Re: [Air-L] IAMCR Pre-conference, 26-27 July 2016 at LSE: Children's and Young People's Rights in the Digital Age
by Livingstone,S 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Apologies for cross-posting Children's and Young People's Rights in the Digital Age Registration is now open for our conference in July on children’s and young people’s rights in the digital age at LSE, a central London-based IAMCR pre-conference. Please register here: http://eshop.lse.ac.uk/browse/product.asp?compid=1&modid=1&catid=327 (Early bird fees run until 20 May). See http://iamcr.org/leicester2016/preconf/youth-digital-rights for the outline programme. The draft full programme will be available in early May. We see a growing momentum for recognition of the potential of online and networked media for promoting children’s rights. Yet, researchers, child rights’ advocates and internet governance experts are concerned that children’s rights are being newly infringed rather than enhanced in the digital age. This raises questions for research, policy and practice: * How is the digital environment impacting on children’s rights today? * What are the challenges to children’s rights presented by the digital? * How might we seize the opportunities for children’s online participation to promote children’s rights globally? We hope you will register and come to join a lively discussion. Note that the conference is co-hosted by Global Kids Online: www.globalkidsonline.net<http://www.globalkidsonline.net/>. It will finish in time for those who wish to get to Leicester for the opening of the IAMCR conference. All the very best, Sonia Livingstone, Amanda Third and Mariya Stoilova

Historicizing the Digital, University of Leicester
by Caroline.Tagg 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

With apologies for cross-postings, the deadline for abstract submissions to Historicising the Digital has been extended until 30th April. Historicizing the Digital: language practices in new and old media Mon 27th - Tues 28th June 2016 University of Leicester, UK CALL FOR PAPERS: *new deadline 30th April 2016* REGISTRATION: opening soon Language and new media is a rapidly emerging area of applied linguistics which considers how the affordances of digital technologies promote new linguistic strategies for identity work by individuals and communities (Seargeant and Tagg 2013). Research suggests that language use in digital spaces is highly innovative (in forms, functions, ideologies and cultural norms), and especially so for written language, such as online spelling variation, code-switching, multimodality, and sharing (Georgakoupoulou and Spilioti 2015). Our seminar, 'Historicizing the Digital', provides a space in which researchers are encouraged to re-evaluate assumptions and claims of digital communication research. The event explores the extent to which digital practices really are "new". What precedents might be found in earlier periods? What practices show continuity between the pre- and post-digital age? What practices constitute genuine innovation within digital spaces? The event invites speakers working within different historical periods who may not otherwise join in conversation to promote fresh discussions from a trans-historical perspective. Proposals should be submitted to the Conference Organisers (histthedig(a)gmail.com) as a Word document, containing the following information: * Title of proposal in bold * Name of presenter * Name and address of institution, telephone and email * Abstract text max. 300 words * 12pt, left-aligned, single-spaced Please visit our website for more details: www.histthedig.blogspot.co.uk<https://mail.bham.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?REF=wO1TlPlwFPYBiM2oGJSHYAFzFUT4XtFo…>

Out now! - "Religion in Digital Games RESPAWNED" - Issue 10 (2016) of "online - Heidelberg Journal of Religions on the Internet"
by Simone Heidbrink 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Dear all, The new special issue 10 (2016) of "online - Heidelberg Journal of Religions on the Internet" (edited by Simone Heidbrink and Tobias Knoll) is - once more - dedicated to "Religion in Digital Games RESPAWNED" <http://heiup.uni-heidelberg.de/journals/index.php/religions/issue/view/2354>. As the "gamers" among our readers will be very well aware of, "respawn" is a constant occurence in most videogames. However, while in-game it usually is rather annoying (especially when mobs respawn while the player is still out cold) this issue is the - very positive - result of some kind of "respawn", namely the submission of many great papers by highly innovative authors doing research in the field of digital games and gaming. Enjoy! If you would like to submit a paper for a future issue of Online – Heidelberg Journal of Religions on the Internet, feel free to send an abstract or full article to online.religion(a)zegk.uni-heidelberg.de. We will gladly consider the publication of further articles related to religion and video games as well as any other topic fitting the scope of the journal. For further information please see: http://heiup.uni-heidelberg.de/journals/index.php/religions/index. If you want to be kept up to date on things like new releases and call for papers, you can follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/onlinehjri/) or subscribe to our Newsletter by sending an e-mail (no subject) to the following address: listserv(a)listserv.uni-heidelberg.de. The text must be as follows (case sensitive): SUBSCRIBE irw-online-journal [first name] [last name] Please replace the content in the square brackets with your personal data. In the meantime, enjoy our new issue!

digital subject symposium 12 May London
by Olga Goriunova 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Dear all, I am organising the event below. Places are limited, so please make sure you email me to book a place if you'd like to attend. best, olga Senior Lecturer Media Arts Royal Holloway University of London *Digital Subjects* *12 May 2016, Senate House, London* *Organiser:* Olga Goriunova, Royal Holloway University of London Digital subjects can be many things: a nested set of abstractions assembled by algorithms; a dynamic data aggregate feeding upon the movement of bodies in space and time; an experiential, sensuous presence and performance online. Digital subjects are the subjects of profiles, video channels, search query histories, inboxes, logs of GPS coordinates, traded data of financial transactions or travel card usage. The reason why it's worth calling them subjects are the new ontological and epistemological demands placed by the rapid development of computational infrastructures and our cyborgian lives. The question of the digital subject is a political question wielded by the disciplinary lines of differentiation. These lines are cut in the thick distance that joins together human, posthuman, nonhuman and the digital (Goriunova). Some humanities regard digital subjects from the point of view of the operation of representational data surveillance (data gathered forms a shadow of the human (Raley)) and a political/legal question (Rouvroy); some data sciences ignore the distance and claim that data gives direct access to, in this case, humans (people are equal to their tweets). Many contemporary art practices, especially feminist performances online, explore the distance as a thick field of production that is not fully determined (Scourti). The aim of the event is to rethink the subject and think the digital subject from the point of view of different genealogies, reasons, expressions and logics. What we aim to work towards is not a return to any previous form of unity, but a way to construct an understanding of computational kinds of subjects and their ways of generation, production, and sustenance. *This is a Royal Holloway’s Humanities and Arts Research Centre event in cooperation with the Department of Media Arts* +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *PROGRAMME* *12 May, **Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU* *ROOM BSQ-SH264* 9.30 Registration 9.45 Introduction Chair: *Silvia Mollicchi* 10.00 – 10.50 *Lisa Blackman,* Data are Us?
