CFP || Global Media and China_Special Issue_China and the Global South: Interrogating Imperialist Ambitions

Global Media and China CFP (Follow us at: https://twitter.com/GCHjournal <https://twitter.com/GCHjournal>; https://www.facebook.com/Global-Media-and-China-110136464998539/ <https://www.facebook.com/Global-Media-and-China-110136464998539/>) *** NO PAYMENT FROM AUTHORS Special Issue: China and the Global South: Interrogating Imperialist Ambitions Guest Editors: Stuart Davis, Assistant Professor, Department of Communication Studies, City University of New York, Baruch College (stuart.davis(a)baruch.cuny.edu <mailto:stuart.davis@baruch.cuny.edu>) Time Schedule: —December 10, 2022: a 1,000-word abstract and a 100-word bio, mentioning the title of the special issue in the subject line, to the guest editor: stuart.davis(a)baruch.cuny.edu <mailto:stuart.davis@baruch.cuny.edu> —10 January 2023: accepted abstracts notified —01 May 2023: full paper submission Overview: This proposed special issue raises a question linked to the single most pivotal shift in the contemporary international relations: How do transformations in the media and technological landscapes of the Global South reflect China’s rise as the primary contemporary challenger to American economic and political hegemony? In addressing this question, contributions will help provide insight into a conflict that the US State Department (2021) has recently labelled the “most significant case of great-power competition in the 21st century”; a so-called "new Cold War" that has manifested across sectors ranging from resource extraction to telecommunications. Given their strategic role during and after the Cold War along with their histories of political conflict and economic disadvantage, nations within the Global South are key sites of economic and political conflict for larger states attempting to exercise economic and political influence. In the case of China, many pundits and academics (particularly in the US) have labelled its recent expansion into the Global South as "China's new age of imperialism" (French, 2014), arguing that it is using its economic and political strength to impose its will on "weaker" nations. In a similar vein, within communication and media studies critics have designated China's purported domination a form of “technological imperialism” (Greene and Triolo, 2021) wherein financial or technical support provides a wedge for commercial market domination and opens the door to increased cultural influence. Pushing against these dystopian views of Chinese globalization, others have argued that Chinese-oriented development portends a more egalitarian approach, particularly in the Global South. This expansion, in the words of political economist Giovanni Arrighi, offers "the promise of a global order based on economic interdependence but respectful to political and cultural differences" (Arrighi 2008, p. 379). Building on the trailblazing work of Yan (2020), Davis and Xiao (2021), and a scant few others, this proposed special issue will turn to media and communication processes in the Global South in an attempt to move beyond sweeping claims about the impact of Chinese globalization. In this vein, we welcome empirical investigations of how the Chinese state and Chinese media and technology corporations are expanding in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and other parts of Southeast Asia. Contributors might address topics related to Chinese development initiatives in media or telecommunications infrastructure, cultural diplomacy and soft power, the expansion of Chinese-owned platforms, and other topics related to China's increasingly powerful role in telecommunications, ICT, news, and other media industries. Relatedly, contributions that deal with media responses to Chinese-led development are also welcome, including those that interrogate local responses such as heightened Sinophobia.

CFP: JASIST Special Issue “Healthier Information Ecosystems”
by Brian McKernan 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Call for Papers This special issue of the *Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology* (*JASIST*), “Healthier Information Ecosystems,” will focus on the interconnected nature of online pathologies, draw attention to the socio-technical aspects of information technology, and animate interdisciplinary approaches to addressing these problems. Similar to Buckminster Fuller’s mission of “World Game,” we want to aid in developing a wide variety of solutions (including but not limited to technical, political, social, and educational) to the wicked problems of our time to make “the world work for 100% of humanity, in the shortest period of time… without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” We invite contributions that address the socio-cultural embeddedness of the problems plaguing information ecosystems and provide new ways of thinking about and strategies to achieve a healthier global information environment. We are actively seeking a broad approach to issues of healthier information ecosystems, including both theoretical and applied, qualitative and quantitative, as well as inside and outside the discipline of information science and technology. We are interested in transdisciplinary contributions that move beyond narrow, cross-sectional treatments of online phenomena to highlight the socio-technical dynamics of online spaces framed in cultural-historical contexts. Themes to Consider We are open to a wide variety of methodologies, including empirical, theoretical, and applied. We are also open to contributions that propose new approaches to exploring these issues and/or solutions from an interconnected information ecosystem perspective, but such papers should clearly explain how the proposed approaches will contribute to substantive solutions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Definitions of healthy ecosystems - Ethical models for evaluating the health of online information ecosystems - Multilevel metrics for evaluating the health of online information ecosystems Strategies for creating healthy ecosystems - Design and collective human dynamics - Disrupting systems of mis- and dis-information in politics and democracy, including national, state, and local politics. - Educational interventions Connecting information to other disciplines - Information as a social, political, economic, and cultural phenomenon - Interdisciplinary perspectives and approaches to information and media - The role of information ecosystems in conspiracy theories - Interactions between online and offline decision making and behavior - Information architecture, interface design and psychological biases of information consumers - Engaging with systems of power; who is advantaged and who is disadvantaged from current or future systems New methods of theory, research, and application of information ecosystems - Complex dynamics of information, social interaction and cognition - Social dynamics and digital media ecosystems - How policy, economic, and market forces shape algorithm design and development - Big data, open science, and their socio-cultural impacts - Hijacking of user-generated content and / or AI-generated content - Mis- and dis-information transference during the COVID 19 pandemic Papers should speak to the information science community, but do so in an interdisciplinary manner that centers on the interplay of information, technology, and society. We are eager to receive contributions from disciplines that might lend new perspectives, including (but not limited to) statistical physics, complex systems, biology, environmental science, economics, management science, organization science, communication, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy. All contributions should clarify how they can be used to help our information ecosystems work for the betterment of society at large, developing an inclusive and thus “healthy” ecosystem. Introduction to Guest Editors Josh Introne is an Assistant Professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, USA, and director of the C4-Lab, which focuses on research at the intersection of complexity, cognition, communication, and computation.
