CfP: Borders, bordering and sovereignty in digital space // Online symposium // 2nd+3rd Sept
by Morris,CJ (pgr) 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

Dear all, Please find a CfP for an online symposium/workshop Chenchen Zhang and I are organising. The symposium builds on the three panels we had planned for the now postponed RGS conference and includes many of the original participants. The theme is broad, and we encourage interdisciplinary contributions from around the world. General details: * Date: September 2nd/3rd * CfP Deadline: June 30th * Flexible time slots for flexible time zones, though centred around GMT day * Pre-recorded videos acceptable * Ideally less intense and more time to talk, so two-day schedule * Open to public viewing * Main aim is to engage in a conversation on these topics * Additional aim is a special issue on the conference theme * Hosted by Dr Chenchen Zhang and Dr Carwyn Morris Please submit your abstract through this Google Form: https://forms.gle/Pgs1vh7iJY8EaX7u8 (if you have issues, please email c.j.morris(a)lse.ac.uk<mailto:c.j.morris@lse.ac.uk>) CFP: National borders continue to operate in the digital space despite predictions otherwise. Scholars have argued that the global communication space and the nation state are both oppositional and co-constituting forces in internet governance. Digital (cyber) borders are produced through, for instance, regulatory systems, jurisdictional assertions, censorship regimes, and discourses of digital sovereignty and digital security. While governments draw on concepts of sovereignty and national security to assert control over a digital space that seems essentially borderless, civil society actors have also sought to put forward ideas of digital sovereignty along the lines of freedom and self-determination. This online workshop aims to address theoretical and empirical questions regarding processes of (de)bordering, (de)territorialization and sovereignty in digital space. How are the concepts of sovereignty, territory, and borders reproduced and transformed in the context of the digital? What are the emerging patterns of power and contestation with regard to the control over data and information flows? How is the national border - digital or physical - being (re)produced or contested in digital space? How do digital borders, territory and sovereignty affect contentious politics? And how are spatial inequalities in knowledge production impacting our understanding of evolving socio-spatial relations? We especially welcome contributions that engage with critical perspectives on the concepts of sovereignty, territory, and borders such as those focused on performance, discourse/practice, and governmentality. Papers might explore the following themes: * The production of digital territories and borders through legal, technological, and other means * Firewalls, censorship regimes, internet disruptions * The territorialization of services, infrastructure and populations * Concepts and discourses of digital, cyber and data sovereignty * The geopolitics of data and internet control * Digital borders and data protection law * How borders and practices of territorialization in digital space are contested * The impact of territorialization and bordering on populations * Conceptual and theoretical contributions * Contributions beyond methodological nationalism Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words through the Google Form by the end of June 30th: https://forms.gle/Pgs1vh7iJY8EaX7u8 We encourage submissions by early career researchers and PhDs near completion (Chenchen and Carwyn tick those boxes) wherever in the world they are based. We also encourage people to submit in advance of the deadline so that we do not have a huge number of submissions all coming on one day.

#Strike4BlackLives and #ShutDownAcademia
by Lynn Schofield Clark 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Today, the Association of Internet Researchers joins in the worldwide movements to #ShutDownAcademia and #Strike4BlackLives. We condemn anti-Black racism and brutality and support those who have been participating in demonstrations and working against systemic racism. We recognize the traumatic impact the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and so many others have had - on many of us, and on Black colleagues in particular. State violence against Black communities is connected to colonialist histories, and we recognize that white supremacy and systems of oppression are similarly woven into the systems of higher education. As part of our organization’s commitment to anti-racist pedagogy and scholarship, we center the voices and scholarship of Black and Brown colleagues, and encourage taking this day to self-educate and to consider how structural racism has played out, and continues to play out, in scholarship and pedagogies. In solidarity, members and friends of the Association have been compiling a list of resources for critical race and internet studies. Please share and offer suggestions to this list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h809wXUByII2tT0dLlUrgF5r9LK1I2aAel_hF89… The organization’s current leadership is inviting insights on how the upcoming virtual conference may provide spaces for discussions about race. We also we seek to take the organization toward structural change that addresses the many challenges we are facing as scholars, educators, and as human beings. Please contact anyone on the AoIR Executive Board if you would like to participate in this discussion on elevating critical race and internet studies in the Association of Internet Researchers.

CFP Economic and Labour Relations Review_Special Issue: Rethinking Digital Labour
by yumme xia 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

*Call for Papers: Rethinking Digital Labour * Call for submissions to a special collection in *The Economic and Labour Relations Review* Abstract submission deadline: 15 August 2020 Full paper submission deadline: 15 January 2021 Guest Editor: Bingqing Xia (East China Normal University) A number of important topics, themes and concepts frequently recur in studies of digital labour, such as exploitation, precariousness (Standing 2011), ‘the gig economy’ (Graham 2019), and unpaid labour, including those of digital ‘users’ (Terranova 2004) and audiences. Concepts of immaterial, affective and emotional labour have been widely prevalent (Hardt and Negri 2000, 2005). This first generation of critical research has drawn, often valuably so, on a variety of Marxist, post-structuralist and Weberian sources to question prevailing neo-liberal and centrist models centred on values of efficiency and the supposed empowerment of workers and users. Some debates in East Asia follow this tendency to explore labour issues in the digital economy, such as platform workers (Chen and Kimura 2019, Chen 2018, Steinberg 2019, Shibata 2019) and workers in the technology assembly factories (Pun 2005, Qiu 2016, Sacchetto and Andrijasevic, 2015). While these topics, themes and concepts have been beneficial in establishing a basis for critique, there is a danger that, at least in the form they have been applied, they may become rather familiar and in some cases potentially even a little stale. If so, this suggests a need to renew critique of digital labour, as the digital realm stabilizes around a set of key global players and platforms and as labour activists continue to face serious obstacles to success in an era of authoritarian populism. With its broad scale in the valorization of digital work, here, we concentrate our arguments on the professional workers in the information and communication technologies (ICT) related industries. Some digital labour debates in East Asia suggest certain issues that may contribute to renewal. For example, some authors have examined how creative labour in digital domains, such as creative labour in the ‘platform capitalism’ (Stevens 2019, Luthje 2019) and digital entrepreneurs (Leung and Cossu 2019), offers the bottom-up potential of innovation. It is important to address a renewed critique that beyond the rigid theoretical binaries that have long characterized digital labour debates on exploitation and labour agency. We don’t yet know the socio-economic consequences of COVID-19, but it may well make worse the quality of the working life of some platform workers, such as ride-hailing and food delivery workers, who often lack adequate access to employment-insurance benefits or sick leave. COVID-19 may change current digital labour debates in East Asia, including how to reform labour markets, welfare systems, and government policies to ensure greater dignity of digital working lives. It is necessary to seek for certain agents supporting digital labourers’ own rights that may lead to an alternative of capitalism. We call for papers that seek to move beyond the theoretical and conceptual vocabulary that has dominated the first two decades of critical research on digital labour. We have particular interests in research exploring the agency beyond the paradigm on exploitation in East Asia, such as the socio-cultural dynamics of digital labour, reproduction of global inequality through digital work, and possible responses, the agents originate from inequalities of gender, race, and ethnicity. We also welcome papers addressing how COVID-19 may change the current digital labour debates in East Asia. The print version of the resulting journal issue will be published in Volume 32(3) of *The Economic and Labour Relations Review*, September 2021, although individual articles may be published earlier as accepted. In line with *ELRR* policy of recognising the particular difficulties faced by women and First Nations/minority scholars during COVID-19 isolation, the journal will be looking for balanced representation in the published collection, and will continue to consider relevant high-quality submissions for publication in subsequent issues in cases where authors were prevented by COVID-19 related circumstances from meeting the relevant deadlines Among the issues that might be explored are the following, many of which have certainly been present in earlier research, but often in an unconsolidated or under-developed way. This list is only indicative, and we would welcome fresh ideas from any area of critical research, and from any critical perspective. l Changes in digital labour regulation and policy l Immigrant digital labour markets and justice for migrant digital workers l Agency initiated from inequalities of gender, race and ethnicity that may lead to an alternative to or form of capitalism l Questions of *working dignity* in digital domains l Maker culture and digital entrepreneurship l Socio-cultural dynamics of digital labour l Crises of digital work l Alternative approaches to contesting digital work l Theories of subjectivity and agency in relation to digital labour that build on or go beyond the Marxist paradigm l Reproduction of social/global inequality through digital work and possible responses Papers that draw on empirical research and theoretical overviews are equally welcome. We particularly welcome articles that engage with the topic of digital labour in East Asia. Submitting authors should review the scope statement of *The Economic and Labour Relations Review*, which can be found at https://journals.sagepub.com/home/elr. *Process* Before submitting papers, authors should send an abstract of up to 500 words setting out their topic, and an outline of their argument and theoretical/methodological basis to the Guest Editor and Journal Editors-in-Chief listed below. We would encourage anyone thinking of submitting an abstract to contact the special issue Guest Editor via the following email address: bqxia(a)comm.ecnu.edu.cn In consultation with the Editor-in-Chief and Executive Editors, the Guest Editor will select the articles that potentially best fit the special issue, based on peer review. Invitations will then be sent out to submit a full paper. An online workshop will be arranged in order to guide the development of the papers selected. Articles will be double-blind peer reviewed upon completion and subject to regular Editorial Board oversight. *Timeline:* 15 August 2020: abstract submissions 15 September 2020: invitations to submit a full paper sent Online workshop: a date to be determined in October 2020 15 January 2021: first full paper submissions deadline 15 March 2021: reviews and decisions returned to authors 31 May 2021: deadline for final versions >From 30 June 2021 onwards: articles published Online First 1 September 2021: Publication of collection in Volume 32(3) (Note: ELRR articles are published online ahead of print at any time of the year, following completion of the processes of review, revision, further review, acceptance, copy-editing and page proof finalisation).

#Strike4BlackLives #ShutDownAcademia strike called for Wednesday
by Christian Sandvig 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Dear AIR-L colleagues, I haven't seen this on the mailing list -- forgive me if it was there and I missed it. In case you aren't aware a strike of all academic research and teaching labor has been called for tomorrow, Wednesday June 10 by a number of academics, groups, and associations (arxiv, *Nature*, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, ...). If you are directly participating in ending the global pandemic, COVID-19, you are not being asked to join the strike. More information is here: https://www.shutdownstem.com/ <https://www.particlesforjustice.org/> For insight and information about the reasons we need to transform academia, check out the trending #BlackInTheIvory tag on Twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Blackintheivory&src=typed_query There are a number of discipline-specific resources also such as On Being Black in Computing https://medium.com/@quincykbrown/on-being-black-in-computing-during-these-d… Or this from physics https://www.particlesforjustice.org/ I do not know of any "Internet Studies" resources written in the last week that speak to the present moment -- except perhaps the "A good way to respond to a query from a student about activism?" thread on this list? If you know of any statements/materials related to this #Strike4BlackLives and transforming Internet Studies similar to the above resources from other fields please share them here if you can. I would appreciate it. Christian
