Dear community members! Intrigued by the Digital Services Act (DSA) but hesitant to delve into it alone? Let us do it together! *After a successful first session - *Catalina Goanta, Associate Professor in Private Law and Technology at Utrecht University, Taylor Annabell, Postdoctoral researcher for the ERC-funded HUMANads project at Utrecht University, and myself, Tom Divon, PhD researcher from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem - *will continue unpacking the basics of the DSA for media scholars.* Recently, regulation has garnered significant attention in media studies, yet deciphering complex legislation remains challenging. The Digital Services Act, a crucial piece of legislation, redefines platform liability within the EU. Amidst the optimistic expectations about its impact, our goal is to demystify and clarify the realities by delving into the underlying legal standards. *What is the plan?* *Webinar 1, November 30* - we focused on providing a comprehensive overview of the characteristics, goals, and framework of the DSA and placing it in the context of prior European legal structures. *The recording of this session will be released in the coming days!* This week: *Webinar 2, December 7, 16:00 CET *- our focus will be on the DSA provisions *Recommender Systems* and *Terms of Service* with a specific emphasis on compliance by TikTok. We aim to analyze how the DSA influences TikTok's platform documentation and the contractual relationship between the platform and its European Union consumers. Next week: *Webinar 3, December 14, 16:00 CET* - our focus will be on the explicit provisions regarding transparency and enforcement as embodied in the DSA Transparency Database. We warmly invite researchers from all corners of the globe to join us, regardless of their familiarity with the law or the DSA, *and whether or not they attended our first session.* *Please sign in using this link:* https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMlrLtPMAIonKjeVcPCGmWKkUZdjiKwr-… Join us for a regulation rollercoaster! -- *Tom Divon* Media & Culture R*esearcher* Dept. of Communication & Journalism, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Sammy Ofer School of Communications, IDC, Herzliya Tel: +972-547-532681 [image: Twitter] <https://twitter.com/TomDivon>[image: Instagram] <https://www.instagram.com/divon.tom/>[image: Facebook] <https://www.facebook.com/tom.divon> *Publications*: Playful Activism: Memetic Performances of Palestinian Resistance in TikTok #Challenges <https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20563051231157607>.

CfP GIG-ARTS 2024: 'Thirty Years of Multistakeholderism in Internet Governance: Assessments and Prospects' 3-4 June, The Hague
by Mauro SANTANIELLO 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Dear colleagues, We are glad to announce that *The Eighth European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies (GIG-ARTS 2024) will be held in The Hague, The Netherlands, on 3-4 June 2024*. Please find hereafter and attached the CFP for the GIG-ARTS 2024 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 The Hague! Best regards, GIG-ARTS 2024 Organizing Committee: Meryem Marzouki, Mauro Santaniello, Jan Aart Scholte (Co-Chair), and Tatiana Tropina (Co-Chair) ===== *8th GIG-ARTS Conference* *3-4 June 2024, The Hague* *‘Thirty Years of Multistakeholderism in Internet Governance: Assessments and Prospects'* *Global Transformations and Governance Challenges Programme * *The Hague Program on International Cyber Security * *Leiden University* *Call for Papers - Deadline: 2 February 2024* *GIG-ARTS* The European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies (GIG-ARTS) assembles scholars and practitioners in an annual conference to debate the latest research on governing the global internet. Each conference highlights a main theme, as well as including contributions on other aspects of global internet governance. Earlier GIG-ARTS meetings have addressed themes of “Global Internet Governance as a Diplomacy Issue” (Paris, 2017), “Overcoming Inequalities in Internet Governance” (Cardiff, 2018), “Europe as a Global Player in Internet Governance” (Salerno, 2019), “Online Information Governance” (Vienna, 2021), “Global Internet Governance and International Human Rights” (Nicosia, 2022), and “Governance of Cyber Security” (Padua, 2023). *GIG-ARTS 2024* The Eighth GIG-ARTS Conference, to be held at The Hague Campus of Leiden University, takes as its main theme “Thirty Years of Multistakeholderism in Internet Governance: Assessments and Prospects”. The multistakeholder principle has spread across governance of the internet (and other global issues) since the 1990s. After three decades of experimentation and development, how has this approach to ruling the internet fared? What promises have been fulfilled, and what problems persist? How can and should multistakeholder governance of the internet be taken forward into the future? In contrast to traditional multilateralism, which approaches global governance through formal intergovernmental organisations, multistakeholder arrangements bring together sectoral groups who “have a stake” in a given policy issue. Thus, rather than assembling representatives of nation-states, multistakeholder governance works through collaborations among academia, business, civil society, governments, technical community, etc. Multistakeholder global internet governance is most formally institutionalised in policymaking at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The principle also underpins workings of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) at its global, regional, and national levels, as well as organisations like the Internet Society (ISOC). Other nongovernmental global internet governance arrangements such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) continually involve academia, business, civil society, and governments alongside their main technical participants. Various United Nations processes, especially related to cybersecurity and internet governance, are also embracing the multistakeholder principle with pervasive consultations of nonstate actors. Multistakeholderism has been much debated in the internet ecosphere as well as global governance more broadly. Proponents argue that putting stakeholders at the heart of global resource management makes for more effective, democratic, trusted, and fair governance. Critics argue that multistakeholder processes are on the contrary inefficient, unaccountable, and subject to special-interest capture. Yet what does the record of thirty years actually show, and what are the prospects for the years to come? The Eighth GIG-ARTS Conference therefore especially welcomes papers and panels that address the sorts of questions listed below. We hope to bundle a collection of contributions in a journal special issue and/or an edited volume. • theorising multistakeholderism in global internet governance • typologies of multistakeholder internet governance • comparisons of multistakeholder governance in internet and other policy fields • comparisons of multistakeholderism with other models of internet governance (e.g. digital constitutionalism, digital sovereignty) • multistakeholderism as a discourse, narrative, and ideology of internet governance • general evolution of the multistakeholder approach in internet governance • experiences of particular multistakeholder arrangements in internet governance • (in)effectiveness of multistakeholder processes in internet governance • multistakeholderism and (deficits of) democracy in internet governance • equality and/or discrimination in multistakeholder internet governance • human rights and multistakeholder internet governance • collaboration and/or competition between multilateralism and multistakeholderism • multistakeholderism and geopolitics in internet governance • the role of governments in multistakeholder internet governance • legitimacy (empirical, legal, and normative) in multistakeholder internet governance • accountability (and its limits) in multistakeholder internet governance Of course, as always, next to the theme the GIG-ARTS conference also welcomes paper and panels on other aspects of internet governance. *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 https://conftool.gig-arts.eu. *Key dates* - Deadline for abstract submissions: 2 February 2024 - Notification to authors: 29 March 2024 - Deadline for author confirmation (at least one author must register for a selected presentation to appear on the programme): 12 April 2024 - Programme publication: 22 April 2024 - Registration deadline: 22 May 2024 - Conference dates: 3-4 June 2024 *Co-Sponsors* - Global Transformations and Governance Challenges Programme, Leiden University - The Hague Program on International Cyber Security, Leiden University - Internet & Communication Policy Centre, University of Salerno *Organizing Committee* - Meryem Marzouki, Global Internet Governance & Digital Rights Expert - Mauro Santaniello, Internet & Communication Policy Centre, University of Salerno - Jan Aart Scholte, Global Transformations and Governance Challenges, Leiden University (Co-Chair) - Tatiana Tropina, Cyber Security Governance, Leiden University (Co-Chair) *Scientific Programme Committee* - Carolina Aguerre, Universidad Católica del Uruguay - Francesco Amoretti, University of Salerno - Dennis Broeders, Leiden University - Andrea Calderaro, Cardiff University - Madeline Carr, University College London - Corinne Cath, Delft University of Technology - Olga Cavalli, South School on Internet Governance - Eduardo Celeste, Dublin City University - Jean-Marie Chenou, Expertise France - Dmitry Epstein, Hebrew University - Marianne Franklin, University of Groningen - Rikke Frank Jørgensen, The Danish Institute for Human Rights - Hortense Jongen, Free University Amsterdam - Matthias Kettemann, University of Innsbruck - Nanette S.

04 Dec '23

Hi all, Call open until December 15 to apply for an intensive / PhD course on studying visual cultures in the platformed, networked, augmented and synthetic era. Please share with students / colleagues who might enjoy this. * Interested in exploring the complexity of visual culture as platformed interactions collide with generative AI? Curious about how to take an interpretive, reflexive, and qualitative approach to studying trust and authenticity in the age of algorithmic media? Join us for the 2024 edition of Visuality, Culture, and Methods - a week-long intensive course May 6-10 at University of Tallinn, Estonia, this time in collaboration with the TRAVIS research project <https://www.tlu.ee/en/bfm/research/trust-and-visuality-everyday-digital-pra…> Application deadline: December 15, 2023 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2024 Dates: May 6 - 10, 2024 Location: Tallinn University, Estonia Led by: Katrin Tiidenberg, Annette Markham, Gillian Rose, Maria Schreiber, and Asko Lehmuskallio How do we study and conceptualize visual cultures and phenomena, when everyday life continues to be platformed and networked, online experiences are increasingly multimodal and visual, and generative AI adds new complexities to already sophisticated photo and video editing practices? As the world shifts further away from the idea that photos are proof of real events, how should visual studies shift? This PhD school focuses on conceptual premises informing visual culture studies, and dives into interpretive epistemologies, innovative qualitative research, and creative analytic techniques to explore the intersections of visuality, authenticity, trust, and intimacy in digitally-saturated social contexts. Participants learn from world class experts, hands-on experiments and each other.
