Hi Brian, Apparently my paper as part of the Navigating Gender panel was not reviewed - "Not Sleeping with the Band: Female Fandom Online". In addition, after being sent my own individual paper to review I have not heard anything further about it - "Pathways: mapping and negotiating downloaded music collections" Can you let me know where I stand? Regards, Marj Dr Marjorie Kibby, Senior Lecturer in Communication & Culture Faculty of Education and Arts The University of Newcastle, Callaghan NSW 2308 Australia Marj.Kibby(a)newcastle.edu.au +61 2 49216604 >>> <bl506(a)york.ac.uk> 04/05/08 6:53 PM >>> Well just about everyone should have received a decision by now on their proposal(s) for IR 9.0. There are a few outstanding which I have been assured will be completed this weekend. So anyone who has not heard anything by Monday, and believes that they submitted something, should contact me directly. I'm walking in the English Lakes (a smart trick I think you will agree!)for a couple of days and out of email contact so please get in touch on Monday. A big thanks again to all the reviewers and especially the Track Directors who have given so much time to this process. The quality of the abstracts was excellent and we can look forward to a really good conference again this year. Brian -- Brian D.

Announcement: workshop on art, new media & the hybrid spaces new media provoke
by Niels Hendriks 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

Workshop on art, new media & the hybrid spaces new media provokes 06 + 07 May 2008 / @Z33, Hasselt, Belgium / Free, register at http://www.spacecowboys.be Our feeling of space and place changes and refreshes constantly through the interaction and communication possibilities of new media. Locations and environments may be altered from public to a private and from concrete to virtual through for example mobile online instant messaging tools, virtual worlds or online social networks. These hybrid spaces create emotional and aesthetic possibilities for artists to experiment with. How do artists work with hybrid space and how do they make us aware of the social and cultural implications? During two workshop days (06 + 07 May) we will think, talk and work around four thematic issues: local/global, private/public, narrative/creative visible/invisible. This workshop will be moderated by John Hopkins. Speakers & guests: Armin Medosh, Anne Nigten, Jeanne van Heeswijk, Eric Kluitenberg, Kurt Vanhoutte, Peter Westenberg, Maja Kuzmanovic and Pieter van Bogaert. Via their work, presentations, controversial proposition, they will trigger the conversation on the four workshop themes. In our workshop we will use The Cowboy methodology. This method asks for an active engagement of each participant starting from his/her own background and using a medium of choice. Keywords for the methodology are: openness, individual empowerment, transdisciplinarity, passion and engagement. The findings, conclusions, new questions and other output of this workshop will be brought together on the website www.spacecowboys.be and in a printed publication.
