Online Media & Global Communication eISSN: 2749-9049 Sponsored by Center for Global Public Opinion Research of China and School of Journalism and Communication, Shanghai International Studies University, China E-mail: OMGC(a)shisu.edu.cn CALL FOR PAPERS THEMED ISSUE: SHORT VIDEOS AND GLOBAL COMMUNICATON (500 word abstracts due Dec. 15, 2021) TikTok as a short-video app is taking the world by storm as the most downloaded mobile app in 2020 and its average user usage has surpassed YouTube in the U.S. Other social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Wechat/Tencent also increased their video postings. How do these short videos affect people’s perceptions and knowledge of their own countries and other countries? How are short online video use similar or different between countries? We invite scholars from around the world to submit their research on shorts videos to our journal which will have a theme on this topic in our second issue in 2022. Online Media & Global Communication is a new free open access English language refereed journal published quarterly by De Gruyter and sponsored by Shanghai International Studies University. It aims to publish high quality, innovative and original research on global communication especially in the use of global online media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Whatspps, Weibo, WeChat, Wikipedia, web sites, blogs, etc., in an effort to make theoretical contributions on online media and global communication, particularly in but not limited to the Global South. This journal will address the contemporary concerns about the effects and operations of global digital media platforms on international relations, international public opinion, fake news and propaganda dissemination, consumer behavior as well as the balance of voices in the world. Topics of interest but not limited to these topics for the themed issue: 1. Social media influencers on TikTok and short videos: Political, social, cultural and commercial Effects across countries and cross-national comparison. 2. How do short videos change national and city images in global communication? 3. How can short videos contribute to new research methods in studying global communication? 4. How do short videos differ from television in shaping global media news coverage and global youth culture? 5. How do different national governments or cultural tourism agencies in different countries use short videos or how do such use change relationship among countries? 6. How do online short videos transform the journalism practices of news media? 7. Under the global COVID-19 pandemic, how do online videos create new models and practices or affect current health communication? 8. How do national governments and the public perceive the algorithm used by these short video sites from privacy to social and political impacts such as the cancel culture? The journal publishes six-language abstracts in United Nations official languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish). This journal adopts a dual track review system as the first in the field of communication. Two review tracks are offered to the authors and authors must choose either one before final submission: 1) double blind (masked) review track that both authors and reviewers do not know the identity of the author; 2) single blind (masked) review track that reviewers will know the identity of the author and the authors are free to cite their own works and refer to themselves in the manuscript. Submitters who have posted their manuscript or its earlier version elsewhere online or with more than five self-citations will undergo the review process using the single-blind review track. All original submissions are in English with reviews by two or more reviewers. We adopt a structured abstract format with purpose, method, highlight of findings, practical implications, social and theoretical implications, originality and contribution so that just the abstract would be informative to the readers. Authors pay no fee to publish in the journal. Author Submission Guideline: 1. Publication Ethics. The journal will follow the Committee on Publication Ethics guideline for both reviewers and the authors. https://publicationethics.org/ 2. Original Submissions. All unsolicited authors’ submissions must be original and have not been published in English or other languages, either in print or online publications. Manuscripts which have been posted online such as university web sites, in preprint servers or file-sharing sites must self-identify such posting in the cover letter and undergo single-masked review. 1. Submission procedure: Authors are welcome to submit abstracts to the editor to determine the appropriateness of the manuscript before submitting the full-length manuscript to our journal e-mail: OMGC(a)shisu.edu.cn 2. Cover Letter. All new submissions must include a cover letter explaining whether the manuscript is the first time the dataset was being used. If not, then the author should report previous articles or submissions to other journals using the same dataset and explaining the advancement of knowledge of the submitted manuscript over previous articles and other manuscripts under review in other journals. 3. Abstracts and keywords. Manuscripts must include a structured abstract format no longer than 300 words in total (purpose, method, findings, implications, value) and proper keywords to help identify appropriate reviewers. See example on journal web site. Up to eight keywords can be accepted. The keywords must include country/region of study, research method, and the name of the online media platform being studied such as YouTube or category such as social media. 4. Citing your own works. When authors choose double-masked review track, excessive self-citations (more than 5) are discouraged and will be viewed as an attempt to identify the author. Such manuscript will undergo single-masked review automatically. Authors going through a double-masked review track who need to cite their own previous works should cite them in the\same way as other authors. There is no need to specify the work is written by the author. The only exceptions are in press or forthcoming articles. In those cases, the in-text reference should be (Authors, in press/forthcoming). In single-masked review track, authors are free to cite and refer to their own works in the text of the manuscript and there is no limit on self-citations as long as they are appropriate. 5. Citation style. The journal generally adopts APA style 7th edition in general and publishes in American English. However, in the reference section, authors are required to provide the full name of each cited author such as Chen, Daiwen and Kaoqiu Lu (2020), instead of initials, to help identify authors in non-English speaking countries who have little differentiation by last name.

histories of computing in Asia (first CFP)
by Christopher Leslie 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Dear Colleagues, Academic researchers, public historians, and industry professionals who are interested in the histories of computing in Asia will share their interdisciplinary insights at the next meeting of IFIP’s Working Group 9.7. Our current plan is to meet concurrently with the Human Choice and Computers 15 conference at Chuo University, Tokyo, in September 2022, but we will accommodate participants who cannot join us in person. The theme of the workshop is histories of computing in Asia. The program committee will consider any paper in line with this theme, but we are particularly interested in topics such as: A. Internationalism. Frameworks for understanding multinational cooperation and innovation B. Science and Technology Studies. History and philosophy of technology, from east to west C. Pedagogy. Teaching the history of computing in or about Asia D. Public History and Imagination. Remembering and presenting histories of computing This workshop will build on Working Group 9.7’s successes in highlighting the international history of computing, resulting in Springer volumes on Nordic countries, Soviet and Russian computing, and eastern Europe. Even though the workshop language is English, many of our participants do not speak English as a first language; we are committed to international exchange, so we encourage all researchers to participate regardless of language ability. Following WG 9.7’s typical practice, we request the submission of draft papers for consideration because we are focused on producing an excellent proceedings volume, which contain selected, revised papers and be published by Springer. Three members of the program committee (which consists both of people with expertise in the field and generalists) will review each paper anonymously, make comments to the author(s), and recommend whether the paper should be included as part of the workshop. Draft papers will be accepted during the month of March 2022. The ongoing pandemic has created many challenges (including the postponement of this workshop, which was originally scheduled for 2020). The dynamic situation necessitates our collective flexibility, so we are committed to accommodating all researchers in 2022 by employing a hybrid format. Those presenters who are able will meet in Japan along with our colleagues at HCC 15. For some people, travelling may be impossible or uncomfortable, so we will provide a means for remote presentations. As we get closer to the workshop date, we will coordinate presentation modes with all accepted participants. At this time, it is not necessary to decide if you will present in-person or remotely. Questions may be addressed to the working group chair, Chris Leslie: chrisleslienyc(a)hotmail.com <mailto:chrisleslienyc@hotmail.com?subject=HCA%202022>. More information about the workshop and the working group is available at http://ifipwg97.org/workshops/hca2022/ <http://ifipwg97.org/workshops/hca2022/> Sincerely, Chris Leslie Chair, IFIP Working Group 9.7 - History of Computing

But we have not even started asking the right questions, let alone developed an understanding of the consequences. Urgently needed is debate that asks and answers fundamental questions about power. This book brings together critical interrogations of what constitutes AI, its impact and its inequalities in order to offer an analysis of what it means for AI to deliver benefits for everyone. To celebrate the publication of AI for Everyone? Critical Perspectives, join its editor Pieter Verdegem and a panel of its contributors to discuss some of the key contemporary themes in this exciting area. Panelists will include Willian Araújo, Angela Daly, Lina Dencik, Rafael Grohmann, Dan McQuillan, Jenna Ng, Carrie O'Connell, Rainer Rehak, James Steinhoff. AI for Everyone? Critical Perspectives is published open access by the University of Westminster Press: https://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/e/10.16997/book55/ Biography Pieter Verdegem is Senior Lecturer in Media Theory in the Westminster School of Media and Communication and a member of the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), University of Westminster. His research investigates the political economy of digital media and the impact of digital technologies on society. He is editor of AI for Everyone?

The Global Pandemic has now impacted our daily lives for a longer time than most of us would have imagined a year ago. In 2020, the Coalition's Session was entitled: "*Internet in Crisis Management and Renewal <https://archive.org/details/dc-civ2020>*" - and this Crisis has continued to be the past year's "new normal". The Internet's impact has increased dramatically in all aspects of everyone's lives. Technically, it has coped well with this increased use, but there have also been calls for increased control and regulation. The DC on Core Internet Values will discuss these developments and these calls for regulation --- and explore whether these break Core Internet Values - including a comparison with the *6F Framework <https://archive.org/download/dc-civ2020/dc-civ2020_Pisanty_SLIDES.pdf>*. *SPEAKERS* *Olivier Crépin-Leblond*, ISOC UK England *Olga Makarova*, MTS *Alison Harcourt*, University of Exeter *Bob Frankston* *Jutta Croll, *German Digital Opportunities Foundation. *Desiree Miloshevic*, Global Initiative for Human-centred Digital Governance *MODERATOR* *Alejandro Pisanty*, UNAM *RAPPORTEUR* *Sivasubramanian Muthusamy*, APG *LIVESTREAM http://livestream.com/internetsociety/dc-civ2021 <http://livestream.com/internetsociety/dc-civ2021>* *AGENDA https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2021-dc-civ-internet-regulation-… <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2021-dc-civ-internet-regulation-…>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3ye9flT <https://bit.ly/3ye9flT>* *REAL TIME TEXT https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-IGF-CR8 <https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-IGF-CR8>* *TWITTER #IGF2021 #coreinternetvalues #dcciv <https://bit.ly/31Rrvpf> @Olivier_CL lga Makarova @alieliale Desiree Miloshevic @BobFrankston Jutta Croll* SIMULCAST *https://youtu.be/duYfGeENup4 <https://bit.ly/31Rrvpf>* (IGF) *https://www.facebook.com/IntGovForum/live* <https://www.facebook.com/IntGovForum/live> *https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/ <https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/>* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive>* *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc <https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc>* *https://www.facebook.com/CoreInternetValues <https://www.facebook.com/CoreInternetValues>* *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/dc-civ2021 <https://archive.org/details/dc-civ2021>* *Permalink* https://isoc.live/14864/ - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

Apologies, the url got mangled by our institutional filters in the first post so I'm sending it as plain text. - - - Dear colleagues I'm happy to announce that we have just published our report on the Disrupting Digital Monolingualism workshop event which was held last year: https://zenodo.org/record/5743283 Subtitled 'A report on multilingualism in digital theory and practice', it summarises and analyses this virtual event which aimed to map the current state of multilingualism in digital theory and practice through, and across, languages and cultures. In recent years, various initiatives have aimed to address the challenges for digital linguistic diversity, including work on biocultural diversity, endangered languages, digital cultural studies, multilingual language technologies and global perspectives on digital humanities. This workshop aimed to strengthen connections between numerous overlapping digital and languages-driven conversations and initiatives. The report may interest those working on the following themes: 1. Linguistic and geocultural diversity in digital knowledge infrastructures 2. Working with multilingual methods and data 3. Transcultural and translingual approaches to digital study 4. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and NLP in language worlds The workshop was hosted by the Language Acts & Worldmaking project with the support of the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community project, both projects funded by the AHRC as part of its Open World Research Initiative.

This workshop aimed to strengthen connections between numerous overlapping digital and languages-driven conversations and initiatives. The report may interest those working on the following themes: 1. Linguistic and geocultural diversity in digital knowledge infrastructures 2. Working with multilingual methods and data 3. Transcultural and translingual approaches to digital study 4. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and NLP in language worlds The workshop was hosted by the Language Acts & Worldmaking project with the support of the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community project, both projects funded by the AHRC as part of its Open World Research Initiative.
