New Book: The People Are Not an Image: Vernacular Video After the Arab Spring
by peter snowdon 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Dear all, With the usual apologies for cross-posting, and for self-promotion, I'm happy to let you know that my book about the role of online video in the Arab revolutions of 2011-12, *The People Are Not an Image: Vernacular Video After the Arab Spring <https://www.versobooks.com/books/3680-the-people-are-not-an-image>,* will be published by Verso on 29 September (and not some time in August as the publisher's website suggests). *_There are 8 days left to take advantage of the current 40% discount on pre-orders through Verso._* You will find more information about the book itself below. Many thanks to all those on and off this list who have helped me hone these arguments over the last 9 years, including through our differences and disagreements. With good wishes to all in these ill-defined times, Peter Snowdon --- The People Are Not an Image Vernacular Video After the Arab Spring by Peter Snowdon <https://www.versobooks.com/authors/506-peter-snowdon> A major intervention in media studies theorises the politics and aesthetics of internet video The wave of uprisings and revolutions that swept the Middle East and North Africa between 2010 and 2012 were most vividly transmitted throughout the world not by television or even social media, but in short videos produced by the participants themselves and circulated anonymously on the internet. In *The People Are Not an Image*, Snowdon explores this radical shift in revolutionary self-representation, showing that the political consequences of these videos cannot be located without reference to their aesthetic form. Looking at videos from Tunisia, Bahrain, Syria, Libya, and Egypt, Snowdon attends closely to the circumstances of both their production and circulation, drawing on a wide range of historical and theoretical material, to discover what they can tell us about the potential for revolution in our time and the possibilities of video as a genuinely decentralised and vernacular medium. Reviews “Journalist, scholar, filmmaker, and maverick thinker, Peter Snowdon has written a fascinating and penetrating analysis of the Arab Spring’s 'vernacular videos' and their emancipatory function, offering illuminating insights that are likely to shake up cinema theory today much as these videos once cracked open the Arab world.” – Deirdre Boyle, Associate Professor of Media Studies, The New School and author of Subject to Change: Guerrilla Television Revisited “With The Uprising, a feature-length compilation of cell phone videos from the Arab revolutions, Peter Snowdon produced one of the great, if shamefully unknown, film works of the still young twenty-first Century. Revisiting his source material with admirable lucidity, the essays in The People Are Not an Image constitute a no less crucial and forward-looking work of cinematic exegesis. Together they represent a key development in the history of collective image-making.” – J. Hoberman, author of Make My Day: Movie Culture in the Age of Reagan “The anonymous videos of the 2010-2012 Arab uprisings, as reframed by this powerful and graceful book, are not documents of past events but performances that continue to live as they circulate online. Snowdon honors the videos as aesthetically complex works that, in the manner of a spiritual devotion, bring into being a collective body—one that just might burst the state’s cruel grip.” – Laura U. Marks, author of Hanan al-Cinema: Affections for the Moving Image “Peter Snowdon has mapped out the topography of a hidden treasure, drawing our attention to the videos of Arab revolutions as what he calls the ‘vernacular anarchive’ of a momentous historic event otherwise withering away in the speed of post-truth amnesia. This is a revelatory book, indispensable for our understanding of what happened in the course of the Arab Revolutions when we were not paying proper attention.” – Hamid Dabashi author of The Arab Spring: The End of Postcolonialism “Snowdon combines narratives of personal encounters, without which no tale of a revolution can be complete, with a sophisticated analysis of the ways of seeing a complex, fast moving reality, and contemporary critical analysis. Combining the experience of filmmaking and the everyday dialectics of rebellion during the Arab uprisings of 2011, this book should appeal to anyone interested in the relation between image and protest, street and screen, ordinary life and extraordinary mobilization, feeling of personhood and sense historical relevance, and subjectivity in times of revolution.” – Mohammed Bamyeh, author of Social Sciences in the Arab World and Anarchy as Order https://www.versobooks.com/books/3680-the-people-are-not-an-image

CFP AAG 2021: Re-spatializing Digital Labor
by ryan burns 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

*Re-spatializing Digital Labor* Organizers: Ryan Burns and Luke Bergmann Annual Meeting of the American Association of Geographers, Seattle, WA, April 7-11, 2021 It is now an urgent moment for geographers to revisit how we think of the spaces of digital labor. By now, the platforms mediating and organizing work are well-known, and their implications increasingly theorized. UberEats, Lyft, Didi Chuxing, and Fiverr scaffold the gig economy wherein workers perform ad hoc jobs delegated through the platform; Yelp, Amazon, Baidu, and OpenStreetMap coordinate volunteered data production; and tech workers for major corporations like Google, Apple, Tesla, and Alibaba reshape regional political-economies. The geographies of this digital labor are critical to understanding its social, political, and economic implications, but scholars have primarily made sense of its geographies by engaging narrow conceptions of "space" and "labor" that obscure important relations and processes. Digital labor is often understood to occur within Euclidean geometries, under the premise of remuneration, and through Marxian conceptions of value. At the same time, digital labor discussions often under-theorize immaterial and affective labor, attentional economies, and moral economies. A more planetary view of digital labour would further draw out its uneven geographies -- with geopolitical implications -- and emphasize new empirical imperatives such as diversifying case studies or mobilizing comparative approaches. In short, broadening the purview of what digital labor is and where it happens can challenge some of the conceptual framings that have driven digital labor studies to date. This session seeks to rethink the spatial frameworks through which geographers grasp work conducted in and through the digital. In turn, we hope to reclaim many forms of (digital) work whose spatialities have occluded them from our attention. We welcome interdisciplinary submissions from scholars looking broadly at the intersections of space, labor, and the digital, and their combined social, political, and economic implications. Themes of submissions could relate, but not be limited, to: -Relational, representational, networked, hybrid, or topological spaces of digital labor -Immaterial digital labor of affects, emotions, and "experiences" -Spaces of/in/for/through digital social reproduction -(Re)visualizing non-Euclidean geometries of digital labor -Moral economies producing spaces for digital labor and its commodification -Attentional economies and their spatialities, political-economies, and epistemological framings -Automation of digital labor: its spatial technologies, socio-political technologies, and the digital-material spaces for their manifestations -Valorized practices of non-work, like games, CAPTCHA, information search, play, and communication -Using digital labor to question static regional-geographic categories like "Global South" and "territory" To be considered for inclusion in this session, please email your abstract of 250 words to ryan.burns1(a)ucalgary.ca and luke.bergmann(a)ubc.ca by *October 19, 2020*. Please note that the deadline for registering and submitting your abstract in the AAG system is October 29th, 2020.

Dear colleagues, I hope this email finds you well. The virtual conference of The International Journal of Press/Politics starts today<https://cristianvaccari.com/2020/07/21/program-of-the-2020-international-jo…>, with more than 500 participants from 74 different countries. To celebrate what I hope will be a global conversation around media and politics, we have put together a special collection of articles published in the journal in the past few years that focus on media and politics in the so-called Global South and in a global perspective. The special collection is available at https://journals.sagepub.com/page/hij/research-perspectives and you can find the list of the articles and direct links to them below. I hope you will find this initiative useful. Please feel free to share this email with anyone you think might be interested. If you can join us for at least part of the conference, please sign up for free at any time via https://t.co/eXY83mmtyD?amp=1. ********************************************************************************************** Media and Politics in the Global South and in Global Perspective A special edited collection by The International Journal of Press/Politics.
