CfP: Mediated Conversation minitrack of HICSS, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
by Seth Lewis 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

CALL FOR PAPERS: Mediated Conversation minitrack of HICSS The Mediated Conversation minitrack focuses on the study of conversations taking place on digital and social media. Conversations are at the core of human communication. Mediated conversations can use text, emoticons, audio, images, or video, or any combination thereof. The minitrack welcomes research on conversations that are interpersonal as well as those that occur via organizational or mass communication; involve journalistic, educational, or political contexts; or which appear in any other sphere of human activity, including the emerging interplay of human-machine communication. For details, see https://mediatedconversation.wordpress.com/ This minitrack is part of the Digital and Social Media track of HICSS, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, which will host its 56th annual conference on January 3-6, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency, Maui. The submission site opens mid-April. Submissions will be accepted until June 15, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. HST This minitrack brings together researchers and innovators to explore mediated conversation and its implications; to raise new socio-technical, theoretical, ethical, pedagogical, linguistic, and social questions; and to suggest new methods, perspectives, and design approaches. The Mediated Conversation minitrack is the successor of the Persistent Conversation minitrack (established by Tom Erickson and Susan Herring at HICSS in 1999), which was originally focused on the novelty of conversational persistence. With the prevalence of mediated conversation, we are called upon to consider a wider field of issues. Examples of appropriate topics include but are not limited to: * Innovation in mediated conversational practice * The dynamics and analysis of large-scale conversation systems (e.g., MOOCs and big data applications) * Methods for analyzing mediated conversation: qualitative, quantitative, data analytics, etc. * Mediated collaboration * The dark side of mediated conversation: e.g., loafing, incivility, hate speech, bullying, and communication overload * Studies of virtual communities or other sites of mediated conversation * Ethics and mediated conversation: privacy, deception, freedom of speech, security, and information warfare * The role of mediated conversation in knowledge management * The role of mediated conversation in organizations * Domain-specific applications, opportunities, and challenges of mediated conversations and conversational exchanges (e.g., in education, healthcare, social movements, government, citizen participation, management, and news media) * Conversation visualizations and analytics * The role of listeners, lurkers, and silent interactions * Novel properties of mediated conversation * A platform’s role in mediating the conversation * Power dynamics and conversational patterns among users of social media * The role of conversation in understanding the interplay between media producers and media audiences * Human-machine communication and related conversations (e.g., chatbots) Fast-track journal opportunity: Authors of papers accepted for presentation in the minitrack will be offered the opportunity to submit an extended version of their papers for consideration for fast-track publication in the ACM journal ACM Transaction on Social Computing (https://tsc.acm.org/) Mediated Conversation minitrack co-chairs: Seth C.

New open access book: Heritage and Nationalism (UCL Press)
by Coughlin, Margie 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

*** We apologise for any cross-posting*** UCL Press is delighted to announce the publication of a new open access book that may be of interest to list subscribers: Heritage and Nationalism, by Chiara Bonacchi. Download it free: https://bit.ly/3MQZalJ ******************************************* Heritage and Nationalism By Chiara Bonacchi Free download: https://bit.ly/3MQZalJ ******************************************* How was the Roman Empire invoked in Brexit Britain and in Donald Trump's United States of America, and to what purpose? And why is it critical to answer these kinds of questions? 'Heritage and Nationalism' explores how people's perceptions and experiences of the ancient past shape political identities in the digital age. It particularly examines the multiple ways in which politicians, parties and private citizens mobilise aspects of the Iron Age, Roman and Medieval past of Britain and Europe to include or exclude 'others' based on culture, religion, class, race, ethnicity, etc. Chiara Bonacchi draws on the results of an extensive programme of research involving both data-intensive and qualitative methods to investigate how pre-modern periods are leveraged to support or oppose populist nationalist arguments as part of social media discussions concerning Brexit, the Italian Election of 2018 and the US-Mexican border debate in the US. Analysing millions of tweets and Facebook posts, comments and replies, this book is the first to use big data to answer questions about public engagement with the past and identity politics. The findings and conclusions revise and reframe the meaning of populist nationalism today and help to build a shared basis for the democratic engagement of citizens in public life in the future. The book offers a fascinating and unmissable read for anyone interested in how the past and its contemporary legacy, or 'heritage', influence our 'political' thinking and feeling in a time of hyper-interconnectivity.

Reminder-CfP – TikTok-Music-Cultures: Perspectives on the Study of Musicking Practices On and Through TikTok
by Juan Bermudez 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, (With apologies for cross-posting!) Please feel free to circulate this call within your networks Call for Papers (deadline for submission: April 1st, 2022) TikTok-Music-Cultures: Perspectives on the Study of Musicking Practices On and Through TikTok International Symposium hosted by the Department of Musicology, University of Vienna – May 26-29, 2022 Call for Papers In a deterritorialized and digitally interconnected world, a vast number of interrelations between physical, virtual, multilocal and multimedia spaces have been developed and established as an inseparable part of our daily life. Just as the use of digital media and devices transforms our daily life, it also influences our musical practices. In addition to musicians employing social media and other digital technologies to represent and market themselves, other stakeholders also participate in the discourse on digital music practices. This has enabled performers to construct new mixed and virtual identities, as well as to make the interrelation and interconnectedness between physical and virtual multi-local spaces increasingly clearer. This appropriation of the virtual worlds, along with the development of new virtual platforms, provides new spaces to develop new forms of musical practice. TikTok is an example of this process. TikTok is a smartphone application aimed at creating and sharing short videos, and currently one of the fastest growing social media applications worldwide, offering an interaction space for different music and video practices. TikTok has not only become an inseparable part of contemporary popular culture, but also operates as a portal into the social, political and cultural spectrums of everyday life. The platform not only attracts attention of teenagers and people of all ages, but has gained interest among the academic community. The investigation of a deterritorialized multimedia musicking such as TikTok offers a large number of theoretical implications, while possessing practical and methodological challenges. In order to understand 1) how people create and disseminate forms of sonic and visual creativity, 2) how people stage performances and build (artistic) identities and communities, 3) how people engage in the production and circulation of content, and 4) how people experience and perform gender, class and race on and through TikTok, we welcome contributions from scholars who are interested in issues pertaining to musicking practices on and through TikTok from a variety of analytical perspectives addressing (though not exclusively) the following: Corporality and Vocality Digital Inequalities Digital intersectionalities (gender, class and race) Fandom Identity and Community Internet- and Youth Cultures Marketing Methodological and theoretical perspectives Multimediality / Transmediality Musical expressions Musical memes Politics and Activism We strongly encourage active participation from women, BIPOC, young researchers, people of the global south, and people who are members of underrepresented sociopolitical groups. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES • Individual paper abstracts should be within 250 and 300 words. Presentations should be 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions. • Panel or roundtable abstracts about specific topics should include a 300 word general abstract and 250 word individual summaries. The panel or roundtable should have a duration of 120 minutes. • Workshop proposals should specify an objective, and pedagogical approach or method along with an abstract of 350 to 500 words. The workshop should have a duration of 120 minutes. • Performance demonstrations or innovative and experimental presentation formats should have a proposed duration of max. 90 minutes. These proposals should be a maximum of 500 words and include information about the format and content of the session. DEADLINES FOR SUBMISSION Proposals and abstracts should be sent by April 1st, 2022 to: tiktokcultures.vie(a)gmail.com <mailto:tiktokcultures.vie@gmail.com> Each abstract should include name and surname, brief biography (100 words), institutional affiliation (when applicable), email, and technical requirements. The program committee will select proposals via a peer-reviewed process and notify participants of their acceptance by April 8th, 2022. LANGUAGE Proposals and papers may be submitted and given in German, English or Spanish. The presenter is asked to provide a translation of the paper in English at the symposium for the sake of wider understanding. PUBLICATION A publication based on selected presentations is planned as a tangible outcome of the symposium. HOST INSTITUTION The symposium will run in a hybrid format. In-person activity (subject to the developing situation of the COVID-19 pandemic) will be hosted by the Department of Musicology at the University of Vienna.

Social media for consumer engagement in healthcare
by Louisa Walsh 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, I'm writing to let you know that a new guide for using social media to engage consumers in hospital service design and improvement activities is now available and may interest some of you working in health and health research. Using social media as a tool to facilitate consumer engagement in service design and quality improvement: A guide for hospitals, service providers and consumers was developed as part of my NHMRC-funded PhD project and co-created with Australian hospital service providers and consumers. You can access the guide, the accompanying Implementation Workbook, and read more about the project that led to the guide, on the project website<https://www.latrobe.edu.au/chcp/projects/using-social-media-to-facilitate-c…>. The aim of the guide is to: * Help hospitals, service providers, and consumers understand how social media can be used as a consumer engagement tool * Provide evidence-based strategies and actions for implementing social media as a consumer engagement tool in Australian public hospital service design and QI * Provide implementation tools for social media-based consumer engagement The guide was developed for three main groups of people involved in service design and QI in hospitals: * Hospital decision makers: Service providers and consumer representatives in hospital executive and/or governance roles; Communications professionals who are responsible for managing organisational social media pages and developing communication plans * People who are involved in service design and QI projects: Service providers and consumer representatives who are involved in planning, implementing, and evaluating service design and QI projects * Consumers: Patients, family members, and carers; People in consumer representative roles While it has an Australian public hospital focus, much of the information is broadly applicable to consumer engagement in health and health research. If you have any questions about the guide or my research, please just be in touch. Please also feel free to share the links to the guide and the project website among your networks if you think it would be appropriate.

"Is Algorithmic Fairness Possible?" 3/23 at 10:30AM Mountain Standard (via Zoom)

Please join us for a brief informal talk & discussion by Marcello di Bello this Wednesday. Register (for free) here: https://bit.ly/b2c2-di-bello <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://bit.ly/b2c2-di-bello__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ…> B2C2 Seminar, Wednesday, March 23, 10:30-11:30 MST "Is Algorithmic Fairness Possible?" The literature on algorithmic fairness in computer science is replete with impossibility theorems. They show that no predictive algorithm can concurrently achieve different formal criteria of fairness. So any algorithm is necessarily unfair under one criterion or another. What has been little appreciated is that these impossibility theorems apply to any evidence-based decision, whether or not it is algorithmic. I offer a few examples of this fact, drawing from medical diagnoses and trial proceedings. So then, are all decisions inherently unfair? To avoid despair, I will outline a possibility theorem, a way to concurrently satisfy a restricted family of fairness criteria. This is the best our decisions can aspire to achieve, and--perhaps--it is all they should aspire to achieve. Marcello Di Bello is Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Arizona State University. His research lies at the intersection of philosophy of law and epistemology, with a focus on questions about risk and probability, and evidence and quantitative information. -- // Alexander Halavais (he/him) @halavais alex.halavais.net // Associate Professor of Data & Society dasprogram.org // New College, Arizona State University theprof(a)asu.edu <http://asu.edu/> // Emails generally checked 2x a day. five.sentenc.es

Call for applications Postgraduate Course ‘Platformisation of cultural and audio-visual sectors in the European Union: new policies for new stakeholders’, 9-14th of May 2022, Interuniversity Centre (IUC), Dubrovnik, Croatia Course lecturers: Valerija Barada, University of Zadar, Croatia Paško Bilić, Institute for Development and International Relations (IRMO), Croatia Lilian Hanania, Hanania Consulting and Sciences Po Paris, France (via Zoom) Ole Marius Hylland, Telemark Research Institute, Norway Kylie Jarrett, Maynooth University, Ireland David Nieborg, University of Toronto, Canada Jaka Primorac, Institute for Development and International Relations (IRMO), Croatia Aleksandra Uzelac, Institute for Development and International Relations (IRMO), Croatia Bjarki Valtysson, University of Copenhagen, Denmark About the course: 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) and platformisation of cultural production (Poell et al, 2021). The main focus of this course will be on the role of EU policies on online platforms that affect supply and demand of cultural and audio-visual production. Attention will be given to unpacking social, political and economic dimensions of platformisation, moving beyond deterministic usage of term. Questions that the course will tackle are: How can we interpret changes in EU policies relating to online platforms and cultural and audio-visual sectors? How are they balancing market competition with cultural diversity and pluralism? Can we talk about European digital cultural policies and what are they entailing? What new stakeholders are emerging and what new policies are created? What new types of creative labour practices are brought about by the online platforms? What theoretical frameworks would be best suited to interpret these changes? We welcome PhD candidate submissions from a wide variety of theoretical and/or empirical approaches (e.g. sociology, cultural studies, economy) to the study of the impact of platforms on (policy) developments of cultural and audio-visual sectors. The course is offering 2+2 ECTS points (2 for participation and 2 for presentation). Limited number of partial scholarships available. Deadline for applications: 10th of April 2022 Decision on acceptance: 18th of April 2022 Application form is available at the following link Contact: platEU(at)irmo.hr, jaka(at)irmo.hr, https://plateu.irmo.hr/en/ This postgraduate course is part of activities of the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet project ‘European Union Policies and the Platformisation of Cultural and Audio-visual Sectors – platEU’ (2020-2022) dedicated to promoting discussion and reflection on EU policies related to the impact of online platforms on cultural and audio-visual (AV) sectors in Europe.
