COMUNICAÇÃO E CULTURA ANTROPOFÁGICAS

mídia, corpo e paisagem na erótico-poética oswaldiana

de

Miriam Cristina Carlo Silva

Comunicação e Cultura Antropofágicas, de Miriam C. Carlos Silva, origina-se da pesquisa realizada para sua tese de doutoramento. A autora analisa a obra de Oswald de Andrade, que esteve e estará sempre vocacionada a demandar pesquisas capazes de trazer para a superfície questões e problemas fundamentais da literatura brasileira que, por diversos motivos, por exemplo, de diversidade, ficaram ocultos.

Míriam, com sua leitura crítica minuciosa, compreende, na natureza aberta da obra oswaldiana, com suas construções experimentais, aspectos midiáticos, independentemente do que se entende como mídia. O que importa é que suas discussões e interpretações, fundamentadas em uma vasta obra teórica, retomam, hoje, questões importantes sobre a construção da cultura e da comunicação, como um processo de intensa antropofagia.

Desse modo, as idéias contidas neste livro apontam caminhos para se pensar a cultura como o resultado de uma relação dinâmica com as mídias, que são parte de um todo que é a comunicação.

Entender aquele intrincado momento da história da cultura e da literatura brasileira, em que Oswald de Andrade pratica suas experiências, é o que Míriam pretende ao conferir múltiplos valores à obra do modernista, centrando-se principalmente na literariedade da obra literária oswaldiana.

Míriam Cristina Carlos Silva é doutora em Comunicação e Semiótica pela PUC – SP, roteirista, produtora cultural e professora do Programa de Mestrado em Comunicação e Cultura da Universidade de Sorocaba – UNISO. Desenvolve pesquisa sobre Comunicação Visual Urbana com o apoio da FAPESP.

CFP, Web_site Histories: Theories, Methods, Analysis

Call for Papers

Conference title: Web_site Histories: Theories, Methods, Analysis

One-day conference, October 14th 2008. The main purpose of Web_site 
Histories is to place the new and emerging field of Web History on 
the research agenda and to map the field of historical website studies.

Organizer: The Centre for Internet Research, University of Aarhus, 
Denmark.

The conference is associated the AoIR 9.0 conference "Rethinking 
Communities, Rethinking Place" in Copenhagen (http://
conferences.aoir.org)

Confirmed keynote speakers:
Kirsten Foot, Associate Professor, University of Washington
Steven Schneider, Professor, State University of New York
Title: Object-Oriented Web Historiography.
Abstract: Foot & Schneider will present a keynote address that 
focuses on their proposal of an “object-oriented” approach to 
researching and writing Web history. They will consider the various 
meanings of object entailed within the notion of object-oriented Web 
historiography in order to advance both the theoretical foundation 
and methodological rigor of developmental analyses of Web artifacts 
in their hyperlinked contexts. Developmental analyses of any aspect 
of the Web, whether engaged in contemporaneously or retrospectively, 
entail dynamics within and between the (co)producers of Web 
artifacts, production practices and techniques, and Web artifacts 
themselves. These dynamics make it difficult but very important for 
scholars to identify and situate their object(s) of analysis 
historically and theoretically. See extended description at http://
www.cfi.au.dk/en/events/conferences/wsh08/keynote.
Kirsten Foot and Steven Schneider are the authors of Web Campaigning 
(MIT Press 2006) as well as a number of articles about Web Sphere 
Analysis.

A panel will round off the conference by discussing the future 
directions of studies of Web History. Besides Kirsten Foot and Steven 
Schneider panel participant will be Niels Brügger, Associate 
Professor, the Centre for Internet Research, University of Aarhus.

The main purpose of Web_site Histories is to place the new and 
emerging field of Web History on the research agenda and to map the 
field of historical website studies. The focus on the Web can be seen 
as a specialization within the larger field of Internet History, but 
with another subset of questions and challenges. The underscore in 
the title reflects the uncertainty and variability of the object of 
study – are we talking about the Web in general, Web Spheres, 
individual websites, or web pages? The conference welcomes papers on 
any of these approaches or any other theme, topic or idea connected 
to the theories, methods or analysis of Web History. Theoretical 
approaches could be discussions of the object of study or reflections 
on doing historical research on this particular subject. 
Methodological approaches may include abstract or more specific 
considerations of the range of applicable methods, both old and new, 
to Web History. Finally, the analytical approach welcomes 
contributions exploring the practical hazards and possibilities of 
this special kind of empirical material, as well as papers on 
concrete empirical studies.

Papers are also welcome on a wide array of historically-grounded 
themes. The topics below are examples of the kinds of issues paper 
presenters are invited to address — but are not intended to limit 
topics suitable for paper submissions:
·      General as well as more specific histories of the development 
of the Web, focusing on, for instance, technology, graphic design, 
culture etc.
·      The history of the Web as a subset of the history of the 
Internet, with emphasis on, for instance, the development of 
hardware, software and protocols
·      The organizational architecture of the Web in a global, 
national, transnational or local perspective
·      Defining moments and events on the Web, either in terms of how

the Web was conceived and built, or in terms of how it is or was 
perceived and used
·      Demographical, social, cultural, or other factors influencing 
Web use and uptake
·      Political, economic, institutional or personal histories of 
the Web
·      The growing popularity of social networking sites in a 
historical perspective
·      Interactivity, genre and media discussions in relation to the
Web
·      The histories of expectations in pre-web time meeting the 
reality of the Web
·      Source availability and validity – the archiving of the Web
·      The history of the Web in the larger framework of media history

Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words by April 15th 2008 
(further instructions at http://www.cfi.au.dk/en/wsh08). After a 
process of double-blind peer review, authors will be notified of 
accepted papers by May 15th. Full papers will be due by August 31st 
2008. Please note that there is a maximum of 30 participants, and 
priority will be given to paper presenters. Paper presentations will 
consist of short presentations with opponents/discussants and 
roundtable-style discussions. Presenters are therefore also expected 
to act as opponents/discussants.

Participation in the conference is free, and coffee and lunch is 
included (yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch). Following the 
conference, papers will be considered for inclusion in an edited 
volume on Web Histories.

The conference takes place at the University of Aarhus, two days 
before the start of the AoIR 9.0 conference in Copenhagen (http://
conferences.aoir.org). Aarhus is situated west of Copenhagen and is 
the second largest city in Denmark with a population of approximately 
300,000. It is accessible by train or by air via the Aarhus or 
Billund airports. Read more about Aarhus and the university: http://
www.au.dk/en/why and http://www.au.dk/en/aarhus.htm.

The Centre for Internet Research is located at the Institute of 
Information and Media Studies, and was established in September 2000 
in order to promote research into the social and cultural 
implications and functions of the internet. Read more about the 
Centre: http://www.cfi.au.dk/en/about/profile

Conference website: http://www.cfi.au.dk/en/wsh08.

Call for abstracts: Fourth annual RFID Symposium

Colleagues:

Abstract submissions are invited on a broad range of themes related to
RFID.

RFID:

Integrated Supply Chains

Symposium

Fourth annual symposium will convene at
Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business,
Waco, Texas, U.S.A.



September 18-19, 2008

Even though RFID (radio frequency identification) business applications
have evolved over the past couple of decades, there is no doubt that it
is an emerging technology for identifying and tracking objects which
holds many promises for closing the time-lag gaps in information
transfer for improving supply chain operation productivity. This
RFID-awareness has prompted much discussion about its benefits,
challenges, and security issues. The theme of this symposium is the
use
of RFID in supply chains. Sessions will address the massive interest
in
this old technology, which is changing the landscape of integrated
supply chains. The use of RFID ranges from asset tracking to cashless
payment to homeland security, and more.



Speakers at the event will discuss RFID strategies and implementation
used to accomplish this. Abstract submissions are invited on a broad
range of themes including (but not limited to):




* Health Care
* Transportation
* Inventory control models
* Order fulfillment
* Managing technology in the value chain
* Integration of planning and procurement

CFP: Call for authors on book(s) about digital culture

If interested, please contact Dr. Kavoori listed below.

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THREE EDITED BOOKS (Edited by Andy Kavoori,
Grady College, University of Georgia, Athens, GA)

Book 1: Gaming: An International Communication Perspective
This edited book will address Gaming
(video, on-line, single/multipleplayer) by
examining its sociological relevance from
a global perspective (most current
books have an American focus).
Papers should examine one or more of the
following topics:
(a) History: Growth of gaming as a global industry,
discourse and media product
(b) Representation: How gaming environments construct
the world (this could be for example,
a textual/content analysis of games that
are international in content)
(c) Politics: The political universe of Games.
Of special interest to the editor are case
studies of Gaming and War/Terrorism
(especially games like America's Army and Islamogames)
(d) Theory: Stand-alone theoretical essays that
frame the field of Gaming using international
communication theory (for example, political
economy, cultural studies, post-
colonial studies, globalization theory).
Please send abstracts by March 30th to
akavoori@yahoo.com and put in
the subject line "abstract for international gaming book."

Book 2: The Digital Culture Reader
This edited book will examine the
discursive content of on-line mass
mediated digital culture.
Essays are invited for four sections of the book which
will be focused on (a) Stand alone theoretical
essays on the subject of "digital culture"
defined within the fields of digital cultural studies,
technology studies, sociology/anthropology,
and media studies. Essays examining institutional
development, historical context, and international
import are especially welcome.
(b) Essays on the "texts" of You Tube
(b) Essays on the "texts" of My Space and Facebook
and (c) Essays on the "texts" of Second Life. The
methodological approach may include content,
textual, rhetorical, discursive, ethnographic
and other methods commonly used in digital cultural
studies. Some specific questions that the
textual analysis essays might address
include:
(1) What happens to questions of identity politics
(race, class, gender and sexuality)
in the constructs of Youtube, Facebook/MySpace and Second
Life?
Does digital culture move the debate about identity politics beyond the
big
four
(race, gender, etc) and construct new hybrid/virtual/idiosyncratic
vocabularies
for the presentation of identity politics?
(2) Does the digital imagination (the process of creating consumer
generated
content) reconfigure questions of democracy, citizenship, entertainment
and
representation?
(3) What are the ranges of discursive constructs across cultural /
national
and
global contexts? Studies that examine non-western digital content on
the
above
websites are especially welcome.
Please send an abstract by March 30th to akavoori@gmail.com and put in
the
subject line "abstract for digital culture book."

Book 3: Journalism/Gaming: Mapping the Intersection
This edited book seeks to bring together two of the most important
contemporary industry trends—the rapidly changing nature of digital
journalism
and the world of Gaming, both centered on youth culture, practices and
politics.
The two industries have historically been seen as separate —with
traditional
mass media journalism, positioned as a place where the serious work of
citizenship takes place and Gaming seen as a vehicle for
consumption—and for
its critics, a discursive dead end focused on violence and pleasure.
Both
industries have a very specific orientation youth culture—Gaming is
at the
heart
of youth culture; traditional journalism appears to have little
resonance
with
young people.
This book takes as its goal the articulation of a theoretical,
empirical and
political vision that argues that Journalism and Gaming need to be
engaged –
that new genres, modes of participatory culture, political action and
ideas
about
citizenship need to be strategized in order to make such a connection
possible.
To that end, the collection seeks essays that (a) articulate the terms,
conditions
and theoretical frameworks that may be usefully applied in "mapping the
intersection" between Journalism and Gaming. The editor is especially
interested
in essays that apply theories of one field onto the other, i.e.
theorists of
Journalism writing essays about Gaming and theorists of Gaming
examining
Journalism. (b) Case studies of Games (video, on-line, single,
multiplayer)
where
"Journalism" broadly defined is taking place—this may include studies
of the
use
games that build on contemporary news events or use of games such as
"Palestine" (c) cross-cultural and global trends in the use of
Journalism/Gaming,
especially as they relate to issues of media and war/Terrorism. (d)
Media
education projects that emphasize the connections between these two
industries.

Please send an abstract by March 30th to akavoori@hotmail.com and put
in the
subject line "abstract for journalism/gaming book".

TIME LINE: Once abstracts have been collected, a formal proposal will
be
submitted to leading scholarly publishers (the editor has long-standing
relations with a number of publishers and has initiated negotiations).
Full
papers will be sought from selected contributors once contracts have
been
signed (approximately, mid fall, 2008).

JOURNAL OF COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION
SPECIAL ISSUE ON
Young People, Mediated Discourse and Communication Technologies

CALL FOR PAPERS
Guest Editor:
Crispin Thurlow
University of Washington

IMPORTANT DATES
Abstracts due: July 1, 2008
Full papers due: November 1, 2008
Publication: April 2009

ISSUE FOCUS
After cybersex and e-commerce, perhaps the most widely discussed
CMC-related issue is so called 'cyberkids' and the 'net generation'.
Almost on a daily basis there are stories in the media addressing adult
concerns about young people's involvement with new communication
technologies like instant messaging, text messaging and social
networking sites. These popular representations are often speculative,
anecdotal and exaggerated. Young people are typically caught in a
no-win
situation: on the one hand, they are depicted as being somehow
naturally
predisposed and automatically 'wired' to new technologies; on the other
hand, they are viewed as being enslaved to technology, as either
arch-consumers or tragic victims.

CMC and new media scholars know well that generalizations about
technologically-mediated communicative practices are inherently
problematic, conflating as they do important differences in the
affordances and constraints of different technologies. By the same
token, the homogenizing rhetoric of 'net generation' and 'cyberkids'
conceals the diversity of young people's lives and their experiences
with communication technology. Most popular discourse also overlooks
those disadvantaged young people who cannot simply take the internet
and
more recent technologies for granted.

This special issue of JCMC seeks to answer a simple question: what are
young people really doing with new communication technology? Papers are
sought which examine children and teenager's mediated discourse - in
other words, their actual language and communication practices. Papers
should therefore be empirically grounded, situated and contextual (e.g.
user- and use-specific). By no means exhaustive, papers might address
the following types of research questions:

* how are young people reworking standard linguistic forms and
practices?
* how do young people themselves talk about new technology and/or
its role in their lives?
* how are new technologies seen to be supporting young people’s
interpersonal needs?
* how are young people using technologies for artistic, political
and other creative purposes?
* how are new communication technologies connecting different
groups
of young people?

Papers reporting findings from diverse and under-represented social
backgrounds are especially welcome.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
Potential authors should submit a preliminary proposal of 500 to 750
words by June 1, 2008 to the guest editor Crispin Thurlow (thurlow @
u.washington.edu - please put "JCMC Special Issue" in the subject
line).
Proposals should include the central research question, the theoretical
and/or empirical basis for the paper and preliminary findings,
interpretations or insights. Those interested in submitting a proposal
are also encouraged to contact the guest editor with their questions
and
ideas.

Authors whose proposals are accepted will be invited (by August 1,
2008)
to submit for review a full paper of roughly 7,000-10,000 words by
September 1, 2008. The JCMC is an interdisciplinary journal and so
authors should plan for papers that will be accessible to
non-specialists and try to make their paper relevant to this audience.
Anticipated publication date for the issue is April 2009.

Final submissions should be emailed to the guest editor, Crispin
Thurlow
at thurlow @ u.washington.edu. Again, please put "JCMC Special Issue"
in
the subject line. The usual JCMC manuscript guidelines should be
followed.

NOTE ABOUT "YOUNG PEOPLE"
There is no shortage of scholarly research on college-age people - a
convenient and often captive audience! As a consequence, it sometimes
feels as if we know more about this period of the lifespan than we do
about any others (Thurlow, 2005). In an attempt to redress this
imbalance and to give voice to a major new-media constituency, this
special issue will give priority to papers which make the experiences
of children and teenagers a central focus - in other words, young people
under the age of twenty (to use an otherwise arbitary cut-off point).
Papers which focus on young, colleage-age adults are encouraged to
situate their data/analysis with reference to the broader lifespan.

Call for papers CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work)

We invite you to submit results of your research to the 2008 ACM
conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW 2008), to be
held November 8-12, 2008 in San Diego, CA, USA. The conference brings
together top researchers and practitioners who are interested in both
the technical and social aspects of collaboration.

In recent years the conference has moved beyond traditional "work" to
include the broader issues of how we play, socialize, and compete - all

forms of collaborative activity that are now mediated by technologies.
As more and more people in all regions of the globe are able to
interact
online we are rapidly moving toward a Computer Supported Cooperative
World.

Appropriate topic areas for CSCW include all contexts in which
technology is used to mediate human activities such as communication,
coordination, cooperation, competition, entertainment, education,
medicine, art, and music. The technology may include: email, instant
messaging, blogs, shared workspaces, teleconferencing, games,
co-located
systems, robotics, haptics, and emerging technologies.

Given the broad charter of the CSCW research area we are particularly
encouraging submissions that push the boundaries of CSCW research and
that illustrate the many and diverse technologies which facilitate
collaboration. This year we are especially inviting submissions on the
following topics:

* Social Systems: Social Network Sites and Collective Intelligence
* Computer Supported Cooperative Care/Health
* Multi-player gaming and Virtual Environments
* Enterprise 2.0, Mashups
* Visions of future directions for CSCW
* Human Robotic Collaboration (HRC)
* Collaboration with and through advanced sensing systems

While we are encouraging topics that push the boundaries of CSCW the
committee welcomes research from topics that represent the core themes
which have made CSCW an intellectually rich and rigorous community.
Topics that have appeared in past CSCW conferences and which are still
welcome include:

* Innovations and experiences with Intranets, the Internet, WWW
* Innovative installations: CSCW and the arts, media, museums, etc.
* Innovative technologies and architectures to support group
activity, awareness and telepresence
* Social and organizational effects of introducing technologies
* Theoretical aspects of coordination and communication
* Methodologies and tools for design and analysis of collaborative
practices
* Ethnographic and case studies of work practice
* Working with and through collections of heterogeneous
technologies
* Emerging issues for global coordination and communication
* Studies exploring the appropriate balance between individual and
collaborative work.
* Systems for emergency preparedness and large-scale rapid
deployment (e.g. disaster relief)

Cinematizações: idéias sobre literatura e cinema

Com duas partes - fora de campo, que se concentra na estética das relações entre literatura e cinema, e em campo, que enquadra, na cinematografia nacional, um momento histórico e duas produções originadas de obras literárias - Cinematizações trata, em seis ensaios, de algumas das infinitas manifestações do imagético. O espelho espetacular examina a expressão da palavra e da imagem e suas representações simbólicas nos discursos literário e cinematográfico. Diálogo das ilusões aborda aspectos tecnológicos, estruturais e fenomenológicos da literatura e do cinema como arte e linguagem. O percurso literocinematográfico discorre sobre como, pela intermediação do roteiro, se pode estruturar um filme a partir de um livro. Chanchada com cê maiúsculo, que abre a segunda parte deste livro, investiga a existência de uma tradição cinematográfica nacional, pautando-se pela teoria de Antonio Candido sobre a formação da literatura brasileira.
O triângulo prudente propõe uma análise específica sobre o processo de cinematização, evidenciando o discurso simbólico na tradução da novela Alves & Cia (1925), de Eça de Queiroz, para o filme Amor & Cia (1998), de Helvécio Ratton. Por fim, Ambigüidades circulares busca no estudo de Augusto Massi sobre o romance Estorvo (1991), de Chico Buarque, a presença de três ambigüidades, que se referem à identidade, ao espaço, e ao tempo, para revelar como o cineasta Ruy Guerra as introduziu na narrativa do filme homônimo (2000).

The Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF)

The Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF) is a strategic fellowship program designed to help graduate students in the humanities and social sciences formulate doctoral dissertation proposals that are intellectually pointed, amenable to completion in a reasonable time frame, and competitive in fellowship competitions.

The program is organized around distinct “research fields,” subdisciplinary and interdisciplinary domains with common intellectual questions and styles of research. Each year, an SSRC Faculty Advisory Committee selects five fields proposed by pairs of research directors who are tenured professors at different doctoral degree-granting programs at U.S. universities. Research directors receive a stipend of $7500. Graduate students in the early phase of their research, generally 2nd and 3rd years, apply to one of five research fields led by the two directors; each group is made up of ten to twelve graduate students. Fellows participate in two workshops, one in the late spring that helps prepare them to undertake predissertation research on their topics; and one in the early fall, designed to help them synthesize their summer research and to draft proposals for dissertation funding. Fellows are eligible to apply for up to $5000 from SSRC to support predissertation research during the summer.

The program is administered by the Social Science Research Council and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Lançamento da Revista Grumo 06 no Rio de Janeiro

Aqui vai o convite para o lancamento da revista Grumo, n.6 (apresentacao e indice seguem abaixo) que será no dia 22/01 (terça-feira), a partir das 18:00 hrs, no Espaço Rio Carioca, na Rua das Laranjeiras, 307, anexo, Casas Casadas, aqui no Rio de Janeiro.

Apresentação
Algumas mudanças chegam com este número da revista. Grumo 6 está dividida em dois volumes, que giram em torno da relação entre espaço e cultura, cidade e periferia, identidade e território.

Evidentemente, discutir essas questões implica pensar sobre nós mesmos. Efetivamente, Grumo não é apenas uma convocação a atravessar as fronteiras, nacionais e lingüísticas, mas sua própria existência é híbrida e transnacional.

Nesses cinco anos que viemos publicando a revista e promovendo encontros, consolidamos um diálogo entre Brasil y Argentina, entre o português e o espanhol. Afiançar esse espaço nos impulsionou a buscar ampliar a convocação e levá-la para o resto da América Latina.

“Nossa América” vive, há alguns poucos anos, um momento de transformação. Quando, em 2002, começamos a pensar em Grumo, o panorama era muito diferente. Naquele momento, sentíamos que havia um grande vazio. Vieram outros governos e outras políticas: nunca houve tantos esforços como atualmente para criar laços de integração econômica entre países. No entanto, até que ponto as idéias, os livros, as experiências artísticas circulam?

Entre a globalização como fenômeno mundial e a integração como projeto em certos países da América do Sul, vivemos desenvolvimentos complexos e contraditórios. No interior de cada cultura nacional, vão sendo traçadas novas fronteiras entre modernização e esquecimento, entre exclusão e inclusão. Ao mesmo tempo, a cidade das letras se amplia e se diversifica, escorre do centro às margens. Geram-se circuitos de produção e circulação de arte, literatura, cinema e música.

A proposta de Grumo é intervir nesse debate a partir da crítica acadêmica, mas também da literatura, da arte e da imagem. Da atitude como forma de estar no mundo.

5th International Symposium of the Centre for Caribbean Studies in Brazil

5th International Symposium of the Centre for Caribbean Studies in
Brazil –
CECAB

“Frontiers and Cultures in Motion: Africa, Brazil, Caribbean”

Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

30 September – 3 October, 2008



The relentless contact between economies, cultures, nations and peoples
in
the current globalization, the displacement of cultural and
geographical
frontiers, the hierarchization of ethnic and cultural values,
imperialist
domination, political, social and cultural marginalization and
exclusion
continue to manifest as negative aspects of globalization.  The
simultaneity
of times and spaces as the Atlantic became the main stage for unequal
contacts between peoples from Africa, America and Europe caused the
“modus
perpetuus” in which cultures and peoples find themselves in constant
movement, whether due to internal dynamics, or because of the
displacements
of migrations or the technological development that began in  the 15th
and
16th centuries.



Atlantic relations modified the cultural and geopolitical spaces of
Africa
and America through colonization and the African Diaspora.  Within this
context, Brazil and the Caribbean are represented as regions of deep
cultural interstices where African and Amerindian cultural expressions
were
hidden or ignored under the stigma of backwardness and barbarism.  At
the
same time, Africa is presented as an ancestral region of peoples and
ethnicities that are subaltern to the New World, as a place of static
and
homologous cultural traditions, or of backwardness and
underdevelopment,
obscuring the relationships between its multiple cultures.



Thus, political and cultural interconnections between Africa, Brazil
and the
Caribbean are the result of a common colonial past and the relations
maintained between these regions in the current globalization process.
 In
this way, to think of these cultures as being in motion is to react
against
the static notions of center and periphery, of monolithic identities
and
cultures fixed in tradition, of borders as limits and not as liminal
spaces
open for negotiation and intercultural dialogue, but also for debate
and
tensions, as well as respect for cultural diversity.[11] <>
msocom_1> [11]



To promote discussion on these issues, the Center for Caribbean Studies
in
Brazil (CECAB), along with Universidad Federal da Bahia (UFBA), is
organizing its Fifth International Symposium, which will be held in
Salvador, Bahía from September 30th to October 3rd 2008, with theme
“Frontiers and Cultures in Movement: Africa, Brazil, and the
Caribbean”.



The Center for Caribbean Studies in Brazil (CECAB) is a research center
which is one of the research groups from CNPq Lattes Platform.  It is
linked
to the Federal University of Goias and is a not-for-profit scientific
and
civil entity.  Founded in 1999, it is the only Brazilian scientific
center
devoted to the study of cultures of African origin and of the Caribbean
in
general, operating at the national and international level.  The
majority of
its members are historians, anthropologists, educators, linguists, as
well
as persons from other disciplines, with varied academic backgrounds and
from
different institutions such as Universidad Fluminense, Universidad
Federal
de Bahía, Universidad Federal de Minas, Universidad de Brasilia,
Universidad
de Maranhão and others, thus contributing to the interdisciplinary
debate.
CECAB edits each semester the Revista Brasileira do Caribe,  a
scientific
journal which publishes articles in Spanish, French, English and
Portuguese
written by researchers interested in Caribbean cultures and their
relation
to other regions.



CECAB symposiums take place every two years and gather researchers from
all
over the world and from different disciplines such as Anthropology,
Arts,
Education, Economy, Philosophy, Geography, History, Linguistics,
Sociology
and others.



The State of Goias has hosted the previous symposia in three different
cities: the First and Third in Goiania (2000 and 2004), the Second in
the
city of Goias (2002) and the Fourth in Caldas Novas (2006).  These
symposia
spawned debates, exchanges and cooperation and research projects
between
CECAB and other centers of study as well as national and international
faculties and universities.  CECAB participation in the 32nd Congress
of the
Caribbean Studies Association signaled an important moment in the
development of this center, not only for the extensive participation of
Caribbean scholars but also due to the visible presence of CECAB
publications.  The staging of the Fifth Symposium in Salvador
represents the
consolidation of the various interinstitutional cooperation projects in
Brazil as well as abroad.



The Fifth CECAB International Symposium was planned around the
establishment
of six working groups that will discuss the following topics:



*        Comparative analysis

*        Visual arts, literature, music

*        Gender, sexuality and generation

*        Patrimony and representation

*        Politics and national identities

*        Religion and religiosity



As in the previous symposia, CECAB and UFBA are confident that the
Fifth
Symposium will be a magnificent opportunity to bring together
researchers
from diverse fields who are interested in Caribbean cultures and their
relationships with other regions; increase interdisciplinary and
academic
debate; foster social, political, economic and cultural actions; as
well as
strengthen relationships of academic cooperation at the national and
international level.

Call For Article Proposals for MCP Special Issue on Civil Society Media
(CSM) and Policy (Deadline Jan 28)


Dear Colleagues,

I am currently preparing a proposal for a special issue of the Journal
Media
and Cultural Politics (http://ics.leeds.ac.uk/mcp/). Your proposal for
an
article, or suggestion of appropriate authors, themes, and relevant
books
for review are welcome. The special issue zooms in on groups that
create and
distribute media ('civil society media' organizations, or CSM) and how
they
are affected by the policies of governments, funders, and even other
civil
society groups. What do policies that support democratic grassroots
media
practices look like?

Leads for topics and people to approach are welcome until Jan 23.
Abstracts
are due Jan 28,  full articles April 30. A seminar is planned for
contributors to discuss and deepen this work in fall this year. Planned
publication is in Feb 2009.

You are welcome to forward this message to interested colleagues, but
PLEASE
DO NOT USE THE FORWARD BUTTON of your e-mail program, but please kindly
CUT
AND PASTE the text into a new message. Thank you.

==================================================
(1) Introduction

This special issue of Media and Cultural Politics will discuss policy
issues
faced by citizens as media makers (not mere 'users' of technologies),
especially marginalized communities and social movements. What do
policies
that support democratic grassroots media practices look like?

Socially engaged uses of media and communication technologies have
often
been pioneering. However, media and communication policies have long
marginalized citizens as media makers, considering them at best 'the
third
media sector.' Though this is historically inaccurate, policies based
on
such misperceptions have distorted the mediascape in favor of
governments
and business. Almost everywhere in the world, 'civil society media'
(radical
alternative, community, citizens', tactical, autonomous, social
movement,
indigenous, aboriginal, free media) continue to struggle for funding
channels, legality, autonomous means of production and distribution,
and
against the commercial/governmental enclosures of creative resources.

In the context of civic movements at local, national and transnational
levels for media reform, resistance to copyright extensions, and
struggles
over internet governance, civil society groups dedicated to making and
distributing media have mounted creative responses to their continued
marginalization and to gain recognition as stakeholders. It is time for
academics to reflect, document and analyze these developments, and
provide
historical, theoretical and case studies that can support necessary
revisions in policy frameworks.

Research on media, communication and ICT policy has ignored civil
society
media almost completely, treating people as individual 'users'
'consumers'
or, at best, the 'public'/'voting citizens'. Recent scholarship on
communication rights and democratization of communication has done much
to
outline the relevance of communication policy to civil society in
general
and to document emerging movements around it. However, the specific
position
of 'civil society media' is still poorly addressed. Research on media
democratization often emulates the 'user' and 'consumer' rhetoric of
the
neoliberal discourse or the 'localist' framing of community media of a
previous era. Research on alternative , tactical, and social movement
media
has largely ignored policy issues, emphasizing that such practices
flourish
at the margins, in fissures, and are even spurned on by adverse
conditions.
Research on community media has given some attention to the legal and
policy
infrastructure for specific local practices such as 'community radio'
and
'public access TV,' though practices using different (or multiple)
technologies and less formal practices have been ignored.

This special issue aims to develop an appropriate perspective for the
contemporary realities of civil society and indigenous people's media
practices -- their on-the-ground struggles, their challenges in
technology/policy convergence, the social and communication divides,
and
their relationship to transnational movements. Historical, theoretical
and
cross-cultural perspectives are encouraged. Co-authoring and
adaptations/updated versions of important texts published in other
languages
are welcome.

==================================================
(2) Key Terms:

* 'CSM - Civil Society Media'
< *note: NOT- civil society & media, not (individualized) citizens as
media
makers>

similar to 'our media' (as used in the ourmedia/nuestros medios
network):
an umbrella term for citizens', community, indigenous, alternative,
autonomous and  tactical media and the communication practices of
social
movements and civic groups. The term is contested and contestable.

* 'policy:'
any kind of framework that shapes how governments, corporations,
foundations, NGOs and other institutions/social actors set their
priorities
and plan action
While media and information policies are the most obvious areas of
concern,
NGO laws, labor laws, corporate policies, urban development and
cultural
budgets affect them also: local, regional, national and transnational.
Policy actors are not necessarily governmental.


==================================================
(3) Themes/Areas:

Hot issues:

   * how technology convergence and policy convergence affect
traditional
modes of lobbying, e.g. by community radio
   * what future for 'our media' (CSM) in digital switchover, media
technology convergence & media policy convergence?
   * autonomous media and/vs policy reform
   * neoliberal and neoconservative/anti-terror policies moving in to
enclose many of the communication commons that have flourished since
the
mid-80s,
   * relations of power among and within CSM organizations involved in
policy interventions
   * media & ICT market concentration
   * civil society media growing & diversifying & networking
   * anti-terror legislation, commercial enclosures making policy
intervention imperative
   * what future for 'our media' (CSM) in digital switchover, media
technology convergence & media policy convergence?
   * actors and issues in policy participation from the perspective of
'our
media'
   * relationship between our media and commercial user created
content
(UCC) platforms
   * emerging and traditional actors, networks and alliances + their
agendas
   * actors and issues in policy participation from the perspective of
'our
media'

Historical & theoretical perspectives

   * what are some of the historical precedents for thinking about our
media & policy?
   * highlighting the struggle for licensing and funding of community
radio, public access and indigenous media
   * development of divisions along lines of technologies,
geographies,
language, position in society/world system
   * movement identities: our CSM as organizations/stakeholders
   * contribution of CSM to development of governmental policy
   * relationship between our media and commercial user created
content
platforms
   * alternative options to 'civil society media,' 'democratization'
for
framings and terms used for policy intervention
   * concrete relevance of communication rights framework to CSM

Reviews of new books and overviews of existing literature relevant to
the
area
