Media Cultures,
University of Brighton, East Sussex, UK.
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the forthcoming
symposium entitled ‘Studying Digital Vulnerabilities, violences and resistance:
methodological challenges and epistemological dilemmas in gender and
sexualities research’.
The symposium is organized jointly by the Centre for Transforming
Sexuality and Gender and the Centre for Digital Media Cultures at the
University of Brighton, UK. This multidisciplinary symposium aims to bring
together academics and professionals, to discuss, advance and exchange ideas on
the use of Web-based methods to research social phenomena such as violence,
social suffering, intimacy, activism, or inequality.
The day will focus on methodological challenges, ethical dilemmas and
epistemological discussions that scholars have encountered and how they have
overcome them. Academics working on digital vulnerabilities and digital
violence, as well as those working outside academia, involved in challenging
inequality and discrimination (through activism, advocacy, art, etc.), are
invited to attend and to contribute.
With this in mind, we invite proposals that explore, but are not
restricted to, the following topics:
- Digital vulnerabilities
- Digital violence (cyberbullying, doxxing, etc.)
- Sexual violence in digital environments
- Other forms of gender violence in digital environments
- Digital sexual practices
- Circulation and representations of violent contents
- New forms of e-discrimination
- Digital intimacies
- Toxic technocultures
- Social practices on the Deep Web and Dark Web
- Conflicts on the web (social media etc)
- Digital activism
Presenters are in particular encouraged to articulate their proposal
around the methodological aspects of their research, which may also include
epistemological debates, ethical problems, technical issues, innovative
research methods, etc.
We call for potential speakers to submit a short proposal in English.
Abstracts should not exceed 300 words.
Please also include a short biographical note (150 words max).
The deadline for the submission of proposals is April 15th, 2020.
