Call for essays Survey of 1960-70's Networked Experiments (Condor, Phoenix, OBAN, etc)
Dear Colleagues, Hope you are having a good day! Please share this CALL for essays for an issue of *American Behavioral Scientist* entitled 'Pre-Internet Networked Operations'. Essays invited for a survey of 1960s -1970s network experiments such as: *COINTELPRO *(US); *CHAOS* (US); *Phoenix* (Vietnam); *Condor* (South America); *ORDEN* (El Salvador); *Jakarta* (Indonesia); *OBAN* (Brazil) that networked societies prior to the Internet. The focus is on how evident or non-evident the communications were that supported these operations; the staffing and hardware; how networks were used; and, how they contributed to social and financial inequality and political polarization in the populations they monitored. These networked communities will be an unclassified, one-of-a-kind, historical-comparative, resource for media scholars, media users and social scientists.
