Hello again Aoir, Just wanted to thank everyone for sharing such useful sources - all of them look really interesting and those I've been able to track down have been very helpful. There are a few other sources I've come across today which might also be helpful: Bratton, B. 2016. *The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty.* MIT Press Cath, C et al. 2017. Media Development in the Digital Age: Five ways to engage in internet governance, CIMA, https://www.cima.ned.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/CIMA-Internet-Governanc… Parks, L; Starosielski, N. 2015.* Signal Traffic: Critical Studies of Media Infrastructures*. University of Illinois Press Also, Nathaniel, I was particularly thinking about the technical / physical infrastructures, although very hard to completely separate out from the social, political, judicial, and governance levels. On that note, Shuli Hallak's photos are amazing!

internet infrastructures?
by Zoetanya Sujon 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Good morning AoIR, I am looking for up-to-date resources for understanding the infrastructure of the internet, including the role of mobile and telephone networks in that infrastructure. As a starting point, I've looked at Janet Abbate's 'Inventing the Internet' (2000) and Kurose and Ross's 'Computer Networking' (2013). I tend to focus on the social/cultural aspects of the web, so this is a little outside my own area of focus, and I fear I may be missing some basics. Any recommendations gratefully received! ____________________________ Dr Zoetanya Sujon Senior Lecturer in Media Theory Secondment in Academic and Educational Development School of Creative and Liberal Arts Regent's University London, Regent's Park, Inner Circle, London NW1 4NS 020 3075 6180 | sujonz(a)regents.ac.uk <https://mail.regents.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=V91qkBM7U02Ve7tJXV85VcAHD1pxP9Q…> | @jetsumgerl <https://twitter.com/jetsumgerl?lang=en> | Blog: <https://mail.regents.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=V91qkBM7U02Ve7tJXV85VcAHD1pxP9Q…> https://sujonz.wordpress.com/ -- 'You are marvellous.

The Vasari Research Centre for Art and Technology at Birkbeck is pleased to invite you to an upcoming event involving many of the key figures in contemporary software studies. The event is free, but please do register via the Eventbrite link below. All best wishes and apologies for cross-posting, Joel *Matthew Fuller How To be a Geek: Essays on the Culture of Software Book Launch – 24th November, Birkbeck* What would an adequate cultural theory of the changes brought about by computing look like? How would it work in relation to established forms of cultural and technical knowledge? What are the aesthetic and political dimensions of things such as algorithms, interfaces, encryption, and programming languages? The diversity and richness of computational processes and structures, as well as their commanding economic and political position, requires engaged and technically informed critical investigation and invention. To mark the publication of Matthew Fuller's new collection of essays *How To Be a Geek: Essays on the Culture of Software*, a panel of co-authors and collaborators on various chapters in this book will convene to present brief overviews of their work in this area. A wine reception will follow the presentations. Matthew Fuller (Goldsmiths, author of *Media Ecologies: Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture* and co-author of *Evil Media*) M.

Reminder: Digital Methods Winter School 2018 -- Call for Participation
by Fernando van der Vlist 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Dear all, The Digital Methods Initiative (DMI) will host its 10th annual Digital Methods Winter School from January 8-12, 2018 at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Below please find the call for participation. This year's theme is: "The Social Lives of Digital Methods: Encounters, Experiments, Interventions". The deadline for application is December 7, 2017. More information is available at https://bit.ly/dmi18-ws-call or email to winterschool(a)digitalmethods.net . Best regards, Fernando van der Vlist -- # CALL FOR PARTICIPATION # DIGITAL METHODS WINTER SCHOOL 2018 # JANUARY 8-12, 2018 # UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM # THE SOCIAL LIVES OF DIGITAL METHODS # ENCOUNTERS, EXPERIMENTS, INTERVENTIONS -- ## DIGITAL METHODS WINTER SCHOOL, DATA SPRINT AND MINI-CONFERENCE The Digital Methods Initiative (DMI), Amsterdam, is holding its annual Winter School on 'the Social Lives of Digital Methods: Encounters, Experiments, Interventions.' The format is that of a (social media and web) data sprint, with hands-on work for telling stories with data, together with a programme of keynote speakers and a Mini-conference, where PhD candidates, motivated scholars and advanced graduate students present short papers on digital methods and new media related topics, and receive feedback from the Amsterdam DMI researchers and international participants. Participants need not give a paper at the Mini-conference to attend the Winter School. For a preview of what the event is like, please view short video clips from a previous edition of the Summer School, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nTxwl_kA5I. Over the past decade digital methods of various kinds have been put to use by data journalists, national ministries, non-governmental organisations, city governments, media artists, police departments, international organisations, philanthropic funding agencies in the service of a wide variety of projects and objectives. Within the academy digital methods have spread from researchers of the internet, new media and computational culture, leading to encounters and experiments with a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, working with their own publics, partners, questions, concerns and modes of inquiry with and about the digital. That one may intervene with digital methods is clear, but the question concerns the positioning. Extremism and counter-terrorism units may wish to map online networks of groups and individuals. Under which circumstances and with which ethics to act? City governments may be interested in how to use platform data to inform their responses to emerging "gig" and "sharing" economies said to be changing the character of housing, transport and work. When an analyst finds concrete instances of over-renting properties, does one share the findings and if so how? Non-governmental organisations would like to know whether their anti-fossil fuel campaigns are reaching audiences outside of their own bubbles. How to make such questions relevant for academic research? Funders would like an issue area and the stakeholders mapped, but what if one finds that the funders are overdetermining the agenda of the field? How might the style of digital methods work on secure messaging apps vary, depending on whether the audience is critical media scholars, privacy advocates or public institutions? Researchers in fields such as science and technology studies and ethnomethodology have long pointed out that methods are not only used by researchers to study social life, they are also a part of social life (see, e.g. Garfinkel, 1984). This notion has been further elaborated and explored through a more recent agenda on the "social life of methods" (Ruppert, Law, & Savage, 2013). Digital methods and data projects can be used to create not only novel styles of analysis, but also different kinds of "interactivity" (Marres, 2017) -- from involving those who are researched in the research process, to different forms of participatory design, public involvement and experimentation. Such encounters may produce changes in the analytical interests and approaches of both researchers and practitioners, and may be considered a substantive part of the research process, rather than a communicative afterthought. At the 2018 Digital Methods Winter School we would like to put forward positioning practices that address working with practitioners together with the projects (and data sets) they bring along. The Winter School has as its goal to take stock and tell stories of interventions and the positionings one was able to take up. How to navigate the space between scholarly research, practitioner expectation and critical output? Additionally the Winter School will make interventions, working together with 'publics with an ask'. ## DIGITAL METHODS MINI-CONFERENCE AT THE WINTER SCHOOL The annual Digital Methods Mini-Conference at the Winter School, normally a one-day affair, provides the opportunity for digital methods and allied researchers to present short yet complete papers (5,000-7,500 words) and serve as respondents, providing feedback. Often the work presented follows from previous Digital Methods Summer Schools. The mini-conference accepts papers in the general digital methods and allied areas: the hyperlink and other natively digital objects, the website as archived object, web historiographies, search engine critique, Google as globalizing machine, cross-spherical analysis and other approaches to comparative media studies, device cultures, national web studies, Wikipedia as cultural reference, the technicity of (networked) content, post-demographics, platform studies, crawling and scraping, graphing and clouding, and similar. ## APPLICATIONS: KEY DATES The deadline for application is 7 December 2017. To apply please send along a letter of motivation, your CV (including postal address), a headshot photo, 100-word bio as well as a copy of your passport (details page only). Notifications of acceptance will be sent on 8 December. If you are participating in the mini-conference the deadline for submission of your paper is 2 January. The mini-conference takes place on Friday 12 January 2018. Please send your mini-conference paper to winterschool@digitalmethods. net . To attend the Winter School, you need not participate in the mini-conference. The full program and schedule of the Winter School and Mini-conference are available on 4 January 2018. -- ## More information: https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool2018 -- Fernando N. van der Vlist Research Associate, Collaborative Research Centre "Media of Cooperation", University of Siegen Research Associate, Digital Methods Initiative, University of Amsterdam Lecturer, New Media and Digital Culture, University of Amsterdam fernandovandervlist.nl https://www.fernandovandervlist.nl/ App Studies Initiative http://appstudies.org/
