Founded in 2003, the Information, Medium & Society – The Publishing Studies Research Network is brought together by a shared interest in
investigating publishing practices as distinctive modes of social knowledge
production.
We are inviting proposals for paper presentations, workshops/interactive
sessions, posters/exhibits, or colloquia addressing one of the following
themes:
Theme 1: Informational Foundations
Considering the nature and forms of information, and the changing roles
of creators, publishers, as mediators of social knowledge.
- What is authorship? Individuals and collectives
- Who are audiences? Space and scale of information sharing
- More than texts? What are our definitional frames
- Whose information? Reconciling public and private domains of information production
Theme 2: Determining and Determined Mediums
On the changing processes of textual production and distribution from
past to present, and the impacts of digitization and the internet on the future
of publishing.
- The work of media archaeology: from letterpress to photolithography, to print-on-demand and digital
- The demands of mediums: metadata, resource discovery, infrastructure
- The evolution of the manuscript: from rare books to archival practices, indexing and cataloguing in the electronic age
- Devices as interfaces: e-readers, tablets, phones
- Finding content: databases, datasets, portals, platforms and media collections as forms of publishing
- The curation of objects and artifacts
Theme 3: Societal Impacts
Distribution, collection and discovery of published artifacts.
Consideration of the form, structure, and processes of libraries, archives,
multi-media portals.
- Whose content? Copyright, licensing and rights
- Impacts where? Assessment and evaluation of research and its impact
- Dominant cultures? languages, inclusion, and participation
- Who pays? Financial models for scholarly, technical, and trade publishing
- Public and private points of access? The changing roles and functions of libraries, repositories, and content aggregators
