Online Webinar - Memes: the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism - Friday 15th May, 3-7pm
by Gerbaudo, Paolo 12 May '20

12 May '20

Dear Colleagues, You are all invited to attend our online conference on Memes and the cultural logic of late capitalism. We will have two panels with speakers discussing the nexus between memes and politics. To participate you need to book your ticket via Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/online-conference-memes-the-cultural-logic-o… Best, Paolo Online Conference 'Memes: The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism?' hosted by the Centre for Digital Culture, King’s College London - Friday 15th May, 3-7pm Meme has become a by-word of contemporary digital culture. This term has been used to described simplified contents such as captioned macro pictures, short-videos, recurring phrases and all sorts of internet fads that we find on social media. With their penchant for humour and sarcasm, their remixability, irony and recursivity, memes are an interesting object of study because they seem to embody much of what is unique about digital culture vis-a-vis pre-digital cultures. Furthermore, they have become the privileged means through which all sorts of new online contents travel, from extremist propaganda, to social and political issue formation, to celebrity fandom and trolling. What does the prominence of internet memes tell us about our society at a time of profound crises of capitalism? What do some of memes’ recurring characters such as the Wojaks, Virgin vs. Chad and all sorts of variations on Spongebob and BoJack Horseman, tell us about the emerging fears and preoccupations of our society? Are memes simply a neutral medium that can fit any content, or do they carry their own bias and specificities? And if so what is the dominant cultural spirit of memes? Are they the reflection of an hyper-reflective society that cannot take itself seriously and which is caught into self-introspection and presentism? Or do they offer hope of constructive self-criticism and potentials for social and political imagination? This online conference will bring together scholars working on memes and their cultural, economic, political implications. Panel 1: Meme Magic is Real! Studying the politics of online subcultures through their memetic activity with Marc Tuters (University of Amsterdam), Daniël de Zeeuw (University of Amsterdam), Stijn Peeters (University of Amsterdam), Tom Willaert (VUB/Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Sal Hagen (University of Amsterdam) and Emillie de Keulenaar (University of Amsterdam & Utrecht University) Panel 2: Politics of memes with An Xiao Mina (Harvard University), Alessandro Lolli, Anastasia Denisova (University of Westminster) and Philip Seargean (Open University) Book your place and you will be sent an access link to attend the conference online along with the event programme including abstracts, speaker bios and panel details 2 days prior.

COVID-19 Seminar #4: Dr Monique Mann, Deakin University
by Thao Phan 12 May '20

12 May '20

*COVID-19 Seminar #4: Dr Monique Mann, Deakin University* https://moniquemann-seminar.eventbrite.com.au/ Please join us for the first seminar in the COVID-19 seminar series, co-hosted by the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship & Globalisation (ADI) <https://www.deakin.edu.au/adi> and the Science and Society Network (SSN) <https://scienceandsocietynetwork.deakin.edu.au/>. *Date/time:* Tuesday 19th May, 10am - 11:30am (Australian Eastern Standard Time, GMT+10) *Title:* COVID-Up: Trust and Transparency in Contact Tracing Applications? *Abstract:* On Sunday the 26th of April 2020, the Australian Government released a contact tracing application “COVIDSafe” to assist with the response to the global pandemic. The app was marketed as a way to speed up the processes of contacting people exposed to the coronavirus to “support and protect you.” The Australian Government is not alone in seeking such technological “solutions” to the global pandemic, and this represents but one significant surveillance development from the COVID pandemic. A series of privacy and civil liberties concerns quickly emerged, including: its intersection with Australia’s anti-encryption laws, the use of Amazon AWS and potential for extraterritorial data access via the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act, the app becoming mandatory, or the data being used for “national security” purposes. An open letter signed by circa 80 technical and academic experts called for the source code and design specifications to be released to enable greater transparency and trust, sentiments shared by academics quick to publish on the topic (see Greenleaf & Kemp, 2020). However, despite initial assurances to release the source code and design specifications of the “Covid Safe” app, this has not occurred. This talk takes these developments and expands critique on the transparency ideal which has been termed a “fallacy” (Edwards & Veale, 2017), and only meaningful if there is a critical audience to be transparent to (Kemper & Kolkman, 2019). Transparency does not constitute accountability in and of itself (Vedder & Naudts, 2017). A separate but related critique inspired by science, technology and society (STS) studies situates algorithms and applications in context (see Ananny, 2016; Crawford, 2016). Indeed, it has been argued that a focus on transparency reinforces a form of techno-determinist “fetishism” that “manifests in the pleasurable pursuit of opening the black box, discovering the code hidden inside, exploring its beauty and flaws, and explicating its intricacies” (Monahan, 2018, p. 2). In turn, this eschews understanding of algorithms and applications as embedded within institutions that have their own politics and power plays too. Related arguments have been presented by Ananny and Crawford (2018) who advance ten failings of transparency including (but not limited to) its disconnection from power and advancing neoliberal modes of agency. In connecting these developments with the critical literature on transparency, this talk advocates for a need to consider broader contexts of surveillance and to “decenter technology” (Peña Gangadharan, & Niklas, 2019) both in terms of techno-solutionist responses to the COVID pandemic, and our critique of them.

Social Networking and Communities @ HICSS (Hawaii; deadline June 15)
by Dan Suthers 11 May '20

11 May '20

------------------------------------------------- CFP: HICSS Social Networking and Communities ------------------------------------------------- 54th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) January 5-8, 2021, Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii PAPERS DUE: June 15, 2020 (see http://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/) We call for papers that investigate social networks and communities supported and/or complemented by social media and other social technologies for work, learning, socializing, or economic or political processes. Papers may address theory, design, practices, use or evaluation of social technologies. "Social networks and communities" refers broadly to social phenomena that may range from fully virtual to geographically based communities, and includes communities of inquiry, interest, or practice; epistemic communities and networked advocacy; as well as other collective phenomena emerging within networks of individuals. We solicit papers that examine relationships between social phenomena and technologies, including how social phenomena are embedded or emerge within technological settings, how communities use technologies to further their goals, or how technologies otherwise influence or are appropriated by social phenomena and entities. Individual actors as the unit of analysis may also be included provided that communities and technologies are explicitly involved in the analysis; e.g., how individuals relate to communities via technologies. We are particularly interested in papers that explore new models, theories and methods rather than re-applying and repeating established results. In order to leverage the interdisciplinary nature of HICSS and enable dialogue between social and technological disciplines, papers may be motivated by a broad range of theory-driven or data-driven perspectives and methods, including for example but not limited to social network analysis, content analysis, ethnographic investigations, and agent-based simulations. We particularly encourage papers that: • advance our understanding of social network growth, formation, structure and outcomes through social media; • explore how socio-technical affordances relate to social media use and outcomes; • interrogate entanglements of technology and culture in community settings; • examine how information and misinformation spread in social media and networks, and how algorithms, bots, and social media design affect this spread; • evaluate design of social media technologies and practices for effective community development and maintenance; and • develop theories, models and principles of social media design, use and outcomes. Papers that examine how social networking and media are used to take collective action on Covid-19 concerns or mitigate the impact of "social distancing" will be of particular interest this year. ABOUT HICSS The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, in its 54th year, is one of the longstanding scientific conferences and is highly ranked among information systems conferences. Diverse disciplines unified by a focus on information technologies are woven together in a matrix structure of tracks and themes. By attending HICSS you are not only reaching the audience of your track and mini-track; you also have the opportunity to learn about what is happening in related fields and meet leaders in those fields. Other mini-tracks within the Digital and Social Media track are particularly relevant: see https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/digital-and-social-media/#social-network… and related pages for this and other minitracks. Conference organizers are developing contingency plans related to Covid-19, to be announced.

Oxford Programme in Comparative Media Law & Policy Online Webinar this Thursday
by Kira Allmann 11 May '20

11 May '20

Hi all, Hope you're staying safe and well! Just sharing that PCMLP (at the University of Oxford) will be hosting an online Global Seminar Series talk this Thursday (May 14th) with Antonina Cherevko (Adviser, International Media Support) at 14:00 (UK time). *The talk abstract and info for joining the Zoom webinar are below.* More info about the talk, including recommended readings are available on the* PCMLP website <https://pcmlp.socleg.ox.ac.uk/event/freedom-of-expression-the-weaponization…>*. We look forward to ‘seeing you’ (virtually) there! Best wishes, Kira Allmann (Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Media Law & Policy <https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/people/kira-allmann>, Centre for Socio-Legal Studies) *ABOUT THE TALK* *Presentation by Antonina Cherevko, Adviser, International Media Support (mediasupport.org <http://mediasupport.org>): Weaponization of information and attacks on “information sovereignty” – would freedom of expression standards suffice to tame the “information wars”? * A liberal stance, traditionally supported by the intergovernmental and non-governmental actors and confirmed by the international courts,[1] suggests that insulting, offensive and shocking speech should also be protected, especially as in line with the theory of the ‘free marketplace of ideas’, we are accustomed to believe that truth and reason are destined to win over harmful and/or false speech. This is, however, not exactly what has been happening at least since the end of 2013, when both traditional media, online outlets and social media networks started to be actively used for the purposeful, well-organized and coordinated disinformation campaigns. For instance, the massive research of Twitter posts proves that disinformation largely outplays true messages,[2] which makes it an easy and attractive method for pursuing various political purposes via dissemination of ‘weaponised’ narratives. The term ‘weaponization of information’ was coined to define the use of information (and free speech rights) as a weapon in the framework of Russia’s aggressive foreign policy:[3] first, as a response to the EuroMaidan protests in Ukraine in late 2013, then in the course of the illegal annexation of Crimea and subsequent conflict in the east of Ukraine, and finally as a means of meddling in Brexit, the US presidential elections of 2016 as well as various elections and political processes in Europe (French and German elections, Catalonia unrest etc.). While the term originated in the European region and is currently closely associated with Russia’s state backed media and foreign policy, it has been gaining global popularity during the past several years, and can be easily replicated by other authoritarian regimes with international ambitions (like, for example, Iran and its recent disinformation campaigns)[4] because it allows for a great deal of asymmetrical influence and is heavily enhanced by the mere nature of modern instant communications. There has been little attempt to explore the phenomenon of weaponization of information in the context of human rights and the concepts of freedom of expression, legitimate limitations of it, and abuse of rights. Whether the existent international legal framework is able to protect the very essence of freedom of expression from abuse by ill-intentioned actors in times when ‘theories of speech and society are under intense examination’[5] is not merely a theoretical question, it may well become the question of further preservation and survival of the value-based system that we currently rely upon.

Twitter allows us to target ads to a list of users if we have their twitter handles. We promote a tweet containing a link to a survey in the ad. On the practical side, unfortunately we haven't had great success in getting the ads to run, but that might be me not being able to set it up right. If anyone has thought of this, and/or has tried it, I'd be happy to hear from them.

Call for Proposals: iLRN 2020 Guided Virtual Adventures
by Lee, Mark 10 May '20

10 May '20

[Apologies - Re-posting with the link to the form added] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PROPOSALS: GUIDED VIRTUAL ADVENTURE TOURS at iLRN 2020: 6th International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network Organized in conjunction with Educators in VR Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Education Society June 21-25, 2020, Online Conference theme: "Vision 20/20: Hindsight, Insight, and Foresight in XR and Immersive Learning" Conference website: http://immersivelrn.org/ilrn2020 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At our physical iLRN conferences, the first day of the conference (Sunday) is typically devoted to one or more guided social tours of local attractions in which attendees have the opportunity to socialize and get to know one another while immersing themselves in the sights and sounds of the host city and/or region. As this year's conference will take place entirely online, we are instead offering the opportunity for attendees to sign up for small-group "Guided Virtual Adventure" tours of 50 minutes in duration to various social and collaborative XR/immersive environments and platforms. Proposals are being sought for prospective Guided Virtual Adventure tour offerings on Sunday, June 21, 2020. Tour destinations may be: - a third-party XR/immersive platform with which you are familiar (e.g., Altspace, Mozilla Hubs, Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Somnium Space, OrbusVR, Second Life); - a specific virtual environment that you, your institution/organization, or someone else has developed within a third-party platform; - a platform that you or your institution/organization has developed and/or specific environments within that platform. There are no fees involved in offering a Guided Virtual Adventure tour; however, preference will be given to proposals that involve environments/platforms that are freely and openly accessible, and that are associated with nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. Where possible, it is strongly recommended that multiple offerings of the tour are made available throughout the day so as to cater for different time zones in which the 8,000+ iLRN 2020 event attendees will be based. Companies wishing to offer Guided Virtual Adventure tours involving their commercial products and services may submit proposals for consideration, but the iLRN 2020 Organizing Committee reserves the right to, at its discretion, place limits on the number of tours of platforms/environments of a certain type or that address a particular target audience/application vertical.
