Deadline extended - JCEA special issue on Ethical Pluralism and Intercultural Information Ethics in Asian Contexts
by Charles M. Ess 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Dear AoIRists, with the usual regrets for cross-postings and duplications, and request to forward to potentially relevant mailing lists and interested colleagues. Deadline extended - Special Issue: Ethical Pluralism and Intercultural Information Ethics in Asian Contexts Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia (JCEA), Vol 20, No 1 - Summer 2021 Invited editor: Charles M. Ess, University of Oslo (c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no) The early 1990s and the Internet’s rise as an engine of globalization forced a central task upon emerging Intercultural Information Ethics (IIE): how to conceptualize and implement a global information and computing ethics conjoining (quasi-) universal ethical norms and principles with a robust defense of local, culturally variable identities and practices? Discourses pitting a homogeneous imposition of Western values and norms against resistance to such homogenization for defending local cultural identities, but at the cost of potential fragmentation and isolation, first forced these issues. Increasing recognition of “computer-mediated colonization” – as Western-centric cultural norms and communicative preferences, embedded in ICT design, were imposed upon “target” cultures – made these concerns still more urgent. In response, ethical pluralisms (EPs), as conceptualizing connections (such as shared norms) preserving irreducible local differences, were developed and successfully implemented in both Western and non-Western contexts. But Western-based EPs remain open to critique. In Asia, EP is integral to conceptions of resonance and harmony in Daoist, Confucian, Buddhist, and Islamic traditions. Furthermore, Chinese and Indian technological innovation hubs have also emerged, grounding further exploration of Asian-rooted conceptions of EP, resonance, and harmony, which remain central to an IIE opposing colonizing adaptation of Western values and norms in Non-western cultures. These are especially critical vis-à-vis the ongoing encroachment of advanced ICTs, e.g. AI, Big Data, the IoT, “surveillance capitalism” and the Chinese Social Credit System, as increasingly defining our cultural lives. Our primary questions: what sorts of EP and similar notions of resonance or harmony might help resolve these central problems in the contemporary developments of (East) Asia? And: do earlier IIE traditions and evaluation of “radical” technologies fruitfully respond to even “more radical” emerging ICT challenges evoked by contemporary, far more powerful ICTs? This special issue of the JCEA invites papers that deal with theoretical and practical dimensions of EP, notions of harmony and resonance in contemporary Asian contexts, and/or traditional/recent resonances of ICT-related challenges. We are particularly interested in but not limited to: · Critical evaluations and possible expansions of contemporary EP, especially as oriented towards / grounded in (East) Asian contexts · Concrete examples of EP in praxis – whether successful or not in sustaining shared norms and irreducible local differences in (East) Asian contexts · Theoretical and practical explorations of (East) Asian relatives of Western-centric pluralisms from Confucian, Buddhist, and other local traditions – e.g., of resonance, harmony, etc. – that might offer advantages over EP on both theoretical and practical grounds. Please submit your 500-word abstract (maximum) in English to c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no by October 15, 2020 (subject line should include “JCEA Special Issue”). Deadlines Abstract Submission: October 15, 2020 Abstract Notification: November 15, 2020 Article Submission: December 31, 2020 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: March 15, 2021 Final submission of revised papers: June 1, 2021 For more information about the JCEA, refer to https://jceasia.org/ Many thanks and best regards, charles ess -- Professor Emeritus Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Fellow, Siebold-Collegiums Institute for Advanced Studies, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany Co-chair & Editor, Internet Research Ethics 3.0 <https://aoir.org/reports/ethics3.pdf> 3rd edition of Digital Media Ethics now out: <http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509533428> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no

Webinar: “Events” in the Post-“Information” Age
by Natalia Grincheva 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

*** With apologies for x-posting*** You are welcome to attend the following webinar: *September 25: “Events” in the Post-“Information” Age* A/Professor Julia Sonnevend and Dr. Bernard Geoghegan Will the word information acquire new meanings under the pressure of technological transformations caused by the Covid-19 digital lockdown? How will people understand, define and experience major or minor events when they are limited to virtual encounters, online meetings and social media catch-ups? The webinar will interrogate old meanings and explore emerging connotations of what becomes information and whither the nature of an event in the seamless enfolding of the two in the online world. *Register here:* https://arts.unimelb.edu.au/research/digital-studio/programs/seminar-series… *Date & time:* September 25, 2020 New York (Eastern Daylight Time): 8:00 AM London (Greenwich Mean Time +1): 1:00 PM Melbourne (Australian Eastern Standard Time): 10:00 PM This webinar is a part of the series: *Redefining Digital Keywords* *From Digital Archaisms to (Post)Pandemic Neologisms* (Digital Studio, the University of Melbourne) *Register here: * https://arts.unimelb.edu.au/research/digital-studio/programs/seminar-series *Synopsis:* In 2016 Benjamin Peters published his edited collection *Digital Keywords* <https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691167336/digital-keywords> (Princeton University Press). With provocative short essays from international digital media scholars in anthropology, history, political science, philosophy, religious studies, rhetoric, science and technology studies, and sociology, the book explored and critiqued the rich vocabulary of the growing field of digital humanities on 25 keywords, ranging from meme to surrogate, from forum to mirror, from cloud to digital. The pandemic outbreak has challenged and reconfigured human experience across physical, social and digital realities, and hence urges us to revisit our digital keywords vocabulary. This global webinar series will bring together leading digital humanities scholars to reflect upon their original contributions to the *Digital Keywords. *Each webinar will focus on two digital phenomena and their corresponding keywords to explore how their meanings are changing in the face of disruptions caused by lockdowns or social distancing, and what new cultural practices, social challenges and political implications emerge around the new digital vocabulary. Series curated by Dr Natalia Grincheva (Digital Studio Senior Research Fellow). *Schedule* *October 9: “Geeking” and “Prototyping” the “New Normal”* A/Professor Christina Dunbar-Hester and Professor Fred Turner Could we imagine and prototype human life in the post-pandemic world? Will geeks rule in the emerging social conditions of the new normal, or will they simply become extinct in the digital mainstreaming of daily life? The webinar will tackle the question of human typologies in new social formations and online networks. *October 23: “Sharing” and “Gaming” in the Post-pandemic World* Dr. Nicholas A. John and Professor Saugata Bhaduri How do we share online versus offline and what games can we play when limited within digital reality? What are the consequences on our health and well-being of non-stop digital sharing of our lives and emotions? And is it possible to transfer sport matches, games, and even such world sport mega-events as the Olympics into the digital world? The webinar will aim to answer these questions in conversation with Dr Nicholas A. John and Professor Saugata Bhaduri. *November 6: “Zooming” In and Out to Examine the “Virus”* Professor Jodie McVernon and Professor Sean Cubitt What new meanings of words such as zoom and virus did the Convid-19 outbreak instigate? How did we move from ‘Google it’ to ‘Let’s Zoom’, and what are the economic and political implications of platform-imperialism in the time of the 24/7 digital communication? What are the real and potential powers of online and biological viruses to disrupt, challenge, improve or destroy human life? The final webinar will facilitate a cross-disciplinary conversation between researchers at the University of Melbourne to share insights on the role of digital technologies in the current pandemic with its consequences for moral, social and physical being.

Call for Papers/Participation: Against Platform Determinism
by Robyn Caplan 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Dear all, Data & Society is hosting our first *online* Academic Workshop, Against Platform Determinism: How institutions, individuals, and infrastructures mediate platform power. <https://datasociety.net/announcements/2020/09/15/call-for-participants-agai…> Applications are due on* October 21st, *and the event itself will take place on *Thursday, January 14, 2021*. More about the workshop: This workshop invites scholars to consider how interactions with platform companies do or do not shape how technologies are designed, and deployed, and how global users are governed. Though platforms are centralized and powerful actors, this workshop is intended to explore the existing and emerging infrastructures, cultures, and organizational forms can shape decision-making and design or impede platforms’ implementation “on the ground.” These forces can include users of these platforms, industry actors, civil society organizations, and government, but it can also include how existing infrastructures—such as low connectivity areas—can mediate the impact of technology on communities. Scholars interested in this topic, from emerging to experts, academics to activists, all across the globe, are encouraged to apply. We’ll be selecting authors of *draft/in-progress papers*, as well as participants to help workshop the drafts. Ample time will be built in for networking and field building too. We're happy to answer questions at events(a)datasociety.net. Please consider applying and/or spreading the word! Thank you, Robyn Caplan, William Partin, and Meredith Clark

About a potential study on High School student's perception of YouTube videos
by Xanat Meza 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Hello, air members. In my current job teaching to High School level students, I left several assignments of watching videos and writing brief reports about their content and the impressions the students got from them. The videos were about astronomy and biology, and they either complemented or reviewed content taught in class (online). I am curious about the perception the students had on women scientists (the education we provide them is on the STEM side, so you can imagine most of them are male students); and on animations to explain complex processes (photosynthesis for example). They are over 200 students, so I thought I could do some sort of exploratory/ethnographic research with their data. However, when I consulted my colleague with whom I teach these classes, he told me the essays were not valid because students of this age (15-16) in this country barely understand English and would not be able to understand videos in English. He admitted that this time, as classes were online, he can not personally assess the students overall comprehension level. It is true that some students mentioned they had difficulty in understanding the videos (I read all their essays), but I noticed that certain aspects of the video (being animated and the speed of talk of the video host for example) made the content easier to understand. I am not sure if I did not explain my idea to my colleague clearly, as our backgrounds are very different. I also still have to talk with my Department Head about my idea. Anyway, in concrete, I would like to ask for suggestions on how to conduct a valuable research with the data we have, or if it would be better to focus in other types of data. Regards, Xanat V.

Geopolitics Jurisdiction Surveillance
by Monique Mann 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

Apologies if you receive multiple versions of this alert. New special issue of Internet Policy Review on ‘Geopolitics, Jurisdiction and Surveillance’ edited by Dr Monique Mann (Deakin) and Dr Angela Daly (Strathclyde). ABSTRACT The rise of digital information communication technology has major implications for how states wield coercive power beyond their territorial borders through the extraterritorial geographies of data flows. In examining the geopolitics of data, transnational surveillance, and jurisdiction, this collection makes a significant contribution to the field of global internet governance. It shows how the internet is a forum for geopolitical struggle with states weaponising jurisdiction and exerting power beyond their own borders directly, and via infrastructures owned and operated by transnational technology companies. These dynamics challenge existing conceptual and theoretical categories of contemporary law across the fields of international relations, criminology, and digital media, and raise urgent questions about if and how individual rights can be protected in an era of ubiquitous transnational surveillance conducted by private companies and governments alike. It contains 8 articles plus our editorial, and is open access here: https://policyreview.info/geopolitics-jurisdiction-surveillance Kind Regards, Monique, on behalf of Angela also Monique Mann PhD FHEA Senior Lecturer Criminology School of Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Education Deakin University Staff profile and publications<https://www.deakin.edu.au/about-deakin/people/monique-mann/_recache> Important Notice: The contents of this email are intended solely for the named addressee and are confidential; any unauthorised use, reproduction or storage of the contents is expressly prohibited.
