The research field of culture and video gaming has been growing steadily over the past years. In an effort to bring together people working in the field and providing a space for exchange, the International Academy for the Study of Gaming and Religion (IASGAR) is now hosting its first PhD-Summer-Day. This will give PhD students and other early stage researchers the opportunity to discuss their work and receive feedback from renowned international scholars from the field. Research addressing media-centered approaches, the perspectives of games developers, and publishers as well as the recipients’ point of view are welcome. The IASGAR-Summer-Day 2022 will give doctoral students and master students an opportunity to receive feedback from international senior scholars in a collegial atmosphere. The IASGAR PhD-Summer-Day offers a chance to engage in a critical exchange about practical methods and theoretical approaches for the scientific handling of religion, culture and video gaming. The conference will take place in hybrid form, i.e. the experts will be on site, but the doctoral students can also join digitally – in the event of travel difficulties. Confirmed experts: Gregory Grieve (Religious Studies, Greensboro, USA) Christopher Helland (Sociology, Social Anthropology, Halifax, Canada) John Borchert (Religious Studies, Greensboro, USA) Xenia Zeiler (South Asian Studies, Helsinki, Finland) Lisa Kienzl (Religious Studies, Bremen, Germany) Kathrin Trattner (Religious Studies, Bremen, Germany) Kerstin Radde-Antweiler (Religious Studies, Bremen, Germany) The participants will present their projects and receive feedback from one of the experts.

Call for papers (conference): On the Margins: Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities, 15-16 December 2022
by Naomi Wells 04 May '22

04 May '22

On the Margins: Hypertext, Electronic Literature, Digital Humanities Senate House, University of London London, UK, December 15-16, 2022 https://easychair.org/cfp/Margins22 Since its early days as a series of experimental approaches, the Hypertext paradigm has proven itself vital in dealing with what Ted Nelson called “deep structural changes in the arrangements of ideas and phenomena.” Whether we conceive of Hypertext as non-sequential writing that branches and allows choices to the reader, or as a body of written or pictorial material interconnected in such a complex way that it could not conveniently be represented on paper, thinking in Hypertext has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. In our research lives, Hypertext technologies and methodologies are similarly amongst the most prominent and visible outcomes of the “digital age.” Mature products of its investigation by research communities can be found in the work of Electronic Literature scholars and practitioners, Hypertext and Hypermedia specialists, and researchers in the Digital Humanities. However, owing perhaps to their disparate angles of investigation and the sheer scope of activity, these research communities remain fragmented and somehow “on the margins” of wider Humanities and Computer Science scholarship. We invite members of the Hypertext, Electronic Literature and Digital Humanities communities, including PhD and Early Career Researchers, to come together for a two-day conference reflecting on how Hypertext has shaped our research and creative practices, to build research opportunities between sympathetic communities, and to envision how to push the boundaries of Hypertext beyond its current incarnations. We want to inaugurate a space that will promote debate and connections, building new understanding at the crossroads between disciplines. We are planning to hold the conference in person, but can make arrangements to show pre-recorded presentations if you are unable to attend. Call for contributions * Potential topics include but are not limited to: * Studying digital reading experience * Describing “book history” for digital formats * Redefinitions of authorship and collaboration * New literary forms enabled by electronic literature * Multilingual and translingual digital texts and practices * Transmediality * Born-digital archives, genres and emerging formats * Digital scholarly editions * Approaches to digital inclusion * Pedagogy and hypertext applications * Social media * Experimental or early research Submission formats The conference will include three tracks: * Full papers (15-20 minutes) * Posters and Lightning talks (5-10 minutes; PGR and ECR contributions particularly welcome) * Tutorials for tools and demos * For full papers, we invite extended abstracts of 2,000-4,000 (4-8 pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format), plus references. * For posters and lightning talks, we invite extended abstracts of 300-1,000 words (2-4 pages in the ACM CHI Extended Abstract format), plus references. * Accepted abstracts will be published in a peer-reviewed, Open Access volume in the Conference Proceedings of ACM series. * See this page for submission templates<https://chi2022.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-publication-forma…>; both Word and LaTeX formats available. The choice of the extended abstract format bridges practices between the Humanities and Hypertext communities, promoting the inclusion of scholars at different career stages and leaving a lasting legacy for the conference that can continue to benefit the research community. Please note that not all elements of the template will be relevant to all submissions. For tutorials, proposals should provide the following information: * title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the conference theme (not more than 1000 words); * full contact information for all tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement summarising their research interests and areas of expertise; * description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); * any special requirements for technical support * a brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in approximately 2 hours, plus breaks Important dates * CfP opens 6 April 2022 * Paper, poster and workshop submission by 4 July 2022 * Acceptance by 5 September 2022 Confirmed Keynote speakers * Gustavo Gomez-Mejia (University of Tours) * James O’Sullivan (University College Cork) Conference programme committee * Alessio Antonini (Open University) * Francesca Benatti (Open University) * Sam Brooker (Richmond) * Christopher Ohge (School of Advanced Study, University of London) * Naomi Wells (School of Advanced Study, University of London) * Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study, University of London)

by Christopher John Olson 03 May '22

03 May '22

The Popular Culture Studies Journal is currently soliciting reviews for our upcoming October 2022 issue. We are seeking authors to review works on any aspect of American or international popular culture. Specifically, we are interested in reviews of recent (i.e. published within the last two years) scholarly monographs or anthologies and general interest books examining all areas of popular culture from a variety of perspectives. We will also consider older seminal pieces that deserve a second look. For a list of books to review, please visit Booklist for Reviews<https://mpcaaca.org/the-popular-culture-studies-journal/for-submitting-revi…>. In addition, we are seeking reviews of films, videos, websites, games, theater, or any other popular works that have been published, released, performed, or posted in the last two years. Once again, we will also consider older seminal works that deserve a second look. We only ask that reviews of popular media texts discuss how such works might be used in pedagogical or scholarly situations. If you wish to review a popular media text, you must submit a brief rationale for the relevance of the review. A short paragraph outlining why you think the text is worthy of review in the journal will suffice. Reviews should adhere to the ethos of the Popular Culture Studies Journal and be largely positive with any criticism of the work being constructive in nature. For more information about this journal, please visit the Popular Culture Studies Journal<https://mpcaaca.org/the-popular-culture-studies-journal/> website. Written reviews should be roughly 800-1000 words in length and should be typed, double-spaced with 12-point Times New Roman font. Research and documentation must adhere to The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers and The MLA Style Manual, 8th edition, which requires a Works Cited list with parenthetical author/page references in the text. Punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation, and other matters of style must also follow The MLA Handbook and The MLA Style Manual.

Tomorrow: Selfie Democracy Book Event @ Centre for Data, Culture, and Society
by Kate Miltner 03 May '22

03 May '22

Hi all, The Digital Social Science Cluster at the Centre for Data, Culture, and Society at the University of Edinburgh is hosting an online event tomorow with Elizabeth Losh, author of the forthcoming book Selfie Democracy. Kate ________________________________ Elizabeth Losh - Selfie Democracy: Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and the New Digital Politics Wed, 4 May 2022, 16:00 – 17:30 BST Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/selfie-democracy-barack-obama-donald-trump-a… Based on interviews with White House insiders, archival research, and a trove of digital data, this presentation provides a preview of the author’s forthcoming book about digital literacy in the White House. It reveals important insights about the smartphone practices of the most significant actors in recent American politics—Barack Obama and Donald Trump as presidents and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden as presidential candidates—and how their approaches to domestic governance and crisis management related to their everyday technological choices as users of computational media. Such powerful political leaders often reinforce certain cultural assumptions about the power of the smartphone that perpetuate myths about connection, transparency, participation, and access. These myths are further amplified in rhetoric borrowed from Silicon Valley about how these technologies supposedly strengthen social bonds, enable exploration, encourage engagement, and overcome barriers. Obama might have been the anti-Trump and Trump the anti-Obama, but they both used mobile computing in ways that redefined the office of president. This talk exposes the unintended consequences of wireless technologies on political leadership and shows how seemingly benign mobile devices that hold out the promise of direct democracy can ultimately undermine representative forms of government, as the January 6th, 2021 storming of the US Capital by a selfie-taking mob livestreaming the insurrection demonstrates.
