Capital, State, Empire: The New American Way of Digital Warfare Open Access book by Scott Timcke Part of the Critical, Digital and Social Media Studies series edited by Christian Fuchs University of Westminster Press Free download, affordable paperback: http://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/10.16997/book6/ The United States presents the greatest source of global geo-political violence and instability. Guided by the radical political economy tradition, this book offers an analysis of the USA’s historical impulse to weaponize communication technologies. Scott Timcke explores the foundations of this impulse and how the militarization of digital society creates structural injustices and social inequalities. He analyses how new digital communication technologies support American paramountcy and conditions for worldwide capital accumulation. Identifying selected features of contemporary American society, Capital, State, Empire undertakes a materialist critique of this digital society and of the New American Way of War. At the same time it demonstrates how the American security state represses activists—such as Black Lives Matter—who resist this emerging security leviathan. The book also critiques the digital positivism behind the algorithmic regulation used to control labour and further diminish prospects for human flourishing for the ‘99%’. Capital, State, Empire contributes to a broader understanding of the dynamics of global capitalism and political power in the early 21st century.

Call for Chapters: Security and Privacy Management, Techniques, and Protocols
by Yassine MALEH 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Introduction Information security and privacy issues have evolved at a rapid pace in the past two decades. Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of security, access techniques, protocols and standards, bandwidth usage and also the wide range of applications in all domains. Advances made as well as complexity have increased due to the introduction of different access technologies and tools, available services and models, and many other aspects of this evolution. Yet, this progress is accompanied by more vulnerabilities, higher risks, increasing threats and sophisticated attacks. Due to the ubiquitous and pervasive nature of newly developed systems, there are new concerns and issues in information security and privacy related to financial confidentiality, Privacy Litigation, Electronic health and social networks. Organizations and users need to understand the data and systems protection mechanisms thoroughly. Comprehensive knowledge of information security management, Technics and protocols are required not only for researchers and practitioners but also for policy makers, system managers, owners, and administrators. The forthcoming book on security and privacy management, techniques, and protocols will address significant issues in the field. Topics covered include Security & Network Management, Access control, Anonymity, Audit and & Authentication and authorization financial privacy, unauthorized access to networks and information, Security and privacy in electronic communications, Security Models & protocols, Security and privacy in new trends technologies (IoT, Cloud, Big Data), Hacking, cyber-terrorism, and intrusion detection, and much more.Call for Chapters Proposals Submission Deadline: August 30, 2017 Full Chapters Due: September 30, 2017 Submission Date: September 30, 2017 Chapter Proposal If you would like a potential author to review the call for chapters for your book and submit a chapter proposal for review, you may send him or her the following link: http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/2884 When an author submits a proposal, you will receive an e-mail containing a link to the proposal.

iPhone Telephone Interview Recording App
by Lois Scheidt 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Greetings, I'm looking for iPhone telephone interview recorder app recommendations. I've done some research but it looks like the best apps all require that the calls be routed through the company servers which creates an ethics issue. What tools are you using that record and allow for the export of the recording? Thanks Lois Scheidt -- Lois Ann Scheidt Indiana University, Bloomington IN USA

*Call for Participation*: The New Information State: How Information Ethics and Policy Affects Everyone, sponsored by SIG-IEP, ASIS&T Annual Meeting, Crystal City, Virginia *Date*: October 28, 2017 *Abstract*: In today’s milieu of fake news, misinformation, and generalized distrust of institutions, information ethics and policy affects everyone, across different information science research areas. In this workshop, we will analyze these changes to the informational state and discuss how we can address them through three themes: *pedagogy for information ethics and policy*, *engagement with policymakers*, and *information ethics and policy across information science*. Workshop participants are encouraged to participate in a variety of ways and will leave the workshop with tangible products that can be used in research and teaching. *Contributions*: For the workshop, we seek several different types of contributions: - Panel: A panel should incorporate two of the themes (see below, under workshop organization) and each panel is encouraged to include at least one person outside academia. Panels should be explicit about which themes are addressed and include a brief biography of each contributor. - Paper: A paper should address one of the themes (see below) in detail, tying it back to the broader discussion of the changed information state. Papers should be 3500-5000 words. - Speaker: We seek volunteers to synthesize these themes (see below) and address potential big-picture implications of these trends. Those interested in being a featured speaker should submit a c.v. and a brief essay (under 5000 words) on these themes. *The deadline for all contributions is 8/18*.
