CF Participant for NCA Panel on Information Politics
by Rysavy, Wayne Erik 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hello, My colleague, Bryan Behrenshausen, and I have organized a panel we plan to submit to the Media Ecology Division of the 2014 National Communication Associaion conference. We already have a confirmed chair/respondent and another participant, but are looking for one more person to join our panel. Below, I've included our rationale. We are particularly interested in bringing someone on who has interest in information politics and explores information and/or theories of information and information flow from a critical perspective employing critical theory, discursive analysis, and/or historiographic analysis. Interested participants should email me at wrysavy(a)email.unc.edu. Inquiries about the panel are also welcome. Rationale: A fiercely contested term, commodity, and palliative, "information" is neither static nor neutral; it is relational, contextual, and deeply implicated in power relations that traverse the personal, social, cultural, and economic. As an object purportedly central to many contemporary techniques and technologies, information participates in various processes of social organization that bear decidedly political aims. It positions people and things, and it generates contexts for the ongoing work of managing their relations. Information is material, yet ephemeral—an object to be "owned" and "managed," and yet indecipherable outside the particular political and economic relations that valorize it. In precise but shifting relation with "data" and "knowledge," information authorizes and mobilizes multiple—often fractured and contradictory—truth claims. Information's historic (re)articulations persist today, shaping the ways in which popular discourses of "information" make discussing, using, and interpreting it possible. Examining information and information technologies through critical theoretical, historiographic, and discursive analyses, this panel re-contextualizes information, tracks its role in everyday systems of meaning and power, and explores the way past discourses of information influence the way we conceptualize it in the present. Thank you for your interest.

Fwd: Launching InVisible Culture Issue 20: “Ecologies"
by iskandar zulkarnain 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Apologies for x-posting. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Anderson, Joel Neville <joel.neville.anderson(a)rochester.edu> Date: Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 1:41 PM Subject: Launching InVisible Culture Issue 20: “Ecologies" To: VCS-GRADS(a)lists.rochester.edu Dear all, I’m happy to announce that *InVisible Culture* has just launched Issue 20: “Ecologies” (Spring 2014): http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/current-issue We’ll be promoting this over the next few days, so please feel free to circulate via social media, listservs, and word of mouth. In addition, IVC is still accepting submissions to issue 22, “Opacity,” so please also circulate the CFP at the following link: http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/cfp-invisible-culture-issue-22-opacity Thanks! I’ve pasted the press release below. Best, Joel - *InVisible Culture: An Electronic Journal of Visual Culture* (IVC), published through the University of Rochester’s graduate program in Visual and Cultural Studies, is pleased to announce the launch of Issue 20: “Ecologies.” For this issue, we explored the "ecological" turn in contemporary visual culture. Furnishing an awareness of habitat, rooted in the Latin verb “it lives,” ecology refers to the dynamism of the natural world. But it also lends to an understanding of the dynamism of different kinds of environments, from the virtual to the visual. Authors Adam Levin, Roberta Buiani, Beatrice Choi and Hans Vermy contributed articles expanding upon these connotations, at the same time reshaping definitions of liveliness, agency, and subjectivity. Issue 20 also features three artworks by Cary Peppermint/Leila Nadir (EcoArtTech), Elçin Maraşlı, and Eddee Daniels that visualize and embody a spectrum of ecologies. Making use of IVC’s open access electronic format, these works take on several forms: artist interview, installation documentation, online book, and photo essay. 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. ------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the VCS-GRADS list, click the following link: https://lists.rochester.edu/scripts/wa.exe?TICKET=NzM1MzQxIGl6dWxrYXJuQE1BS… -- Iskandar Zulkarnain HASTAC Scholars 2010-2014 Website: http://www.hastac.org/hastac-scholars<http://www.hastac.org/scholars> http://digitalperipheries.net/ Rochester Intermedia Studies Group Ph.D. Candidate Visual and Cultural Studies 503A Morey Hall University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 "Ilmu itu untuk dibagi, bukan untuk dimiliki!"

CFP: Special Issue on Historic Design Cases-International Journal of Designs for Learning
by Noriko Hara 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

*CALL FOR PROPOSALS* *INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DESIGNS FOR LEARNING* *SPECIAL ISSUE ON HISTORIC DESIGN CASES* Guest Editors: Craig D. Howard & Colin M. Gray Unlike other design fields, instructional design has not had a sustained interest in documenting cases from the past and engaging in our design history in a substantive way. When we think of technology, we generally look forward---to what is possible in the future of technology in education, but it is equally as instructive to look at how far we have come and the individual designs that, as a collective, have impacted where we are now. Many of the same challenges we face in the ecology of modern technologies can be seen in technological leaps from instructional design's past: video-based instruction, systemic curricular moves (e.g., SRA Reading Lab, the "new math"), educational entertainment (e.g., Sesame Street, Bill Nye the Science Guy), and the dawn of the graphical user interface and personal computer (e.g., instruction for the Macintosh, developing for the PLATO system) to name a few. Many of these designs have directly and indirectly informed our contemporary design practice, and illustrate many of the challenges of designing for intentional change. In this special issue, we turn our focus to both the near and distant past of instructional design and technology, addressing designs intended (or used) for learning both in informal and formal learning---inside the classroom, and in our everyday lives. This special issue brings our field to the standard of precedent-building common in other design disciplines, refocusing our attention on marking significant milestones in design innovation, celebrating the often unrecognized breakthroughs instructional design and technology has had in its past. While some artifacts have been preserved, our collective knowledge of what instructional design is in the present has often been embodied in designs which themselves have been forgotten. To begin the process of documenting these past designs, we invite authors to submit design cases of designs used and/or intended for learning from 10-75 years ago, which are deemed to be of importance to the field. Some examples of appropriate historic designs might include: * *Designs that changed our understanding of what learning could be* (e.g., Airborne satellite learning, early collaborative websites, Sesame Street Workshop) * *Designs that highlighted the affordances of specific technologies when they were in their infancy* (e.g., PLATO system, remote teaching through closed circuit TV) * *Designs which failed, either in their initial implementation, or which failed to "catch on" *(e.g., computerized instruction in the 1990s, the "new math") * *Designs which serve as the basis for modern categories of educational technology* (e.g., learning management systems, SRA reading lab) * *Instructional components of mass-market devices* (e.g., training for emerging technological products, such as Apple's click-and-drag instruction) * *Designs created out of a specific felt need for a specific type of learning* (e.g., "murder houses," bespoke designs) *SUBMISSION TYPES* /Full Design Case/ 5000-7000+ words, with as many multimedia and/or visual elements as available. The goal of this submission is to not only visually and textually explain the experience of the design, but also how it came to be the way that it is. Depending on the age of the designed artifact or experience, this may come through interviews with designers, stakeholders, and/or users, analysis of related artifacts surrounding the design/design process, or reconstruction based on previously published marketing and/or academic materials. Your abstract should include the targeted design, its relevance, and any resources you will need to locate. /Brief Design Case/ 500-1500 words, a primarily visual presentation of a design with accompanying text used to annotate and explain the artifact and its experience as depicted in the images and/or video. Your abstract should include the targeted design, and any existing resources that you are aware of. *IMPORTANT DEADLINES* April 30, 2014: Submit 250 word abstract by email May 14, 2014: Acceptance of abstract: July 1, 2014: Submit Full paper/brief paper August 14, 2014: Notification of Acceptance September 14, 2014: Final Manuscripts November 2014: Projected Publication *ABOUT IJDL* The International Journal of Designs for Learning is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed online journal is dedicated to publishing descriptions of artifacts, environments and experiences created to promote and support learning in all contexts by designers in any field. The journal provides a venue for designers to share their knowledge-in-practice through rich representations of their designs and detailed discussion of decision-making. The aim of the journal is to support the production of high-quality precedent materials and to promote and demonstrate the value of doing so. Audiences for the journal include designers, teachers and students of design and scholars studying the practice of design. This journal is a publication of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology. More information on submissions for this special issue is available at: http://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/ijdl/announcement/view/68 Questions and abstract submissions may be directed to the guest editors: Dr. Craig D. Howard (craig.howard(a)tamut.edu <mailto:craig.howard@tamut.edu>) and Colin M. Gray (comgray(a)indiana.edu <mailto:comgray@indiana.edu>).
