This 1-day pre-conference, part of the 2025 ICA Convention in Denver, CO, will invite scholars and experts from around the world to dialogue, discuss, and imagine the emerging possibilities for creator studies as an interdisciplinary field. Applicants can submit individual papers or pre-constituted panels. We are particularly interested in submissions addressing the following areas of creator studies: * Continuities and departures from media and communication history * Studies that bring outside or novel epistemologies, theories, and frameworks into dialogue with existing communication scholarship * New approaches, methods, or questions deemed central to creator studies * Questions about the value of content-related terms, such as ?format,? ?genre? and ?engagement? * The structural and material conditions of creator industries * The global formations and dynamics of global creator industries, particularly within peripheral markets and in the Global South, and in response to the conditions posed by platform nationalisms. Submissions will open Monday, 21 October 2024 and close Friday, 31 January 2025. Please note our submission timeline does not follow the ICA main conference. To read our full CFP, timeline, submission instructions, and FAQ, please visit https://www.ccsn.site/ica; If you have any questions regarding submission, please contact Yuqi Yang [yyang418 at usc.edu] prior to the submission deadline. We hope you?ll join us in Boulder next June! Sincerely, Christine H. Tran & the Debating Creator Culture Preconference Organizing Team --- Christine H.

This set of approaches to the simulation modelling of physical and cyber-physical systems originated in the manufacturing, aerospace, and construction industries, but are now applied across diverse industrial, consumer-economic, and governance sectors as tools for bolstering and steering digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Advocates frequently celebrate Digital Twins as ?crucial,? ?revolutionary,? and a coming ?business imperative,? drawing on the sublime rhetoric of artificial intelligence-enabled optimization to feed the growing hype. All the while, the Digital Twin concept and its specific technological manifestations still lack both public awareness and critical academic engagements. This poses a series of problematics. Public and private organizations are rapidly adopting these technologies without clear concern for how they might replicate or aggravate the social, data, and environmental harms that have plagued similar advanced digital tools such as artificial intelligence. Digital Twin Cities, for example, now map, surveil, and optimize bodies, behaviors, and urban systems as unproblematically as factories sense and optimize their production lines. Digital Twins of oil and gas, mining, and forestry operations are portrayed as efficiency-enhancing solutions all while ignoring their role in bolstering harmful resource exploitation. Digital Twinning is set to fundamentally transform governance processes and imaginaries across public and private sectors. But how, why, and to what effects? With the scale of Digital Twinning now literally spanning the atomic to the global, it?s increasingly important to subject them to critical scrutiny and investigation. This panel will assemble diverse perspectives on this emerging sociotechnical paradigm in an attempt to mobilize knowledges and explore approaches for iterating a socio-politics of Digital Twinning. It welcomes research and theoretical or conceptual work from a variety of disciplines and foci, including historical, political, socio-cultural, feminist, anti-racist, decolonizing, environmental, data harms, and other lenses. All the best, Robert Marinov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(un)Stable Diffusions: The Publics, Publicities, and Publicizations of Generative AI. Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Hi all, Jonathan Roberge, Joanna Redden, Luke Stark and I are very pleased to announce the publication of our special issue, (un)Stable Diffusions: The Publics, Publicities, and Publicizations of Generative AI. Open access and online at: https://publicera.kb.se/jdsr/issue/view/3598 The special issue features contributions from Kate M. Miltner, Ph.D, Etienne Grenier, Nicolas C., Thao Phan, Alison Powell, Sun-ha Hong, Gwendolyn Blue (on LinkedIn) and Crystal Chokshi, M?l Hogan, Fabian Offert. [A blue and white poster with text Description automatically generated with medium confidence] Contributions argue how generative AI is a uniquely public technology. The large language models behind ChatGPT and other tools that generate text and images is a major development in publicity as much as technology. Without public data and public participation, these large models could not be trained. Without the attention, hype, and hope around these technologies, the big AI firms probably could not afford the computational costs to train these models. Our special issue questions how Critical AI Studies can attend to the publics, publicities, and publicizations of generative AI. We have an excellent experience working with Simon Lindgren Markus Naarttij?rvi, Emma ?stin and the team @JDSR, the journal of Digital Social Research -- a pure open access journal. I think the special issue gathers an exceptional group of voices to advance research in Critical AI Studies and I encourage you to read their great contributions. Be good, Fenwick McKelvey (he/il) I do not reply to emails on Wednesday and Thursday. Please expect some delay in my response time. https://fenwickmckelvey.com fenwick at mastodon.social Coordinator, Machine Agencies ? https://machineagencies.milieux.ca Co-Director, Applied AI Institute - https://www.concordia.ca/research/applied-ai-institute.html MA Director, Communication Studies -- I acknowledge that Concordia University is located on unceded Indigenous lands.

Les communs pour penser et participer aux changements dans les secteurs de la culture, des me?dias et de l?information ? Montre?al, Que?bec, Canada, les 12, 13 et 14 mai 2025 Nouvelle date-limite de r?ception des propositions : le dimanche 19 janvier 2025 Ce colloque a pour objectif premier de mobiliser la notion de commun afin de penser et de participer aux changements dans les secteurs de la culture, des me?dias et de l?information dans un contexte ou? les enjeux e?cologiques, e?conomiques, politiques, sociaux et techniques, tous indissociablement lie?s, renvoient aux possibilite?s et aux conditions d?existence sur notre plane?te. Ce colloque contribuera e?galement a? la de?colonisation des savoirs (Mudimbe, 1988) en articulant la notion de commun avec celles de buen vivir et d?ubuntu, ainsi qu?en montrant en quoi les pratiques lie?es a? ces notions contribuent a? favoriser des formes d?e?mancipation multiples (Lacroix, 2009 ; Durand-Gasselin, 2012 ; Cukier, Delmotte et Lavergne, 2013). Commun, Buen vivir et Ubuntu : trois notions pour penser et participer aux changements Placer le commun au c?ur des changements comme nous le proposons ici, c?est faire primer les be?ne?fices sociaux de l?acce?s et de l?usage collectif a? une ressource sur sa valeur marchande (Schlager et Ostrom, 1992). C?est donc subordonner ad minima le processus de marchandisation guide? par la logique de mise en valeur du capital a? la logique d?une valeur d?usage collective (De Angelis et Harvie, 2014 ; Caffentzis et Federici, 2014 ; Borrits, 2018). Porter notre attention au commun, c?est aussi nous inspirer de trois fac?ons de le concevoir : (1) D?abord, en le conside?rant, a? partir des travaux d?Ostrom (1990), comme un ensemble de ressources autoge?re?es par des collectifs qui adoptent des re?gles de gouvernance collective de ces ressources naturelles, a? commencer par l?eau; (2) ensuite en mettant l?accent sur la dimension institutionnelle du commun et la ne?cessite? de la lutte politique pour en faire le fondement d?une nouvelle organisation sociale (Dardot et Laval, 2014), visant ainsi a? e?loigner le commun de toute forme de naturalisation (Madison, Frischmann et Strandburg, 2008) ; (3) enfin en conside?rant le commun comme un nouveau mode de production alternatif au capitalisme (Brancaccio, Giuliani et Vercellone (2021)). Cela dit, la notion de commun e?tant de conception occidentale, nous devons aussi conside?rer d?autres fac?ons d?envisager le vivre-ensemble produites ailleurs dans le monde et qui tiennent compte de la polyphonie des univers symboliques, des formes de socialite?, des esthe?tiques ainsi que des e?piste?mologies. En ce sens, nous porterons attention aux notions d?ubuntu en Afrique (Metz et Gaie, 2010 ; Kilahama, 1994 ; Kamwangamalu, 2014) et de buen vivir en Ame?rique latine (Acosta Espinosa, 2014), ce dernier e?tant un concept autochtone qui renvoie a? la mise ? en place des structures, des enclaves d?autogestion, lie?es a? des communaute?s, [...] coope?rant entre elles, partout ou? cela est faisable, pour faire la preuve, sans attendre [qu?un autre] monde est possible. ? (Ortiz, 2013). Quatre axes de questionnements Jusqu?a? maintenant, les travaux consacre?s au commun dans les secteurs de la culture, des me?dias et de l?information nous apparaissent avoir e?te? aborde?s de fac?on e?parse, voire peu de?veloppe?s au profit des communs naturels, nume?riques et de la connaissance (Hess et Ostrom, 2006). Nous proposons de re?pondre a? cette observation a? partir des quatre axes suivants : (1) Le premier axe met l?accent sur les possibilite?s de de?velopper des initiatives a? l?e?chelle locale. Envisager les communs de la culture, des me?dias et de l?information renvoie de prime abord a? l?e?chelle locale (Trace?s, 2016). Il est question ici de pratiques ordinaires, de discours, de dimensions symboliques, d?affects, d?e?mergence de collectifs, de communaute?s, de mouvements socioculturels... autant d?agents de (trans)formation socie?tale. Dans quelle mesure le the?a?tre de rue, les arts vivants, les radios communautaires, les journaux de quartier ou les ? zones a? de?fendre ? (ZAD) rele?vent du commun, du buen vivir ou de l?ubuntu ? Quels de?fis spe?cifiques ces pratiques doivent-elles relever ? Quels en sont les objectifs en termes e?cologiques, e?conomiques, politiques, sociaux et techniques ? (2) Le deuxie?me axe met l?accent sur la mobilisation de dispositifs sociotechniques communicationnels qui prennent une place croissante dans nos vies quotidiennes, alors qu?il est question du de?veloppement d?un ? capitalisme de plateforme ? (Srnicek, 2018), marque? par une gouvernance entie?rement contro?le?e par l?entreprise commerciale qui les de?tient (Fuchs, 2022). Alors que le de?veloppement de l?internet et du web rele?ve historiquement du ? bien public ? (Proulx, Massit- Folle?a et Conein, 2005; Hess et Ostrom, 2007; Smyrnaios, 2017; De Grosbois, 2018), a? quelles conditions des plateformes peuvent-elles relever du commun, du buen-vivir ou de l?ubuntu (Guiller, 2018) ? La captation de donne?es massives par quelques entreprises transnationales peut-elle laisser place a? une politique des donne?es relevant du commun ? Dans quelle mesure est-il pertinent de comparer ces luttes a? celles mene?es par le passe? dans le cadre des me?dias alternatifs (Atton, 2002, 2015, Kidd, 2003) ? (3) Le troisie?me axe met l?accent sur les processus de cre?ation, de circulation et de re?ception ainsi que sur leurs articulations et leurs conditions de de?veloppement. Comment les notions de commun, de buen vivir et d?ubuntu et les initiatives affe?rentes peuvent-elles contribuer a? repenser ces processus qui articulent des moments traditionnellement distincts ? Ou? retrouvons-nous les activite?s relevant du commun, du buen vivir et de l?ubuntu, dans la cre?ation audiovisuelle, dans la cre?ation musicale, dans la cre?ation sonore ou dans la production d?informations ? Les notions de commun, de buen vivir et d?ubuntu peuvent-elles aider a? la formation de nouveaux mode?les de financement de ces cre?ations, voire aider a? repenser la notion de service public ? (4) Nous comple?tons ces trois axes avec un axe transversal fonde? sur les enjeux disciplinaires et sur la question centrale de l?e?mancipation. Comment envisager la spe?cificite? de l?apport des sciences de la communication (Kane, 2010 ; 2016) par rapport a? celui d?autres disciplines (Fabiani, 2006) comme le droit, l?histoire, la philosophie, la science e?conomique, la science politique, la se?miotique, la sociologie ou bien encore les sciences de l?environnement et les sciences cognitives afin de penser the?oriquement commun, buen vivir et ubuntu et d?analyser les pratiques sociales concre?tes ? Quelle est la pertinence d?approches interdisciplinaires, voire transdisciplinaires (Morin, 1990) sur ces questions ? Enfin, comment des notions comme le commun, le buen vivir et l?ubuntu ainsi que les pratiques sociales qui leurs sont lie?es, sans ne?cessairement s?y re?fe?rer directement, peuvent-elles contribuer a? favoriser diverses formes d?e?mancipation ? Caracte?ristiques du colloque Le colloque sera ouvert non seulement a? des chercheur.se.s, mais aussi a? des personnes et des collectifs qui pourront faire part de leurs objectifs, pratiques et proble?mes relevant du commun, du buen vivir et de l?ubuntu, et de leurs re?flexions sur les enseignements qu?ils et elles en tirent. Seront privile?gie?es les interventions qui accordent une place centrale aux contextes structurants tout en e?tant attentives aux innovations d?ordres individuel et collectif, qui conjuguent le temps pre?sent et le temps long, les recherches macro et micro. L?essentiel consistera donc a? croiser les analyses et les expe?riences entre chercheur.se.s. chevronne?.es, e?tudiant.e.s, hommes, femmes, Nords, Suds, universitaires, praticien.ne.s, etc. Nous souhaitons ainsi entamer un dialogue sur les fac?ons dont les trois notions retenues et les pratiques qui s?en inspirent plus ou moins directement peuvent contribuer au renouvellement d?actions et de pratiques ayant une dimension sociopolitique. Les e?changes prendront la forme de confe?rences, de tables-rondes ainsi que de se?ances de discussions. In fine, le colloque sera un lieu d?e?changes sur un the?me qui pre?sente une tre?s forte pertinence sociale a? une e?re ou? nous sommes confronte?.e.s a? des de?fis d?une ampleur conside?rable. Des notions comme le commun, le buen vivir et l?ubuntu nous semblent susceptibles d?ouvrir vers de nouveaux possibles en vertu et a? partir desquels ? il soit permis de contester ou au moins de questionner "ce qui est" (une certaine organisation du travail, un mode?le de la socialite?, un dispositif technique, etc.) selon la perspective de sa transformation ? (Gue?guen, 2014, p. 265). E?tant donne? l?importance de de?velopper diverses collaborations, le colloque aura lieu principalement en pre?sence. Il donnera lieu a? l?e?dition de balados (podcasts) produits avant le colloque, a? la diffusion de plusieurs se?ances en vide?o en direct (streaming), ainsi qu?a? une se?lection de textes regroupe?s sous la forme de deux ouvrages a? parai?tre en franc?ais. Informations pratiques Le colloque, gratuit, se tiendra principalement en langue franc?aise.

Call for Papers Title: ?Self-(un)-fulfilling Prophecy: Navigating the Ambiguity of Gen AI? Open Panel #59 at the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) Seattle, Washington, September 3 ? 7 2025 Application Deadline: January 31st Submission: https://www.4sonline.org/call_for_submissions_seattle.php Contact: maxime.harvey at inrs.ca Organizers: Maxime Harvey, Etienne Grenier, Nicolas Chartier Edwards, INRS. Short Abstract The introduction of AI models into a variety of milieux and practices created a ripple effect that destabilized social orders. Despite the promise-driven economy of the technological sector, the gospel of wealth preached by its spokespeople still remains an unfulfilled prophecy. How do organizations and individuals, whether within the realm of politics, culture, economy or science, adapt to the current flow of generative AI deployment? This panel aims to study how groupings, whether political, cultural, scientific or economic, respond to the prophecies of AI inside their own operations. It is specifically addressing how such groupings adapt to GenAI?s reverberations, whether they are structuring or destructuring, or both, and how sociology can study these moments of ambiguous reconfiguration. Taking the form of a traditional open panel, we welcome contributions from a wide variety of disciplines to further the understanding of GenAI?s transversal deployment and consequence. Guidelines Submissions to open panels should be presented in the form of abstracts of up to 250 words. Your abstract should include a brief description of the main arguments, methods and contributions to STS. It should clearly state how your submission connects to the open panel as well as the broader conference theme. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ch?re ACC, En esp?rant que cela puisse vous int?resser, nous partageons avec vous l'appel ? contributions pour notre panel ouvert de l'?dition 2025 de la 4S.

R?sum? L'introduction des mod?les d'IA dans une vari?t? de milieux et de pratiques a cr?? un effet d'entra?nement qui a d?stabilis? plusieurs organisations. Malgr? l'?conomie prometteuse du secteur technologique, la richesse pr?ch?e par ses porte-parole demeure une proph?tie non r?alis?e.

Il s'agit en particulier d'?tudier comment ces regroupements s'adaptent aux r?verb?rations de l'IA g?n?rative, qu'elles soient structurantes ou d?structurantes, ou les deux ? la fois, et comment les sciences sociales peuvent ?tudier ces moments de reconfiguration ambigu?. Sous la forme d'un panel ouvert traditionnel, nous accueillerons des contributions d'une vari?t? de disciplines afin d'approfondir la compr?hension du d?ploiement transversal de l'IA g?n?rative et de ses cons?quences. Lignes directrices d'inscription Les propositions de panels ouverts doivent ?tre pr?sent?es sous la forme de r?sum?s de 250 mots maximum. Votre r?sum? doit inclure une br?ve description des principaux arguments, m?thodes et contributions aux STS. Il doit indiquer clairement comment votre proposition s'inscrit dans le cadre du panel ouvert et du th?me g?n?ral de la conf?rence de la 4S.

The deadline to submit a 250-word abstract is January 31. Artificial creativity? Examining values and conceptualizations of creativity as embedded in Generative Artificial Intelligence models Innovation and creativity have been used as levers to govern human labor, structure workplaces, and implement production technologies in what has been variously labelled as post-Fordist, disordered, and aesthetic capitalism. The history of the creative class has become intertwined with the development of information and communication technologies, which opened (seemingly) new possibilities for creative experimentation. From desktop publishing to the rise of commercial internet, the emancipatory potential of digital means of production and communication furthered such imaginaries and visions of autonomous, non-alienated creative labor. This seems to have been reiterated in recent years with the affirmation of social media, and the commercial success of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). Although the current GenAI tools can only produce derivative works by mining large datasets of multimedia content, their creative potential?real or imagined?raises critical questions about conceptualization of creativity, which is ever-changing to better fit its (technologically) modelled and bounded nature. We ask, how does understandings of creativity fit within the current development of GenAI technologies? Further, to what extent do cultural and creative commodities generated by AI reflect or depart from predominant styles and trends that are found in the datasets on which these tools are trained? What would automation of creative labor mean in such contexts? We welcome papers dealing with questions and theories at the intersection of creativity, labor, and computation. The panel discusses shifts, including but not limited to, the workplace, creative industry, technology and AI. Exploring historical dimensions and underpinning assumptions about technologically mediated creativity, it poses questions about the influence of AI on creative expression and cultural production. Organizers: Pranjali J Mann (pjm13 at sfu.ca), Alberto Lusoli (alusoli at sfu.ca), Digital Democracies Institute, Simon Fraser University. Submission deadline: January 31 Submission platform: https://www.4sonline.org/call_for_submissions_seattle.php Panel ID: 127 We look forward to receiving your abstracts.

Please join us for our fourth screening in This is the Feminist Archive: The Gloria Tapes (1980) followed by a conversation with Lisa Steele, moderated by Marusya Bociurkiw. "The Gloria Tapes" will be January 23, 7-9PM, at Vtape (401 Richmond, suite 452). This 4-part series, drawing from the aesthetics of the soap opera, was inspired by Lisa Steele?s experience working at a women?s shelter for many years. Combining the self-reflexive strategies of video art at the time, with acute, documentary-like representations of female poverty and resilience, this uncanny work creates of the artist a double, revealing, to both artistic and feminist communities, that which is unfamiliar and strange. ? Marusya Bociurkiw This is the Feminist Archive: Canadian Film & Video 1970s-1990s The four events in the series, screenings accompanied by conversations with the artists, recontextualize feminist film and video work as constitutive of archival futures; a future imperfect: what will be seen to have been. Too often, feminism is narrated and historicized as wholly outdated/transphobic/racist, invisibilizing BIPOC feminists who were leaders in the Canadian feminist movement and its art practice. Feminists themselves may attempt to disavow previous iterations of the movement. And yet, many examples of early feminist video engage, or invent avant-garde strategies, while also engaging in intersectional interrogations. The delimiting of the history of feminisms implicitly excludes much of the intersectional cultural work that was central to feminist projects. This is especially pertinent as American hegemony ? the undoing of abortion rights, the war on trans bodies ? continues to inform local and national contexts in Canada. The films and videos in the programs come from the last three decades of the 20th century when feminist political organizing was inextricable with women?s cultural production. See you on the 23rd! Please look out for our upcoming screenings! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ce colloque sur deux journ?es se tiendra ? Montr?al, les 8 et 9 mai 2025, dans le cadre du 92e Congr?s de l?Acfas accueilli par l??cole de technologie sup?rieure et l?Universit? Concordia. Ce colloque a pour but d?examiner de mani?re critique et interdisciplinaire le pouvoir des GAFAM et de l'IA g?n?rative sur les m?dias d?information et la culture. Depuis 2011, le GRISQ s'est sp?cialis? dans l'analyse des processus de surveillance dans leurs dimensions informationnelles et communicationnelles, ainsi que sur les caract?ristiques sociotechniques des algorithmes et de l?intelligence artificielle. Les travaux de ses membres participent d?une r?flexion plus large sur les transformations et mutations du capitalisme num?rique articul?e autour de la surveillance au quotidien, la gouvernance et la rationalit? algorithmique, et les formes et mutations du capitalisme num?rique. ? l'heure o? le d?veloppement de l'IA g?n?rative a ?t? class? comme ? menace existentielle pour l?humanit? ? par d'anciens ing?nieurs, dans un contexte o? plusieurs ?tats occidentaux cherchent par ailleurs ? l?gif?rer sur son d?ploiement dans diff?rents secteurs de la soci?t?, il appara?t crucial de rassembler des chercheur?e?s issus de plusieurs domaines de recherche (communication, journalisme, sociologie, science politique, psychologie, etc.) pour identifier et analyser les enjeux in?dits soulev?s par l'IA g?n?rative que d?veloppent les GAFAM. Concr?tement, les objectifs de ce colloque visent ? : ? d?velopper une r?flexion interdisciplinaire et critique sur les enjeux actuels en lien avec l?IA g?n?rative, l?acc?s ? l?information et son contr?le par les GAFAM ; ? cr?er un espace de collaboration avec des chercheur?e?s du Qu?bec, mais aussi de la francophonie internationale ; ? diffuser les perspectives, approches et m?thodologies de recherche aupr?s du grand public, de d?cideur?euse?s et praticien?ne?s (associations professionnelles, OBNL, syndicats).

Communication and Social Change in Africa: Selected Case Studies Edited by Manfred A.K. Asuman, Theodora Dame Adjin-Tettey and Modestus Fosu This book invites you to join leading Africa-focused scholars in a conversation that vividly highlights the intricate relationship among communication, media, culture and social change. Communication and Social Change in Africa: Selected Case Studies provides a timely and thought-provoking exploration of diverse and unique understandings in the way communication, in its vast and varied manifestations, is reshaping the continent?s future. Collectively touching base with almost every part of Africa, the book demonstrates a firsthand and grassroots understanding of the continent. The thirteen case studies in the book from across the continent illuminate the challenges, opportunities, and successes of communication-driven narratives, offering valuable lessons for scholars, policymakers and practitioners. It goes without saying that this book is ideal for students, researchers and everyone interested in appreciating Africa and its cultural and developmental dynamics, which have been presented from different cultural and stylistic perspectives. While sufficient in its coverage to provide decent insights into the transformative power of communication in African societies, this book would undoubtedly provoke the reader?s curiosity and anticipation for a follow-up to this volume for more width and depth about the continent through communication and social change in Africa. The book published by the Institute of Network Cultures at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences is available for free download at https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/tod-55-communication-and-social-change-in-africa-selected-case-studies/ Thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Conference Theme and Call for Papers: Click this link Abstract Submission Link: Click this link Call for Submissions to a Special Issue of Democratic Communiqu?: Freedom of Expression, Campus Politics, Academic Freedom and the War on Gaza Since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, Israel has engaged in an ongoing and massive assault on Gaza and the Palestinian people, inflicting mass casualties to such an extent that many academics, journalists, activists, artists, human rights groups, and even the nation of South Africa, have identified the Israeli government?s assault as genocide. This onslaught is now being extended to the West Bank and Lebanon. At the same time, an international protest movement has called for an end to the violence and for the liberation of the Palestinian people. But many voices of protest have been met with silencing, censorship, deplatforming, punishment, and, at times, violence. While this has long been the case, the past year has seen an acceleration of reactionary responses to activism, art, education, and media devoted to solidarity with Palestine. Because of UDC?s commitment to free speech and academic freedom, we are devoting a special issue of Democratic Communiqu? to manuscripts focusing on the suppression of criticism of the Israeli government?s actions and the censoring of pro-Palestinian perspectives in both academia and the larger political discourse. Manuscript Submission Information ? Manuscripts should be submitted by email to guest editor, Bill Yousman: yousmanw at sacredheart.edu. ? More information regarding submissions, review process, and the work of the journal can be found at our website: https://www.democraticcomm.org/journal Canadian Communication Association Annual Conference - Call for Papers The Canadian Communication Association invites submissions for its annual conference, to be held from June 2 to 5, 2025 as part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS), at George Brown College in Toronto, Ontario. The theme for Congress 2025 is Reframing Togetherness. CFHSS writes: ?As the first college to host Congress, George Brown invites researchers, students, educators, policymakers, and the public to reframe what it means to coexist with other humans, the environment, and technology. With an invitation and a challenge, we aim to open a collaborative space that bridges different ways of learning and producing knowledge in order to rethink our roles and responsibilities in these times of climate and humanitarian disasters, ever-evolving technologies, social isolation, dislocation, and increasing polarization.?

The talk will be followed by a moderated discussion with two "conversants." About the talk Speculative fiction (sf) is an influential mode that shapes how we imagine what technologies and futures we find desirable, feasible, and valuable. But whose values inform imagined techno-utopian futures? How can we draw on the power of sf if we understand the genre not as a storehouse of technologies we might one day create, but instead as a critical engagement with the way that technology inevitably shapes the social world in ways that extend far beyond its intended use? Using the example of the intersection of sf with disability studies, this talk will outline how sf can function as a mode of enquiry, a rhetorical tool that can help us guide technological development toward greater inclusion and equity by opening new perspectives on the problems technology seeks to solve. Focusing on the specific example of sf written from the perspective of people with disability, it will show how such fictions can help us understand how to cultivate a more capacious social imagination as a crucial element of equitable and inclusive technological design.

By engaged journalism, we mean attempts to help the audience connect with journalistic work (Batsell, Engaged Journalism, 2015), as well as the various ways in which journalists themselves build relationships with communities (Robinson, How Journalists Engage, 2023) to generate action (Li, Outlets pivot to promoting action, not just news, 2024). The goals of this year?s conference are: to make concrete steps toward building a theory of engaged journalism in Canada, through discussion day-of and by sharing conference insights in an edited volume of Facts & Frictions; and to design a community of practice, where journalists can share their successes and troubleshoot their challenges, to meet over the course of the coming year. The daylong conference will be held downtown Toronto on June 1, and will be preceded by an optional visit to an engaged newsroom and a social event on the afternoon of May 31. Details and schedule to come. Submissions: Everyone is welcome to attend, and you are interested in doing so, please fill out an expression of interest by Feb. 15. We will use this information to create panels and workshops designed to fit your interests.

We are excited to announce the publication of Early Media Effects Theory & the Suggestion Doctrine. https://www.mediastudies.press/early-media-effects-theory-the-suggestion-doctrine While much has been written on the history of media effects research in the United States, a casual review of the literature could reasonably lead one to believe that little if any such work was conducted until the 1940s. The anthology, consisting of over 30 public domain works originally publishing from the late 19th century to the mid-1930s, demonstrates the rich and varied study of media effects before mid-century?much of it centered on the concept of ?suggestion.? What media scholars know today as ?persuasion,? social psychologists of the early 1900s would have understood as the process of suggestion. The works collected in Early Media Effects Theory & the Suggestion Doctrine include the original statements on the subject from many of the leading social theorists of the age, among them figures such as Gabriel Tarde and Gustave Le Bon in France and James Baldwin, Edward Ross, and Floyd Allport in the United States. The book is available online and as a free download in PDF and ePub. A paperback version is also available. https://www.mediastudies.press/early-media-effects-theory-the-suggestion-doctrine Early Media Effects Theory & the Suggestion Doctrine appears in the Public Domain Series.

Ces cinq compagnies figurent aujourd?hui parmi les sept premi?res capitalisations boursi?res mondiales, tandis que Nvidia ? dont le mod?le ?conomique consiste essentiellement ? vendre des puces ?lectroniques ? ces mastodontes ? s?est r?cemment hiss? en quatri?me position sur ce podium (companiesmarketcap.com, 2024). La mont?e en puissance de cet oligopole a sign? l??mergence et peut-?tre m?me l?h?g?monie d?un nouveau mod?le d?entreprise : l?entreprise-plateforme. Les plateformes sont des infrastructures num?riques qui permettent et structurent la mise en relation de diff?rents groupes d?usagers (Srnicek, 2017). Les principales plateformes appartiennent ? des entreprises priv?es ? but lucratif qui les cr?ent pour g?n?rer des revenus ? partir des diff?rentes formes d?interaction entre usagers. Ces plateformes s?appuient sur de puissants effets de r?seaux directs et indirects pour cro?tre et s?assurer une position dominante. Elles reposent ?galement sur l?extraction massive de donn?es des usagers et leur traitement algorithmique ? des fins de ciblage publicitaire, d?am?lioration des fonctionnalit?s existantes et de cr?ation de nouveaux services. Les usagers et leurs activit?s diverses, qui tendent ? brouiller les fronti?res entre production et consommation, se trouvent ainsi au c?ur du mod?le ?conomique des plateformes capitalistes. Le d?veloppement du capitalisme de plateforme repr?sente l?essor du pouvoir propri?taire sur les r?seaux num?riques qui m?dient d?sormais les relations sociales et ?conomiques ? ?chelle globale. Tandis que l?av?nement d?internet et du web avaient suscit? des espoirs utopiques, la consolidation du capitalisme de plateforme a surtout nourri une multiplicit? de critiques et encourag? les usagers ? agir. Ces mobilisations peuvent ?galement encourager les autorit?s publiques ? jouer un r?le de r?gulation, comme l?illustre notamment l?adoption d?une directive europ?enne relative aux travailleurs de plateforme le 11 mars 2024 (consilium.europa.eu, 2024). Les r?actions des usagers ont essentiellement suivi deux voies : la r?sistance depuis l?int?rieur des plateformes capitalistes ou la cr?ation d?alternatives ? l?ext?rieur de celles-ci. Il est donc possible de les saisir ? partir des cat?gories d?Albert Hirschman (1970) : voice et exit (Vercellone et al., 2018). Ces deux voies ne s?opposent pas n?cessairement et peuvent m?me se renforcer comme l?a remarqu? Hirschman lui-m?me (1993). En effet, la cr?ation d?alternatives ? l?ext?rieur d?une organisation et l?exode d?une partie de ses membres (exit) renforcent le pouvoir de n?gociation des usagers engag?s dans la contestation en interne (voice). Th?mes Ce num?ro vise ? rassembler des articles sur les r?sistances et alternatives qui ?mergent face au capitalisme de plateforme afin de mieux comprendre leur ampleur et leurs formes, leur diversit? et leurs articulations. Il propose d?accueillir des contributions empiriques et/ou th?oriques ancr?es en sciences de l?information et de la communication ou issues d?autres disciplines de sciences sociales (e.g., science politique, sociologie, anthropologie, ?conomie, philosophie, droit). Axe 1 : R?sistances Les r?sistances ? ? l?int?rieur et contre ? (Hardt & Negri, 2009) le capitalisme de plateforme prennent des formes tr?s diverses et s?organisent ? diff?rents niveaux. Il est possible de situer ? un premier niveau la r?sistance en col blanc de cadres et ing?nieurs hautement qualifi?s ayant travaill? pour de grandes entreprises de la Silicon Valley, avant de s?inqui?ter des implications sociales des technologies qu?ils ont contribu? ? concevoir (Berrebi-Hoffman & Chapus, 2022). ? un deuxi?me niveau, on peut situer les r?sistances des travailleurs d?usines transform?es en profondeur par l?internet industriel ou op?rant au sein des r?seaux logistiques qui structurent la circulation globale des marchandises sous des formes renouvel?es par le num?rique et exemplifi?es par Amazon (Into the Black Box, 2022 ; Mezzadra et al., 2024). Un troisi?me niveau correspond aux luttes des travailleurs des plateformes de l??conomie ? la demande qui, le plus souvent en-dehors d?un contrat salari?, fournissent des services en personne (e.g., Uber, Deliveroo, TaskRabbit, Airbnb) ou ? distance (e.g., Amazon Mechanical Turk, InnoCentive) par l?interm?diaire de plateformes num?riques (Woodcock, 2021). ? un quatri?me niveau se situent les r?sistances d?usagers dont le statut de travailleur fait l?objet d?un d?bat ? celui autour de la notion de digital labour (Broca, 2017 ; Casilli, 2019 ; Fuchs, 2014 ; Vercellone, 2020) ? dans la mesure o? ils ne sont pas r?mun?r?s et con?oivent g?n?ralement leur activit? num?rique comme un loisir. Il peut s?agir de diff?rentes actions de protestation contre l?extraction des donn?es, les manipulations comportementales ou la r?gulation de l?espace public num?rique op?r?e par des entreprises comme Google, X (anciennement Twitter), ou Facebook ? la fois sur leurs plateformes ? virtuelles ? et, de plus en plus, dans l?infrastructure physique des ? smart cities ?. Enfin, il est possible d?identifier ? un cinqui?me niveau, des luttes ?cologiques, paysannes et indig?nes qui, au Sud comme au Nord, s?opposent aux ? op?rations extractives du capital ? (Gago & Mezzadra, 2015) qui caract?risent les plateformes et la course g?opolitique pour la conqu?te de m?taux rares et de nouveaux territoires ? coloniser (Kwet, 2019). Ce num?ro accueillera des articles empiriques et/ou th?oriques sur cette th?matique. Les premiers pourront porter sur des cas pratiques de luttes collectives contre le capitalisme de plateforme ayant lieu ? l?un des diff?rents niveaux ?voqu?s plus haut. Les seconds pourront interroger le potentiel subversif et l?articulation entre ces multiples luttes qui s?organisent ? diff?rents niveaux : les rapports entre luttes contre l? ? accumulation par exploitation ? et l? ? accumulation par d?possession ? (Harvey, 2017), les nouvelles fronti?res du travail et de l?exploitation (digital labour), les convergences possibles entre cols blancs et cols bleus, ? ind?pendants ? et salari?s, producteurs et usagers, ou encore, les liens entre extractivisme et capitalisme de plateforme. Axe II - Alternatives Les alternatives ?mergentes au capitalisme de plateforme s?inscrivent principalement dans le prolongement de deux mouvements : celui des logiciels libres ou communs num?riques et la tradition coop?rative. Le mouvement du logiciel libre nait au d?but des ann?es 1980 en r?action au d?veloppement d?une industrie du logiciel propri?taire (Broca, 2013). Dans les ann?es 1990 et 2000, le succ?s retentissant de nombreux projets libres (e.g., GNU/Linux, Wikipedia, Mozilla, Apache) est venu illustrer la puissance d?un nouveau mod?le de production bas? sur la coop?ration d?centralis?e et la contribution libre ? des communs num?riques. Pour autant, le discours lib?ral qui a domin? ce mouvement durant cette p?riode ne l?a pas suffisamment pr?muni contre le d?veloppement du capitalisme de plateforme et sa capacit? ? instrumentaliser les communs (Benkler, 2019 ; Birkinbine, 2020 ; Broca, 2021). Dans ce contexte, diff?rents acteurs du libre ont cherch? ? poser plus frontalement la question de la propri?t? et de la r?partition de la valeur dans le monde num?rique (Bauwens & Kostakis, 2014). De nombreuses formes d?associations et d?hybridations entre les communs num?riques et le mouvement coop?ratif ont alors ?t? exp?riment?es. L??mergence de licences ? r?ciprocit? venant restreindre l?acc?s des entreprises capitalistes aux communs num?riques tout en favorisant celui des coop?ratives, illustre cette tendance (Kleiner, 2010 ; Schneider, 2022). Le mouvement des plateformes coop?ratives s?est ?galement d?velopp? afin de cr?er des plateformes appropri?es et gouvern?es par leurs travailleurs et usagers (Scholz, 2014). Ce num?ro comprendra donc des articles empiriques et/ou th?oriques sur cette th?matique. Les premiers porteront sur des cas pratiques d?alternatives ?mergentes au capitalisme de plateforme : des communs num?riques (logiciel libre, open hardware, open data), des coop?ratives de plateforme, et toutes formes d?hybridations entre communs num?riques et ?conomie sociale et solidaire. Les seconds pourront s?int?resser aux diff?rents concepts qui ont ?t? construits pour analyser les alternatives existantes ou chercher ? les am?liorer : plateformes coop?ratives (Scholz, 2014), coop?ratives ouvertes (Bauwens et al., 2019), DisCOs (Troncoso, 2019), plateformes substantives (Vercher-Chaptal et al., 2021), communs productifs (Borrits, 2018), etc. Ils pourront ?galement porter sur les diff?rentes th?ories envisageant ? une ?chelle macroscopique ces diff?rentes alternatives, leur logique commune et leur potentiel de transformation socio-historique (Benkler, 2006 ; Bonduel, 2023 ; Brancaccio et al., 2021 ; Dardot & Laval, 2015 ; Hardt & Negri, 2009). Informations pratiques Tous les articles seront soumis ? un processus d??valuation en double aveugle et devront respecter les crit?res de publication de tic&soci?t?.

These follow editions we have published in the last few months on the state of media and internet concentration in Mexico, India, Canada, Italy, France and South Korea. Others will be out soon - including Portugal, Japan, Norway, - with the end goal a library of regularly updated reports for all of the nearly 40 countries that make up the GMICP. These reports are rich with insights into growth and concentration trends within media and communication sectors in these countries, as well as key regulatory developments. Finally: - Please review any of our reports and the underlying data sets here. - We invite other researchers to contribute their expertise to our efforts ? please reach out to us here.

Interstellar Media International ICCIT Symposium at the University of Toronto Mississauga, March 5-6, 2025. The Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology is inviting you to a research symposium on the media, culture, and life in the cosmos. - The invited speakers are Valerie Olson, UC Irvine; Fred Scharmen, Morgan State University; Katarina Damjanov, The University of Western Australia; De Witt Douglas Kilgore, Indiana University Bloomington; and Chris Russill, Carleton University. -Space Down a film by Dominic Gagnon will be screened and followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. - University of Toronto PhD students Upasana Bhattacharjee, Lauren Knight, Suarjan Prasai, Bryan Mark, Yuxing Zhang, Arun Jacob, Kaushar Mahetaji, Lucas Wong, Priyanka Verma, Hiu-Fung Chung and Mathew Iantorno will deliver 5-minute ?theory pill? talks that target a number of concepts that revolve around the symposium theme. You will also hear from the organizers Marie-Pier Boucher, Jeremy Packer, and Tero Karppi. SPACE OUT! When the current and former owners of social media sites and e-commerce platforms increasingly turn their lustful gaze to outer space, we should take note. Yes, outer space is obviously the site of future wealth and resources, but it is also a field of activity shaped by the tools, artifacts, devices, and frameworks of media studies, revealing that humanity?s relationship with the cosmos is a mediated one. We rely on satellites in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) for communication as well as for health and environmental monitoring and planning; on Geo Positioning Satellite (GPS) for navigation; on space travel apparatuses for the development of methods of storage and transportation of information, bodies, and goods; on tele-communication devices for interplanetary transmission; on the tools of media archeology for data sampling; on the tools of media geology for mining and extraction; and on the tools of information sciences for data processing and visualization. By focusing on outer space, the ICCIT symposium invites us to rethink our relationship to space, media, technology, land, population, property, resource extraction, and environmental management without falling into the traps of military, colonial, capitalist, sexist, classist, racist, and ableist logics. Space Out! draws attention to the quickly unveiling post-planetary moment and, for one day, encourages us to focus on interstellar media and ask: what kinds of theories, stories, analyses, methods, techniques, and ethics are needed to live in the cosmos? *** Wednesday March 5, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Centre for Culture and Technology, 39A Queen's Park Cres E, Toronto Screening of Space Down a film by Dominic Gagnon PLEASE REGISTER AT: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/screening-of-space-down-a-film-by-dominic-gagnon-tickets-1238169962689?aff=oddtdtcreator *** Thursday March 6, 9:15am - 5pm University of Toronto Mississauga, 3359 Mississauga Road SPACE OUT!

Mediating the Moment: A(n Interdisciplinary) Conversation Our strength in the humanities is found in our ability to work and learn together to solve our big, wicked, and messy social problems. Our goal is to gather together and hold interdisciplinary conversations that unite rather than divide on research areas loosely related to communications. Our conference aims to decolonize knowledge creation and sharing and to bring a feminist ethic of inclusivity to our work. We welcome visual submissions, traditional paper presentations, research-creation projects, community-based research projects and curator-hosted short films. Volunteer opportunities are available for graduate students. Multiple ways to share knowledge We aim to embrace the rough edges of what is considered research and who can participate in knowledge creation. In keeping with a theme of interdisciplinarity, we intend for you to find yourself in conversation with folks from different disciplines than your own. In seeking to bring disparate research areas together in conversation, we have made our theme as broad as possible as we want you to see yourself at this conference. Your research might be situated within the realm of, but is not limited to: * Narrative and storytelling in media culture, including genre studies * Mediated meaning making * Mediated community, society, and culture ? broadly * Embodiment, identity, and subjectivities in media * Representations of class, sex, gender, race/ethnicity, age, and ability in media * Mediated power, social movements, and activism * Cinema, Podcast, Porn, Photography, Video Game, Cultural, Legacy, and Digital Studies * This list is only suggestive as we welcome research from any discipline that engages with film, media, and communications. Location: The University of Calgary, AB (in-person) Date: May 1 and 2, 2025 Cost: Your travel, accommodation, transportation, breakfast, and evening meals. The conference itself is free to attend. Included: Coffee/tea/water and lunch both days. Open to: All active graduate students and undergraduate honours students considering graduate school. EXTENDED! Deadline for submissions: end of day, Sunday, March 2, 2025. For complete submission guidelines please see attached document or visit sites.ucalgaryblogs.ca/cmfgradconference.

The deadline to submit is 15 May 2025. Playing with Borders: Young People?s Mediated Cultures and Digital Worlds Special issue of The Canadian Journal of Communication Edited by Kisha McPherson, Natalie Coulter, and Marion Tempest Grant In the current digital mediascape, young people?s play is increasingly entangled in consumer culture as the boundaries and borders between culture and commerce collapse, and as digital spaces transform into sites of branded content in unprecedented ways (Hardy 2022). In these entanglements, young people are audiences, markets, consumers, users, creators, and fans. They play on gaming platforms like Roblox, they produce content for YouTube, they follow their fandoms on TikTok, and they aspire to be influencers on Instagram. As they do, they create, engage, and socialize within these entanglements. Meanwhile, media companies make content for them, brands court them, tech companies gather data on them, musicians pursue them, social media platforms cultivate them, streaming companies push content at them, and fashion companies co- opt them. All the while, parents, schools, and governments try to police and regulate them in these spaces. These tensions necessitate an urgency for families, scholars, industry professionals, and communities, to outline, debate, and address the complexities of young people?s play within these entanglements. The borders and boundaries of young people?s cultural worlds are nuanced and constantly in flux, especially those in the entangled capitalist spaces of consumer culture, digital culture, and media culture. This special issue, Playing with Borders, is an invitation to consider how young people contest, resist, negotiate, push, and play between and across borders in the messy spaces between 1) the analog and the digital, 2) the authentic and the branded, 3) the global and the local, 4) markets and other forms of life, and 5) play and labour in the consumer, mediated, and digitized spaces of young people's lives. This special issue will interrogate the concepts and definition of young people?s ?play? in borders and boundaries that have often reinforced settler colonialism, racism, hetero-patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, and white supremacy. We are specifically calling for papers that center young people?s voices, perspectives, and experiences. Playing with Borders invites work that engages with transdisciplinary methods and perspectives from across the humanities and qualitative and critical social sciences. The Special Issue theme invites research that draws from critical perspectives that center marginalized selves: queer, trans, feminist, crip, antiracist, abolitionist, decolonial, Indigenous, diasporic, transnational, and so on. The following topics are prompts for contributions that explore young people's consumer cultures, digital cultures, and media cultures. Other areas of critical engagement are also welcome. 1. What type of innovative research methodologies and approaches can be used to effectively capture and describe young people?s interactions and creations within emerging digital and consumer spaces? 2. How do children and teens navigate and embody digital and consumer citizenship within contemporary media landscapes? 3. What roles do social, cultural, and economic factors play in shaping children and teens' participation in digital spaces? 4. How do digital technologies facilitate and/or constrain young people?s creative expressions in online environments? 5. Describe the impact of young people?s play in commercialized spaces, including the influence of branded environments, consumer influences, and digital interactivity on their experiences and agency. 6. What strategies exist to strengthen children?s media and digital literacies in these spaces? 7. How do digital media cultures reinforce and challenge traditional geographic, cultural, or generational borders? What strategies do children and teens use to navigate, subvert, or redefine these boundaries in their online engagements? 8. What are the mechanisms used to regulate or restrict young people?s play in digital environments? How do young people push back against or creatively navigate these restrictions to carve out autonomous play spaces? 9. How do we critically integrate the shifting definitions of young people?s play into scholarship on media and digital culture? 10. In what ways do children and teens utilize media and digital technologies as tools for creative expression, storytelling, and content production? How do these forms of digital creation reflect their agency, aspirations, and engagement with the broader cultural landscape? 11. How do young people actively ?lean in? and participate in consumer culture, and what are the broader implications of this form of engagement? 12. Approaches that consider young people as creators, influencers, and entrepreneurs within these global digital marketplaces. 13. Explorations of the erosion of the boundaries between the authentic and the branded. All articles should be scholarly in nature and engage with relevant literature. We welcome a range of article lengths, from 6000 to 8000 words, following APA style. The journal?s citation and style guide can be found here. As Special Issue Guest Editors, we are committed to welcoming contributions from a range of scholars teaching across a variety of disciplines. Group contributions describing an academic unit?s intervention(s) are welcome. Articles are due 15 May 2025 via email to childrenandteen at yorku.ca. For all inquiries, please be in touch via email at childrenandteen at yorku.ca.

Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Dear colleagues, Dario Llinares and I are delighted to announce the publication of a new collection of work unpacking how scholars who practice podcasting theorize the medium, its audiences, and its practices. Podcast Studies: Practice Into Theory edited by Lori Beckstead and Dario Llinares [Beckstead-Social-2024_11-Instagram-1080x1080-v1.jpg] >From the publisher, WLU Press: Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory critically examines the emergent field of podcasting in academia, revealing its significant impact on scholarly communication and approaches to research and knowledge creation. This collection presents in-depth analyses from scholars who have integrated podcasting into their academic pursuits. The book systematically explores the medium's implications for teaching, its effectiveness in reaching broader audiences, and its role in reshaping the dissemination of academic work. Covering a spectrum of disciplines, the contributors detail their engagement with podcasting, providing insight into its use as both a research tool and an object of analysis, thereby illuminating the multifaceted ways in which podcasting intersects with and influences academic life. >From Reviewers (who I believe are members of this list-serv -- a big thank you for writing a review!): "In this volume, Beckstead and Llinares capture the vitality of podcast studies today-- and gamely theorize its source. REminding us that 'podcast' is both a noun and a verb, they showcase the work of scholars for whom podcasting is both an object of study and a mode of scholarly production. This dynamic interplay is producing new knowledge, new podcasts, and new ways of teaching and learning. If you want to join the conversation, this book is a perfect place to start." -- Mack Hagood, author of Hush: Media and Sonic Self-Control and producer of Phantom Power "This excellent collection edited by prominent podcast researchers Lori Beckstead and Dario Llinares embodies the essence of podcasting: relationship. Through an eclectic range of voices, podcast 'pracademics' generously share self-reflexive insights into their practice, aptly mirroring the medium's meta tendencies. The anthology bridges podcasting and scholarship, convincingly demonstrating how practice provides context for theory. It celebrates the learnings and enthusiasm of a growing network of 'podacademics' who are turning to podcasting to explore ideas, collaborate, and engage in public conversation." -- Mia Lindgren, co-editor of The Routledge Companion to Radio and Podcast Studies and award-winning podcast producer "This new volume gathers together exciting new scholarship on podcasting industries, cultures, and emerging practices of production, research, and reception that will shape our scholarly and creative discussions for years to come." -- Jason Loviglio, co editor of Radio Journal: International Studies in Broadcast and Audio Media On behalf of all the authors, I hope you find the book enlightening! And we kindly ask that you request that your institution's library add this to their collection.

By critically situating topics such as AI, race and gender, meritocracy, influencers, and creativity in dynamics of capitalism, Mirrlees empowers us to understand why work is experienced as such, and how we can change it. Essential reading for anyone aspiring to work in media and culture, and those of us who teach them.? - Nicole Cohen, co-founder of Cultural Workers Organize, author of Writers Rights: Freelance Journalists in a Digital Age and co-author of New Media Unions: Organizing Digital Journalists ?I want to create a new course just so I have a good excuse to teach Mirrlees?s new book. No one distills knowledge better. Plus, Mirrlees offers an exhaustive and incomparable taxonomical literature review in work and labor in the media and creative industries.? - David Craig, co-author of Creator Culture: An Introduction to Global Social Media Entertainment and co-editor of Social Media Entertainment: The New Intersection of Hollywood and Silicon Valley ?Mirrlees reminds us that human labour ? with its struggles, desires and pitfalls ? is the engine behind our culture, no matter how far the industry pushes commodification and automation. This book is indispensable theoretical and political grounding for the study of the present and future of digital media.? - Alessandro Delfanti, author of The Warehouse: Workers and Robots at Amazon and co-author of Introduction to Digital Media "For too long, work and class have been rendered invisible in media and communication studies. Mirrlees?s Work in the Digital Media and Entertainment Industries demonstrates the relevance and urgency of addressing work issues in these industries. This book is a must-read for all undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and policy makers who want to understand the different dimensions of work, which are even more relevant in digital media contexts. Mirrlees assesses key concepts from cyber-tariat to management, engages with hot topics such as virtual influencers and generative AI, and shares a generous and up-to-date list of references. The book also discusses how workers have built collectives, such as unions and cooperatives, in the media industries, demonstrating how the future of work may be different." - Rafael Grohmann, leader of DigiLabour Initiative and founding editor of Platforms & Society journal ?Mirrlees has accomplished an extraordinary feat that brings together cutting-edge theoretical work, with the study of law, policy, informatics, work and labour market restructuring. This path-breaking book will be of interest to researchers, students, labour and community organizers interested in the rapidly changing world of digital media and entertainment industries. Scholarly, yet accessible, this book makes a compelling case for more democratic and just control over the technologies that influence so much of our lives inside and outside of work. If you are interested in building worker power from a class perspective, pick up this book today!? - Carlo Fanelli, Director of the Global Labour Research Centre, editor-in-chief of Alternate Routes, co-editor of Reading Capital Today, and co-author of From Consent to Coercion: The Continuing Assault Against Labour ?Mirrlees? Work in the Digital Media and Entertainment Industries is a timely overview of an increasingly important and growing area. This interdisciplinary volume will provide scholars, teachers and students with a solid understanding of the multi-faceted concept of ?work? in our rapidly changing world.? - Janet Wasko, author of Understanding Disney, co-editor of The Handbook of Political Economy of Communications and Global Media Giants, and former President of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) ?Mirrlees has provided entertainment and technology studies with a definitive guide on labor in the twenty-first century media industries. Mirrlees charts key changes, conversations, and issues faced by independent YouTubers and influencers, all the way up to massive media conglomerates. Far from leaving these disparate, Mirrlees shows how what happens in executive boardrooms impacts the most precarious laborers, inviting readers to understand the nuances of power in contemporary creative work. Accessible and well-written, this is a useful text for seasoned researchers and undergraduate students alike.? - Jessica Maddox, author of The Internet is for Cats: How Animal Images Shape Our Digital Lives ?Moving beyond outdated notions of '9 to 5' employment, Mirrlees?s Work in the Digital Media and Entertainment Industries explores how media work now spans a spectrum of waged, gigified, and unwaged labor relations, helping students engage with these realities from critical theoretical perspectives. Through case studies, research overviews, and personal reflections, readers learn to identify workplace challenges, from algorithmic management to creative control, and explore possible solutions through collective action and policy change. Perfect for courses that aim to prepare students for the actual conditions they?ll face in their media careers.? - Matthew Crain, author of Profit Over Privacy: How Surveillance Advertising Conquered the Internet I hope my new book will be useful for your teaching, research, advocacy and activism!

How It Started, Where It's Going Please join us on Tuesday, March 18 at 7:15PM at Innis 22E (2 Sussex Avenue). Throughout our series, we have programed works by Canadian women from the late 20th century. For our fifth screening, we have invited artists Midi Onodera and Vera Frenkel to reflect on their early and recent work. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the artists, moderated by Marusya Bociurkiw. Please RSVP here. This is the Feminist Archive: Canadian Film & Video 1970s-1990s The four events in the series, screenings accompanied by conversations with the artists, recontextualize feminist film and video work as constitutive of archival futures; a future imperfect: what will be seen to have been. Too often, feminism is narrated and historicized as wholly outdated/transphobic/racist, invisibilizing BIPOC feminists who were leaders in the Canadian feminist movement and its art practice. Feminists themselves may attempt to disavow previous iterations of the movement.

Les personnes ?tudiantes des cycles sup?rieurs sont invit?es ? proposer des communications qui auront lieu sous forme de panel. Th?me Les crises globales ? qu?il s?agisse de pand?mies, de bouleversements climatiques, d?in?galit?s ?conomiques ou de tensions sociales croissantes ? bouleversent les habitudes de vie et red?finissent les soci?t?s (Lagadec, 2023). Pour ainsi r?pondre aux besoins d'un monde en mutation, la communication doit se transformer et ?tre repens?e (Libaert, 2020). Nous souhaitons ainsi explorer ? travers ce colloque comment ces crises red?finissent les pratiques communicationnelles, exigeant des approches fond?es sur l'innovation, l?inclusion et la reconnaissance des identit?s plurielles et marginalis?es. Le recours ? l?intersectionnalit? et aux perspectives d?coloniales (Mignolo, 2021; Bourguignon et Colin, 2016 ; Crenshaw, 1989) devient fondamental pour construire une communication v?ritablement repr?sentative et accessible. En mettant l'accent sur les r?cits et les exp?riences de communaut?s autochtones, marginalis?es et issues de divers horizons, ce colloque vise ? d?construire les structures de pouvoir au sein des m?dias et de la recherche en communication et ? r?inventer les r?cits traditionnels. Les pratiques communicationnelles doivent ainsi d?passer les cadres coloniaux et dominants pour accueillir des voix trop souvent r?duites au silence, tout en tenant compte des r?alit?s crois?es de genre, de classe, d?ethnicit? et d?autres identit?s. Les participant?e?s sont invit??e?s ? ?changer sur des sujets tels que la mobilisation sociale via les m?dias num?riques, la transformation des m?dias traditionnels face aux crises ?conomiques et technologiques (Pasquier, 2022; Lafon, 2017), et les nouvelles perspectives en recherche produisant des savoirs alternatifs et situ?s (Haraway, 1988), et cela sous la forme de recherche g?n?rale, recherche-cr?ation et recherche-intervention. En int?grant intersectionnalit? et perspectives d?coloniales, ce colloque appelle ? une refonte de la communication qui soit r?solument tourn?e vers l?inclusivit? et la justice sociale. Un colloque ouvert ? tous?tes! Nous invitons tous?tes les ?tudiant?e?s des cycles sup?rieurs souhaitant se pr?ter au jeu ? nous faire part de leur proposition, quels que soient leurs exp?riences et leurs champs d??tudes. Toutes les propositions seront ?valu?es par le comit? scientifique du colloque. Deux panels aux sujets vari?s se tiendront pendant l??v?nement afin d?offrir une opportunit? aux ?tudiant?e?s dont l?objet de recherche ne correspond pas au th?me choisi de participer ? l??v?nement. Cet ?v?nement est une invitation ? repenser les pratiques communicationnelles pour r?pondre aux d?fis contemporains avec empathie, engagement et ouverture. En croisant les perspectives, il ouvre la voie ? une communication plus r?siliente, ?quitable et sensible aux diversit?s du monde actuel, posant les bases d'une transformation durable de la soci?t? et des ?changes. Afin d?encourager la diversit? des approches, des espaces ont ?t? pens?s pour faciliter la pr?sentation de projets en recherche-cr?ation (espace de pr?sentation par kiosque et salle de projection). Le colloque se veut un ?v?nement inclusif et accessible. D?ailleurs, les lieux o? se tiendra le colloque sont accessibles pour les personnes ? mobilit? r?duite. N?h?sitez pas ? communiquer avec le comit? organisateur si vous avez des besoins particuliers qui pourraient faciliter votre participation. Soumettre une communication L?A?MDC vous invite ? soumettre votre communication avant le 21 mars 2025 ? 23h59 au aemdc.colloque at gmail.com. Les communications devraient ?tre de 15 ? 20 minutes et ?tre en lien avec la th?matique sugg?r?e. Nous acceptons aussi des communications ne portant pas sur la th?matique. Toute proposition doit contenir les ?l?ments suivants : * Pr?nom, nom * Adresse courriel * Universit? d?attache, programme d??tudes et cycle d??tudes * Titre provisoire de la communication (100 caract?res maximum) * R?sum? de la pr?sentation (300 mots maximum) * Bibliographie (10 ouvrages maximum) * Quelques astuces pour une bonne proposition: pr?senter la question ? laquelle on tente de r?pondre dans la pr?sentation, comment la communication s?inscrit dans la th?matique du colloque, concision (il faut viser la clart?), pr?senter les approches adopt?es dans nos recherches, cadre th?orique sommaire, tenter de d?montrer l?aspect stimulant dans la communication, etc. Le colloque, gratuit, se tiendra principalement en langue fran?aise.

I aim to do this by analyzing the relationship between political epistemology and the megamachine. By political epistemology, I refer to the mode of knowing transposed from science to politics, economics, and technology, such as mechanism, organism, and vitalism, among others, thereby constituting a new paradigmatic shift in the organization and functioning of society. The term megamachine, coined by Lewis Mumford, refers to large-scale, hierarchical systems of human organization that operate like a machine. The functioning of the megamachine is both shaped and transformed by political epistemology. As a method, political epistemology contrasts with political theology. With this framework, we will explore the shift from the Hobbesian mechanical state to the Hegelian organic state, as well as Schmitt?s concept of the 'big space.' This approach also illuminates the limits of current discourses on sovereignty and technology, particularly the concept of digital sovereignty.? About the speaker: Yuk HUI (Prof. Dr. phil. habil.) is Professor of Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam, where he holds the Chair of Human Conditions. Hui studied computer engineering at the University of Hong Kong and philosophy at Goldsmiths College in London where he wrote his doctoral thesis under the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler (1952-2020). He obtained his Habilitation (venia legendi in philosophy, specialising in the question of technology) from the Leuphana University L?neburg. He has been professor at the City University of Hong Kong as well as visiting professors at the University of Tokyo, China Academy of Art and Strelka Institute Moscow. Hui is author of several monographs including On the Existence of Digital Objects (prefaced by Bernard Stiegler, University of Minnesota Press, 2016), The Question Concerning Technology in China -An Essay in Cosmotechnics (Urbanomic, 2016), Recursivity and Contingency (R&LI, 2019), Art and Cosmotechnics (University of Minnesota Press, 2021), Post-Europe (Sequence/Urbanomic, 2024) and Machine and Sovereignty (University of Minnesota Press, 2024) .

Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Greetings CCA/ACC colleagues; (and apologies for cross posting) I want to quickly share the news that Music in Orbit: Satellite Radio in the Streaming Space Age was just published yesterday by University of California Press. You can currently receive 30% off with the promo code: UCPSAVE30 The book's description from the press: Years before the advent of music streaming, Sirius and XM established satellite radio services that attracted paying subscribers through their ever-expanding lineup of niche music channels and exclusive celebrity-hosted programming. Music in Orbit is the first book to explore how satellite radio bridges legacy broadcast music radio and streaming platforms, serving as both precursor and integral player in today's streaming media environment. Arguing for the ongoing significance of radio in the digital age and the pernicious effects of monopoly power on the vibrancy of contemporary music industries, Music in Orbit offers essential context for the serious problems now facing working musicians, music consumers, and music communities. And a few words from some kind folks who offered blurbs: "Brian Fauteux's definitive study of satellite radio in North America reveals SiriusXM as both a monument to radio's resilience and continued cultural significance and a prime example of how monopoly and financialization wreak havoc on the music industry."?Elena Razlogova, author of The Listener's Voice: Early Radio and the American Public "This is an important and groundbreaking book that traces how one audio service became a multimodal digital platform. Essential reading for scholars of radio and audio media, media industries, and media technologies."?Alexander T. Russo, author of Points on the Dial: Golden Age Radio beyond the Networks "Deeply attentive to the dynamics of media industries and policymaking, Fauteux shows how satellites became central to music distribution over the last thirty years. His highly engaging book details the rise of SiriusXM and powerfully reveals how orbit serves as a domain of culture, value, and commodification in radio and streaming industries."?Lisa Parks, author of Cultures in Orbit: Satellites and the Televisual "Fauteux orbits dazzlingly around his subject matter, covering satellite music's shifting value as a commodity, an industry, and a source of cultural connection during its brief history. A must-read for anyone interested in the culture, technology, and business of twenty-first-century music circulation and reception."?Jason Loviglio, author of Radio's Intimate Public: Network Broadcasting and Mass-Mediated Democracy Thanks for your time, Brian -- Brian Fauteux [he/him] Associate Professor, Popular Music and Media Studies Department of Music, University of Alberta 3-98 Fine Arts Building Edmonton, AB, T6G 2C9 Office: Arts and Convocation Hall 3-42 D Tel: 416-797-1646 The University of Alberta is located in ????????????

We?re thrilled to welcome authors Sofian Audry, Bill Kennedy, Er?n Moure, and Darren Wershler for a conversation about the book and the fascinating world of computer-generated writing. Copies of OUTPUT will be available for purchase, and there will be free giveaways of other books featuring computer-generated writing. ABOUT THE CO-EDITOR Nick Montfort uses computation to develop literary art. His work includes ten computer-generated books (in print from seven presses), the collaborations The Deletionist and Sea and Spar Between, and Memory Slam: Batch-Era Text Generation. Among his MIT Press books are The Future and two co-edited volumes, The New Media Reader and Output: An Anthology of Computer-Generated Text, 1953?2023. He?s professor of digital media at MIT and principal investigator in the University of Bergen?s Center for Digital Narrative. Montfort directs a lab/studio, The Trope Tank, and lives in New York City. ABOUT THE BOOK An anthology of seven decades of English-language outputs from computer generation systems, chronicling the vast history of machine-written texts created long before ChatGPT. The discussion of computer-generated text has recently reached a fever pitch but largely omits the long history of work in this area?text generation, as it happens, was not invented yesterday in Silicon Valley. This anthology, Output, thoughtfully selected, introduced, and edited by Lillian-Yvonne Bertram and Nick Montfort, aims to correct that omission by gathering seven decades of English-language texts produced by generation systems and software. The outputs span many different types of creative writing and include text generated by research systems, along with reports and utilitarian texts, representing many general advances and experiments in text generation. Output is first and foremost a collection of outputs to be encountered by readers. In addition to an overall introduction, each of the excerpts is introduced individually and organized by fine-grain genre including conversations, humor, letters, poetry, prose, and sentences. Bibliographic references allow readers to learn more about outputs and systems that intrigue them. Although Output could serve as a reference book, it is designed to be readable and to be read. Purposefully excluded are human?computer collaborations that were conceptually defined but not implemented as a computer system.

This comprehensive history spans over a hundred years, from the 1920s to the present, encompassing the establishment of CBC Radio/Radio-Canada, the emergence of television broadcasting, updates to the Broadcasting Act, the mandate of the CRTC, and the most recent discussion of what a service dedicated to Canadian culture might mean amid today?s panoply of streaming options. Situated in Canada?s broader economic history, David Skinner?s account ably demonstrates how broadcast regulation has been derived from a set of historical relationships between the Canadian state and private capital, and that this has tended to sideline its social goals. The book concludes with suggestions for enhancing the public elements of the broadcasting system and encouraging the creation of programming that reflects Canadians to themselves. ... A Political Economy of Canadian Broadcasting makes a timely contribution to media studies and highlights the key position of public broadcasting in Canada?s media system. A few words from reviewers: David Skinner?s scholarship is impeccable. His research presents a seamless fusion of ideas and perspectives from a very wide range of disciplines, brought to bear on the Canadian broadcasting policy context. As we face the current moment of technological and cultural upheaval with the rise of global digital media and online streaming services, it is an especially compelling and influential book. Marian Bredin, professor, Communication, Popular Culture, and Film, Brock University What distinguishes A Political Economy of Canadian Broadcasting in its field is its emphasis on the institutional structure of regulation and the impact this has had on the content available in the Canadian media system. The book draws a direct line from the telegraph to the digital age, placing mass media in Canada?s wider economic context.

Bonne journ?e?, Maxime Methods, Approaches, and Challenges of Researching AI and Labour in Creative Media Ecologies from Global Perspectives An IAMCR post-conference Full CFP: https://iamcr.box.com/shared/static/10kj0ldfg1ziogzpol8jtqtcfhg0b2mn.pdf Description The aim of the workshop is to gather and discuss the diversity of methodologies and theoretical approaches that we adopt in our research on how AI is increasingly being integrated into media production processes and the impacts on creative labour practices. We seek contributions from media and communications scholars working on any aspect of the creative media industries with a specific focus on research into media labour and AI. Contributions should foreground the debates about AI hegemony in both industry and research dominated by specific conglomerates and research agendas, exploring alternative practices, research methods, and imaginations of AI in creative and media industries. Topics under discussion may include challenges in fieldwork, opportunities of combining analytical frameworks, and/or identifying blind-spots in our disciplinary fields. Contributions should be centred on methods and theoretical approaches used in the study of the labour practices of using generative AI tools developed and used in different regions for creative media production. We seek contributions that address field-sites from across the globe as a necessary act of diversifying the current scholarship on AI and the media industries. An important goal of this workshop therefore is to emphasise global perspectives, given the need to understand how different methods and approaches might work in different culture-industrial contexts.

Statement of the Canadian Journal of Communication on the passing of Jonathan Sterne The Canadian Journal of Communication wishes to share our deepest condolences and respect following the passing of Dr. Jonathan Sterne, James McGill Professor of Culture and Technology at McGill University. Jonathan Sterne was a brilliant scholar, a warm and caring colleague and a dedicated mentor. His outstanding archival work and careful deliberations about the intersection of cultural, medial, and technological histories have influenced dozens of scholars and students around the world. Scholars have long relied on his writings to engage students with the idea that media are not abstract or neutral objects, but are deeply integrated into our lives, our families, and our communities. His book, The Audible Past, is one of the most comprehensive archival studies of sound technologies. In his book, he re-published a fabulous image, ?How Radio Broadcasting Travels.? It is from the 1920s and depicts how a broadcast transmitter room moves the sound of a theatre performer into thousands of homes. His point, as he wrote, is that the ?medium does not mediate the relation between singer and listener, original and copy. It is the nature of their connection. Without the medium, there would be no connection, no copy, but also no original, or at least no original in the same form. The performance is for the medium itself. The singer sings to the microphone, to the network, not to the woman listening at the other end.? His work on the history of the mp3 as a medium form is unrivalled. He had so much patience to do this work. We are all privileged to have engaged with a scholar of such acuity, and such a balanced and thoughtful approach to cultural, communicational, and medial histories. He will be missed dearly across many communities. In closing we offer deep respect for Dr. Carrie Rentschler who has accompanied and cared for Jonathan with utmost dignity through these hard times.
