The Center for Computational and Data Sciences presents a talk by Bharath Ganesh titled "Transgressive repertoires in the micropolitics of Stormfront's fascist virtual community". Please join us for Bharath's talk at 12:00PM Eastern Time, on Friday the 25th of February. Feel free to share this announcement. Register here: https://forms.gle/ysFyRyvvpm6xAH6VA. A zoom link will follow. Transgressive repertoires in the micropolitics of Stormfront's fascist virtual community Work by Bharath Ganesh & Jonathan Bright Abstract: Right-wing extremists have long used digital communication to produce virtual communities where users can safely transgress normative injunctions against hate, racism, and white supremacy. Using word and document embedding on the widely-studied white supremacist forum Stormfront.org, this paper studies on the role of transgression on the site's various subforums. The paper observes how Stormfront users express their identities through the lens of an embedding space based on a dataset covering the years 2000-2015 and approximately 1.7 million posts. Through this distant reading of transgressive practices on the forum, this paper argues that its virtual community reproduces not only fascism as an ideology, but also as a libidinal economy. Through their expressions on the forum, members of Stormfront's white supremacist community find themselves a unique site to find 'freedom' from their lives, stifled by 'political correctness' and 'Jewish power'. Looking back at this decade and a half of Stormfront activity that precedes the 'mainstreaming' of white supremacist, reactionary, and racist ideas in the networked publics that cut across social media platforms, this paper illustrates a set of transgressive repertoires that sustain and reproduce white supremacist virtual communities and remain crucial as white supremacist digital cultures migrate to 'alt-tech' platforms. Bio: Bharath Ganesh is an assistant professor of Media Studies at the University of Groningen. His research explores technology, governance, and dignity, and currently focuses on the intersections between platforms and racism, hate speech, and extremism. He studies how extremist networks of users exploit social media platforms as well as how platform companies have responded to this challenge. His recent publications explore the cultures of far right publics online, political communication, disinformation, and platform governance. His recent work can be found in Cultural Studies and Journal of European Integration. For questions, please email jjhemsle(a)syr.edu<mailto:jjhemsle@syr.edu>

State-of-the-art and novel methodologies and technologies allow researchers, designers, and domain experts to pursue Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) solutions targeting not only cognitive processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. Nowadays, we can identify two main legs, providing necessary and complementary strengths to a TEL-oriented design process: appropriate technologies should be applied, and appropriate methods should guide the design of such application. Technologies in TEL are capable of delivering smart, personalized, tailored, and motivating learning solutions. Methods are coming from different fields, such as education, psychology, medicine, computer science, and from diverse communities, where collaboration and co-working are used, such as maker communities and participatory design communities. In addition, Learning Analytics can help manage available (big) data and augment learning opportunities for learners and educators alike, for instance by supporting self-regulated learning or adaptation of the learning material. As to these topics, the annual appointment of MIS4TEL established itself as a consolidated fertile forum where scholars and professionals from the international community, with a broad range of expertise in the TEL field, share results and compare experiences. The 12th edition of the conference calls for novel research in TEL and expands the topics of the previous editions, highlighting the role of the most recent methods and technological opportunities. As in the tradition of MIS4TEL, this edition aims at offering the different perspectives, and complementary voices, coming from the multidisciplinary field of TEL. >>> TOPICS Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: # Technologies and technology-based solutions for TEL # - AI technologies and tools for TEL - Agent-based and multi-agent TEL systems - Knowledge representation, reasoning, and management systems for TEL - Natural language systems for TEL - Recommendation, personalization, and adaptation in TEL systems - Social networks for TEL - Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) for TEL - Internet of things (IoT) solutions for TEL - Smart solutions or environments for TEL - Wearable technologies for TEL - Robotics for TEL - Virtual reality environments for TEL - Games for TEL or gamified TEL - Sharing and interoperability between TEL environments - Making and fabrication for TEL # Methodologies and experiences for TEL # - Methodologies for personalization, user modeling, and adaptation in TEL- Methodologies for recommendation systems and user modeling in TEL - Methodologies for fostering motivation and engagement in TEL - Methodologies for the design of accessible and usable TEL systems - Methodologies for including different voices in the design process of TEL - Methodologies for informal learning for TEL - Methodologies for fostering TEL in small, medium, and large companies - Methodologies, tools, and frameworks supporting experiments in TEL - Methodologies or approaches from game design and gamification for TEL - Novel experiences and studies (e.g., case studies, ethnographic studies, field studies, experimentations) with methodologies for TEL # Learning analytics for TEL # - Big data and data visualization in TEL - Learning analytics for curriculum design - Learning analytics for personalizing the learner experience - Learning analytics for predicting behavior - Learning analytics for designing learning interventions - Learning analytics for stakeholders >>> SUBMISSIONS # Submitting papers # MIS4TEL papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNNS Template, with a maximum length of 10 pages, including figures and references.

Call for papers for the special issue of the 'Media Studies' journal: 'Platformisation of cultural and audio-visual sectors in the European Union: new policies for new stakeholders'
by Pasko Bilic 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

- apologies for cross-posting - Call for papers Special issue of the journal Media Studies (Medijske studije): 'Platformisation of cultural and audio-visual sectors in the European Union: new policies for new stakeholders' Regulation of digital technologies is high on the EU policy agenda. Platforms capture the attention of policy makers due to their dependence on user data, impacts on traditional cultural and audio-visual supply and demand, transnational reach, and excessive concentration of power. Academic approaches focusing on different facets of platforms have been many (e.g. Gillespie, 2010; Jin, 2015; Mansell, 2015; Srnicek, 2017; Rochet and Tirole, 2003) with selected authors speaking of the rise of platform society (van Dijck et al, 2018). The process has taken a new dimension with the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic that has amplified citizens' usage of online platforms, both for work and for leisure. However, this is a multisided story where the level of digital inequalities in access and skills needs to be taken into account on the demand side. Moreover, the structural implications of supply of European cultural and audiovisual products via platforms also needs to be addressed. Policies are always lagging behind these practices, and in the context of dynamic platform infrastructures (Duffy et al, 2019) this is even more so. European Union has been active in this regard (e.g. Evens and Donders, 2018; Evens et al 2020), particularly with regard to developing strategic goals. The future impact of these policies, however, remains to be tested and verified. Digital Single Market (DSM) Strategy has been one of the priorities of the former Commissions' objectives. Small and medium size platforms can contribute to growth of skills and jobs in the EU, but the domination of large, mainly US, businesses (e.g. Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix) opens up questions related to European identity, European integration objectives and the role EU plays in the globalised world (Vlassis, 2020, 2021). This is a recurring issue with the development of European media policies, particularly when it comes to balancing industrial and competitive goals with cultural and public service goals (e.g. Michalis, 2014; Murdock, 2014). With this special issue, we aim to go further from the established discussions of platformisation of cultural production (Poell et al, 2021). The main focus will be on the role of European Union policies on online platforms that affect supply and demand of cultural and audiovisual production. Attention will be given to unpacking social, political and economic dimensions of platformisation, moving beyond deterministic usage of term. We invite papers that examine (but are not limited to) the following questions: How can we interpret changes in European Union policies relating to online platforms and cultural and audiovisual sectors? How well, if at all, are they challenging US platform monopolies? How are they balancing market competition with cultural diversity and pluralism? What new stakeholders are emerging and what new policies are drafted/created? Analyses tackling policies and practices in other countries that bring comparative approaches are also welcome. How do cultural content producers grapple with changes in platform governance (e.g. pricing strategies, content curation, privacy policies)? What are the implications for produced and distributed content? What new types of creative labour practices are brought about by the online platforms and how can we best analyse the policies developed to mitigate these changes? What are the consumption patterns of audiovisual and cultural content through platforms? What, if any, EU policies are targeting citizens' access and skills to use such content? With the increase of the usage of online platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic has there been an acceleration of the (re)creation of digital cultural policies (in Europe)? What theoretical frameworks would be best suited to interpret these changes? Please note that guest editors welcome submissions on a wide variety of theoretical and/or empirical contributions to the study of the impact of platforms on (policy) developments of cultural and audiovisual sectors. Guest editors: Jaka Primorac, Paško Bilić and Aleksandra Uzelac, Department for Culture and Communication, Institute for Development and International Relations (IRMO), Zagreb, Croatia Papers should be up to 8000 words, including footnotes and references. Detailed instructions for authors can be found here: https://hrcak.srce.hr/upute/guide_authors_Medijske_studije.docx Papers should be submitted directly through the Media Studies OJS system where they will undergo peer review following the usual procedures of the journal. Available here: https://hrcak.srce.hr/ojs/index.php/medijske-studije/about/submissions#onli… The special issue is scheduled for publication in December 2022.
