Looking for conferences...
by Christer Clerwall 30 Mar '06

Hi I'm looking for conferences where I can present research on web production in general and the impact of the production milieu on form and content in particular. There is one conference relating to media and communication studies where I have presented a paper (the bi-annual Nordic Conference on Media and Communication Research) but that's about it. I anyone could suggest conferences where research on different aspects of media production is usually presented I would be happy to compile a list and distribute it on this list. I have tried searching the web for relevant conferences, using a number of keywords but I'm not satisfied with the result. Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks Christer -------------------------------------------------- Christer Clerwall Lecturer/Ph.

myspace and race
by Greg Wise 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi folks, Just following up on the myspace thread that bounced around here last month: anyone know of any work regarding myspace and race? In particular representation, self-presentation, etc. of race on myspace (or similar sites). The article in the NYT a few weeks ago on online self-portraits got me thinking about identity performance and negotiation on such sites. cheers, Greg Wise

habermas on the internet
by Jeremy Hunsinger 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

"Use of the Internet has both broadened and fragmented the contexts of communication. This is why the Internet can have a subversive effect on intellectual life in authoritarian regimes. But at the same time, the less formal, horizontal cross-linking of communication channels weakens the achievements of traditional media. This focuses the attention of an anonymous and dispersed public on select topics and information, allowing citizens to concentrate on the same critically filtered issues and journalistic pieces at any given time. The price we pay for the growth in egalitarianism offered by the Internet is the decentralised access to unedited stories. In this medium, contributions by intellectuals lose their power to create a focus." From Habermas's Kreisky prize lecture printed in Der Standard March 10-11 translated in part in signandsight.com. thoughts? jeremy hunsinger jhuns(a)vt.edu www.cddc.vt.edu wiki.tmttlt.com www.tmttlt.com () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - against microsoft attachments http://www.stswiki.org/ sts wiki http://cfp.learning-inquiry.info/ LI-the journal

Steve- This looks great! But what is the "Chicago Manifesto on Openness"? Andrew P.S. Nice piece in the Cultural Studies issue on intellectual property. I think Kembrew and Ted did a magnificent jobb of putting together and keeping us on task. P.P.S. The Music that Moves piece still rocks the house. My students loved it in my fourth year seminar.
