Arkansas reporter
by Bobby Ampezzan 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello, Internet researchers, I'm a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. I'm working on a long, feature (as opposed to "investigative") story about how things get on the Internet and then stay there, long after the person who posted it intended it to be valuable or relevant. Specifically, there are three examples of something called "That One Show" -- amateur serial video produced by college / high school kids. One is defunct, another is long defunct but now has a Facebook following, and another is current but VERY low-budget and only interesting to the small group of high school friends the show is intended for. My question to Internet researchers is this, what is the fallout of creative projects when the creativity ceases but the material lives forever? Are there any cases that have received attention of people doing creative stuff on the Internet several years ago only to have it brought out in a criminal case or a job screening? Were there any academic studies following the Lonelygirl event, and has anyone looked recently to see if she's profited from it? Are there any theories about how there's functionally no screening process for creativity, the way publishing houses or talent agents used to screen for books / television shows? This will be a cover for our Style section.

Reminder: CFP "Revise: The Art and Science of Contemporary Remix Culture" 2-3 December
by Katie Freund 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello everyone, Just a reminder that abstracts for "Revise: The Art and Science of Contemporary Remix Culture", which will be held from 2-3 December, 2010 at the University of Wollongong, Australia, are due next Thursday, 15 April. The original CFP is below for your reference. Thanks! Call for Papers Revise: The Art and Science of Contemporary Remix Culture Dec 2-3, 2010 University of Wollongong <http://uow.edu.au/> , Wollongong, Australia In a media saturated environment, questions about authoriality and the ownership of cultural content have come to be increasingly urgent. A number of recent, high profile legal cases have highlighted the difficulties involved in adjudicating between different models of ownership and of cultural production. Furthermore, online environments render local, fannish, and 'amateur' forms of cultural production (frequently drawing on 'Big Content') increasingly visible - sometimes to the apparent detriment of these forms of vernacular creativity. Across audio, televisual, cinematic, textual, and other forms, proprietary models of cultural production face challenges in managing, controlling, and monetising content tailored for a mass audience. It is paradoxical that a measure of success for such content is the extent to which it is - often almost immediately - adapted and re-used by vernacular cultures. Conversely, interventions by fans and other niche cultural producers are often understood on the one hand to be forms of innovative appropriation and interventions in the flow of cultural goods, and on the other to be products of unpaid labour, raising the value of material that is already ubiquitous in an attention economy sense. This event aims to bring together researchers whose work investigates aspects of remixing, alongside practitioners working in remix cultures, for an interdisciplinary and collaborative conference. We are also soliciting curated art and video works in addition to presentations by remix practitioners and academic papers. Call for papers Abstracts of 200-250 words should be sent to revise2010(a)gmail.com <mailto:%20revise2010@gmail.com> by 15 April, 2010. Please include your full name (and/or artist/fan name), email address, and institutional affiliation (if applicable) along with the abstract. In addition to formal academic papers, we also welcome roundtable or panel discussion suggestions, and/or presentations by remix practitioners on their art or style. Curated artwork exhibits and live performance submissions are also welcomed. The following is a list of possible themes, but it by no means exhaustive. * Interrogating the boundaries of remix: when did remix 'start'? What of homage, pastiche, and the cover version? How are the boundaries between reference and appropriation established, and to what ends? * 'Reading' remixes: the semiotics of citation. * Literary allusion and remix in poetry: erasure and found poetry. * The artistic tradition of readymades. * Remix, originality, and creative process. * The ethics of appropriation. * Music remix: plunderphonics, DJ culture, hip-hop, electronic dance music sampling cultures and aesthetics. * Intertextuality and ekphrasis: elements of one medium surfacing in another. * Remix offline and on: from dancefloors to netlabels and YouTube; remix and the networked archive. * Remixing in time: repetition and variation of source material; remix and the reconstitution of the past. * Histories of remix. * Fanfiction, slash and textual innovation. * Video: fan vidding, trailer mashups, anime music videos, machinima. * Remix and 'the canon': from JXL's A Little Less Conversation to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. * Open source as remix. * Visual art - digital media remix art, appropriation, combining existing content * Practices of appropriation and engagement with copyright, fair use and other intellectual property doctrines. * The aesthetics and interactions of remix communities of practice. * Remix economics and anti-economics. * The role of industry in remix.

final call for papers: special issue on war, conflict and commemoration in the age of digital reproduction
by Adi Kuntsman 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Digital Icons: Studies in Russian, Eurasian and Central European New Media http://www.digitalicons.org/ **Final call for papers for the Special Issue War, Conflict and Commemoration in the Age of Digital Reproduction ( Autumn 2010)** Wars, conflicts and commemoration occupy the minds of today's users of new media across the globe, especially those in Russia, Eurasia and Central Europe: from digital accounts of 'wars on terror' to virtual museums of political terror under communism; from cyberwars against websites and databases to computer war games; from on-line anti-war organising to virtual memorials to WWII soldiers; from photo-and video- reporting on warfare in Kosovo, Chechnya, Gaza or Georgia to flash-mobs of political protest or racist incitement; from digitalised personal memories and family histories to YouTube clips featuring victorious presidential speeches. The aim of this special issue is to explore the ways wars and conflicts are mediated, commemorated, reported and discussed on the Internet as well as in other forms of new media, including mobile phones, digital broadcasting and computer games. What is the role of new media in understanding, representing, negotiating and remembering (or forgetting) war and terror? What is the status of testimony, evidence and reportage in the age of digital reproduction? What practices of memory do new information and communication technologies entail? What structures of feeling operate in on-line reports and debates around military operations and human suffering? How can digital mediations of conflict bring people and communities together, while tearing others apart? And lastly, how can the embodied, physical violence intensify in digital interactions, and how can it be resisted? This special issue of Digital Icons aims to create a forum for scholars working in the fields of war, conflict, commemoration, digital media, and new media, while simultaneously addressing linguistic, cultural, historical and political aspects of new media use in Russia, Eurasia and Central Europe. We invite original articles that focus on one or more countries of the region, or on their diasporas. We also welcome theoretical essays, reflection by media practitioners on their own practices, contributions from artists and authors, and reviews of relevant projects, books and events. Deadline for submissions: 1 May 2010 Anticipated date of publication: October 2010 Please contact Adi Kuntsman warconflictcommemoration(a)googlemail.com or DI editors editor(a)digitalicons.org to discuss your submission. When submitting your work, please include the following information: a biographical statement (100-120 words in English) and an abstract/description of the submission (or the first paragraph of the essay if appropriate) (about 150 words in English).

by Frans Mäyrä 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi - this might hopefully be of interest to the readers of this list; please also feel free forward this call to any company or individual you know is working on web analytics, online user research tools, game player research, or with tools for multi-method Internet research. Thanks! - Frans *Invitation for Tenders: A Virtual Lab* The social, cultural and economic significance of different virtual spaces (e.g. online learning environments, virtual game worlds, social networking services) has grown steadily during the last decades. At the same time, the need for innovative research methods and tools has increased. In Finland, the Universities of Jyväskylä, Tampere and the Technical University of Tampere have opened an open call for bids for implementing a compact virtual laboratory to facilitate research and education in virtual spaces. At this stage, we are looking for proposals that specify an implementation that is particularly focused on qualitative research methods (e.g. online surveys, self-reporting, user diaries), but multi-method approach, and plans that somehow integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches are considered as a merit. The maximum cost of tenders cannot exceed 12 000 euros (VAT included). Solutions that propose utilization of open source software and implementation mashups of existing social media and analysis tools are very welcome. The Virtual Lab service will be implemented to a server which the customer will specify; the technical details will be negotiated and agreed upon with the maker of chosen bid. Further information is available from: Professor Frans Mäyrä (UTA; frans.mayra(a)uta.fi) and Professor Päivi Häkkinen (JYU; paivi.hakkinen(a)ktl.jyu.fi) The completed tenders, including possible references of earlier successful projects that are related to the fields of social media, virtual worlds and tools for analysis, are asked to send by 5th May, 2010 as an email attachment to address: paivi.hakkinen(a)ktl.jyu.fi. The Cluster for Excellence in Future Learning and Game Research is part of the University Alliance Finland, and a joint spearhead project of the research groups located in the University of Jyväskylä, University of Tampere, and the Technical University of Tampere. Our goal is to advance the understanding and knowhow related to online learning and gaming from both pedagogic, entertainment and technically oriented perspectives.

CFP: The Online Videogame: New Space of Socialization
by Maude Bonenfant 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

CALL FOR PAPERS THE ONLINE VIDEOGAME: NEW SPACE OF SOCIALIZATION Bilingual colloquium (French/English) October 28 , 29 and 30, 2010 Montreal, Quebec, Canada To play is a vital function for the development of individuals. Play is an activity of socialization which enables learning of the rudiments of social interaction. Since the middle of the twentieth century, our societies have placed more value on the playful practice at all ages. As such, playing is more and more present in numerous spheres of society. Huizinga (1938) and Caillois (1958) assert moreover that any playful activity is social, by definition, and gets its real meaning when it is practised in groups. For Gadamer (1960), the charm of playing lies primarily in the fact that it exercises a fascination in the player. Online videogames gather more and more followers worldwide as this phenomenon becomes more important from day to day. It is no longer necessary to question play as a way to spend time. Through the intervention of videogames, play has also become a way to develop social networks, learn new communication skills and tools, a way to learn a foreign language, a place to keep or develop friendships, an opportunity to participate in an online community, or even a way to be exposed to new cultures. Online videogames have become a media of socialization, that is to say, devices of mediation and mediatization which allow people to share large-scale information thanks to its network of exchanges and meetings. Such spaces of socialization arouse interactions convenient to the construction of the “self” and to the renewal of the representations of others and the world. Online videogames can facilitate socialization and be a carrier of values which are not necessarily different than those found in society. Online videogames can also be a place that facilitate values that are not necessarily present in society in general. Indeed, the experience as much as the manners and representations in videogames contribute to the moulding of cognitive modes, to the development of both technical and social skills and, in a more general way, to the reconfiguration of one’s relationship to the world. From this perspective, it is imperative to explore the modes of socialization shaped by online videogames and to question the various forms of instrumentalization, of domination, of exclusion, as well as forms of dependence and addiction which this kind of community can facilitate. The criteria from which the players give a value and organize their relations into a hierarchy with other players is potentially defined by the customs and contexts of online videogames. The observations, the descriptions, and the analysis of the manners and representations that are connected to the experience of online videogames become essential as a generation is subject to building their social referents partially through playful cyber universes. This type of study is justified all the more as players become imbedded in innovative modes of socialization, rehabilitation, social reintegration, and learning, not only in school and at home, but also in their workplace. This colloquium aims to make inventory of the researches within game studies, while online videogames are becoming more and more popular. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following themes: • Forms of socialization in online videogames • Communicational stakes in online videogames • Questions of ethics and aesthetics in online videogames • Innovations and types of appropriation in online videogames • Questions of law, economy, and politics in online videogames • Design of games and the communications tools in online videogames • Therapeutic and educational customs in online videogames SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: People interested to participate in this colloquium have to submit an abstract treating of the higher presented theme (max. 3000 characters, included spaces), as well as a short biographic note. Abstracts should be sent to: recherchehomoludens(a)gmail.com. CALENDAR Abstract deadline : April 28, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: May 17, 2010 Full Paper deadline: August 27, 2010 Colloquium dates : October 28, 29 and 30, 2010 INVITED SPEAKERS: Mia Consalvo, PhD; Nicolas Ducheneaut, PhD; Sébastien Genvo, PhD; Miguel Sicart, PhD; Bart Simon, PhD; T.L Taylor, PhD. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE : The colloquium is organized by the research group Homo Ludens (Université du Québec à Montréal), with the collaboration of Technoculture, Art and Games (Concordia University) Charles Perraton, professor at the Department of social and public communication (Université du Québec à Montréal) Magda Fusaro, professor at the Department of management and technology (Université du Québec à Montréal) Coordination : Maude Bonenfant, postdoctoral researcher, Technoculture, Art and Games (Concordia University) recherchehomoludens(a)gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------ APPEL À COMMUNICATION LE JEU VIDEO EN LIGNE : NOUVEL ESPACE DE SOCIALISATION Colloque bilingue (français/anglais) 28, 29 et 30 octobre 2010 Montréal, Québec, Canada Jouer est une fonction vitale pour le développement des individus. Le jeu est une activité de socialisation qui permet d’apprendre les rudiments de l’interaction sociale. Nos sociétés, depuis le milieu du vingtième siècle, valorisent davantage la pratique ludique à tous les âges. Ainsi, le jeu est de plus en plus présent dans de nombreuses sphères de la société. Huizinga (1938) et Caillois (1958) affirment d’ailleurs que toute activité ludique est, par essence, sociale et prend tout son sens lorsqu’elle est pratiquée en groupe. Pour Gadamer (1960), l’attrait du jeu réside d'abord dans le fait qu’il exerce une fascination sur le joueur. Ainsi, les jeux vidéo en réseau réunissent-ils de plus en plus d’adeptes à travers le monde et ce phénomène prend de l’importance de jour en jour. Il n’est plus seulement question de jouer pour passer le temps, mais de développer un réseau social, des habiletés de communication et d’utilisation des différents outils liées à l’usage des jeux, parfois d’apprendre une langue étrangère, de conserver ou de développer des amitiés, de participer à une communauté en ligne, de s’ouvrir à de nouvelles cultures par l’entremise de la pratique vidéoludique, etc. Ces jeux deviennent de véritables médias de socialisation, c’est-à-dire des dispositifs de médiation et de médiatisation qui permettent de partager l’information à grande échelle grâce à son réseau d’échanges et de rencontres. De tels espaces de socialisation suscitent des échanges propices à la construction de soi et au renouvellement des représentations d’autrui et du monde. Le jeu vidéo en réseau peut favoriser la socialisation et être porteur de valeurs qui ne viennent pas nécessairement en contradiction avec celles de la société ou favoriser l’émergence de nouvelles valeurs. En effet, l’expérience (autant les usages que les représentations) des jeux vidéo contribue au façonnement des modes cognitifs, au développement des compétences techniques et sociales et, de manière plus générale, à la reconfiguration du rapport au monde. Voilà pourquoi il y a lieu de s’interroger sur les modes de socialisation mis en forme par les jeux vidéo en réseau et de questionner les différentes formes d’instrumentalisation (faux amis), de domination, d’exclusion et de dépendance que ce genre de communauté peut favoriser. Les critères à partir desquels les joueurs donnent une valeur et hiérarchisent leurs relations aux autres se trouvent peut-être transformés par l’usage et la forme des jeux vidéo en réseau. L’observation, la description et l’analyse des usages et représentations liés à l’expérience des jeux en réseau deviennent essentielles alors qu’une génération est sujette à construire ses référents sociaux en partie à travers les univers cyberludiques. Ce genre d’étude est d’autant plus justifié que les joueurs peuvent mettre en lumière, par leurs usages, des approches innovantes des modes de socialisation, de réadaptation, de réinsertion sociale et d’apprentissage, non seulement à l’école et à la maison, mais également en milieu de travail. Ce colloque se propose de faire l’état des lieux de la recherche dans le domaine des jeux vidéo en ligne alors que la popularité de ce type de jeux vidéo prend des proportions extraordinaires. Les thématiques suivantes seront abordées lors du colloque (mais d’autres thématiques pourront être abordées) : • Les formes de socialisation dans les jeux en ligne • Les enjeux communicationnels dans les jeux en ligne • Les questions d’éthique et d’esthétique dans les jeux en ligne • Les innovations et les types d’appropriation dans les jeux en ligne • Les questions de droit, d’économie et de politique dans les jeux en ligne • Le design de jeu et les outils de communication dans les jeux en ligne • L’usage thérapeutique, pédagogique et en milieu de travail des jeux vidéo en ligne PARTICIPATION AU COLLOQUE : Les personnes intéressées à participer à ce colloque doivent soumettre un projet de communication traitant du thème présenté plus haut (max. 3000 caractères, espaces compris), ainsi qu’une courte notice biographique. Le tout devra être envoyé par courrier électronique à : recherchehomoludens(a)gmail.com. CALENDRIER Date limite d’envoi des propositions de communication : 28 avril 2010 Notification d’acceptation ou de refus des propositions : 17 mai 2010 Remise de la version complète des communications : 27 août 2010 Tenue du colloque : 28, 29 et 30 octobre 2010 LES CONFÉRENCIERS INVITÉS : Mia Consalvo, PhD; Nicolas Ducheneaut, PhD; Sébastien Genvo, PhD; Miguel Sicart, PhD; Bart Simon, PhD; T.L Taylor, PhD.
