CFP Geomedia conference 2017
by Raul Ferrer Conill 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hello everyone, Sorry in advance for double posting! *CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANELS* *Geomedia 2017: Spaces of the In-Between* Karlstad, Sweden, 9-12 May 2017 Welcome to the 2^nd international Geomedia conference! The term /geomedia/ captures the fundamental role of media in organizing and giving meaning to processes and activities in space. It also refers to the geographical qualities of media, for example flows of digital signals between particular places and the infrastructure carrying those flows. The rapid expansion of mobile media, location-based services, geographical information systems and increasingly complex patterns of surveillance/interveillance has amplified the need for critical studies and theorizations of geomedia. The 2^nd Geomedia Conference welcomes contributions (full sessions/panels as well as individual papers) that analyze and problematize the relations between the any and all communication media and various forms of spatial creativity, performance and production across material, cultural, social and political dimensions. Geomedia 2017 provides a genuinely interdisciplinary arena for research carried out at the crossroads of geography, media and film studies. It also builds bridges to such fields as urban studies, rural studies, regional planning, cultural studies and tourism studies. *Keynote speakers:* Christian Licoppe Télécom ParisTech, France Scott McQuire University of Melbourne, Australia Gillian Rose The Open University, UK *Plenary panel Geographies of News:* Julie Firmstone University of Leeds, UK Philip Napoli Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA Lars Nyre University of Bergen, Norway Nikki Usher George Washington University, USA Henrik Örnebring (chair) Karlstad University, Sweden *Film screenings and directors: * /Reflections/ Sara Broos, Sweden (2016) /I Am Dublin/ David Aronowitsch, Ahmed Abdullahi, Anna Persson and Sharmarke Binyusuf, Sweden (2015) *Art installation:* /Fragmentarium/ Jacek Smolicki, Sweden *Abstract submissions:* Geomedia 2017 welcomes proposals for individual papers as well as thematic panels in English through the conference website: /www.geomedia.se/ < <http://www.geomedia.se> http://www.geomedia.se> /Individual paper proposals:/ The author submits an abstract of 200-250 words. Accepted papers are grouped by the organizers into sessions of 5 papers according to thematic area. /Thematic panel proposals:/ The chair of the panel submits a proposal consisting of 4-5 individual paper abstracts (200-250 words) along with a general panel presentation of 200-250 words. *Suggested themes include, but are not limited to: * * Art and event spaces * Cinematic geographies * Cosmopolitanism * Everyday communication geographies * Epistemologies and methodologies of geomedia * Geographies of media and culture industries * Geographies of news * Historical perspectives of geomedia * Lifestyle and tourism mobilities * Locative and spatial media * Material geographies of media * Media ecologies * Mediatization and space * Migration and media * Mobility and governance * Policy mobilities and power * Power geometries and mobility capital * Surveillance and spatial control * Urban and rural media spaces *Conference timeline* September 26^th 2016: Submission system opens December 9^th 2016: Deadline for thematic panels and individual paper proposals January 23^rd 2017: Notes of acceptance and registration opens February 28^th 2017: Early Bird pricing ends March 20^th 2017: Last day of registration *Conference website: * Information about registration, conference program, venue, social events and practical arrangements will be posted continuously at the conference website: <http://www.geomedia.se> www.geomedia.se < <http://www.geomedia.se> http://www.geomedia.se> *Contact: * You can reach us at <mailto:info@geomedia.se> info(a)geomedia.se <javascript:top.$WC.parent.openWin('%2FWorldClient.dll%3FSession%3DOUFJXL23L 9PP7%26View%3DCompose%26New%3DYes%26To%3Dinfo%2540geomedia.se','Compose',800 ,600,'yes');> *Organizers **and venue:* Geomedia 2017 is hosted by the Geomedia Research Group at the Department of Geography, Media and Communication, Karlstad University, Sweden. Conference Director: Linda Ryan Bengtsson Conference Coordinator: Lena Grip Director of the Geomedia Research Group: André Jansson *Conference theme* The special theme of Geomedia 2017 is Spaces of the In-Between. The theme will be addressed through invited keynote talks, a plenary panel, film screenings and artistic installations. Participants are also encouraged to submit proposals for paper sessions addressing the conference theme. Spaces of the In-Between sheds light on how media are, and have been, part of producing spaces and places that fall in-between or resist dominant categorizations. Such spaces include, firstly, more or less fluid media spaces that bridge or problematize the divisions of, for example, work and leisure, home and away, production and consumption. Secondly, spaces of the in-between are produced through various forms of mobility, related to for instance commuting or migration, that are shaped by and giving shape to particular media forms. Finally, the conference theme highlights mediations of concrete places that can be understood as neither/nor. Such places can be found on the margins of society or fall in-between dichotomized geo-social constructs like urban vs. rural, front-stage vs. back-stage, etc. Ultimately, the conference theme opens up for critical discussions of what forms of power and domination are expressed through the mediated/mediatized production of various in-between spaces.

Postdoc in Sociology/Digital Socioolgy @ Abertay University (UK)
by Stefano De Paoli 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

*** Little Reminder *** We are looking to recruit a postdoc in Sociology/Digital Sociology for 19 Months, to work with us on the H2020 CAPS project "PIE News". Application deadline is tomorrow (12th of August) The work will be mainly in the area of online reputation and it will require interdisciplinary collaborations. Further details about the post and the application process can be found here http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AOE216/post-doctoral-research-fell ow-in-sociology-human-computer-interaction/ The post is based at Abertay University in Dundee (UK). PIE News Overview: The overall ambition of the PIE News project is to foster the emergence of commonfare as an alternative economic model to fight poverty, a condition affecting some 25% of the European population. Commonfare is a new collaborative form of welfare provision based on equitable governance and grassroots democracy. It entails the involvement of diverse stakeholders to facilitate the bottom-up arousal of collective practices tackling the needs of the new poor (precarious workers, working poor, NEETs, people left behind by safety nets). The consortium will achieve this goal through a Collective Awareness Platform (CAPS) which (a) informs people about existing welfare state provisions, (b) provides them with the means to share good practices on how to handle poverty-related issues, and (c) supports their abilities to network and to sustain real-life value. The project pioneers commonfare as a new social innovation goal by raising collective awareness on the threats connected to Poverty, lack of Income, and unEmployment (‘PIE conditions’), thus empowering the new poor and enabling the relevant stakeholders, e.g. policy makers, to tackle such threats more effectively. Three pilot actions (in Croatia, Italy, and the Netherlands) will drive the design and implementation of the PIE News project, triggering a public engagement process. PIE NEWS capitalizes on the collective power and skills of the ‘new poor’ promoting commonfare through actions that increase collective awareness on PIE Conditions. Such actions will be supported by an extensive dissemination strategy, including, e. g., open calls for the organization of bottom-up networking events.The PIE News platform will innovate the CAPS domain not only in terms of target population and, public design approach, but also by combining a reputation system as a way to remunerate labour with a digital currency as a mean of acquisition of good and services within and outside the platform.

Our goal is to broaden the conversations at GROUP, with a format that may appeal to colleagues working toward journal publications, with an opportunity to receive feedback and to give visibility to their work. WiPs will not be published in the conference proceedings, but will be distributed in a paper based conference supplement at the GROUP conference for the attendees only. Therefore, submitters will be free to seek formal publication of a draft journal submission that appears as a WiP at GROUP. The WP review process will be *lightweight*, without any revisions asked to the authors, to expand the GROUP community and discussions. Please send submissions directly to co-chairs at workingpapers(a)group2016.org. The submissions can be article drafts, or summaries of the articles in progress.
