03 Jan '10

Forwarding on behalf of a colleague... and sending my own best wishes to all for the new year... Steve Begin forwarded message: > _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ > CANADIAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES > > CALL FOR PAPERS > > 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of the publication of Jean-François Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge. “[I}t is common knowledge,” he wrote, “that the miniaturization and commercialization of machines is already changing the way learning is acquired, classified, made available, and exploited” (1984, org. 1979: 4). In 2010, “Connected Understanding” will be the theme of the Congress of Social Sciences and Humanities in Montreal (http://www.congress2010.ca/) The Canadian Journal of Media Studies announces a special issue on Media, Knowledge and the Network University edited by Bob Hanke, York University, and David Spencer, University of Western Ontario. > > The massification and informationalization of the university has transformed not only the content of teaching and research but also disciplinary processes of knowledge production and the technological form of academic life and culture. The integration and normalization of ICT's raises many questions about the university, academic labour, scholarly communication and collaboration, and academic technoculture. In 1957, Marshall McLuhan invited us to reconsider the education process by announcing that, with the advent of television, the “classroom without walls” had arrived. A half a century later, we are working in the university without walls and the ICT “revolution” is over. In “Universities, wet, hard, and harder,” German media theorist Friedrich Kittler reviewed 800 years of university-based media history to observe that “universities have finally succeeded in forming once again a complete media system.” Yet media scholars have rarely chosen to study their own universities as media systems. This special issue of the CJMS is an invitation to reflexive, critical media studies. Established and emerging scholars are invited to address continuities and transformations in new media and the network university and to set the agenda for future study and debate. > > Possible questions and areas of research and critical inquiry include: > > What is unthought, unrepresented and unquestioned in discussions of the public university and the ‘neoliberal turn,’ technologically-mediated post-secondary education, and institutional initiatives in the virtualization of the educational process? > > What is the impact of the cybernation of the university? What is happening in information technology (IT) infrastructure, planning and governance? What IT strategies are pursued by specific institutions in different jurisdictions? What is the role of IT professionals as intermediaries between IT industries, intermediating organizations, private-sector partners and the university? What is the faculty experience of ICTs, and IT “solutions,” services, and support? > > What are the networks of possibility and affordances of technology, and what are the obstacles and limits? the unintended, unanticipated consequences? > > What hybrid methodologies, research techniques and software enhance our capacity to map the wireless campus and network condition of the university? > > What philosophers of technology and politics are relevant to sharpening our thinking on the question of technology? What scholarly perspectives on invention, innovation and the process of emergence enable us to break the habit of instrumentalist thinking and discard the “tool” metaphor? How can we take technical artifacts, from small, portable technology to entire campus networks, out of their “black boxes” in order to study them? How does the technical substrate matter to our thinking? Our reading and writing of “texts”? Our notions of “research”? > > How is the university embedded in the network society and cognitive capitalism? What are the drivers of IT change in universities? What are the consequences of the disjuncture between the digital culture and practices outside the university and IT (planning, procurement/evaluation/implementation, support and services) inside universities? > > How can we move beyond user-centric approaches to Web 2.0 based software applications and learning management systems, peer-to-peer networks, and small tech in academic settings? In the new network culture, how can we grasp the relations between what is “given” and what is unlikely, surprising, unexpected and unrealized? > > How can we move beyond debates over “student centered” learning and faculty deskilling to new models of reskilling and organized research networks, technological literacy and technologies of the common? How can we articulate scholarly “collaboration” and student “engagement” with a politics of knowledge (commodified knowledge, open scholarship and knowledge within the social sciences and humanities, popular knowledge, indigenous knowledge, etc.) that will strengthen the public mission of the university after the recession? How can we turn away from the “knowledge economy” and towards knowledge cultures? What does the prototype of the Canadian Institute for Health Research’s Knowledge Broker Model portend for the social sciences and humanities? > > We also invite investigations of: > > • computerization, campus networking strategies, and ICT-related organizational change since the advent of distributed computing, the Internet and the WWW > • space, time, speed and rhythm in the network university > • the production and operativity of networks and archives, scholarly journals and portals, web-based learning environments and objects, research cyberinfrastructure, critical cyberpedagogy, technological literacy, copyright/left, intellectual property rights > • open access movement, open access research, open educational resources, open courseware, institutional repositories, ‘Do it Yourself’ education or edupunk > • tropes of factory, ecology, network, mobility, common > • articulations and destabilizations of oral/written, actual/virtual, bureaucratic records/institutional memory, off-line/on line, knowledge creation/information sharing, formal learning on campus/informal learning off campus, amateur/professional, artist/researcher > • ideology of convenience, ethos of performativity, the promotional condition, immaterial academic labour, general intellect, circuits of knowledge and struggle > • technological “progress,”“knowledge economy,” knowledge “transfer” or “mobilization,” creativity, innovation, academic freedom, academic capitalism > • the coming network university, knowledge futures, ecoethical perspectives on the university’s inputs and outputs and the discourse of “sustainability” > > Since intellectual innovation may be engendered at the intersections of disciplines, contributions are welcome from outside of Communication and traditions and trajectories of media studies outside of Canada. Solo or collaborative work that provides a comparative, international perspective on the network university in different countries is especially welcome. > > Submission Guidelines > > Authors should submit papers of about 25 pages (or 8000 words) in MLA style with abstract and keywords electronically to David Spencer, Editor, dspencer(a)uwo.ca.

CFP: Book Collection: Identity Technologies: producing online selves ?Deadline: June 15, 2010
by Poletti, Anna 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

CALL FOR PAPERS? Book Collection: Identity Technologies: producing online selves ? Deadline: June 15, 2010 The popularity of social networking sites, user-generated content, wireless technologies and games has engendered a rapid proliferation of identities and ways to imagine, produce and consume them. As a result, the internet has become central to how many of its users understand intimacy, communication and community. We contend that this phenomenon is nothing new. Online and offline forms of identity have the potential to act genealogically, challenging our ideas about utopian approaches to the internet as a place without history, bodies or politics. How then can we understand what identity means online and why it is so important to so many internet users that they have a digital existence? For us, answers to this question do not have to take the form of utopian ideas about internet identities, time and space, but should admit that issues about internet identity are inevitably embedded in concerns about the production of discourse and about the material conditions of internet access, surveillance and use. In this essay collection, we hope to gather together investigations into a whole host of questions raised by the popularity and power of identity technologies. What kinds of selves are generated online? How do memory and narrative, key elements of autobiography, exist and persist in various forms of online subjectivity? How is identity related to virtual time and space? How do we account for the role of recreation and entertainment in communicating an online self? How do we describe and analyze the relationship between hardware and software design and the identities they occasion and transmit? Is it possible to resist the hail of ITs (internet technologies)? What is the relationship between identity politics and ITs? We aim to bring together emerging ideas about identity and online life from the fields of cultural studies, new media studies and auto/biography studies in order to explore what online identity is and what it might mean. Please submit a completed essay by June 15, 2010. Essays must be 4000-6000 words in Chicago B style with 12-point font. Essays must be written in English, but they do not have to be about the anglophone, western version of the internet. The collection will be published in digital and paper form with a university press.??We welcome submissions which include--but are not limited to--the following topics:? theorizing online identity questions of pedagogy research methods youth cultures and emerging identities social networking virtual lives online desires collaboration biography and technology work shopping hardware and software publicity and privacy regulation identity theft personal video cyberbodies and cyberspaces avatars internet surveillance archives viruses and "going viral" deception and authenticity activism Send one copy each of your submission as an electronic attachment to: Anna Poletti, Charles Sturt University <apoletti(a)csu.edu.au> Julie Rak, University of Alberta <julie.rak(a)ualberta.ca> Dr. Anna Poletti Lecturer in English School of Humanities & Social Sciences Charles Sturt University Locked Bag 678 Wagga Wagga NSW 2678 e: apoletti(a)csu.edu.au ph: + 61 2 6933 2478 fax: +61 2 6933 2792

request: suggestions theories applied to Internet research
by Ronald E. Rice 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hi folks... I'd be very grateful for any suggestions as to your favorite or most useful theory applied to studying social aspects of the Internet, especially adaptions of existing theories (e.g., diffusion, adaptive structuration, uses & gratifications, SIDE, etc.) or new theoretical approaches (Walther's SIP, media genres) developed since the rise of the Internet. If you could provide a complete reference, and possibly a link to a central document (and if you wish to be excessive, also a statement as to why you think it's a good addition), I will, as we all do, provide a summary back to the list. Please send your suggestions to my email, not the list. Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year! ======================================================= Ronald E. Rice Arthur N.

by Ulf-Dietrich Reips 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Dear colleagues: we are looking for a Post-doc, see below. Please spread the word. Happy holidays, Ulf ********* The Universidad de Deusto, Bilbao, Spain is accepting applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow position for two years, beginning March 1, 2010. The successful candidate will work with the IKERBASQUE research professorship "Internet Science and Cognition of Causality" associated with the LabPsico research group. Our mission is twofold: (1) to develop methodologies and technologies for Internet-based research and understand the psychology of the Internet and (2) research cognitive processes underlying causal induction and learning. We are interested in candidates whose research is approached using theories from cognitive science or judgment and decision making. An ideal candidate combines knowledge and experience from Experimental Psychology, Methodology, and Computer Science. Possible areas of interest include cognition, learning, categorization, measurement, social cognition, (Web-)experimental design, survey research, prediction markets, design and programming of Web applications, social Web sites, and usability. Main languages spoken in the laboratory are Spanish and English, depending on the changing structure of the international team the communication may also be possible in other languages (currently German, Dutch, French). The successful candidate will be encouraged to conduct cooperative and independent research with an emphasis on study inception, manuscript writing, and applying for grants. The Post-Doctoral Research Fellow is offered a salary of 30'000 EURO/year (the upper end of post-doc salaries in Spain). Foreigners will receive the special low tax status for foreign researchers. Additional benefits include a moving allowance of 2'500 EURO, 2'000 EURO/year for personal travel for international post-docs, access to lab facilities and other infrastructure, and university funds for other costs (congresses, training...). Health care is free in Spain, and due to recent developments in the housing sector there is an abundance of wonderful places available (sea view...). The University of Deusto and IKERBASQUE (the Basque Foundation of Science) are devoted to developing a strong standing in internationally competitive research, thus providing an excellent environment for creative and productive scientists. The location: "Bilbao is a city to dream about - vital, vibrant and culturally dynamic, yet somehow stress-free and, above all, civilised in the true sense of that overused word. ... Today, Bilbao throngs with sophisticated yet earthy locals, its cuisine is positively lip-smacking, there's nonstop partying if you want to burn out in style, and a rich Basque culture more than matches the internationalism of the Guggenheim." (Lonely Planet) Candidates are asked to submit a letter of research interests, reprints/preprints, CV, and three letters of recommendation. All requirements of the PhD degree must be completed before the Post-Doctoral Research Fellow appointment can begin. First consideration will be given to candidates whose complete applications are received by January 15, 2010, but we will accept applications until the position is filled.

IBM patents LOL and IMO
by live 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

No, really. IBM was just given a patent for cultural shorthand notations such as LOL? "These factors have fostered the evolution of shorthand notation, wherein users abbreviate words and phrases to communicate using fewer keystrokes. For example, typing abbreviations like LOL ("laughing out loud") and IMO ("in my opinion") shorten the number of characters required in messages and expedite the communication process. However, as with any nonverbal communication, the effectiveness of text communication is often limited. The use of shorthand in conversational writing can make it difficult for people to understand one another. A complicating factor is that individual users commonly develop their own jargon, so that the shorthand notation of one user does not always agree with shorthand notation of another user." "The present invention provides a method of electronic communication and a machine-accessible medium containing instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform the method. The method comprises receiving a text communication from a sender, selecting a target term from the text communication, searching a plurality of databases for one or more alternative terms for the target term; and selectively displaying one or more of the alternative terms. The plurality of databases may include, without limitation, one or more of a sender database, a recipient database, a service provider database, and a public database. Typically, the target term is a shorthand term, and the one or more alternative terms include one or more longhand terms defined with respect to the shorthand term. Optionally, the text communication may be displayed with one of the alternative terms substituted for the target term. In a further option, the alternative terms may be displayed along with a name of the database in which each of the alternative terms was found." http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=… in case that url breaks, here it is in a short url: http://bit.ly/53J56s ------------------------- Sharon Greenfield Marylhurst University http://www.sharoncountry.com @SharonG

More BETA Testers Sought for PCAT
by Stuart Shulman 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

We are seeking hundreds of new BETA testers to load test the Public Comment Analysis Toolkit: http://pcat.qdap.net 200+ users have joined the system since October 30th. Why would you try PCAT? http://pcat-help.qdap.net/doku.php?id=why_would_i_use_this_system It also works well for categorizing blog posts and other text datasets. Five sample PCAT-ready blog post datasets are available at: http://www.umass.edu/qdap/data.html I think you will find the search, peer, credential, memo and coding nexus in this software enables unique research opportunities. PCAT also carries internal measurement tools for inter-rater reliability and adjudication of coding decisions or pre-tests. It is a uniquely useful research tool if you have large digital text datasets. Best of all, PCAT is a free, Web-based platform that enables collaboration across space and time. ~Stu -- Dr. Stuart W.

CFP: The Computational Turn (with website)
by David M. Berry 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

CFP: The Computational Turn http://www.thecomputationalturn.com/ SWANSEA UNIVERSITY 9TH MARCH 2010 Keynote: N. Katherine Hayles (Professor of Literature at Duke University). Keynote: Lev Manovich (Professor, Visual Arts Department, UCSD). The application of new computational techniques and visualisation technologies in the Arts & Humanities are resulting in new approaches and methodologies for the study of traditional and new corpuses of Arts and Humanities materials. This new 'computational turn' takes the methods and techniques from computer science to create new ways of distant and close readings of texts (e.g. Moretti). This one-day workshop aims to discuss the implications and applications of what Lev Manovich has called 'Cultural Analytics' and the question of finding patterns using algorthmic techniques. Some of the most startling approaches transform understandings of texts by use of network analysis (e.g. graph theory), database/XML encodings (which flatten structures), or merely provide new quantitative techniques for looking at various media forms, such as media and film, and (re)presenting them visually, aurally or haptically. Within this field there are important debates about the contrast between narrative against database techniques, pattern-matching versus hermeneutic reading, and the statistical paradigm (using a sample) versus the data mining paradigm. Additionally, new forms of collaboration within the Arts and Humanities are emerging which use team-based approaches as opposed to the traditional lone-scholar. This requires the ability to create and manage modular Arts and Humanities research teams through the organisational structures provided by technology and digital communications (e.g. Big Humanities), together with techniques for collaborating in an interdisciplinary way with other disciplines such as computer science (e.g. hard interdisciplinarity versus soft interdisciplinarity). Papers are encouraged in the following areas: - Distant versus Close Reading - Database Structure versus Argument - Data mining/Text mining/Patterns - Pattern as a new epistemological object - Hermeneutics and the Data Stream - Geospatial techniques - Big Humanities - Digital Humanities versus Traditional Humanities - Tool Building - Free Culture/Open Source Arts and Humanities - Collaboration, Assemblages and Alliances - Language and Code (software studies) - Information visualization in the Humanities - Philosophical and theoretical reflections on the computational turn + Participation Requirements + Workshop participants are requested to submit a position paper (approx. 2000-5000 words) about the computational turn in Arts and Humanities, philosophical/theoretical reflections on the computational turn, research focus or research questions related to computational approaches, proposals for academic practice with algorithmic/ visualisation techniques, proposals for new research methods with regard to Arts and Humanities or specific case studies (if applicable) and findings to date. Position papers will be published in a workshop PDF and website for discussion and some of the participants will be invited to present their paper at the workshop. Deadline for Position papers: February 10, 2010 Submit papers to: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tct2010 Workshop funded by The Callaghan Centre for the Study of Conflict, Power, Empire, Swansea University.
