The Call for Papers (reminder)

"Reviewing humanness: bodies, technologies and spaces"

What is it to be human today? How are developments in science
andtechnology affecting the human experience? Developments in the
lifesciences offer new ways of understanding and intervening in
bodilyprocesses. Human influence is distributed through
socio-technical
networks and artifacts. Transnational connections and imaginings
extendour conception of humanness. What concepts do we need to
understandthese processes and to address their practical and
politicalconsequences?

"Reviewing Humanness" forms the theme for biennial conference of
theEuropean Association for the Study of Science and Technology, to
be heldin Lausanne, Switzerland from 23rd to 26th August 2006. Paper
and
session proposals addressing any aspect of the theme are welcomed.
Allmembers of the science, technology and innovation studies
community areinvited to attend and there will be open paper sessions
for topics
outside of the theme.

@ ISEA2006 SYMPOSIUM CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
FOR PAPERS AND PRESENTATIONS.
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 15 JAN 2006

ISEA2006 seeks paper and presentation proposals responding to the
Symposium themes of Transvergence, Interactive City, Community
Domainor Pacific Rim. This is the only call for papers and
presentations that there will be for ISEA2006.

What tactics, issues and conceptual practices expose or inform the
distinctions of these subject terrains relating to contemporary art
practice? What theoretical analyses illuminate art practice engaged
with new technical and conceptual forms, functions and disciplines;
provide for innovative strategies involving urbanity, mobility,
community and locality; examine the role of corporations, civic
cultural organizations and their relationship to strategic planning;
serve to expose new portals of production and experience; and provide
for provocative analysis of contemporary political and economic
conditions?

The ISEA2006 Symposium is discussion and conversation based. This
orientation is intended as a break from the tradition of reading
academic papers and the formalities of panels and is the result of a
month-long online discussion with 21 international participants (see
list below). All sessions are moderated, include respondents and are
designed to encourage audience participation. Session formats will
emphasize questioning, debate and provocation. Papers, abstracts and
poster texts will be pre-published on the web and in print. There
will be a pre-symposium online public forum designed to encourage
interaction between symposium presenters and the public to provide
for discussion and debate.

We are seeking proposals for papers, artist and poster sessions.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE FOR OPEN CALLS

You must login and create a submission using the official ISEA2006
submission tool.

http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/register/submission.php

Open: November 15th, 2005
Closed: January 15th, 2006

Submissions will be evaluated by the ISEA International Program Committee.

SYMPOSIUM THEMES

INTERACTIVE CITY:

http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/thematic.html#interactive
http://www.urban-atmospheres.net/ISEA2006/

There is an invisible city growing among the growth of the megacity,
and it is the electromagnetic, hertzian spectrum that flows
ceaselessly with data about and from and between us, but which is
always activated by the interfaces of commerce and government-cell
phones, surveillance cameras, marketing databases, navigation systems
that will alert us to a nearby sale. We imagine the city itself as
an interface, which accesses the future, the past, the distant, the
present, the communal, the individual in marvelous ways that allow us
to enjoy the 'opaque and fictitious thickness' of an invisible city
made visible.

PACIFIC RIM:
http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/thematic.html#pacific
http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/prnmscall2/

The political and economic space of the Pacific Rim represents a
dynamic context for innovation and creativity framed by issues of
economic globalization, isolationist nationalism, regional
integrations and environmental change. The concept of a Pacific Rim
is that of a complex geo-political-economic framework that
necessarily includes a vast network of city-states, regions and their
associative relationships that exist beyond the mere geographic
location or assignment of populations. Artists, designers, theorists,
cultural producers, researchers, urban planners and creative
strategist
responsive to the rapidly transforming cultural ecology of
Pacific-Asia conditions are invited to submit proposals that serve as
platforms for discussion and debate.

TRANSVERGENCE:

http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/thematic.html#trans
http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/transvergence/index.html

Transvergence goes beyond the disciplinary. Creative interplay of
disciplines to catalyze artistic, scientific, and social innovation
is evidenced by decades of multi-/ pluri-, inter-, and
trans-disciplinary discourse and practice. The models of the
think-tank, media lab and research centre have shown their limits
since the 80s and 90s, as have
tactical media activism tied to the logic of events, and NGOs facing
the donor system's arduous accountability requirements; university
research is often encumbered by best-practice driven managerial
culture, and 'creative industries' clusters are subject to economies
of scale and uneven divisions of labour. ISEA seeks new visions of
organizational and participatory models as structures of possibility
for transvergent practice.

COMMUNITY DOMAIN:
http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/thematic.html#community
http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/communitydomain1

The Community Domain theme stands in relation to contemporary debate
about 'Public Domain 2.0' (Kluitenberg, 2003), but emphasizes the
idea of domain from a grass roots perspective and the idea of
community
starting with the individual rather than the demographic. In other
words, the goal is not to train people to become artists but to use
digital and networked technologies to allow people to participate in
the creation of their own stories - to become producers rather than
only consumers.

SYMPOSIUM STRUCTURES AND CALLS

There are three types of Calls for Participation:

Papers
Posters
Artist Presentations

There will be a limited number of Panel presentations shaped in
relation to the Symposium themes. Panels may be proposed or the
organizers may curate these based upon Paper, Poster and Artist
Presentation proposals.

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Papers submitted will be pre-published on-line with presentations
limited to 10 minutes. Paper presenters will be grouped thematically
to encourage discourse that presents divergent perspectives and views
that serve as a catalyst for conversation.

Submission of proposal abstracts: January 15th, 2006
Notification: February 28th, 2006
Final manuscripts: June 10th 2006


Accepted abstracts will be posted online. Final manuscripts will be
pre-published online beginning July 1st. A one month online
pre-symposium public discussion forum will feature accepted Papers in
one week sessions dedicated to each symposium theme. Authors must
commit to having papers available for publication by June 10, 2006.

CALL FOR POSTERS:

Poster Sessions are scheduled throughout the Symposium to provide
opportunity for the presentation of individual or group projects or
research. Poster Sessions represent a significant opportunity for the
presentation of creative, scholarly or community based initiatives.
Sessions are moderated. Posters will be on display continuously with
scheduled author attendance.

Submission for Posters: January 15th, 2006
Notification of acceptance: March 15th 2006

Posters submissions must be presented in a standardized format.
Posters are 4 x 5 ft. and must be in a form that can be attached to
presentation boards at the Symposium. A limited number of standard,
networked computer stations will be available to complement the
posters.

CALL FOR ARTISTS PRESENTATIONS:

Artists Open Mic sessions provide an opportunity for explication of
artistic achievement responsive to the Symposium themes.
Presentations are limited to 5 minutes and will be grouped together
by the organizers
as appropriate to subject matter. An assigned moderator will
coordinate presentations and audience questions. We recognize, of
course, that the Artist Presentations are inadequate to fully present
one's work, and we encourage artists to present paper and poster
proposals as well as work (see http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/calls.html).
We especially encourage artists whose work has been accepted to the
Symposium and Festival to submit a presentation proposal.

Artists submissions should include a brief description of the
proposed work to be presented along with appropriate documentation.

Submission of proposals for artist presentations: January 15th, 2006
Notification: March 15th, 2006

All Panels and Artist Presentations will be Webcast live and also
available as podcasts immediately following presentation.

OTHER CATEGORIES OF PARTICIPATION

There are five additional categories of Symposium presentations that
contribute to the overall scope of Symposium proceedings: Keynotes,
Emergent Topics, Summit Presentations, Organizational Meetings, Chat
Rooms. These are described below. Presenters in these categories will
be determined by the IPC. They may be selected from submissions for
Papers, Artist Presentations, and Poster Sessions, but please it is
not
possible to submit directly in these categories:

Keynotes: Keynote presentations are invited featured speakers.
Sessions include a respondent/moderator and have extended
opportunities for audience interaction.

Emergent Topics: Dedicated sessions on day 3-4 of the Symposium that
are a direct response to the discourses, topics and interactions
stemming from days 1-2. Speakers and topics will be identified
through a ballet system involving all Symposium participants and
audiences.

Summit Presentations: There are four pre-symposium Summits focused on
special topics: The Pacific Rim New Media Summit hosted by San Jose
State University; Interactive City hosted by Intel Berkeley Lab;
Creative Communities Forum hosted by the City of San Jose; Artists,
Corporation and Policy hosted by Montalvo Arts Center; and Technology
Ethics and Environment hosted by Santa Clara University. Each will
have a dedicated session for presentation of research, projects and
analysis outcomes.

Organizational Meetings: Provision for meeting times and spaces for
international cultural organizations, institutes and programs to host
meetings specific to their constituency.

Chat Rooms: Chat Rooms are for break out discussions and emergent
conversations stemming from Symposium interactions. These are
self-organizing sessions based on Symposium interactions and
trajectories.

Other Calls: Please note that there are several calls for art
projects still open. Also, there will be a separate call for
workshops. See
http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/calls.html.

@ Call for Papers: Open Session "Cultural Studies and the Research of
Digital Games" at: Crossroads Conference at Istanbul Bilgi University
(Turkey)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 18 JAN 2006

http://www.crossroads2006.org 20-23 July 2006

The investigation of computer games still is a field seldomly
considered in academic research. In contrast to this, a large public
interest in the possible "effects" of computer and video games
exists, which seems understandable since this "leisure time activity"
plays an increasingly central role in the life of many young people
and adults. Thus game research has to examine potentials of meaning,
patterns of interaction and readings contained in the representations
of the game and their influence on the player's "lifeworld". The
actual forms of appropriation of this "new" medium vary widely e.g.
different forms of identity construction and community building,
therefore the following session search for papers that address a wide
range of topics and focus
especially on the relationship between Cultural Studies and game
research.

To submit a paper to this session, please send an abstract of maximum
150 words to the Session Organizer Markus Wiemker
(markus@...).
The deadline for the submission of papers is January 18, 2006.

Best wishes, Markus Wiemker

@ CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS: "Misuse and Abuse of Interactive Technologies"
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 10 JAN 2006

CHI 2006 Workshop
This workshop is highly interdisciplinary and may be of interest to
members of this group. The workshop organizers are also working
towards journal and book publications in addition to the workshop
proceedings.

Date: Saturday, April 22 (Full day)
Venue: Montreal, Canada, http://www.chi2006.org/
Submission Deadline: January 10

Workshop Web-site: www.agentabuse.org

So far research into the user's emotional engagement in computing has
addressed pleasurable affective states such as enjoyment, fun, and
playfulness. Abuse: The darker side of human-computer interaction at
Interact 2005 explicitly addressed negative emotions in computing. It
was concluded in this workshop that interface design and metaphors
can inadvertently rouse more than user dissatisfaction and angry
reactions:
they can promote a wide range of 'abusive' behaviors that are
directed not only towards the machine and the interface but also
towards other people (http://www.agentabuse.org/papers.htm).

The purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop is to explore
interactive systems as targets and medium of disinhibited behavior.
The goal is to bring together researchers who have encountered
instances of negative
user behaviors in HCI, who might have given some thought to why and
how such behaviors happen, and who have some ideas on how pro-active,
agent based interfaces, should respond. Workshops discussions should
provide a foundation for understanding the misuse and abuse of
interactive technologies and for developing a systematic approach to
designing
interfaces that counter negative behaviors.

Some of the larger questions and issues we hope to address during the
workshop are the following:
- How does the misuse and abuse of the interface affect the user's
computing experience?
- How do different interface metaphors (embodied conversational
characters, windows, desktops) shape a propensity to misuse or abuse
the interface?
- What design factors trigger or restrain disinhibited behaviors?
- How does computer-mediated abuse differ from other forms of abuse,
e.g., the abuse of people, symbols, flags sacred objects, and
personal property? Is it appropriate to use the term abuse in this
context?
- Putdowns and other forms of verbal abuse are a part of our
everyday social world. It is something we try to diffuse and avoid.
How can we develop embodied conversational characters that learn to
constrain users who engage in verbal abuse? Do we even need to
diffuse it?
- Is the act of verbally abusing a conversational agent anti-social
behavior or is it the expression of social norms reflecting an
asymmetric power distribution where the user is the master and the
agent the slave?

As the workshop is intended to be interdisciplinary, we hope the
questions and methodologies discussed will be of interest to a broad
audience, including social scientists, psychologists, computer
scientists, and those involved in the game industry. To help inform
our questioning, we also welcome philosophical and critical
investigations into the misuse and abuse of computing artifacts.

Prospective participants should send a 2/4-page position
paper(following the CHI extended Abstract format
www.chi2006.org/ceaf.php) to
Antonella.de-angeli@....

Further information on the workshop can be found at www.agentabuse.org.
