Subject: [Ada_list] SCANZ 2013 3rd nature selections for hui

Hi,

We are pleased to announce the following successful applicants from the
first round of calls for hui-symposium abstracts. The second call is due
on September 7th, so consider getting something in. The abstracts below
are grouped, but these will likely change. It is also not clear yet
whether we will group topics, or have interdisciplinary sessions. Here
is the symposium call page which has details on how to lodge abstracts:
http://wp.me/p2lf7s-at


We are aiming for non-hierarchical sessions, with seating in circles and
panellists among the audience for example. This was tried at ISEA in
Istanbul last year, initiated by Nina Czegledy and followed in the Eco
Sapiens Round Table where Te Huirangi Waikerepuru spoke. We also intend
a more relaxed, open discussion type atmosphere for suitable
presentations.

[Ada_list] August 11 & 13: S/Zports: A Training for the Possible Wor(l)ds

/Two performances this week - join us online!/

One of the performances from 101010, S/Zports: A Training for the
Possible Wor(l)ds
<http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=1043#s/zports> will be restaged
this week as part of an exhibition of extended media, "Zagrebi Dublje
(Scratch Deeper)" at the ULUS Gallery in Belgrade. Four of the original
artists - Miljana Peric, Julijana Protic, Suzon Fuks and Jelena Rubil –
will be joined by Vicki Smith, Valentina Tibaldi and Helen Varley Jamieson.

The online audience and those in the gallery will participate in a
series of training acts for passing through the contexts of Seeing vs.
Zapping of meaning – a process of decomposing the problem/notion that
traditional warship's enslaving is re-placed with
sport-industry-caused-spectactors'-passivity. Is it a coincience that
the Olympic Games are taking place simultaneously?

The performances will be at 5am NZ time on Saturday 11 August and on
Monday 13 August - yes, a little bit early for those in Aotearoa, but
Vicki will be getting up even earlier than that to limber up for the
show, so make some coffee and come along to cheer her on! If you're not
in NZ, click here to find your local time <http://tinyurl.com/cbfsc2y>.

There will be a live link here <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=4052> to
the stage about half an hour before each performance – just click on the
link to enter the stage.

The exhibition runs from 9-21 August; more information in Srpski here
<http://www.ulus-art.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=878:zagrebi-dublje-u-galeriji-ulus&catid=2:galerija-ulus&Itemid=3> or

[Ada_list] alert: Trolls - a new call for papers from Fibreculture

:::A call for papers for the Fibreculture Journal follows:::

CFP- Special Issue for the Fibreculture Journal: The Politics of Trolling and the Negative Space of the Internet

Edited By Jason Wilson, Christian McCrea and Glen Fuller


A great deal of thinking about the Internet and politics is still structured by a desire for deliberative democracy. From 1993 – when Howard Rheingold enunciated one of the Internet's key founding myths – the virtual community – scholars have sought and found communities characterised by a mutuality of interests, a common purpose, a collaborative striving to renovate the democratic ideal, a tendency towards the "regulative idea" of the ideal speaking position, and an acknowledgement of the obligations of citizenship within the political association. For so long the Internet has continued to function, in Barbrook's formulation, as a "redemptive technology". Social media is just the latest in a long line of technologies which may, on a certain vision, rescue liberal democracy, with its decaying civic life and corrupt media, from itself.


There is, proportionally, too little attention to the everyday conflicts that haunt all such communities. Some conflict is temporary, and can be accounted for in terms of long-standing democratic theory. But some conflict is persistent, intractable. Some of it is gratuitous, and deliberately disruptive. Online, those who bring it about are often subject to normative disapprobation. Sometimes people call them trolls.


"Troll", as a term of moral opprobrium, indicates an online actor who is not interested in deliberation, but in derailing it. Trolling is not apt to be captured by network maps or visualisations of online publics, because these teachniques cannot discern which nodes in a conversational network are created in bad faith, or in a spirit of disruptive play. Trolls are not interested in redeeming democracy through deliberation, and they mock attempts to do so. Trolls respect no procedural rules, though they may be generative of them. Trolls are the constitutive outside of online communities of political discussion, they are the intolerable of the most tolerant communities. Trolls are usually someone else, defined from our own position and interests. When they are not, and we inhabit trolling, we discover that trolling requires know-how, close reading, experience, sometimes sympathy with those we would disrupt.


What are the consequences to seeing trolling and other forms of affective behaviour as the norm, rather than the aberrant? The discourse of digital art has long since told this story, but the intellectual desire for open and constitutive democracy has overridden the 'actually existing democracy' of bullying, trolling, threats, inane memes and low signal-to-noise ratios. What would happen if we started to think of trolling as the central practice in online discourse? What if trolling is the Internet's signature mode of discursive politics? What if we started to think about trolling as a practice which is generative rather than destructive?


This special issue of fibreculture seeks a range of perspectives on trolling, online conflict and incivility. Twenty years on, it looks to interrogate the founding myth of virtual community with accounts of generative conflict, strategic incivility, and productive trolling.


We seek papers on a range of topics not limited to:


Trolling, activism and politics

The persistence and ubiquity of online conflict

Trolling as a business model: the mainstream media and clickbait

Gendered aspects of trolling and incivility

4chan and trolling; activism and meme factories

Trolling and cyberbullying

Complaints about trolling and the "hatred of democracy" – are complaints about trolling really an attempt to re-gentrify political debate?

Cultures and rituals of trolling – troll culture and the celebration of lulz

Trolling and "cyber-bullying"

The Internet and agonistic politics

Trolling and counterpublics

The grammar of trolling

Trolling as the glitch in social network analysis and "big data"

Popular culture, trolls and the democratization of politics

Tabloid media, professionalization of trolling and the economics of opinion

Trolling as cyber-bullying, internet as masochistic survivalist playground

The pleasures of trolling

Trolling the trolls

The art and 'new aesthetics' of trolling

The gamification of trolling
