CFP Global Media and China_Special Issue: Data on demand: Ranking the nation, predicting the future
by Xiao Han 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Dear Colleagues: Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Global Media and China (A Sage journal) Theme: “Data on demand: Ranking the nation, predicting the future” Guest Editors: Michael Keane (Curtin University, Australia) Gary Rawnsley (soon to return to University of Nottingham Ningbo China ) Target issue: June Issue, 2019 Deadlines: Submission of Extended Abstracts: September 30, 2018 (500 words) Notification of Abstracts Acceptance: 20 November, 2018 Submission of Full Papers: February 28 2019 OVERVIEW Many organisations, including governments, are now investing considerable resources into trying to measure both quantitatively and qualitatively the success and impact of their activities. This has given rise to a whole new industry that conducts longitudinal studies and feeds a new interest in global rankings. Governments are using their country’s position in these rankings as an indication of attraction, and a rise in global rankings is good news unless this represents a negative indicator, such as pollution or press freedom. Today one of the most pervasive indicators of national reputation is soft power, with organisations such as Portland developing rankings for institutions such as the Annenberg School of Communication, the British Council and the government of Wales; while Monocle magazine publishes its own soft power rankings at the end of each year. Other rankings measure a range of issues, including social progress, innovation, happiness, food security, Internet access and connection speeds, and pop culture exports. In addition, regions and cities are also analysed in an effort to understand the growing influence of sub-national actors. Rankings compare cities according to their liveability, global connectivity, friendliness, cultural diversity and creativity. A further development is the use of metrics to rank people within prescribed social demographics. The methodology behind such metrics has attracted less attention than the rankings themselves, though understanding this is crucial for our interpretation of the data. For instance some have argued that China’s soft power and social progress rankings would be far higher if they were measured according to values endorsed by the Chinese government rather than by the more liberal norms of OECD institutions. Moreover, measurement itself reveals little about the emotional response of audiences to cultural products or their engagement with political institutions. Clearly, we need to pay more attention to qualitative rather than quantitative research if we wish to know how and why audiences engage with a particular country or government. This special issue examines critically the current fascination with indexing, mapping, ranking and metrics as they apply to nations, regions, municipalities, publications and even citizens. Papers might address the topic of indexing from a range of disciplinary perspectives including media industry metrics, cultural policy studies, soft power and public/cultural diplomacy, international communications, and audience research. The editors are interested in scholarly papers that address any of the following topics: The value of surveys and rankings in international relations and communications The global business of producing comparative metrics Use of such metrics in international and national media reports Use of such metrics in evaluating academic reputations and institutions Policy implications of metric driven comparisons The methodology and management of indexing, mapping and ranking The use and abuse of big data, and the transparency of data Cultural trade data collections and cultural statistics The reliability and functionality of user recommendation sites and search engine rankings The use of algorithms and social credit scores to manage individuals within populations SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND REVIEW PROCESS: The deadline for submitting abstracts is September 30, 2018. Abstracts should be 500 words in length, detailing the purpose, methods, and main points of research. The abstracts should be submitted to Professor Michael Keane by email at m.keane(a)curtin.edu.au <mailto:m.keane@curtin.edu.au>. Following peer-review, a selection of authors will be invited to submit a full paper in accordance with the journal’s ‘Instructions for authors.’ Please note acceptance of the abstract does not guarantee publication, given that all papers will be put through the journal’s peer review process. Please refer to the full submission guidelines available at: https://uk.sagepub.com/en- <https://uk.sagepub.com/en-> gb/asi/global-media-and-china/journal202494#submission-guidelines Dr HAN Xiao Research Assistant, Social Media Centre, Communication University of China (CUC) Commissioning Editor, Global Media and China http://journals.sagepub.com/home/gch <http://gch.sagepub.com/>

Friendly reminder: CFP Understanding the Social in a Digital Age
by Zoetanya Sujon 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Just a friendly reminder that abstracts of no more than 300 words plus a short bio (no more than 100 words) are *due in two weeks on August 28th, 2019*. Please send abstracts to UnderstandingTheSocial(a)gmail.com. Apologies for cross-posting CFP: 'Understanding the Social in a Digital Age: An Interdisciplinary Conference in Media, Technology, and the Social'. The pervasiveness of social media has led to both the rise and erasure of ‘the social’. The social is increasingly evasive, at once found everywhere and nowhere. Social media are widely lauded for connecting people and enabling richer, more dynamic socialities yet many critique these processes as emptying out social connection in favour of data accumulation, self-promotion, and platform capitalism. Similarly, these new ways of experiencing, augmenting, and understanding the social are rife with their own socio-cultural and socio-economic biases, born out through designers and users, meaning not every user experiences these spaces and relates to these technologies in the same manner. It becomes apparent that ‘the social’ presumes a singular experience, when realities are far more diverse. Current research on social media draws in an interdisciplinary manner from a wide range of thinking on what the social means, and is increasingly challenging extant theories and conceptions of the social. This poses a number of questions for how we consider, define, and explore the social, and crucially what our responsibilities are as researchers and educators. This also poses a number of opportunities to work across disciplinary boundaries to explore and reframe our understandings of media, technology, and the social. *Keynotes will be given by Professor Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Professor Gina Neff, Oxford Internet Institute.* This event aims to critically examine not only the meanings of the social in contemporary digital practices across cultures, but also challenges underlying epistemologies of the social in research and popular cultures. Papers may approach the topic from theoretical, conceptual, and/or empirical positions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Challenges of and negotiations around agency and structure - The relationship between technology, self, and society - Educational challenges and responsibilities in the digital age - Changing socialities in the face of platform capitalism, the sharing economy, the gig economy, the rise of mediation, & networked selves - The embedding and disembedding of socio-cultural resources online - Resistance and transgression on, in, with, and through technology - The role of designers, users, researchers and the public in the framing, conceptualisation, and representation of ‘the social’ online - Extant and emerging social structures in the digital age - Boundaries between online and offline social practices - Affordances and mediation of social practices - Alternative media and sub-altern communities - Technological mediation of public / private - Digital citizenships and the politics of belonging - Emerging technologies and digital futures This list is merely suggestive of the range of topics of interest to the organisers and is not in any way restrictive of possible interpretations of the theme. We encourage contributors to be imaginative in formulating ideas and paper proposals. Abstracts of no more than 300 words and a short bio of 100 words should be submitted via email by 28th August 2018. You will receive notification of the outcome of your submission by September 30. Submissions from early career researchers are highly encouraged. Final papers should be no longer than 8,000 words / 20 minutes. All those who submit final papers by January 7th will also be invited to submit to a special edition of an international peer-reviewed journal. *The event is free to attend and present, and will be hosted at the School of Education and Lifelong Learning and the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, on the 8th January 2019.* Key dates: Abstract submission: August 28th 2018 Notification of outcomes: September 30th 2018 Draft papers due: January 7th 2019 Conference: January 8th 2019, at UEA Organisers: Dr Zoetanya Sujon (University of Arts London) Dr Harry Dyer (University of East Anglia) Enquiries and abstract submission: UnderstandingTheSocial(a)gmail.com Full details here: https://sujonz.wordpress.com/2018/07/09/understanding-the-social-in-a-digit… Please follow us on Twitter: @SocialDigitalA2 #UnderstandingTheSocial -- 'You are marvellous.
