M/C is a crossover journal between the popular and the academic, and a blind- and peer-reviewed journal. To see what M/C Journal is all about, check out our Website, which contains all the issues released so far, at <http://www.media-culture.org.au/>. To find out how and in what format to contribute your work, visit <http://www.media-culture.org.au/submission.html>. Call for Papers: 'joke' - edited by Paul Denvir & E. Sean Rintel It has been argued that jokes produce arousal in social beings because they represent a rupture in, or a temporary subversion of, the routine character of social life. Laughter, it is further argued, is a spontaneous physiological response to the violation of deeply embedded expectations about 'what kind of thing should be happening here.' If this is true, then we may further argue that an examination of jokes, as apparent breaches of a known-in-common social order, can tell us much about that very social order. If we examine jokes, will we find that there is always some kind of cultural expectation being poked and prodded? And why should we enjoy this so much? Perhaps jokes provide us with morally, politically, or interactionally safe ways to express our relationship with the restrictions that any kind of order - even the order we voluntarily produce and reproduce - will inexorably impose? We may also wonder what it is that social beings actually and practically do with jokes. Whatever jokes may 'mean' in the philosophical sense, it is hard to ignore the fact that jokes, whether in everyday social life, in films, or on stage at the Improv, are produced in situ by social actors in particular times and places for the consumption of other social actors in particular times and places. We need to know more about what jokes do for tellers and recipients as they jointly produce an intelligible social order. Contributors are invited to discuss potential contributions with either editor via the issue's email address and encouraged to submit well in advance of the due date. M/C Journal was founded (as "M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture") in 1998 as a place of public intellectualism analysing and critiquing the meeting of media and culture. Contributors are directed to past issues of M/C Journal for examples of style and content, and to the submissions page for comprehensive article submission guidelines. M/C Journal articles are blind peer-reviewed. deadline for submissions: 18 August 2003 article length: 1000-1500 words for more info - joke@journal.media-culture.org.au - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2003 M/C Journal Issue Deadlines 'joke' editors: Paul Denvir & E.

Increasingly we, our contributors, and our readers are finding that the most powerful of these cultural formations and their most provocative critical challenges are combining text, images, and sound: we use to watch films; we now consume DVD assemblages of multiple cuts, interviews, and games. We use to only print our work; we are now publishing web sites that embed that work in multimedia settings. In response to these cultural and disciplinary changes, Post Identity has partnered with the University of Michigan’s Scholarly Publishing Office to transform itself into an audio-, graphic-, and video-enhanced web-based journal that can make available the new forms and subjects of contemporary critiques of identity, as well as more traditional text-based scholarship. The theme for our Winter 2003 special issue is “Identifying New Media.” We are looking for submissions that theorize how new media forms (DVDs; e-books; Internet blogs, digital archives, interactive gaming; etc.) are changing cultural and academic understandings of identity and authorship, and/or how new media might provide models for new forms of scholarship. We especially are interested in experimental work that performs its theory, such as essays or projects that offer alternative models to the standard academic essay. We are interested in the relationship between the form and content of academic discourse, and the ways in which this discourse might evolve in light of the new media scene. We invite the immediate submission of 300-word abstracts of essays and other academic projects on this theme. We encourage submissions from a variety of theoretical perspectives and from all disciplines for which the critique of identity is of vital and central concern. Final essays/projects should fall within the range of 3,000 to 10,000 words and will be due September 30, 2003. Please submit abstracts to Professor Rosemary Weatherston at weatherr@udmercy.edu. Past print issues of Post Identity are available until September 2003 at http://liberalarts.udmercy.edu/pi/. The new web-based format of PI is under construction at http://www.hti.umich.edu/p/postid/. Editorial Board Houston A. Baker, Jr. • M.

Best regards, Phil ********************** Call for Papers Critical Discourse Studies: An interdisciplinary journal for the social sciences A Routlegde Journal -- New for 2004 http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17405904.asp Editors: Norman Fairclough, Lancaster University, UK Phil Graham, University of Queensland, Australia Jay Lemke, University of Michigan, USA Ruth Wodak, University of Vienna, Austria Authors are invited to submit papers for publication in Critical discourse Studies, a peer-reviewed international journal published by Routledge-Taylor & Francis. Critical Discourse Studies is an interdisciplinary journal for the social sciences. Its primary aim is to publish critical research that advances our understanding of how discourse figures in social processes, social structures, and social change. The journal has been established in response to the proliferation of critical discourse studies across the social sciences and humanities. We will consider for publication papers that meet the needs of scholars in diverse disciplines and areas of study which develop critical perspectives on the relationship between discourse and social dynamics. Relevant areas and disciplines include, but are not limited to: anthropology communication cultural studies education ethnic studies gender studies geography history legal studies linguistics literary studies management studies media studies migration studies philosophy political economy political science psychology sociology technology studies urban studies The ediitors also welcome papers which connect critical academic research with practical concerns and agendas, including those of activist and grassroots political movements. The scope of critical discourse studies is not limited to linguistic studies, or articles that are primarily empirical or analytical. Critical examination of non-linguistic phenomena that take a significant discourse orientation, as well as theoretical and methodological papers that advance critical understandings of discursive phenomena, are welcomed. Recognising the diversity, depth, and history of scholarship in the growth of critical discourse studies, no particular theoretical, disciplinary, or methodological "schools" or paradigms will be privileged over others in the selection of papers for publication. The primary criteria for publication are originality, scholarly rigor, coherence of argument, relevance and timeliness of research. Critical Discourse Studies encourages contributions from both new and established scholars. The journal recognises that the new and rapidly changing social relations of the current age call for new approaches and new understandings that bridge disciplinary and cultural boundaries. Therefore the editors strongly encourage the submission of papers that help us achieve these aims. Critical Discourse Studies aims to be accessible. It aims for papers that are written clearly, explain key terms and concepts in an accessible way for readers at many levels, and recognise the needs and interests of its diverse community of readers. For further information, or to submit manuscripts, email editorial@cds-web.net . Further information, including notes for authors, is available at the Routledge-Taylor and Francis Critical Discourse Studies webpage: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17405904.asp.

The question remains, however, how the Internet can be used for the support of democratic decision making and citizen participation ("e-democracy"). In order to achieve this, technical challenges have to be solved; however, also legal and political aspects have to addressed. The OCG working group e-democracy was founded in autumn 2002 and addresses e-democracy in its entirety. The aim of this proceedings volume is to summarize the current state of the discussion not only in Austria, but also on the development of e-democracy on an international scale. This call for contributions addresses mainly the presenters in the course of the working group but contributions from all researchers and practitioners in the field of e-democracy are welcome. Contributions may specialize in the fields of IT-related issues, legal, political or sociological aspects of e-democracy. Both theoretical research, comparative studies and case study reports are welcome. Publication: The volume will be published in the series OCG/Forum e-Government. Editors: Prof. Alexander Prosser, Mag. Robert Krimmer The members of the working group serve as review board. Language of contributions: German or English Kind of contribution: Either a Full Paper (4.-5.000 words) or a Short Note (1.500 words) shall be submitted. Important Dates: 31st July 2003: Deadline for submitting extended abstracts (500 words) 20th August 2003: Author Notification of Acceptance 30th September 2003: Submission of camera-ready papers The proceedings volume will be presented during the OCG AT21 conference in Vienna (18th November 2003) and Graz (4th December 2003) to the general public (AT21 dates are subject to change).

Wilson Ever since the printing press gave us the logotype (or since even earlier, when chattels and communiqués carried the owner's specific 'brand') symbols have been created to condense ideas and functions of ownership, advertisement, distinction and desire. In concert with the rise and proliferation of capitalism, the logo gained importance, to the point where contemporary western capital is primarily concerned with symbolic production. From a simple distinguishing mark, to seductive enticement, the logo now rides shotgun on the interface of contemporary capitalism. The prominence of the contemporary logo is evidenced by the attention given it in schools of management, design and cultural studies, by the feverish corporate work attendant upon brand maintenance, and not least by the recent focus by anti-capitalist movements on the logo as a ready symbol, and startling vulnerability, in the edifice of corporate capitalism. Naomi Klein's No Logo, a publishing sensation in 2000, gave a popular account of (and manifesto for) activism that focuses on the brand-driven multinational; groups like Adbusters modify advertisements to critical ends; boycotts and actions target particular logo-dependent corporations. More recently, though, the "logo-centric" approach embodied in such critiques and actions has been questioned for its effectiveness, and the quality of its analyses. It's not only other activists wondering whether all this reduces to a form of consumer sovereignty-style activism, but others who want to proclaim the aesthetic value and efficacy of the logo as a lubricant of flows and exchange. Is logo-based activism the new left- puritanism? Is it too unsystematic a critique to make real changes? Or is it the last, best chance to rally critique against an increasingly pervasive and dromocratic form of capital? Is the logo the brain-candy of consumerism, or the latest refinement of communicative (t)arts? The articles in this issue address a wide range of these issues. We invite you to explore the views of our contributors!

Seems like a kind of new and interesting idea. Apparently they've been at this for a couple years and this feature has video commentary from Geert Lovink (see him on <nettime> a lot), so they've got some cred. Definitely check out the video clips and some of the essays posted.

It has just appeared in the journal 'ephemera' (www.ephemeraweb.org) - see issue 3(2) Best, Steffen - ------- Where Do We Go From Here? Notes on the Anti-Capitalist Movement After Evian Max Watson Abstract: At the end of May this year, the G8 leaders of the world met in Evian, France, and the European anti-capitalist movement met at the same time to protest against their world of war, imperialism, third world debt and famine. The protestors gathered in Geneva and Annemasse, as the 30km red zone around Evian made entrance into the town impossible for all but the delegates of the richest nations on earth. After joining the protests and some of the debates in Geneva, I would like to take the opportunity of this note to report back on some developments from the Evian protests, and introduce some of the questions and issues of organisation faced by the anti-capitalist movement. The Evian anti-G8 protests were an opportunity to bring together the European social movements, the anti-capitalist movement, and the anti-war movements. The coming together of the European Social Forums in Florence last year made the anti-war movement truly international. What exactly is the relationship between the anti-war movements and the social forums? How are they to develop, locally and nationally, in the UK? What need is there for such organisation? And on what level are the social forums actually creating alternative democratic assemblies to the G8 World leaders of imperialism? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 18:43:37 -0400 From: "Jeremi Sudol" <jeremi@ijijij.com> Subject: 306090 06> Call for submissions _____-____-____--_-__ For Immediate Release: 306090 06> SHIFTING INFRASTRUCTURES is accepting submissions for publication. www.306090.org/30609006.htm Call for works: Our territorial and occupational processes are increasingly negotiated through mobile communication methods and information technologies. Systems of communication, data and material distribution (newscasts, fashion trends, freight shipping, peer-to-peer file sharing software) create their own unique infrastructures and inform existing exchange structures. Newscasts, for example, require and affect events reported as well as the physical hardware and transmission channels through which they broadcast. Thresholds, transitions and discontinuities embedded in this dynamic of infrastructural exchange suggest new (participatory or empirical) processes to strategically discharge immanent manifestations of matter and information. 306090 06>SHIFTING INFRASTRUCTURES will examine the current technological infiltration into civic and social realms, where physical and cultural infrastructures across diverse spatial and temporal scales are redefining themselves as shifting, modulating entities via the use of new technologies.
