CfPs Digital Icons: E-Wars & E-Governance
Digital Icons - our journal formerly known as Russian Cyberspace - is doing well. The latest issue, on social media, was recommended by new-media specialist Evgeny Morozov in Foreign Policy; and Jeffrey Carr, in his popular blog IntelFusion, called it an "exceptional body of research" and "the premiere work on Russian Social Networks."Eager to publish in one of our next issues? Issue 3 and 4 are in the making as we speak, and we invite submissions both on general aspects of new media use in Russia, Eurasia, and Central Europe, and on the issues' thematic clusters.For issue 3 - 'Between Big Brother and Digital Utopia' - this will be e-governance in post-totalitarian space. We are interested in research exploring the evolution and impact of e-governance in the Russian Federation and other post-Soviet states; but we invite submissions on digitised government in post-Communist Europe (Poland, Bulgaria, etc.), as well as comparative essays on other countries (particularly the People's Republic of China) that include analyses of states within the former Soviet bloc.Issue 4 is guest-edited by Adi Kuntsman from the University of Manchester. Kuntsman is compiling a thematic cluster on a field in which her own research specializes: that of digitally mediated wars and commemoration practices. For 'War, conflict and commemoration in the age of digital reproduction', Kuntsman welcomes submissions that investigate the way wars and conflicts are mediated, commemorated, reported and discussed on the Internet as well as in other forms of new media, including mobile phones, digital broadcasting and computer games.Now these are two ultrabrief summaries. If you are interested in one of the two CfPs, I suggest you surf to our 'forthcoming' page. There you find a full CfP, with information on deadlines, publication guidelines and contact information.ER
