Special Issue of GAMEVIRONMENTS
“This Time it’s for all the Marbles. Towards Social Justice in Digital Gaming”
edited by Patrick Prax
https://www.gamevironments.uni-bremen.de/

Submission deadline for abstracts: 1 February 2022

Digital games are a central element of contemporary media ecology both in terms of playing and making games, but also as an anchor point for communities and cultures. The impact games and gaming have on our societies is both hard to define and undeniable. They extend towards increased access to cultural production and creativity, allowing people to be social in isolation, and to expand the social imaginary. At the same time, they are related to exploitation and precarity, isolate people under the guise of sociability, and are connected to xenophobic and bigoted movements that threaten democratic values and civic liberties.

While these are not issues that are exclusive to game it can be argued that gaming as a culture, community, and environment warrant attention here because of their central role for contemporary culture, creative industries, and digital platforms.… read more. “Call: “Towards Social Justice in Digital Gaming” Gamevironments issue”

Cumulus Russia 2022: Un/Touchable: New meanings and values
Phygital Conference [Physical and digital]
June 13-18, 2022
https://cumulusrussia2022.org

Deadline for submission of abstracts: January 15, 2022

Scholars, designers, and the creative community of Russia invite you to join discussions on the “Un/Touchable: New Meanings and Values” Official Cumulus Conference. Let’s investigate the notions of tactility, tangible aesthetics, proprioception, and haptic visuality together! The phygital conference will take place in Saint Petersburg, Moscow and online in June 2022 hosted by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, St. Petersburg University and HSE Art and Design School (National Research University ‘Higher School of Economics’).

Today, when transdisciplinary research fields are gaining momentum, we want to explore the problem of haptic space and tactile touch through the optics of the new scientific discourse. We are convinced that ‘grasping experience’ in contemporary art and design represent new forms of optic and tactile space, which attracts more and more research interest.… read more. “Call: Cumulus Russia 2022: Un/Touchable: New meanings and values”
