AoIR 2021 - Thank you
by Jones, Steve 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

I want to say thank you to those who put on and participated in this year’s (and last year’s) conference and kept the AoIR community thriving and alive. The gratitude I feel is beyond words. As importantly, the gratitude I feel for everyone who has participated, whether on the executive committee, with conference organizing, conference participation, or conversation on air-l, is immense. The past… nearly two years now, too, too long… have been difficult in so many ways for so many people and continue to challenge us, but the spirit of care, community and collaboration that has been the hallmark of AoIR has continued to be an inspiration. I wish you all the best and I will hope to see as many of you as possible at the next meeting that I fervently hope will take place in person in Dublin, Ireland. Steve Jones

New book: “Fantasy, Online Misogyny and the Manosphere: Male Bodies of Dis/Inhibition” + book launch
by Jacob Johanssen 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

I am pleased to inform you that my book is published this week. Please join the virtual book launch on 04 November. *Fantasy, Online Misogyny and the Manosphere Male Bodies of Dis/Inhibition (Routledge)* With a preface by Klaus Theweleit Published in the Psychoanalysis and Popular Culture Series (edited by Caroline Bainbridge and Candida Yates) https://www.routledge.com/Fantasy-Online-Misogyny-and-the-Manosphere-Male-B… This book presents the first in-depth study of online misogyny and the manosphere from a psychoanalytic perspective. The author argues that the men of the manosphere present contradictory thoughts, desires and fantasies about women which include but also go beyond misogyny. They are in a state of dis/inhibition: torn between (un)conscious forces and fantasies which erupt and are defended against. Dis/inhibition shows itself in self-victimization and defensive apathy as well as toxic agency and symbolic power and expresses itself in desire for and hatred of other bodies. The text draws on the psychoanalytic thinkers Klaus Theweleit, Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, Jessica Benjamin and Wilhelm Reich to present detailed analyses of the communities within the so-called manosphere, including incels, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), alt-right YouTubers and NoFap users. Drawing on wider discussions about the status of sexuality in contemporary neoliberal technoculture since the sexual revolution of the late 1960s, it illuminates how sexuality, racism and images of the white male body shape the fantasies and affects of many men on the internet and beyond. Integrating a unique theoretical framework to help understand how today’s increase in online misogyny relates to the alt-right and fascism*, Online Misogyny and the Manosphere *is an important resource for academics in a variety of fields including psychoanalysis, media and communication studies, internet studies, masculinity research and more. *Table of Contents:* Series Preface Preface by Klaus Theweleit Introduction: A Psychoanalysis of the Manosphere 1. Male Fascist Bodies – Then and Now 2. The Sexual Revolution, the Manosphere and (Post)Feminism 3. The Backlash against the Sexual Revolution on YouTube 4. Incels and Fantasies of Destroying/Desiring the Other 5. Men Going Their Own Way – MGTOW: Woman shall (not) Exist 6. The Manifestos of Mass Shooters and the Absent Father 7. NoFap: Masturbation, Porn and Phallic Fragility Conclusion: From Dis/Inhibition to Recognition – A Space for Hope? *Virtual Book Launch: 04 November, 6-8pm BST* https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-launch-fantasy-online-misogyny-and-the-ma… Speakers: Professor Candida Yates (Bournemouth University) Professor John Mercer (Birmingham City University) Associate Professor Diego Semerene (University of Amsterdam) *Endorsements* "Jacob Johanssen examines today's relevant 'fascist' men and their murderous actions in the light of the older as well as the newer research literature; thinks further newer psycho-analytic concepts and brings them in relation to the changed technological nature of today's world—greatest thanks for this gigantic work."* – From the Preface by Klaus Theweleit, author of *Male Fantasies "Jacob Johanssen’s *Fantasy, Online Misogyny and the Manosphere: Male Bodies of Dis/Inhibition *is a timely and welcome addition to the growing body of scholarship on anti-feminist formations online. This vibrant psychosocial study explores the psychodynamics of anti-feminist groups and their members, but always within a broader sociological context. Such an approach is especially important for understanding radicalisation processes, which are shaped by complex experiences, fantasies and expressions, as well as by the socio-political factors that enable and amplify misogyny. Johanssen’s study neither defuses nor excuses their misogyny, but rather demonstrates how personal contradictions, incoherencies and ambivalences become channelled into extreme and hateful forms of political dogma. Always attendant to the contextual complexities of neoliberal capitalism, data-driven politics and the dynamics of the alt-right, *Fantasy, Online Misogyny and the Manosphere *enriches our understanding of white male supremacism by adding new lenses and perspectives through which to view the fantasies that drive this increasingly sinister political reality." – *Debbie Ging, Associate Professor of Media Studies, Dublin City University.* "In a time of political polarisation and multiplying hatreds in the ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ worlds – a division that now holds little value – Jacob Johanssen’s book is an important guide to some of the most disturbing elements of the ‘manosphere’. Addressing the startling rhetoric of incels, MGTOWs, NoFaps and others, Johanssen offers historical context, social and political insight and, most of all, a thorough psychoanalytic reading of this significant and dangerous contemporary arena for the expression of toxic masculinities." – *Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychosocial Studies, Birkbeck (University of London).* "Jacob Johanssen’s *Fantasy, Online Misogyny and the Manosphere* could hardly be a more timely intervention in debates around contemporary masculinities and misogyny in the digital sphere. In this beautifully written and scrupulously researched book Johannsen draws together the disparate communities that comprise what is now known as the ‘manopshere’ and its discontents. The author’s intention, spectacularly realised, is to construct a psychosocial analysis of online misogyny and its connections to fantasy, affect and desire. Given the growth in spaces where these practices take place, in spite of (or perhaps in reaction to) a cultural context in which sexism is increasingly challenged and under threat, a study such as this makes a very necessary contribution to the growing field of literature tackling online misogyny. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the emergence, mechanics and practices of the ‘manosphere’ and wider cultures of and practices of pernicious toxic masculinity." – *John Mercer, Professor of Gender and Sexuality, Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research* "A painful, yet highly necessary, read for any feminist and antiracist, Johanssen’s complex study of the online manosphere illustrates the deeply contradictory relationship of misogynistic men to their own identities, desires, fantasies, and dis/inhibitions. Through his poignant analysis of how misogynistic aggression often hides intense insecurity and fragility, Johanssen demonstrates that the world would be a better place if misogynistic men—along with everyone else—understood what Jacques Lacan emphasized, namely that nobody possesses the phallus, that phallic power is a purely illusory construct with no real-life referent. A recognition of this simple fact would open a way toward less toxic masculinities and a way out of the ‘us vs. them’ mentality that continues to poison the gendered terrain of contemporary life." – *Mari Ruti, Distinguished Professor of Critical Theory and of Gender and Sexuality Studies, University of Toronto*

CCDS Friday October 22nd: talk by Heather Evans,
by Jeff Hemsley 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

The Center for Computational and Data Sciences presents Virtual Research Talk with Dr. Heather Evans, Friday, October 22 12:00-1:00 PM EST, titled Women Belong in the (U.S.) House: The Influence of Gender on Issue Discussion on Twitter. This talk is free and open to the public. Please do use the link below to register for the event. https://forms.gle/Kha1thT7T3ZUAnsR7 Women Belong in the (U.S.) House: The Influence of Gender on Issue Discussion on Twitter Previous work in the area of gender and social media has shown that women campaign and market themselves online very differently than men. While female candidates are more likely to discuss certain types of issues (like education and healthcare) in their campaigns, some research has shown that as more women are added to a congressional race, less attention is paid to those "women's issues." Given the steady increase in the number of women running for office and the increasing saliency of "women's issues" in American politics over the past few years, are female candidates continuing to market themselves differently than their male competitors in U.S. House races on Twitter? Heather K. Evans is the John Morton Beaty Professor of Political Science at the University of Virginia's College at Wise. Her primary research interests are political engagement, competitive congressional elections, social media (Twitter) and the effect of entertainment media on political attitudes. She is the author of "Competitive Elections and Democracy in America: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" (Routledge), which explores both the positive and negative side-effects of increasing competitiveness in congressional elections. Her edited volumes, "Community Engagement Findings Across the Disciplines: Applying Course Concepts to Community Needs" and "Community Engagement Best Practices Across the Disciplines: Applying Course Concepts to Community Needs" were published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2017 and 2018 and examine service learning experiences across the various disciplines. Heather is also the host of "Red, White, and Confused," which airs weekly on WEHC 90.7 FM (also available by podcast). Our next CCDS talk will be from Anders Olof Larsson, Friday Nov 19th, 12 PM. A more detailed announcement will follow soon. Today even!

CfC - The Chiptune Studies Reader
by m.polymeropoulou＠gmail.com 17 Oct '21

17 Oct '21

With apologies for crossposting Dear Colleagues, We are excited to announce that we are seeking contributions for The Chiptune Studies Reader, an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed and edited volume on chiptune - or 'chipmusic' and 'micromusic' as it is also known - which we intend to publish through Oxford University Press. Rooted in the emergence of video game audio technology, and subsequently re-routed through the subversive musicality of an underground participatory culture, chiptune is a form of electronic music that has blossomed into a global phenomenon over the course of nearly four decades. Today, the umbrella term 'chiptune' subsumes an ever-growing plethora of (sub)genres, practices, and a heterogeneous worldwide following, whose musical output is as creatively playful and diverse as it is distinct by way of its mediation. Chiptune's technologies, timbral palettes, and associated iconography have grown rapidly in their accessibility, playability, and ubiquity, and have become woven into pop-cultural imaginaries far beyond their own humble beginnings in the music of video games' past. When compared to other fields of research into music and multimedia (sub)cultures, however, chiptune has received limited scholarly attention. Typically, this attention focuses on tracing the roots and routes of chiptune's rich techno-cultural history, and the documentation of the kinds of discourses that circulate among its practitioners and their affiliated chipscenes. Our proposed volume sets out to broaden the scope of chiptune scholarship by providing a range of analytical perspectives on the subject. Proposals for chapters that explore chiptune's rich history and its various discourses are still welcome, but we are especially keen for scholarship that explores chiptune in-situ of performance, play, and listening: the in-betweens of chiptune's roots and routes, and the interactivity between humans, technologies and timbres in the process. To that end, we are looking for contributions that explore chiptune's musical performativity, embodiment and immersion, creative processes, and the relationship between chip-musicality and its diverse (sub)cultures. Chapters might address - but are not limited to - the following themes: . (Ludo)musicological analyses of chiptune (particularly with a focus on the factor of play) . Critical analyses of the relationship between chiptune and identity (for instance: themes of belonging, community, embodiment, gender, politics, ethnicity, nationality, and sexuality) . (Auto)ethnographic explorations of chiptune's musical performativity, embodiment and immersion, its chipscenes, and its discourses . Chiptune and accessibility/disability studies . The relationship between chiptune and nostalgia . Historical accounts of chiptune . Chiptune composition techniques . Chiptune, context, (sub)genre, and intertextuality . Chiptune and literacy, education, and pedagogy . The political economy of chiptune, anti-capitalist sentiment, netlabels, intellectual property, and commodification . How chiptune discourses shape its musical practices and performativity (for instance: themes of 'authenticity' and 'originality') . The networking of (g)local and global chipscenes . Chiptune and dance culture . The life/death/resurrection of online chiptune communities and places of activity . The materiality of chiptune and/or chiptune as material culture (for instance: fetishization of hardware/software, continuities of chipmusic-making objects) . Statements from chiptune practitioners and fans (shorter contributions than articles) The invitation to submit an abstract is open to scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, as well as chiptune practitioners and fans. Chapter abstracts should be no longer than 500 words, excluding bibliography, and should be accompanied by a brief biographical note of no longer than 150 words. Completed proposals should be sent to the editors, Marilou Polymeropoulou and George Reid, at thisischipmusic(a)gmail.com <mailto:thisischipmusic@gmail.com> by 21/12/2021. Contributors can expect to receive a response by 21/1/2022. Completed chapters should be between 6000 - 8000 words in length and practitioners' statements should be between 250 - 800 words. These will be due by 1/9/2022, after which we will begin the review process. Should you have any questions, please get in touch with us via the email listed above.
