Subject: 'Placing Mobile Communications' - call for papers/conference &
special issue journal
Dear CSAA,
We thought that The Cultural Studies Association of Australasia and its
members would be interested to know about the following call for
papers/conference & special issue journal.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Clare
'Placing Mobile Communications'
call for papers/conference & special issue
a stream for the
Australian & New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) conference
2008 http://anzca08.massey.ac.nz/ & special issue of the Australian
Journal of Communication (36.1, 2009)
Convenors/editors: Clare Lloyd, Scott Rickard, and Gerard Goggin.
---------------------------------------------------
Call it a mobile, cell phone, or keitai; when an incoming call is heard,
both power and place concerns arise. Mobile telephony adoption and usage
is about power and place. The power of the mobile is increasing as it
integrates with other everyday technologies, objects, and across media
platforms. Currently there is significant emerging work on mobiles in
various disciplines in Australia and New Zealand, as part of a vibrant
international reckoning of mobiles and online technologies.
In this light, the aim of the Placing Mobile Communication stream, and
associated special issue of the Australian Journal of Communication, is
to bring together researchers undertaking work on mobiles, with the
particular aim of offering an opportunity to present and reflect upon
Australian and New Zealand work in progress. We also wish to encourage
discussion on where mobiles fit into media and communications
traditions, and also on how local work fits into, and reconfigures,
various contexts (regional, international, subcultural, national).
Abstracts that examine the subject area from different theoretical and
methodological approaches are welcomed. Suggested topics include (but
are certainly not limited to):
Gender politics and the mobile phone
Locating the local and the global with mobiles Theories of the digital
divide and the mobile phone Mobility and cultural geography The
integration of mobile phone use into professional and personal life
Mobile phone use from both mass and interpersonal communication
perspectives Mobiles as media The place of mobiles in media, new media,
and communications studies Reflections on the mobile, and mobile
research, in Australia and New Zealand Mobiles policy, regulation, and
political economy
Contributions under these topic areas are welcome, as are suggestions of
other topics - please email all three convenors: Clare Lloyd
(Clare.Lloyd at newcastle.edu.au), Scott Rickard
(scott.rickard at arts.monash.edu.au), and Gerard Goggin
(g.goggin at unsw.edu.au).
