CALL FOR PAPERS COMMUNICATION POLICY IN THE TIME OF PANDEMICS: HARNESSING THE POWER OF ICT?S FOR HEALTH Workshop Date: Monday, May 29, 2023 The global pandemic in the last three years has emphasized as never before the beneficial role that the media and information networks can play in disseminating essential health information, coordinating social responses, and addressing the needs of the most vulnerable sections of society including the elderly and persons with disabilities. But at the same time, it has also raised alarm about the potential of rumor mongers, profiteers, and purveyors of misinformation to exploit vulnerabilities in social media networks to wreak havoc with health initiatives. Both these aspects of information and communication networks, positive and negative, have foregrounded the importance of framing well-conceived and -implemented laws, policies, and programs to enable media and communications role to play their rightful role in the next, inevitable, health crisis. What policy responses can be put in place to ensure the pro-active disclosure of information, and simultaneously what safeguards should be implemented to protect the privacy and security of health information; what rules, if any, can we implement against the spread of misleading information on social media and procedures for weeding out harmful and malicious posts? How can we promote the resilience, security, and responsiveness of health information networks, indeed all communication networks? What tools of public policy may be utilized ? for example, public communication campaigns, funding, legislation, and regulatory rulemaking, or simply the bully pulpit, to implement these initiatives? We invite papers that examine media and information policy in heath crises, as well as in ongoing public health issues. Policy is defined broadly, including government policies, regulations and laws and the policies of corporations. We particularly encourage international comparisons, including contrasting approaches to social media policy adopted by national governments. Interested scholars are invited to submit a complete paper or a 500-word abstract. The Institute for Information Policy (IIP) at Penn State University proposes to conduct this workshop in collaboration with the Global Communication Governance Lab at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) and the York University/TMU Joint Graduate Program in Communication and Culture. The IIP has conducted twenty-one workshops since 2011 on various aspects of information and telecommunications policy, including several in partnership with leading universities such as the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Fordham, and George Washington University, and four as ICA pre-conferences in San Diego (2017), Prague (2018), Washington DC (2019) and the Gold Coast (2020) (virtual). Papers presented in the Workshop will be considered for publication in the IIP?s Journal of Information Policy, an open access, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal, published by Penn State University Press and archived in the Duke University Repository. Workshop: Communication Policy in the Time of Pandemics Date: Monday, May 29, 2023, Morning and Afternoon sessions. Place: Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), Rogers Communication Centre, 80 Gould Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5B 2M7 Submissions: Papers or Abstracts are due by January 16, 2023. Authors of selected Papers and Abstracts will be notified by January 30, 2023. Full papers based on invited Abstracts are due Monday, May 14.

We are pleased to invite you to our forthcoming hybrid symposium at the University of Huddersfield "Future Content Creators: Creating a Sustainable Future for Social Media Content Creation in the UK" on Thursday 12th January 2023. How can content creators, social platform companies, legacy television broadcasters, regulators, and other industry organisations work together to build a sustainable future for social media content creation in the UK? Content creation for social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook is a crucial part of the creative economy. Yet despite the low barriers to entry, creators still struggle to break into the sector, while broadcasters constantly try to keep up with new technological trends and revenue streams. Speakers from screen industry and digital platform companies like the BBC, YouTube, ITV, Channel 4, Screen Yorkshire, Black Creators Matter, and more will come together with content creators and current academics in the field for a series of panels exploring business models, production challenges, monetisation, skills, training, career pathways, and working conditions. Together, we will ask, What new skills and training are needed to facilitate career progression in content creation? How can industry stakeholders benefit from the creative potential of creators and ensure diversity and inclusivity in their industries? This is an opportunity to share business strategies, network with other industry stakeholders and creators, and build a vibrant community of creators in the UK's diverse regions. For remote attendance for viewing on MS Teams, the event will be livestreamed, so please register here to receive a Teams link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/4f86ff78-4e9d-4387-b750-6235ded3f31f at b52e9fda-0691-4585-bdfc-5ccae1ce1890 To attend in person if you are in the region, the event is free, and you can register on Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creating-a-sustainable-future-for-social-media-content-creation-in-the-uk-tickets-460369295957?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=escb The overall aim of the event is to bring together academics, legacy broadcasters, social media platform companies, content creators, regulators, and other industry organisations to explore how we might work together to build a sustainable and diverse future for social media content creation in the UK.

Due 18 January 2023 On behalf of our international Shaping AI team, please consider applying to our symposium on Re-Shaping AI in Montreal. Details below, apply here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ol-0DwCaXKWUQclBY-EE49g8gqlbpYrCIDU87mf6olM/edit 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...

We are excited to announce the publication of Erving Goffman?s remarkable 1953 dissertation, Communication Conduct in an Island Community. Canadian-born Erving Goffman (1922?1982) was the twentieth century?s most important sociologist writing in English. His 1953 dissertation is published here for the first time, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth. The study, based on fieldwork on a remote Scottish island, presents in embryonic form the full spread of Goffman?s thought. Framed as a ?report on a study of conversational interaction,? the dissertation lingers on the modest talk of island ?crofters.? It is trademark Goffman: ambitious, unconventional in form, and brimmed with big-picture insight. The thesis is that social order is made and re-made in communication?the ?interaction order? he re-visited in a famous and final talk before his 1982 death. The dissertation is, as Yves Winkin writes in a new introduction, the ?Rosetta stone for his entire work.? It was here, in 360 dense pages, that Goffman revealed, quietly, his peerless sensitivity to the invisible wireframes of everyday life. The book is available online, and as a free download in PDF and ePub. A paperback version is also available. Communication Conduct in an Island Community appears in the Public Domain series. Scholars interested in proposing volumes in this or other series are encouraged to reach out with a query. You can learn more about mediastudies.press, including our operations and OA principles, on our site. The press is a member of the Open Book Collective and the ScholarLed consortium, and also publishes the History of Media Studies journal.

Montr?al Les pratiques ?cof?ministes: enjeux m?thodologiques et ?pist?mologiques [cid:a22d915b-4507-493e-8c0e-bcb4c429853f] Ch?res et chers coll?gues, 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 troisi?me s?minaire de l'ann?e 2022-2023 aura lieu le vendredi 27 janvier entre 9h et 12h (15h ? 18h ? Paris), sous le titre Les pratiques ?cof?ministes: enjeux m?thodologiques et ?pist?mologiques. Il sera possible d'assister au s?minaire sur zoom et ?galement en pr?sentiel ?

Un lien vous sera envoy? la veille du s?minaire. Le s?minaire est gratuit et ouvert ? toutes et tous! ? cette occasion, nous accueillerons : * Genevi?ve Pruvost, directrice de recherche au CNRS, sociologue du travail et du genre au Centre d'?tudes des mouvements sociaux * Marie-Anne Casselot, doctorante en philosophie f?ministe ? l?Universit? Laval. R?sum?s des communications: Genevi?ve Pruvost : L'observation ? la loupe du genre de la fabrique quotidienne. Approches ?cof?ministes Fin des soci?t?s paysannes, cuisines ?quip?es, b?tonisation des terres arables, effacement des savoir-faire et cosmogonies autochtones, ignorance des rythmes du monde vivant? Ces ph?nom?nes divers que l?on apprend aujourd?hui ? d?plorer sont bel et bien li?s, nous disent depuis un demi-si?cle des th?oriciennes ?cof?ministes, critiques de la modernit? industrielle. C?est ? leurs pens?es, m?connues en France, ainsi qu?aux le?ons existentielles et politiques qu?il convient d?en tirer, qu?est consacr? cet ouvrage. L?auteure explore les alternatives ?cologiques et anticapitalistes contemporaines pour d?montrer que la vie quotidienne est un terrain politique fondateur. Sans politique du quotidien, sans reconstruction collective et radicale de notre subsistance, il n?y aura pas de soci?t? ?galitaire ni ?cologique. Contrairement aux id?es re?ues, ce n?est pas la g?n?ralisation du salariat qui a permis d?acc?der ? la soci?t? de consommation et au confort appareill?, mais le colonialisme et le travail domestique f?minin. Une autre organisation politique de la vie et des rapports ? la nature est possible. ? condition d??tre redistribu?, ancr? dans une communaut? en prise avec un biotope et des usages, le travail de subsistance ainsi repens? devient un facteur d??mancipation. La fabrique du quotidien appara?t alors pour ce qu?elle est : un enjeu r?volutionnaire. Marie-Anne Casselot: Les ?cof?minismes : des m?thodologies militantes et multidisciplinaires Les ?cof?minismes sont avant tout un ensemble des mouvements militants d?non?ant les cons?quences aggrav?es de la crise climatique sur les femmes, les personnes racis?es, les animaux et les ?cosyst?mes. Ils travaillent ? faire reconna?tre les effets d?l?t?res du d?veloppement et de l?industrialisation sur les modes de vie des populations des Suds et leur subsistance. Les mouvements ?cof?ministes mettent en lumi?re l?interconnexion entre les syst?mes d?oppression en s?inscrivant dans les luttes pour la justice environnementale, et en solidarit? avec celles pour la d?colonisation des populations afrodescendantes et autochtones. En ce sens, les ?cof?minismes sont radicalement intersectionnels. Dans la constellation ?cof?ministe existe ?galement des lectures antimodernes de l?histoire occidentale : c?est-?-dire une forte critique du cart?sianisme et de la vision m?caniste de la nature chez Carolyn Merchant, ainsi qu?une d?construction du dualisme philosophique et de la ? logique du ma?tre ? chez Val Plumwood. Ces ?cof?ministes montrent que l?association entre les femmes et la nature a permis une naturalisation des femmes et f?minisation de la nature dans la vision cart?sienne et m?caniste du monde moderne. Ces deux entit?s ont ?t? per?ues comme exploitables, ce qui a servi de justification pour leur asservissement. Bien que la volont? de ? d?naturaliser ? des femmes propres aux f?ministes de la deuxi?me vague f?t n?cessaire pour faire reconna?tre la subjectivit? et la citoyennet? de ces derni?res, cela a ?galement reconduit une coupure entre les ?tres humains et le monde vivant propre ? la vision m?caniste de la nature. Par cons?quent, les diff?rentes postures ?cof?ministes contemporaines op?rent un geste de reclaim, selon le terme d??milie Hache, de l?association entre les femmes et la nature, ce qui est ? la fois une r?habilitation et une r?appropriation de quelque chose de d?truit et de d?valoris? (Hache, Reclaim, p.23). Elles travaillent en effet ? faire reconna?tre l?interd?pendance des ?tres humains avec leurs ?cosyst?mes, les animaux et entre eux. Parall?lement, les ?cof?minismes partagent avec les ?thiques du care une vision d?un prendre soin global et local qui con?oit les ?tres humains comme ?tant plong?s dans des relations complexes d?interd?pendance avec leurs ?cosyst?mes. De cette vision du monde d?coule une responsabilit? ?thique et politique ? agir pour le bien-?tre collectif actuel et futur. En somme, quels sont les principaux angles des analyses ?cof?ministes ? En tant que mouvement f?ministe pluriel, il est impossible d??tablir une m?thodologie unique aux ?cof?minismes bien que celles-ci entrecroisent plusieurs approches provenant de luttes militantes et de branches th?oriques vari?es. La pr?sentation t?chera de tracer les lignes directrices des m?thodologies multidisciplinaires proprement ?cof?ministes. ? propos des intervenantes M?daille de bronze au CNRS, Genevi?ve Pruvost est sociologue du travail et du genre au Centre d'?tudes des mouvements sociaux (EHESS). Elle a notamment publi? avec Coline Cardi, Penser la violence des femmes (2012). Ses recherches portent depuis dix ans sur la politisation du moindre geste et les alternatives ?cologiques. Son dernier livre s'intitule Quotidien politique. F?minisme, ?cologie et subsistance (La D?couverte, 2021). Marie-Anne Casselot est doctorante en philosophie f?ministe ? l?Universit? Laval. Elle a co-dirig? l?ouvrage Faire partie du monde : R?flexions ?cof?ministes aux ?ditions du Remue-m?nage en 2017. Elle est ?galement charg?e de cours dans plusieurs universit?s qu?b?coises ainsi que travailleuse autonome dans des organismes culturels et f?ministes. 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?).

(CIS) sur le site Pouchet du CNRS (Paris). Les propositions doivent ?tre envoy?es par courriel au plus tard le 3 f?vrier 2023 ? proposition at numfem2023.fr Au plaisir, de vous lire H?l?ne Bourdeloie pour le comit? (avec Audrey Baneyx et M?lanie Lallet) ----------------- Le num?rique comme m?thodes et terrains : perspectives f?ministes (NuMFem 2023) [cid:clip_image001.jpg] [cid:clip_image002.jpg] Ce colloque est organis? par le groupe de travail Genre et espace num?rique et se d?roulera les 29 et 30 juin 2023 sur le site Pouchet du CNRS. L?ambition de ce colloque international est d?interroger la fa?on dont le num?rique, ? la fois instrument, m?thode, terrain et objet de recherche (Bourdeloie, 2013), renouvelle non seulement les m?thodes et m?thodologies des sciences sociales (Millette et al., 2020) mais ?galement ?branle le ? syst?me ? du genre partant de l?id?e que la science et les techniques qui la sous-tendent ne sont pas pures. Le calcul qui pr?side n?est pas neutre et les quantit?s de donn?es massives collect?es ne sauraient ?tre gage d?objectivit? (Venturini et al., 2014). Ainsi, les m?thodologies utilis?es ont des ? cons?quences politiques ? (Proulx, 2020). Or, un ? regard politique et ?pist?mique ? (Ibid.) sur les m?thodes et m?thodologies ?claire les conditions de production, de collecte et d?analyse des donn?es, autrement dit sur le caract?re ? impur ? et situ? de la connaissance (Harding, 1991). Interroger les m?thodes et m?thodologies depuis un positionnement f?ministe, c?est donc pr?ter une attention particuli?re aux biais qui pr?sident ? la production et ? l?interpr?tation des donn?es, c?est faire de ces biais des ressources heuristiques et ?pist?miques en vue de produire une recherche plus ? objective ? (Ibid.). Le num?rique, non plus comme m?thode ou outil mais comme environnement cette fois, trouble les fronti?res du genre. L?informatique, et aujourd?hui l?intelligence artificielle, d?nonc?e comme ? nouvelle ing?nierie du pouvoir ? (Crawford, 2021) sont impr?gn?es de biais de genre infus?s dans le corps social. Du design aux usages, les normes de genre circulent dans les productions, les traces, les discours et les pratiques. Il s?agit ainsi d?interroger les nouveaux d?fis que posent la statistique et les donn?es massives au genre et ? l?observation de ce rapport social. Les d?fis se posent effectivement en mati?re de m?thode puisque le num?rique ouvre des possibles. ? la suite de travaux sur l??pist?mologie f?ministe (Haraway, 2007 ; Harding, 1991), l?objectif de ces journ?es consiste ainsi ? se demander si la recherche f?ministe1 peut enrichir les m?thodes num?riques (Hesse-Biber, 2012), favoriser des d?marches plus inclusives, ?chapper aux biais de genre auxquelles s?exposent les m?thodologies classiques, se soustraire ? la binarit? des dispositifs techniques et d?enqu?te, faire de l?identification de ces biais une source de r?flexivit?, rendre visible les paroles issues de minorit?s de genre et sexuelles dans le traitement des donn?es. Enfin, dans une perspective critique, il s?agit aussi de se demander si, en r?ponse ? la concentration op?r?e par les g?ants de l?internet, d?autres formes alternatives d?organisation sont possibles (Dulong de Rosnay et Musiani, 2020). Objectifs ? Faire ?tat de l?effervescence r?cente de la production scientifique dans ce domaine ; les m?thodes num?riques suscitant un int?r?t consid?rable, notamment dans le champ des humanit?s num?riques f?ministes (Feminist Digital Humanities) en plein foisonnement (Losh, Wernimont, 2018 ; Luka, Millette, 2018 ; Mendes et al., 2019). ? Permettre une contribution novatrice et innovante de ce champ dans le monde francophone. ? Sur la base d?une s?lection ? partir des communications retenues, coordonner un dossier sur les m?thodes num?riques et les f?minismes dans une revue scientifique. Axes Axe 1. M?thodes mixtes, interdisciplinaires et articulation ? en ligne/hors ligne ? Cet axe de l?appel place la focale sur les travaux qui articulent plusieurs m?thodes, disciplines et niveaux d?analyse, dans le cadre d?une perspective f?ministe appliqu?e au num?rique. En premier lieu, nous souhaitons mettre en discussion la pertinence de l?usage des m?thodes mixtes, qui articulent des ?l?ments emprunt?s aux approches quantitatives et qualitatives. Sont attendues ici les propositions pr?sentant des consid?rations m?thodologiques ou la construction de terrains qui d?passent ce traditionnel clivage entre le qualitatif et le quantitatif. Sont ?galement bienvenues les approches ?pist?mologiques visant ? cerner les contours, les apports et les limites des m?thodes mixtes aux ?tudes f?ministes du num?rique. ? titre d?exemple, nous pouvons citer l?utilisation de l?analyse de r?seaux dans le but d?obtenir un corpus cibl? dont la taille ne constitue plus un obstacle ? l??tude qualitative, utilis?e par Julien M?sangeau et C?line Morin dans leur analyse de l?activit? sociale de la manosph?re sur YouTube (M?sangeau et Morin, 2021). La constitution d?un corpus de tweets avec l?appui de l?informatique, coupl?e ? l??tude de la circulation des images et une approche s?miotique mobilis?e par Virginie Julliard pour ?tudier la structuration de la mobilisation anti-genre sur Twitter, constitue un autre exemple de combinaison possible (Julliard, 2022). Les enjeux li?s ? l?inter- et ? la pluridisciplinarit? des m?thodes mobilis?es pourront ?galement ?tre probl?matis?s. Les ?tudes sur le genre comme l?analyse des m?dias num?riques se d?ploient dans un contexte d?interdisciplinarit? forte au sein des sciences sociales. Cet axe pourra accueillir tant les propositions qui abordent des recherches men?es en contexte inter- ou pluridisciplinaire que les r?flexions sur la fa?on dont les divisions disciplinaires impactent la compr?hension des ph?nom?nes ?tudi?s. La confrontation des mod?les et leur discussion pourra ?galement avoir pour objectif d?en cerner les points aveugles. Dans sa th?se en informatique, Nick Doty (2020) s?appuie ainsi sur une approche interdisciplinaire couplant un travail ethnographique ? l?usage de m?thodes statistiques et informaticiennes, pour aborder la question des in?galit?s de genre (parmi d?autres) dans la participation au d?veloppement des standards d?Internet affectant la vie priv?e. Enfin, les propositions pourront aborder l?articulation entre les m?thodes num?riques et ? hors ligne ? pour appr?hender des ph?nom?nes en ligne2. L?objectif est ici de mettre en avant les travaux qui mobilisent en parall?le d?un terrain num?rique des m?thodes d?enqu?te en sciences sociales privil?giant le face ? face (tels que l?entretien approfondi, l?observation in situ, l?observation d?usage, les focus groups etc.). Nous esp?rons ainsi d?passer l?opposition de sens commun entre les pratiques num?riques et la ? vie r?elle ?, tout en r?fl?chissant ? la fa?on dont les ph?nom?nes en ligne observ?s prennent sens dans le cadre d?une r?alit? sociale plus large. Par exemple, une d?marche d?enqu?te possible pour cerner les espaces en ligne pertinents ? ?tudier afin de comprendre les usages d?une communaut? consiste ? partir des pratiques d?crites par les enqu?t??e?s rencontr??e?s dans diff?rents cercles de sociabilit? sur le terrain (r?seau d?interconnaissance, associations, etc.). C?est le choix qui avait ?t? effectu? par Lucie Delias et M?lanie Lallet dans leur ?tude des pratiques d?information en ligne autour des transidentit?s (Lallet & Delias, 2018 ; Delias & Lallet, 2019). Dans sa th?se sur les conditions de production et de circulation des discours ? en/hors ligne ? produits par le mouvement #NousToutes, qui lutte contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles, Ir?ne Despontin Lef?vre (2022) articule ?galement l?observation en ligne des plateformes num?riques utilis?es par le collectif ? une d?marche ethnographique m?lant observations in situ et entretiens. Quel que soit l?angle choisi, les auteur?e?s sont particuli?rement encourag??e?s ? mettre en ?uvre une d?marche r?flexive, interrogeant l?int?r?t des articulations propos?es ainsi que des modes de collecte et d?analyse des donn?es mis au point pour correspondre ? leurs objectifs de recherche. Axe 2. Quel apport de l??pist?mologie f?ministe aux m?thodes num?riques ? Les sciences humaines et sociales se sont interrog?es sur le f?minisme comme ?pist?mologie, m?thodologie ou m?thode. Les d?bats ont port? sur la fa?on dont le f?minisme pouvait d?fier les m?thodologies traditionnelles et sur l??ventuelle sp?cificit? des m?thodes d?enqu?te f?ministes (Harding, 1987). Si Sandra Harding a reconnu qu?il n?existait pas de m?thodes ? distinctement f?ministes ?, elle a n?anmoins accord? que la recherche f?ministe recueillait son mat?riau dans des conditions sp?cifiques. Comme l??crit Isabelle Clair (2016) ? propos du rapport au terrain, la ? nature des interactions qui se d?veloppent au cours d?une enqu?te ainsi que la transformation par l?enqu?teur de la vie des autres en terrain (?) posent de nombreux probl?mes qui rencontrent de fa?on singuli?re la promotion d?une science f?ministe ? (Clair, 2016, p. 70). Ce regard caract?ristique du f?minisme a conduit plusieurs auteur?e?s ? consid?rer qu?en mettant l?accent sur le politique, la recherche f?ministe enrichissait les approches m?thodologiques classiques et leurs m?thodes (Hesse-Biber, 2012 ; DeVault & Gross, 2012 ; Reinharz & Kulick, 2007 ; Bobo, 1989 ; hooks, 1992), tout comme elle favorisait des d?marches plus inclusives (Hesse-Biber & Piatelli, 2012, p. 145 ; Chandrashekar, 2020). Le num?rique, ? la fois instrument, m?thode, terrain et objet de recherche (Bourdeloie, 2013), a renouvel? les m?thodes et m?thodologies des sciences sociales (Millette et al., 2020). Inspir?s de la th?orie du positionnement, des travaux se sont interrog?s pour savoir si celle-ci pouvait ?tre mobilis?e, sur un plan m?thodologique, pour la recherche sur les m?dias socionum?riques (Luka et Millette, 2018) ; et dans quelle mesure il ?tait l? possible d?adopter une ?thique du care. Les travaux de Ja?rcio Da Silva (2020), proposent ainsi d??tudier le d?ploiement des mouvements intersectionnels et apparent?s sur la toile (tels que l?afrof?minisme) comme terrain. L?enjeu de cet axe consiste ? mettre l?accent sur les sp?cificit?s en mati?re de d?marche, m?thodologie et m?thode que posent les recherches f?ministes, intersectionnelles et de genre. Plus qu?une cat?gorie, un observable ou un outil de la subjectivit?, le genre ne pourrait-il pas aussi constituer une d?marche, m?thode ou m?thodologie pour observer les genres et les sexualit?s multiples ? Dans quelle mesure les d?placements des fronti?res du genre observ?es modifient-ils les m?thodes et les fa?ons de rechercher et vice et versa ? Dans quelle mesure les recherches f?ministes mobilisent-elles des m?thodes sp?cifiques pour observer les m?canismes de diff?renciation, cat?gorisation et hi?rarchisation sociales ? Et surtout dans quelle mesure le num?rique peut-il constituer une m?thode permettant de d?ployer une ?thique f?ministe ? Axe 3. Quels d?fis posent les donn?es massives au genre ? Le num?rique, ainsi que les nouvelles dynamiques de production, de collecte et d?analyse des donn?es dites massives posent de nouveaux d?fis au genre (Luka et Millette, 2018). Le genre devient probl?matique quand il est utilis? comme outil de mesure et confondu avec la notion de sexe (Cervulle & Quemener, 2014). Si, pendant longtemps, la sociologie quantitative n?a su que prendre appui sur l?enregistrement officiel du ? sexe ? de l?individu?e (de Singly, 2012) et se limiter ? collecter et analyser des donn?es sexosp?cifiques, de plus en plus d?enqu?tes d?ploient de nouveaux dispositifs pour relever des d?fis plus en ad?quation avec des r?alit?s complexes et individuelles. Toutefois, sur un plan m?thodologique, est-il possible, en termes statistiques, d?observer ce rapport social, de concevoir de nouveaux indicateurs et de nouvelles descriptions ? L?enjeu de cet axe est d?interroger comment ? et dans quelle mesure ? les donn?es massives et quali-quantitatives permettent d?investiguer les questions li?es au genre. Comment construire des donn?es et des outils de qualit?, sensibles au genre, et ?chappant au mod?le binaire ? Comment penser les logiques de groupe et les particularit?s ? Pour d?passer la question de la repr?sentativit? et s?attaquer aux questions d?inclusivit? des donn?es et des mod?les notamment statistiques, il faut concevoir une politique des donn?es ad?quate et retravailler les notions de transparence, d?accessibilit? et d??thique. Comment relever ce d?fi ? Si la disponibilit? et l?accessibilit? des donn?es augmentent, il importe ?galement de promouvoir l?utilisation des donn?es existantes dans le but d?approfondir et de diversifier les analyses des questions de genre.?Ces efforts doivent ?tre soutenus par des initiatives visant ? faire mieux conna?tre les donn?es sur le genre, tant aupr?s des personnels de recherche que des responsables publics et de la population en g?n?ral, de sorte ? am?liorer la compr?hension et l?utilisation de ces donn?es. Enfin, existe-t-il des tentatives pour renouveler les m?thodes de collecte et d?analyse de donn?es li?es aux questions de recherche pos?es par les ?tudes de genre et afin de mieux saisir l?imbrication des rapports sociaux ? C?est, par exemple, ce que proposait la d?marche de l?enqu?te ? Violences et rapports de genre ? (Virage) conduite en France par l?Institut national des ?tudes d?mographiques (Ined, 2017 ; Brown et al., 2021), qui ? a institu? les fondements d?une m?thodologie qui repose sur l?absence de r?f?rence aux cat?gories juridiques dans les questions pos?es aux personnes enqu?t?es ?.

UQAM Membre du Laboratoire sur la communication et le num?rique (LabCMO) : http://labcmo.ca/ Page : http://melmillette.com -- Appel ? propositions ? Merci de faire circuler Penser les ?tudes de fans : Enjeux m?thodologiques, politiques et identitaires Colloque no. 403 programm? au sein du congr?s annuel de l?ACFAS 2023 Description Depuis les ann?es 1990, les ?tudes de fans ont particip? ? d?construire les pr?jug?s tenaces ? l?endroit des fans, souvent per?us comme peu r?flexifs et obs?d?s par leur objet culturel favori. Ces recherches ont d?montr? la r?ception active et m?me performative des fans, en documentant leurs pratiques culturelles, allant de la cr?ation de contenu (fan fiction, fanart) ? la m?diation culturelle (fan subbing). Les communaut?s de fans, nomm?es fandoms, offrent des espaces de n?gociation aux id?ologies repr?sent?es dans les productions culturelles. D?ailleurs, plusieurs recherches d?montrent que les pratiques de r?ception des fans leur permettent de critiquer les productions m?diatiques (Jenkins, 1992). Bien que les ?tudes de fans se soient constitu?es en champ de recherche f?cond (Bacon-Smith, 1992; Jenkins, 1992), elles restent sujettes ? certaines critiques qui entravent leur qu?te de l?gitimit? (Evans et Stasi, 2014). La position des chercheur?se?s en ?tudes de fans est sujette ? contestation (Hannell, 2020) et le champ entretient des rapports ambivalents ? la m?thodologie. La d?finition de la notion m?me de fans est critiqu?e (Sandvoss et al., 2017), alors que des recherches plus diversifi?es permettraient de prendre en compte d?autres exp?riences (anti-fans, non-fans, etc.) et profils de fans (queers, personnes racis?es, etc.). N?anmoins, les travaux sur les fans forment une contribution manifeste et m?me innovante sur l?aspect entrem?l? des pratiques de r?ception en ligne et hors ligne (Evans et Stasi, 2014), sur l?appropriation et le d?tournement de la culture populaire (Bourdaa, 2021), ainsi que sur les contextes de cr?ations et productions de contenus num?riques (Hills, 2015). Depuis 30 ans, les "Fan Studies" forment un champ de recherche dynamique, surtout dans les milieux anglophones. Du c?t? de la recherche francophone, les ?tudes de fans, apr?s avoir accus? un certain retard, semblent entrer dans une phase importante de structuration. Par exemple, l'Association fran?aise des Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication (SFSIC) a r?cemment labellis? Groupe d'?tude et de Recherche "Fans" (GER Fans), coordonn? par M?lanie Bourdaa. Avec l?appui du Laboratoire sur la communication et le num?rique (LabCMO), ce colloque, pr?sent? au sein du congr?s de l'ACFAS 2023 (colloque no. 403) repr?sente ainsi une opportunit? de r?unir des chercheur?euse?s francophones provenant de chaque c?t? de l?Atlantique. L'?v?nement, en personne et en ligne, se veut une occasion fertile de contribuer ? la structuration du champ d??tudes en fran?ais. Appel ? propositions Ce colloque offrira une occasion de contribuer ? la structuration des ?tudes de fans en fran?ais et de saisir le momentum autour des enjeux touchant les fans et leurs pratiques, tant dans les d?marches de recherche des chercheur?euse?s que des ?tudiant?e?s. Le colloque s?organisera en 3 axes d?di?s aux enjeux m?thodologiques, identitaires et politiques. Les propositions de communication pourront s?appuyer sur des probl?matiques de recherche, des r?sultats d?enqu?te terrain ou des r?flexions herm?neutiques. 1. Enjeux th?oriques et m?thodologiques en ?tudes de fans : Cet axe accueillera des communications qui pr?sentent de mani?res concr?tes des th?orisations, probl?matisations th?oriques, ?tudes de cas ou encore des r?flexions m?thodologiques, ?pist?mologiques et ?thiques (Hannell, 2020). 2. La diversit? des identit?s de fans : Les communications de cet axe aborderont les recherches qui posent l?identit? au centre de leur probl?matique (p. ex. les anti-fans (Gray, 2003) ou les communaut?s de fans ayant ?t? historiquement minoris?es (queer, racis?es, etc.). 3. Les dimensions politiques des pratiques de fans : Cet axe permettra d?aborder les enjeux sociopolitiques li?s aux communaut?s de fans, incluant sans s?y limiter la mobilisation d?une imagination civique (Jenkins et al., 2020), l?activisme de fan (Brough et Shrestova, 2012). Les communications croisant des perspectives f?ministes, intersectionnelles, sociologiques, de l'?conomie politique des m?dias, et de tout autre discipline ou champ pertinent sont les bienvenues. Format des propositions : Les communications seront d'une dur?e de 20 minutes. Nous invitons les chercheuses et chercheurs int?ress?s ? soumettre une proposition de communication (en format Word ou PDF) comprenant les ?l?ments suivants : - Les noms, affiliations et courriels des auteurs et autrices; - Le mode de pr?sentation choisi : en ligne ou en pr?sentiel ? Montr?al; - Le titre de la communication (maximum 180 caract?res espaces comprises); - L'axe ou les axes du colloque dans lequel s?inscrit la communication; - Un r?sum? de 350 mots (r?f?rences non comprises) faisant ressortir l?int?r?t de la contribution et comportant un aper?u de la probl?matique, du cadre th?orique et/ou de la m?thodologie, du terrain r?alis? et des r?sultats le cas ?ch?ant; - Une liste des r?f?rences cit?es. Les propositions doivent ?tre envoy?es au plus tard le lundi 13 f?vrier ? l?adresse suivante : colloquefansacfas at gmail.com Lieu et dates : En ligne et sur le campus de l'Universit? de Montr?al.

Le potentiel de controverse autour de ces choix d?terminants pour l?avenir de l?humanit? est ?norme. Ainsi, les conflits ? venir posent avec encore plus d?acuit? la notion d?acceptabilit? sociale. Ce colloque propose d??tudier la trajectoire de l?acceptabilit? sociale des projets li?s aux transitions ?nerg?tique et ?cologique sous trois angles : 1) Les nouveaux potentiels de controverse autour des projets li?s aux transitions ?nerg?tique et ?cologique; 2) les discours li?s au contexte de transitions ;et 3) la participation publique en contexte de crise (climatique). La date limite pour soumettre une proposition est le 13 f?vrier 2023. Nous souhaitons recevoir des propositions issues des milieux acad?miques, mais ?galement des milieux de pratiques. Merci de prendre connaissance des d?tails dans le document ci-joint !

Cook, and Hannah McGregor with an invitation to participate in a different kind of peer review. We?ve written a manuscript for a book entitled Podcast or Perish: Peer Review and Knowledge Creation for the 21st Century. In it, we argue that existing models of peer review can be exclusionary and isolating, and that podcasting can be used as a form of peer review that makes knowledge creation more collaborative and public-facing. We also argue that podcasts are, and should be considered, a form of scholarly knowledge production. So we?re experimenting with the peer review process for this book, which we would like to be more open, collaborative, discursive, and publicly available. We invite you to read our draft of Chapter 1 (the Introduction) and make comments about it directly in the draft. You will also be able to read and respond to any other comments made by other peer reviewers, because we think conversations are so important when it comes to peer review and knowledge creation. You can choose to leave comments anonymously or to sign in to your Google account and make your identity known. There is also an opportunity to fill in a brief peer review form if you wish to do that instead of, or in addition to, your comments in the draft document. If you'd like to participate, we request that your comments and/or review are completed no later than February 14th, 2023. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you very much for your consideration. With best wishes, Lori Beckstead Ian M. Cook Hannah McGregor Lori Beckstead (she/her) Associate Professor Director, Allan Slaight Radio Institute RTA School of Media Toronto Metropolitan University (recently renamed) Co-host and co-producer of The Podcast Studies Podcast I don?t expect you to respond to my email outside of your working hours.

"Infrastructure makes worlds" -- Ned Rossiter ????,??,????`????,?,??????,??,????`????,??,????`????,?,??????,??,????`????,? Dear colleague, friend, comrade, Communications infrastructures constitute the invisible scaffolding of social life. Largely concealed to their end-users, they are becoming the main stage where local and global economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical conflicts are played out. Once established, infrastructures shape societies for decades to come. On the *13th and 14th of April we will launch the critical infrastructure lab* to discuss and develop visions of how communication infrastructures can serve the public interest -- and we want to do that with you! Work in the critical infrastructure lab will focus on the development of new infrastructural futures that center people and planet over profit and capital. Hosted at the University of Amsterdam and led by Fieke Jansen, Niels ten Oever, and Maxigas, the lab will bring together activists, advocates, scholars, policymakers, and industry actors. Three analytical lenses of standards, geopolitics and environment will be applied to built an evidence base, investigate and develop infrastructural imaginaries, and create actionable research for infrastructures that serve the public interest. *About the launch event* The two-day event at the University of Amsterdam will take place on the 13th and 14th of April. It will be a mix of keynote speakers, hands-on workshops, infrastructure walks, and panel discussions. Both days will be in person, but day 1 will be streamed. For both days, we invite session proposals from activists, advocates, scholars, policymakers, and industry. Day zero, 13th of April, will be a hands-on lab day. It will offer space for interactive sessions on geopolitics, environment, and standards. We invite proposals for sessions of 2.5 hours. For instance, workshops, infrastructure walks, policy challenges, simulations, etc. Pretty much everything that is _not_ a panel or paper presentation. Day one, 14th of April, will have a more academic structure. It will kick off with three keynote presentations followed by panel sessions. The keynote speakers - Ksennia Ermoshina, Svitlana Matviyenko, and Yu Hong - will inspire and challenge us. The keynotes are followed by Corinne Cath, who will present her research on exclusionary cultures of internet governance. The afternoon will be dedicated to simultaneous panel sessions in the areas of infrastructure and geopolitics, infrastructure and environment, and infrastructure and standards. Academics can submit an extended abstract (research question, theory/literature, method, data, preliminary findings) and practitioners can submit a position statement. These contributions should be between 750 and 1000 words. *Want to submit* Do you have an idea you want to workshop, a discussion you want to host, or some research that you want to present? State clearly in an email: - your name and affiliation, - whether you are submitting for day zero or day one, - the research area (infrastructure and geopolitics, infrastructure and environment, or infrastructure and standards) - include an abstract, position statement or a blurb for an interactive session! Send your submission to submission at criticalinfralab.net by March 1st. The lab and its research is supported by the Ford Foundation, the Internet Society Foundation, and Omidyar Network.

A follow up to the first edition held in January 2022 (program link), we continue to rethink sleep for our restless times. Sleep moves across, lingers, and expands in critical thresholds of consciousness, but also between the public and private, individual and collective, body and environment, matter and mind?all of which contribute to making sleep a site of radical vulnerability and social risk in a way that requires social forms of care, including care for the collective imaginaries of sleep. We propose that to better address the heterogeneity of sleep we must create conversations across forms and practices that question and expand the methodologies and epistemologies of sleep knowledge (Dement 1999; Kroker 2017). If cinema, for example, was already a dream machine yoking the somatic, the cinematic, and the social, how else can we identify the contagious intermedialities of sleep? If lullabies might tell us something about song, folklore, fear, and care, what do they tell us about sleep itself? From sleep apps and technologies (Mulvin 2018; O?Neill & Nansen 2019) to (stereotyped and/or inaccurate) representations of sleep conditions in both news and fiction (Kroll-Smith 2003; Williams et al. 2008; Higgins 2017); from urban and literary studies exploring the sleepless condition in the urban night (Beaumont 2015; 2020) to the rhythms and chronotopias that govern our lives (Elkouri 2016; Jeffries 2019; Trottier 2019), we are searching for novel ways to address sleep as it reverberates across human experiences day and night. We welcome contributions from artists and researchers who have mobilized intermedial and intersectional approaches to sleep, from performance art (Bahng et al. 2020) and data visualizations (Urist 2015) to adaptive design strategies (Costanza-Chock 2020; Williamson 2020) and eclectic sleep-focused group exhibitions (Cook 2019). Across such heterogenous forms of knowledge production, we are interested less in the root (medical) causes of troubled sleep than in the lived experience and somatic time of sleep and sleepers. How can we collectively attune to sleep?s epistemologies of obscurity (Glissant 1990, Blas 2016)? How do we make sense of sleep as that most common and also unknowable of human experiences? Who is the expert of one?s sleep? What information and technology are trusted to provide information? And how can we straddle the gap between a sleeper?s personal experience and external metrics, normativities, machines, and observations? As sleep and rest become increasingly fugitive experiences in our everyday lives, in no small part due to 24/7 illumination in all corners of the world, how are media helping cultivate spaces of shared rest, restoration, and repose? As contemporary sleep media increasingly rely on the promise of immersive isolation through domestic and individualized ecologies (e.g., sleeping pods and pod hotels), we question what is lost when sleep becomes an experience closed off to others and to the environment, or when we no longer are sovereigns of our sleep. Conversely then, how do others help us make sense of our sleep and our sleeping self? How do the spatio-temporalities of sleep situate it in particular social contexts and, potentially, problematic situations? This colloquium aims to gather contributions by researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. In addition to traditional academic work, we also welcome experiential and experimental forms, including research-creation proposals and artist contributions. Possible topics include but are not limited to: * normative approaches to sleep and its limitations * sleep as sociable, between the public and private * sleep in relation to rest, fatigue, sleepiness, dreaming, attention, and other related states and terminologies * sleep design, environments, architectures, technologies, material culture * sleep in cinema, television, literature, popular media, the arts, curation, and other forms of culture * the politics of sleep; rest as resistance; sleep and labour * social disparities in sleep; the equities of sleep * feminist, queer, racialized, classed and other non-normative approaches to sleep * sleeper subjectivities; cultural and historical specificities to sleep knowledge and experience * the medicalization of sleep and its alternatives * the sleep-industrial complex * individual and social caring for sleep * sleep ailments; sleep disorders; sleep and disability * epistemologies of sleep and threshold states * the many ways sleep and its disorders are invisible, marginalized, stereotyped, understudied * sleep in times of (environmental, economic, etc) crisis Please submit a 300 word abstract and 50 word bio to: info at sociabilityofsleep.ca by March 15 2023. Somnambulations 2 will take place simultaneously to the final exhibition of The Sociability of Sleep project in downtown Montreal. While the colloquium will be an in-person event, we recognize that some participants may wish to present virtually due to the connection between conferences and the climate emergency, the problem of limited access to travel funds, and/or Covid-19. To accommodate this, we are offering a limited number of virtual presentations on hybrid panels through Zoom. When submitting your proposal, please indicate whether you intend to attend the colloquium in person or wish to present virtually. If you wish to present in person and would like to be considered for a travel bursary, please mention so in your submission email. Organized by Aleks Kaminska (U de Montr?al) and Alanna Thain (McGill) as part of The Sociability of Sleep, a project funded by the New Frontiers in Research Fund. The Colloquium is also supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and the Hexagram network.

Faisant suite ? la premi?re ?dition qui s'est tenue en janvier 2022 (lien vers le programme), nous poursuivons nos r?flexions sur les mani?res de repenser le sommeil en cette ?poque effr?n?e qu?est la n?tre. Le sommeil se d?place, s'attarde et s'?tend ? m?me les seuils critiques de la conscience, mais aussi entre le public et le priv?, l'individuel et le collectif, le corps et l'environnement, la mati?re et l'esprit. Ces ?l?ments contribuent ? r?v?ler la vuln?rabilit? radicale qui peut ?tre intrins?quement li?e au sommeil ainsi que le risque social qui en d?coule, et qui appellent ? des formes sociales de soins, notamment des soins sp?cifiques aux imaginaires collectifs du sommeil. Ainsi, pour mieux aborder l'h?t?rog?n?it? du sommeil, il semble n?cessaire de mettre en place des conversations entre les formes et les pratiques qui remettent en question et ?largissent les m?thodologies et les ?pist?mologies de la connaissance du sommeil (Dement 1999 ; Kroker 2017). Si le cin?ma, par exemple, ?tait d?j? une machine ? r?ves reliant le somatique, le cin?matographique et le social, comment pouvons-nous identifier autrement les interm?dialit?s contagieuses du sommeil ? Si les berceuses peuvent nous apprendre quelque chose sur la chanson, le folklore, la peur et les soins, que nous disent-elles sur le sommeil lui-m?me ? Des applications et technologies du sommeil (Mulvin 2018 ; O'Neill & Nansen 2019) aux repr?sentations (st?r?otyp?es et/ou inexactes) des conditions de sommeil dans les actualit?s et la fiction (Kroll-Smith 2003 ; Williams et al. 2008 ; Higgins 2017) ; des ?tudes urbaines et litt?raires explorant l'insomnie dans la nuit urbaine (Beaumont 2015 ; 2020) aux rythmes et chronotopies qui r?gissent nos vies (Elkouri 2016 ; Jeffries 2019 ; Trottier 2019), nous cherchons de nouvelles fa?ons d'aborder le sommeil tel qu'il se r?percute sur les exp?riences humaines de jour comme de nuit Dans le cadre de ce colloque, nous souhaitons accueillir les contributions d'artistes et de chercheur.e.s qui ont mobilis? des approches interm?diaires et intersectionnelles du sommeil?? de l'art de la performance (Bahng et al. 2020) et des visualisations de donn?es (Urist 2015) en passant par le design (Costanza-Chock 2020 ; Williamson 2020) aux expositions collectives ax?es sur le sommeil (Cook 2019). Dans ces formes h?t?rog?nes de production de connaissances, nous nous int?ressons moins aux causes fondamentales (m?dicales) des troubles du sommeil qu'? l'exp?rience v?cue et au temps somatique du sommeil et des dormeurs. Comment pouvons-nous ?tre collectivement attentionn?.e.s aux ?pist?mologies de l'obscurit? du sommeil (Glissant 1990, Blas 2016) ? Comment pouvons-nous donner sens ? laplus commune mais aussi la plus myst?rieuse des exp?riences humaines qu?est le sommeil? Qui peut v?ritablement ?tre l'expert du sommeil d'une personne ? Quelles sont les informations et les technologies auxquelles nous souhaitons faire confiance pour fournir des informations ? Et comment pouvons-nous combler le foss? entre l'exp?rience personnelle d'un.e dormeur.euse et les mesures, normes, machines et observations externes ? Alors que le sommeil et le repos deviennent des exp?riences de plus en plus fugitives dans notre vie quotidienne, en grande partie ? cause de l'?clairage 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7 dans tous les coins du monde, comment les m?dias aident-ils ? cultiver des espaces de repos et de restaurations partag?s ? Alors que les m?dias contemporains du sommeil s'appuient de plus en plus sur la promesse d'un isolement immersif par le biais d'?cologies domestiques et individualis?es (ex. capusulesl de sommeil et h?tels pods), nous nous interrogeons sur ce qui est perdu lorsque le sommeil devient une exp?rience ferm?e aux autres et ? l'environnement, ou lorsque nous ne sommes plus souverains de notre sommeil. ? l'inverse, comment les autres nous aident-ielles ? donner un sens ? notre sommeil et ? notre moi endormi ? Comment les spatio-temporalit?s du sommeil le situent-elles dans des contextes sociaux particuliers et, potentiellement, des situations probl?matiques ? Ce colloque vise ? rassembler des contributions de chercheur.e.s issu.e.s de divers horizons disciplinaires. En plus des travaux acad?miques traditionnels, nous accueillons ?galement les formes exp?rimentales et exp?rientielles, y compris les propositions de recherche-cr?ation et les contributions d'artistes. Les sujets possibles peuvent notamment inclure : * les approches normatives du sommeil et ses limites * le sommeil en tant que rapport social, entre le public et le priv? * le sommeil en lien avec le repos, la fatigue, la somnolence, le r?ve, l'attention et d'autres ?tats et terminologies connexes * le design du sommeil ; ses environnements, architectures, technologies et cultures mat?rielles * le sommeil dans le cin?ma, la t?l?vision, la litt?rature, les m?dias populaires, les arts, les expositions et d'autres formes de culture * la politique du sommeil ; le repos comme r?sistance ; le sommeil et le travail * les disparit?s sociales en mati?re de sommeil ; l'?quit? du sommeil * les approches f?ministes, queer, racialis?es, de classe et autres approches non normatives du sommeil * les subjectivit?s des dormeurs ; les sp?cificit?s culturelles et historiques de la connaissance et de l'exp?rience du sommeil * la m?dicalisation du sommeil et ses alternatives * le complexe industriel du sommeil * la prise en charge individuelle et sociale du sommeil * les maladies du sommeil ; les troubles du sommeil ; sommeil et handicap * les ?pist?mologies du sommeil et des ?tats liminaux * les nombreuses fa?ons dont le sommeil et ses troubles sont invisibilis?s, marginalis?s, st?r?otyp?s, stigmatis?s et peu ?tudi?s * le sommeil en temps de crise (environnementale, ?conomique, etc.). Veuillez soumettre un r?sum? de 300 mots et une biographie de 50 mots ? : info at sociabilityofsleep.ca avant le 15 mars 2023. Ce colloque aura lieu en m?me temps que l'exposition finale du projet La Sociabilit? du Sommeil au centre-ville de Montr?al. Bien que Somnambulations 2 soit un ?v?nement en personne, nous reconnaissons que certains participant.e.s peuvent souhaiter pr?senter en visioconf?rence en raison du lien entre les colloques et l'urgence climatique, du probl?me de l'acc?s limit? aux fonds de voyage, et/ou du Covid-19.

Panth?on-Assas * Chantal Bayard, doctorante en communication sociale et charg?e de cours, D?partement des sciences humaines, Universit? du Qu?bec ? Trois-Rivi?res R?sum?s des communications: Laura Verquere: Les constructions genr?es du probl?me public du cong? paternit? : pour une r?flexion m?thodologique plurielle et relationnelle. Cette communication repose sur une recherche doctorale men?e sur les fabriques du probl?me public du cong? paternit? (2017-2021) au prisme du genre. Elle repose sur une enqu?te de terrain men?e aupr?s des entrepreneur.ses de cause de l?allongement du cong? paternit? (trois associations f?ministes ? le PA.F, ParentEgalit? et Parents f?ministes ? et un groupe de dix p?res) et une analyse s?mio-discursive des repr?sentations m?diatiques de ceux-ci dans les m?dias dits ? de r?f?rence ? et de la presse f?minine. Au terme de notre recherche, nous constatons que des rapports de pouvoir de genre se reproduisent au niveau de la structuration (mat?rielle et symbolique) et de la m?diatisation de ce probl?me public dont l?objet repr?sente pourtant la lutte contre les in?galit?s de genre. Nous proposons ici d?interroger, au prisme d?une r?flexion m?thodologique, la fa?on dont nous avons analys? les constructions genr?es du probl?me du cong? paternit? au niveau des mobilisations. Chantal Bayard: Analyse critique des discours sur l?alimentation des nourrissons des c?l?brit?s et des femmes sur les r?seaux socionum?riques. R?flexions sur les d?fis m?thodologiques dans une perspective intersectionnelle. Ces derni?res ann?es, de nombreuses personnalit?s publiques - qu?elles soient actrices, chanteuses, mannequins, politiciennes, sportives ? partagent leurs exp?riences d?allaitement et de l?alimentation avec des pr?parations pour nourrisson sur les r?seaux socionum?riques. Leurs discours prennent la forme de texte, de mot-clic, d?image et de vid?o ?ph?m?re qui sont en phase ou en contradiction avec celui des autorit?s de sant? publique mondiale, canadienne et qu?b?coise qui recommandent l?allaitement exclusif jusqu?? six mois (ACSP, 2021; INSPQ, 2022; OMS, 2022). Ces publications g?n?rent des milliers de r?actions de femmes qui expriment leur solidarit? et leur approbation, mais aussi leur m?contentement et leur contestation. Dans cette communication, nous porterons notre attention sur l?analyse critique des discours (Lupton, 1992) produits par ces c?l?brit?s - des femmes privil?gi?es, h?t?rosexuelles, blanches, n?ayant pas de handicap visible et dont les corps sont g?n?ralement conformes aux standards de beaut? nord-am?ricaine - et par ces femmes ? partir de corpus analys?s notamment dans le cadre de ma recherche doctorale en communication sociale. Plus sp?cifiquement, nous proposons de partager nos r?flexions sur les d?fis m?thodologiques que pose ce type d?analyse dans une perspective intersectionnelle ? partir d?exemples concrets, soit : 1) la cr?ation d?un corpus; 2) les messages sous-jacents ? ceux sur l?alimentation des nourrissons (ex. Publicit?); 3) l?analyse des commentaires des internautes en r?action ? un partenariat r?mun?r? entre une c?l?brit? et une entreprise. A propos des intervenantes Les travaux de Laura Verquere, doctorante en sciences de l'information et de la communication au Celsa, se situent au croisement des th?matiques suivantes : le genre, les masculinit?s, les m?dias, les f?minismes, la parentalit?, les probl?mes publics et les mouvements sociaux. Chantal Bayard est charg?e de cours et doctorante en communication sociale ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec ? Trois-Rivi?res. Sa th?se porte sur l?analyse des discours et des repr?sentations de l?allaitement et de l?alimentation des nourrissons produits par les c?l?brit?s et les influenceuses sur les r?seaux socionum?riques, de m?me que sur la r?ception de ces contenus par les internautes. ? propos 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.

Deadline is Feb. 14th. See below for details. I'm writing on behalf of myself, Ian M. Cook, and Hannah McGregor with a reminder about our invitation to participate in a different kind of peer review. We?ve written a manuscript for a book entitled Podcast or Perish: Peer Review and Knowledge Creation for the 21st Century. In it, we argue that existing models of peer review can be exclusionary and isolating, and that podcasting can be used as a form of peer review that makes knowledge creation more collaborative and public-facing. We also argue that podcasts are, and should be considered, a form of scholarly knowledge production. So we?re experimenting with the peer review process for this book, which we would like to be more open, collaborative, discursive, and publicly available. We invite you to read our draft of Chapter 1 (the Introduction) and make comments about it directly in the draft. You will also be able to read and respond to any other comments made by other peer reviewers, because we think conversations are so important when it comes to peer review and knowledge creation. You can choose to leave comments anonymously or to sign in to your Google account and make your identity known. There is also an opportunity to fill in a brief peer review form if you wish to do that instead of, or in addition to, your comments in the draft document. If you'd like to participate, we request that your comments and/or review are completed no later than February 14th, 2023. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you very much for your consideration. With best wishes, Lori Beckstead Ian M. Cook Hannah McGregor Lori Beckstead (she/her) Associate Professor Director, Allan Slaight Radio Institute RTA School of Media Toronto Metropolitan University (recently renamed) Co-host and co-producer of The Podcast Studies Podcast I don?t expect you to respond to my email outside of your working hours. In the interest of health and wellbeing I value flexible working patterns. If I have asked for a response, I look forward to it when you are next working. Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory?. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans, and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship, and respect. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Drawing from hundreds of confidential oil industry documents spanning decades, Dembicki's The Petroleum Papers Inside the Far-Right Conspiracy to Cover Up Climate Change (https://greystonebooks.com/products/the-petroleum-papers), is an explosive work of investigative reporting. I think this event will be of interest to anyone interested in contemporary environmental and energy communication and media, the relationship between carbon capital and the far right, watchdog journalism, PR, disinformation, and more! When: Thursday March 2, 2023, 6:30-8:00pm, EST. Where: ZOOM Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-petroleum-papers-tickets-531145690057 I'll be moderating the event. I'd greatly appreciate if you could spread the word about this event through your networks. Thank you, Tanner ---- In The Petroleum Papers, investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki tells the story of how the American oil companies that founded the tar sands in Alberta, Canada?home to the third-biggest oil reserves on the planet?ignored warnings about climate devastation as early as 1959. Instead of alerting the world to act on this impending global disaster, Exxon, Koch Industries, Shell and others created ad campaigns saying climate change isn't real and that alternatives to oil are an economic disaster. These companies built a global right-wing echo chamber to ensure tar sands could keep flowing into the U.S., which helped elect Donald Trump and now leaves the Joe Biden administration with a sprawling climate mess. But Dembicki also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: the Seattle lawyer who brought Big Tobacco to its knees and is now going after Big Oil, a young Filipino activist who saw her family drown in a climate disaster, and a former engineer at Exxon who was pushed out for asking too many hard questions. With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame. Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute Geoff Dembicki is an investigative climate change reporter from Alberta, Canada, home of the largest tar sand deposits in the world. His book Are We Screwed? won the 2018 Green Prize for Sustainable Literature. He is a regular contributor to the Tyee and VICE. He lives in Brooklyn.

This is a free, online event! Eventbrite registration required. Creative works have the power to uplift individuals or destroy years of activist work through the perpetuation of stereotypical perceptions. The gravity and pressure of these responsibilities often falls heavily on marginalized creatives. In an ideal world, as a collective, we could share the burdens together through processes that are inclusive, mindful and authentic. The more we understand each other's experiences, history, and backgrounds, the more impactful our work will be. Join Elaine G?mez as she expands on core principles that are currently shaping creative decision making in game development and how being part of a diverse workplace and active in organizations that give back makes a difference to those that matter most. About the speaker: Elaine Gomez is a prominent figure within the digital works community, and co-founder of Latinx in Gaming. As a Latina, she has lived experience within the games industry, is an independent Unity developer and games educator. Through her presentation, she plans to connect cultural appreciation and representation in games and other digital works. In her presentation, she will speak about how gaming has the power to destroy the perpetuation of stereotypical perceptions and will explain how games can be designed in a powerful and uplifting way. By understanding one another?s experiences, histories, cultural experiences and backgrounds, we can shape creative decision making in games development to be a more inclusive, mindful and authentic place. -- ________________________________ Gerald Voorhees, Ph.D. (he/him) Associate Professor Department of Communication Arts University of Waterloo 257A ML, Waterloo ON, N2L 3G1 President, Canadian Game Studies Association ________________________________ I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples.

Both requesting students and offering Toronto-located members may fill this hyperlinked survey. It was raised to the Student Representatives by multiple graduate students that the economic pressures from inflation were impacting some students? ability to pay for a hotel/accommodation during CCA. CCA provides student funding to attend the annual conference which is reimbursed following submitted receipts. You can learn more about student funding on our website. In addition, York University?s residence are offering discounted accommodation during the annual conference. We recognize, however, that as student tuition and fees have increased in many provinces, without increases in some funding packages, graduate students face financial strain and are searching for cost-savings in their conference travel. We greatly appreciate the CCA community filling this Graduate Student Accommodation survey so that we can ensure students who may be attending their first in-person academic conference are not financially disadvantaged, impacting their decision to attend the conference in-person.

The FSSH believes that an interdisciplinary approach to research, teaching, and community outreach is essential to developing the leaders of tomorrow, and embraces a social justice mandate. The CDMS program focuses on the fast-changing communication and digital media environment in which we live, work, play, vote and influence. From a look at the global creative and entertainment industries to immersion in new technological developments surrounding the Internet and social media platforms, our program?s curriculum explores the drivers and impacts of communication and digital media in relation to the dynamics of the broader society and culture that shape them. Students learn about the uses, roles, goals, arts, industries, audiences, policies, technologies, practices, messages, and effects of communication and digital media in relation to the pursuit of a good life for all. We seek applications from outstanding candidates who are committed to building and making contributions to the CDMS program?s teaching, research and service excellence.

What, however, are the surveillance capabilities of the Canadian state? How can we speak of reform and regulation if we do not know what it is we want to change? In this talk, Professor Evan Light (Glendon College, York University) discusses his efforts to document the surveillance capabilities of the Canadian state from municipal to national. Through filing hundreds of access-to-information requests and extensive legal research, the Deobfuscating State Surveillance in Canada project aims to build the foundation for changing the ways we are policed, building up activist, academic and journalistic research tools along the way. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/lunch-time-seminar-with-evan-light-tickets-527212094567 -- -- Evan Light, PhD Associate Professor - Professeur agr?g?

As mentioned in our January gathering, we will be spending our monthly meet ups this semester focused on building interpersonal skills which may help in a conference setting, ahead of CCA?s annual conference this May. This webinar will take place Friday, 3 March 2023 at 4:00 p.m. Many graduate students have not had the opportunity over the pandemic years to learn and practice in-person networking. This webinar will look to build the following skills to fill this potential gap: * Writing a 24-month soft- and hard-networking strategy and control plan (using Notion, Excel, Excel?s Visio integration, and Obsidian for CRM and visual mapping purposes); * The amoeba method of professional networking and change-making; * Techniques for networking at meal tables; and * An easy-to-follow checklist using Excel for pre-conference preparation and post-conference follow-up for nurturing your network.

Where?s the fun in that?? with Dr. Katta Spiel on Thursday, March 9th, 2023 at 2 -3 PM! This is a free and hybrid event! Registration is required. About the event: Games research is slowly diversifying in matters of representation as well as accessibility related investigations. Similarly, a materialist and embodied understanding of play (also digitally) seeps in more on a theoretical basis. However, we need to critically examine what kind of bodies are invited to participate in play and how. Where games and play are mostly conceptualised as entertainment for the majority of bodies, disabled people are often relegated to playing for externally motivated purposes that are often driven by deficit oriented medical models of disability. Using the theory on the surrogate body in play, I illustrate how it can be instrumental to critically engage with norms governing digital play and identifying design opportunities playing with said bodily norms to holistically cater to disabled audiences. I do so by focusing on the critical analytical category of disability not just through an access oriented lens per se, but rather to bring principles of disability justice to play. About the speakers: Katta Spiel is an FWF Hertha-Firnberg scholar at the HCI Group of TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), where they work on the intersection of Computer Science, Design and Cultural Studies. Katta researches marginalised perspectives on technologies to inform interaction design and engineering in critical ways so they may account for the diverse realities they operate in. Drawing on methods from (Critical) Participatory Design and Action Research on a background heavily shaped by Queer Theories and Disability Studies, they collaborate with neurodivergent and/or nonbinary peers in conducting explorations of novel potentials for designs, methodological contributions to Human-Computer Interaction and innovative technological artefacts. -- ________________________________ Gerald Voorhees, Ph.D. (he/him) Associate Professor Department of Communication Arts University of Waterloo 257A ML, Waterloo ON, N2L 3G1 President, Canadian Game Studies Association ________________________________ I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples.

La date limite de soumission sur le site Internet de la revue (commposite.org) est le 3 juillet 2023. Au plaisir, Samuel Lamoureux R?dacteur en chef de COMMposite Appel d?taill? : L?objet de cet appel est d?e?tudier les nouvelles dynamiques de pouvoir dans les organisations dans un monde postpand?mique, et ce, sous un prisme communicationnel. Concernant les organisations de travail, ces enjeux sont le plus souvent abord?s par la litt?rature manage?riale, comme l?atteste le champ d?e?tude e?mergent sur les ?new ways of working? (Ajzen, 2021 ; Mitev et al., 2021 ; Taskin, Ajzen et Donis, 2017) ou celui, plus ancien, des critical management studies, dites CMS (Alvesson et Willmott, 1992) qui invite ? comprendre les enjeux de pouvoir dans les organisations (post)modernes. Toutefois, il existe aussi des avenues int?ressantes en communication et en sociologie du travail pour appr?hender les nouvelles configurations de pouvoir en organisation. Pendant la pande?mie de la COVID-19, l?engagement au monde s?est effectue? a? travers un usage intense des technologies nume?riques (Mukherjee, 2021), ce qui justifie en soit l?inte?r?t port? ? une explication communicationnelle. Par ailleurs, selon une perspective foucaldienne, le pouvoir n?est pas une proprie?te? mais une pratique, qui op?re gr?ce au savoir et de mani?re discursive (Bratu, 2000 ; Foucault, 1970). Enfin, si le travail est constitutif de l?identit? (Mumby, 2013, 2019) et repr?sente le domaine par excellence pour comprendre comment la communication prend part aux organisations, le monde corporatif n?a pas l?exclusivite? des probl?matiques de pouvoir. Pensons aux organisations communautaires (Fortier et al., 2022), alternatives (Del Fa et V?squez, 2019), b?n?voles (Del Fa, Lamoureux et Vasquez., 2021) ou encore militantes (Myles, 2019) et ? tous les ph?nom?nes organisationnels en ligne (Fortin, 2016) qui, comportent e?galement des dynamiques d?un groupe sur d?autres Suite en pi?ce jointe. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Best regards, Marcel CRITICAL TECH TALK 5: ?Artificial Wombs: The Disobedient Future of Birth" Featuring Claire Horn (Dalhousie) in conversation with Alana Cattapan (Waterloo) and Margaret Mutumba (Waterloo). Monday, March 13, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm | Zoom Bioethical and liberal feminist commentators have anticipated that artificial wombs (ectogenesis) will benefit all pregnant people. Contemporary ectogenesis technologies, however, are costly projects intended for well-equipped emergency neonatal facilities. Introduced into a world where globalised and racialized inequity in neonatal and perinatal mortality and morbidity are pronounced, rather than proffering universal improvements to care, these technologies are likely to increase existing stratification. This talk explores how the design, implementation, and regulation of artificial wombs may shape the technology?s impact and considers how artificial wombs and reproductive technologies more broadly might be altered if they were disentangled from the spheres of both healthcare and the commercial market.

Because of the originality and versatility of his concepts, his work has had an extraordinary afterlife, exerting a profound influence in fields as diverse as late critical theory, post-Marxism, subaltern studies, cultural studies, postcolonialism, and intellectual history. Rethinking Gramsci offers an opportunity for scholars, young and experienced, to face ? with Gramsci ? current social and political problems such as the climate crisis, the rise of neofascist powers, the coopting of social discontent by these powers, the decline of the public intellectual, etc. The conference will be held at the Instituto Italiano di Cultura and at McGill University. Each speaker will have 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). Presentations will be in Italian, French or English. Thematic Areas: Ecology and Hegemony, Civil Society and the Cultural Turn, The Social-Political Protest Movements of the 21st Century, Gramsci and Digital Media, The Decline of the Public Intellectual, Feminist Readings of Gramsci, Resistance to the New Authoritarian State, The New Anti-Fascist Struggle. Keynote speakers: Neelam Srivastava, Professor of Postcolonial and World Literature, author of The Postcolonial Gramsci, Newcastle University Luca Caminati, Professor of Film and Movie Image Studies, Concordia University.

Where?s the fun in that?? with Dr. Katta Spiel on Thursday, March 9th, 2023 at 2 -3 PM! This is a free and hybrid event! Registration is required. About the event: Games research is slowly diversifying in matters of representation as well as accessibility related investigations. Similarly, a materialist and embodied understanding of play (also digitally) seeps in more on a theoretical basis. However, we need to critically examine what kind of bodies are invited to participate in play and how. Where games and play are mostly conceptualised as entertainment for the majority of bodies, disabled people are often relegated to playing for externally motivated purposes that are often driven by deficit oriented medical models of disability. Using the theory on the surrogate body in play, I illustrate how it can be instrumental to critically engage with norms governing digital play and identifying design opportunities playing with said bodily norms to holistically cater to disabled audiences. I do so by focusing on the critical analytical category of disability not just through an access oriented lens per se, but rather to bring principles of disability justice to play. About the speakers: Katta Spiel is an FWF Hertha-Firnberg scholar at the HCI Group of TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), where they work on the intersection of Computer Science, Design and Cultural Studies. Katta researches marginalised perspectives on technologies to inform interaction design and engineering in critical ways so they may account for the diverse realities they operate in. Drawing on methods from (Critical) Participatory Design and Action Research on a background heavily shaped by Queer Theories and Disability Studies, they collaborate with neurodivergent and/or nonbinary peers in conducting explorations of novel potentials for designs, methodological contributions to Human-Computer Interaction and innovative technological artefacts. -- ________________________________ Gerald Voorhees, Ph.D. (he/him) Associate Professor Department of Communication Arts University of Waterloo 257A ML, Waterloo ON, N2L 3G1 President, Canadian Game Studies Association ________________________________ I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples.

We are excited to announce the publication of Larry Gross?s undergraduate thesis: Creativity: Process and Personality. Before arriving in the field of communication, Larry Gross was a psychology student at Brandeis University; Creativity: Process and Personality was Gross?s undergraduate thesis at Brandeis, completed in 1964. This mediastudies.press edition is the initial publication of that undergraduate thesis, with a new preface by Gross himself. Creativity: Process and Personality finds Gross exploring the nature of creativity by interviewing some of the era?s most noteworthy experts in psychology, including Herbert Simon, Milton Rokeach, Abraham Maslow, David McClelland, Jerome Bruner, and B. F. Skinner. The result of Gross?s interviews is a nuanced and multi-perspectival set of interlocking chapters, each of which probes the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of creativity. Creativity: Process and Personality remains a provocative consideration of how creativity takes form, while also operating as a revealing snapshot of mid-twentieth century psychological thought. https://www.mediastudies.press/creativity The book is available online and as a free download in PDF and ePub. A paperback version is also available. Creativity: Process and Personality appears in the Public Domain series.

We aim to explore how horror media?from films to television to social media?responds to the conditions of sleep as a site of embodied risk today. Sleep today is said to be in crisis. Sleep is under threat by our 24/7 (Crary 2013) lifestyles; by demands of availability generated by social media, the internet and the always-on of media themselves; by the blue light of media screens, and the somatic reset of social media addictions; and by the crisis cycle of the contemporary news media. Sleep scientists are increasingly attending to longstanding inequities of access to ?good sleep?, unevenly distributed across the fracture lines of social inclusion, and reflecting the environmental and cultural impact of insecure sleep conditions, including excess noise and illumination, rising temperatures under climate change, vulnerability to assault, an increasing demands to be available for work or care. These and other anxieties around sleep as a site of embodied risk are found across the spectrum of 21st century horror media. Beyond dreams and nightmares, sleep itself has a complex history in horror media, in the remix of cinemas as a dream machine to a rich visual and aural language for altered states that blur the line between waking life and nightmare. While our focus is on 21st century media, we also seek work that puts today?s bad sleepers in dialogue with the past of sleep-horror media. Our premise is this: sleep is in essence a risky business. Sleep is often seen as generating precarious situations, and sleep itself is understood as a site of risk, vulnerability, and loss of control and agency. Sleep?s horror affects enervate the sharp edges of conventional horror, its eruptive distinctions between normal and deviant, raising complex questions of creepy agency, resistance, dispossession and vulnerability. Horror sleep media explores rest as a space of work, the site of the relentless extraction of the body?s capacities and biopolitical management, through monitoring and modulation, or in other cases the only territory in which the complexities and dangers of life today can be navigated as a new site of survival. Rather than naming a novel state of affairs, feminist, queer, and racialized sleep horror understands sleep not as a break in the fabric of reality that allows a horrific otherworldliness to emerge, but as the condition of the exhausting conditions of everyday life. Part of the horror in the contemporary wave of sleep horror media is that the waking/ dreaming binary is displaced by the grey zone of somatic capitalism, where even off-hours are occupied by apps that track, quantify and assess us while we sleep, for purposes not our own. How does 21st century media figure the dispossessive risks of sleep? This weeklong writing workshop is a collaboration between the Sociability of Sleep interdisciplinary research-creation project and COR?RISC as part of the series "Altered States: The Social Lives of Sleep". We seek four to five participants for a week-long writing workshop in Montreal in the context of the Sociability of Sleep?s summer exhibition InSomnolence (June 20-July 13, 2023). Participants will arrive on Sunday. Monday through Friday will be dedicated to collaborative and individual writing sessions, working towards the publication of an edited collection. As such, we plan to work both with individual chapters, and also to collectively shape the conversation about sleep in contemporary horror. Each day will include two short public talks from participants about their emergent research in sleep horror along with writing workshops and end-of-day check-ins. In keeping with the spirit of the workshop as a generative space, the week?s events will include several activities meant to inspire discussion. The Montreal Monstrum Society will co-host a public screening of a sleep horror film; participants will be encouraged to suggest material to screen and discuss; there will be a workshop on public scholarship on popular media; and there is the possibility of creating a podcast focusing on the sleep media that we watch and discuss together. We seek proposals from workshop participants on topics such as: * Sleep and Genre (horror, noir, fantastique, dark fantasy) * Sleep and Media (cinema, television, short-form, social media) * Poetics of Sleep Horror (form, tone, atmosphere, style, mode) * Horror studies and sleep * Sleep and Experimental Horror * Sleep Horror as/and Ecology * Sleep Horror and Technology * Sleep Horror and Creep (climate creep, deep/geological time, scale) * Somnolent affects: sleep and spectators * (Sleep) media as a source of horror and risk * Too much, too little: sleep out of scale * Earlids and Eyelids: The Bleed of Sleep * Sleep Horror and Crisis, Disruption, Disorder * Lost sleep: insomnia and other absences (as awareness, as problematic/symptom) * Sleep Horror and Labour * Retrovision: 21st century sleep horror frameworks recalling earlier media forms * Sleep and/in Horror Studies (concept, content, figuration) Proposals should include: * a one-page description of your potential chapter: topic, approach and media (300-400 words) * a short bio (150 words) We welcome submissions from emerging scholars and contingent faculty, as well as from researchers from underrepresented perspectives in horror studies. There is funding available to support the participation of scholars, prioritizing those without access to institutional support. The workshop will take place in person in Montreal. If for you, travel to Montreal is not a possibility but you wish to take part in the entire workshop, please indicate this in your application and we will find accommodation for remote participation. Proposals can be sent to corerisc at gmail.com, with the subject line ?Undead Sleep Submissions?. Deadline is March 31, 2023. ?I?ll Sleep When I?m Undead? is organized by COR?RISC members Lynn Kozak, Alanna Thain and Kristopher Woofter, in collaboration with The Sociability of Sleep and is part of ?Altered States: The Social Lives of Sleep?, with support from the Fonds de recherche du Qu?bec - Soci?t? et culture and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Join us on Thursday, March 16 from 9 PST / 12 noon EST. Register here, and please share within your networks. This panel seeks to surface the cultural dimensions of mis- and dis-information through the lens of authenticity: how claims to truthfulness and facticity are recognized as believable by communities, and so how those claims are authenticated as truth or facts. Our panelists will discuss the historical, technological, and political aspects of claiming access to an authentic reality, and how addressing mis- and dis-information through policy requires engaging culturally with those claims.

Thanks, Jessalynn The Mixed-up Politics of Disinformation, Anti-Feminisms, and Misogyny Call for short papers for a Feminist Media Studies Commentary and Criticism Section 1500-word papers are due 1 June 2023 Jessalynn Keller, University of Calgary Michele White, Tulane University We believe that feminist studies and feminisms can be enhanced by considering the entangled politics of disinformation, anti-feminisms, and misogyny circulating within media cultures. Over the past decade, there has been significant mainstream and scholarly interest in the increasing prevalence of online disinformation and virulent, ?popular? misogyny (Banet-Weiser 2018). Here we understand online disinformation as fabricated information and deceptive practices that are designed to injure and denigrate individuals and groups, forward political agendas, increase participants and page views, and generate income (Marwick, Kuo, Cameron, Weigel 2021; Freelon and Wells 2020). Related forms of targeted aggression and relentless misogyny are the most notable aspects of contemporary anti-feminisms (Ging 2019). While these mediated phenomena are the subject of important critical media studies scholarship (see Ging and Siapera 2019; Keller and Ryan 2018; White and Negra 2022), little of this research explicitly places online disinformation, anti-feminisms, and popular misogyny in conversation with one another. This Commentary and Criticism section attempts to do this, aiming to parse out how disinformation relies upon and bolsters anti-feminisms and misogyny within historical and contemporary media cultures. We believe that this identification of and intervention in the mixed-up aspects of disinformation, anti-feminisms, and misogyny are central to the ongoing development of feminist scholarship, feminist politics, and media studies. We argue that anti-feminisms and misogyny are enacted in broad-brush accounts that simplify and disparage feminist histories and contemporary feminist engagements, consolidate all feminisms into a static and rigid structure, and disparage women and feminists as a means of further displacing disenfranchised people?s identities and rights (White and Negra 2022). Further, we engage with Sara Ahmed?s (2014) indication that ?Anti-feminism is a structure of hearing, a way feminists are eliminated from a conversation; a way certain forms of critique are dismissed? before ?being made.? We read Ahmed?s claim as a provocation to consider how anti-feminisms and misogyny operate as forms of disinformation, which are designed to silence feminists and advance anti-feminist political projects. For this Commentary and Criticism section, we seek short reflections of 1500 words that explore some of these ideas and the critical methods that can be employed to address anti-feminist disinformation and facilitate vital feminist lives. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary and intersectional work that addresses how disinformation, anti-feminisms, and misogyny overlap with other forms of oppression, including anti-Semitism (Planert 2011), nationalist refusals of the other, racism, and xenophobia (Dragiewicz and Mann 2016). Possible topics include: * Social media celebrity misogynists and platform politics * Audience responses/negotiations of the mixed up politics of disinformation, anti-feminisms, and misogyny * Women?s participation in anti-feminisms and disinformation * Intersectional feminist resistance to the intermeshing of disinformation, anti-feminisms, and misogyny * Popular and scholarly methods of intervention into anti-feminisms that model inclusive feminisms We intend for this section to catalyze research on the ways disinformation, anti-feminisms, and misogyny are tactically combined and to offer strategies for refuting these oppressive and delimiting practices.

Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/unstable-diffusions-tickets-547903402827 Description 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 event is hosted at the Milieux Institute at Concordia University by the Machine Agencies Research Group. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Union for Democratic Communications announces its 2023 Conference The Union for Democratic Communications Steering Committee is thrilled to announce that our 2023 conference will be held in Philadelphia from October 12 - 15, 2023. The conference will be hosted by the Media, Inequality, and Change (MIC) Center, a collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania?s Annenberg School for Communication and Rutgers University?s School of Communication and Information. UDC, now entering its fourth decade, seeks to bring together media producers, researchers, policy makers, and grassroots communications activists to promote and develop critical approaches to communications and media and to advocate and agitate for the creation of structures to foster a more democratic and just communications system. It is an organization that historically has centered the study of power from a radical perspective. We welcome abstracts from communication researchers, journalists, media producers, policy analysts, academics and activists alike. Please see the call below. You can find the conference announcement, conference theme, and Call for Papers on our website at https://www.democraticcomm.org. Submissions will close on April 7. Please feel free to distribute this call widely and we look forward to reviewing your submissions. Further information and conference logistics will be announced as they become available. In the meantime, please save the date and we are hoping to see all of you in Philadelphia! Union for Democratic Communications 2023: Left Undone The Union for Democratic Communications, now entering its fourth decade, is excited to announce the Call for Papers for its 2023 conference to be held in-person at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, in partnership with the Media, Inequality and Change Center and the Annenberg School for Communication. The possibilities and perils of leftist organizing and media scholarship assume greater urgency in the face of ?backsliding democracy.? ?Undone? reflects numerous senses: as a temporary disunity; as an important task unfinished; as a representation of disarray; but all senses of the word hold hope for its reversal. The UDC has always stood as a site of collaboration between activists, scholars, and practitioners?an organization rooted in critical scholarship and practice about the structures of communication themselves, not just in the US, but worldwide. The 2023 conference will see us look back at the first 40 years of the UDC, but we will also look ahead to consider the role of critical communication scholarship and activism in organizing, engaging, and energizing leftist alternatives to authoritarian politics. Our world has been reshaped by a powerful neoliberal vision made material through deliberate organizing, politicking, and institution-building; as economic historians such as Philip Mirowski have noted, the political left's response has not been sufficient to meet this challenge. A global climate crisis is joined by new wars, inflation, supply chain crises, and algorithmic governance across private and public spheres. Democratic institutions?and even the notion of democracy itself?are under attacks on multiple fronts, as right-wing movements globally have been energized. Media platforms and discourses are fertile ground for anti-democratic groups which have garnered funding and media attention that has seen formerly-fringe beliefs move toward the mainstream. This year?s Union for Democratic Communications conference asks what role critical scholarship, media-making, and activism can play in organizing resistance to minority rule and authoritarian movements both in the U.S. and abroad. Left Undone thus proposes a two-part call for clarity. For one, as we enter the next 40 years of UDC, it is time to engage challenging conversations among critical scholars across political economy, critical and cultural studies, science and technology studies, critical sociology, and their complementary fields to ask if a different foundation can be reshaped and built. What role can critical communication scholarship and activism play in organizing resistance to authoritarian movements both in the U.S. and abroad? What new theorization might be necessary to guide activism in the decades ahead? For the other, the work of the UDC and all scholar/activist organizations has always been one of struggle and persistence. Advocacy for equal justice, fair representation, and radical democracy is always an incomplete project. Both material and discursive attacks on the left have sought to undo what progress has been made and forestall the momentum of progressive and radical movements. What strategies, from micropolitics to international social movements, are required to combat widespread shifts towards authoritarian and anti-democratic regimes? Critical media-makers, scholars, and activists are invited to reimagine, reinvent, and reclaim communication for democracy?for the people?through the inherent optimism of criticality. We invite scholars, practitioners, media makers, and activists to join us in Philadelphia in October. The organization welcomes submissions on topics pertaining to any of the above issues. These include, but are not limited to: * Political economy of communications, communications policy, and media production * Digital capitalism, neoliberalism, ?mutant neoliberalism?, and labor * International media content, structure, policy, and (in)equality * Algorithmic governance, discrimination, surveillance, privacy, and policy * Platform governance, cooperativism, and commons * Democratic theory and new critical theory * Critical law and policy studies; law and political economy * The crisis in journalism, fake news, and disinformation * Science and technology studies, cultural studies * Racisms, patriarchies, and other forms of algorithmically-intensified power formations * Power, marginalization, inequality, and justice * Activism, social justice, resistance, and media/tech activism * Communication, labor, working class, and activist history * Advertising and consumer culture * Pedagogy, academic freedom, and academic labor * Conflict, war, rising authoritarianism/fascism and structures of communication We welcome proposals for paper presentations, workshops, theme panels, film screenings, artistic interventions, and other formats. The proposal portal will close April 7, 2023 at https://www.democraticcomm.org. About the Union for Democratic Communications UDC is an organization of communication researchers, journalists, media producers, policy analysts, academics and activists dedicated to: * Critical study of the communications establishment; * Production and distribution of democratically controlled and produced media; * Fostering alternative, oppositional, independent and experimental production; * Development of democratic communications systems locally, regionally and internationally.

Where?s the fun in that?? with Dr. Katta Spiel on Thursday, March 23rd, 2023 at 2:30 - 3:30 PM! This is a free and hybrid event! Registration is required. About the event: Games research is slowly diversifying in matters of representation as well as accessibility related investigations. Similarly, a materialist and embodied understanding of play (also digitally) seeps in more on a theoretical basis. However, we need to critically examine what kind of bodies are invited to participate in play and how. Where games and play are mostly conceptualised as entertainment for the majority of bodies, disabled people are often relegated to playing for externally motivated purposes that are often driven by deficit oriented medical models of disability. Using the theory on the surrogate body in play, I illustrate how it can be instrumental to critically engage with norms governing digital play and identifying design opportunities playing with said bodily norms to holistically cater to disabled audiences. I do so by focusing on the critical analytical category of disability not just through an access oriented lens per se, but rather to bring principles of disability justice to play. About the speakers: Katta Spiel is an FWF Hertha-Firnberg scholar at the HCI Group of TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), where they work on the intersection of Computer Science, Design and Cultural Studies. Katta researches marginalised perspectives on technologies to inform interaction design and engineering in critical ways so they may account for the diverse realities they operate in. Drawing on methods from (Critical) Participatory Design and Action Research on a background heavily shaped by Queer Theories and Disability Studies, they collaborate with neurodivergent and/or nonbinary peers in conducting explorations of novel potentials for designs, methodological contributions to Human-Computer Interaction and innovative technological artefacts. -- ________________________________ Gerald Voorhees, Ph.D. (he/him) Associate Professor Department of Communication Arts University of Waterloo 257A ML, Waterloo ON, N2L 3G1 President, Canadian Game Studies Association ________________________________ I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples.

[En] Call for Papers Online Workshop on Mark Fisher T?LUQ University, Qu?bec, Canada Mark Fisher (1968-2017) was a British scholar whose thoughts on capitalist hegemony and on leftist impotence are among the most inspirational works that nourish public debates about a new project of society. He became known in both academic and non-academic circles for his zestful writing style, which often seemed rather "stream of consciousness.? Nonetheless, Fisher?s key concepts offer a new perspective on the recent transformations of contemporary capitalism and their impact on mental health and the way we consume pop culture. While his work is widely perceived as a theoretical framework, it can also represent a call to action to abandon anomic attitudes and move towards a sustainable future, one that is built upon solidarity practices aimed at surpassing the current stage of capitalist realism. ? It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism ?. Fisher?s writings intersect with philosophical, cultural, and sociological theory. In his view, capitalism's dominant nature is so firmly established in our minds that it paralyzes us in a way that makes us incapable of imagining alternative realities, robbing us of our rebellious sense of creativity. To be interested in Fisher?s legacy today means moving beyond hypothetical issues to shed light on the tangible effects of capitalistic impositions on education, well-being, and our relationship with culture. The goal of this call for the Online Workshop on Mark Fisher is to bring together a wide range of contributions focusing on the research of the author of K-Punk, The Weird and the Eerie, the posthumous publication of his lectures in Postcapitalist Desire, and, of course, Capitalist Realism. Although his work has been insufficiently explored in French literature, this will be a bilingual workshop, and we encourage contributors to submit their papers in French or English. We welcome all proposals addressing Mark Fisher?s work and contributions. The list of themes and topics might include Fisher's influence on cultural studies, methodological reflections based on his approaches, and revisiting his theories to address social phenomena or any other subject related to his broad work. Accepted authors will be invited to develop their proposals in an online presentation for 20?30 minutes. Proposal details: ? A short biographical note about the author(s), including their name, status, and affiliation. ? A title. ?

Eventbrite registration required. Join the Games Institute at the University of Waterloo from 2-3:15 PM (EDT/UTC-4) on 30 March for a virtual panel with three researchers about their work and research in Accessibility in Digital Games and Virtual Reality. The panel will include Triskal deHaven, Dr. Katta Spiel, and Dr. Cayley McArthur. Triskal deHaven will lead the panel with frequently asked questions about Virtual Reality and Accessibility, research studies within higher level education, and some of the gaps in Accessibility that students could pursue. Students are encouraged to ask their own questions about these topics during the event. About the Speakers: Triskal DeHaven: Triskal is a User Experience Researcher who uses Qualitative methods to enable video game developers to create their desired player experiences. He has extensive knowledge on Accessibility in Digital Games and Virtual Reality. When he isn?t working, he loves playing RPGs with friends, hiking with his Doberman, or working out at the gym with his partner. Dr. C?ayley MacArthur: Cayley MacArthur, Ph.D. is a Games Institute member specializing in human-computer interaction (HCI) research, with a focus on inclusive technologies and inclusion in technology. The implications of this work are broad: working on inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in HCI requires interrogating the perspectives, assumptions, methods, and artifacts encountered in our approaches to research, design, and the development of new and existing technologies. She has published and presented interactive demos at top venues in her field. Cayley is also actively engaged in the research community and has served on the organizing or program committees of CHI 2022, DIS 2021, CHI 2019, CHI 2018, CHIPLAY 2020, and ISS 2018. Dr. Katta Spiel: Katta Spiel is an FWF Hertha-Firnberg scholar at the HCI Group of TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), where they work on the intersection of Computer Science, Design and Cultural Studies. Katta researches marginalized perspectives on technologies to inform interaction design and engineering in critical ways so they may account for the diverse realities they operate in. Drawing on methods from (Critical) Participatory Design and Action Research on a background heavily shaped by Queer Theories and Disability Studies, they collaborate with neurodivergent and/or nonbinary peers in conducting explorations of novel potentials for designs, methodological contributions to Human-Computer Interaction and innovative technological artefacts. Virtual audience will receive an online link the day before the event. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
