Special Issue CfP Methods in Visual Politics and Protest (reminder)
by Suay Melisa Oezkula 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Dear Colleagues, This is a brief reminder of our Call for Papers for a Special Issue on "Methodological Developments in Visual Politics & Protest", to be published in the Journal of Digital Social Research (https://www.jdsr.io/) Abstracts of 400-500 words are due 15th December 2022. Full details can be found below and on the dedicated call website: https://www.jdsr.io/call-for-papers *BACKGROUND TO THIS SPECIAL ISSUE* War streaming on Instagram, propaganda in press photography, refugee activism on TikTok - recent European crises have shown images and videos as essential tools of communication in politics and protest, a trend mirrored in the increasing use of visual data in research methodologies. Visual data may capture practices of visual, performative, or non-verbal communication, text-image relationships, the development of visual formats, notions of aesthetics, as well as underlying meanings of symbols and codes. Extant research has since captured different elements of visual politics and protest, including social history (e.g. protest photography), political commentary or affiliation (e.g. through memes or profile picture overlays), social cues in political communication (e.g. in the form of GIFs, filters, or emoji), visual activism practices (e.g. culture-jamming, sousveillance video coverage, graphic flesh-witnessing, or video activism), and visual forms of information documentation and distribution (e.g. infographics). Even so, new creative practices have at times challenged research practices, for example with regards to image authenticity and appropriation in mis- and disinformation campaigns (e.g. deepfakes), the role of platform affordances in new visual formats and spaces (e.g. short videos on TikTok), (mis)interpretation and differing levels of visual literacy in communications, trust in image data as factual evidence, and opaqueness in the production of visual materials. These critical debates have been particularly contentious in the arena of politics and protest, where visuals have been seen to shape political opinion and discourse, electoral campaigns, war coverage, and Covid-19 data visualisations. In response to these trends, we are looking for methodologically oriented papers on visual politics and/or protest. This may include methodological discussions, new methods or approaches, worked examples or case studies, research on emerging visual digital phenomena, or submissions linking theory to methodology surrounding digital culture, data, or methods. Foci may be based around methods of data collection, analysis, visualisation, theorisation, or other methodological areas. On a broad level this may include (but is not limited to): ➢ New methodological approaches in visual or multimodal data collection or analysis ➢ Platform- or format-specific mitigations in conducting visual research on politics and protest ➢ New methodological approaches (including software tools if applicable) for capturing visuality or visual cultures in politics and protest ➢ Discussions of the relevance of technological formats, tools, and infrastructures in visual research ➢ Innovations in embedding visuals or visuality with textual, audio, or sensory materials ➢ Advancements in analysing specific political visual digital practices and/or phenomena ➢ Methodological strategies for interpreting and/or quantifying visual data ➢ Emerging approaches to visualising image or video data ➢ Suggestions or developments in the ethical treatment of visuality in politics, protest, or activism ➢ Epistemological discussions of the role of the visual in politics, protest, or social movements ➢ Advances in collecting, interpreting, and conceptualising social media data ➢ Linking theory to methodology in visual research We are open to different article structures. However, articles should have clear contributions in the arena of methodological research by outlining or describing new methodological approaches, innovations, strategies, or frameworks. As such, they should draw on methodological scholarship in the wider field. *SUBMISSION & KEY DATES* Extended abstracts of 400-500 words excluding reference list (references are optional) are due 15th December 2022 and should be sent directly to the special issue editors - see email info below. Final articles should be submitted directly via the journal website of the Journal of Digital Social Research (https://www.jdsr.io/) and have a word count of up to 8500 words inclusive of everything (abstracts, reference list, notes). 15th December 2022: special issue abstract submissions 15th February 2023: End of abstract selection & communication of results 15th April 2023: Full papers due 15th July 2023: End of first review round 15th October 2023: End of second review round December 2023: Publication of special issue *FURTHER DETAILS* This special issue call follows on from the pre-conference workshop “Visual Politics & Protest - Methodological Challenges” organised by the ECREA Visual Cultures section (see https://visualculturesecrea.wordpress.com/) Submissions to the special issue call are, however, open to everyone. For added context, the programme can still be viewed on the pre-conference website: https://cutt.ly/visual-politics-ecrea, along with a list of references discussed during the conference. In the case of both questions or submissions, please email us directly on the below indicated email addresses. *SPECIAL ISSUE TEAM* Suay Melisa Özkula, University of Trento, suaymelisa.ozkula(a)unitn.it Hadas Schlussel, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, hadas.schlussel(a)mail.huji.ac.il Danka Ninković Slavnić, University of Belgrade, dninkovic(a)yahoo.com Doron Altaratz, The Hadassah Academic College, doronal(a)edu.hac.ac.il Tom Divon, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, zem1987(a)gmail.com

Call for papers: Datafication of borders and migration, May 25, Toronto Metropolitan University
by Leurs, K.H.A. (Koen) 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Call for papers: Datafication of borders and migration, May 25, perhaps of interest too to people attending ICA 2023 URL: https://www.torontomu.ca/content/dam/cerc-migration/opportunities/Call-for-… Web page: https://www.torontomu.ca/cerc-migration/news/2022/11/call-datafication-bord… For an international workshop, co-convened by the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration; Intimacy in Data Driven Culture project, Tampere University; and Co-Designing a Fair Digital Asylum Research Project and Digital Migration Special Interest Group, Utrecht University Digital technologies and datafied systems are increasingly used to surveil, control and manage migration, shifting the balance in the humanitarianism-securitization nexus. New automated systems from facial recognition to language detection have profoundly intensified and changed migration and border policies (Nalbandian, 2022). Data driven technologies have rendered borders ubiquitous, multi-layered and mundane: the outside border control has become increasingly mobile, now travelling with and tracking migrated bodies after border crossings (Leurs & Ponzanesi, 2023; Aradau & Tazzioli 2020; Dijstelbloem, 2021; Metcalfe & Dencik, 2019; Chouliaraki & Georgiou, 2022; Ahouga, 2022). Datafication is often framed as a phenomenon that concerns everyone: in a highly networked digital world, datafication cannot be escaped. However, datafication does not treat everyone in the same way. Automated social sorting, critical data studies highlighted, is often based on categorizations and assumptions that echo existing social biases and historical power structures, as well as pervasive and accumulative surveillance of the already marginalized (Gangadharan & Niklas, 2019; Ajana, 2019; Colman, 2016; Nikunen & Valtonen, 2023). At the same time, data driven technologies also provide systems of help, aid and witnessing, as well as new forms of resistance and activism to support people who are seeking asylum or who are on the move (Gillespie et al., 2018, Glouftsios & Scheel, 2020; Latonero & Kift, 2018). The goal of this one-day conference is to bring together scholars to introduce their research on digital technologies and datafication in migration and discuss the ambivalent and contradictory role of datafication and digital technologies for migrants and refugees, as well as the unsettling consequences of datafication in bordering and policymaking. We invite papers that explore these issues from different global contexts and disciplines, from media and communication, migration studies, critical data studies, cultural studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, science and technology studies, law, social anthropology, criminology, data science and geography. The event fosters cross-disciplinary dialogues of qualitative research, ethnography, digital methods and critical data studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Affect and emotions related to border practices Biopolitics of borders Border and migration policy and datafication Data biases Datafied border infrastructures Detention, incarceration and data Digital bordering Digitization of asylum procedures Experience of data and borders Gender, decolonial, postcolonial and critical race studies Resistance, protest and activism Information practices Surveillance Witnessing Submissions for papers should include an abstract (300-400 words indicating main research questions, methods and expected results) and a short biographical note (150 words) about the author including her/his/their current position and interest in the field of digital media and migration. Submissions should be emailed to cerc.migration(a)ryerson.ca by January 10, 2023. Accepted participants will be notified by January 30, 2023. For further questions please mail: Kaarina.nikunen(a)tuni.fi and K.H.A.Leurs(a)uu.nl Organizing committee: Koen Leurs, Utrecht University Kaarina Nikunen, Tampere University Anna Triandafyllidou, CERC Migration, Toronto Metropolitan University Younes Ahouga, CERC Migration, Toronto Metropolitan University Lucia Nalbandian, CERC Migration, Toronto Metropolitan University and University of Toronto The conference is organized in collaboration with the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration, Toronto Metropolitan University; Intimacy in Data Driven Culture (IDA) project, Tampere University; the Co-Designing a Fair Digital Asylum Research Project and the Digital Migration Special Interest Group, Utrecht University.

Deadline Approaching: CFP - Doing Global Media Studies: Theories, Practices, Reflections Symposium March 22-23, University of Pennsylvania
by Zimanyi, Eszter 01 Dec '22

01 Dec '22

With apologies for cross-posting - please find the CFP for the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication's Fellows Symposium, to be held March 22-23rd in a hybrid format. Submissions are due by 11:59PM EST, December 15th. Please reach out to cargcfellowssymposium(a)gmail.com with any questions. Doing Global Media Studies: Theories, Practices, Reflections CARGC Fellows’ symposium March 22 - 23, 2023 – Call for Proposals To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, the 2023 biannual fellows’ symposium will reflect on evolving concepts and methodologies in the field of global communication and media studies. We are witnessing ongoing global crises, from widespread displacements and climate disasters, to pandemics and the rising threat of fascism. In light of these circumstances, we invite emerging scholars, artists, and activists to explore what a global approach to media and communication can do today. What is at stake in studying global communication and media at this historical moment? We seek to decenter Western epistemologies by foregrounding the local, the situated, and the relational interconnectedness of cultures, institutions, and infrastructures through media. In an effort to think beyond the national frameworks typically employed by area studies, we foreground transregional methods and frameworks of study that situate the global within the local and vice versa. Bringing together questions of the global and the local allows us as scholars to be reflective and reflexive, to situate our own scholarship within the world, rather than from an imagined, 'objective' outside. We invite scholarly and creative projects, including research papers, creative writing, video essays or documentaries, sound or audio projects, artistic installations, and performances. We welcome submissions from early career scholars, as well as artists and activists whose work engages these issues. Submissions from scholars, artists, and activists based in the Global South are particularly encouraged. Topics may include: * Activist interventions, inclusive practices, and in/equity in global communication and media * Epistemologies of the planetary, the global, and the local and their interrelations * Mediating (neo)colonialism, environmental extractivism, and competing sovereignties * The politics of translation, comparative frameworks, and regional approaches * Media’s im/mobilities and south-to-south flows of cultural exchange * Global perspectives on ( the failures of) communicating mis/disinformation, nonsense, and noise * Global political economy of media industries, platforms, and popular culture The keynote address will be given by Professor Purnima Mankekar. Conference Format & Timeline The CARGC Fellows symposium will take place at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA and online on March 22 & 23, 2023. The symposium is planned as a hybrid event, with in-person participation highly encouraged. It will feature a keynote address by Dr. Purnima Mankekar and roundtable sessions (in which participants will give 5-8 minute flash presentations of their work). Senior scholars will act as discussion facilitators for the roundtable sessions, responding to and providing feedback on participants’ work. The purpose of these roundtables is to foster discussion between participants before opening up to a wider Q&A from the audience. Accepted participants will also be invited to a professional development workshop on teaching global media studies and communication. * Keynote address and in-person roundtable sessions will be made accessible to global audiences through Zoom. Please note that the professional development workshop is for symposium presenters only. * Accepted participants with financial need may apply for a travel grant to offset a portion of the cost of travel * Timeline: Submission deadline for abstracts is December 15, 2022. Acceptance notifications will be sent to selected participants by late January 2023. Please note that although all sessions will be held in a roundtable format, participants are still asked to circulate their conference-length papers and/or creative work to their roundtable chair. Submission Guidelines: Important Note: Participant(s) may only submit one proposal to the conference. Proposals should be uploaded through our submission platform here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJsy7I2iK5qJ6qOJ9uwjXqxESZSWrapTt…> Academic Paper Submissions: * Select “Academic paper” on the submission form * Abstracts and presentations should be in English * Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words (excluding references) * The abstract must clearly and succinctly describe the paper’s topic, argument, theoretical framework, or theories from which the project draws from, context/data, method/research approach, and expected results/findings/intervention. * Please indicate whether you intend to participate in person or virtually Creative and Multimodal Work Submissions: * Select the appropriate format (“Audio submission,” “Short film or documentary,” or “Creative writing”, “Performance”, “Installation” ) on submission form * Abstracts should be in English; creative works in other languages should be accompanied by English captions * The abstract should be a description of your project no longer than 300 words (excluding any references) * The description should highlight how the piece addresses or grapples with the conference theme and/or the topics listed above * You may also provide a link to your multimodal project (though this is not required) * Please indicate whether you intend to participate in person or virtually Please note that to keep the conference interactive and to leave room for questions and discussion, participants must be available to present their work synchronously during the conference, either in person or via Zoom.

Sanctions, war, and the sovereignty of RuNet | Online seminar with Ksenia Ermoshina
by Orsolya Gulyás 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

Dear colleagues, The next edition of our online Data Sovereignty seminar series will take place on 13 December at 15.00 (CET) with Ksenia Ermoshina (CIS-CNRS) on the project of the sovereign Russian internet in the context of the ongoing war and sanctions. Registration: https://brussels-school.be/event/data-sovereignty-seminar-5sanctions-war-an… While the Russian authorities have been tightening their control over RuNet for the last decade, there have been multiple possibilities for circumvention and evasion both for the RuNet users and for Internet Service Providers. We have previously examined the dynamic relations between the ISP community and the regulators, and described various tools and practices used by ISPs to avoid total control over the networks. However, with the adoption of the law on "Sovereign Runet" in 2019, Roskomnadzor hardened its grip over the networks. The new generation of DPI middleboxes called "TSPU", officially "made in Russia", changed the way RuNet was filtered and left little to no chance for ISPs to boycott censorship and surveillance over their users. However, after the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the technological sovereignty project was challenged — on the very level of infrastructures. Sanctions of technological companies against Russia led to a crisis of both components and software solutions, revealing a profound dependency of the RuNet on foreign technologies. The presentation will explore the effects of sanctions on the project of the Sovereign Runet, based on a mixed-methods approach: interviews with ISPs and vendors of information control equipment, analysis of vendors' websites and technical documentation of the equipment, analysis of websites and materials of specialized exhibitions focused on cybersecurity equipment and finally, network measurements.
