New book on Digital Media
by Andrew White 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

Digital Media and Society: Transforming Economics, Politics and Social Practices By Andrew White Palgrave Macmillan, 2014. 240 pages. Hardcover/paperback/e-book: http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/digital-media-and-society-andrew-white/… http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Media-Society-Transforming-Economics-ebook/… Reviews "White has provided a ground-breaking examination of the implications of digital media for the fundamental workings of society. Its international perspective makes this new classic required reading for any serious student of media in the age of global and digital communication." - John Pavlik, Rutgers, USA "In his new book, Andrew White takes the bird's eye view of digital media. He carefully guides us through the theoretical minefields opened up by the networked world: identity politics, the distinction between private/public, the democratic state, economics, surveillance, and other key concepts. White appears a reliable guide who knows how to strike a balance between complexity and elucidation, between argument and exposition, between summary and probe. I am confident this book will be very useful for students and faculty alike. It addresses poignant issues in a clear voice." - José van Dijck, University of Amsterdam, and author of The Culture of Connectivity(2013) Summary Referencing key contemporary debates on issues such as surveillance, identity, the global financial crisis, the digital divide and Internet politics, this book is a critical intervention in discussions on the impact of the proliferation of digital media technologies on politics, the economy and social practices. Divided into three parts, the first highlights the way in which digital media challenges normative conceptions of the public sphere and discusses this in relation to the creation of new forms of knowledge through the digitization of scholarly resources and the impact of digital media on traditional conceptions of identity. The second part focuses on the digital economy, emphasizing the opportunities it affords through the creative industries, as well as the threat posed by the computerization of the financial industry, and the third part focuses on uses of digital media through a number of case studies relating to online reading, the new social movements, surveillance and the developing world.

Just out: The Allure of the Selfie by Brook Wendt
by Geert Lovink 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

http://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/no-08-the-allure-of-the-selfie-… INC Network Notebooks #08 The Allure of the Selfie--Instagram and the New Self Portrait by Brooke Wendt Order a free copy of the print book by filling out the form below. If you want to order different INC titles at once, please go to Order INC publications. About the publication: Over 130 million images with the hashtag ‘selfie’ have been uploaded to the social media platform Instagram. In The Allure of the Selfie: Instagram and the New Self-Portrait, Brooke Wendt examines the significant hold that the ‘selfie’, or the digital self-portrait, has over self and society. Media theorist Vilém Flusser observed that society could become programmed to snap pictures for the sole benefit of cameras, as though under a ‘magical spell’, if photographs continued to be undecoded. Wendt examines this magical spell by analyzing users’ self-portraits on Instagram, one of the most popular contemporary platforms for image production. Marshall McLuhan’s reframing of the Narcissus myth elucidates the allure of the selfie. McLuhan notes that Narcissus was numb to his mirror image and did not recognize his reflection as his own – he thought his image was that of another. As though unaware that we are looking at ourselves, we quickly become numb to our selfies, taking numerous pictures of ourselves without hesitation. It is the promise of pluripotentiality that fascinates us; however, we are also perpetually tempted and trapped by the notion of creating an ideal self with digital tools such as filter and hashtag functions. In the five essays comprising The Allure of the Selfie: Instagram and the New Self-Portrait, Brooke Wendt thus questions the changing nature of identity and the self-portrait in the age of Instagram. About the author: Brooke Wendt is a visual culture critic, photographer, and curator. She holds a BFA in Photography from Kendall College of Art and Design (Grand Rapids, Michigan) and an MA in Critical Theory and Creative Research from Pacific Northwest College of Art (Portland, Oregon). Currently, Brooke Wendt works as a strategic researcher in the design strategy field and questions the purposes of new technologies. Network Notebooks editors: Geert Lovink and Miriam Rasch.

CFP: Digital Media, Power, and Democracy in Election Campaigns: A Workshop

Please circulate widely! ~Jenny Associate Professor | School of Information Studies Vice President | Association of Internet Researchers Syracuse University 220 Hinds Hall Syracuse, New York 13244 t 315.443.1823 f 315.443.5673 e jstromer(a)syr.edu w www.stromer-galley.com<http://www.stromer-galley.com/> w http://www.aoir.org<http://www.aoir.org/> ischool.syr.edu My New Book: Presidential Campaigning in the Internet Age<http://global.oup.com/academic/product/presidential-campaigning-in-the-inte…> +++++++ DIGITAL MEDIA, POWER, AND DEMOCRACY IN ELECTION CAMPAIGNS: A WORKSHOP Conveners: Andrew Chadwick and Jennifer Stromer-Galley Over recent years, the uprisings in Eastern Europe and the Middle East have focused attention on the question of digital media and political power. This has resulted in a wave of research on the relationships between technological change, mobilization, and revolutionary activism in authoritarian and semi-democratic political contexts. While this research has generated important insights, we suggest that it should now be joined by fresh analysis of the role of digital media in election campaigns. We call for papers that are international or comparative in orientation, that present new evidence, and that connect the study of digital media explicitly with questions concerning power and democracy. We invite authors to examine established democracies both in and beyond the United States and Europe, and in emerging and what comparative regime theorists have termed "difficult democracies" across the world. Our aim is to bring together scholars for a two-day workshop at Greenberg House, Syracuse University's base in Washington, D.C., on June 25 and 26, 2015. Papers will be considered for peer review and potential inclusion in a special issue of the International Journal of Press/Politics (IJPP) to be published in 2016. AIMS Central to the political life of all types of democracies are the organizations, practices, and media technologies of election campaigns, yet we know surprisingly little about the changes that have occurred in this field over recent years. We invite papers that explore what we see as the increasingly contested issue of the balance of power between political elites, digital media actors, and citizens in election campaigning. Our aim is to orient this project around two classical and fruitfully contested concepts: power and democracy. We are keen to attract papers that explore continuity and change in the power relations that shape campaigns. We conceive of these power relations in three principal ways. First, we see a need to focus on the internal communication structures of party and campaign organizations. How and to what extent have digital media changed the organizational characteristics of parties and campaigns? Are internal hierarchies becoming flatter? Are newer forms of communicative expertise shifting the balance of power between candidates, elite campaign professionals, and rank and file activists? What roles are emerging for the growing practices of data analytics, dataveillance, and voter activation? Second, scholars may focus on power relations in the communication flows between party and campaign organizations and the wider constellation of organizations and quasi-organizations within which citizen participation now occurs. To what extent are the boundaries between parties and campaigns and looser citizen activist networks and advocacy groups being blurred by the use of digital media? What is the role of specialist digital consultants? To what extent have the mid-2000s predictions about the loosening of communicative and organizational discipline in parties and campaigns proved correct? Are citizens' and activists' uses of digital media playing a role in hastening the decline or even the "death" of political parties, as has been widely discussed, for example, in the United Kingdom over recent years? Third, papers may examine the interactions between ordinary citizens and party and campaign organizations. As campaigns and parties spread their messaging and involvement efforts to social media, the affordances of those media open up possibilities for increased interaction and communication between ordinary citizens and the official campaign apparatus. But the presence of affordances does not guarantee their use. In what ways are citizens involving themselves in the workings of campaigns? In what ways or to what extent are parties and campaigns actually opening up their organizations, messaging, and planning to ordinary citizens? Are such actions carefully structured by campaigns or are they genuinely open to the ideas and strategies of citizens? We primarily seek papers that advance empirical knowledge. Undergirding our interest in these themes, however, is intense normative curiosity about the potential democratizing effects of digital media, not only in relatively "settled" liberal-democratic contexts but also in the globally important difficult-democratic cases that increasingly inform thinking about real-world democracy, such as, for example, Brazil, India, Russia, Mexico, Singapore, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, the Balkan states, and parts of central and eastern Europe. Our concern with the difficult democracies emerges because it could be the case that in these political systems important power shifts are more likely. We would like authors to directly address the question of whether the adoption of digital media is increasing citizens' influence over the hierarchical organizational structures that have typically dominated parties and election campaigns since the rise of the mass broadcast era. We also want authors to think about conditionality: the balance of forces and causes that shape whether changes in mediated campaigning are democratizing or not democratizing in their effects. We have no orthodoxy regarding data and methods. We foresee a range of approaches: single country and comparative studies; papers adopting methods of big data analysis; those adopting quantitative approaches; and those situated within qualitative and ethnographic traditions. PROCEDURE AND SCHEDULE *November 14, 2014: 500-word paper proposals due. Please email your proposals to andrew.chadwick(a)rhul.ac.uk and jstromer(a)syr.edu *November 28, 2014: Requests for full papers to authors and invitations to the workshop at Greenberg House, Syracuse University's dedicated base in Washington D.C., to be held June 25-26, 2015. *June 1, 2015: Full workshop papers to Andrew and Jennifer. *June 25-26, 2015: Workshop.
