Online community data
by Prasadith Buddhitha 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

Dear All, I am a postgraduate student at Uni of Ottawa Canada. Currently I am looking for some online community data for churn related prediction. I am mainly focussing on gathering textual data where users are preferably talking about a product or a service (e.g. users of a particular video game). If the data is from users who are subscribed for a particular product or service and are expressing their opinion regarding the product/service, it will be highly beneficial for the research that I am planning on undertaking. If I could kindly get some advice or guidance regarding collection of such data it will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much. Thanks and Best Regards, Prasadith.

To blur or not to blur? Twitter profile pics and handles
by Jodi Sperber 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

Hello, AoIR community. I'm in search other's experience or advice regarding the use of Twitter handles and profile images within research. Not a new topic, I know. But one that is far from settled. My dissertation research is focused on a specific health community formed on Twitter, bound by a specific hashtag. They host a popular weekly chat, but frequently post otherwise as well (overall, they average around 1400 tweets/week). There is nothing I can see that would be embarrassing or private about the pics and handles; to the contrary I think they add context and depth to the content as they often provide insight as to how a user chooses to present themselves. I searched the archives of this list and found a small number of previous posts, including one from August 2014 (thank you, Charles Ess!) regarding the use of images, but these were for politicians, who are generally expected to have higher public visibility than general citizens participating in a (still public) hashtag-bound community. I've also gone back to the AoIR ethical guidelines doc, which is helpful to consider angles of the question; the debate still lingers in my head, however. Any thoughts or resources you might have on this topic would be most appreciated. Thank you, Jodi. -- Jodi Sperber, MSW, MPH Stalk: Twitter: jsperber <https://twitter.com/jsperber> Skype: jodisperber Read: www.healthissocial.net

Musique et sciences sociales <http://transposition.revues.org/1143#tocfrom1n1> Issue 6 (2016): Listening lines, online listening <http://transposition.revues.org/1143#tocfrom1n2> Coordination: St?phan-?lo?se Gras et Peter Szendy Since the 1990s, listening has been the subject of growing interest, in terms of not only its social history, but the related technical media and philosophical aspects. Research such as that presented by James H. Johnson *(Listening in Paris*, 1996), Peter Szendy *(?coute, une histoire de nos oreilles*, 2001), Jean-Luc Nancy *(? l??coute*, 2002), Jonathan Sterne *(The Audible Past*, 2003) and more recently, Martin Kaltenecker *(L?Oreille divis?e*, 2010), Michael Bull (*Sound Studies*, 2013) and Veit Erlmann *(Reason and Resonance*, 2014) has given rise to a new field, although it is certainly not a homogenous field that can simply be contained in the category of ?sound studies?. Thus, there is a renewed curiosity about listening, and the recent attention it has garnered might say something about the major changes permeating our contemporary practices as musicians, musicologists, researchers, scientists, artists, music lovers and Internet users, or in other words, the practices of*listening subjects* in general. But what we would like to elicit with this sixth issue of *Transposition *is a more specific approach to these reflections. In making *listening lines* the theme of this Issue, the idea is essentially to examine a context that prompts a rethinking of listening, that is, the massive development of *online listening* in the second half of the 2000s. Long thought of as a fairly marginal behaviour by music 'pirates' and a threat to the music industry, listening on digital platforms is now the preferred means of accessing music for a rising number of listeners. Like CDs and radio in their time, has streaming become the ubiquitous and totalising contemporary form of a 'musical museum'? In any case, the stabilisation of digital listening practices and media undoubtedly raises new issues in terms of the technological, industrial, economic, political and cultural impact. Beyond the *shifting* of music to new formats, this Issue of our review seeks to explore the nature and scope of the significant changes in the ways we listen to music. What effects might have the *digital age* ? the vast movement involving not only the computerisation of musical objects but the massive socialisation of digital technologies ? on listening and *listening bodies*? At the crux of the matter is the prescriptive nature of the formats and operations on which platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Deezer and Rdio are based. In this sense, talking about *listening lines* also suggests that these platforms are far from mere technical systems; they are in fact creating or solidifying*guidelines* to listening, that is, (a) certain regime(s) of listening. In trying to identify their origins, we can trace the genealogy back well before the advent of digital distribution and streaming as such. Studying the salons or the art of conversation might, for example, provide insight into elements such as online automated recommendation systems ('X likes?' as an invitation to listening) and chatting. The history of formats (such as that explored by Jonathan Sterne in *Mp3. The Meaning of a Format), *the history of forms of musical presentation and distribution (evolution from concert and radio programming and discography albums to bluetooth via mobile phones in sub-Saharan Africa) and the history of audiovisual media (video clips, interactive experiences, etc.) also seem to be fertile grounds for the exploration of how these new media are affecting listening. What this Issue seeks to do is to contextualise what is happening with the massification of digital listening on platforms and mobile devices within one or more genealogical *lineages*. The question we might ask is whether online listening experiences, once placed in the broad scope of history, indicate the emergence of a new musical culture and new audiences. In the end, this long time span surely allows us to understand, examine and perhaps shift the new*partition lines* of listening, i.e., the divides and borders that appear even within the supposedly neutral and neutralising framework of 'sharing'. Making playlists, browsing vast sound databases and the simple act of 'liking' are all ways in which we are called, more than ever before, to share our listening. But in a broader sense, do they not also raise the question of *distributing* in the double sense of the French word *partage*, meaning both dividing up and pooling? In essence, these *partition lines* are dictated by the very distributions of our musical sensibilities and our listening experiences configured by contemporary digital media. Possible areas to explore for a contribution: ? the social history of music media and genres ; ? the history of musical sensibilities; ? critical theory of popular music and new media; ? the sociology of musical tastes and culture and their mediations in the digital sphere; ? the sociology of audiences reached by these new musical mediations; ? epistemology and/or the history of *sound studies;* ? transformations of the musical instrumentarium and the history of perception; ? the aesthetics of sound and digital imaging; ? artistic works and experiences that undermine or replay the contemporary regimes of musical experience. Proposals for papers (in French or English), to include a presentation of the research methodology and key findings, should be sent before *October 15th 2015* to the following address: transposition.submission(a)gmail.com. The deadline for accepted papers is *January 30th 2016.* ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 06:44:50 -0400 From: Stuart Shulman <stuart.shulman(a)gmail.com> To: Evelina Liliequist <evelina.liliequist(a)umu.se> Cc: "air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org" <air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org> Subject: Re: [Air-L] social media analysis Message-ID: <CAJd4SnddRg66zXNpo7-Q+zLgxUVp+0T=DijGAPeAdiJKat0iPA(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 One thing worth noting: Facebook just changed its API recently.

Unlike with Twitter, there are no time limits on how far back you can go, so you can pull a page's entire history going back years. I've developed a Python script to do this which is available here: https://github.com/dfreelon/fb_scrape_public I haven't tested this extensively but folks have been asking me about it so I thought I'd throw it up.

CFP: Internet in Southeast Asia – Symposium at Monash University Malaysia, December 2015
by Julian Hopkins 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

Dear all, we hope to be able to welcome internet researchers with an interest in Southeast Asia at the following symposium. *Call for Papers* The internet is a convergence point for diverse social, cultural, economic, and political movements. As populations in Southeast Asia connect to the internet, its role in mediating interactions at all levels of society is becoming increasingly important. From interpersonal family relations to ties between government and citizens, the expansion of mediated social interaction, media content, and tools for social engagement is influencing how individuals express themselves and engage with these various contexts. One of the key questions in social research of the internet relates to its influence on existing power relations, whether or not they are changing, and the effects of these changes. “Power” can be broadly interpreted and applied to a variety of contexts. For instance, in the political realm, the internet plays an important role in the dynamics of democracy, press freedom, activism, and political campaigns. In popular culture, the rise of social media gives rise to the possibility that individuals can bypass established media industry channels to become celebrities, challenging past notions of elitism and exclusivity. These negotiations of power also take place in economics, where digitally-based small-scale businesses emerge as effective competitors, and the divisions between producers and consumers become blurred. In religion, the role of formal religious institutions as the primary source of spiritual knowledge is also being challenged. We welcome submissions of original research from established and early career researchers, as well as PhD candidates, to explore how the internet affects negotiations of power in social, cultural and political dimensions in the Southeast Asian region. *Keynote speaker* Dr John Postill is the Vice-Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University, Melbourne, and Digital Anthropology Fellow at University College London (UCL). He is currently conducting fieldwork on digital activism and political change in Indonesia. *Submission Details* Paper proposals should include an abstract of 300 words accompanied by a short bio of 100 words that includes your institutional affiliation by July 15, 2015. Authors whose papers are accepted will be notified by August 5, 2015, upon which a draft paper of 3000 words is required by November 15, 2015. *Symposium Subsidy* This symposium is fully funded by Monash University Malaysia. Subsidies for travel and accommodation are available for presenters, and will be allocated on case by case basis.

Reminder: CFP: Empowered Users, Objective Violence and the Governance of Participatory Media
by Fiona Martin 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

Reminder: Call for Papers GTFO – Empowered Users, Objective Violence and the Governance of Participatory Media SWARM 2015 Symposium on Everyday Social Media Friday 4th September 2015 University of Sydney, Australia Deadline for proposals: July 3rd Notification of acceptance: July 30th Increasing online participation is now a political, cultural and economic goal for government, health, education and creative industries. Yet the everyday violence and exclusion that plays out on social media and other participatory online forums deters many from self-expression and interaction. It casts doubt on the capacity of institutions to facilitate effective public dialogue, and raises doubts about the utility of speech codes and moderation frameworks. As part of the SWARM 2015 conference on online community management <http://swarmconference.com.au/> and Sydney Social Media Week, this one day symposium brings together academics and online media professionals working on innovative, systematic strategies to better govern social media participation, to tackle the abuse of speech rights online and support more inclusive user communities. The symposium has a critical cultural concern with exploring factors in the design, conduct, management and regulation of participatory media environments that enable unruly and anti-social behaviours. In this it investigates not only visible hate speech, but also what Žižek calls objective violence – symbolic aggression and the systemic, hidden relations of dominance and exploitation that underpin it. The symposium keynote will be Whitney Phillips, author of This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: Mapping the Relationship between Online Trolling and Mainstream Culture (MIT Press) and co-author, with Ryan M. Milner of Between Play and Hate: Antagonism, Mischief, and Humor Online (forthcoming 2017, Polity Press). We are seeking papers that raise new challenges for social media and online community governance and regulation, and propose new means of addressing them, but would welcome specific contributions that address: · Responses to cyberhate, doxxing and digilantism · The impact of pseudonymity and impersonation on self-expression · Abuse reporting · Critiques of Terms of Service, codes of conduct and online speech regulation · Computational moderation and the economics of participatory control · Verified users and other behavioural incentives · Co-creating standards for community governance · Tactical and proactive moderation · Porting or closing communities · User profiling and identity management · Platform design for self-moderating communities The symposium will be hosted by the Department of Media and Communications and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences’ Everyday Social Media research group. Papers will be considered for a themed journal edition. Abstracts of 150-200 words should be submitted to Dr Fiona Martin fiona.martin(a)sydney.edu.au<mailto:fiona.martin@sydney.edu.au> and Dr Jonathon Hutchinson Jonathon.hutchinson(a)sydney.edu.au<mailto:Jonathon.hutchinson@sydney.edu.au> by 3rd July 2015 for consideration for inclusion in the symposium.

11 Jun '15

Dear members of the AoIR list, We would like to share with you the following CFP : http://transposition.revues.org/1143 6th issue of Transposition, journal for Music studies and Social Sciences, EHESS/Philharmonie de Paris (2016) : *"Listening lines, Online Listening".* Coordination: Stéphan-Eloïse Gras and Peter Szendy We seek submissions from the following areas: - the sociology of musical tastes and their mediations in the digital era - critical theory of popular music and new media - the social history of music media and genres - the history of musical sensibilities - epistemology and/or the history of sound studies - transformations of the musical instrumentarium and the history of perception - the aesthetics of sound and digital imaging - artistic works and experiences that undermine or replay the contemporary regimes of musical experience. Proposals should be sent before October 15th 2015 to the following address : transposition.submission(a)gmail.com We look forward to your contributions. Best, Stéphan-Eloïse Gras & Peter Szendy -- Stéphan-Eloïse Gras, PhD School for Communication and Information Studies (CELSA-Paris Sorbonne), Laboratory on Contemporary Logics of Philosophy (University of Paris 8) ********************************** Transposition. Musique et sciences sociales <http://transposition.revues.org/1143#tocfrom1n1> Issue 6 (2016): Listening lines, online listening <http://transposition.revues.org/1143#tocfrom1n2> Coordination: Stéphan-Éloïse Gras et Peter Szendy Since the 1990s, listening has been the subject of growing interest, in terms of not only its social history, but the related technical media and philosophical aspects. Research such as that presented by James H. Johnson *(Listening in Paris*, 1996), Peter Szendy *(Écoute, une histoire de nos oreilles*, 2001), Jean-Luc Nancy *(À l’écoute*, 2002), Jonathan Sterne *(The Audible Past*, 2003) and more recently, Martin Kaltenecker *(L’Oreille divisée*, 2010), Michael Bull (*Sound Studies*, 2013) and Veit Erlmann *(Reason and Resonance*, 2014) has given rise to a new field, although it is certainly not a homogenous field that can simply be contained in the category of “sound studies”. Thus, there is a renewed curiosity about listening, and the recent attention it has garnered might say something about the major changes permeating our contemporary practices as musicians, musicologists, researchers, scientists, artists, music lovers and Internet users, or in other words, the practices of*listening subjects* in general. But what we would like to elicit with this sixth issue of *Transposition *is a more specific approach to these reflections. In making *listening lines* the theme of this Issue, the idea is essentially to examine a context that prompts a rethinking of listening, that is, the massive development of *online listening* in the second half of the 2000s. Long thought of as a fairly marginal behaviour by music 'pirates' and a threat to the music industry, listening on digital platforms is now the preferred means of accessing music for a rising number of listeners. Like CDs and radio in their time, has streaming become the ubiquitous and totalising contemporary form of a 'musical museum'? In any case, the stabilisation of digital listening practices and media undoubtedly raises new issues in terms of the technological, industrial, economic, political and cultural impact. Beyond the *shifting* of music to new formats, this Issue of our review seeks to explore the nature and scope of the significant changes in the ways we listen to music. What effects might have the *digital age* — the vast movement involving not only the computerisation of musical objects but the massive socialisation of digital technologies — on listening and *listening bodies*? At the crux of the matter is the prescriptive nature of the formats and operations on which platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Deezer and Rdio are based. In this sense, talking about *listening lines* also suggests that these platforms are far from mere technical systems; they are in fact creating or solidifying*guidelines* to listening, that is, (a) certain regime(s) of listening. In trying to identify their origins, we can trace the genealogy back well before the advent of digital distribution and streaming as such. Studying the salons or the art of conversation might, for example, provide insight into elements such as online automated recommendation systems ('X likes…' as an invitation to listening) and chatting. The history of formats (such as that explored by Jonathan Sterne in *Mp3. The Meaning of a Format), *the history of forms of musical presentation and distribution (evolution from concert and radio programming and discography albums to bluetooth via mobile phones in sub-Saharan Africa) and the history of audiovisual media (video clips, interactive experiences, etc.) also seem to be fertile grounds for the exploration of how these new media are affecting listening. What this Issue seeks to do is to contextualise what is happening with the massification of digital listening on platforms and mobile devices within one or more genealogical *lineages*. The question we might ask is whether online listening experiences, once placed in the broad scope of history, indicate the emergence of a new musical culture and new audiences. In the end, this long time span surely allows us to understand, examine and perhaps shift the new*partition lines* of listening, i.e., the divides and borders that appear even within the supposedly neutral and neutralising framework of 'sharing'. Making playlists, browsing vast sound databases and the simple act of 'liking' are all ways in which we are called, more than ever before, to share our listening. But in a broader sense, do they not also raise the question of *distributing* in the double sense of the French word *partage*, meaning both dividing up and pooling? In essence, these *partition lines* are dictated by the very distributions of our musical sensibilities and our listening experiences configured by contemporary digital media. Possible areas to explore for a contribution: — the social history of music media and genres ; — the history of musical sensibilities; — critical theory of popular music and new media; — the sociology of musical tastes and culture and their mediations in the digital sphere; — the sociology of audiences reached by these new musical mediations; — epistemology and/or the history of *sound studies;* — transformations of the musical instrumentarium and the history of perception; — the aesthetics of sound and digital imaging; — artistic works and experiences that undermine or replay the contemporary regimes of musical experience. Proposals for papers (in French or English), to include a presentation of the research methodology and key findings, should be sent before *October 15th 2015* to the following address: transposition.submission(a)gmail.com. The deadline for accepted papers is *January 30th 2016.*

LSE and UNICEF explore children's rights globally in the digital age
by Sonia Livingstone 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Launching website 'Researching children's rights in the digital age' View this email in your browser (http://us10.campaign-archive1.com/?u=6ed42cda03012774a98ca3add&id=4a42dabaf…) ** EU Kids Online and UNICEF meet at LSE to explore children's rights globally in the digital age ------------------------------------------------------------ Globally, digital devices are increasingly part of children’s everyday lives. Yet this use often outpaces protective legislative and regulatory frameworks, while opportunities to secure their rights may be missed. EU Kids Online (http://www.eukidsonline.net) and UNICEF Office of Research (http://www.unicef-irc.org/) are working together to explore children’s rights globally in the digital age (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Researching-Childrens-Rights-Global…) , building on an earlier scoping study (http://www.unicef-irc.org/publications/702) . Drawing upon their strong histories of developing bodies of evidence to inform policy and debate around children’s issues, EU Kids Online and UNICEF are calling for a global research effort to collect baseline data on children’s digital use and inform an effective rights framework for safeguarding children’s rights. EU Kids Online and UNICEF recently convened a meeting (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) of international experts (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) to explore whether and how children’s rights are being enhanced or undermined in the digital age. The resulting report Researching Children’s Rights Globally in the Digital Age (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) addresses key concerns for youth users in the global North and global South as well as challenges facing research across cultures and countries. The report calls for engaging youth in the development of research that affects them, along with the multiple stakeholders - governments, NGOs, researchers, educators, parents, and those developing devices and providing access to children – that make a difference in children’s digital experiences. We invite you to engage in this ongoing discussion of researching children’s rights globally in the digital age. Today, we launch a website that provides videos of expert interviews (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) and discussions (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) from our recent meeting and a growing list of relevant reports and initiatives (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) . Our participants’ page provides interviews and presentations (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) from international experts in child rights, child protection, internet and mobile technologies and governance, cross-national survey and ethnographic methods, applied and policy-relevant research, and area specialists from the global North and global South. We explore six challenges facing global research on children’s rights in the digital age: * Identifying the opportunities and barriers to children’s rights in a digital, global age * Setting the standards for rigorous and comparable methods of investigation cross-nationally * Research contexts in the global North and global South – priorities, training and impact * Multistakeholder engagement and research funding * Implementing evidence-based policy internationally: practice, politics, ethics * Producing a robust yet flexible cross-national research toolkit: learning from experience We invite you to explore these topics further in our report (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) and in the videos and presentations (http://www.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/Research-Projects/Researching-Child…) . We will provide updates periodically, and we also look forward to hearing from others about related initiatives.
