Dear Colleagues,
CfP for a Proposed Special Issue of Big Data & Society, on Veillance and Transparency: A Critical Examination of Mutual Watching in the Post-Snowden, Big Data Era
Guest Editors: Vian Bakir, Martina Feilzer, Andrew McStay (Bangor Univ.)
We invite papers for a proposed Special Issue in Big Data and Society, Sage’s inter-disciplinary, open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal that explores the social implications of Big Data from social sciences, humanities and computing perspectives.
Our central proposition
Today we live in a techno-cultural condition of increased and normalised transparency through various veillant forces of mutual watching.
Our central question
What are the technical, social, economic, political, legal, ethical and cultural implications of this situation?
Drawing on the many academic disciplines that deal with issues of veillance and transparency, we seek theoretical and empirical academic papers; artistic, activist and educational provocations (the journal can link to digital versions of these); and shorter commentary from the wide range of actors involved in these debates (including data regulators, intelligence and security services, private companies, NGOs, politicians and journalists).
More details here:
Proposals should be sent to the Guest Editors: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask]
Deadline for academic papers (original research articles (8,000 words) and early career research forum essays (1,000 words - a great outlet for PhD students!))
Deadlines for commentaries (3,000 words) and artistic, activist and educational provocations:
Anticipated Publication date for Special Issue: Jan/Feb 2017.
Hope you’re enjoying the summer,
Best
Vian
