ACGS Conference: Where Are We Now? Temporalities of Globalisation

Globalisation Research Priority Area Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser <http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f50b474ee068e000673cd91df&id=faa0239a2e…>. Third Annual ACGS Conference *Where Are We Now? Temporalities of Globalisation* *Amsterdam, 15-16 December 2016* Confirmed speakers: Amy Allen (Pennsylvania State University), Louise Amoore (Durham University), Rolando Vazquez (Utrecht University) Globalisation is often seen as a single process, unfolding in a single timeframe that serves as a universal measure. This synchronic, or perhaps better still, monochronic conception of globalisation’s temporality creates problematic distinctions between the ‘contemporary’ and the ‘archaic’, between the ‘modern’ and the ‘traditional’ and between globalisation’s GMT and cultures, subjects and areas that are seen to remain out of time. Such a vision of the temporality of globalisation, and its underlying 'denial of coevalness' (Johannes Fabian), entails a perpetuation of the dominant narrative of modernisation and modernity as progress and temporal advance, as the integration (or lack thereof) in the universalising timeframe of the contemporary (Amy Allen). Today, we witness many cultural practices that challenge, refute or problematise this narrative: from new forms of cultural translation (including a validation of the untranslatable) and the proliferation of decolonial altermodernities to the emergence of Euro-American populist nostalgia; from accelerationism and hyper-temporalities (such as that of climate change), to renewed appraisals of slowness and reflection on the end of temporality (Fredric Jameson). The 2016 Amsterdam Centre for Globalisation Studies conference highlights the urgency to reconsider globalisation from the perspective of today’s multiple temporalities. We want to explore new conceptualisations of the multiple, differentiated temporalities of globalisation. What if still dominant representations of globalisation as an unfolding process – an agent of sorts that is alternatively embraced, resisted, missed out on; that homogenises or pluralises – are simply inadequate to grasp what we refer to as globalisation today? We call for contributions that investigate globalisation as the simultaneity of different and radically divergent temporalities. Emerging decolonial temporalities (Walter Mignolo), Euro-American populist withdrawal, re-emerging imperialisms (U.S., Europe, Russia, Middle East, China), the project of de-imperialisation, de-Cold War and de-colonisation (Chen Kuan-Hsing), 24/7 neo-capitalism (Jonathan Crary), the hyper-temporality of climate change, imperial ruination (Ann Laura Stoler), the exclusion of states and regions (i.e. Africa, Greece) from the rhythms of neoliberal capitalism (Maurizio Lazzarato), high-speed financial trading, revelations of global economic warfare, aging workforces (Europe, Japan): all these examples demonstrate that globalisation, in its present, singular tense, no longer covers our fractured and multi-temporal present. We invite theoretical and empirical interventions to analyse the ways in which globalisation’s manifold temporalities – and their problematization – appear in the socio-‐ cultural realm: from decolonial cinema and novels flaunting their untranslatability to the way news and social media ‘chase’ each other; from the use of extreme duration in theatre and contemporary art and the fashionability of yoga classes and mindfulness to the global boom in plastic surgery and expressions of imperial nostalgia; from the seeming endlessness of crisis to regressive and progressive attempts to find a 'way out of here'. The 2016 ACGS conference welcomes papers that explore the complexity and radical heterogeneity of today’s planetary temporalities. Possible topics include: - decolonial temporalities - cultural translation and untranslatability - out-of-timeness and 'backward' peripheries within globalised economic spheres (i.e. the Greek crisis, North Korea, Belarus) - differences between and intersections of urban/rural temporalities - chronotopias, from the Western metropolitan yearning for ‘slowness’ to dreams of fully automated market transactions - affective temporalities, i.e. burn-out, exhaustion, YOLO/FOLO, things-to-do-before-you-‐die/bucket lists - ecology: the hyper-temporality of climate change - the temporal dimensions of neo-imperialisms, for example the Ukraine crisis, Euro‐American interference in the Middle East - debris of empire, imperial ruinations - cycles and crisis: social, financial, personal - discourses of contemporaneity, i.e. the managerial/neoliberal rhetoric of ‘this is no longer of today’ - utopias of timelessness, i.e. the Islamic State, populism, communism - theories and representations of end times, i.e. biological extinction, the end of capitalism, the end of the welfare state, eschatological imaginaries in popular culture - temporalities of precarity (flexibility, just-in-time, absent futures) - the withering away of ‘the future’ as universal telos in culture and theory - entropy in culture, economy and ecology - temporalities of security (pre-emption and precaution) - uneven development and creative destruction - homogenisation of time as effect and condition of the logic of capital Please submit an abstract (200-300 words) and short bio (max. 100 words) by 1 May 2015 to acgs-fgw(a)uva.nl. Notice of acceptance will be given by 15 June 2015. Conference fee: 50 Euros (25 Euros for PhD students). Conference dinner: 25 Euros.

ICA Blue Sky Workshop Social Media and Mobile Media as Survey Research Tools Time: June 13 Monday 9:30-10:45 a.m. Hilton Hotel, Fukuoka Organizer: Louisa Ha, Bowling Green State University, USA louisah(a)bgsu.edu Social Media and Mobile Media are penetrating into almost everyone’s daily lives and have become important media for survey research dissemination and data collection. However, not many academic researchers received training on this or know how to utilize these media creatively to conduct their survey research to maximize response rate and response quality. Methodological rigor affect data quality and validity. This workshop provides opportunity for fellow survey researchers both in the industry and in academe to share their experience and develop roadmaps on how to establish best practices for using these media for survey research. Participants should have experience in using mobile media and social media in collecting survey/experiment data or at least large scale survey research experience. Each participant will share their experience on using mobile media and social media in collecting survey/experiment data, comparing the effectiveness of using these media vs. traditional surveys and innovative use of these media. Several experts on this topic are invited to join the workshop so that they can share their experience and tips on using these media for survey data collection. The ultimate goal of this session to facilitate the exchange of experience in using these media for collecting survey data to improve data quality and response rate of communication survey research in an age of social and mobile media. We plan to ask the participants to prepare a written handout for their report and compile them online for others to use.

1st CFP: Values, Power, and Politics in Digital Infrastructures
by Jaime Snyder 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

The 50th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-50) Minitrack: Values, Power, and Politics in Digital Infrastructures http://www.hicss.org/#!values-power-and-politics-in-digital-i/c19uj This minitrack will explore the themes of values, power, and politics in relation to the infrastructures that support digital data, documents, and interactions. By considering how infrastructures – the underlying material properties, policy decisions, and mechanisms of interoperability that support digital platforms – are designed, maintained, and dismantled, the work presented in this mini-track will contribute to debates about sociotechnical aspects of digital and social media, with a focus on data, knowledge production, and information access. This session will focus on research that employs techniques such as infrastructural inversion, trace ethnography or design research (among other methods) to explore factors that influence the development of infrastructures and their use in practice. We welcome papers considering topics such as (but not limited to): * Politics and ethics in digital platforms and infrastructures * Values of stakeholders in digital infrastructures * Materiality of values, power, or politics in digital infrastructures * Tensions between commercial infrastructures and the needs of communities of practice * Maintenance, repair, deletion, decay of digital and social media infrastructures * Resistance, adoption and adaptation of digital infrastructures * Alternative perspectives on what comprises infrastructures Deadline: June 15 Please see the HICSS website for submission details: http://www.hicss.org/#!author-instructions/c1dsb Minitrack Co-Chairs: Katie Shilton University of Maryland, College Park kshilton(a)umd.edu<mailto:kshilton@umd.edu> Jaime Snyder University of Washington, Seattle jas1208(a)uw.edu<mailto:jas1208@uw.edu> Matthew J.

New Book Announcement
by DAL JIN 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

Please share with other AOIR members: New Korean Wave: Transnational Cultural Power in the Age of Social Media By Dal Yong Jin (Simon Fraser University) University of Illinois Press, 2016 http://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/86ftm7bg9780252039973.html The 2012 smash “Gangnam Style” by the Seoul-born rapper Psy capped the triumph of Hallyu, the Korean Wave of music, film, and other cultural forms that have become a worldwide sensation. Dal Yong Jin analyzes the social and technological trends that transformed Hallyu from a mostly regional interest aimed at families into a global powerhouse geared toward tech-crazy youth. Blending analysis with insights from fans and industry insiders, Jin shows how Hallyu exploited a media landscape and dramatically changed with the 2008 emergence of smartphones and social media, designating this new Korean Wave as Hallyu 2.0. Hands-on government support, meanwhile, focused on creative industries as a significant part of the economy and turned intellectual property rights into a significant revenue source. Jin also delves into less-studied forms like animation and online games, the significance of social meaning in the development of local Korean popular culture, and the political economy of Korean popular culture and digital technologies in a global context. A first-of-its-kind treatment, New Korean Wave maps how a convergence of technology, leadership, and avid fandom unleashed a cultural tsunami. A fascinating story of how Korean cultural industry grew from being a relatively overlooked sector to becoming a global success story, analyzing the social and technological mechanism that enabled this sector's growth and its relations with the state. This book is an outstanding contribution to the scholarship on the New Korean Wave.--Nissim Otmazgin In recent years, the Korean wave, Hallyu, has emerged as a major Asian presence on the media globe but its political economy has largely been ignored. Dal Yong Jin's excellent study fills this gap in international scholarship: highly recommended.--Daya Thussu Much has been written in recent years about the Korean Wave, or Hallyu. But what has often been missing is the capacity to situate this wave in the wider context of political economy, cultural policy, and global media flows. Dal Yong Jin's book marks an admirable survey of the phenomenon from this critical institutional perspective, and will become the defining text for understanding the political economy of the New Korean Wave.--Terry Flew Dal Yong Jin is Associate Professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University, Canada (djin(a)sfu.ca)
