*Call for Participation for** Digitranscope Spring Institute *11-15 May 2020 in Fiesole (Florenc, Italy) extended through February 15th, 2020. *DigiTranScope <https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/communities/en/community/digitranscope>* is a research project of the JRC (Joint Research Centre), Centre for Advanced Studies <https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/research/centre-advanced-studies>, at the European Commission, focusing on the governance of digitally transformed human societies. The project aims to provide a deeper understanding of key aspects of digital transformation to help policy-makers address the challenges facing European society over the next decades. Core Topics of the Spring Institute will be: - *Data Governance:* This is a key battleground to find a European way to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Transformation. We need to find new ways of sharing data between the public sector, commercial sector, and civil society so that the value created out of data analytics and new algorithms is redistributed more equitably across all stakeholders to the benefit of European society. - *New Forms of Policy Design, Policy Learning:* This is a topic exploring how we can develop new forms of more participative policy design, monitoring, feedback/assessment, learning loops that exploit the characteristics of digital transformation including, smart cities, gaming, digital twins, and personalisation. - *Digital Empowerment and Social Inequalities:* How can we develop/design/foster a new path exploiting the benefits of digital transformation so that it is aimed at reducing existing social, economic, and spatial inequalities rather than exacerbating them? What is the role of local data ecosystems and co-operatives, and in general more geographically diversified policy measures, in tapping into the intrinsic characteristics of European regions and cities? If you are interested in participating in the *DigiTranScope Spring Institute*, please send (i) an abstract (up to 500-word) of your research relevant to the topics highlighted above, together with (ii) a short BIO/CV (up to 300-words), and (iii) a motivation letter (up to 300-words) to* massimo.craglia(a)ec.europa.eu <Massimo.Craglia(a)ec.europa.eu>* *Abstract submission deadline: **15 February 2020* *Acceptance/rejection notification: *1 March 2020 *Scientific Committee:* Dr Max Craglia, Dr Marina Micheli, Dr Igor Calzada, Jiri Hradec, Dr Gianluca Misuraca [European Commission DG Joint Research Centre (JRC), Ispra, Italy] Prof Henk Scholten [Free University of Amsterdam, Netherlands] Dr Cristina Capineri [University of Siena, Italy (local organiser)] *Format*: The Spring Institute is about critical thinking and mutual learning in a multi-disciplinary environment. It is “slow food for thought” as inspired by the slow food movement, of which practical tasting will be daily experience.

Ecologies Mobiles
by gaby david 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Chères et cherscollègues, Dans un contexte demobilisations plurielles dont l'urgence climatique, chercheur.es, artistes etassociatifs viendront présenter leurs travaux autour des problèmes humanitaires& écologique du téléphone mobile les 11&12/02 à "EcologiesMobiles". Ce colloque est gratuit et ouvert à toutes et tous, publicscurieux, étudiant.es, militant.es, scientifiques, journalistes, usager.es destechnologies. Venez nombreuses et nombreux apprendre de recherches et d'actionsmultidisciplinaires! Envoici la présentation et le programme : "Pour la huitièmeédition du colloque international du groupe de recherche « Mobile et Création »de l’IRCAV-Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle, dans un contexte environnemental sinistréet de mobilisations dans lesquelles les smartphones jouent un rôle crucial pourtémoigner visuellement et relayer l’information, nous avons pour visée demettre en avant la nature matérielle de la culture mobile. Ce sont les aspectsgéologico-techno-politiques des composants, des infrastructures et des usagesqui seront mis à jour et débattus. La dimension ambivalente de la culturemobile sera dépliée en insistant sur sa face plus sombre, à savoir les aspectsextractifs, énergivores, polluants et nocifs. Les crises humanitaires liées àl’exploitation de terres rares nécessaires à la technologie mobile (quis’effectuent principalement dans les pays émergents et en développement) serontégalement abordées. En plus de documenter les controverses et conflictualitésnombreuses que la culture mobile suscite depuis des années, en adoptant laméthodologie du « contre-faire » (Allard, 2015), le colloquecomprendra des ateliers de recyclages et ré-usages en tout genre des déchetsmobiles dans le cadre de groupes de travail associant designers, artistes etchercheur.e.s ayant oeuvré en France, en Afrique et dans le monde. En s’attachant à ladimension matérielle de la culture mobile, il s’agit d’enrichir l’approchecommunicationnelle des usages et des contenus, en s’intéressant aux aspectsgéo-physiques des terminaux qui le rendent possible. Ce colloque a pourambition de contribuer à développer une « écologie mobile » inspiréeen partie de l’« écologie de l’attention », comme le propose YvesCitton. Une « écologie mobile » qui ne se contente pas d’accabler« l’addictif » comme le discours médiatique nous y a habitué, maisqui s’attaque également au problème de l’extractif. Pour ce faire, il importede déplier les conflictualités et controverses socio-techniques qui animent laproblématisation écologique de la téléphonie mobile. Les jeux d’acteurs enprésence, dans le domaine des relations entre environnement et téléphoniemobile, font intervenir tout autant des chercheur.es en sciences du vivant etsciences humaines, des régulateurs des autorités administratives, desassociations humanitaires ou de techno-luddites, des designers et des makers.Il nous importe également de prendre en compte ces différents mondes et leursmembres afin d’élargir le champ de compréhension des enjeux du mobile sur uneplanète « endommagée » (Haraway, 2016). Le colloque a donc pourambition de mettre à jour la face quelque peu sombre de la culture mobile. Demanière à rendre compte de l’ampleur de la problématique écologique du mobile,nous souhaitons saisir ce dark mobile dans les dynamiques dela conflictualité et de la controverse, mais également les tactiques deréparation et les stratégies de régulation. Le colloque invitera desintervenants dont les approches disciplinaires ou les engagements créatifs vontapporter des éclairages situés et précis afin de contribuer, durant ces deuxjournées, à construire une compréhension globale et contrastée de laproblématique. Les modes d’intervention ainsi que les formats de session vontêtre conçus afin de favoriser les débats ouverts et collectifs sur des enjeuxenvironnementaux et humanitaires qui concernent le plus grand nombre. Comme c’est souvent lecas dans le cadre des colloques internationaux « Mobile et Création »,c’est par la voie du faire et de la créativité que nous allons égalementprocéder, et ce afin de contribuer collectivement au développement d’une« prise en main » des possibles dénouements de la criseenvironnementale vers une écologie mobile au sens propre. Ce colloque contribuera donc autournant anthropocénique des études sur le numérique en s’attachant non passeulement à la vie privée des utilisateur.es ou aux prolétaires de l’IA maisaussi aux petites mains de l’extractivisme des terres rares et les damné.s d’unsystème planétaire endommagé.

Borders, bordering and sovereignty in cyberspace [final slots, 2nd CfP RGS-IBG 2020]
by Morris,CJ (pgr) 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Dear all, please find the second CfP for our panel. Whilst we said 7th of February, we have already got a number of interesting abstracts. I would encourage anybody interested to send your abstract sooner rather than later. For PhD’s and early career researchers who may be nervous about sending in abstracts, just do it! Don’t engage in a week long editing process to make it ‘perfect’, it is probably already amazing! Borders, bordering and sovereignty in cyberspace *Call for Papers for RGS-IBG Annual Conference, London, 1-4 September 2020* Sponsored by: Digital Geography Research Group (DGRG) Session organisers: Dr Chenchen Zhang (QUB) and Carwyn Morris (London School of Economics) National borders continue to operate in the digital space despite predictions otherwise. Scholars have argued that the global communication space and the nation state are both oppositional and co-constituting forces in internet governance. Cyberborders are produced through, for instance, regulatory systems, jurisdictional assertions, censorship regimes, and discourses of cyber sovereignty and cyber security. While governments draw on concepts of sovereignty and national security to assert control over a virtual space that seems essentially borderless, civil society actors have also sought to put forward ideas of digital sovereignty along the lines of freedom and self-determination. This session aims to address theoretical and empirical questions regarding processes of (de)bordering and (de)territorialization in cyberspace. How are the concepts of sovereignty, territory, and borders reproduced and transformed in the context of the digital? What are the emerging patterns of power and contestation with regard to the control over data and information flows? We especially welcome contributions that engage with critical perspectives on the concepts of sovereignty, territory, and borders such as those focused on performance, discourse/practice, and governmentality. Papers might explore the following themes: * The production of digital territories and borders through legal, technological, and other means * Firewalls, censorship regimes, internet disruptions * The territorialization of services, infrastructure and populations * Concepts and discourses of cyber, digital, and data sovereignty * The geopolitics of data and internet control * Cyberborders and data protection law * How borders and practices of territorialization in cyberspace are contested * The impact of territorialization and bordering on populations * Conceptual and theoretical contributions * Contributions beyond methodological nationalism We encourage panellists to present in a creative method, not limited to a formal paper presentation. The session will consist of 4-5 papers, a strictly enforced 15 mins each to enable time for question and answers. Guidelines will be provided for accepted panellists. Whilst we would love to see you in London, we support Skype presentations and pre-recorded video presentations, as long as the presenter can engage in the Q&A. Please email prospective abstracts (max 250 words) or any queries to Chenchen (Chenchen.Zhang(a)qub.ac.uk) and Carwyn (c.j.morris(a)lse.ac.uk) by Friday February 7th, 2020. We look forward to seeing your abstracts! Best wishes, Chenchen and Carwyn 😊 __ Carwyn Morris PhD Candidate in Human Geography and Urban Studies Department of Geography and Environment London School of Economics Tweeting @carwyn<https://twitter.com/carwyn>
