*CFP* "CRITICAL ICT INFRASTRUCTURES AND PLATFORMS", 14TH CMI INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

 Critical ICT infrastructures and platforms

14th CMI International Conference

Hybrid (online/In-person): 25-26 November 2021

 

ICT infrastructures and platforms are increasingly pervasive and critical for societies, systems and organizations and for individuals. It is, therefore, of great importance that efficient and resilient infrastructures are developed and deployed and that disruptions of services caused by either cyber-attacks or other interruptions of services are mitigated. Also, as digital platforms constitute crucial communication infrastructures for societies, it is important that such platforms contribute to democratic processes and economic and social fairness.

The 14th CMI conference will be concerned with these topics from different complementary angles: The development and deployment of fast and efficient communication infrastructures including cloud and edge technologies; resilience of ICT systems in order to increase cyber security and mitigate cyber-attacks; institution of social practices and governance approaches that will promote democratic discussions and processes, contribute to economic and social development, equity and fairness, and protect privacy.

*CFP* CALL FOR ARTICLES, VOL. 1, 2020, JOURNAL OF IBERIAN AND LATIN AMERICAN RESEARCH

The Thematic Group 19, Digital Communication, Networks and Processes, of the Latin American Association of Communication Researchers -ALAIC-, is calling for papers for a special issue of Routledge's Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research.


Themes and scope

The digital communication evidences, in the last decades, significant transformations in the daily life and in the habits of audiences. Through this process, the construction of a new ecosystem is observed, in which technology becomes invisible, despite its significant relevance. However, we cannot say that the devices are at the centre of the transformations. The adaptations and reinterpretations of the users dialogue permanently with the strategies proposed by the industry within the interfaces. As a whole, these changes influence the perception of space, time, memory, among other aspects. And, viewed with a historical perspective, they also influence culture.

*CFP* “POWER, JURISDICTION AND SURVEILLANCE”, SPECIAL ISSUE OF INTERNET POLICY REVIEW

The rise of digital technology has major implications for how states and corporations wield coercive regulatory power through the transnational administration of justice. Increases in data transmitted and stored by public and private actors across jurisdictions raise crucial questions about how individual rights and freedoms can be protected in an era of seemingly ubiquitous transnational surveillance. 

The expanded development and application of domestic and international law to address behaviour in digital spaces, includes existing law applied to online activities, and new law to cover a growing range of internet-specific conduct. A pertinent site of state and corporate power in the digital realm involves attempts to develop and enforce domestic laws, especially criminal laws, transnationally. These processes generally occur outside existing domestic legislative frameworks, and raises questions about how national sovereignty, extraterritoriality and state and corporate interests are expanding at the expense of individual rights and freedoms in digital societies.

*CFP* "DISSOLVING BOUNDARIES OF HYBRID JOURNALISM", THEMATIC SECTION - SCOMS

Studies in Communication Sciences (SComS). Call for Papers for the Thematic Section 1/2020. "The Dissolving Boundaries of Hybrid Journalism: Rethinking News Work Between Datafication, Hacking and Activism" .- Guest editors: Dr. Colin Porlezza (City, University of London) & Dr. Philip Di Salvo (Università della Svizzera italiana)

As journalism becomes increasingly networked and datafied – produced by different actors with different backgrounds, intentions and norms – new types of hybrid journalism arise. These hybrid forms of journalism often transcend traditional conceptions as journalists increasingly engage in activism or in collaborations with whistleblowers, hackers algorithms and artificial intelligence or machine learning. While this trend challenges the binary thinking of what journalism is and what it is not, it also enables new forms of journalistic truth-telling (Baym, 2017). This call wants to explore, discuss and shed light on the different types and forms of hybrid journalism, what hybridity actually means and what consequences it entails for news work.
