CALL FOR PAPERS

INTERNET RESEARCH 9.0: RETHINKING COMMUNITY, RETHINKING PLACE
International and Interdisciplinary Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) Copenhagen, Denmark

Workshops / Doctoral Colloquium: October 15th, 2008 AoIR. conference: October 16–18th, 2007 [das muss dann wohl 2008 heißen]

Deadline for paper submissions: February 8th, 2007 [dito]

RETHINKING COMMUNITY, RETHINKING PLACE
In the past few years, new forms of net-based communities have emerged, distributed on various websites and services, and making use of several media platforms and genres to stay connected. Now, as mobile and location-based technologies are reintroducing “place” as an important aspect in the formation of communal and social activities, it is time to consider and rethink the concept of online or virtual communities. Not forgetting the lessons we have learned from studying the early virtual communities, how do we describe, analyse, theorise and design the communities and social formations of the early 21st century? How do we address the blurring of boundaries between places and communities on- and offline?

We call for papers, panel proposals, and presentations from any discipline, methodology, and community, and from conjunctions of multiple disciplines, methodologies and academic communities that address the conference themes.

Sessions at the conference will be established that specifically address the conference themes, and we welcome innovative, exciting, and unexpected takes on those themes. We also welcome submissions on topics that address social, cultural, political, economic, and/or aesthetic aspects of the Internet beyond the conference themes. In all cases, we welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions as well as international collaborations from both AoIR and non-AoIR members.

SUBMISSIONS
We seek proposals for several different kinds of contributions. We welcome proposals for traditional academic conference papers, but we also encourage proposals for creative or aesthetic presentations that are distinct from a traditional written ‘paper.’

We also welcome proposals for ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS that will focus on discussion and interaction among conference delegates, as well as organized PANEL PROPOSALS that present a coherent group of papers on a single theme.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
All papers and presentations in this session will be reviewed in the normal manner. Detailed information about review and submission will be available through the conference submission website: http://conferences.aoir.org in early January 2008.

Format
- PAPERS (individual or multi-author) – submit abstract of 600-800 words

- CREATIVE OR AESTHETIC PRESENTATIONS – submit abstract of 500-750 words

- PANEL PROPOSALS – submit a 600-800 word description of the panel theme, plus 250-500 word abstract for each paper or presentation

- ROUNDTABLE PROPOSALS – submit a statement indicating the nature of the roundtable discussion and interaction

Papers, presentations and panels will be selected from the submitted proposals on the basis of multiple blind peer review, coordinated and overseen by the Program Chair. Each individual is invited to submit a proposal for 1 paper or 1 presentation. A person may also propose a panel session, which may include a second paper that they are presenting. An individual may also submit a roundtable proposal. You may be listed as co-author on additional papers as long as you are not presenting them.

PUBLICATION OF PAPERS
Several publishing opportunities are expected to be available through journals, including a special issue of “Information, Communication & Society”, based on peer-review of full papers. The website will contain more details.

GRADUATE STUDENTS
Graduate students are strongly encouraged to submit proposals. Any student paper is eligible for consideration for the AoIR graduate student award. Students wishing to be a candidate for the Student Award must send a final paper by June 30, 2007.

Ph.D. students will also want to consider participating in the Doctoral Colloquium: Following the very successful examples of previous Doctoral Colloquia, we will again aim to offer an all-day Doctoral Colloquium on October 15th 2008 (Wednesday) for Ph.D. students who wish to present their current work for critical evaluation by their peers and senior scholars. Submission and registration details will be available on the conference website http://conferences.aoir.org as soon as possible.

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
Prior to the conference, there will be a limited number of pre-conference workshops which will provide participants with in-depth, hands-on and/or creative opportunities. We invite proposals for these pre-conference workshops. Local presenters are encouraged to propose workshops that will invite visiting researchers into their labs or studios or locales. Proposals should be no more than 1000 words, and should clearly outline the purpose, methodology, structure, costs, equipment and minimal attendance required, as well as explaining its rel+evance to the conference as a whole. Proposals will be accepted if they demonstrate that the workshop will add significantly to the overall program in terms of thematic depth, hands on experience, or local opportunities for scholarly or artistic connections. These proposals and all inquiries regarding pre-conference proposals should be submitted as soon as possible to both the Conference Chair and Program Chair and no later than March 31, 2007.

      aha, du hast die aoir-liste als einzelmails und nicht als daily digest abonniert, oder? :)

      When is next year’s conference? I am assuming all the requirements will be pretty much the same for entry as this one right?
