Hi Nishant and Beate, I found your names on the list - you are both scheduled for presenting on Thursday. Maybe you have looked at a different week day when checking your names....this is what I did first and thought I wasn't on the list.

Draft of AoIR 8.0 conference schedule available
by Mia Consalvo 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi all, I have posted a draft of the conference schedule for AoIR 8.0 at http://wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=IR8_Program It's an excel file to download, but it isn't too large (83 kb) so there should be no problem in accessing it. The file contains the scheduling for panel sessions, paper sessions, and roundtables for October 17-20. I haven't included the keynotes, pre-conference information, or birds of feather or other sessions yet. You'll note that all sessions are 90 minutes long, with 4-5 presenters on average (except for roundtables). We are averaging 8-9 parallel sessions per time slot and we have what looks like an excellent lineup. I'll gush more later, but there are many, many sessions that I am excited about attending. If you are scheduled to present at aoir, please do the following asap: 1) read through the program to note your time/day(s) for presentation(s) 2) notify me if I have misspelled your paper/panel title and/or your name or the names of co-authors 3) notify me if I have double-booked you. I triple-checked for that, but I might have missed something. 4) REGISTER if you have not done so yet! :) I will be using this information, in conjunction with what you uploaded at the submission site, for creating the final program, so I want to be as accurate as possible. Thanks for your patience with this process!

Material Digital Culture/ECREA: European Perspectives CFP
by Kathleen O'Riordan 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

DIGITAL CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION (DCC) SECTION OF ECREA CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A WORKSHOP DIGITAL MEDIA: EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES? SUPPORTED BY THE CENTRE FOR MATERIAL DIGITAL CULTURE (SUSSEX) The aim of the workshop is to explore distinctive critical, theoretical and methodological perspectives around networked and pervasive media, especially those emerging in European research. AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX, BRIGHTON, UK; 1-3 NOVEMBER 2007 o Evening panel session and reception on Thursday 1st November o Full-day workshop on Friday 2nd o Concluding section meeting on Saturday 3rd This workshop is the first in a biannual conference/workshop series of ECREA's Digital Culture and Communication section. It will examine new approaches in the study of digital culture and communication within European contexts and to serve as a networking hub. CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: We are looking for papers that address questions around digital, networked and pervasive media in a European context. We especially welcome work that contrasts European perspectives and theories with other traditions. This does not mean that we restrict our focus to European policy, or wish to focus on European-specific issues to the exclusion of others. Instead, we welcome work across a range of approaches, work based on different methodologies, and work that is nationally based within Europe. Historical, critical and technological perspectives are all welcome. So, for example, we invite proposals that examine digital culture and communication in relation to: o issues in specific national traditions of thought, such as German medium theory, French post-structuralism, 'national' traditions of cultural studies o issues in European-wide traditions, such as post- and neo-Marxist socialism, post-autonomy, and network theories, or critical utopian/dystopian thinking o issues of specific techno-social experiences, such as communication networks, aesthetic, industry, and governance structures o issues of identity, activism and autonomy, such as race, nation, migration, gender/sexuality, trade, economy, and labour We invite proposals for papers on these topics and any other issues that might enable a critique of, as well as an exploration of issues, theories and approaches emerging in European research around digital media. Deadline for abstracts/proposals of 300 words: 1st September 2007 SUBMIT TO: Kate O'Riordan: k.oriordan(a)sussex.ac.uk and Maren Hartmann: hartmann(a)udk-berlin.de REGISTRATION: Fee £35, this includes lunch, coffee and a drinks reception. It does not include accommodation and travel costs. To register email: V.A.Sammut(a)sussex.ac.uk ECREA and the Section: ECREA is the European Communication Research and Education Association, and the main objectives of the digital culture and communication section are: o To exchange and develop research in the field of digital culture and communication through virtual and physical networking and other events o To revisit existing media and communication theories, approaches, and research methods as they are challenged by digital media, and to develop new ones o To contribute to building a research culture in the field of digital media and informational culture at the European level More information here: http://www.ecrea.eu/divisions/section/id/5 Caroline Bassett, University of Sussex, UK Maren Hartmann, University of the Arts Berlin, Germany Kate O'Riordan, University of Sussex, UK Dr Kate O'Riordan Department of Media and Film EDB University of Sussex Falmer Brighton UK BN1 9RG Tel: 00 44 (0) 1273 876730 http://www.sussex.ac.uk/mediastudies/profile30746.html

Re: [Air-l] online identity resources

23 Jul '07

>I'm researching online identity (specifically how it's different online and >how it's the same as offline) and would love thoughts on what the *key* > resources are. > Thanks! > Miriam Miriam - what precisely do you mean by "different online and the same offline"? Do you mean how for certain people their online identity is radically different than their offline one but for others there is no distinction? The latter part is pretty much my entire dissertation. ;) Or were you thinking of something else? I've always found Judith Donath's work on identity very helpful to me (Donath, Judith S. "Identity And Deception In The Virtual Community." Communities in Cyberspace. Eds. Marc A. Smith and Peter Kollok. New York: Routledge, 1999.) Also Lisa Nakamura, of course (Nakamura, Lisa.
