by Maria Michalis 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Online ECREA Pre-conference: The Impact of Streaming on Media Industries and Cultural Production Monday 17th October 2022 Organised by the ECREA Media Industries and Cultural Production Section Call for Papers: Streaming media content, live or recorded, has experienced exponential growth during the COVID19 pandemic. Streaming, understood as the digital transmission and reception of files over the Internet, refers to text, audio and video content. It has impacted upon both content distribution and consumption in a variety of sectors such as film, television, games, publishing, music, and radio/podcasts. The multiple forms and commercial models through which streaming services are organized -- from transnational streaming services, to such that target specific geographical markets or audiences, and from commercial to indie and public service streaming -- transform cultural production in manifold ways. With streaming, consumption has become more on demand and personalised. This conference on the impact of streaming on the media industries and cultural production is particularly interested in bringing together scholars examining the impact of streaming on different media industry sectors and/or in different countries and production contexts. It especially welcomes contributions that explore the impact of streaming along different parts of the media supply-chain, from the front-end distribution and delivery of content, through content delivery networks and physical infrastructure operations. Rather than the usual format, this online conference will consist of workshops made up of 5-10-minute provocations/statements designed to generate debate and discussion. We also welcome pre-constituted workshops of four or five 5-10-minute provocations/statements, as well as workshops that include industry participants. Two slots per session will be ringfenced for early career researchers, pending sufficient applications. Please indicate if you are an early career researcher in the Abstract. For 5-10-minute provocations/statements, please submit an abstract of maximum 150 words, and a biography of maximum 100 words. Individually submitted provocations will be formed by the selection committee into workshops consisting of 4-5 provocations. For pre-constituted workshops of four or five 5-10-minute provocations/statements, please submit a maximum 800 word abstract summarising the overall theme for the workshop and the contribution of each participant, and a maximum 100 word biography for each participant. The deadline for submissions is 18 March 2022. Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smicpoct2022ecreapc We will notify all authors of acceptance/ rejection by 26 April 2022. For questions regarding the pre-conference and/or abstract submission, please email Maria Michalis, University of Westminster m.michalis(a)westminster.ac.uk<mailto:m.michalis@westminster.ac.uk> The authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers or short provocations/statements online on Monday 17th October.

[Extended Deadline] ICA Pre-conference CFP|| Sovereignty and the Return of Governance for Digital Platforms May 25
by Xiao Han 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

[Extended Deadline] ICA Pre-conference: Sovereignty and the Return of Governance for Digital Platforms (online) Organised by: the SAGE journal Global Media and China, the University of Sydney Endorsed by the Following ICA Divisions: Communications Law & Policy; Global Communications & Social Change Date: May 25, 9:00-5:00pm (CET) Invited participants: Jiang Fei (Beijing Foreign Studies University, China); Terry Flew (The University of Sydney, Australia); Anthony Fung (Chinese University of Hong Kong); Shin Dong Kim (Hallym University, South Korea); Philip Schlesinger (University of Glasgow); Daya Kishan Thussu (Hong Kong Baptist University). Overview In an era that has been termed one of post-globalization (Flew, 2018), there is considerable debate around governance of the global Internet. In particular, multistakeholder approaches which seek to bypass nation-state governments in the name of global "netizens" have been critiqued as lacking real regulatory capacity to transform the behaviour of digital platforms towards public interest goals. This one-day symposium will explore questions of sovereignty in the digital environment from international and comparative perspectives. We are particularly interested in papers which address: ·The ‘regulatory turn’ towards digital platforms and comparative insights. ·How digital platforms with an international footprint navigate competing jurisdictional rules and regulations; ·The rise of “tech nationalism” and the promotion of digital “national champions”; ·New forms of regulation being developed by national governments and the European Union; ·The role of quasi-self-regulatory entities developed by companies themselves (e.g. Facebook Oversight Board); ·Proposals for reform of international internet governance institutions; ·The relationship between global digital platforms and questions of sovereignty and accountable governance; ·The impact of COVID-19 on digital platform governance. Submission and Selection Process Authors should submit an extended abstract of 300-500 words to: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=platformgovernance1# <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=platformgovernance1#> by 28 Feburary, 2022. The extended abstracts should include the main idea/argument, research questions, a short literature review and/or theoretical perspectives, information on methodology and empirical findings (if relevant). We welcome different approaches, including discussions of literature, concepts and theories, historical perspectives, and empirical analyses. The extended abstracts will go through a double-blind peer review process. All submitted abstracts must be anonymous with no reference to author(s). Include name, affiliation and contact details either in the email or in a separate attachment. *** Selected abstracts will be invited to submit full papers to the special issue of the journal Global Media and China (http://journals.sagepub.com/home/gch <http://journals.sagepub.com/home/gch>).

Reminder: 15 February Abstract Deadline, CFP "Immersive Storytelling", Special Issue, Convergence
by Sarah Martindale 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

**CFP* "IMMERSIVE STORYTELLING", SPECIAL ISSUE, CONVERGENCE: THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH INTO NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES* We invite submissions for a special issue of *Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies* <https://journals.sagepub.com/home/con> on the topic of *Immersive Storytelling*. Storytelling is central to the immersive entertainment industry in all its astonishing variety: Alternative Reality Games (ARGs); escape rooms; experiential art; immersive audio; Live Action Role Play (LARP); live experiences incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR); scare and other themed attractions; immersive interactive theatre; transmedia and virtual experiences. The industry underpins an international marketplace that encompasses everything from Dreamscape Immersive’s location-based VR attractions, to Museum of Ice Cream’s multi-sensory installations, to Punch Drunk’s immersive theatre shows; examples spread across the USA, Singapore, Dubai and China. The global pandemic has accelerated the pace of R&D as the power of creative minds has focused on connecting with dispersed audiences in their own homes and locales using technologies like streaming and mobile device applications. With this come the challenges of retaining qualities of liveness and collective experience when people can’t physically travel or congregate in large numbers. At this time of experimentation, adaptation and recovery we can reflect on the current reality of the ‘experience economy’ conceived by Pine and Gilmore in 1998, given that immersion is a contested term and the diverse forms listed above all have complex histories. The goal is to bring together perspectives from the global research community across multiple disciplines which have a stake in developing, studying and critically interrogating immersive storytelling. The Editors welcome contributions on any topic related to immersive storytelling, such as: - *Definitional debates and histories.* This could include taxonomies, historical background, disciplinary perspectives and comparative analyses of existing works. - *Collaboration and partnership models. *This could include examples of production practice, digitally enabled forms (including algorithmic/automated generation) and authoring processes (including co-creation). - *Platforms, tools, techniques. *This could include content creation tools, underpinning technologies/techniques, prototype systems, conceptual designs and strategies to scaffold user interaction. - *Aesthetics and new modes of experience. *This could include emergent/hybrid creative methodologies, economic value, business model innovation, the contexts of consumption, industries of research and criticism, investment priorities (e.g. the UK’s £72 million Creative Industries Sector Deal); and the impact of these on cultural policy, professional skills and creative sector employment, especially in light of threats to arts funding - *Critical approaches to immersive storytelling. *This could include modes of participation (agency, liveness, presence and collective experience) and strategies of support (funding and pricing models). - *Researching immersion and immersive experiences. *This could include research histories, approaches to user testing and audience research, and intersectional methodologies for analysing creative practice. - *Sites, contexts and cultures of immersive storytelling production. *This could include issues of representation, social justice, public attitudes, the digital divide, global variations in technology access and usage, and the ethics of using personal data (including unintended consequences). We are open to a range of approaches in exploring this topic, which is broadly conceptualised, and particularly welcome submissions that address *immersive storytelling practice, audiences and research in the global south*. To submit: Please send a *500-word* abstract and a 100-word bio per author to the guest editors at *sarah.martindale(a)nottingham.ac.uk* <sarah.martindale(a)nottingham.ac.uk> and *jonathan.hook(a)york.ac.uk* <jonathan.hook(a)york.ac.uk> by *15 February 2022* Authors of accepted abstracts will be contacted in mid-*March *and invited to submit full contributions by *15 June 2022* Guest Editors:* Sarah Martindale* (*University of Nottingham* <https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/>, UK) and *Jonathan Hook* (*University of York* <https://www.york.ac.uk/>, UK) Deadline for Abstract Submissions: *15 February 2022* Deadline for Full Papers: *15 June 2022* Expected date of publication: *May 2023*

CfP ECREA Pre-conference: Datafied Welfare States
by Mercea, Dan 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Call for Papers (deadline for submission: 1 April 2022) ECREA Pre-conference: Datafied Welfare States, https://ruc.dk/en/ecrea-preconference-datafied-welfare-states The ECREA pre-conference is arranged by the Communication & Democracy section, the ERC-funded Datafied Living project and the Data Publics project, funded by the Velux Foundation. Keynote speaker: Professor Anne Kaun, Södertörn University Data logging and processing have been fundamental for the development and maintenance of welfare states since the 20th century. Exemplified by key functions such as the assignment of social security numbers, the reporting of tax statements, or the registration of criminal records, state authorities have always been dependent on collecting and organising significant amounts of citizen data. With the digitization of welfare sectors and institutions and the rise of computerised big data, these processes have accelerated, leading to new and comprehensive modes of datafication (Cukier & Mayer-Schoenberger 2013; Kitchin 2014; Mejias & Couldry 2019). Following this "paradigm shift" in the provision of public services and social welfare (Dencik & Kaun 2020), the pre-conference discusses the growing reliance on data-driven and algorithmic systems across sectors and institutions (Yeung 2018; Eubanks 2018). We are particularly interested in the extensive use of commercially supplied services and in the growing reliance on big tech companies who provide the underlying infrastructure for a wide range of societal functions. Amazon and Microsoft are, for instance, dominant actors in the provision of cloud solutions to public databases and services, while entire app ecologies rely on Google's third-party services and developer tools. Focusing on the consequences of this inherent and hidden commercialization, the pre-conference welcomes contributions that enquire into the potential conflicts of interests and clashes between market logics and welfare ideologies. The pre-conference, in other words, seeks to understand the nature of emergent data welfare states (Andreasen et al. 2021) and to critically assess how and why mechanisms of datafication and commodification are being built into the architecture of contemporary welfare states and democracies. It enquires into technical, ethical, and political choices that are made when digital technologies are implemented; the degrees and possibilities of citizen surveillance and data governance; the market structures and political economies around datafied welfare services and sectors; and the material infrastructures that undergird the datafication of the welfare state. The pre-conference welcomes contributions on, but not limited to: - Datafication processes and challenges in key welfare sectors (e.g., healthcare, education, social services, policing, media, etc.) - Conflicts and clashes between welfare ideologies and commercial logics of big tech - Historical analyses of public datafication processes - Theoretical discussions on datafication and democracy - Case studies of e.g., Covid-19 strategies - Digital public infrastructure projects and public-private partnerships The ECREA pre-conference is arranged by the Communication & Democracy section, the ERC-funded Datafied Living project and the Data Publics project, funded by the Velux Foundation. The pre-conference is in hybrid format and both speakers and listeners can choose to participate in person or online. Participation is free of charge, but seats are limited, and registration is mandatory. Authors must indicate if they plan to present online or in person. Abstracts of 300-500 words excluding references must be sent to datafiedwelfarestates(a)hum.ku.dk no later than April 1st, 2022. Timeline: Deadline for submission of abstracts: April 1st, 2022 Notification of acceptance: June 1st, 2022 Deadline for registrations: September 1st, 2022 Pre-conference: October 18th, 2022, 9-17 (CEST)

Platform Socialism (James Muldoon)
by camrievent 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Please join us at the CAMRI seminar Thursday next week Platform Socialism James Muldoon (University of Exeter) Date: Thursday, 10 February 2022 Time: 17.00-19.00 (UK time) Location: Online event - Zoom Meeting (please register so that we can send you the Zoom link) Registration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/platform-socialism-tickets-250158339327 Tech companies have been criticised for their surveillance practices, privacy breaches and monopolistic ambitions. Instead of inquiring as to how we could ‘fix’ Facebook, this seminar explores alternatives that could replace them. It presents the idea of platform socialism - the organisation of the digital economy through the social ownership of digital assets and democratic control over the infrastructure and systems that govern our digital lives. This framework facilitates holistic thinking about the systemic nature of the problems we face and the need for genuine alternatives. To develop the principles and institutional sketch of platform socialism, James Muldoon draws inspiration from the writings of two early twentieth century writers: the libertarian socialist, G. D. H. Cole and the Austrian philosopher and economist Otto Neurath. James proposes new forms of participatory and decentralised governance through an ecosystem of alternative ownership models of digital platforms. How would socially-owned and controlled apps operate in transport, food delivery and short-term accommodation? Drawing from historical examples and contemporary prototypes, platform socialism seeks to reclaim a long-term counter-hegemonic project for challenging capitalist control over technology. Biography Dr James Muldoon is a senior lecturer in political science at the University of Exeter and researcher at the Autonomy think tank. He is the author of Platform Socialism: Reclaiming our Digital Future from Big Tech (Pluto Press, 2022) and Building Power to Change the World: The Political Thought of the German Council Movements (OUP, 2020).

Technology Ethics in Action: Critical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives
by Joanne Cheung 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Dear all— I’m thrilled to share a new open-access special issue in the Journal of Social Computing, “Technology Ethics in Action: Critical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives”! This special issue interrogates the discourses and impacts of “tech ethics.” As many institutions embrace tech ethics in response to concerns about digital technology, it is necessary to consider the impacts, limits, and opportunities of these initiatives. The articles in this issue analyze tech ethics as a practical and political endeavor, rather than a primarily philosophical one. What's happened as "tech ethics" has become a widespread discourse? What are the limits of tech ethics initiatives? How can we develop better paths forward? The twelve academic essays encompass a diverse background of authors and a wide exploration on the topic of tech ethics. The topics range from ethics-washing to ethics-bashing, inherent racial bias in algorithms, data scientists as political actors, and the vast unseen and unacknowledged labor that is required to keep algorithms running. The articles are published in two editions: The first section presents the limitations of trying to fix technology through ethics <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=9684739&punumber=896…> The second section presents methodologies and solutions for how technology could better serve society <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=9698149&punumber=896…> My contribution,“Real Estate Politik: Democracy and the Financialization of Social Networks” <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9698151>, looks at the structural problems with social media from the perspective of land use and land activism. I draw an analogy between the financialization of attention by platforms with the financialization of land by commercial real estate development, and explore community land trusts and Indigenous land stewardship as models for public interest technology. This work emerged from the Ethical Tech Working Group at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. We hope it will be a useful resource for this community's research, teaching, advocacy, and more. Best, Joanne Cheung — joannekcheung.com <https://joannekcheung.com/>
