Call for Papers
‘Curating Affective Technologies’


Following our Flinders University (South Australia) ‘Curating Affective Technologies’ un-conference and paper workshop we’re calling for submission of full 5000 word papers for a special issue of Media International Australia (MIA) slated for publication in November 2017 and edited by Drs. Son Vivienne and Tully Barnett.

Our 2016 humanities research theme ‘Technologies of Memory and Affect’ has offered multiple avenues for engagement. We call for papers on themes including but not limited to:


•             Objects that transmit or mediate cultural memory (such as photographs, websites, handmade paper, digital media, art or activism);

•             Objects that capture the personal (books, movies, websites, media);

•             Places that catalyse social and cultural memory (landscapes, sites, spaces);

•             Digitisation processes that layer multiple strands of affect;

•             Digitisation processes that preserve and discover historical and family documents

•             The materiality of maker cultures

•             The body in digital media

•             Social media as cultural memory technology

•             The workings of gender, sexuality and the body in the mediation of cultural memory


Important dates:
30 Dec 300 word abstract
16 Jan authors notified
6 March deadline 5000 word papers
