cfp transdisciplinary studies book series
by Jeremy Hunsinger 30 May '06

30 May '06

distribute as appropriate: Call for Proposals (Book Series) Transdisciplinary Studies http://transdisciplinarystudies.tmttlt.com/ Sense Publishers Series Editors: Jeremy Hunsinger and Jason Nolan Aims and Scope: Transdisciplinary Studies is an internationally oriented book series created to generate new theories and practices to extricate transdisciplinary research from the confining discourses of traditional disciplinarities. Within transdisciplinary domains, this series will publish empirically grounded, theoretically sound work seeking to identify and solve global problems that conventional disciplinary perspectives cannot capture. Transdisciplinary Studies seeks to accentuate those aspects of scholarly research which cut across todays learned disciplines in an effort to define new axiologies and forms of praxis. This series intends to promote a new appreciation for transdisciplinary research to audiences that are seeking ways of understanding complex, global problems that many now realize disciplinary perspectives cannot fully address. Scholars, policy makers, educators and researchers working to address issues in technology studies, public finance, discourse studies, professional ethics, political analysis, learning, ecological systems, modern medicine, and other fields clearly are ready to begin investing in transdisciplinary models of research. It is for those many different audiences in these diverse fields that we hope to reach, not merely with topical research, but also through considering new epistemic and ontological foundations for of transdisciplinary research. jeremy hunsinger jhuns(a)vt.edu www.cddc.vt.edu wiki.tmttlt.com www.tmttlt.com () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - against microsoft attachments http://www.stswiki.org/ sts wiki http://cfp.learning-inquiry.info/ Learning Inquiry-the journal http://transdisciplinarystudies.tmttlt.com/ Transdisciplinary Studies:the book series

Dear Aoirists - while the following will be of only tangential interest to most of you, I'd appreciate your sending it along to interested colleagues: == With apologies for duplications and cross-postings On behalf of the Program Committee for ECAP'06, we are very pleased to announce that the conference program is now available on the conference website, <www.eu-cap.org> - then follow the link on the left-hand side of the page to "Conference Program" As a reminder: ===================================================================== COMPUTING AND PHILOSOPHY E-CAP 2006@NTNU Norway Norwegian University of Science and Technology Dragvoll Campus, Trondheim, Norway, June 22-24, 2006 Conference Co-Chairs: Charles Ess (Drury University / NTNU): <cmess(a)drury.edu> May Thorseth (NTNU): <may.thorseth(a)hf.ntnu.no> http://www.eu-cap.org E-CAP is the European conference on Computing and Philosophy, the European affiliate of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP, www.iacap.org) E-CAP is organized in cooperation with the Association of Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGART) ===================================================================== E-CAP is the premier European venue for current research, reflection, and lively discussion of all aspects of the "computational turn" that has emerged over the past several decades, and continues to expand and develop as a result of the multiple interactions between philosophy and computing.

Re: [Air-l] Text book recommendations
by Adam Muir 29 May '06

29 May '06

hi Heidi, I have used a few of those kinds of books before, but the one that I return to is: *** New Media: a Critical Introduction. - 2003 - by Martin Lister, Kieran Kelly, Jon Dovey, Seth Giddings and Iain Grant. Routledge. I like this one because it is an introduction, but it is still challenging for students to read and understand. It doesn't assume that you know nothing about media or the internet. I think some "intro to new media" textbooks forget that the students are most likely familiar with the kinds of issues you would want to discuss, they just don't necessarily know how people speak academically about them (key buzzwords, different elements of [insert your own discipline], etc). There are plenty of other texts that are good reads, but I find that the one I mentioned there covers the issues and leaves room for you to add your own ideas to. It's a couple of years old now but anything contemporary that you can think of can probably be slotted into the existing material. I hope that might be of some use.

allocution, consultation, conversion and registration on the internet
by Opgenhaffen Michaël 29 May '06

29 May '06

Doing research about communication online, the model of information-flow of Bordewijk & Van Kaam (1982) (Van Dyk has based his model on this one) seems to be very popular to show the change of the communication pattern from allocution to consultation and conversation. So far, I'm in. My question is for those who know this model well: what's the exact definition of the 'registration' pattern and could you give an example? Is RSS or google-alerts an example of registration? Thanx for the help in advance! Michaël

I know of a couple of attempts to apply this model in the context of computer-mediated communication that you may also want to examine: Jensen, J. F. (1998). Interactivity: Tracing a new concept in media and communication studies. Nordicom Review, 19(1), 185-204. McMillan, S.J. (2002). A Four-Part Model of Cyber-Interactivity: Some Cyber-Places are More Interactive Than Others. New Media and Society, 4(2), 271-291. Neither of these citations directly addresses technologies such as RSS that were the subject of the original question (both articles being a bit "old" in Internet years). But they might help in some way. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces(a)listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Jankowski Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2006 4:55 AM To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-l] allocution, consultation, conversion and registration on the internet The full citation of the original work for the Bordewijk & Van Kaam model is: Bordewijk, J.L. & Van Kaam, B.

26 May '06

Hi, I am wondering if anyone needs a roommate for ICA? I am a graduate student at CMU, I am nice and I have the coveted ability to sleep through a brass band marching by (so you don't have to worry about being quiet). I am arriving on the 18th and leaving on the 24th. I was traveling for the last month and just found out that accommodations I was supposed to have aren't going to work out. Please help, Thanks! Irina
