New Book: Global Social Media Design—Bridging Differences Across Cultures
by Huatong Sun 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, I’m happy to announce that my new book with Oxford University Press is recently released: Global Social Media Design Bridging Differences Across Cultures https://global.oup.com/academic/product/global-social-media-design-97801908… Social media users fracture into tribes, but social media ecosystems are globally interconnected technically, socially, culturally, and economically. At the crossroads, Sun presents theory, method, and case studies to uncover the global interconnectedness of social media design and to bridge differences. She articulates a critical design framework with design tools to redress asymmetrical relations in everyday practice, and provides three cross-cultural social media design and use cases: Facebook Japan, Weibo, and global competition of WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE, and KakaoTalk. She calls to reshape the crossroads into a design square where differences are nourished as resources, where diverse discourses interact for innovation, and where alternative epistemes thrive. - Presents a practice-theoretic design framework to approach cultural differences from the Global South vantage - Uncovers the global interconnectedness of social media design and reorients universal design standards - Provides three provocative accounts of non-Western social media design and use on a global cultural circuit - Offer innovative design tools of sensitizing concepts and sensitizing relations to redress asymmetrical relations in everyday practice I hope it's of interest to some of you. Happy to provide a sample chapter. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I have benefited so much from this listserv!

Borders, bordering and sovereignty in cyberspace [final CfP RGS-IBG 2020, deadline 5th Feb]
by Morris,CJ (pgr) 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

Dear all, please find the final CfP for our panel, we've had more than a dozen great submissions already from case studies worldwide, explored through the lenses of geography, criminology, governance, cyber war, activism and linguistics. The deadline is tomorrow night 🤓 Borders, bordering and sovereignty in cyberspace *Call for Papers for RGS-IBG Annual Conference, London, 1-4 September 2020* Sponsored by: Digital Geography Research Group (DGRG) Session organisers: Dr Chenchen Zhang (QUB) and Carwyn Morris (London School of Economics) 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. Cyberborders are produced through, for instance, regulatory systems, jurisdictional assertions, censorship regimes, and discourses of cyber sovereignty and cyber security. While governments draw on concepts of sovereignty and national security to assert control over a virtual 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 session aims to address theoretical and empirical questions regarding processes of (de)bordering and (de)territorialization in cyberspace. 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? 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 cyber, digital, and data sovereignty * The geopolitics of data and internet control * Cyberborders and data protection law * How borders and practices of territorialization in cyberspace are contested * The impact of territorialization and bordering on populations * Conceptual and theoretical contributions * Contributions beyond methodological nationalism We encourage panellists to present in a creative method, not limited to a formal paper presentation. The session will consist of 4-5 papers, a strictly enforced 15 mins each to enable time for question and answers. Guidelines will be provided for accepted panellists. Whilst we would love to see you in London, we support Skype presentations and pre-recorded video presentations, as long as the presenter can engage in the Q&A. Please email prospective abstracts (max 250 words) or any queries to Chenchen (Chenchen.Zhang(a)qub.ac.uk) and Carwyn (c.j.morris(a)lse.ac.uk) by midnight Wednesday February 5th, 2020. We look forward to seeing your abstracts! Best wishes, Chenchen and Carwyn 😊 Carwyn Morris PhD Candidate in Human Geography and Urban Studies Department of Geography and Environment London School of Economics Tweeting @carwyn<https://twitter.com/carwyn>

CFP SpecialIssue on Shame, Shaming, and Online ImageSharing
by AMPARO LASEN DIAZ 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

We would be grateful if you could help us to disseminate this CFP, many thanks in advance *Special Issue **on Shame, Shaming, and Online Image Sharing to be published by First Monday* Editors: Gaby David, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris 3 and Amparo Lasen, Universidad Complutense of Madrid. *Call for papers * We are preparing a special issue for the open-access journal First Monday on the topic of shame and shaming around the practices of sharing images online. Vernacular mobile images are the visual intersection of everyday life and popular culture, taken, viewed on and/or shared from mobile devices. They are the building blocks of our visual co-construction of reality. But, what can the experiences of shame and shaming related to practices of sharing more or less intimate vernacular mobile images indicate about our digitally connected societies and about contemporary subjectivities? Shame is an ordinary affect, a key emotion regarding sociability and social orderings, as it is elicited by the fear of disconnection from our actual social bonds or the ones we aspire to be part of. It is a mode of affecting and being affected that shapes and mobilises ordinary experiences and relationships, and it is narrowly linked to social orderings and social structuration and exclusion processes. Shame points to how norms are fixed, maintained and challenged, to what is appropriate and what is not, who is appropriate and who isn’t. Shaming others, a common online practice is also a way of reinforcing these same social orderings and senses. In this issue, we would like to explore how shame, shaming, and embarrassment are involved in the production of disquiets, vulnerabilities and exclusions in mediated intimacies and gender choreographies sustained and deployed through the convergence of camera phones, social networks, and mobile apps. Contemporary online visual practices are haunted by shame. As our mobile visual performances and exposure make us run the risk of becoming inappropriate and make our becoming risky when we are already deemed as inappropriate. We aim at analysing concepts such as visibility, public and private, the digital modulation of presence and of intimacy, shame and share, and its relations to normativity, surveillance, and sousveillance. In times of data mining and Artificial Intelligence, reflections on the epistemology of coupled values such as ‘sharing and shaming’ must be on the research agenda. An awareness and analysis of the sharing-shaming duo surely contribute to the understanding of digital practices and habits. In theoretical, methodological and ethical approaches, this special issue does not seek to describe the benefits, motivations and/or risks on why banal everyday life mobile vernacular images should remain private and/or public but interrogate both the situations behind these vernacular mobile imagery sharing when shame is elicited, as well as when individual or collective shaming initiatives arise in response to such images. Personal and/or collective decisions to share private content or be ashamed of doing so, have multiple and complex and interrelated correlations. We encourage contributions from diverse fields that may include (but are not limited to) visual sociology, digital ethnography, fine art, gender studies, internet studies, mobile studies, cultural studies, pop culture, and game/play studies. We are also considering the publication of another journal special issue on this same topic in an academic Spanish or Latin-American journal, if some of you are interested in contributing with a paper written in Spanish, please contact us. *Keywords: digital images, share, shame, shaming, ethics.* *Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:* ● Share and shame: Theories, concepts, and methods ● Histories of particular Internet shame-share stories ● Analysis of the implications of shame share histories for international and global discussions of Internet histories, forms, and futures. ● Case studies of shame, sharing and online visual practices ● Co-evolution of sharing, shaming and Internet technology ● Gender performances and choreographies related to shame and online shaming ● Race, shame and online shaming ● Mediated sexualities ● Historiographies of cyber shame, cyberslutting, online bullying, racism, sexism. ● Mobile Internet, mobile apps, share and shame ● Digital cultures, memes, humour, and irony ● Shame, values and online social imaginaries ● Internet celebrity, shame, and share ● Shamelessness ● Porn, share, and shame *References* Ahmed, S.

Re: [Air-L] cheating students?

I agree, we need to focus on why 'cheating' is occurring. In the UK at least, with high fees, chronic instability in the grad job market, the chasing of high grades affects many students. There's an explicit encouragement of students to become 'entrepreneurial' and maximize their opportunities, whilst accumulating huge debts to pay (over the odds) for degrees that are socio-economically worth less and less. Aren't they following a neo-liberal logic of 'out-sourcing' their work? Sure, we can get stuck into the morality of cheating, but that obscures what's at stake in our current - broken - education system. regards Sanjay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 5 Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2020 18:48:28 +0000 From: Jacob Johanssen <johanssenjacob(a)gmail.com> To: Richard Forno <rforno(a)infowarrior.org> Cc: Patricia Aufderheide <paufder(a)american.edu>, air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] cheating students?
