1 Call for Papers Digital Material/ism: How Materiality shapes Digital Culture and Social Interaction First Issue of Digital Culture & Society Abstract deadline: February 1, 2015 The idea of a society, in which everyday smart objects are equipped with digital logic and sensor technologies, is currently taking shape. Devices connected as learning machines to the Internet of Things necessitate further research on issues related to digital media and their materiality. In this context, media, culture and social theories, dealing with the materiality of digital technology, have gained increasing relevance. Investigations of digital material have given rise to a wide range of (new) research questions, approaches, and issues. From the early 2000s onwards, we can identify two major strands of research that developed: (1) from the technological and material conditions of hardware and software towards (2) the social/political/economic/legal infrastructures and power relations of proprietary networks and platforms. The eventual establishment of research fields such as software studies, critical code studies, media archaeology and the notion of the post-digital represented by scholars such as David Berry, Wendy Chun, Alexander Galloway, Mark Hansen, Katherine Hayles, Friedrich Kittler, Lev Manovich, William Mitchell, Anna Munster, Adrian Mackenzie, Jussi Parikka, Eugene Thacker, and others, can also be understood as indicators of an institutionalisation of media-materialistic research. For the first issue Digital Material/ism, the newly founded Digital Culture & Society journal calls for further methodological and theoretical reflection on issues of digital materiality and digital materialism. Approaches may be rooted in (digital) media and cultural studies, as well as social sciences. Interdisciplinary contributions, for example, those from science and technology studies, are likewise welcome. Paper proposals may relate to, but are not limited to, the following topics: - the internet of things, smart objects and ambient intelligence - augmented environments - wearables (and augmented reality) - hardware studies and Open Hardware - hacker, Maker and DIY Culture - post-digital media research - media ecologies and e-waste - agency of assemblages We invite submissions, which may react to, and expand on to the following questions of Digital Material/ism :

2 Digital Culture & Society Call for Papers Digital Material/ism 1. Field Research and Case Studies We invite papers on socio-technological developments related to digital media materiality. Articles may examine usage and production, as well as spaces and contexts of smart objects; e.g. wearable computing devices, or beacons. Contributions may be based on (empirical) case studies. They may likewise address discourses of truth and evidence related to digital media materialism; e.g. in a metaphorical sense (see Boomen 2014) or as governmental alignment, such as forensic materialism as suggested by Kirschenbaum (2008). How do materialistic positions tacitly use metaphors of clinical or administrative control to assure the relevance and societal benefits of their devices? How is the notion of smart/ness used in order to promote new forms of technological interactions with, and surveillance of the physical environment? 2. Methodological reflection We invite contributions that address methodological issues of approaches focused on digital media materiality. What are the methodological implications of such technological developments? What ethical challenges do researchers face; e.g. related to the data enabled by new digital media technology and their material features? 3. Conceptual/theoretical reflection We invite papers that address key notions in the discussion of digital materiality, and question epistemological assumptions. Materiality is a crucial term, which only entered the discussion of digital media studies in the 2000s. Historically, how was the notion of materiality developed with regard to digital media? Moreover, in which philosophical traditions do the key representatives of Digital Materialism place themselves? In what ways do they assume canonical models when examining the transcendental, empirical, or historical-material conditions of data networks? Following Matthew Kirschenbaum s (2008) conception of formal materiality as the imposition of multiple relational computational states on a data set or digital object (Ibid, p. 12), we are interested in the practical relevance of the materiality of recording, storing and processing (alongside the technical modelling of storage, digital objects, discrete data and metadata-guided processing operations). Thereby, we subsequently consider the results of Matthew Fuller s (2003; 2008) work, Software as a historical knowledge base : it has its own history and does not only follow technological norms and standards, but also yields social, institutional and cultural settings. Deadlines and contact information Initial abstracts (max. 300 words) and a short biographical note (max. 100 words) are due on: February 1, 2015 Authors will be notified by February 16, 2015, whether they are invited to submit a full paper. Full papers are due on: May 1, 2015 Please send the abstracts and full papers to: Ramón Reichert ramon.reichert@univie.ac.at Annika Richterich a.richterich@maastrichtuniversity.nl 2

4 Digital Culture & Society About the Journal About the Journal: Digital Culture & Society Digital Culture & Society is a refereed, international journal, fostering discussion about the ways in which digital technologies, platforms and applications reconfigure daily lives and practices. It offers a forum for critical analysis and inquiries into digital media theory. The newly established journal provides a publication environment for interdisciplinary research approaches, contemporary theory developments and methodological innovation in digital media studies. It invites reflection on how culture unfolds through the use of digital technology, and how it conversely influences the development of digital technology itself. The journal is a research platform for those who are interested in the interdisciplinary field of digital media studies. It involves topics such as New Materialism, Gamification, Surveillance and Privacy, Big Data, Sensory Ethnography, Quantified Self, Extimacy, and Digital Cartography. This however, is a non-exhaustive list, and new topics will continuously supplement these themes due to the dynamic of the research field. The journal s goal is to create a crossdisciplinary repository on the interconnection between research fields such as media studies, cultural studies, science and technology studies, sociology, gender studies, anthropology, game studies, media/art history and information science. It welcomes contributions addressing the relevance of interventional approaches, such as research by design and media archaeology, or input related to material culture studies, actor-network theory, critical code studies and software studies. Digital Culture & Society seeks contributions that display a clear, inspiring engagement with current debates in theory and/or methodological issues. Emphasising the relevance of new practices and technology appropriation for theory as well as methodology debates, the journal also encourages empirical investigations. The journal s structure reflects the editors aim to spark and incorporate the discourse on digital media practices, theory, history and methodologies. Each issue consists of 3 main sections: 1. The thematic section of each issue is dedicated to an overarching topic, which will be examined through interdisciplinary contributions. Topics are specified in the respective call for papers. The editors aim to include a range of articles that involve theoretical and/or methodological debates, where appropriate, in the light of authors own empirical investigations. 2. Entering the Field is dedicated to the presentation of empirical work and potential research fields in digital media studies. The editors have created this section to provide a platform for researchers who are not able to provide a full-fledged paper yet, but would like to initiate a discussion concerning their research material or methodological insights. 3. In Conversation with... presents dialogues between the editors and authors of recently published works in the field of digital media studies. Thereby, the overall topic of the published work is integrated and located within the wider frame of the journal s emphasis on digital culture and society. 4

5 Digital Culture & Society About the Journal Submission procedure Initial submissions should be abstracts only. The editors invite contributions which react to the topic/s suggested in the respective call for papers. Early stage research might be suggested for the section Entering the Field. It should show a relation to the CfP, although the main argument may be less developed than in the case of the papers for section 1. The editors will select abstracts; and authors will then receive an invitation for the submission of a full paper. Authors who are invited to submit a full paper will receive further information on the journal s guidelines (citation, formatting, etc.). The full papers will be peer-reviewed and the authors will receive the feedback of the reviewers for a final revision of their paper. The publisher will provide final editing. Submission guidelines The initial abstracts should be 300 words in length. Authors are asked to submit a short biographical note indicating their institutional affiliation. Invited full paper submissions should be words in length for the main section. Submissions to Entering the Field should be no longer than words. Information about the publisher Digital Culture & Society will be issued as a printed journal and distributed online by transcript. The publisher is based in Germany and focuses on interdisciplinary research in media studies, cultural studies and media/art history. Visit: The journal addresses an international audience and will involve authors from diverse disciplinary and national backgrounds. Being based in Europe, it aims at encouraging dialogue referring to European perspectives on digital media theory and research. A peer review procedure will ensure the quality of publications. The editors likewise wish to foster an inclusive publication policy, with particular regard to the inclusion of non-native English speakers. In cases where the reviewers are convinced of a paper s academic quality, but raise concerns related to its style or grammar, language editing may be provided. The editorial board is an international network of researchers from Austria, the Netherlands and Germany: Ramón Reichert, University of Vienna (AT); Annika Richterich, Maastricht University (NL); Pablo Abend, University of Cologne (GER); Mathias Fuchs, Leuphana University Lüneburg (GER); Karin Wenz, Maastricht University (NL) For further information feel free to contact: Ramón Reichert ramon.reichert@univie.ac.at Annika Richterich a.richterich@maastrichtuniversity.nl 5
