CFP: Autobiography 2.0
by May Friedman 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

CALL FOR PAPERS Autobiography 2.0: Family, Relationality and Online Life Writing An edited collection by May Friedman (Ryerson University) and Silvia Schultermandl (University of Graz) We are looking for original chapters which discuss representations of family and kinship in online media such as Twitter, PostSecret, Facebook, Storify and Instagram and the ways in which these digital autobiographies innovate our understandings of life writing genres. Our collection seeks to bring together research on the self-in-relation from both a narratological angle and from the perspective of gender studies, queer theory, postcolonial and transnational studies. We are interested in discussing new and shifting understandings of how we define life writing practices differently in an age of online expressions in various verbal and visual forms, and through the lens of family, broadly defined. Building on our two prior collections, chapters should explore a transnational sensibility (Friedman and Schultermandl, 2011) which honors the ambiguity of borders, families, and identities and views “a lack of fixity as simultaneously inevitable and rich in possibility.” These ideas can be applied to negotiations of identity, relationality and kinship though quick media usage (Friedman und Schultermandl, 2016). Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to discussions which pursue the following questions: - How is relationality mediated differently in an online context and how does this impact our ideas about family and kinship? - What issues of privacy and property are connected to the online presence of digital memoirs? - Which different reading practices do we need to bring to the multi-layered online text of autobiographies 2.0? - How does reading online autobiographies create kinship ties among readers? - How are traditional modalities of identity (race, gender, ability, class, etc.) destabilized by online life writing? We invite 500-word chapter abstracts of critical scholarly, creative, and autoethnographic essays. Deadline is June 1, 2016. Please send inquires and /or abstracts to May Friedman (may.friedman(a)ryerson.ca) <mailto:> AND Silvia Schultermandl (silvia.schultermandl(a)uni-graz.at <mailto:silvia.schultermandl@uni-graz.at>).

"Avoiding Adverse Consequences from Digital Addiction and Retaliatory Feedback" offered for open access for the month of March
by Ashu M. G. Solo 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

>From http://www.igi-global.com/newsroom/archive/internet-addiction-chinese-epide… "Avoiding Adverse Consequences from Digital Addiction and Retaliatory Feedback" offered for open access for the month of March Internet Addiction: A Chinese Epidemic By IGI Global on Mar 4, 2016 Internet addiction is a prevalent topic today, as the endless landscape of virtual content is multiplying at an incredible rate. Though some specialists don’t consider this a real threat in today’s digitized society, others are looking for ways to combat this dependence. According to <http://www.medicaldaily.com/pulse/internet-addiction-electric-heroin-having…> Medical Daily, in China this perceived epidemic has become such an issue that parents have turned to serious therapies such as Internet addiction boot camps, prohibiting Internet use and enforcing strict rules including diet and exercise routines. IGI Global author and editor <http://www.igi-global.com/affiliate/jonathan-bishop/284983/> Jonathan Bishop has done extensive research on the subject of Internet addiction, and in his work has developed measurement scales and other means to identify and treat Internet addiction. In the chapter “ <http://www.igi-global.com/book/psychological-social-implications-surroundin…> Avoiding Adverse Consequences from Digital Addiction and Retaliatory Feedback,” he and co-author <http://www.igi-global.com/affiliate/ashu-mg-solo/136854/> Ashu M. G. Solo look at the role of the participation continuum in helping to improve relationships that have been damaged as a result of digital addiction. Digital addiction in this context refers to what happens when a person with a compulsion who is not getting that compulsion fulfilled turns to the Internet and other digital technologies in order to fill the void. A chapter in Jonathan Bishop’s academic reference book <http://www.igi-global.com/book/psychological-social-implications-surroundin…> Psychological and Social Implications Surrounding Internet and Gaming Addiction, this research is currently being offered for open access for the month of March. Psychological and Social Implications Surrounding Internet and Gaming Addiction focuses on the dark side of technology and the ways in which individuals are falling victim to compulsive internet use as well as gaming and gambling addictions. Highlighting socio-cultural, psycho-social, and techno-cultural perspectives on problematic technology use, this critical publication is essential to the research and practical needs of therapists, public administrators, psychologists, students, and researchers interested in compulsive disorders, human behavior, dependency, and other key mental health issues. <http://www.igi-global.com/free-content/134503> Access the chapter “Avoiding Adverse Consequences from Digital Addiction and Retaliatory Feedback: The Role of the Participation Continuum” here.

CfP Digital Images, Global Conflicts – Special issue of Media, Culture & Society
by Christina Neumayer 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Call for Proposals: Digital Images, Global Conflicts Special issue of Media, Culture & Society, October 2017. Guest editors: Bolette Blaagaard, Mette Mortensen, & Christina Neumayer The role of images in conflicts (war, terror, riot, civic action, etc.) has changed dramatically over the past decade due to globalization and digitalization. The rapid and extensive dissemination of images from conflicts results in an intensified struggle for gaining public visibility and shaping public opinion, prompting competing narratives and counter narratives, suppression, spin, and persistent allegations of falsification and manipulation. Different actors produce, circulate, and mobilize images across media platforms and across national and regional borders. Mobile media have enabled citizens, activists, whistleblowers, and insurgents to take and disseminate images to document their experiences, sway public opinion, contest the legitimacy of authorities, secure legal evidence, and appeal for humanitarian relief. The news media still play an important role in the display and dissemination of images of conflict, but they compete with, utilize, and converge with social- and mobile media. The military, which formerly controlled the flow of images from conflicts, has in recent years developed strategies for coping with the user-generated image flow. For example, photographic images travelling through the digital media ecology have recently marked a turning point in the debate surrounding the migration crisis due to refugees from the war in Syria. Videos and still images taken by people on the streets were routinely shown in international news coverage of uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. Eyewitness videos of police violence in the USA have been instrumental in attracting public attention and mobilizing civic action. Selfies taken at sites of war or terror and memes ridiculing antagonists show the intersection of popular internet culture and conflict. Images of the arrest of University students and beating up of journalists in India have produced international solidarity with the leftist and liberals' struggle against a right-leaning nationalist government. At this decisive moment for the role performed by images of and in conflict, traditional approaches to studying conflict and images in terms of propaganda, censorship, and news frames no longer suffice. This special issue is devoted to developing empirical insights, theoretical frameworks, and analytical concepts for understanding the circulation and meaning-making of images from global conflicts in today’s connective media culture. We encourage contributions addressing such subjects as: * The transformed public visibility of conflicts and (possible) challenges and changes to traditional power balances in a globalized world. * The role played by images in (online) strategic communication, such as propaganda, campaigns, and recruitment by various groups and institutions involved in conflicts. * New genres for representing global, regional, and local conflicts proliferating on social media, such as selfies, memes, and their reconfigurations of traditional genres. * The role of visual icons in the age of mass production and global dissemination of images. * Convergence and competition between professional and non-professional approaches to documenting conflicts. * The transforming gatekeeping role of the mainstream mass media concerning conflict coverage. * New theories for understanding the changed role of visual representation of conflicts in the digitalized mediascape. * Analytical approaches to mobile media and networked dissemination of images of conflict. * Empirical investigations of local reactions and emotions sparked by images in the global media circuit Please submit proposals for articles of approximately 500 words to the editors of the special issue blaagaard(a)hum.aau.dk<mailto:blaagaard@hum.aau.dk>, metmort(a)hum.ku.dk<mailto:metmort@hum.ku.dk>, and chne(a)itu.dk<mailto:chne@itu.dk> no later than 1 May 2016. A selection of authors will be invited to submit a full paper of max 8000 words. Please note that acceptance of abstract does not guarantee publication, given that all papers will undergo peer review. For questions, please contact the editors of this special issue. Timeline Deadline for abstracts: 1 May 2016 Notification to authors: 10 June 2016 Deadline for submission of full papers: 1 November 2016 More information about the journal: http://mcs.sagepub.com
