Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (PJCV)
Special issue on philosophical issues raised by the use of existing and emerging military and civilian forms of technologies in armed conflict

Expressions of interest (prospective title and 100 word proposal) due: November 1, 2019

The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (PJCV) welcomes contributions concerning the philosophical issues raised by the use of existing and emerging military and civilian forms of technologies in armed conflict.

The special issue is guest edited by Dr. Alexander C. Leveringhaus (University of Surrey). The selected articles will be published by Trivent Publishing in May 2019.

We welcome papers from philosophical research on the following topics:

• The implications of emerging technologies for the conceptualisation and protection of civilians.
• The concept of machine autonomy and its meaning for armed conflict.
• The nexus between civilian and military applications of emerging technologies: from driverless cars to driverless tanks?

CALL for ICIDS 2018 WORKSHOP Submissions:
“Authoring for Interactive Storytelling”
December 8, 2018
Dublin, Ireland
http://narrativeandplay.org/ais/call.html

3-6 page papers due: October 22

This call for participation is seeking submitted papers and attendance at the Authoring for Interactive Storytelling workshop held at the International Conference for Interactive Digital Storytelling (ICIDS) 2018 in Dublin (https://icids2018.scss.tcd.ie/). This workshop seeks to provide a venue for researchers in the area of interactive digital narrative authoring and narrative systems to share early work, new ideas, and identify challenges facing the field, with a view to fostering collaboration and the formation of a coherent research community in this space.

In particular, we are focusing on the overarching question:  When, why, and do we actually need authoring tools?

Relevant work discussed at recent workshops has evoked a number of more specific questions:

• What is a tool, anyway, in the context of authoring for interactive storytelling?

“Geographies of Digital Games”
Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting
April 3-7 2019
Washington DC
https://annualmeeting.aag.org/AAGAnnualMeeting

Organisers: Nick Rush-Cooper (Newcastle University, UK) and Emma Fraser (Manchester University, UK)

Abstracts due by Thursday October 18th, 2018

Computer, video, mobile and digital games are fundamentally geographical: They are sites of social relation, spaces of exploration and agency, cultural and political representations of places, affective experiences and are developed through globalised and globalising technologies and networks.

This session welcomes geographers, digital scholars, creative practitioners, and others who are approaching games as spatial phenomena. Though games have been used as geographical field sites and case studies for some time, this session will provide an opportunity to bring together diverse empirical and theoretical responses to games and to focus on the specific geographies and spatialities of games.

Suggested topics:

• Games as social spaces
• The embodied, affective and non-representational aspects of games and game playing
• The global economic and labour geographies of the games industry
• Agency and subjectivity in game-playing
• Games as sites of political representation and agency
• Game-making as creative research method

Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words to nick.rush-cooper@ncl.ac.uk… read more. “Call: “Geographies of Digital Games” at Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting”
