Call for Papers “Digital Twinning” New Media & Society Special Issue https://necs.org/news/calls-for-papers/digital-twinning Editors: Christoph Borbach, Wendy Chun, and Tristan Thielmann Deadline for submission of abstracts: December 31, 2023 Datafication in the analogue era followed a different logic than do today’s media processes, with all their entanglements and interdependencies with and within the ‘real’ world. Human bodies, system processes, and their data traces and virtual models are deeply intertwined in current postdigital—or rather, more-than-human (Lupton 2019)—media cultures. It is surely not a new idea that data and the technologies of its collection, storage, circulation, and evaluation are shaping how societies and…

At that time, new media such as photography and cinema were transforming not only the forms of art but also the way people perceived the world through new forms of collective innervation. In fact, it was the way humans looked at things that were profoundly changed. Through these new technologies, humans were learning to come closer to objects and play with their images.…

Call for Book Chapters Edited Collection on Subversive Gaming From Aparajita Bhandari (ab2725@cornell.edu) Deadline for submission of abstracts: January 15, 2024 Hello all, We are seeking chapter contributions for an edited volume on the topic of subversion in games and gaming culture as part of the Games in Context Series. Tanenbaum (2013) notes that video game players are often positioned by designers as “agents of chaos” that are resistant towards pre-authored narratives and architectures. While this description is overly simplistic and does not account for the diverse, context-dependent, and sometimes contradictory goals that motivate play, it does speak to the…

Call for Papers Mindscapes: Culture, AI, and Human Minds Workshop March 12, 2024 Macquarie University Sydney, Australia Deadline for submission of abstracts: January 3. 2024 In the age of intertwined human and AI-generated content, the Mindscapes workshop aims to explore the impact of these interactions on cultural practices.
