ICA 2023 Preconference on the Legacies of Elihu Katz
by Park, David 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

CFP: ICA Preconference on the Legacies of Elihu Katz Preconference date & location: 25 May 2023, as part of the International Communication ‘Association annual conference at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel Submission deadline: 20 December 2022. (there is no registration fee for this preconference) Elihu Katz (1926–2021) was a peerless scholar, colleague, mentor, administrator, and friend to many in the field of communication. His passing has left the field with an absence that calls out for remembrance and for scholarly consideration. This one-day, all-plenary preconference will create a space for scholarly exchange on Katz’s life, works, and themes—a forum, in other words, for active, critical engagement with his legacy for the field. The preconference invites presenters to explore, critique, and extend Katz’s contributions to communication scholarship. Some will situate Katz’s legacies in pertinent historical contexts; others will use his work to imagine media futures; still others will consider Katz’s many roles (teacher, institution-builder, broadcast pioneer, mentor). Some lines of inquiry presenters may wish to explore include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * considerations of journalism and the public that draw upon Katz’s configurations of Gabriel Tarde’s ideas * explorations of the promise and limitations of the idea of the media ritual * elaborations upon the idea of the two-step flow of media effects * diffusion processes in varied media and networks * the evolution and contemporary significance of the concept of media events * perspectives on Katz’s ideas that come from disparate subfields in communication, including but not limited to: interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and intercultural communication * philosophical interrogations of Katz’s ideas and research empirical studies that draw explicitly on Katz’s ideas, for instance cross-cultural readings of American television inspired by the Export of Meaning* (his co-authored book with Tamar-Liebes) * Shifts of emphasis in media studies between content providers and audiences * Katz’s place in the canon of media studies * new ideas concerning the Katzian intersection of mass communication and interpersonal communication * transpositions of Katz’s ideas into new arenas, like human-machine communication and virtual reality * historical scholarship addressing: * Katz’s involvement in broadcasting and mass media, including his role as a creator of Israeli Television * the export of Katz’s ideas to communication and media studies departments around the world * the impact of Katz’s ideas on academic fields and areas of practice outside of communication Abstracts of 400 words (maximum), in Spanish or English, should be submitted no later than 20 December 2022. Draft papers will be pre-circulated in advance of the preconference, with all participants expected to read in advance. Send abstracts to the pre-conference organizers at: legaciesofkatz(a)gmail.com<mailto:legaciesofkatz@gmail.com><mailto:legaciesofkatz@gmail.com<mailto:legaciesofkatz@gmail.com>> Presenters will work within a timeline established to ensure that full papers are available for password-protected precirculation a month or more before the preconference, on the expectation that presented and non-presenters attendees read the papers in advance. The benefit of pre-circulation is that the bulk of time devoted to each panel can be given over to discussion among presenters and other attendees. Authors will be informed regarding acceptance/rejection no later than 10 January 2023. The preconference will take place on 25 May, 2023, and will be *free to all participants*, thanks to generous support from the Department of Communication and the Smart Family Institute of Communications at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, and the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.

CfP GIG-ARTS 2023: "The Governance of Cybersecurity: Resilience, Human Rights and Democracy" 15-16 May, Padova
by Mauro SANTANIELLO 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Dear colleagues, We hope this message finds you well. We are glad to announce that *The Seventh European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies (GIG-ARTS 2023) will be held in Padova, Italy, on 15-16 May 2023*. Please thus find hereafter the CFP for the GIG-ARTS 2023 Conference. Feel free to disseminate this call. Submissions are already open, we are looking forward to receiving your abstracts describing your latest research work and we very much hope to see you in Padova! Best regards, GIG-ARTS 2023 Organizing Committee: Joanna Kulesza, Meryem Marzouki, Claudia Padovani, Maria Stella Righettini, and Mauro Santaniello ===== *GIG-ARTS 2023 - The Seventh European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies15-16 May 2023, PadovaThe Governance of Cybersecurity: Resilience, Human Rights and Democracy* *events.gig-arts.eu/gig-arts2023 <http://events.gig-arts.eu/gig-arts2023>* *Call for Abstracts - Deadline: 26 February 2023 *While during the early stage of Internet development security concerns were generally dealt with as a regulation matter with law enforcement authorities fighting cybercrime, cybersecurity has recently become one of the most debated and controversial issue in the field of internet governance. Cyberattacks have changed in nature and intensity: their growing number; the variety of their targets (public institutions, critical infrastructures and utilities, large and strategic companies); in some cases the terrorist and/or quasi-military objectives of their proven or alleged authors, sponsors or beneficiaries; the expansion of their surface, making profit of digitalization progresses in all sectors; together with the escalation of geopolitical tensions and conflicts; are all features pushing cybersecurity issues to the top of the agendas of both public and private actors. The increasing relevance of cybersecurity is reshaping state powers, public administration, private businesses, civil society and academic research as well. New agencies, procedures, and structures have been institutionalised both by national governments and international organisations to deal with cybersecurity policy problems. New power relations are being established, both inside and beyond the state. Governments, both at the national and local levels, are still struggling to find their own governance structures and set of instruments in the range of different cybersecurity models (e.g. cyber defence, cyber offence, cyber resilience, etc.) and their possible implementations. The provision of public goods and services is undergoing a profound re-design and re-engineering process led by cybersecurity concerns, that implies new models of citizenship and new modes of public administration. Private companies are facing new challenges, often dealing with a shortage of skills and competences of the workforce, while new companies and new business models are emerging around the transnational market of cybersecurity. At the global level, states, through their representatives at the United Nations and its different bodies, confirmed that international law applies online as it does offline. They also identified the need to better understand how international law could be applied in cyberspace, with issues of attribution, liability, sovereignty, rule of law and due diligence being raised. Given the multistakeholder feature of global internet governance, private companies have also jumped in with their own proposals, promoting their roles as possible norms entrepreneurs. Technical management and standardisation organisations have a prominent role to play as well when dealing with global cybersecurity. As a consequence, new research agendas and scientific perspectives on cybersecurity are consolidating, shaping a novel multidisciplinary field of inquiry that is not only exceeding the original field of internet governance, but seems also phagocytizing it: internet governance as an issue of cybersecurity governance. After having addressed “Global Internet Governance as a Diplomacy Issue” at its first edition in 2017, “Overcoming Inequalities in Internet Governance” in 2018, “Europe as a Global Player in Internet Governance” in 2019, “Online Information Governance” in 2020, and “Global Internet Governance and International Human Rights” in 2022, the European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies turns its attention this year to the governance of cybersecurity, in view of further investigating and inquiring the political, economic and epistemic transformations connected to the rise of cybersecurity and how they impact on democracy and human rights. In addition to general internet governance issues and topics, submissions are particularly welcome on the following themes: - Cybersecurity and democracy: civil liberties and human rights; - Cybersecurity, citizenship and digital sovereignty; - Institutionalisation of cybersecurity as a field of public policy; - From cybersecurity to cyber resilience: risk analysis, organisational challenges and capacity building; - Models and typologies of cybersecurity; - Relationships between cybersecurity and internet governance; - New theoretical frameworks and methods for the study of cybersecurity; - Cybersecurity and public administration digitalization; - The cybersecurity market and business models; - New technological developments and cybersecurity; - Cybersecurity narratives: policy discourses, cultures and ideologies; - Cybersecurity strategies, policies, instruments, and their implementation; - Multilateral and multistakeholder discussions and instruments for the global governance of cybersecurity; - Cybersecurity in international relations: cyber warfare, cyber peace, diplomacy and international law; - Cybersecurity in Europe Union strategy and policies. *Submission information*Authors are invited to submit their extended abstracts (no longer than 500 words), describing their research question(s), theoretical framework, approach and methodology, expected findings or empirical outcome. Submitted abstracts will be evaluated through a peer-review process. Abstracts and authors’ information should be submitted through the Easychair conference management system at: *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gigarts2023 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gigarts2023>* *Key dates* - Deadline for abstract submissions: 26 February 2023 - Notification to authors: 5 April 2023 - Authors registration (at least one author must register for a selected presentation to appear on the programme): From 5 to 15 April 2023 - Programme publication: 25 April 2023 - General registration: From 25 April to 5 May 2023 - Conference dates: 15 & 16 May 2023 *GIG-ARTS 2023 Co-Sponsors (tbc)*- Department of Political Science, Law and International Studies (SPGI) / University of Padova, Italy - Grant programme PRIN: Progetti di Ricerca di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale – Bando 2020 Prot. 2020X5LAK7 / Ministry of University and Research, Italy - Internet & Communication Policy Centre / University of Salerno, Italy - LIP6 Laboratory, Sorbonne Université & CNRS, France - Lodz Cyber Hub / University of Lodz, Poland *GIG-ARTS 2023 Committees* *Co-Chairs*- Joanna Kulesza, Łódz Cyber Hub, University of Łódz, Poland - Meryem Marzouki, Global Internet Governance & Digital Rights Expert, France - Maria Stella Righettini, Department of Political Science, Law and International Studies (SPGI), University of Padova, Italy *Organizing Committee*- Joanna Kulesza, Łódz Cyber Hub, University of Łódz, Poland - Meryem Marzouki, Global Internet Governance & Digital Rights Expert, France - Claudia Padovani, Department of Political Science, Law and International Studies (SPGI), University of Padova, Italy - Maria Stella Righettini, Department of Political Science, Law and International Studies (SPGI), University of Padova, Italy - Mauro Santaniello, Internet & Communication Policy Centre, University of Salerno, Italy *Scientific Programme Committee (tbc)*- Francesco Amoretti, University of Salerno, Italy - Simone Busetti, University of Teramo, Italy - Andrea Calderaro, Cardiff University, United Kingdom - Laura DeNardis, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA - Giuseppe Fenza, University of Salerno, Italy - Jonathan Kamkhaji, Politecnico di Milano, Italy - Joanna Kulesza (co-chair), University of Łódz, Poland - Nanette S.

Special Issue CfP Methods in Visual Politics and Protest (reminder)
by Suay Melisa Oezkula 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Dear Colleagues, This is a brief reminder of our Call for Papers for a Special Issue on "Methodological Developments in Visual Politics & Protest", to be published in the Journal of Digital Social Research (https://www.jdsr.io/) Abstracts of 400-500 words are due 15th December 2022. Full details can be found below and on the dedicated call website: https://www.jdsr.io/call-for-papers *BACKGROUND TO THIS SPECIAL ISSUE* War streaming on Instagram, propaganda in press photography, refugee activism on TikTok - recent European crises have shown images and videos as essential tools of communication in politics and protest, a trend mirrored in the increasing use of visual data in research methodologies. Visual data may capture practices of visual, performative, or non-verbal communication, text-image relationships, the development of visual formats, notions of aesthetics, as well as underlying meanings of symbols and codes. Extant research has since captured different elements of visual politics and protest, including social history (e.g. protest photography), political commentary or affiliation (e.g. through memes or profile picture overlays), social cues in political communication (e.g. in the form of GIFs, filters, or emoji), visual activism practices (e.g. culture-jamming, sousveillance video coverage, graphic flesh-witnessing, or video activism), and visual forms of information documentation and distribution (e.g. infographics). Even so, new creative practices have at times challenged research practices, for example with regards to image authenticity and appropriation in mis- and disinformation campaigns (e.g. deepfakes), the role of platform affordances in new visual formats and spaces (e.g. short videos on TikTok), (mis)interpretation and differing levels of visual literacy in communications, trust in image data as factual evidence, and opaqueness in the production of visual materials. These critical debates have been particularly contentious in the arena of politics and protest, where visuals have been seen to shape political opinion and discourse, electoral campaigns, war coverage, and Covid-19 data visualisations. In response to these trends, we are looking for methodologically oriented papers on visual politics and/or protest. This may include methodological discussions, new methods or approaches, worked examples or case studies, research on emerging visual digital phenomena, or submissions linking theory to methodology surrounding digital culture, data, or methods. Foci may be based around methods of data collection, analysis, visualisation, theorisation, or other methodological areas. On a broad level this may include (but is not limited to): ➢ New methodological approaches in visual or multimodal data collection or analysis ➢ Platform- or format-specific mitigations in conducting visual research on politics and protest ➢ New methodological approaches (including software tools if applicable) for capturing visuality or visual cultures in politics and protest ➢ Discussions of the relevance of technological formats, tools, and infrastructures in visual research ➢ Innovations in embedding visuals or visuality with textual, audio, or sensory materials ➢ Advancements in analysing specific political visual digital practices and/or phenomena ➢ Methodological strategies for interpreting and/or quantifying visual data ➢ Emerging approaches to visualising image or video data ➢ Suggestions or developments in the ethical treatment of visuality in politics, protest, or activism ➢ Epistemological discussions of the role of the visual in politics, protest, or social movements ➢ Advances in collecting, interpreting, and conceptualising social media data ➢ Linking theory to methodology in visual research We are open to different article structures. However, articles should have clear contributions in the arena of methodological research by outlining or describing new methodological approaches, innovations, strategies, or frameworks. As such, they should draw on methodological scholarship in the wider field. *SUBMISSION & KEY DATES* Extended abstracts of 400-500 words excluding reference list (references are optional) are due 15th December 2022 and should be sent directly to the special issue editors - see email info below. Final articles should be submitted directly via the journal website of the Journal of Digital Social Research (https://www.jdsr.io/) and have a word count of up to 8500 words inclusive of everything (abstracts, reference list, notes). 15th December 2022: special issue abstract submissions 15th February 2023: End of abstract selection & communication of results 15th April 2023: Full papers due 15th July 2023: End of first review round 15th October 2023: End of second review round December 2023: Publication of special issue *FURTHER DETAILS* This special issue call follows on from the pre-conference workshop “Visual Politics & Protest - Methodological Challenges” organised by the ECREA Visual Cultures section (see https://visualculturesecrea.wordpress.com/) Submissions to the special issue call are, however, open to everyone. For added context, the programme can still be viewed on the pre-conference website: https://cutt.ly/visual-politics-ecrea, along with a list of references discussed during the conference. In the case of both questions or submissions, please email us directly on the below indicated email addresses. *SPECIAL ISSUE TEAM* Suay Melisa Özkula, University of Trento, suaymelisa.ozkula(a)unitn.it Hadas Schlussel, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, hadas.schlussel(a)mail.huji.ac.il Danka Ninković Slavnić, University of Belgrade, dninkovic(a)yahoo.com Doron Altaratz, The Hadassah Academic College, doronal(a)edu.hac.ac.il Tom Divon, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, zem1987(a)gmail.com

Call for papers: Datafication of borders and migration, May 25, perhaps of interest too to people attending ICA 2023 URL: https://www.torontomu.ca/content/dam/cerc-migration/opportunities/Call-for-… Web page: https://www.torontomu.ca/cerc-migration/news/2022/11/call-datafication-bord… For an international workshop, co-convened by the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration; Intimacy in Data Driven Culture project, Tampere University; and Co-Designing a Fair Digital Asylum Research Project and Digital Migration Special Interest Group, Utrecht University Digital technologies and datafied systems are increasingly used to surveil, control and manage migration, shifting the balance in the humanitarianism-securitization nexus. New automated systems from facial recognition to language detection have profoundly intensified and changed migration and border policies (Nalbandian, 2022). Data driven technologies have rendered borders ubiquitous, multi-layered and mundane: the outside border control has become increasingly mobile, now travelling with and tracking migrated bodies after border crossings (Leurs & Ponzanesi, 2023; Aradau & Tazzioli 2020; Dijstelbloem, 2021; Metcalfe & Dencik, 2019; Chouliaraki & Georgiou, 2022; Ahouga, 2022). Datafication is often framed as a phenomenon that concerns everyone: in a highly networked digital world, datafication cannot be escaped. However, datafication does not treat everyone in the same way. Automated social sorting, critical data studies highlighted, is often based on categorizations and assumptions that echo existing social biases and historical power structures, as well as pervasive and accumulative surveillance of the already marginalized (Gangadharan & Niklas, 2019; Ajana, 2019; Colman, 2016; Nikunen & Valtonen, 2023). At the same time, data driven technologies also provide systems of help, aid and witnessing, as well as new forms of resistance and activism to support people who are seeking asylum or who are on the move (Gillespie et al., 2018, Glouftsios & Scheel, 2020; Latonero & Kift, 2018). The goal of this one-day conference is to bring together scholars to introduce their research on digital technologies and datafication in migration and discuss the ambivalent and contradictory role of datafication and digital technologies for migrants and refugees, as well as the unsettling consequences of datafication in bordering and policymaking. We invite papers that explore these issues from different global contexts and disciplines, from media and communication, migration studies, critical data studies, cultural studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, science and technology studies, law, social anthropology, criminology, data science and geography. The event fosters cross-disciplinary dialogues of qualitative research, ethnography, digital methods and critical data studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Affect and emotions related to border practices Biopolitics of borders Border and migration policy and datafication Data biases Datafied border infrastructures Detention, incarceration and data Digital bordering Digitization of asylum procedures Experience of data and borders Gender, decolonial, postcolonial and critical race studies Resistance, protest and activism Information practices Surveillance Witnessing Submissions for papers should include an abstract (300-400 words indicating main research questions, methods and expected results) and a short biographical note (150 words) about the author including her/his/their current position and interest in the field of digital media and migration. Submissions should be emailed to cerc.migration(a)ryerson.ca by January 10, 2023. Accepted participants will be notified by January 30, 2023.
