Free registration now open Different Bodies: (Self-)Representation, Disability and the Media
by Jacob Johanssen 15 May '17

15 May '17

Dear colleagues, those of you who may be in London this June might be interested in the following conference. *Different Bodies: (Self-)Representation, Disability and the Media* *Friday, June 23, 2017, University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, London* Register for free: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/different-bodies-self-representation-disabilit… <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fdiffere…> Programme available here: https://sites.google.com/view/mediadisfigurement/conference This one-day conference seeks to explore representations of the body as strange, shameful, wrong, impaired, wounded, scarred, disabled, lacking, different or ‘other’ in contemporary media. The advent of digital media has underlined the importance of visual culture and our curiosity in representations of the body to form opinions about ourselves and others. Media portrayals of bodies can affect our lives because media are one of the primary agents of socialization. Bodies we see in newspapers, on television and in our social media feeds are often made to appear perfect in order to conform to racialized and heteronormative ideals of what it means to be beautiful and normal in contemporary capitalist societies. This conference seeks to contribute to current debates in theoretical fields such as feminism, queer theory, disability studies, critical theory and postcolonial studies over presentations of the body that are white, young, slim and productive. *Keynote*: Professor Lisa Blackman (Goldsmiths) The conference will also feature a special panel by *Changing Faces* This conference is part of the research project ‘Facial Disfigurement in the UK Media: From Print to Online’, led by Dr Diana Garrisi (University of Westminster) and Dr Jacob Johanssen (University of Westminster). Conference attendance is free. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Please let the organisers know if you have any access or dietary requirements.

Deadline for CFP this week. Digital Culture meets Data: Critical approaches
by Ryan Burns 15 May '17

15 May '17

Call for Papers Digital Culture meets Data: Critical approaches ECREA Digital Culture and Communication Section Conference. 6th -7th November 2017, University of Brighton, UK Abstract deadline: 20 May 2017 Keynote speakers: · Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University, Republic of Ireland · Helen Thornham, University of Leeds, UK Conference theme: Algorithms and big data are today shaping our sociocultural and technical relations and our everyday experiences. Digital culture and communication are inevitably changing as media infrastructures, media practices and social environments become increasingly 'datafied'. We may think of surveillance, algorithmic profiling and self-tracking for example. Wearable technologies such as fitness trackers allow people to understand the body as a data-producing object. Our use of commonplace media technologies is mediated by data in ways that we do not ask for, nor even necessarily know about or consent to. Data interpellate us. Yet data are obscure and enigmatic. But what does this turn to data mean for our research, scholarship and pedagogic practice? Has the data paradigm arrived as an unquestionable unifying concept for studies of digital culture and digital media, communication, technology? It may be that a shift of focus on algorithms and data is fundamentally disruptive to the ways in which we see our research and disciplines. It may even appear to limit the theoretical and methodological tools through which we increasingly try to understand mediation, the formation of identity, social life, politics and the creative industries. To others, the 'datalogical turn' may be plainly repeating the processes of earlier instances of technological innovation. And for some, it may provide an opportunity to frame new theoretical concepts and methodological tools for a whole new set of social, cultural and political phenomena. The ECREA DCC Conference "Digital Culture meets data: Critical approaches" asks the question: what theoretical and empirical perspectives on data and the digital can be used to augment and diversify our research and educational approaches? And how might we challenge data paradigms or aim to show alternative or complementary ways to address digital culture and communication? We invite empirical and theoretical research papers and panels that address themes such as: - Media studies and datafication - Researching media and culture using data methods - Data visualisation, art and design - Data and the role of the imaginary, fantasy and myth - Data cultures and neoliberalism - Data activism and citizen engagement - Data and critical literacy - Data and gender, race, class inequalities - Datafication and the creative industries - Feminist approaches to data - Machine learning and AI - Mobile and locative media - Quantified self and data cultures - Smart cities, data and sustainability - Social bots and the management of sociality The Conference will also host a YECREA Workshop entitled: 'The ambitious early-career scholar in an age of precarity: questions, challenges, opportunities' (Chaired by Ysabel Gerrard, University of Leeds). This workshop will facilitate open discussion between academics at various stages in their careers about some of the issues confronting ambitious early-career scholars in an increasingly competitive international job market. Submission details, individual papers: Please submit abstracts of 250-350 words, written in English. Abstracts should contain a clear outline of the argument, the theoretical framework, methodology and results (if applicable), and how this links to the theme and topics of this conference, or to the general concerns of digital culture and communication. Please include 3-5 keywords that describe your work, and a Bio note (max 100 words, stating affiliation). Submission details, panels: We welcome panel submissions, numbering 4 speakers. Please submit abstracts of 250-350 words per paper, plus a 250-350 word rationale for the panel. Individual abstracts should contain a clear outline of the argument, the theoretical framework, methodology and results (if applicable), and how this links to the theme and topics of this conference, or to the general concerns of digital culture and communication.

Re: [Air-L] Setting Up a Honeypot
by Maurice Vergeer 13 May '17

I don't think that's a good idea. I just checked a gmail account I set up over a year ago, without using it. And no spam turned up. Google has one of the best spam detection software there is. Most of it will not even reach your spam folder. On a daily basis, my regular gmail account only shows 4 to 5 spam emails. The best think might be to setup a emailserver without a spam filter. Then make sure to publish your email on a webpage and maybe in some discussion groups and wait. Another more sophisticated option seems to do the job you want: https://github.com/shiva-spamphttps://github.com/shiva-spampot/shiva I have no experience with the software but you might want to setup a VM and try it out. hope that helps.

New Book: Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture in the United States By Adam Fish Palgrave MacMillan This new book examines whether television can be used as a tool not just for capitalism, but for democracy. Throughout television’s history, activists have attempted to access it for that very reason. New technologies—cable, satellite, and the internet—provided brief openings for amateur and activist engagement with television. This book elaborates on this history by using ethnographic data to build a new iteration of liberalism, technoliberalism, which sees Silicon Valley technology and the free market of Hollywood end the need for a politics of participation. Three-part interview with Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism and Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, about Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture.

It is an essential and creative clarification of the tangle of contemporary technologies, political theories of freedom and equality, and the desires involved in making and consuming media.” (Christopher Kelty, University of California, Los Angeles, USA) Publisher’s site: http://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783319312552#reviews Adam Fish is cultural anthropologist, video producer, and senior lecturer in the Sociology Department at Lancaster University.

Using theories from political economy and new materialism, he examines digital industries and digital activists. http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/sociology/about-us/people/adam-fish
