As these Internet 50 year celebrations got underway, one pedantic party pooper pointed out that the original message sent on October 29 1969 was, in fact, between two computers, not two networks. That would come a little later. Nevertheless it was a great leap forward and, in these sessions, we hear from some of the people who made it possible.

Deadline extended: CFP | Media and the Night: An International Conference | Colloque international: Les médias et la nuit
by Jhessica Reia 30 Dec '19

30 Dec '19

*Media and the Night: An International Conference* April 29 and 30, 2020 McGill University, Montreal Organized by Jhessica Reia, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University Will Straw, James McGill Professor of Urban Media Studies, Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University Over the last decade, the study of the night has emerged as an international, interdisciplinary field of scholarly research. Historians, archaeologists, geographers, urbanists, economists and scholars of culture and literature have analyzed the night time of communities large and small, across a wide range of historical periods. The study of the night has expanded in tandem with new attention to the night on the part of city administrations, organizers of cultural events (like *nuits** blanches* and museum nights) and activists fighting gentrification, systems of control and practices of harassment and exclusion which limit the “right to the night” of various populations. In this context of this new attention to the night, we invite proposals for an international conference, in English and French, on relationships between media and the night. We are open to papers focussing on old and new media, from any disciplinary perspective, and dealing with any historical period or geographical area. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: - The place of media consumption and circulation within the 24-hour cycle; - Formal and stylistic features of media treatments of the night; - Media constructions of the transgressive, marginal or identitarian night; - Specialized media directed at (or produced by) communities of the night; - The role of media forms (or platforms) in tracing itineraries of night-time activity; - Media tools to enhance the safety and accessibility of the night; - “Intermedial” dimensions of media’s relationship to the night (e.g., electric lighting and photography; late-night television and classic cinema, etc.); - The challenge of imagining “night” genres for 24-hour streaming services; - Archiving the night; - Pre-digital or digital practices of mapping the night; - Night, social media and data visualization; - Games, apps and night modes; - Night media and energy infrastructures. Proposals (with title) should be approximately 350 words, in French or English, and submitted by email to jhessica.reia(a)mcgill.ca by *January 10, 2020*. Please note that, while the organizers are unable to cover the travel and accommodation costs of participants, we will and will not charge a registration fee. https://theurbannight.com/ *** *Colloque international « Les médias et la nuit »* 29 et 30 avril 2020 Université McGill, Montréal Sous la direction de : Jhessica Reia, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Histoire de l'art et communication, Université McGill Will Straw, James McGill Professor of Urban Media Studies, Histoire de l'art et communication, Université McGill Au cours de la dernière décennie, la nuit est devenue un objet d’études à part entière autour duquel s’est constitué un domaine international et interdisciplinaire de recherche universitaire. Des historien.nes, des archéologues, des géographes, des urbanistes, des économistes et des spécialistes de la culture et de la littérature ont analysé les activités et les imaginaires nocturnes de grandes et de petites communautés, à travers un large éventail de périodes historiques. Parallèlement au développement de ces études, la nuit fit l’objet d’une nouvelle attention de la part des administrations municipales, des organisateurs d’événements culturels (auxquels on doit par exemple les nuits blanches et les soirées des musées), ainsi que de la part d’activistes luttant contre la gentrification et les dispositifs de contrôle des activités nocturnes, ou encore dénonçant les pratiques de harcèlement et d’exclusion qui limitent le « droit à la nuit » de divers groupes minoritaires. C’est dans le contexte de cette nouvelle attention portée à la nuit que nous lançons un appel à communications pour un colloque international en français et anglais sur les relations entre les médias et la nuit. Nous sommes ouverts aux propositions portant sur les anciens comme sur les nouveaux médias, à toutes les perspectives disciplinaires, ainsi qu’à toutes les périodes historiques ou zones géographiques. Voici la liste indicative non restrictive des thèmes suggérés : - La consommation et la diffusion des médias dans le cycle de 24 heures ; - Les caractéristiques formelles et stylistiques des différents traitements médiatiques de la nuit ; - Les constructions médiatiques des transgressions, des marginalités ou des identités nocturnes ; - Les médias spécialisés destinés aux communautés de la nuit, ou produits par elles ; - Le rôle des types de médias (ou des plateformes) dans la traçabilité des itinéraires de l’activité nocturne ; - Les outils médiatiques œuvrant à l’amélioration de la sécurité et de l'accessibilité de la nuit ; - Les aspects intermédiaux de la relation média/nuit (par exemple, le lien entre l’éclairage électrique et la photographie, les programmes télévisuels de fin de soirée et le cinéma classique, etc.) ; - Les défis de la programmation « nocturne » pour les services de streaming 24 h/24 ; - Archiver la nuit ; - Les pratiques pré-numériques ou numériques de cartographie de la nuit ; - La nuit, les médias sociaux et la visualisation des données ; - Les jeux vidéo, les applications et les modes nuits ("night modes") ; - Les médias nocturnes et les infrastructures énergétiques. Les propositions d’environ 350 mots (plus le titre), en français ou en anglais, doivent être envoyées par courrier électronique à jhessica.reia(a)mcgill.ca avant le *10 janvier **2020*. Le colloque est gratuit et ouvert au public. En revanche, les frais de voyage et d’hébergement des participants ne seront pas pris en charge. https://theurbannight.com/ Jhessica Reia Andrew W.

Digital Social Research. Polity, 2019 More info: http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509529308 Preview of the ToC: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332863568_Digital_Social_Research Reviews ‘We need more books like this. With his far-reaching and accessible overview of the field, Giuseppe A.Veltri makes a very welcome contribution.’ Axel Bruns, Queensland University of Technology, and President of the Association of Internet Researchers ‘Giuseppe A.Veltri’s innovative approach locates digital methods within the established canon of social research methodology, without the hyperbole that often surrounds such discussion. Students will learn about the essential principles of social scientific research and where new methods sit in relation to traditional methods.’ Nick Allum, Professor of Research Methodology, University of Essex ‘This is a timely and important book. Its real strength is that it moves beyond the “how to” to explain the “why”. This is achieved with clear language that makes the book of value to advanced undergraduates and postgraduates alike.’ Scott Wright, Associate Professor of Digital Media and Political Communication, University of Melbourne Short description To analyse social and behavioral phenomena in our digitalized world, it’s necessary to understand the main research opportunities and challenges specific to online and digital social research. This book presents an overview of the many techniques that are part of the fundamental toolbox of the digital social scientist. Placing online methods within the wider tradition of social research methods, Giuseppe Veltri discusses the methodological principles and related frameworks that underlie each technique of digital research. This useful guide covers methodological issues such as different digital data types, sampling for big data, construct validity, and representativeness. It looks at different forms of unobtrusive data collection methods (web scraping, social media mining) as well as obtrusive methods (qualitative methods, web surveys, and experiments). Special attention is given to three key analytical approaches, explored in more detail: computational approaches to statistical analysis, text mining, and network analysis. Digital Social Research Methods will be a welcome and essential resource for students and researchers across the social sciences and humanities carrying out digital research or interested in the future of social research. …………………… Giuseppe A.

Cfp: The Sharing Economy as a Path to Government Innovation
by shenja van der graaf 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

CfP: Special issue: The sharing economy as a path to government innovation ( https://timreview.ca/calls-papers) Guest editors: Dr. Shenja van der Graaf Carina Veeckman imec-SMIT, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. The concept of “sharing economy” is often used interchangeably with the notions of “collaborative consumption” (Hamari, Sjöklint, & Ukkonen, 2016), “collaborative economy” (Bauwens, Mendoza, & Iacomella, 2012; Botsman & Rogers, 2010), “crowd-based capitalism” (Sundararajan, 2016), “peer economy” (Bradley, 2014), “gig economy” (Friedman, 2014; Mulcahy, 2016), “peer-to-peer economy” (Koopman, Mitchell, & Thierer, 2014) and “platform economy” (Parker, Van Alstyne, & Choudary, 2016), to name a few. It has become an umbrella term becoming increasingly relevant to both the daily lives of private individuals and to the direction and operation of social and political systems, thereby covering a large number of peer sharing behaviours across several sectors, such as accommodation (Airbnb, Couchsurfing), delivery and home services (Instacart), and transportation (Lyft, Uber). One of the key elements in the multiple definitions of the sharing economy concept is the sense of belonging to community which is implied in the sharing behaviours of involved actors. This community spirit is reflected in the definition of Hamari et al. (2016: n.p.), defining the sharing economy as a “peer to peer activity of obtaining, giving, or sharing the access to goods and services, coordinated through community-based online services”. The operation of sharing transactions via collaborative platforms, such as online connecting platforms which are owned and controlled by the consumers themselves, is the main driver behind the sense of community surrounding the concept of the sharing economy. Consequently, sharing with no true sense of community and collaboration among the actors, even when sharing is not at all accompanied by economic transactions, or sharing via for-profit intermediaries, as in the case of Uber, do not count as examples of genuine sharing economy (Belk, 2014). The opportunities within the sharing economy are enormous and are not just for big businesses. For many, and in particular young people and women, the sharing economy allows them to save money by accessing goods and services rather than buying them, or only paying for them when they need them. The democratization of access to resources, accompanied by the development and implementation of more sustainable economic and environmental models is the main outcome expected by the engagement of people in peer sharing behaviours. A study of Wosskow (2014) showed that people are not just saving money, they have also reported having a positive or very positive experience with shared models of consumption. For women within the UK, the sharing economy seems to have a real impact on how British women work. It allows them to work more flexibly when they have a family, and to have a lifeline back to work. It also seems that around a third of women in the UK founded or co-founded a sharing economy business. In these given examples, the new economy can have its implications on the organisation of work and life, and in particularly in exploring flexible working patterns, long working hours and homeworking and in sharing caring responsibilities among partners or others (Perrons, 2003). The sharing economy, however, is not only creating opportunities, it is also presenting different governance challenges. One of them is the creation of inequality in the ‘renting’ economy. Although the sharing economy claims to de-emphasize ownership, it is mostly those who have the assets that will accumulate money from it. If government agencies would partner here with sharing economy platforms, it could only further deepen economic issues and class divisions (Ganapati & Reddick, 2018). Another challenge is the governance of the new working force that are operating as independent contractors, and typically do not get the work security of full-time workers. This might lead to unfair competition in the market, such as the recent protests of taxi drivers against ride-sharing platforms such as Uber. Against this backdrop and cited examples of mostly commercial business, this call for papers is particularly interested in empirical research such as case studies focusing on exploring the outcomes and challenges of government innovation related to the sharing economy. Nowadays, we witness that governments are not fully embracing the opportunities offered by the sharing economy, although it could make their operations more efficient and lead towards a better usage of their public resources. Local authorities could explore the sharing of IT systems, the sharing of heavy equipment or local spaces, or support ride-sharing as part of public transport. Apart from renting models, government departments could also embrace the time banking system as a way to give their staff the opportunity to volunteer with local charities and services, or as a way to broaden access to certain services, such as childcare. Empirical studies could particularly focus on the usage of or collaboration with online platforms to facilitate collaborative consumption and delivery of public goods or services, and how the creation of these tool creates a tension between the public and private sector. Given the multitude of sharing activities that could fall under the concept of sharing economy, this call for papers welcomes any contribution in the following classification: rental economy, peer-to-peer economy, on-demand economy, time banking, open source software and social lending/crowdfunding (Pais & Provasi, 2015); with a particular interest in case studies that demonstrate the value of innovation management frameworks, models and plans of government bodies or alternatives to public services. We encourage interdisciplinary contributions that would cross the boundaries between the fields of cultural and media studies, urban studies, science and technology studies, platform studies, management and innovation studies, policy studies, economics. We look forward to papers that broadly deal with following topics, but are certainly not limited to the following: -The methodological and empirical challenges associated with the critical study of the Sharing Economy in the context of government innovation -Public service delivery in the sharing age (e.g., informal childcare service) -Opportunities, challenges, impacts of the sharing economy on governance and public sector -The role of the public sector in the sharing economy (vis-à-vis the private sector) -The willingness of government bodies to adopt sharing economy solutions -Microentrepreneurs or peer-to-peer communities providing an alternative to public services, or access to public resources -Citizen perception studies or impact assessment studies of (better) sharing public services as a new economy -Case studies illustrating either successful or unsuccessful government innovation in sharing economy (lessons learned) Planning 750-words abstracts should be emailed to Shenja.vanderGraaf(a)imec.be by January 24, 2020. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Tim Review Editorial Board and the special issue editors. Any queries can be addressed to the (guest) editors. Authors of selected abstracts will be notified by February 7, 2020 and invited to submit full manuscripts by March 31, 2020.
