translation appreciated
by Barry Wellman 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

A review of Wellman & Haythornthwaite _The Internet in Everyday Life_ (Blackwell 2002) in _Sociology_ 38, 4, July 2004: 641-643 says that "The Global Villagers" article I coauthored needs more: "sublating micro-narratival accounts of a global phenomenon". Although I am always eager to learn, this suggestion is not in a language I speak. My spell checker was no help, even when I set it to "English (U.K.)". The OED (2nd ed.) is no help either, as the first meaning of "sublate" is obsolete and the second and third meanings are different from each other. "Narratival," probably an offshoot of "narrative," does not even make the OED. I've asked the author of the review for a translation but received no reply. Hence, I look elsewhere: Can anyone translate in whole or in part?

Dear Friends- I in the process of conceiving a major research project on the Blackberry as metonym for mobile Internet communication. This wil be a multi-dimensional project, involving research into the the development of the Blackberry, the insitutional culture of production at Research in Motion (based here in Waterloo, Ontario--how is that for convenience), advertising and marketing strategies, intellectual property issues,, and ethnographies of the Blackberry in everyday life.

Hi, There is a lot of work going on in relation to mobile telephony. I know that the Blackberry is somewhat different in terms of technology and the way that it is used. However, there is a growing literature on mobile communications and the social consequences of that. There is also a pretty good design literature in that area. A lot of this literature is based on qualitative analyses. There is also a pretty good number of quantitative analyses in this area. Let me know if you are interested in this type of literature.

Disclaimer: I have not read the relevant book chapter. At 16:49 12/01/2005, you wrote: >A review of Wellman & Haythornthwaite _The Internet in Everyday Life_ >(Blackwell 2002) in _Sociology_ 38, 4, July 2004: 641-643 It's issue No. 3, not 4 btw. >says that "The Global >Villagers" article I coauthored needs more: > >"sublating micro-narratival accounts of a global phenomenon". > >Although I am always eager to learn, this suggestion is not in a language >I speak. First of all, I think, the reviewer means that you sublate "micro-narratival accounts of a global phenomenon"[1], thus you need less, not more "sublating" according to the review. My wild guess is that "sublating" refers to the Latin "tollere", whose present participle is "sublatum". "tollere" is sort of an all-purpose verb, which can mean anything from "to overthrow" to "to raise" to "to purge." In this context I'd guess it means "to omit" or "to purge." Under "micro-narratival accounts" he probably understands stories, conversations, or utterances made outside the ideological frameworks found in mainstream public discourse as it appears in the (non-internet) media. These discourses have a heavy class bias, as does your survey according to the reviewer. Hence, he probably wants you pay more attention to less well-educated, non-US/Canadian voices on the internet, which he believes you have unduly neglected. Just my 2c Thomas [1] The entire sentence reads: "This is not to strike a parochial note but to ring warning on the dangers of sublating micro-narratival accounts of a global phenomenon." -- thomas koenig, ph.d. department of social sciences, loughborough university http://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/mmethods/staff/thomas/index.html

CFP: Computer Mediated Technologies Special Issue
by Mark D. Johns 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

The Iowa Journal of Communication announces a 2005 special issue on internet communication, guest edited by Mark Johns. Manuscripts should be received no later than January 30, 2005. Computer-mediated technologies (CMTs) are no longer the province of "techies," but have become everyday means of social interaction in our society. This interdisciplinary issue welcomes research on the impact CMTs have had in daily communication among family members and coworkers, colleagues and competitors, friends and strangers. Papers investigating how individuals communicate with one another through email, community mailing lists (listservs or USENET), instant messaging, weblogs, MUDs and MOOs, game environments, and other online venues will be considered. The issue will particularly focus on issues arising for researchers in effectively and ethically studying online communication, therefore papers dealing specifically with these "meta-research" issues, and papers suggesting particularly innovative adaptations of traditional research methods to the CMT settings are especially welcomed. We welcome submissions from researchers in a variety of areas. Any manuscripts not accepted for the special issue will be considered for the general issue of the journal. The IJC follows a policy of blind review so no author identification should appear in the body of the manuscript. Manuscripts should not exceed 25 pages and should include a title page that includes author(s) name, academic position, institutional affiliation, full address, telephone number, email address and brief author bio. An abstract of not more than 150 words should accompany the paper. All submissions must conform to the most current edition of the APA. Queries and manuscript submissions should be sent electronically to: Kimberly A. Powell, Editor, Iowa Journal of Communication, powellki(a)luther.edu. ------ Mark D. Johns, Ph.D. Asst. Professor of Communication/Linguistics, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa http://faculty.luther.edu/~johnsmar/ ----------------------------------------------- "Get the facts first.

As scholars doing interdisciplinary work in a joint programme, we are especially interested in encountering and generating significant intersections of art, activism and academia. How can we remix resistance? What can mongrel media make possible? How does contemporary culture rework us? Which beings, theories, technologies, cultures, languages, representations and values compound into interesting hybrid entities and identities? HYBRID ENTITIES is a call for works that take up what is revealed when entities collide and the creative or transformative possibilities in interesting combinations and connections. After last year's successful conference around themes of lag, error, breaks and gaps, our focus now turns to links, networks, compositions and new creations. We are interested in submissions that explore these intersections where names have not yet been given, where identities are still being formed and where new problems and possibilities for bridging the gaps among scholarly disciplines, and between scholars, artists and activists can be found. Open to all graduate students, this interdisciplinary conference welcomes submissions that take up these themes either through a paper presentation, an artistic expression, or an activist agenda. Details on subtopics and submission procedures follow below. ******************************* SUBTOPICS AND THEMES Invited submissions include papers, artwork and activist presentations that relate to the following broad themes: Media and Culture Topics could include (but are not limited to) subjectivity, popular and visual culture, media studies, cultural consumption and production, media democracy, representations of sexualities/race/ethnicity, gender studies, portrayals of social class, depictions of ability/disability, semiotics and linguistics, cultures of cities, space and place. Technology in Practice Submissions in this category might address (but are not limited to) questions regarding technology's emergent role in theoretical and practical debates surrounding art, authenticity, and aesthetics, negotiations of accessibility and identity, race and gender, explorations in the concepts of the cyborg, the post-human, and technoculture.
