LAST CALL: Digital media and visual ethics, American Anthropological Association conference, Washington, DC
by Sara Perry 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

A final reminder about the call for contributions below for an in-person and online event on visual ethics to be held in conjunction with the American Anthropological Association conference in Washington, 3-7 December 2014. Contact Sara Perry, sara.perry(a)york.ac.uk <mailto:sara.perry@york.ac.uk> , for more details. Deadline for proposals: 5 April 2014. DIGITAL MEDIA AND THE PRODUCTION OF ANTHROPOLOGY: A DISCUSSION ON VISUAL ETHICS Organizers: Sara Perry, Terry Wright & Jonathan Marion More than ten years ago Gross, Katz and Ruby published Image Ethics in the Digital Age, a pioneering volume whose topical concerns privacy, authenticity, control, access and exposure, as related to the application of visual media are arguably just as salient today, if not more so, than in 2003. The ethical dimensions of image use within digital cultures are necessarily fluid and complex, driven by practical needs, institutional frameworks, related regulatory requirements, specific research and intellectual circumstances, not to mention individual and collective moral tenets. The nature of visuality itself has also been extended via digital technologies, therein further complicating our interactions with and applications of visual media. Ethical practice here, then, tends to be necessarily situated, depending upon recursive reflection and constant questioning of one¹s research processes, objectives and modes of engagement. This session aims simultaneously to expose practitioners to, and build a resource base of, visual ethics in action¹ in digital contexts. It relies upon two streams: (1)an online forum hosted on the Society for Visual Anthropology¹s webpages where, prior to the AAA meetings, contributors will submit short descriptions of the ethical dimensions of their in-progress or recently-completed visual/digital research. These will provide fodder for more extensive debate in: (2)an open, live-streamed presentation and discussion session at the AAA meetings in Washington, DC in December where various contributors to the blog will present either on-site or via Google Hangouts, and contribute in real time to reflections/direct commentary on the online forum itself. The former will provide a stable space within which ethical debates can be added to and developed in the lead up to, during, and after the 2014 meetings. The latter offers a concentrated opportunity to channel the collective wisdom of participants (both at the meetings and online) into the negotiation and rethinking of ethical visual practice in the digital world. Deadline: For those interested in participating, please provide a brief description (max. 150 words) of the particular scenario or issue you wish to contribute to the session as soon as possible, and by 5 April 2014 at the latest. You will also need to indicate whether you plan on presenting in person or via Google Hangout at the AAA meetings in December. Decisions will be made by 10 April, and contributors will need to register for the conference via the AAA¹s web-based system by 15 April. All correspondence should be sent to Sara Perry <sara.perry(a)york.ac.uk>. The session will take the form of a series of brief, 10-minute presentations by participants, culminating in an extended period of group discussion and debate. Contributors will be expected to submit content for the webpages by the beginning of September 2014.

Cultural and Ethical Challenges in digital/social media (HICSS-48)
by Robert Mason 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Of interest to those researching cultural and ethical aspects of information and knowledge work: This mini-track at HICSS (January 2015; papers due June 15, and we welcome reviewers) addresses a broadening range of social and ethical issues that are associated with the affordances of digital and social media. Papers are due June 15. We welcome both conceptual/theoretical and empirical papers (including case studies). Conceptual papers would address foundational concepts of ethical conduct and social changes in periods of rapid change. For example, we would welcome papers that explore new metaphors for thinking about information exchange in communities and societies. Empirical papers would draw on studies of digital and social media data or present case studies that illustrate the social and ethical dimensions of the use or dissemination of such data, including "big social data." See the full call for papers here: http://bit.ly/1my805g For feedback on ideas and abstracts, contact the chairs: rmmason(a)uw.edu<mailto:rmmason@uw.edu> and dpford(a)mun.ca<mailto:dpford@mun.ca> .

CFP: InVisible Culture, Issue 22: "Opacity" (DEADLINE: MAY 1, 2014)
by Anderson, Joel Neville 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Dear Air-L subscribers, Only one month remains before the deadline for InVisible Culture: An Electronic Journal for Visual Culture’s latest CFP, on the theme of “Opacity.” Please circulate widely (pasted and linked below). Deadline May 1, 2014. Many thanks. Best regards, Joel Neville Anderson Managing Editor InVisible Culture 503A Morey Hall University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/cfp-invisible-culture-issue-22-opacity “Opacity” - Issue 22 For its twenty-second issue, InVisible Culture: An Electronic Journal for Visual Culture invites scholarly articles and creative works that address the multiple meanings of opacity. In the spring of 2013, former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden began releasing documents pertaining to the wide-ranging data collection methods of the National Security Agency. Alternately hailed as hero and traitor, Snowden’s actions have fueled intense public debate regarding issues of privacy and transparency. For Issue 22, we would like contributors to consider the tension between transparency and opacity and reflect on the cultural and political contexts that gave rise to their connotations of openness and secrecy. What does it mean to claim either as a right? The late writer, poet, and critic Édouard Glissant (1928-2011) developed a model of opacity as a means of creating ethical relationships, writing in Poetics of Relation, “Transparency no longer seems like the bottom of the mirror in which Western humanity reflected the world in its own image. There is opacity now at the bottom of the mirror, a whole alluvium deposited by populations.” How could opacity be used as a tool of resistance? What stakes are involved in the revelation or obscuring of artworks’ racial, cultural, or gendered origins? How might we imagine opacity to be useful or limiting to the work of visual culture? We also seek to address optical properties of opacity more broadly as a conceptual tool for approaching medium specificity, innovations in color theory, and other subjects. Does our understanding of opacity shift in regard to digital technologies as it may between cultural spheres and political territories? How might visual culture be invested in the theoretical and physical properties of opacity and transparency? We welcome papers and artworks that further the various understandings of opacity. Possible topics of exploration include, but are not limited to: * Aesthetic and political dimensions of transparency and opacity * Identity politics, “the right to opacity” * Privacy and visibility, surveillance * The “transparent society” and digital panopticism * Scientific and medical visualization, the body, big data * Opacity of architectural traditions * Liminal spaces, borders, zones of conflict * Transparency and globalization, geopolitics * Emerging, established, and decaying democracies * Politics of clothing, fabric, screens, interstitial space and material * Camera obscura/lucida, properties of darkness and light, color, pigmentation * Transparency and opacity in the plastic arts (painting, film, sculpture) * Penetration and resistance Please send completed papers (with references following the guidelines from the Chicago Manual of Style) of between 4,000 and 10,000 words to ivc[dot]rochester[at]gmail[dot]com by May 1, 2014. Inquiries should be sent to the same address. Creative/Artistic Works In addition to written materials, InVisible Culture is accepting work in other media (video, photography, drawing, code) that reflect upon the theme as it is outlined above. For questions or more details concerning acceptable formats, go to http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/contribute<http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/contribute/> or contact ivc[dot]rochester[at]gmail[dot]com. Reviews InVisible Culture is also currently seeking submissions for book, exhibition, and film reviews (600-1,000 words). To submit a review proposal, go to http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/contribute<http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/contribute/> or contact ivc[dot]rochester[at]gmail[dot]com. Blog The journal also invites submissions to its blog feature, which will accommodate more immediate responses to the topic of the current issue. For further details, please contact us at ivc[dot]rochester[at]gmail[dot]com with the subject heading “blog submission.” * InVisible Culture: An Electronic Journal for Visual Culture (IVC) is a student run interdisciplinary journal published online twice a year in an open access format. Through peer reviewed articles, creative works, and reviews of books, films, and exhibitions, our issues explore changing themes in visual culture. Fostering a global and current dialog across fields, IVC investigates the power and limits of vision.

ESRC DTC Collaborative Studentship - Dashboard Interfaces CENTRE FOR INTERDISCPLINARY METHODOLOGIES (CIM) and INTEL (USA): The Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at The University of Warwick is pleased to announce a new 3-year ESRC Doctoral Collaborative Studentship, on the topic of Dashboard Interfaces. The primary objective of the Studentship is to investigate the function and use of Dashboard Interfaces by individuals and organisations. Such interfaces bring together a range of data flows and visualisations into one or multiple screens for the purpose of monitoring and decision-making. Dashboard interfaces are a site from which to examine the changing role of software in organisations; the relationship between visualisation and control; the social life of metrics and numbers; the nature of the screen interface; and transformations in organisational and individual monitoring and decision-making, among other things. Dr Nathaniel Tkacz (CIM) will act as the primary supervisor for the successful applicant. The collaborating organisation is Intel and the successful candidate will spend a portion of the candidature at Intel's main office in Portland, USA, where they will have the opportunity to work with social science researchers. Outcomes: The main output of the research will be a PhD dissertation, but the successful candidate will also be encouraged to write academic journal articles as well as disseminate the project's findings through other outreach activities to relevant stakeholders and wider publics. Eligibility: We welcome applicants from a range of disciplinary backgrounds with relevant qualifications (at least a 2:i Honours degree or equivalent in a relevant subject), with preference given to students with a relevant Masters degree. The competition is open to Home/EU candidates; full details on eligibility are available from the ESRC ( http://www.esrc.ac.uk/funding-and-guidance/postgraduates/prospective-studen…) and should be consulted before applying. Only candidates who also hold an offer for a place of study on the PhD programme at the University of Warwick (CIM) will be considered. Please note that you must apply to the PhD programme via the University application system before you submit your DTC application. more info: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/study/esrcdtcstudentshipdash/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nathaniel Tkacz - Assistant Professor | CIM - The University of Warwick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Research: CIM <http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/people/tkacz/> | Twitter: @__nate__ <https://twitter.com/__nate__> | Current Project: MoneyLab <http://networkcultures.org/moneylab/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
