Book announcement: Digital Mediascapes of Transnational KoreanYouth Culture
by Kyong W Yoon 26 Jan '20

26 Jan '20

Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce the publication of my book *Digital Mediascapes of Transnational Korean Youth Culture* (Routledge). https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429469251 Drawing on vivid ethnographic field studies of youth on the transnational move, across Seoul, Toronto, and Vancouver, this book examines transnational flows of Korean youth and their digital media practices. This book explores how digital media are integrated into various forms of transnational life and imagination, focusing on young Koreans and their digital media practices. By combining theoretical discussion and in depth empirical analysis, the book provides engaging narratives of transnational media fans, sojourners, and migrants. Each chapter illustrates a form of mediascape, in which transnational Korean youth culture and digital media are uniquely articulated. This perceptive research offers new insights into the transnationalization of youth cultural practices, from K-pop fandom to smartphone-driven storytelling. A transnational and ethnographic focus makes this book the first of its kind, with an interdisciplinary approach that goes beyond the scope of existing digital media studies, youth culture studies, and Asian studies. It will be essential reading for scholars and students in media studies, migration studies, popular culture studies, and Asian studies. Kind regards, Kyong Yoon Associate Professor of Cultural Studies University of British Columbia Okanagan, Canada

(Our) Nice New Paper Out on Scholarly/Organizational Networks: Productivity and Influence
by Barry Wellman 25 Jan '20

25 Jan '20

and if you can't get it elsewhere, we have some free copies to give out: The differential impact of network connectedness and size on researchers~R productivity and influence Tsahi Hayat, Dimitrina Dimitrova &Barry Wellman Information, Communication, & Society, 23, 5 https://doi.org/10.1080/1369118X.2020.1713844 ABSTRACT We analyze the effect of different types of online and offline ties - acquaintanceship, advice, and co-authorship - on researchers' productivity and influence. Unlike static studies of networked work, we look at how changes in these networks affected researchers' performance and influence. Using the number of publications as an indicator of productivity and the number of citations as an indicator of influence, we investigate when researchers were more productive and influential. We study whether their networks were cohesive, if the researchers were central in their networks or linked to central players, and whether their work had more opportunities to be disseminated through diverse, non-redundant ties. Although the connectedness of their networks was positively associated with the researchers' productivity, it was the non-redundant effective size of the networks that was positively associated with the researchers' influence.

Best regards, Johan Söderberg, Maxigas, Davide Orsini ------------------------------------------------------------ Marxist STS Johan Söderberg (Göteborg University), Maxigas (Lancaster University / University of Amsterdam), and Davide Orsini (Mississippi State University) The historical roots of STS go back to Marxism. Many of the issues currently being debated in relation to technology and science begun as debates in-between Marxist intellectuals, notably concerning the status of science and ideology critique. By returning to this history and to Marxist theoretical resources, new insights can be gained when addressing STS questions. This panel invites presentations exploring the Marxist roots of STS as well as new, theoretical work broadly inspired by Marxism.

Deadline Extended to Feb. 15th! - CFP: Exploring Social Media in Shifting, Transforming, and Transitioning Markets
by Drenten, Jenna 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

THREE WEEKS TO GO! We have extended our deadline for the upcoming conference track on 'Exploring Social Media in Shifting, Transforming, and Transitioning Markets - part of the 45th Annual Macromarketing Conference in Bogota, Colombia. Submissions are now due February 15, 2020. See below for track details. Works in progress and early-stage research are welcomed across all disciplines. Please contact the track chairs with any questions. Submission Types * Competitive Papers (max. 8,000 words) * Extended Abstracts (max. 5 pages) * Special Session Proposals *Please format your submission: MS Word, Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced CALL FOR PAPERS - CONFERENCE TRACK Exploring Social Media in Shifting, Transforming, and Transitioning Markets (A track of the 45th Annual Macromarketing Conference) We are pleased to introduce the first dedicated social media track of the Macromarketing Conference -- a community of scholars devoted to understanding how markets, marketing, and society are connected into a networked system that shapes economic, political and ecological outcomes as well as global human welfare. The 45th Annual Macromarketing Conference will be held in Bogota, Colombia, July 7-10, 2020. Submissions are due February 15, 2020. For the "Exploring Social Media" track, authors can submit via our online portal for the track: https://macromarketing.wishpondpages.com/social-media/ For more information, view our "Exploring Social Media" track poster: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1faNtXXCuStUn_URLrrMkQrgh7t45THbO/view Track Chairs: Jenna Drenten, Assistant Professor of Marketing, Loyola University Chicago (jdrenten(a)luc.edu<mailto:jdrenten@luc.edu><mailto:jdrenten@luc.edu<mailto:jdrenten@luc.edu>>) Akon E. Ekpo, Assistant Professor of Marketing, Loyola University Chicago (aekpo(a)luc.edu<mailto:aekpo@luc.edu><mailto:aekpo@luc.edu<mailto:aekpo@luc.edu>>) Track Description: Facebook. WhatsApp. Instagram. Twitter. YouTube. Through social media, consumers can speak to healthcare professionals, organize political protests, watch global disasters unfold in real-time, raise funds for a loved one’s cancer treatment, and purchase illegal goods and services. Much of the research at the intersection of social media and marketing focuses on micro-level consumer behavior. However, the implications may have a bigger impact at the market system level. Thus, this track seeks to expand understanding of the role of social media within the broader macromarketing discourse. In line with the conference theme of transitioning markets, contributors to this track should think boldly and broadly about the role of social media in creating, supporting, transforming, and disassembling market systems. This track invites submissions that critically examine how the emergence and evolution of social media and digital consumer culture are reshaping marketing, market systems, and society. Possibilities for this track include, but are not limited to: * The interplay between online and offline marketplace practices and market systems * Ethical implications of social media algorithms, data harvesting, and consumer privacy * Marketplace activism and resistance through social media * Intersection of social media and issues of power, marginalization, inequality, and/or accessibility * Dynamics of a cashless culture and social media-based market systems * Deepfakes, bots, and how marketing operates in a post-truth information marketplace * Formal and informal regulations (e.g., government censorship, parental control) of social media marketing and social media platforms * New forms of marketplace labor, services, products, and economies emerging through social media * Critical-historical analysis of social media marketing and case studies of specific social media * Methodological advances and ethical considerations in social media research For this track, social media are defined as Internet-enabled services that allow consumers, communities, organizations, and governmental entities to collaborate, connect, interact by enabling them to create, co-create, modify, share and engage with user-generated content. Contributors are encouraged to explore a broad range of social media and their interplay with market systems and society across a range of functions: * transactional (e.g., Venmo, eBay, GoFundMe, Patreon) * relational/social (e.g., WhatsApp, Tinder, Ancestry) * informational (e.g., Wikipedia, Reddit, TripAdvisor) * entertainment (e.g., Spotify, Pokemon Go, TikTok) Exploration of non-Western markets and culturally specific social media are strongly encouraged. Both conceptual analyses and empirical studies are welcomed. Contributors should examine offline and online dynamics of social media as related to core macromarketing concepts, such as marketing ethics, quality of life and consumer well-being, globalization, market system dynamics, sustainability and environmental issues, consumer culture, socioeconomic development, and distributive justice. To advance macromarketing theory, contributors are encouraged to integrate theoretical perspectives from new media studies, digital humanities, and related fields. -- Jenna Drenten, PhD Assistant Professor of Marketing Quinlan School of Business Loyola University Chicago jdrenten(a)luc.edu<mailto:jdrenten@luc.edu> 803.212.8402 @jennadrenten<http://twitter.com/jennadrenten> See recent publications: * Sexualized labour in digital culture: Instagram influencers, porn chic and the monetization of attention<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/gwao.12354> (Free Access) * Video gaming as a gendered pursuit<http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=exOKDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA28&dq=i…> * The hashtaggable body: Negotiating gender performance in social media<http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=exOKDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA101&dq=…> * Visual storytelling and vulnerable health care consumers: normalising practices and social support through Instagram<https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JSM-09-2018-0262/full/h…>

New Book: Furious: Technological Feminism and Digital Futures, Caroline Bassett, Sarah Kember and Kate O'Riordan
by Tim Jordan 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

I'm very happy to let you know about the publication of a new book in the Pluto Press Digital Barricades series. Jointly authored by Caroline Bassett, Sarah Kember and Kate O'Riordan Furious takes a feminist lens to look at digital analysis and the digital world. https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745340500/furious/ "As digital transformations continue to accelerate in the world, discourses of big data have come to dominate in a number of fields, from politics and economics, to media and education. But how can we really understand the digital world when so much of the writing through which we grapple with it remains deeply problematic? In a compelling new work of feminist critical theory, Bassett, Kember and O'Riordan scrutinise many of the assumptions of a masculinist digital world, highlighting the tendency of digital humanities scholarship to venerate and essentialise technical forms, and to adopt gendered writing and citation practices. Contesting these writings, practices and politics, the authors foreground feminist traditions and contributions to the field, offering alternative modes of knowledge production, and a radically different, poetic writing style. Through this prism, Furious brings into focus themes including the automation of home and domestic work, the Anthropocene, and intersectional feminist technofutures." This is a great addition to our book series with the series editors being myself, Jodi Dean, Joss Hands and David Castle. We're proud of the way the series has developed and contributed to critical thinking about the internet and digital world with authors like Nick Dyer-Witheford, Donatella Della Ratta, Paolo Gerbaudo and more please check it out at: https://www.plutobooks.com/pluto-series/digital-barricades-interventions-in… Best to all and happy lunar new year, Tim Tim Jordan, Professor of Digital Cultures, School of Media, Film and Music, University of Sussex.

The Transformation of Higher Education: Acceleration, Platformisation and Digitalisation
by Mark Carrigan 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

*The Transformation of Higher Education: Acceleration, Platformisation and Digitalisation* *Friday, 03 April 2020, 11am-5pm in London, UK* Register online here: https://www.srhe.ac.uk/events/details.asp?eid=456 There is widespread agreement that universities are undergoing a profound transformation but much less agreement on what these changes mean and how we should characterise them. The Digital University Network has stressed the role of new technologies in transforming practice within the university. The Accelerated Academy has presented the tempo and rhythm of academic life as an analytical lens through which we can productively examine these changes. The Platform University network has explored the cultural political economy and organisational sociology of the digital platforms which are increasingly ubiquitous within higher education. In this symposium we bring together leading figures from the latter two networks in order to explore their intersections with our own work, as well as how they relate to each other. *Speakers and topics:* *Assetization and the future of value in the digitalized higher education industry* Janja Komljenovic, Lancaster University *Regimes of Sight and Optical Illusions in the Platform University*Susan Robertson, University of Cambridge *In Praise of Speed*Filip Vostal, Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences
