Public Urban Media Tour of West End London during ICA
by Scott Rodgers 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

A tour scheduled to coincide with the International Communication Association conference in London (but open to the public) The Mediated City A Tour of Media and Mediation in West End London Led by Joel McKim and Scott Rodgers This tour uses West End London as a lens into ‘the mediated city’. It explores how the city not only hosts, but is in many ways constituted through, media. City living compels us to use, need and even desire media content and devices in quite particular ways. Meanwhile, media forms, technologies and industries exist in and are even ‘built-into’ urban spaces: for example the street, the tube, the suburb, the bar, the public square. The aim of this tour is twofold: first, to highlight how the city provides a unique lens to critically study, understand and define media; and second, to use media and mediation as a lens to understand the city. Though a range of buildings and neighbourhoods associated with major media industries will be visited, the tour also focuses on observing some more unconventional forms of urban media and communication. Date, place and registration: Wedsnesday 19 June, 2013, 12.30-3.30pm Numbers are limited, so booking is essential – visit http://ica2013mediatour.eventbrite.co.uk Attendees will meet at the southwest corner of Fitzroy Square at 12.30pm (directions at Eventbrite link). The tour lasts 3 hours, ending at Leicester Square. For further information: Contact Joel McKim (j.mckim(a)bbk.ac.uk) or Scott Rodgers (s.rodgers(a)bbk.ac.uk)

Conditions of Mediation preconference: Limited spaces still available!
by Scott Rodgers 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

LIMITED SPACES STILL AVAILABLE (INCLUDING AT 50% REDUCED STUDENT RATE) Conditions of Mediation: Phenomenological Approaches to Media, Technology and Communication 2013 International Communication Association (ICA) Preconference ICA Theory, Philosophy and Critique Division 17 June 2013, Birkbeck, University of London Conference website (includes full conference programme and registration details): http://conditionsofmediation.wordpress.com Registration deadline: 11 June 2012 (end of day) Confirmed keynote speakers: · Dr David Berry, Swansea University · Professor Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, University of London · Professor Graham Harman, American University of Cairo · Professor Shaun Moores, University of Sunderland · Professor Lisa Parks, University of California Santa Barbara · Professor Paddy Scannell, University of Michigan Conference Outline: Media theory seems to have reached a moment in which it is effectively orthodox to presume we must pay attention first and foremost to the intricacies of everyday experience. Ethnographic audience studies, for example, have attacked assumptions that there is a discrete relationship between media content and audiences, arguing that media forms, content and technologies have indeterminate and multifaceted significance within the daily rhythms and spaces of their everyday lives. Studies of digital and networked media, meanwhile, have put into question the very notion of ‘audiences’ as the starting point for understanding mediated experience. For some, accounting for the intricacies of everyday mediated experience has implied asking people what they actually do with media. But for others this is not enough: instead, the question is what constitutes the conditions of media experience in the first place. How do political configurations of discourses and inherited dispositions prefigure mediated action? How do material arrangements themselves constitute environments for mediated experience? How might we account for nonhuman agency, for example the ways in which software objects interact not only with human perceptions but also each other? Such questions point to a renewed confidence in explaining not just how but also why media, technology and communication are experienced as they are – all the while resisting a reversion to functionalism. These interests in the very conditions of mediation suggest, if sometimes only implicitly, an emerging interest in a phenomenology of media. Indeed, phenomenology – broadly the structuring of perception – has seemingly obvious relevance for recent academic interests in media experience. Yet its use or invocation in media studies has been scattered. While this might simply reflect the considerable diversity of phenomenological philosophies and their applications, there have also been concerted efforts recently to rethink phenomenology across the social sciences and humanities. Paired with recent interests in mediated experience, the time seems apt to reassess what it might mean to theorize media phenomenologically. Conditions of Mediation seeks to bring together scholars from a very wide range of perspectives – such as media history, media archaeology, audience studies, political theory, metaphysics, software studies, science and technology studies, digital aesthetics, cultural geography and urban studies –to reflect explicitly on the phenomenological groundings of their work on media. The phenomenological thinking to which participants might connect will be broad-based, ranging from core thinkers such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Sartre to those with looser affiliations to phenomenology per se, for example Arendt, Bergson, Bourdieu, Deleuze, Garfinkel, Ingold, Latour, Whitehead and Harman. In short, the overall aim is that this conference goes beyond a mere congregation of media phenomenologists. Instead, it will encourage critical reflection on what various readings of phenomenology might offer media and technology studies that other approaches cannot. Conversely, it will also welcome reflections on the limits of phenomenological approaches in philosophical, theoretical, political and empirical terms. If you have any inquiries, please email both: Scott Rodgers (s.rodgers(a)bbk.ac.uk) and Tim Markham (t.markham(a)bbk.ac.uk)

This year the circulation of smartphones outnumbered the volume of mobile phones. Most mobile devices (including tablets and pocket size digital cameras) have a HD video capacity and provide Internet connectivity. Since the proliferation of apps five years ago, new opportunities for creative mobile media production emerged. Mobile filmmaking is now an established format ranging from music video to TV commercial production. A number of contemporary apps feature location-based services that can create new experiences and representations of places. Mobile filmmaking also provides prospects for citizen journalist to expand the domain of videography. Contemporary forms of collaborative filmmaking projects connect 21^st century citizens and filmmakers across the globe creating new forms of digital, networked and transmedia storytelling. As an egalitarian filmmaking tool and technology, mobile filmmaking provides access to a new generation of filmmakers. In alignment with the ubiquity of social media, mobile communication is shifting towards an increasingly visual realm. Live streaming and micro formats of mobile filmmaking can be compared to early cinema and actuality film, while mobile short films resonate approaches and practices known from the field of experimental documentary and avant-garde moving-image practices. The 3nd International Mobile Creativity and Mobile Innovation Symposium will explore the following mobile developments and dynamics in a transdisciplinary context. � MOBILE & PEDAGOGY � MOBILE & MEDIA PRODUCTION � MOBILE & AESTHETIC � MOBILE & SOUND � MOBILE & HYBRID ART � MOBILE & INTERACTIVITY � MOBILE & SPACE MINA welcomes presentations in a variety of formats including academic papers, workshops, poster presentations, performances, project showcases and screenings.

Developments in molecular biology, genetics and nanotechnologies applied to this field have opened up innovative research perspectives, generating different fields of experimentation and application, posing original ethical and moral issues. All this has made possible new diagnostic and visualization technologies, coupled with innovative therapies. The prospect of personalized medicine has favored translational research, making it a driving force, creating unprecedented alliances between scientists, doctors, pharmaceutical industries and patients. Fascinating and complex transformations take place in laboratories, a crucial setting for activities and practices in the multi-faceted territory of biomedical research. Laboratories have become nodes of articulated networks, making it no longer possible to consider them as single entities. In light of these changes, a wide range of actors - researchers, scientific instruments, data-bases, experts in bio-informatics and bio-statistics, pharmaceutical companies, clinicians, drugs, patients, cells, ethical and regulatory issues - have become involved. This special issue calls for original theoretical and empirical contributions highlighting the following themes: - relationships between basic and biomedical research; - biomedical controversies; - development of scientific tools, infrastructures and big-data research; - visualization technologies and their implications in and out of the laboratory; - new links between pharmacological trials, scientists, doctors and patients and their social implications; - plurality of ethics and biomedicine. We expect to receive contributions on the topics above and other possible interrelated dimensions. *Deadline for abstract submissions: August 25th, 2013.* Abstracts (in English) with a maximum length of 1000 words should be sent as email attachments to redazione(a)tecnoscienza.net and carbon copied to the guest editors.

I have found the following definition and paper to be useful when trying to define 'social media'. “Social Media is a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of User Generated Content” (Kaplan & Haenlein 2010: 61) They also do a handy "Classification of Social Media by social presence/media richness and self-presentation/self-disclosure" - e.g. blogs are high in self-presentation/self-disclosure, but low in social presence/media richness. Kaplan, A. M. & M. Haenlein 2010. Users of the world, unite! The challenges and opportunities of Social Media.

CFP: Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media Graduate Student Special Issue - Old Against New, or a Coming of Age? Rethinking Broadcasting in an Era of Electronic Media
by Stacy Blasiola 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

*Call for Papers* Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media Special Issue *Old Against New, or a Coming of Age? Rethinking Broadcasting in an Era of Electronic Media* In this special issue edited and authored by graduate students, JOBEM is calling on emerging scholars to redefine “broadcasting” and explore the relevance of this term in an age of electronic media. We believe that graduate students are uniquely situated to change the conversation around new and old media, rethinking both what it means for media to come of age and how to study such a phenomenon. *Special Issue Coordinating Editor-in-Chief* Stacy Blasiola (University of Illinois at Chicago, sblasi2(a)uic.edu) *Special Issue Guest Editors* R. Stuart Geiger (University of California, Berkeley) Airi Lampinen(Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT & University of Helsinki) *Deadline for Extended Abstracts:* August 19, 2013 *Full Paper Invitation:* September 22, 2013 *Deadline for Full Papers:* January 6, 2014 *Final Decisions:* May 6, 2014 *Contact:* JOBEMgradIssue(a)gmail.com As guest editors for the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, we know that the term “broadcasting” certainly has the connotations of a rapidly-disappearing era. There is a strong temptation to sharply distinguish between old and new media, and “broadcasting” (and even “electronic”) is a term that is now often associated with the old. We are constantly told that we are in the midst of a digital/social media revolution that will make the unidirectional, mass communication model obsolete. Yet a cursory glance into either the history of media technology or the contemporary use of new media platforms complicates these dominant narratives. Do we need new terms to help us think about what it means for new media to come of age, or do we need to reappropriate old terms? Do ideas about new media revolutions help us better understand the complicated relationships between radio and early television programming, telegraph networks and emerging telephone infrastructure, or musicians and the various shifts in the recording industry? Do notions of social media disruptions help us understand how participation takes place in sites like Wikipedia, reddit, or YouTube, or how these sites are situated in relation to more established news and media industries? What is the relevance of “old media” terms such as “broadcasting” for studying today’s social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, tumblr, and Pinterest? We call on graduate students to start a new thread in the conversation about what it means for media to be old and new. For us, rethinking “broadcasting” in an era of electronic media is to neither hastily disregard the legacy of these terms nor cling to them too rigidly. As graduate students, we feel a curious resonance with the contradictory expectations surrounding new media forms. We are called to be apprentices, learning to participate in a longstanding and well-established institution; yet at the same time we are called to be radical revolutionaries, disrupting old ways of thinking. Graduate students, like many new media services and platforms, face many anxieties about what it means to come of age in a landscape already filled with towering figures. Many of the issues we face are longstanding problems that every generation before us also confronted, but we also face many concerns that are unique to our current historical situation. As emerging scholars, we believe that graduate students are uniquely situated to change the conversation around new and old media, rethinking both what it means for media to come of age and how to study such a phenomenon. In this special issue, we call on graduate students to redefine what “broadcasting” means and explore the relevance of this term in an age of electronic media. We intentionally leave this open to interpretation. We seek papers that will theoretically and empirically advance our understanding of the diverse array of practices, content, people, technologies, industries, and policies that collectively constitute our contemporary media ecology. We call for papers from a wide variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary fields, recognizing that scholarship can take a variety of different forms. We invite authors to: - propose novel theoretical or methodological frameworks to the study of media and broadcasting - critically review and synthesize existing academic literatures about media and broadcasting - discursively analyze various rhetorics and narratives around/in media and broadcasting - document case studies about historical and/or contemporary media and broadcasting forms - relate ethnographic, qualitative, or quantitative studies about the role of media and broadcasting in various social contexts - contact us about any other paper forms, or if you are unsure if your paper is suitable for this special issue * * *Deadlines and Submission Instructions* Timeline Deadline for Extended Abstracts: August 19, 2013 Invitations to Submit Full Papers: September 22, 2013 Deadline to Submit Full Papers: January 6, 2014 Final Decisions to Authors: May 6, 2014 Final Revisions for Full Papers: May 26, 2014 Publication of the Special Issue: September 2014 All submissions must be graduate student driven, meaning that the primary authors should be enrolled as graduate students (at least) at the time of submitting extended abstracts. Although collaborative work with non-graduate students is acceptable, we seek papers that are primarily conceptualized and authored by graduate students. Collaborative work with other students is highly encouraged. Importantly, the corresponding, lead author–who will be responsible for the paper and interactions with the editors–must be a graduate student. Because we anticipate a large number of submissions, we will not initially accept full papers for review. Interested authors must first send a proposal of their paper in an extended abstract format of 600-800 words, not including references. The extended abstract should clearly introduce and outline the paper, giving reviewers from a wide variety of academic fields enough context and detail to evaluate its feasibility as a full paper, intellectual merit, relevance to the special issue theme, and broader impacts. As the research for these papers may not yet be complete, we do not expect that extended abstracts will necessarily include all of the paper’s findings or conclusions. However, the extended abstracts should outline what kinds of findings or conclusions the authors expect to present in the final paper. Specifically, extended abstracts should include: - a title - a description of the paper’s core topic, case, problem, and/or argument - the methodological approach, theoretical background, and/or disciplinary field - the paper’s relevance to related academic literatures - expected findings or conclusions - expected contributions to the study of media Extended abstracts must be mailed as an attachment to JOBEMgradIssue(a)gmail.com and must be sent in .rtf, .doc or .docx format. We cannot accept .pdf submissions. Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to submit a full paper of no more than 7,500 words (including references). Invited full papers will be subject to a formal peer review process, and papers will only be published if they pass JOBEM’s standard reviewing process. Authors must adhere to a strict schedule for submission and revisions. Authors whose manuscripts do not get accepted to the special issue are encouraged to consider submitting revised papers to JOBEM through the normal submission process. All submissions must adhere to the formatting guidelines for Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media. Manuscripts must adhere to APA style format. Complete submission guidelines can be accessed at http://www.beaweb.org/jobem-guidelines.htm.Full papers must be submitted online at:http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hbem (select “Special Issue: Grad Issue” as a manuscript type).
