CfP: COVID vs. Digital Libraries
by Mihály Héder 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Dear All, please consider CALL FOR PAPERS for our Special Issue on *Impact of COVID-19 in Digital Libraries and E-books* The journal *InfTars* (In Hungarian: Információs Társadalom, meaning “Information Society”), ISSN: 1587-8694, established in 2001, aims to provide a venue for research and discussion of the theories and applications of Information Society Studies. Among others, *Web of Science Social Sciences Citation Index* (*SSCI*) and *Scopus* indexes the journal. The journal is fully Open Access, the authors retain the copyright under Creative Commons 4.0 BY-NC-SA. There are no fees of any kind for authors. Article Submission Due *25th March, 2021 * Author Notification *30th April, 2021 * Revised Article Due *30th May, 2021 * Final Notification *27th June, 2021 * Publication *InfTars 2021/4 * *Submission info*: https://inftars.infonia.hu/submit.php The impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) is not only an overwhelming challenge to global health workers, but it harms individuals of humankind. As the world responds to this global pandemic with numerous preventive measures, most of the governments around the globe have temporarily closed schools and colleges for the welfare of the nation. These circumstances encourage the transition from traditional learning methodologies to distance learning paradigms. In response to the transition measures, students and teachers across the world have started focusing on E-books and e-learning standards. As a result, all around the globe, virtual libraries find themselves in the lead role of making this transition happen, with an unprecedented need for digital resources and knowledge sharing facilities. Perhaps the crisis of COVID-19 provides the critical mass to digital libraries, creating the potential for tremendous advantages. One of those is that digital libraries may be transformed from a merely technically enhanced source of knowledge to a more distinct public good. In more precise terms, for the time being, it has become the only source of knowledge to promote human development. Looking forward, it is undoubtful that the growth of the digital library will be of exponential rate in the coming years. Also, it is predicted that this growth will be further facilitated by the increased explosion of global trends such as smartphone penetration, personal computers, and several other information and communication technology-related reading devices. Additionally, it offers an effective learning environment worldwide and forms an active part of sustainable development in education and technology. Despite the advantages, there is a possibility that the digital library platforms are subject to various security and privacy threats with an increasing number of digital users. Also, this rapid proliferation of E-learning methodologies will loom large over every aspect of technology and innovation at digital libraries. With an intent to explore the implications of COVID-19 (both pros & cons) over digital libraries & E-books and to find required solutions and advancements, we call for this special issue. We welcome researchers and practitioners from various disciplines to bring novel and innovative solutions to tackle the impacts of COVID-19 over digital libraries and E-books. List of topics for the special issue include but not limited to the following: - The impact of COVID-19 over information management in digital libraries - The impact of COVID-19 over digital library from a technological perspective - The impact of COVID-19 over the digital libraries in terms of security and privacy concerns - The impact of COVID-19 over the digital library in terms of legal and regulatory policies - The innovations in information management to tackle the effects of COVID-19 - The impact of COVID-19 over social interactions and community development in digital libraries - Emerging agenda for digital library & E-books in terms of information management - Advances in information and communication technology to tackle the effects of COVID-19 over the digital library - Advances in knowledge management for digital library - Advances in information design and delivery services to meet the increasing demands of digital library - Effective ways to collect, store, and disseminate information across digital libraries to meet the needs of growing users *Guest Editors* *Dr. Seifedine Kadry* Associate Professor Department of Mathematics and Computer Science *Beirut Arab University - Beirut Campus* Tarik El Jadida, Beirut, Lebanon *s.kadry(a)bau.edu.lb <s.kadry(a)bau.edu.lb> * http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=EAVEmg0AAAAJ https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Seifedine_Kadry/ *Dr. Yu-Dong Zhang (Eugene) * Professor, Department of Informatics, *University of Leicester*, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK *yz461(a)le.ac.uk <yz461(a)le.ac.uk> * https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=A5lgIN8AAAAJ https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Yu_Dong_Zhang/ *Dr. Shuai Li * Assistant Professor – Research, Department of Computing, *The Hong Kong Polytechnic University*, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. *shuaili(a)polyu.edu.hk <shuaili(a)polyu.edu.hk> * https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Shuai_Li118 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/author/37085493933 *Dr. Laszlo Z.

OUT NOW: book "COVID-19 from the Margins" (free download)
by Stefania Milan 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Dear AoiR colleagues apologies for cross-posting but we can't wait to share the news! We are delighted to announce the publication of the edited volume "COVID-19 from the Margins: Pandemic Invisibilities, Policies and Resistance in the Datafied Society”! This book is a labor of love, featuring 75 authors writing in 5 languages (besides English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Italian), in 282 pages that amplify the silenced voices of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is published in the Theory on Demand series of the Amsterdam-based Institute of Network Cultures headed by Geert Lovink. We are particularly proud because the book is open access. The author list includes several AoiR members, and our President Lynn Schofield Clark wrote a passionate endorsement <3 The .pdf and .epub versions can be downloaded from https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/covid-19-from-the-margins-pand…. You can use the same link to order a printed copy for free (while supplies last, after which the book will be print-on-demand). The book is a multilingual conversation that celebrates linguistic and cultural diversity but also de-centers dominant ways of being and knowing while contributing a decolonial approach to the narration of the COVID-19 crisis. Moreover, it brings researchers, activists, practitioners, and communities on the ground into dialogue to offer timely, critical reflections in near-real time and in an accessible language. The result is a heterogeneous, polycentric and pluriversal narration, which invites the reader to enact and experience the “Big data from the South(s)” approach as an interpretive lens to read the pandemic. Authors include: Claudio Agosti, Thomas Aureliani, Anat Ben-David, Anna Berti Suman, Luiza Bialasiewicz, Nic Bidwell, Tiziano Bonini, Jelke Bosma, Olga Bronnikova, Diego Cerna Aragón, Herkulaas MVE Combrink, Donna Cormack, Arianna Cortesi, Angela Daly, Soumyo Das, Françoise Daucé, Philip Di Salvo, Alexandra Elliott, Ksenia Ermoshina, Marta Espuny Contreras, Maria Faust, Nicolas Foster, Peter Füssy, Larissa Galdino de Magalhães Santos, Alex Gekker, Ana Maria R.

We will use an informal discussion format to talk about his recent book "Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice From AfroNet to Black Lives Matter" (Oxford UP). Recently hailed as "thought provoking" (NPR) and "utterly compelling" (New Scientist), the book led PC Magazine to write the headline: "Tech History Is More Than Just 'White, Male Wizards.'" Among other important questions, McIlwain asks, "Will technological tools ever enable us to outrun white supremacy?" This event is open to the public, so please feel free to forward this note if you know of anyone else who would be interested. I hope you will join me there! Christian --- HOW TO PARTICIPATE Watch on YouTube live during the event at: http://umsi.info/charlton TITLE Smash the Mainframe: The Collision Between Civil Rights and Computing SPEAKERS A conversation with Charlton McIlwain, Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU and Christian Sandvig, Director of ESC, University of Michigan DATE / TIME / LOCATION Online via YouTube February 2, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm Times are shown in Eastern Time SPEAKER BIOS Charlton McIlwain is Vice Provost for Faculty Engagement and Development and Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU. His recent work focuses on the intersections of race, digital media, and racial justice activism. His latest book, Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice, >From the AfroNet to Black Lives Matter, reveals the hidden figures -- from the 1960s to the present -- who fought the power and sparked a revolution in computing technology. Charlton will explore how “smashing the mainframe” became the way to articulate and demonstrate the clash between civil rights and computing in the 1960s. Moreover, his talk will address what that moment in history can teach us about how to fight back against today’s technological threats to racial justice. Christian Sandvig is Director of the Center for Ethics, Society, and Computing (ESC) and H. Marshall McLuhan Collegiate Professor of Information, Communication & Media.

Subject: “AI & the Human” conference and submission deadline postponed due the ongoing pandemic: New submission deadline 20 September 2021 – New conference date Thursday 12 and Friday 13 May 2022.
by Steven Mark Champion 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

We are sorry to inform you that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the conference “Artificial Intelligence and the Human – Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Science and Fiction” will not take place in June 2021 as originally planned. For the organisers it is very important to hold the international conference as an in-person event. The continued uncertainty regarding travel restrictions and vaccinations led us to the decision to push the conference date back to 12 and 13 May 2022. The deadline for submissions of the extended abstracts is postponed to 20 September 2021. C A L L F O R P A P E R S Conference and edited volume Artificial intelligence and the human – Cross-cultural perspectives on science and fiction A Japanese-German conference in Berlin, Germany 12 and 13 May 2022 & Edited volume (2023) Current debates on artificial intelligence often conflate the realities of AI technologies with the fictional renditions of what they might one day become. They are said to be able to learn, make autonomous decisions or process information much faster than humans, which raises hopes and fears alike. What if these useful technologies will one day develop their own intentions that run contrary to those of humans? The line between science and fiction is becoming increasingly blurry: what is already a fact, what is still only imagination; and is it even possible to make this clear-cut distinction? Innovation and development goals in the field of AI are inspired by popular culture, such as its portrayal in literature, comics, film or television. At the same time, images of these technologies drive discussions and set particular priorities in politics, business, journalism, religion, civil society, ethics or research. Fictions, potentials and scenarios inform a society about the hopes, risks, solutions and expectations associated with new technologies. But what is more, the discourses on AI, robots and intelligent, even sentient machines are nothing short of a mirror of the human condition: they renew fundamental questions on concepts such as consciousness, free will and autonomy or the ways we humans think, act and feel. Imaginations about the human and technologies are far from universal, they are culturally specific. This is why a cross-cultural comparison is crucial for better understanding the relationship between AI and the human and how they are mutually constructed by uncovering those aspects that are regarded as natural, normal or given. Focusing on concepts, representations and narratives from different cultures, the conference aims to address two axes of comparison that help us make sense of the diverse realities of artificial intelligence and the ideas of what is human: Science and fiction, East Asia and the West. Papers are invited on the following topics (among others): - Which meanings and functions are ascribed to AI technologies and robots? - How is science informed by popular discursive images of AI? - Which cultural differences are there concerning the relationship between the natural and the artificial? What are the particular traditions of how to represent the human and its technological surrogates? - What can the different cultural and conceptual histories tell us about our present and future with artificial intelligence? Besides papers on these more general topics, we also invite case studies on innovative technologies and their fictional precursors as well as on the social, ethical or political contexts in which they are applied. All contributions are expected to address the comparative perspective on East Asian and Euro-American discourses. Relevant issues and perspectives for these comparisons include but are not limited to cyberpunk and science-fiction in literature and film, public debates and imaginations of AI, the relation between simulation and reality, materiality, historical and legal accounts, sociotechnical imaginaries and politics. We welcome contributions from scholars of diverse disciplines, such as cognitive science, computer science, cultural studies, literature and film studies, media and communication studies, psychology, political science, science and technology studies or sociology. Interdisciplinary approaches (e.g., those combining social, cultural and technical perspectives), as well as perspectives from practitioners and developers, are particularly encouraged. Submission process - Extended abstracts of approximately 4,000 to 6,000 characters in length (excl. references) should be submitted no later than 20 September 2021 to ai21(a)hiig.de - Speakers will be notified by 15 November 2021. Conference and publication of selected papers in an edited volume - The conference will take place on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 May 2022 in Berlin. - Invitations for the submission of selected full manuscripts sent out in June 2022. - Full manuscripts of between 30.000 to 50.000 characters (excluding references) to be submitted by September 2022. - Comprehensive review returned to authors in December 2022; final papers due in February 2023. - The edited volume will be published in mid-2023.

New podcast series: Media, Technology & Culture
by Scott Rodgers 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Dear all, I am getting in touch to publicise a new podcast series I am producing, Media, Technology & Culture, hosted at my (new) podcast channel Publicly Sited<https://publiclysited.podbean.com/>. It takes a thematic look at media, understood as technologies, exploring both histories and more recent developments – and not always necessarily in a linear progression. Though it’s aimed principally at students in my second-year undergraduate module of the same name, I’m putting in out publicly as a resource to a broader range of users and audiences. The series is now four episodes in, with topics covered so far including technology and culture, communication and transportation, domestication theory, and liveness. There will be 10 episodes in all, with future instalments on computation, infrastructure, ubiquitous technologies, participatory cultures, algorithmic systems and digital capitalism. In this blog post I offer some reflections<https://www.publiclysited.com/new-podcast-series-media-technology-culture/> on the inception of the series, thoughts on how it’s taking shape so far, and its future evolution. You can subscribe via Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Pandora and elsewhere… Very best, Scott
