour inside and outside of the COVID-19 experiential learning ?classroom? shifted or changed? What is the role of empathy in journalism education? Should empathy play a bigger role in the practice of journalism? * How have journalism educators engaged with students? mental health? How can broader findings regarding journalists? mental health (see Pearson and Seglins 2022) influence (post-) pandemic classroom practices, discussions or reporting assignments? * How has student work on and off campuses changed? What new practices have campus media employed? What are the promises or pitfalls of new international or remote internship or training opportunities? * How has ?I? journalism?testimonials, sharing, questioning aloud?developed through the pandemic? How can critical subjective skills be taught or facilitated in the journalism classroom? * How has the pandemic put a spotlight on the challenges and opportunities of preparing students for newsrooms and journalism careers in the future? What kinds of training demand recovery or re-examination? This special issue is being co-edited by Trish Audette-Longo (Carleton University), Christine Crowther (Carleton University), Nana aba Duncan (Carleton University), Chantal Francoeur (Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al) and Shenaz Kermalli (independent). We invite participation from all journalism educators, including established and emerging scholars and those teaching in precarious or contract positions. Recognizing that a number of factors influence the time and resources available to individual journalist-educators, we invite proposals of 200-500 words (excluding references) for contributions in any one of the three following formats: * original scholarly articles of 5,500-7,000 words that share new journalism education research or theoretical interventions, subject to blind peer review; * original commentary, calls to action, and/or annotated resource lists or syllabi of 1,000-2,000 words that show, explain and reflect on how courses, assignments or lessons were reimagined through the pandemic, subject to blind peer review; * or, a topic for discussion during a theme-based roundtable with other journalism educators via Zoom that will be recorded, transcribed, edited and produced as shareable podcasts and videos. Participants in these sessions will not be expected to prepare a written submission following the roundtable; they will be named as co-authors of transcribed and edited conversations, and identified as co-panelists on the recorded roundtables that will be made available online as podcasts and videos. *The deadline for proposals has been extended to Dec. 15, 2022* Proposals can be submitted by email to forcedchange.changementforce at gmail.com. Invitations to participate in the special journal issue will be emailed in January, 2023 with deadlines for submission in the spring. * The subject line for emailed proposals for scholarly articles should include ?ARTICLE? and take the form of 500-word abstracts that include a research question and reference to conceptual and methodological frameworks. * The subject line for emailed proposals for commentary, calls to action or annotated teaching materials should include ?COMMENTARY? and take the form of 250-word pitches that set out a problem and a proposed or practiced solution. * The subject line for emailed proposals for roundtable discussion should include ?QUESTION? and take the form of a question you would like to address and why. Proposed co-panelists or group submissions are also welcome. If you have any questions about making a submission, please send us a note at forcedchange.changementforce at gmail.com Appel aux propositions *Nouvelle date limite* Changement forc? : P?dagogie de la pand?mie et enseignement du journalisme L'enseignement du journalisme a chang? durant la pand?mie. ? partir de mars 2020, le COVID-19 a pouss? les enseignements sur la production et le reportage en salle de r?daction virtuel ou dans des espaces hybrides en ligne et hors ligne ? travers le Canada et le monde. Les ?tudiants en journalisme ont acquis des comp?tences essentielles dans des environnements qui mettent in?vitablement l'accent sur la distance, le masquage et la protection de leur propre s?curit? et de celle des autres. La narration visuelle a exig? une cr?ativit? renouvel?e ainsi qu'un engagement plus marqu? ? l'?gard des lois sur le droit d'auteur, des images ou des s?quences archiv?es ou fournies, et des reportages ax?s sur les donn?es. Parall?lement, les journalistes se sont attaqu?s aux racines et aux structures ? non examin?es, charg?es de pouvoir, sexu?es, racialis?es et coloniales ? de l'industrie (Callison et Young 2020, p. 24), pouss?s ? le faire apr?s le meurtre de George Floyd par la police aux ?tats-Unis en mai 2020 et la mise en ?vidence des limites et des ?checs du journalisme tel qu'il a toujours ?t? pratiqu?. Ce num?ro sp?cial multim?dia de Facts and Frictions/Faits et Frictions a pour but d'examiner comment les professeurs de journalisme ? travers le Canada ont et continuent de guider les ?tudiants ? couvrir des histoires de fa?on novatrice. L'objectif de cette revue multim?dia, qui sera publi?e ? l'automne 2023, est - pour la premi?re fois - d'assumer et de peser les effets continus de la p?dagogie de la pand?mie dans l'enseignement du journalisme au Canada. Pour mettre en commun les le?ons apprises et envisager les opportunit?s et les d?fis pour l'avenir, nous accueillons particuli?rement les contributions qui r?fl?chissent ? une ou plusieurs des questions suivantes : * Comment le reportage et la production sur le terrain ont-ils ?t? enseign?s ? distance ? travers une crise de sant? publique mouvante ? Comment la pand?mie a-t-elle influenc? la r?flexion sur l'importance ou le r?le du corps du journaliste ? sur les lieux ? ou ? sur le terrain ?? * Quelles le?ons ont pu ?tre tir?es des r?flexions sur, notamment, l'accessibilit?, la d?ficience et l'inclusion dans l'enseignement du journalisme? * Quelles sont les intersections entre la p?dagogie pand?mique et la prise en compte du racisme, de l'oppression et du colonialisme ayant ?merg? dans l'industrie du journalisme? Comment ces questions sont-elles abord?es dans les ?coles de journalisme? * Comment les enseignements ax?s sur le journalisme de donn?es, le journalisme scientifique et le journalisme sp?cialis? dans la sant? se sont-ils d?velopp?s ou ont-ils ?volu?? * Comment les exigences du travail genr?, pr?caire ou ?motionnel ? l'int?rieur et ? l'ext?rieur de la ? classe ? d'apprentissage exp?rientiel dans le cadre du COVID-19 ont-elles ?volu? ou chang? ? Quel est le r?le de l'empathie dans l'enseignement du journalisme? L'empathie devrait-elle jouer un r?le plus important dans la pratique du journalisme? * Comment les enseignants en journalisme se sont-ils engag?s dans la sant? mentale des ?tudiants ? Comment des connaissances plus larges concernant la sant? mentale des journalistes (voir Pearson et Seglins 2022) peuvent-elles influencer les pratiques de formation (post-) pand?mique, les discussions en classe ou les reportages ? r?aliser? * Comment le travail des ?tudiants sur et hors des campus a-t-il chang?? Quelles nouvelles pratiques les m?dias de campus ont-ils employ?es? Quelles sont les perspectives ou les obstacles des nouvelles possibilit?s de stage ou de formation internationales ou ? distance? * Comment le journalisme du " je " - t?moignages, partage, questionnement ? voix haute - s'est-il d?velopp? ? travers la pand?mie? Comment les comp?tences subjectives critiques peuvent-elles ?tre enseign?es ou facilit?es dans la classe de journalisme? * Comment la pand?mie a-t-elle mis en lumi?re les d?fis et les opportunit?s de la pr?paration des ?tudiants aux salles de r?daction et aux carri?res de journalisme ? l'avenir? Quels types de formation exigent une r?vision ou un nouvel examen? Ce num?ro sp?cial est cor?dig? par Trish Audette-Longo (Universit? Carleton), Christine Crowther (Universit? Carleton), Nana aba Duncan (Universit? Carleton), Chantal Francoeur (Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al) et Shenaz Kermalli (ind?pendante). Nous invitons tous les enseignants en journalisme ? participer, y compris les chercheurs ?tablis et ?mergents et ceux qui enseignent dans des postes pr?caires ou contractuels.

URL: From pmccurdy at uottawa.ca Mon Oct 31 08:42:10 2022 From: pmccurdy at uottawa.ca (Patrick McCurdy) Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 14:42:10 +0000 Subject: [acc-cca-l] Accessing CBC archival material, ETHI and the limits of the Information Act In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Hi All I'm writing to share my submission to the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics (ETHI) about the CBC and Information Act in the hopes it may resonate with anyone who has tried to research the CBC or filed a CBC ATI. TLDR, the Information Act (esp section 68.1) allows the CBC to sit on production and show information forever and is never bound to release it to the Canadian public. As you can imagine, this is problematic for those seeking to study CBC's history. As the ETHI is currently looking into the obstacles and limits of the Information Act, I have written a brief through the lens of my research into the 1977 docudrama The Tar Sands (articles and a documentary) and highlight the obstacles of the Information Act and CBC's application of it. I have filed ATIs with the CBC since 2017 and met heavy resistance in my requests for simple, and in my mind benign, things such as internal policy documents from the late 1970s. I firmly believe these documents should find their way into the public record and try to make this case in my brief. For interested parties, I have pasted my brief as text below but can share the proper submission and the accompanying appendices if you get in touch. Moreover, please feel free to submit your own brief or even a letter of support which would tell the ETHI that I'm not the only researcher facing this issue. I'm happy to provide more context off-list but the below brief should provide enough context to work on. Cheers -Patrick === October 31, 2022 RE: Brief Submitted to the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics (ETHI) by Professor Patrick McCurdy, Associate Professor, Department of Communication, University of Ottawa Dear ETHI, The purpose of this brief is to address the affordances given to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) under Section 68.1 of the Access to Information Act, highlight the challenges and obstacles 68.1 presents for both researchers and Canadians interested in CBC's history, and offer some potential remedies and recommendations for the ETHI to consider. This brief is written based on my experience as an academic who has filed several CBC ATIs since early 2017. While I primarily discuss 68.1, my objective is to improve the overall transparency of documents held and released by CBC. In my experience, CBC often uses 68.1 in tandem with additional exclusions such as 18(b) and (d), which guard the CBC's financial and competitive as further justification for withholding documents. Consequently, providing Canadians with more and better access to CBC documents requires amendments beyond just a change to 68.1 but include other commonly invoked sections, all of which could be subject to a sunset clause. As you are aware, Section 68.1 of the Access to Information Act excludes information relating to the CBC's journalistic, creative, and programming activities. While CBC's immediate protection under the Act makes sense, there is an issue concerning the historical importance of the CBC and the value its documents have to researchers and the broader Canadian public. I understand that the original intention and spirit of 68.1 was to safeguard the CBC's independence and freedom of expression as a public broadcaster by withholding information that could be used to exert political, economic or private influence. Indeed, it is paramount that CBC remains capable of upholding its independence and freedom of expression. A significant challenge with 68.1 and other sections of the Act frequently used by CBC is that the exclusion allows for historically and culturally significant material to stay shrouded under 68.1 in perpetuity. However, given CBC's historically significant and ongoing important role in Canadian culture, the exemption under 68.1 and/or related clauses commonly invoked by the CBC should be modified and ultimately be subject to a sunset clause. While there is certainly a case that some extremely sensitive information held by CBC, such as journalistic sources, should never be made public, the general spirit of 68.1 should be changed so that most of the information currently exempt is eventually made public. The need to change how and what CBC is required to disclose under the Information Act is perhaps best illustrated with some examples. Throughout the rest of this document, I will refer to various CBC ATIs I have conducted and provide the corresponding ATI number. I have purposely limited the brief to referencing select ATI request numbers, documentation, and correspondence. I can provide additional documentation for any of the submissions mentioned in this brief should the ETHI wish. Since 2016 I have been researching a banned 45-year-old CBC docudrama called The Tar Sands (1977) and in 2018 won an SSHRC Insight Grant to fund my research (IG Number: 435-2018-1019). Thus far, project outputs have involved two academic articles and a short documentary film featuring interviews with many involved in the show's airing and subsequent legal case[1]. Since starting this project, I have filed at least 7 CBC ATIs seeking production information, scripts, legal documents and anything else they could provide about the show (e.g. CBC ATI: A-2016-00022, A-2016-00099, A-2019-00029, A-2019-00087, A-2019-00121, A-2019-00128, A-2020-00013). With each request, CBC has withheld crucial information under 68.1. For example, the CBC refused to disclose the television script of The Tar Sands. In email correspondence dated February 20, 2017, between CBC's Vice-President of Legal Services Sylvie Gadoury and me, Gadoury argued that this now four-decade-old document must be protected under 68.1 to allow the CBC "to remain competitive in a constantly changing broadcasting market". I have included her full reply in this brief (see Appendix 1). As a workaround, I offered to travel to Toronto to view the requested documents in confidentially but this request was denied in subsequent CBC communication. If CBC is indeed relying on guarding 45-year-old TV scripts for its success, as Gadoury suggests, then it is in greater trouble than I thought. I eventually managed to track down a version of The Tar Sands' script from both the Alberta Provincial Archives and the Library Archives Canada fonds of the film's director Peter Pearson. While I am grateful to have obtained the script from outside the CBC, it is precisely this type of document that should be made public. The airing of The Tar Sands and the subsequent lawsuit filed by Albertan Premier Peter Lougheed was an important moment in CBC history; however, with the current state of the Information Act, CBC is within its rights to continue refusing to disclose documents in perpetuity. During my research on The Tar Sands, it became clear that the program had a significant, though undocumented, impact on CBC's television drama and docudrama policies. As a scholar interested in public broadcasting and aware of the scandal caused by The Tar Sands, I sought to examine how internal discussion at the CBC and its policy around drama and docudrama evolved from the 1970s to the 1980s. However, in attempting to access information to answer this research question, the CBC again invoked 68.1 along with 18(b) and 20(1)(b) to protect decades-old documents which have historical relevance to scholars interested in Canadian broadcasting. Some examples of material withheld include a March 1978 position paper called "Towards a policy on documentary drama" (CBC ATI A-2020-00014, page A0075105_9-000041 to page A0075105_9-000085, see Appendix 2). While CBC released a folder called "Documentary Dramas, guidelines, policy November 19 1980 to November 30 1991" it censored much of the pertinent information citing 18(b) and 68.1 (CBC ATI A-2020-00013, page A0075127_1-000122 to page A0075127_1-000126, see Appendix 3). Meanwhile, a 1977 memo about how Knowlton Nash viewed documentary drama was redacted except for Mr. Nash's signature (CBC ATI A-2020-00013, page A0075127_8-000129 to page A0075127_8-0001309, See Appendix 4). These are just three examples of many that would provide valuable context to my research project. Beyond the limited scope of my research, these decades-old documents have public value by providing a window into how the CBC has thought about and debated policy and how this has evolved over time. Important lessons may be gleaned from the critical analysis of such discussions, yet with the Information Act's current configuration, access to such internal documents may never be granted. CBC's persistent refusal to release decades-old documents raises the question of when, if ever, do documents transition from a contemporary issue where the CBC's interest should rightly be protected to a matter of public interest and Canadian history? This question is even more critical given CBC's mandate, as articulated in the 1991 Broadcasting Act, to contribute to a shared national consciousness and identity and actively contribute to the flow and exchange of cultural expression. I would argue that CBC achieves this not just in its program output but in how it makes its programming and the corresponding policy environment. As such, and as an entirely publicly funded institution, CBC's archival material is of interest and value to Canadians. As a media scholar with a research-active interest in Canadian media history, the process and decisions regarding how programs are made, shelved, and modified are as significant as the final program sent to air. These decisions, as captured in the internal documents held by CBC, reflect how those within and outside of the CBC view the corporation and its evolving place in Canadian society. However, the current blanket affordances granted to the CBC under the Information Act actively obstruct anyone outside the publicly funded media organization, including academics, historians and researchers, from effectively studying the CBC. While this brief has thus far focused on ATIs filed on The Tar Sands, I have filed requests about other CBC programs and issues at CBC, and it is worth briefly sharing these experiences. For example, in September 2020, I filed an ATI asking for any documentation, such as scripts and production notes pertaining to the first four episodes in season 1 of The Beachcombers, including the 1971 unaired pilot episode (A-2020-00068). Perhaps unsurprisingly, CBC withheld much of my request under 68.1. While this ATI could seem silly or superficial, production notes and scripts could hold interesting facts about the production of a classic Canadian TV show. Yet the fifty-one-year-old script from The Beachcombers is currently afforded protection usually reserved for the most sensitive of state secrets Not only does CBC broadcast important events, but the story of how these events happen is a matter of cultural and historical significance that should eventually find its way into the public record. Focusing on more recent events, I filed an ATI in the fall of 2016 on the August 20, 2016, final concert of The Tragically Hip (A-2016-00056). The show was simulcast live on radio and television to an estimated audience of 11.7 million people, close to one-third of the country, making it a media event of significant Canadian historical interest. While CBC released some documents, much was withheld under 68.1 and other sections of the Information Act. While a case could be made that the event is still relatively recent, the fact remains that documents detailing how this significant event came about, was put together and successfully pulled off will never be required to enter the public record. Instead, it is protected in perpetuity under the Information Act's current configuration. My last example revolves around how CBC managed to keep operating during the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-March 2020, CBC suspended local television news programming, much to the ire of many Canadians who relied on their local television broadcast in the context of a global health crisis with local consequences. After a significant amount of public pushback, CBC reversed its decision and made further changes to its programming, including dropping the CBC News Network paywall. Following these events closely, I field two ATIs seeking documentation about local television news programming and CBC News Network (ATI A-2020-00020, A-2020-00023). While CBC released some information, it withheld other material under the Information Act. While I appreciate this is an evolving story and that CBC currently faces amplified political and financial pressures, given its vital role as a public broadcaster during the pandemic, these important decisions should eventually become part of the public record, especially when historians seek to look back and better understand the pandemic and strange times we are living through. I would ask the ETHI to develop a remedy that, while protecting the short-term interests of the CBC within the original spirit of the Act, also ensures eventual public access to documents. While the ETHI must determine the exact appropriate amount of time for documents to be released, one reference point could be the time limit placed on Cabinet confidences. Based on my understanding, Cabinet confidences are currently privileged for 20 years, at which point documents are no longer ATI-exempt. Perhaps it is reasonable to place the bar for old CBC docudrama policies or dusty scripts from The Beachcombers on par, or maybe even lower than Cabinet confidences? This question is well worth considering. In conclusion, my brief has sought to make explicit the challenges and barriers researchers attempting to study the CBC's history face. CBC is an important Canadian public institution of significant cultural and historical value, yet those outside the organization may only access many documents through ATIs. However, the information released through ATIs is often unsatisfactory as the Information Act's affordances and CBC's broad application of it allow for swaths of history to remain veiled in perpetuity. This must change. If I can be of further assistance or if additional comment or documentation is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The objective to address the "futures" of communication as a field of inquiry was and is not to identify research topics that may be popular or fashionable; rather, it is in the (re)establishment of "communication" as an enduring theoretical concept that cuts across the humanities and social sciences. The future of "communication" therefore designates its significance guaranteed by its interdisciplinary promise (but also arrives with its own concerns). What we offer here is a continuation of the belief that the question of ?futures? is not a one-time endeavor, but instead a question that needs to be returned to time and time again, particularly in this age of changing media landscapes and new interdisciplinary discourse. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/vol9/iss1/ Issue 1 (out now) Zachary J.

Paris): Analyser les antif?minismes, manosph?res et mouvements masculinistes: enjeux m?thodologiques et ?thiques [cid:184433f5924cb971f161] Nous sommes tr?s heureuses de continuer le cycle de s?minaires Genre(s) et m?thodes (GEM), co-organis? par le CRICIS et le LabSIC (Laboratoire des Sciences de l?information et de la communication, Universit? Sorbonne Paris Nord, France), qui a d?but? ? l'hiver 2021. Le second s?minaire de l'ann?e 2022-2023 aura lieu sur zoom le vendredi 18 novembre entre 9h et 12h (15h ? 18h ? Paris), sous le titre Analyser les antif?minismes, manosph?res et mouvements masculinistes : enjeux m?thodologiques et ?thiques. Il sera possible d'assister au s?minaire sur zoom (uniquement en ligne pour le Qu?bec) et ?galement en pr?sentiel ? Paris (CNRS, local 255, 2e ?tage - 59-61 rue Pouchet Paris 17e: http://www.pouchet.cnrs.fr/acces/). Merci de vous inscrire en ?crivant ? cricis at uqam.ca. Le s?minaire est gratuit et ouvert ? toutes et ? tous! ? cette occasion, nous accueillerons : * C?line Morin, ma?tresse de conf?rences en sciences de l?information et de la communication ? l?Universit? Paris Nanterre et rattach?e au laboratoire HAR / DICEN * M?lissa Blais, professeure associ?e ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec en Outaouais et ? l?Institut de recherches et d??tudes f?ministes * R?sum?s des communications: C?line Morin: Saisir l?antif?minisme en ligne par ses discours complotistes La consolidation sur les r?seaux sociaux d?une ? manosph?re ?, o? se retrouvent les d?fenseurs de la ? cause masculine ?, est de plus en plus indissociable de la prolif?ration de discours complotistes, visant ? critiquer un petit monde de coop?ration secr?te dissimul? ? l?univers social de tout un chacun. Ces discours ne peuvent ?tre compris que dans leur relation avec les sph?res traditionnelles de l?extr?me-droite : la manosph?re, qui en est une r?cente ?manation, d?fend ? la fois une solidarit? et une autonomisation vis-?-vis de ces milieux. ? partir d?une large compilation de commentaires post?s en r?ponse ? des vid?os antif?ministes sur YouTube, cette intervention propose de saisir la circulation, entre la manosph?re et la sph?re r?actionnaire ?largie, de ? signifiants flottants ? au sens d?Ernesto Laclau, c?est-?-dire d?entit?s discursives qui ont ?t? vid?es de leur contenu pour ?tre r?investies conjoncturellement. Concr?tement, la recherche montre qu?un proc?d? utilis? est le partage de syntagmes (semi)communs, dont les noyaux peuvent ?tre recontextualis?s : ? lobby f?ministe ? (d?riv? du ? lobby sioniste ?), ? communautarisme de genre ? (emprunt? au ? communautarisme islamique ?) ou ? racisme anti-homme ? (s?hybridant avec le ? racisme anti-blanc ?). Sur cette premi?re base, une m?thode d?analyse combinant ?tude automatis?e du langage, analyse th?matique et analyse discursive a ?t? construite, montrant la compl?mentarit? de deux critiques antif?ministes, une interpersonnelle et une structurelle. La circulation diff?renci?e de ces discours montre combien ces r?seaux sociaux apparaissent de plus en plus comme des micro-laboratoires du discursif, avec pour objectif de parfaire la coh?rence interne des id?es et d??prouver leur capacit? ? circuler dans d?autres espaces, ?largissant ainsi leur port?e politique. M?lissa Blais: Investir un terrain dangereux sans se faire mal : le cas de l?antif?minisme Dans le cadre de cette pr?sentation, nous discuterons des enjeux m?thodologiques li?s aux terrains dangereux et plus pr?cis?ment ? l??tude de l?antif?minisme en ligne et hors ligne. Comment se prot?ger et prendre soin de soi lorsque nous sommes confront?.e.s a des discours haineux ? En Am?rique du Nord, l??thique de la recherche en sciences sociales exige souvent que les chercheur.e.s fassent preuves d?une transparence sans failles aupr?s des sujets ? l??tude. Mais qu?en est-il lorsque cette transparence met ? mal la s?curit? des chercheur.e.s ? Comment conjuguer cette n?cessaire dissimulation avec une ?thique f?ministe qui privil?gie le don contre don ? Pour mieux r?pondre ? ces questions, nous aborderons divers aspects de l?architecture de la recherche ? commencer par la d?finition de l?objet (? partir d?un positionnement f?ministe) jusqu?? la diffusion des r?sultats, en insistant sur les questions de s?curit? et du ? care ? en recherche. ? propos des intervenantes C?line Morin est ma?tresse de conf?rences en sciences de l?information et de la communication ? l?Universit? Paris Nanterre, rattach?e au laboratoire HAR / DICEN. Sp?cialiste des reconfigurations de l?intimit? dans la sph?re publique, ses travaux portent notamment sur les repr?sentations m?diatiques des mouvements f?ministes, sur les discours et r?seaux antif?ministes et sur les controverses publiques mobilisant des questions intimes en sant? publique. Elle a notamment publi? dans Feminist Media Studies, Questions de communication, Herm?s et Le Temps des M?dias, ainsi que The Lancet, Global Public Health et PLoS Currents: Outbreaks. Professeure associ?e ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec en Outaouais et ? l?Institut de recherches et d??tudes f?ministes, M?lissa Blais s?int?resse aux mouvements sociaux, ? la place des ?motions dans la contestation collective et aux violences de genre. Elle travaille plus pr?cis?ment sur le contremouvement antif?ministe canadien (en ligne et hors ligne). Apr?s avoir document? les impacts de l?antif?minisme sur le mouvement f?ministe, elle a analys? les effets de la peur sur l?engagement des f?ministes au Qu?bec et en Suisse romande. Elle m?ne ?galement des recherches sur le harc?lement de rue en partenariat avec le Centre d??ducation et d?action des femmes. En termes de publication, on compte notamment le livre ?J?ha?s les f?ministes ? : le 6 d?cembre 1989 et ses suites et la codirection des ouvrages collectifs, Antif?minismes et masculinismes d?hier et d?aujourd?hui (PUF), Le mouvement masculiniste au Qu?bec : L?antif?minisme d?masqu? et Retour sur un attentat antif?ministe : ?cole Polytechnique 6 d?cembre 1989 (?ditions du remue-m?nage). ? propos de la s?rie de s?minaires Co-organis? par le LabSIC (Laboratoire des Sciences de l?information et de la communication, Universit? Sorbonne Paris Nord, France) et le CRICIS (Centre interuniversitaire sur la communication, l?information et la soci?t?, Qu?bec, Canada), le s?minaire Genre(s) et m?thodes (GEM) s?attache ? ?tudier les questions f?ministes, intersectionnelles et de genre(s) en termes de m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies. Concept transdisciplinaire fluide et non fig?, le genre ? ou les genres, pour ?chapper ? un fonctionnement social binaire ? a fait l?objet de travaux qui, en proposant un d?centrement radical, ont transform? le paysage des sciences sociales et humaines tout au long du XXe si?cle. Ce s?minaire a pour objectif de proposer un espace pour discuter des apports de ces ?tudes ? la pratique scientifique. Nous y discutons des fa?ons de faire de la recherche lorsqu?on travaille sur le(s) genre(s), de ses / leurs articulations avec d?autres formes de minoration, et du pouvoir critique de cet outil pour d?sessentialiser le monde social. Cherchant ? soustraire la r?flexion ? la pens?e universaliste, nous y d?centrons les regards pour aborder les questions de luttes, de r?sistances, ? l?exemple de celles de corps racis?s qui subissent diff?rents rapports de domination. Nous r?fl?chissons ? la fa?on dont sont op?r?s les d?centrements des concepts et aux d?marches mises en ?uvre pour d?construire les normes dominantes sur les identit?s de genre, les sexualit?s et d?autres rapports de pouvoir comme la classe ou la race. Pluriels, les questionnements portent sur la capacit? ? penser le positionnement de la chercheuse ou du chercheur, son engagement, sa subjectivit?, le d?voilement de biais en termes de production ou d?interpr?tation de donn?es, la r?flexivit? sur ces biais en tant que ressources heuristiques, ?pist?miques ou politiques, les questions ?thiques soulev?es par des objets per?us comme impurs, ou encore l?historiographie ou l?analyse du caract?re genr? d?un objet ou d?un dispositif d?enqu?te? Il s?av?re pertinent de mettre au jour et d?analyser les fa?ons dont le(s) genre(s) ? ainsi que les concepts qui lui / leur sont rattach?(s) ? sont travaill?s et reconstruits par le terrain? Enfin, cet espace de dialogue a aussi pour vocation d?interroger la possible singularit? des m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies des approches par le genre et des ?tudes f?ministes et intersectionnelles. Ce s?minaire met en lumi?re des travaux s?inscrivant dans les champs des m?dias et de la communication, et plus largement en sciences humaines et sociales (sociologie, histoire, anthropologie, sciences politiques ou philosophie?). Au plaisir de vous y retrouver!

Contributors analyse the ongoing battle between platforms and publishers, evaluate recent attempts to manage these tensions through policy reform and consider whether algorithms can be regulated to promote media diversity and stop misinformation and hate speech. Chapter authors also interview journalists and find out how their work is changing due to the growing importance of algorithmic systems. Drawing together an international group of scholars, the book takes a truly global perspective offering case studies from Switzerland, Germany, Kenya, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and China.

PUBLIC maintains an enduring and esteemed profile in the periodicals market with its demonstrated commitment to publishing works, both written and visual, that are innovative and challenging, forward-thinking and critical, and engage both internationally and locally inflected perspectives. The journal devotes each 180+ ? page, perfect-bound semi-color issue to a contemporary problem or theme and features content that combines critical writing, rich illustration throughout, and artist portfolios. PUBLIC stands apart from other publications by being conceived as a hybrid intellectual and creative forum that investigates how theoretical and critical issues intersect with art and public culture.

Our Association has its annual conference May 29-31, 2023. I would love it if CCA members would also consider submitting an abstract to our conference. Our CFP not only responds to Congress 23's theme, but we believe it challenges the theme further. Thanks for considering it and please do circulate within your networks! Best, Cheryl [https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/RaMbbNnDyuP9fjXkxi6accAeFC0-gbgFDVfXKnAQXIZ8SeN2PKMjfqiO7_4j5C3o_ricDqPw0ZY95dgkKmtdTfnfr01VbDpy0vEcWaQFNxgL7gn-fAFdcL-8nu_0yYZJqgg9VLUEpXZy2EyDWr8fbWoYKqbLM3KOu1_r_vi5Ium0zheHay-7G7Pny2nu] Call for Papers (Appel ? communications suit ci-dessous) Black Canadian Studies Association (BCSA) Conference Date: May 29-31, 2023 Location: York University Our Theme: Nah! On The Possibilities of Ongoing Refusals The annual meeting of the Black Canadian Studies Association (BCSA) will take place in person May 29 ? 31, 2023 as part of the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences (May 27 ? June 2, 2023) at York?s Keele and Glendon Campuses in Toronto. The theme for Congress 2023 will be Reckonings and Re-Imaginings. Drawing on the lessons of Black Lives Matter, the Federal Anti-racism Secretariat, Idle No More, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Congress 2023 aims to focus on what is needed to live in non-hierarchical relationships that can truly honour our human differences, while protecting the land, water and air we all need to live together. This theme also reflects the vision of Associate Professor Andrea Davis, Academic Convenor for Congress 2023, and her collaboration with members of the York University community. Our conference committee has chosen the exclamation ?Nah? as an expression, response, and exhortation of Black refusals. As a colloquial use of language, our call aims to push the boundaries of how we contend with reckonings and re-imaginings in a cultural context where Blackness remains ignored, challenged, and in some cases, diminished by pervasive anti-Blackness, both in formal and informal settings. The experience of Blackness related to (body)language ? as a form of expression, political action, and meaning-making ? is invoked in our call. Refusal is broadly understood to encapsulate refusals of form (language/artistic expression/media), ?in the break? (Moten, 2003) from disciplinary boundaries, and operating outside/within the context of neoliberal diversity and inclusion frameworks. Refusal is taken to be a ?generative stance? (Tuck & Yang, 2014) which encourages radical imaginings beyond established boundaries. Through imaginative articulations of ?Nah? we aim to delve into and depart from past/ongoing practices that precipitate the need for reckonings and reimaginings. The possibility of ongoing refusals acknowledged by a nod, an intentional and explicit or subtle rejection, a calling deixa pra l?, or a pleading non mais, all create space for counter-narratives and Black re-existence. How can we move the conversation on Black lives beyond rhetoric to actionable strategies that aim for structural change? How might ?Nah? be a productive response to inadequate policies, practices, and politics? Where are the structures, spaces, sounds of Black lives currently operating that deserve recognition and could serve as templates for intersectional justice? Can we even begin to reckon and imagine when much remains to be named and acknowledged? Programme: https://www.blackcanadianstudiesassociation.ca/annual-conference-annuelle-2023.html Appel ? communications Association d'?tudes noires canadiennes (AENC) Date de conf?rence: 29 au 31 Mai 2023 Location: Universit? York, Toronto Notre Th?me: Nah! ou la possibilit? des refus persistant La rencontre annuelle de l?Association d'?tudes noires canadiennes (AENC) aura lieu en personne du 29 au 31 mai 2023 dans le cadre de la rencontre annuelle du Congr?s des sciences humaines sur les campus Keele et Glendon de l?Universit? York, ? Toronto (pr?vue du 27 mai au 2 juin, 2023). Le th?me du Congr?s cette ann?e sera ? confronter le pass?, r?imaginer l?avenir ?. En s?appuyant sur les le?ons des mouvements Black Lives Matter (ou La vie des Noir.e.s compte), Idle No More (ou Finie l?inertie), et l?enqu?te nationale sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassin?es, Congr?s 2023 esp?re mettre en valeur les connaissances bas? sur une dynamique anti-hi?rarchique qui respecte nos diff?rences humaines tout en pr?servant l?environnement dans lequel nous ?voluons tous. Ce th?me refl?te ?galement la vision d?Andrea Davis, professeure agr?g?e et responsable universitaire du Congr?s, de part sa collaboration avec les membres de la communaut? de l?Universit? York. Nous avons choisi l?exclamation ? nah ? pour notre conf?rence afin d?exprimer, de r?pondre et d?exclamer le refus des Noirs et par les Noir.e.s. Cette interjection famili?re exprime combien notre appel vise ? repousser les limites de la ? confrontation du pass? ? et de la ? r?imagination de l?avenir ? dans un contexte culturel o? le v?cu des Noir.e.s continue d??tre ignor?, est remis en cause et, dans certains cas, est amoindris par le racisme anti-Noir.e.s interpersonnel et syst?mique. Nous invoquons ce v?cu dans sa relation au langage (corporel), lequel existe sous forme d?expression, d?action politique, et de recherche de sens. L? o? le refus est largement reconnu comme une r?jection de la forme (li?es soit au langage, ? l?expression artistique, et aux moyens de communications), une d?viation des trac?s disciplinaires, et un refus de s?ancrer dans un contexte de diversit? n?olib?ral et dans un cadre d?inclusion dict?es par d?autres, nous visons ? lier notre refus ? l?appel du Congr?s de confronter le pass? et de r?imaginer le futur. Le refus est ici d?fini comme un ? generative stance ? (prononciation g?n?ratrice) (Tuck & Yang, 2014) qui sous-entend une vision qui va au-del? de contours pr?d?finis. ? travers l?articulation de ? nah ?, nous visons ? plonger dans les pratiques courantes/ant?rieures qui nous ont port? ? confronter et ? r?imaginer, tout en s??cartant de celles-ci. Les refus persistants honorent la r?jection implicite et explicite, l?appel qui dit deixa pra l?, ou encore le ? non mais! ? qui supplie; c?est la recherche vaillante d?un espace o? peuvent exister le counter-narrative (ou un r?cit qui fait barrage) ainsi que la r?-existence noire. Comment pouvons-nous avancer la conversation sur le v?cu des Noir.e.s loin du simple discours et vers des strat?gies qui m?nent ? des actions concr?tes dans le cadre des structures concern?s? Comment est-ce que ? nah? peut-il offrir une r?ponse productive quant au polices, pratiques, et politiques jug?s inad?quats? Pouvons-nous m?me commencer ? confronter et ? r?imaginer alors qu?il y a tellement que l?on n?a pas m?me encore reconnus ni imagin?s?

This webinar celebrates the launch of Out of the Margins? Race, Racism, and Colonialism in Canadian Communication Studies, a CJC special issue edited by Faiza Hirji, Yasmin Jiwani, and Kirsten McAllister, which is concerned about the marginalization of race and Indigenous studies and scholars in Canadian communication studies. Building upon Paula Chakravartty, Rachel Kuo, Victoria Grubbs, Charlton McIlwain's #CommunicationSoWhite article, the #CommunicationSoWhite 2019 International Communication Association (ICA) pre-conference and special issue organized and edited by Eve Ng, Khadijah Costley White, and Anamik Saha, an article published in that issue, and a series of #CommunicationSoWhite panels at the 2021 Canadian Communication Association conference, the special issue brings together the voices of those who are present yet absent in the field, and foregrounds the issues that are likewise present but made absent in Canadian communication studies. The special issue hopes to prompt further questions, investigations, and an opening of the field and how we understand communication studies in Turtle Island/the settler colony of Canada. The webinar features presentations by Faiza Hirji, Yasmin Jiwani, Kirsten McAllister, Gretchen King, Dilyana Mincheva, Ravindra Mohabeer, Cheryl Thompson, Nathan Rambukkana, and Nimalan Yoganathan. An interactive Q&A session to follow.

Students have mobilized to provide information on reproductive choice, build feminist communication networks, oppose Canada?s involvement in Viet Nam, and promote mental health and well-being (Jasen, 2011; Peters, 2015). This has included arts-based interventions, print/ media campaigns, and direct action (Delgado & Ross, 2016; Lexier, 2003; Grayson, 2013). And yet, there exists no comprehensive archive of student protest in Canada. This symposium will engage graduate students and academic/community collaborators in documenting, analyzing and remediating the social histories of post-secondary student activism across Canada. Some theorists claim that the contemporary universities take a dim view of student activism, imposing ?managerial technologies? (Brul?, 2015). As universities pivot to equity/diversion/inclusion mandates, what can be learned from an archive of student advocacy in Canada? Have you been involved in student advocacy or activism and have a story to share? Have you done research or creative work on a particular aspect of the history of student protest? We are seeking presentation, workshop, and creative submissions for an upcoming 1-day Archive of Student Protest Symposium to be held at Toronto Metropolitan University on February 4 2023. The Studio for Media Activism & Critical Thought (SMACT), a research hub at TMU invites post-secondary students (both former and current), community members, and academics to submit proposals. Submissions will be open until December 15, 2022. Submissions can touch upon these questions and others: * How have student social justice and advocacy has developed, persevered, and changed throughout Canadian history? * What is the relationship of such movements as People?s Climate March, Idle No More, and Black Lives Matter with student protest? * How can we build a critical understanding of student activist roles in relation to the cultural development of academic institutions? * How can the ?archival turn? impact or reframe histories of social justice and protest? * How can the archive or current reality of student protest speak to university policy and culture? We welcome submissions from any individual or organization related to or doing research on, the archive of student advocacy and activism in Canada. However, as an in-person event all submissions must be able to be presented in-person on campus at TMU, in downtown Toronto, on February 4 2023. (Please note that we are unable to provide travel funding). Submissions are accepted in a range of formats, with some possible examples listed below. Examples of possible submissions: ? Traditional academic presentation (roughly 10-15 mins) ? Panel or roundtable conversation. ? Community presentation or talk. ? Creative Presentation or workshop Please submit a 100-150 word description of your intended presentation, round table presentation or talk, along with a 50-100 word bio about yourself, your organization, collective, or activist experience and how it connects to the archive of student protest in Canada For creative presentations, please include up some images relevant to the work you are proposing, if possible.

US-based Internet giants? combined revenue in Canada of $14.9 billion gave them a 15.8% market share. Professor Winseck is currently on sabbatical and out of the country.

Often conceived as a retreat from the social and communal, how is sleep becoming increasingly a space for a more expansive sense of the work of the political beyond the question of ?rights?? In this sleep salon, we consider sleep as a site of politics in dialogue with feminism, violence, desire, memory and exhaustion. Cressida Heyes, author of Anaesthetics of Existence: Essays on Experience at the Edge (Duke UP, joins us from the University of Alberta to discuss their new project, ?Sex is the New Sleep? and the epistemological demands of the ?unlived? experience of sleep. Artist Saodat Ismailova, who works between Taskkent and Paris, will discuss the place of sleep as retreat and engagement in her work as part of a generation of post-Soviet artists from Central Asia. Across film and installation in works such as Zukhra (2013) and Chillahona (2022), the resting body of women creates not a withdrawal from the political, but its expansion through time, space and affect.?

Le s?minaire est gratuit et ouvert ? toutes et ? tous! ? cette occasion, nous accueillerons : * C?line Morin, ma?tresse de conf?rences en sciences de l?information et de la communication ? l?Universit? Paris Nanterre et rattach?e au laboratoire HAR / DICEN * M?lissa Blais, professeure associ?e ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec en Outaouais et ? l?Institut de recherches et d??tudes f?ministes * R?sum?s des communications: C?line Morin: Saisir l?antif?minisme en ligne par ses discours complotistes La consolidation sur les r?seaux sociaux d?une ? manosph?re ?, o? se retrouvent les d?fenseurs de la ? cause masculine ?, est de plus en plus indissociable de la prolif?ration de discours complotistes, visant ? critiquer un petit monde de coop?ration secr?te dissimul? ? l?univers social de tout un chacun. Ces discours ne peuvent ?tre compris que dans leur relation avec les sph?res traditionnelles de l?extr?me-droite : la manosph?re, qui en est une r?cente ?manation, d?fend ? la fois une solidarit? et une autonomisation vis-?-vis de ces milieux. ? partir d?une large compilation de commentaires post?s en r?ponse ? des vid?os antif?ministes sur YouTube, cette intervention propose de saisir la circulation, entre la manosph?re et la sph?re r?actionnaire ?largie, de ? signifiants flottants ? au sens d?Ernesto Laclau, c?est-?-dire d?entit?s discursives qui ont ?t? vid?es de leur contenu pour ?tre r?investies conjoncturellement. Concr?tement, la recherche montre qu?un proc?d? utilis? est le partage de syntagmes (semi)communs, dont les noyaux peuvent ?tre recontextualis?s : ? lobby f?ministe ? (d?riv? du ? lobby sioniste ?), ? communautarisme de genre ? (emprunt? au ? communautarisme islamique ?) ou ? racisme anti-homme ? (s?hybridant avec le ? racisme anti-blanc ?). Sur cette premi?re base, une m?thode d?analyse combinant ?tude automatis?e du langage, analyse th?matique et analyse discursive a ?t? construite, montrant la compl?mentarit? de deux critiques antif?ministes, une interpersonnelle et une structurelle. La circulation diff?renci?e de ces discours montre combien ces r?seaux sociaux apparaissent de plus en plus comme des micro-laboratoires du discursif, avec pour objectif de parfaire la coh?rence interne des id?es et d??prouver leur capacit? ? circuler dans d?autres espaces, ?largissant ainsi leur port?e politique. M?lissa Blais: Investir un terrain dangereux sans se faire mal : le cas de l?antif?minisme Dans le cadre de cette pr?sentation, nous discuterons des enjeux m?thodologiques li?s aux terrains dangereux et plus pr?cis?ment ? l??tude de l?antif?minisme en ligne et hors ligne. Comment se prot?ger et prendre soin de soi lorsque nous sommes confront?.e.s a des discours haineux ? En Am?rique du Nord, l??thique de la recherche en sciences sociales exige souvent que les chercheur.e.s fassent preuves d?une transparence sans failles aupr?s des sujets ? l??tude. Mais qu?en est-il lorsque cette transparence met ? mal la s?curit? des chercheur.e.s ? Comment conjuguer cette n?cessaire dissimulation avec une ?thique f?ministe qui privil?gie le don contre don ? Pour mieux r?pondre ? ces questions, nous aborderons divers aspects de l?architecture de la recherche ? commencer par la d?finition de l?objet (? partir d?un positionnement f?ministe) jusqu?? la diffusion des r?sultats, en insistant sur les questions de s?curit? et du ? care ? en recherche. ? propos des intervenantes: -C?line Morin est ma?tresse de conf?rences en sciences de l?information et de la communication ? l?Universit? Paris Nanterre, rattach?e au laboratoire HAR / DICEN. Sp?cialiste des reconfigurations de l?intimit? dans la sph?re publique, ses travaux portent notamment sur les repr?sentations m?diatiques des mouvements f?ministes, sur les discours et r?seaux antif?ministes et sur les controverses publiques mobilisant des questions intimes en sant? publique. Elle a notamment publi? dans Feminist Media Studies, Questions de communication, Herm?s et Le Temps des M?dias, ainsi que The Lancet, Global Public Health et PLoS Currents: Outbreaks. -Professeure associ?e ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec en Outaouais et ? l?Institut de recherches et d??tudes f?ministes, M?lissa Blais s?int?resse aux mouvements sociaux, ? la place des ?motions dans la contestation collective et aux violences de genre. Elle travaille plus pr?cis?ment sur le contremouvement antif?ministe canadien (en ligne et hors ligne). Apr?s avoir document? les impacts de l?antif?minisme sur le mouvement f?ministe, elle a analys? les effets de la peur sur l?engagement des f?ministes au Qu?bec et en Suisse romande. Elle m?ne ?galement des recherches sur le harc?lement de rue en partenariat avec le Centre d??ducation et d?action des femmes. En termes de publications, on compte notamment le livre ?J?ha?s les f?ministes ? : le 6 d?cembre 1989 et ses suites et la codirection des ouvrages collectifs, Antif?minismes et masculinismes d?hier et d?aujourd?hui (PUF), Le mouvement masculiniste au Qu?bec : L?antif?minisme d?masqu? et Retour sur un attentat antif?ministe : ?cole Polytechnique 6 d?cembre 1989 (?ditions du remue-m?nage). Syllabus du s?minaire Co-organis? par le LabSIC (Laboratoire des Sciences de l?information et de la communication, Universit? Sorbonne Paris Nord, France) et le CRICIS (Centre interuniversitaire sur la communication, l?information et la soci?t?, Qu?bec, Canada), le s?minaire Genre(s) et m?thodes (GEM) s?attache ? ?tudier les questions f?ministes, intersectionnelles et de genre(s) en termes de m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies. Concept transdisciplinaire fluide et non fig?, le genre ? ou les genres, pour ?chapper ? un fonctionnement social binaire ? a fait l?objet de travaux qui, en proposant un d?centrement radical, ont transform? le paysage des sciences sociales et humaines tout au long du XXe si?cle. Ce s?minaire a pour objectif de proposer un espace pour discuter des apports de ces ?tudes ? la pratique scientifique. Nous y discutons des fa?ons de faire de la recherche lorsqu?on travaille sur le(s) genre(s), de ses / leurs articulations avec d?autres formes de minoration, et du pouvoir critique de cet outil pour d?sessentialiser le monde social. Cherchant ? soustraire la r?flexion ? la pens?e universaliste, nous y d?centrons les regards pour aborder les questions de luttes, de r?sistances, ? l?exemple de celles de corps racis?s qui subissent diff?rents rapports de domination. Nous r?fl?chissons ? la fa?on dont sont op?r?s les d?centrements des concepts et aux d?marches mises en ?uvre pour d?construire les normes dominantes sur les identit?s de genre, les sexualit?s et d?autres rapports de pouvoir comme la classe ou la race. Pluriels, les questionnements portent sur la capacit? ? penser le positionnement de la chercheuse ou du chercheur, son engagement, sa subjectivit?, le d?voilement de biais en termes de production ou d?interpr?tation de donn?es, la r?flexivit? sur ces biais en tant que ressources heuristiques, ?pist?miques ou politiques, les questions ?thiques soulev?es par des objets per?us comme impurs, ou encore l?historiographie ou l?analyse du caract?re genr? d?un objet ou d?un dispositif d?enqu?te? Il s?av?re pertinent de mettre au jour et d?analyser les fa?ons dont le(s) genre(s) ? ainsi que les concepts qui lui / leur sont rattach?(s) ? sont travaill?s et reconstruits par le terrain? Enfin, cet espace de dialogue a aussi pour vocation d?interroger la possible singularit? des m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies des approches par le genre et des ?tudes f?ministes et intersectionnelles. Ce s?minaire met en lumi?re des travaux s?inscrivant dans les champs des m?dias et de la communication, et plus largement en sciences humaines et sociales (sociologie, histoire, anthropologie, sciences politiques ou philosophie?).

Ne pas h?siter ? faire circuler... ?Appel ? contribution au volume 17 de la R2LMM : Enseigner la s?miotique, de l??cole ? l?universit? / Teaching Semiotics, from School to University Date: Mardi, Octobre 18, 2022 to Lundi, Janvier 16, 2023 Num?ro de revue coordonn? par Alexandra Saemmer et Nolwenn Tr?hondart English version below! Si la s?miotique est int?gr?e dans de nombreux cursus universitaires en sciences humaines et sociales, son introduction ? l??cole primaire et secondaire s?est faite non pas sous la forme d?une discipline ? part enti?re, mais sous l?impulsion des programmes d??ducation artistique et culturelle (?ducation ? l?image, au cin?ma, ? l?audiovisuel) et d??ducation aux m?dias et ? l?information. L?acquisition d?une culture s?miotique favorisant la compr?hension des messages m?diatiques et informationnels est ainsi souvent pr?sent?e comme un ?l?ment central de l?apprentissage de la citoyennet?. En contexte p?dagogique, cet enseignement est cependant longtemps rest? centr? sur l?apprentissage d?une ??grammaire?? de d?codage des signes, visant ? mettre ? jour les strat?gies encod?es dans les productions culturelles et m?diatiques. Certes, les outils de d?cryptage d?velopp?s dans ce contexte peuvent aider les apprenants et les ?tudiants ? aff?ter leur regard et leur esprit critique ainsi qu?? mieux percevoir et verbaliser les enjeux communicationnels qui structurent ces productions. Cela ?tant, sur le terrain des pratiques p?dagogiques, l?enseignant se trouve confront? ? une grande diversit? de points de vue ?manant de la confrontation avec des productions culturelles et m?diatiques et doit parfois faire face ? des conflits interpr?tatifs virulents. Face ? l?inconnu que peuvent constituer les r?actions d??l?ves, l?apprentissage d?une grammaire codifi?e peut alors sembler plus rassurant que l?initiation ? un questionnement r?flexif sur ce qui fonde la variabilit? interpr?tative. D?s 1985, Genevi?ve Jacquinot ?voque un risque d???imp?rialisme culturel et social?? li? ? des pratiques p?dagogiques qui pr?f?rent imposer ???le bon sens? au m?pris du respect des processus complexes d?appropriation des messages???. Plus r?cemment, Jacques Fontanille (2021) revient sur les enjeux socio-?ducatifs de la s?miotique en pointant ??la facilit? qui consiste ? travailler sans corpus, hors de tout terrain d?enqu?te, et sans aucune m?thode de recueil et de construction des donn?es d?analyse.?? Sans terrain, le p?dagogue peut ?tre tent? de s?attribuer le r?le de d?tenteur de la v?rit? sur la signification, alors m?me qu?il ne ??mod?lise que ses propres repr?sentations?? (Fontanille, 2021), fond?es sur ses exp?riences personnelles, ses opinions, ses st?r?otypes. Depuis plusieurs ann?es, un nombre important de chercheurs, souvent situ?s dans l?interdiscipline des sciences de l?information et de la communication, d?veloppent des m?thodologies s?miotiques dont les approches situ?es proposent de prendre en compte de mani?re empirique la place centrale du sujet dans la s?miose. Ces d?marches reposent sur l?hybridation entre des enqu?tes de terrain (entretien, questionnaire, focus group, ateliers de co-interpr?tation) et des analyses situ?es des structures formelles des productions culturelles et m?diatiques (textes, images, films, s?ries, journaux en ligne, plateformes num?riques?). Dans certains cas, l?enjeu est de mettre en perspective les r?sultats de l?analyse formelle effectu?e par l?expert s?mioticien avec ceux d?velopp?s par des producteurs ou r?cepteurs. Dans d?autres cas, l?objectif de l?analyse s?miotique se d?place de la recherche d?un r?sultat interpr?tatif final vers l?analyse en profondeur des processus de production du sens. Dans les deux approches, il s?agit d?engager, ? partir de la confrontation d?hypoth?ses interpr?tatives sur le terrain, une r?flexion sur les filtres interpr?tatifs (Saemmer, Tr?hondart, 2022), ??savoirs situ?s?? (Haraway, 2007) et ??habitudes de pens?e?? (au sens d?un ??habitus de pens?e?? [Lorusso, 2018 ; Darras, 2006]) qui motivent la s?miose chez le sujet. Ce volume 17 de la Revue de recherches en litt?ratie m?diatique multimodale propose de questionner la mani?re dont se renouvelle l?enseignement de la s?miotique, de l??cole ? l?universit?, au prisme de telles d?marches accordant une place centrale ? l?apprenant dans la s?miose. Selon les termes de Bernard Darras (2020), il s?agit de questionner la mani?re dont ??le regard d?historien.ne, de litt?raire, de linguiste ou de plasticien.ne d?termine leur regard??, regard par la suite transmis aux ?l?ves incit?s ? interpr?ter selon les m?mes filtres. Mais il s?agit ?galement de se demander s?il est possible de d?passer la pr?tention de la s?miotique interpr?tative de vouloir ??d?crypter?? ou ??d?coder?? le sens gr?ce au regard expert, et comment celle-ci peut prendre en compte le fait que ce regard est ?galement situ?. Des enqu?tes men?es en contexte scolaire (Tr?hondart 2022) montrent qu?il existe en effet des r?sistances ? l?id?e de cr?er, ? l?int?rieur de l?espace scolaire, des lieux de r?flexion sur la production du sens, impliquant de partager ses propres convictions, valeurs ou opinions. Ce dossier souhaite de fait dresser un ?tat de l?art de ces ??s?miotiques de terrain?? telles qu?elles sont d?ploy?es dans les enseignements en contextes scolaire et universitaire : il s?agira d?en questionner les enjeux th?oriques, d?expliciter les bricolages m?thodologiques face ? la complexit? du terrain, et de soulever les enjeux ?thiques que peut poser l?int?gration de la subjectivit? singuli?re en contexte ?ducatif et p?dagogique. Les propositions pourront ?tre guid?es par les questions suivantes : - Comment le sens est-il enseign? aux enfants, aux adolescents, aux ?tudiants, et ? travers quelles activit?s de r?ception et de cr?ation est-il v?cu?? - Quelles ?volutions de l?enseignement de la s?miotique en contextes scolaires et universitaires, ainsi qu?en formation des enseignants (quelles que soient les disciplines)?? Sur quels fondements s?appuient les acteurs en termes de pratiques de r?ception et de production?? Quelles d?marches (recherche-formation, recherche-cr?ation) sont mises en ?uvre dans les ?tablissements de formation des enseignants?? - Quelles relations la s?miotique entretient-elle avec l??ducation critique aux images, aux m?dias et ? l?information et avec les pratiques de litt?ratie num?rique (Lacelle, Lebrun, 2014) ? Il pourra ?tre ici int?ressant de montrer l??volution des m?thodes d?enseignement de la s?miotique en lien avec l?apparition de pratiques de lecture et d??criture multimodales, complexifiant les processus de production du sens. Comment aider, par exemple, les apprenants ? mieux cerner les filtres socio-culturels et ?motionnels qui animent leur rapport aux textes num?riques, aux images fixes et anim?es ainsi qu?aux plateformes et r?seaux socio-num?riques qui entourent les pratiques m?diatiques et ?ducatives?? L?apport de d?marches s?miotiques de terrain ? l?analyse critique de dispositifs p?dagogiques num?riques, tels que les plateformes ?ducatives et scolaires, pourra aussi ?tre explor? (Tr?hondart, Carton, 2020). English version Although semiotics is integrated into many university curricula in humanities and social sciences, its introduction into primary and high schools has not taken place in the form of a discipline in its own right, but rather under the impulse of programs of artistic and cultural education (education in images, cinema, audiovisuals) as well as media and information literacy. The acquisition of a semiotic culture favouring the understanding of media and information messages is thus often presented as the central element of citizenship learning. In a pedagogical context, however, this teaching has long remained centred on the learning of a ?grammar? of sign decoding, aiming to uncover the strategies in cultural and media productions. Of course, the decoding tools developed in this context can help learners and students sharpen their eye and their critical thinking skills. It helps them to better perceive and verbalize the communicative issues that structure these productions. However, in the field of pedagogical practices, the teacher is confronted with a great diversity of points of view emanating from the confrontation with cultural and media productions and must sometimes deal with virulent interpretative conflicts. Faced with the unknown of the students? reactions, learning the codified grammar may then seem more reassuring than initiating a reflexive questioning of what constitutes interpretative variability. As early as 1985, Genevi?ve Jacquinot evoked the risk of ?cultural and social imperialism? linked to the pedagogical practices that impose ?'common sense' in disregard to the complex processes of the appropriation of messages??. More recently, Jacques Fontanille (2021) returns to the socio-educational issues of semiotics by pointing out the ?ease of working without a corpus, outside of any field of investigation, and without any method of collecting and constructing analytical data.? Without a field, the pedagogue may be tempted to ascribe to themself the role of holder of truth of meaning, even though they are only ?modelling their own representations? (Fontanille, 2021), based on their experiences, their opinions, and their stereotypes. For several years, many researchers, often from the interdisciplinary field of information and communication sciences, have been developing semiotic methodologies whose situated approaches propose to consider, in an empirical way, the central place of the subject in semiosis. These approaches are based on the hybridization of field surveys (interview, questionnaires, focus groups, co-interpretation workshop) and situated analysis of the formal structure of cultural and media productions (texts, images, movies, series, online newspapers, digital platforms, etc.). In some cases, the challenge is to put into perspective the results of the formal analysis carried out by the semiotician expert with those developed by producers and receivers. In some cases, the issue is to put in perspective the results of the formal analysis made by the semiotician expert with those developed by producers and receptors. In other cases, the objective of semiotic analysis shifts from the search for a final interpretative result to an in-depth analysis of the processes of meaning production. In both approaches, the aim is to engage, from the confrontation of interpretative hypothesis in the field, a reflection on the interpretative filters (Saemmer, Tr?hondart, 2022), on the ?situated knowledge? (Haraway, 2007) and on the ?habits of thought? (in the sense of the ?habitus of thought? [Lorusso, 2018; Darras, 2006]) which drives semiosis in the subject. The volume 17 of Revue de recherches en litt?ratie m?diatique multimodale proposes to question the way in which the teaching of semiotics is being renewed, from school to university, through the prism of such approaches that give a central place to the learners in semiosis. In the words of Bernard Darras (2020), it is to question the way in which ?the gaze of a historian, a literary scholar, a linguist or a visual artist determines their gazes?, a gaze that is then transmitted to students who are encouraged to interpret according to the same filters. But it is also a question of asking whether it is possible to go beyond the claim of interpretative semiotics, which is to ?decipher? or ?decode? the meaning thanks to the expert gaze, and how this can consider the fact that this gaze is also situated. Surveys conducted in the school context (Tr?hondart, 2022) show that there is indeed some resistance to the idea of creating, within the school space, places for reflection on the production of meaning, involving the sharing of one?s own convictions, values, or opinions. This issue wishes to draw up a state of the art in these ?field semiotics? as they are deployed in school and university teaching contexts. It will question the theoretical stakes, explain the methodological handiworks in the face of the complexity of the field, and raise the ethical stakes that can be posed by the integration of singular subjectivity in educational and pedagogical context. Propositions may be guided by the following questions: - How is meaning taught to children, teenagers, and students, and through what activities of reception and creation is it experienced? - What are the developments in the teaching of semiotics in school and university (whatever the discipline)? On what foundations do the actors rely in terms of reception and production? What approaches (research-training, research-creation) are implemented in teacher training institutions? - What relationship does semiotics have with critical education in images, media, and information, and with digital literacy practises (Lacelle, Boutin, Lebrun, 2017)? It may be interesting here to show the evolution of semiotics teaching methods in connection with the emergence of multimodal reading and writing practices, producing meaning-making processes more complex. For example, how can we help learners to better identify sociocultural and emotional filters that drive their relationship to digital texts, to still and moving images, and the sociodigital platforms and networks that surround media and education practises? The contribution of field semiotic approaches to the critical analysis of digital pedagogical devices, such as educational and school platforms, could also be explored (Tr?hondart, Carton, 2020).

Over the 2021-22 academic year, the MAC group discussed a variety of opportunities and concerns that require targeted efforts (some of which fall outside the original MAC mandate). The group identified the following three areas of focus that encompass the opportunities and issues raised: ?1. Advocacy: Advocating for changes to the Canadian Copyright Act 2. Access and Exhibition: Exploring issues and best practices pertaining to accessing and exhibiting media in educational settings 3. Appropriation/Repurposing: Developing guidelines for videographic work that uses fair dealing and other user?s rights provided in copyright legislation.? (2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report, https://bit.ly/macsum, pg. 1) The MAC group made a motion to FSAC that a dedicated working group be created for each of the above areas of focus, to continue work on the recommendations outlined in their 2021-22 final report. This motion was supported at the 2022 FMSAC Annual General Meeting. For each of these working groups, MAC seeks members who will include Black, Indigenous, racialized scholars and makers, as well as LGBTQ+, gender, and regionally diverse scholars and makers. 1) COPYRIGHT ADVOCACY (CA) Mandate: The CA Working Group will focus on collaborative advocacy efforts for changes to the Canadian Copyright Act. Key issues requiring advocacy are outlined in the ?Advocacy? section of the 2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report (https://bit.ly/macsum). Duties: Monthly one-hour meetings over the 2022-23 academic year to devise advocacy strategies and engage in advocacy work. 2) ACCESS & EXHIBITION (AE) Mandate: The AE Working Group will focus on developing best practice guidelines related to the access and exhibition of media for scholarly purposes. Key recommendations for the activities of this group are outlined in the ?Access and Exhibition? section of the 2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report (https://bit.ly/macsum). Duties: Monthly one-hour meetings over the 2022-23 academic year to investigate current and potential practices that facilitate access to, and exhibition of, media for scholarly purposes. The group will also develop related guidelines for use in educational, research and library settings. 3) MEDIA APPROPRIATION & REPURPOSING (MAR) Mandate: The MAR Working Group will develop a best practices guide on lawful appropriation and repurposing of media in educational and research settings. For details on the recommended activities and focus of this group, please see the ?Appropriation/Repurposing? section of the 2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report (https://bit.ly/macsum). Duties: Monthly one-hour meetings over the 2022-23 academic year to develop a guide for lawful appropriation and repurposing of media in educational and research contexts. APPLICATION The Working Groups have already held at least one meeting since being constituted in October. So, interested volunteers are encouraged to sign up for any of the above working groups as soon as they can, and (ideally) no later than November 22, 2022: https://bit.ly/3UHqTcj For further information, or to send notification that you have signed up for one or more working groups, please email current MAC coordinators Rumi Graham (grahry at uleth.ca) and Aaron Taylor (aaron.taylor2 at uleth.ca).

Cependant, une autre utilisation majeure de la g?olocalisation sociale n?a ?t? que peu investigu?e jusqu?alors : les individus peuvent ?galement se g?olocaliser entre eux, dans des contextes et des milieux vari?s sur lesquels il sera utile de revenir. Cette intervention s?appuie sur deux travaux empiriques r?cemment r?alis?s et vise ? explorer deux dimensions de ce tra?age spatial, dans lequel l?outil s?impose le plus souvent comme un r?v?lateur de v?rit?. Dans un premier temps, l?attention sera port?e sur les pratiques de g?olocalisation intrafamiliales, principalement parents-enfants, cette technologie repr?sentant une nouvelle forme singuli?re de contr?le parental. Dans un second temps, la r?flexion se poursuivra autour des usages sociaux et enjeux relationnels relatifs ? la g?olocalisation des pairs entre adolescents, notamment via la SnapMap de l?application Snapchat. Yann Bruna est docteur en sociologie, ma?tre de conf?rences ? l?Universit? Paris-Nanterre et membre du laboratoire Sophiapol. Apr?s une th?se sur les exp?riences ? l?espace et au temps qui d?coulent des appropriations de diverses applications de g?olocalisation sur smartphone, il a r?alis? une recherche postdoctorale ? Orange Labs relative ? l?exploitation de leurs donn?es personnelles par les individus eux-m?mes via des outils exp?rimentaux en ligne, dans le cadre de la portabilit? des donn?es mise en place par le RGPD. Aujourd?hui, ses recherches portent d?une part sur les usages sociaux des outils num?riques, notamment les pratiques des plateformes communicationnelles ? l?adolescence, et d?autre part sur les dispositifs de g?olocalisation, lorsqu?ils sont utilis?s ? des fins de surveillance entre individus. Cette s?ance sera anim?e par H?l?ne Bourdeloie, ma?tresse de conf?rences ? l?Universit? Sorbonne Paris Nord, en d?l?gation CNRS au CIS en 2022-23. Bien cordialement, *** Centre Internet et Soci?t?

RACE, RIGHTS & REPRESENTATION A lecture by Mark Sealy, OBE Author of Photography: Race, Rights and Representation (2022) and Decolonising the Camera: Photography in Racial Time (2019), and Executive Director of Autograph. Date and time: Friday, December 2, 12:00-1:30pm MT Location: Online via Zoom In this talk, Mark Sealy will discuss his curatorial work as a visual cosmology that spans notions of time, place, and history. Drawing on his experiences as a leading writer on photography and as the Executive Director of Autograph, an organization championing photography that explores issues of race, identity, representation, and social justice, Sealy will engage with artists and exhibitions that offer audiences the opportunity to travel intellectually beyond the mundane and familiar within cultural politics. Challenging the Eurocentric bias that has shaped photography since its origins, the artists Sealy will discuss move us into new visual realms and political conjunctures that openly engage with both old and new knowledge formations concerning photographic practices, opening up new ways of seeing race, place, human rights, and identity politics. About the Speaker Mark Sealy, OBE is Executive Director of Autograph (1991- ) and Professor, Photography, Rights and Representation at University Arts London - London College of Communication, affiliated with the Photography Archive and Research Centre. Sealy is interested in the relationship between art, photography and social change, identity politics, race, and human rights.

In addition, he is an advisor to several leading cultural institutions, including the Tate, the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.

We encourage applications for the new program by February 15. COMMUNICATION RESEARCH FOR SOCIAL CHANGE ? a new Master of Arts curriculum Alongside our long-standing curriculum leading to the MA thesis, students may now pursue a curriculum focused on communication research for social change, a four-term (16 month), cohort-based stream culminating with the completion of an MA project. The new MA stream in communication research for social change builds on the School?s historical roots and ongoing commitment to social justice, providing students with theoretical and methodological training for social justice research initiatives in the field of communication. Studies in the curriculum will draw on an intersectional framework of analysis and will be grounded in knowledges developed with, by, and for progressive social movements. Students pursuing the communication research for social change MA will produce a project that mobilizes knowledge, deepens engagement, educates, informs, or raises awareness through research that is of social value to communities. MA projects will include forms of knowledge production that are distinct from the traditional thesis. These might include (but needn?t be limited to) films, podcasts, sound recordings, web sites or blogs, social media campaigns, apps, artistic installations, public events, performances, design projects, organizing campaigns, and other interventions. The project itself will be accompanied by a paper analysing the academic and/or practical significance of the student?s project. Students entering the first cohort of the project stream will complete the following curriculum: Term 1 (Fall 2023) ? CMNS 848 (Communication and Global Social Justice) ? CMNS Elective Term 2 (Spring 2024) ? CMNS 849 (Communication Research for Social Change) ? CMNS Elective Term 3 (Summer 2024) ? CMNS Directed Readings (with project supervisor) Term 4 (Fall 2024) ?

Over the next few days (including today), each group will be holding their respective meetings for the month. So, if you?re interested in taking part in this initiative, please be sure to sign up today if possible and you will be added to the mailing list and provided with the relevant meeting links. Interested parties can add their contact details to the sign-up sheet here: https://bit.ly/3UHqTcj Information about MAC is included below. Thank you for your interest and support! Aaron Taylor MAC Coordinator * * * CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: MEDIA ACCESS & COPYRIGHT WORKING GROUPS 2022-2023 BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 2021, the Film and Media Studies Association of Canada (FMSAC) established a Media Access and Copyright (MAC) Working Group with a mandate to continue, and possibly expand, FMSAC?s copyright advocacy work and develop guidelines on best practices related to access and use of media for scholarly purposes. Over the 2021-22 academic year, the MAC group discussed a variety of opportunities and concerns that require targeted efforts (some of which fall outside the original MAC mandate). The group identified the following three areas of focus that encompass the opportunities and issues raised: ?1. Advocacy: Advocating for changes to the Canadian Copyright Act 2. Access and Exhibition: Exploring issues and best practices pertaining to accessing and exhibiting media in educational settings 3. Appropriation/Repurposing: Developing guidelines for videographic work that uses fair dealing and other user?s rights provided in copyright legislation.? (2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report, https://bit.ly/macsum, pg. 1) The MAC group made a motion to FSAC that a dedicated working group be created for each of the above areas of focus, to continue work on the recommendations outlined in their 2021-22 final report. This motion was supported at the 2022 FMSAC Annual General Meeting. For each of these working groups, MAC seeks members who will include Black, Indigenous, racialized scholars and makers, as well as LGBTQ+, gender, and regionally diverse scholars and makers. 1) COPYRIGHT ADVOCACY (CA) Mandate: The CA Working Group will focus on collaborative advocacy efforts for changes to the Canadian Copyright Act. Key issues requiring advocacy are outlined in the ?Advocacy? section of the 2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report (https://bit.ly/macsum). Duties: Monthly one-hour meetings over the 2022-23 academic year to devise advocacy strategies and engage in advocacy work. 2) ACCESS & EXHIBITION (AE) Mandate: The AE Working Group will focus on developing best practice guidelines related to the access and exhibition of media for scholarly purposes. Key recommendations for the activities of this group are outlined in the ?Access and Exhibition? section of the 2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report (https://bit.ly/macsum). Duties: Monthly one-hour meetings over the 2022-23 academic year to investigate current and potential practices that facilitate access to, and exhibition of, media for scholarly purposes. The group will also develop related guidelines for use in educational, research and library settings. 3) MEDIA APPROPRIATION & REPURPOSING (MAR) Mandate: The MAR Working Group will develop a best practices guide on lawful appropriation and repurposing of media in educational and research settings. For details on the recommended activities and focus of this group, please see the ?Appropriation/Repurposing? section of the 2021-22 MAC Working Group Summary Report (https://bit.ly/macsum). Duties: Monthly one-hour meetings over the 2022-23 academic year to develop a guide for lawful appropriation and repurposing of media in educational and research contexts. APPLICATION The Working Groups have already held at least one meeting since being constituted in October. So, interested volunteers are encouraged to sign up for any of the above working groups as soon as they can, and (ideally) no later than November 22, 2022: https://bit.ly/3UHqTcj For further information, or to send notification that you have signed up for one or more working groups, please email current MAC coordinators Rumi Graham (grahry at uleth.ca) and Aaron Taylor (aaron.taylor2 at uleth.ca).

Conference themes IAMCR conferences have a main conference theme that is explored from multiple perspectives throughout the conference in plenaries and other moments, including the programmes of the thematic sections and working groups. Additionally, each section and working group also defines some of its own themes, which are described in their individual calls for proposals. Proposals for contributions to the conference are submitted to the sections and working groups and may focus on an aspect of the main conference theme as it relates to the concerns of the section or working group, or address a theme identified by the section or working group. See the calls for proposals of IAMCR's 33 thematic sections and working groups and Flow34 >> Main theme ? Inhabiting the planet: Challenges for media, communication and beyond Read the complete theme description here >> Our times are marked by the epochal changes that societies have experienced since the end of the grand narratives and the disenchantment of the world. Many intellectual frameworks have been proposed to explain (with more or less critical distance) the rapid and deep transformations and evolutions of recent decades. The concepts of radical modernity, risk society, hypermodernity, and social acceleration, among others, reflect different perspectives on these transformations. They ultimately address the fundamental questions at the core of IAMCR 2023: What does it mean to be human in a digital world? What does it mean to build a common future? Over the past decade, alternative media, militant communities, opinion leaders, philosophers and scholars have warned of the irreversible effects of climate change which could make the planet uninhabitable. Others have drawn attention to the rise of stark geopolitical, sociocultural and religious tensions. These prophetic and pessimistic views often refer to structural problems related to things such as access to essential natural resources like water, massive deforestation in South America or Southeast Asia, the proliferation of viruses potentially causing hard-to-control pandemics (Ebola, Covid-19), and local but recurrent conflicts, violent oppression and even genocide. Other voices express strong confidence in the collective capacity to build a path to the future based on virtuous technologies. Whatever the interpretations might be, the digitalization of society and the technological transformation of nature are key problematics that require socio-political debate and governance (Feenberg, 1999, 2002). These are the issues that stand at the heart of IAMCR 2023, which seeks to provide a forum where the international community of media and communication scholars and researchers can reflect on and debate challenges related to five interconnected topics. Keywords associated with each topic are listed below and a more complete discussion of them is included in the theme description. 1. Humanity and progress | Keywords: Commons - Paradigm of cooperation - Big social data - Inclusive creativity - Digital health - Progress vs innovation - Technology and society - Ethics of technology and progress - Privacy, online sociability, digital self - Trends, fashion and social networks - Future, Imaginaries, Representations. 2. Democracy | Keywords: Public action - Citizen action - Digital populism - Digital Activism - Digital citizenship and social movement - Citizen participation/consultation. 3. Media, information and communication | Keywords: Media and cultural industries, platforms - Data journalism, fact-checking, automated journalism - Regime of truth, post-truth - Audience, public, reception practices ? Professional and amateur practices - Advertising, PR, data-marketing - Ethics of algorithms. 4. Cities and territories | Keywords: Smart and sustainable cities - Urban regeneration and urbanization - Open data - Local territories and communities - Short cycle - Urban re-vegetation - Mobilities. 5. Environmental accountability | Keywords: Digital and energy sobriety - Social practices and low-tech - Smart/connected objects and everyday life - Public discourses and ecological transition.

He is survived by his partner, Percy Walton, and son, Chris Dorland. Michael was Professor Emeritus in the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University. He grew up in Montreal and studied in London and Paris. Prior to his arrival to Carleton in 1992, he taught at McGill University, UQAM and Concordia University. Before his academic career, Michael was a journalist, editor, film critic and novelist. Michael was a brilliant scholar. Over the course of his 27-year career, he became known for his outstanding research on Canadian film policy, law and rhetoric, the psy-sciences and expertise, and self-help culture, among other things. His interest in the concept of communication informed his work on how the medical community attempted to describe the effects of concentration camps on Holocaust survivors. Michael?s magnum opus, Cadaverland: Inventing a Pathology for Holocaust Survival?The Limits of Medical Knowledge and Historical Memory (Brandeis University Press, 2009), offers a compelling examination of how French doctors analyzed the impact of the concentration camps on survivors. The book, which took Michael ten years to write, makes important historical, sociological, political and psychological arguments informing the study of the Holocaust. Michael?s previous book, Law, Rhetoric and Irony in the Formation of Canadian Civic Culture (University of Toronto Press, 2002), co-authored with Maurice Charland, was awarded the G.J. Robinson Prize for best book in communication studies. Michael was the editor of the Canadian Journal of Communication (CJC) from 2011 until his retirement in 2018. His editorials at CJC often displayed the wit, intelligence, and love of ideas that permeated his research and teaching. He was also a gifted professor and mentor. Michael taught undergraduate and graduate courses in semiotics, rhetoric, communication theory, and communication history. For many years, he co-led our program?s core doctoral seminar in communication. Michael was beloved by undergraduate and graduate students alike. Michael was erudite, had a great sense of humour, enjoyed a good debate about ideas (preferably over a few bottles of wine) and was gifted in the art of storytelling. His legacy as a scholar and teacher carries on in the work of his former graduate students, many whom have gone on to successful scholarly careers in their own right. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.

Details below, apply here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ol-0DwCaXKWUQclBY-EE49g8gqlbpYrCIDU87mf6olM/edit Thanks, Fenwick Call for Submissions 21st-century AI is very much in its formative stage: It is still unsettled, and is continually being both stabilised and contested by diverse sets of actors: from technologists, startup founders and global companies to policy makers, journalists, and civil society. For some, AI is being positioned as a fix to our social problems, which in turn will change how we live, communicate, work and travel. Others raise substantive concerns that these developments might reinforce inequality, exacerbate the opacity of decision-making processes, and ultimately question human autonomy. We are thus living in a time when the infrastructures and institutions of our everyday lives are being (re)built at the hands of techniques which already elude popular and professional understanding; but while the controversies about the specific pathways to be taken are still visible, we can already perceive elements of closure and institutionalization. Our symposium invites contributions from an international audience to interrogate the shaping of AI. Building on an international collaboration between research teams from Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Canada, we invite presentations that pursue critical engagements with AI?s media representations, policy framings, and scientific debates. Crucially, we also invite epistemic reflections in how we are all Shaping AI, including practice-based research or research-creation. The symposium runs from May 23-24 at the Milieux Institute at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Presentations in person are encourage. Remote participation will be available. We encourage submissions along these following themes: 1. Global, Local, and Frictions of AI governance 2. AI Cultures 3. Media representations of AI 4. Ethics, a Techno-Solution to AI Controversies? 5. Reflexivity and Positionality in AI Labs / Scenes / Collaborations 6. Research Methods after AI 7. Mapping AI Publics 8. Skill Sharing on AI Engagements 9. AI in and through Artistic Practice Admissions will be guided by our desire to broaden our critical cases around shaping AI, encouraging submissions outside EU and Anglocentric contexts. Student submissions are welcome. The symposium?s format encourages discussion with presentations capped at 10 minutes to ensure ample time for discussion. Submissions due 18 January 2023. Abstracts 500 words or less. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please help us spread the word by sharing this announcement with students who may be interested in completing a project-based MA focused on Communication Research for Social Change: [https://media.campaigner.com/media/58/583800/email%20graphic.jpg?id=hrl9p1r] Apply Now: Master of Arts in Communication Research for Social Change SFU's School of Communication is excited to introduce a new 16-month, cohort-based Master of Arts curriculum focused on communication research for social change. Applications for studies beginning in September are due February 15, 2023. MA applicants may now apply to pursue thesis-based training in academic communication research or project-based training in communication research for social change. From the climate crisis to the rise of far-right ideologies and the unprecedented rise of social inequality, our world faces a number of urgent threats. Communication research for social change seeks to understand and confront these and problems and a range of others, often through collaboration with communities and progressive organizations. The School of Communication?s tradition of critical and impactful research and teaching is one of its strengths and a unique feature of this curriculum. We define social change broadly and inclusively to encompass a wide variety of students and projects across a spectrum ranging from pragmatic projects to progressive and critical interventions to radical imaginaries. As activists, advocates, critics, practitioners, and professionals, students in the MA project stream will learn to apply critical theoretical and methodological approaches in research projects addressing real-world problems. Students in this MA stream will take five courses over three terms and work closely with faculty supervisors who are experts in their fields to create their capstone projects. MA projects may entail a variety of media forms, including audio, apps, film and video, performance, print, social media, and web sites, among other forms. The program culminates with a symposium in which students present and discuss their project and its outcomes with their peers, supervisors, and others.

Montr?al, Canada 20-22 June Link IAMHIST-website: Call for Papers: IAMHIST Conference 2023 | This is an in-person conference that will take place on site in Montreal. Limited live-online options will be offered to those unable to travel. Please specify in your abstract if you would need this option. Deadline for submissions (20-minute presentations, panels of three 20-minute papers, or practice-based research/workshops): 16 January 2023 IAMHIST is the International Association for Media and History, an organization of scholars, filmmakers, broadcasters and archivists dedicated to historical enquiry into film, radio, TV and other media. Archives have always played a considerable role for research and creation, especially in film and media studies. By virtue of their form and content, archives put at the forefront questions of possible and alternative historiographies and the shaping of memories and invites reflection on forgetting. Ranging from censorship to emancipation, archives are often source and reason for debate, powerplays and struggles as they can be object of censorship, but also ways of emancipation. They are not only sites of memory, but also sites and signs of social and cultural change. There has been an increased scholarly interest in archives since the arrival of digital tools and the Web, and the concept of the archive itself has been questioned, discussed, and redefined. This conference aims to revisit these archival transformations by bringing into focus archives? neglected spots, notably in relation to their accessibility and ecological dimensions. How do existing archival institutions, associations or private collectors and archivists address technology and media transformations? What are the current and future challenges of archival research? What type of ?new? archives can be imagined and created in relation to technology and media transformations? The IAMHIST Conference will be particularly interested in proposals dealing with media archives (film, radio, video, television, Web, photographs, etc.) but also warmly welcomes archives that use media and technology institutionally (museums, associations, vernacular archives etc.). We invite scholars, archivists, practitioners, and artists to send a proposal that concerns one or more of the following topics: * Archives and accessibility * Archives, restitution, and memory * Archives and social justice * Archives and ecology / sustainable archives * Archives and decolonization * Case studies of archival use in media history research * Archives and (media-) storage * Reuse of archives in research, artistic projects, and practice * Archival material in film and arts * Reflections on how to archive research/scholarly activities * Vernacular, private, and institutional archives * History of media archives * Financing and funding of archives * Internationalization of archives * Local and regional archives * Archives, memory, and nostalgia * Archives and emotion The deadline for submissions is 16 January 2023. You can submit proposals here*: iamhistconference2023 at gmail.com Individual paper proposals should consist of a title, an abstract of 200 to 300 words and a short biography. We especially welcome proposals from early career researchers and practitioners. Panel proposals (of three papers) are welcome; they need to be registered by one individual presenter of the panel who must include the title of the panel and all paper abstracts and short bios. We also appreciate proposals for archival, artistic or multimedia/practice-based projects or workshops. You are welcome to discuss their suitability with the conference organizers in advance of the deadline. Notifications of decisions will be sent alongside additional information on travel and accommodation by early February 2023; registration will be open by that day. Registration fees will be kept as low as possible and depend on several funding opportunities that the organizers are currently seeking. Conference attendees are expected to be members of IAMHIST ? there will be an opportunity to join at the time of registration.

La prochaine conf?rence biannuelle de l?association se tiendra ? Montr?al, au Canada, du 20 au 22 juin 2023, sur le th?me ARCHIVES [du] FUTUR(es) Les archives ont toujours jou? un r?le important dans les pratiques de recherche et de cr?ation, particuli?rement dans le domaine du cin?ma et des media. Les archives permettent d?explorer des questions portant entre autres sur l?historiographie et ses alternatives et sur la constitution des m?moires, en plus d?initier des r?flexions sur l?oubli, l?entrave ou la disparition. En faisant l?objet de censure et en participant ? des formes d??mancipation, les archives sont au c?ur de d?bats et de luttes. Lieux de m?moire, elles sont aussi lieux et signes de transformations sociales et culturelles. L?int?r?t envers les archives s?est renouvel? depuis le d?veloppement des outils num?riques et du Web qui ont contribu? ? de nouveaux questionnements sur le concept d?archive. Cette conf?rence a pour objectif de prolonger ces questionnements sur les transformations de l?archive et vise plus sp?cifiquement ? interroger les nouveaux enjeux li?s ? l?accessibilit? et ? l??cologie de l?archive. Comment les archives existantes sont-elles affect?es par les transformations technologiques et m?diatiques? Quelles archives ?nouvelles? ces transformations permettent-elles d?imaginer ou de cr?er? Cette conf?rence de l?IAMHIST portera tout particuli?rement sur les archives m?diatiques (cin?ma, radio, vid?o, t?l?vision, Web, photographie) mais ?galement sur leurs usages dans un contexte institutionnel (dans les mus?es, par des associations, dans le cadre d?archives citoyennes ou vernaculaires, etc.). Nous invitions les personnes ?uvrant dans les domaines de la recherche, des archives, des arts et des media ? envoyer des propositions portant sur l?un des sujets suivants : * Archives et accessibilit? * Archives, restitution et m?moire * Archives et justice sociale * Archives et ?cologie / archives durables * Archives et d?colonisation * ?tudes de cas sur l?usage des archives en histoire des m?dias * Archives et stockage * Les archives dans les films et dans les arts * R?utilisation des archives dans des projets de recherche, artistiques ou d?autres pratiques * Le mat?riel d?archives dans le film et les arts * Archives vernaculaires, priv?es et institutionnelles * Histoire des archives m?diatiques * Financement des archives * Internationalisation des archives * Archives locales et r?gionales * Archives, m?moire et nostalgie * Archives et ?motions La date limite pour soumettre les propositions est le 16 janvier 2023 ? l?adresse suivante* : iamhistconference2023 at gmail.com Les communications individuelles doivent inclure un titre, un r?sum? de 200 ? 300 mots et courte biographie. Les propositions de panel (trois communications) sont encourag?es et doivent ?tre pr?sent?es par une seule personne, en incluant le titre du panel ainsi que les r?sum?s des communications et les biographies de toutes les personnes participantes. Nous encourageons ?galement les personnes int?ress?es ? proposer des projets artistiques, archivistiques ou multim?dia ainsi que des ateliers et ? contacter l??quipe d?organisation (iamhistconference2023 at gmail.com) en amont de la date butoir afin de discuter de l?inclusion de ces projets dans le programme de la conf?rence et de leur faisabilit? sur le plan pratique.

Launched in 1999, the joint graduate program in Communication and Culture ("ComCult") is a unique partnership between Toronto Metropolitan University and York University. With access to both Toronto Metropolitan and York, our students benefit from some of the best academic and creative resources available at any Canadian university, including media production facilities, archival collections, on-line and library resources and the many collections, institutions, and creative industries in the region. Our students come from diverse social sciences, humanities, media, business, cultural production and fine arts backgrounds. Our program offers a rich curriculum that supports this diversity. Our MA and PhD students pursue their coursework and research by majoring in one or more interdisciplinary streams: * Media and Culture: the confluence of media and culture and their relationships within social systems. * Politics and Policy: the critical role of the state and civil society in the development of communication systems, the production and distribution of culture, and issues of societal power. * Technology in Practice: the development, application, and influence of historical, current and emerging communication technologies in cultural production, both personal and organizational. We are proud of the quality of our student research and academic achievements. On our website, you can read a sampling of student project abstracts. Also, visit our People page to review a selection of faculty and student research profiles. We offer competitive funding packages, teaching and research assistant work opportunities and strong support for external scholarship application success. There are for-credit field placement options for master?s students as well as opportunities to conduct scholarly research-creation and multi-modal scholarship projects at both the master?s and doctoral level. More than 100 faculty from both York and Toronto Metropolitan are eligible to teach and supervise in the program with links to dozens of leading labs and research centres. Our faculty are widely published in academic forums, have had their creative work exhibited at juried festivals and galleries, and have received significant research funding. Others maintain professional experience in industry, or bring a professional background to their work as professors. ComCult alumni have found success throughout Canada and around the world across many sectors, including: academia, arts and culture management, policy, public service, journalism, marketing communications, publishing, photography, project management, freelance writing and editing, non-profit administration, law, film, and design. Toronto is a vibrant, global city and is one of the safest urban centres in the world. The city's central location means that you will have access to many resources, including adjunct faculty and visiting lecturers and exposure to many culture- and communication-based industries and activities.

We thank the authors for their excellent contributions to the two issues in this volume, which marks a decade of communication +1, and we are excited to share these pieces. Please find below a description of the new issue (as well as the previous issue companion). communication +1's 10-year anniversary: A Decade of Futures (of Communication) Edited by Zachary McDowell and Peter Royal What we proposed for this collection was to return again to explore the boundaries and the future of communication as an area of study and as an interdisciplinary and intersectional space of inquiry. communication +1's first issue, Futures of Communication (2012), did just that by addressing a wide variety of topics. The objective to address the "futures" of communication as a field of inquiry was and is not to identify research topics that may be popular or fashionable; rather, it is in the (re)establishment of "communication" as an enduring theoretical concept that cuts across the humanities and social sciences. The future of "communication" therefore designates its significance guaranteed by its interdisciplinary promise (but also arrives with its own concerns). What we offer here is a continuation of the belief that the question of ?futures? is not a one-time endeavor, but instead a question that needs to be returned to time and time again, particularly in this age of changing media landscapes and new interdisciplinary discourse. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/vol9/iss2/ Issue 2 (Out now) Briankle Chang - No Thing is not a Medium Greg Wise - Communication + Surveillance Lawrence Grossberg - Stories in Unlivable Times Cindy Tekobbe - Indigenous Communication Sean Johnson Andrews - What is hegemony now?

About the Journal The aim of communication +1 is to promote new approaches to and open new horizons in the study of communication from an interdisciplinary perspective. We are particularly committed to promoting research that seeks to constitute new areas of inquiry and to explore new frontiers of theoretical activities linking the study of communication to both established and emerging research programs in the humanities, social sciences, and arts. Other than the commitment to rigorous scholarship, communication +1 sets no specific agenda. Its primary objective is to create a space for thoughtful experiments and for communicating these experiments. communication +1 is an open access journal supported by University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries and the Department of Communication communicationplusone.org.

We seek to draw attention to the transformative effect that crises past and present have had on film exhibition as a mode of cultural practice, a set of institutions and actors, and an object of research in film and media studies. In this dossier, we hope to investigate the concept of crisis in the study of film exhibition and the crises that have altered cinemagoing practices over time, opening up opportunities to analyze a broad array of historical and cultural impacts in the process. We have circulated this call to this list before, but wanted to recirculate it with the reminder that our deadline for submissions is January 15, 2023 We look forward to publishing new historical and contemporary research related to our theme, considered broadly, and related to geographic regions around the globe. The full call for papers is reproduced below and can be found here in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. We would like to invite association members to submit their research for inclusion in the issue. We would also greatly appreciate it if you would share our with scholars you know who are producing new work in the languages published by Aniki. Founded in May 2013, Aniki is an international and interdisciplinary journal published online twice a year on behalf of the Portuguese Association of Researchers of the Moving Image (AIM). It accepts original manuscripts in Portuguese and English (our issue will also be accepting essays written in Spanish), on cinema as well as television, video, digital cultures, sound, music, and the moving image. Research essays for our issue will undergo double-blind peer review. Alongside these essays, the journal also publishes interviews, book reviews, conference reports, critical reviews of art exhibitions, and reports of international film festivals. Thank you for any help you can provide in circulating this call! Best, Charlotte Orzel (she/her) Doctoral Candidate, Film and Media Studies University of California, Santa Barbara **** The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a generational crisis for film exhibition around the world, as movie theaters have been forced to close their doors temporarily or permanently, alter their modes of presentation and the parameters of the theatrical experience, and otherwise transform their operations. But COVID-19 is certainly not the first crisis in film exhibition, nor the only one that is currently in progress. For the editors of this special section of Aniki, the pandemic has instead drawn attention to the transformative effect that crises past and present have had on film exhibition as a mode of cultural practice, a set of institutions and actors, and an object of research in film and media studies. In this dossier, we investigate the concept of crisis in the study of film exhibition and the crises that have altered cinemagoing practices over time, opening up opportunities to analyze a broad array of historical and cultural impacts in the process. In this, we follow the work of authors like Laura Baker (1999), Phil Hubbard (2003), and Gary D. Rhodes (2011), who have studied risk, danger, vice, and violence at the cinema; in addition to these issues, we hope to illuminate crisis in its philosophical, existential, and disciplinary forms. In soliciting and selecting papers, we seek to develop an international scope on these issues that is truly global, while remaining open to submissions that study cinemagoing from any geographic location. Film exhibition?s death has been declared many times in the hundred and twenty years preceding its most recent existential crisis. In assembling this section, we do not wish to replicate narratives of exhibition?s long decay or inevitable demise; instead, we root our development of this dossier in a consciousness of film exhibition as a longstanding cultural experience that has persisted in part due to its changeability, adaptability, and its modulation of crisis. While the exhibition industry is heterogeneous and its fate is still indeterminate, looking beyond exhibition as a highly systematized commercial practice helps us to expand our understanding of the effects of exhibition?s historical crises. In this, we recognize the work of scholars like Anat Helman (2003), Nicholas Balaisis (2014), Donna De Ville (2015), Solomon Waliaula (2018), and James Burns (2021), who have drawn attention to cinemagoing practices that often take shape outside the traditional movie theater industry or film festival circuit. This framing does not preclude moments of loss, degradation, or failure in particular modes of cinemagoing, but nonetheless allows us to grasp crises as coinciding with moments of transition and adaptation instead of the dead ends so often predicted in popular narratives about theatrical exhibition. This moment of crisis in theatrical exhibition coincides with corresponding crises in film studies and film historiography. The first issue concerns archival access and research. Since the beginning of the pandemic in late 2019, access to global archives has vacillated between impossible and unpredictable. This has had a deleterious and global impact on film historiography and, therefore, the study of theatrical exhibition and moviegoing. In addition, inequities within government and other support of these archives have led to local, regional, and national crises for scholars seeking archival materials. Other crises within the study of film exhibition are evergreen. Recent exhibition research, such as that done by scholars of ?new cinema history,? has made major strides in research on cinemagoing forward within film studies (Maltby, Biltereyst and Meers 2011; 2019). But the continued US- and Eurocentrism of film exhibition research in which the largest number of monographs, edited collections, and peer-reviewed articles are written in English and/or focused on issues related to exhibition or moviegoing in Europe or North America is an issue that requires redress. Work by Luciana Corr?a de Ara?jo (2013), Laura Isabel Serna (2014), Nolwenn Mingant (2015), Lakshmi Srinivas (2016), Laura Fair (2018), and Jasmine Trice (2021) offer compelling examples of the possibilities for global cinema research. Even outside Europe, the United States, and Canada, however, English is still the lingua franca in the large cache of research written on this topic, such as in work from or on Australia, India, and South Africa. Research by Rodrigo Fagundes Bouillet (2020) that brings film exhibition history closer to ethnic-racial relations studies in Brazil, and by Diana Paladino (2018) and Pedro Butcher (2019), on Latin-American histories of film distribution, suggests emerging efforts in this area that we aim to further. With these geographical, linguistic, structural, and other issues in mind, we seek new works from around the world that see an opportunity within our disciplinary and global crises to generate and disseminate new questions, new arguments, and new vistas for research. We also hope to take advantage of the transnational backgrounds of our editors who hail from Brazil, Canada, and the United States and our venue in a multilingual journal to seek new foci and new research written in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. For us, the film exhibition crises of the past, present, and future and the internal crises of archival access and Eurocentrism present opportunities and not just challenges for the creation of new directions and new models of research on film exhibition. We seek new work on moments of crises for specific exhibition venues: - Drive-ins - Repertory and second-run theaters - Arthouse theaters - Microcinema or transitory cinema spaces - Multi- and/or megaplexes - Nickelodeons - Movie palaces - Rural and quotidian moviegoing - Segregated movie houses Or specific movie theater-related issues such as: - Concurrence with other leisure activities - Adaptation to crises (economic, health, social, etc.) - Distributor versus exhibitors? interests - Content availability, theatrical windows - Exhibition technologies - Local films and local theaters - Preservation of materials and/or sites - Adaptation of theatrical spaces to multiple uses - Race, gender, and/or class in cinemagoing practices We welcome any and all soft inquiries about new or ongoing research that might fit our special issue. Mostly, we are seeking a wide variety of scholars and scholarship to help drive new directions and new questions related to film exhibition precisely at the moment when audiences are rediscovering the importance of collective viewing and in which the film and film exhibition industry are charting a path forward. How might this moment encourage us to think broadly about the crises of the past? How might it encourage us to think broadly about the crises of the moment in the way journalists, executives, and other scholars have over the past three years?

(Chess & Consalvo, 2022), can the same be said in the field of communications? Games have a long tradition within the discipline, with ties to cybernetics and psychological concepts ranging from ?meta-communication? to flow. The medium of games has also firmly embedded itself into a vast array of communications fields: journalists, politicians, public relations and advertising professionals, and even educators all turn to games, not to mention their omnipresence in popular culture and heavy integration in mobile devices and other technologies. Beyond this, games provide invaluable insight into past, contemporary, and future cultural, psychological, and economic concerns. Conversations about virtual worlds (e.g., the metaverse), toxicity and harassment (e.g., trolls; QAnon), screen time, and ?Zoom fatigue? all find traction within the ambit of games. They are focal points for debates regarding violence and gender, online cultures, labor, and technological innovation. And there are even those who question whether this subfield should remain a separate area of study at all (e.g., Gekker, 2021). This preconference aims to bridge disciplinary divides and emphasize collaboration by bringing together practitioners and scholars whose work highlights the intersection of game, media, and communication studies; showcases novel approaches to these fields; and imagines a future research agenda that brings together diverse objects of study, methodologies, and theories. Our goal is to both open issues surrounding games to wider fields (and vice versa) and to showcase how game studies can act as vital testing grounds for issues of culture and society. We also aim to draw a wide range of scholars and practitioners, especially those who are junior and emerging, those whose work has not found a clear disciplinary home or just lightly addresses games and play, and those who want to explore what games and play means for communications. In this way, we seek to foster interdisciplinary connections and open up conversations around what game studies has been and can be. Taking place at the University of Toronto?s Mississauga campus, home of the Syd Bolton video game collection with over 14,000 titles and 5,000 magazines. This preconference will also be an opportunity to draw as much from the past connections between games and communications as the present and the future. We are particularly interested in work from graduate students and early career scholars, as they represent the future of this field. If you?re unsure if your topic would work for our preconference, please reach out to us! References Chess, S., & Consalvo, M. (2022). The future of media studies is game studies.

Online marketplaces, social networks, cloud providers, streaming services, and service delivery platforms all rake in record and increasing profits as they continue to embed themselves ever more deeply into public and private life. At the same time, dissatisfaction with the platform economy status quo is growing internationally. Across policy areas like content moderation, competition, labor law, and data protection, governments around the world are developing new rules to tackle troubling forms of outsized political, cultural, and infrastructural platform power. Civil society groups are mobilizing creative transnational campaigns in an effort to pressure firms into making changes to their services; tech workers are organizing, creating unions, striking, and staging high-profile walkouts; and firms themselves are proposing new institutions and processes for self-regulation. From many directions, we are seeing growing pressure to make platforms more sustainable, trustworthy and democratic. In a time marked by pressing transnational social, political, ecological and economic crises, how can researchers ? through critical, conceptually creative and empirically-driven scholarship ? better examine, and even re-imagine, the constantly developing role that platform providers, big and small, play in society and politics? How can platform governance research more explicitly engage with, and connect to, the vital political questions of our time? Attend the 2023 Platform Governance Research Network Conference The Platform Governance Research Network brings together researchers interested in ?platform governance?, broadly defined. From online labor markets and locally-tethered service delivery platforms, to social networks and cloud providers, we are interested in highlighting cutting-edge conceptual and empirical work that engages with the politics and policy of the 21st century ?platformized? internet. We are interdisciplinary, and welcome relevant submissions from a wide range of researchers (who need not be affiliated with academic institutions). In particular, we?re interested in: * Empirical studies of platform governance from the micro to the macro, utilizing a range of qualitative as well as quantitative, experimental, and/or computational methods. Suitable topics might include, but not be limited to: analyses of the practices of commercial or community platform rule-making and norm-setting; systems-based studies of automated decision-making across various types of platforms; more focused explorations of specific topical issues such as political advertising, disinformation, or copyright. * Policy-oriented analyses of private and governmental efforts to regulate platforms across the broad categories of online content, competition policy, labour, data protection, and more. Proposals might include comparative policy analyses or detailed case studies of specific regulatory frameworks and approaches. Research that focuses on under-examined cases, regulatory episodes, or regions is especially welcome. * Conceptual or theoretical insights that highlight gaps in the current public or scholarly conceptions of platform governance, as well as normatively oriented work that engages with important questions, visions, and notions for/of platform governance going forward. Submissions might evaluate critical perspectives across a range of scholarly traditions, from science and technology studies to postcolonial and critical race theory, gender and sexuality studies, or political economy. * The meta-aspects of scholarly work as it relates to major technology platforms, and the relations between policy, academia, and civil society in the emerging platform governance research and policy landscape. Possible submissions might include work on the best ethical practices for collaborating (or not) with industry, ways to secure privacy-preserving data access for researchers, or strategies used by civil society advocates to push industry and governments in more just directions. Beyond highlighting the current research landscape, our goal is to identify the major limitations facing researchers from different subfields and spark collaborations that strive to move beyond extant limitations and silos. We are particularly keen on incorporating multiple perspectives from researchers located all around the world, so we encourage submissions from underrepresented groups and diverse cultural and geographic backgrounds. We are especially interested in perspectives outside of U.S. and European contexts and will strive to accommodate multiple participant timezones in our programme. Submission Guidelines We are accepting extended abstracts of 800-1000 words until December 18.

Host: Data Justice Lab Registration fees: ?100 / ?75 (early bird) ?75 / ?50 students (early bird) Data justice has continued to gain traction as a useful framework for engaging with the implications of the growing emphasis on datafication across social and public life. Yet we still struggle with understanding the impacts and ramifications of the rapid turn to data infrastructures on the ground and how people are responding. We are too often limited by speculation or a focus on particular technologies that lack insights from lived experiences. Moreover, when impact and responses are discussed, they are often centred on the individual dimension over the collective one, even as these technologies come to shape and shift the make-up and meaning of communities and groups? and thereby politics. What, then, shall we make of collective experiences in the datafied society? In what ways are people and communities impacted by the growing use of data in society, and what are their responses? How do we study and conceptualise this effectively? What are alternative ways of thinking and organising datafication? And what are the implications for data justice? This two-day conference will explore impacts, lived experiences and forms of resistance in relation to datafication. Hosted by the Data Justice Lab at Cardiff University?s School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC) in the UK, it will bring together international scholars, practitioners, activists, and community groups to discuss the meaning and practice of social justice and collective experiences in a datafied society. Speakers include: Mirca Madianou, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Carolina Botero Cabrera, Karisma, Colombia Catherine D?Ignazio, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US Patrick Williams, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Andrea Quijada, University of New Mexico, US (with Virginia Eubanks) We welcome both paper presentations and 90-minute practical workshops.

New Perspectives from Africa" CALL FOR CHAPTERS Communications and Social Change in the 21st Century. New Perspectives from Africa. To be published by Routledge Editors 1. Manfred Kofi Antwi Asuman, PhD ? University of Western Ontario, Canada. 2. Theodora Dame Adjin-Tettey, PhD ? University of Ghana, Ghana. 3. Modestus Fosu, PhD ? University of Media, Arts and Communications (Ghana Institute of Journalism), Ghana. Background and Objectives Despite the growing body of knowledge and research in communication practice and social change worldwide, much of the research have been focused on and in the Global North (Ekdale et al, 2022a). Even from the turn of the 21st Century when research and publications on development and communications began to focus on Africa with some emphasis, they have been led by principal investigators from or affiliated to institutions in the Global North (Ekdale et al, 2022b; Ekdale, 2021, Cheruiyot, 2021). For example, an important work by Okigbo and Eribo (Eds) (2004), Development and Communication in Africa and Servaes (Ed) (2008), Communication for development and social change, although focused on Africa, have most of the contributors being non-African and/or African scholars living outside Africa. And the trend has largely persisted over the decades. The above goes to illustrate the trudging trajectory of the academic study and profession of communications on the African continent; the growth of this field has not been all rosy. The positive role of communication in development, no matter how construed, has not been in doubt (Mohammed and Olabode, 2007). And the role of communication to either advance or inhibit development, to manipulate minds and behaviours to achieve various purposes, among others, constantly play out in human societies, not less in Africa, where the need for communication-led approaches, strategies and initiatives are regarded as avenues that can advance or negate crucial social, economic and political development (Okinda, 2009). Contemporary experience of Africa is lucid about how the media through communications has been used as a propaganda tool by political leaders, politically exposed persons and their collaborators. In other cases, mass media and communications have been used as weapons to stifle minorities and clamp down on different and opposing views (De Vreese., Esser, and Hopmann, 2022), much as they can also advance socio-political and economic transformations if properly contextualised, understood and appropriately harnessed. This book aims to capture case studies, original research and essays on how communication has affected social change in theory and practice since the turn of the millennium (year 2000), and how it can continue to do so into the future. The book?s orientation is to provide an opportunity for African based communication researchers and academics to share their research with the African academic community, students and the global academic community generally. This book will promote the most appropriate socio-cultural contexts for the publication of research and knowledge about communications and social change on the African continent. It will also encourage a deeper appreciation and understanding of the various issues and arguments raised in the various chapters of the book, as authors and contributors will have the necessary background to address their arguments and situate them within necessary socio-cultural African contexts. This book aims to explore the practice of communications both as a profession and as an academic discipline, thereby aiming to give credence to the theoretical motivations for the study of communications and the professional foundations for the practice of communications in Africa. Additionally, this collection aims to confront how the growing democratic political dispensation of nations in Sub-Saharan Africa is shaping, influencing and encouraging social change communications, through the training of professionals, the liberalisation of the media, the development and establishment of broadcasting enterprises and how the media is shaping how people participate in the issues and discussions that bring them development. The book will provide insights on how communities in Africa use their agency through communications to demand accountability from their leaders and elected representatives. Furthermore, the book aims to provide knowledge on how communications is practised within indigenous African contexts, how communication is taught as an academic discipline and how communications is used to stimulate change within African contexts, with a specific focus on sub-Saharan African communities, African professional settings and citizen-government relations. The book will equip university lecturers, students and researchers with a compilation of experiences, activities, case studies and essays on communication theory as well as teaching and research methodology on communication studies grounded within the ontological and epistemic realities of Africa. There are very few books on the market presently that focus on this body of knowledge in the African context even though the field of communication studies has seen an increase in scholarship globally within the last couple of years (Ekdale et al, 2022a). The book will be a valuable companion to academic or industry personnel who are interested in communications training, global media studies, African cultural studies, and anthropology. Scope and Topics of Interest We welcome chapter proposals in the form of case studies, essays and original research in, but not limited to the following areas of communications, society and social change.
