In case no one has mentioned it, larger than movie but pretty good on communications, gentrification and dark economies: The Wire. Cell phones play a key role in the plot.

Well Played Journal Special Issue Cfp: European Videogames of the 1980s
by Clara Fernandez-Vara 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Apologies for cross-posting Well Played Journal Special Issue Cfp: European Videogames of the 1980s Edited by Clara Fernandez-Vara and Bennett Foddy. The historical discourse of videogames has been dominated by the North American narrative, which sidelines the history of other parts of the world which were not affected by the Atari Crash. The 1980s were a time when the European entertainment software industry thrived and bloomed, particularly on home computers, and demonstrated impressive levels of inventiveness within a few kilobytes of memory. Games were sold on cassette tapes through pre-existing networks of music distribution or office supplies, while piracy helped open avenues of distribution that crossed geopolitical barriers. We are requesting submissions that consist of analysis of games produced all over Europe in the 1980s, from Portugal to USSR. Analyses of popular games, such as Elite or Manic Miner, are welcome, although we are particularly interested in games produced beyond the United Kingdom. Each submission should be framed within its historical and cultural context in order to help generate an alternate historical discourse. Research on the so-called local histories is a good fit for this special issue, as long as it can focus on analyzing particular games. ETC Press is accepting submissions for this special issue of the Well Played journal. All submissions are due 1st November 2016. All submissions and questions should be sent to: well-played (at) lists (dot) andrew (dot) cmu (dot) edu For more information and formatting guidelines, visit: http://press.etc.cmu.edu/wellplayed <http://www.etc.cmu.edu/etcpress/wellplayed> http://press.etc.cmu.edu/files/WellPlayed-Guidelines.pdf <http://www.etc.cmu.edu/etcpress/files/WellPlayed-Guidelines.pdf> The Well Played Journal is a forum for in-depth close readings of video games that parse out the various meanings to be found in the experience of playing a game. It is a reviewed journal open to submissions that will be released on a regular basis. Contributors are encouraged to analyze sequences in a game in detail in order to illustrate and interpret how the various components of a game can come together to create a fulfilling playing experience unique to this medium. Through contributors, the journal will provide a variety of perspectives on the value of games. The goal of the journal is to continue developing and defining a literacy of games as well as a sense of their value as an experience. Video games are a complex medium that merits careful interpretation and insightful analysis. By inviting contributors to look closely at video games and the experience of playing them, we hope to expand the discussion, and show how games are well played in a variety of ways. The ETC Press is an academic and open-source publishing imprint that distributes its work in print, electronic and digital form. Inviting readers to contribute to and create versions of each publication, ETC Press fosters a community of collaborative authorship and dialogue across media. ETC Press represents an experiment and an evolution in publishing, bridging virtual and physical media to redefine the future of publication. http://press.etc.cmu.edu//wellplayed <http://www.etc.cmu.edu/etcpress/wellplayed> Twittter: http://twitter.com/#!/etcwellplayed <http://twitter.com/#%21/etcwellplayed> ISSN 2164-344X (Print) ISSN 2164-3458 (Online)

Call for Participation - AoIR Early Career Scholars Workshop at AoIR 2016
by Andrea Guzman 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Join us as we build a global community of early career scholars within AoIR! What: AoIR Early Career Scholars Workshop, preconference for AoIR 2016 - Berlin When: Oct. 5, morning session Organizers: Andrea L. Guzman (Northern Illinois University), Jeff Hemsley (Syracuse University), Marisa Elena Duarte (Arizona State University), Kelly Boudreau (Brunel University London), Catherine Steele (University of Maryland) Audience: This workshop is geared toward early career scholars who have their terminal degree and are working toward establishing themselves in a scholarly career. We have worked to create a workshop that is reflective of AoIR's international membership and the different types of academic and research institutions represented. Goals: 1) Provide a space for the next generation of AoIR scholars to start building strong ties with each other, more established researchers, and the AoIR community. 2) To promote understanding of the breadth of academic work, including our shared experiences and differences. 3) Connect with established academics to learn strategies for forwarding our careers. 4) Gain insight into how to formulate similar workshops in future years that support the need for mentoring early scholars in the AoIR community. Format: We will have a mix of interactive sessions involving early career scholars and established academics. To that end, we are asking participants to tell us what they want to talk about. Registration: Participants must register through the official AoIR 2016 conference (cost is included with conference registration.) We also are asking participants to email 1 to 3 questions that they would like addressed by a panel of established scholars to Andrea L. Guzman (alguzman(a)niu.edu) AND Jeff Hemsley (jjhemsle(a)syr.edu) For more information: http://aoir.org/aoir2016/preconference-workshops/#career _____ Andrea L.
