Subject: CFP: MASSIVE (Communication & Digital Culture/PCA)
Call for Papers
Deadline for Submissions: November 1, 2013
MASSIVE
Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association National Conference Chicago, IL April 16-19, 2014
The Communication & Digital Culture Area of the Popular Culture Association is soliciting proposals for panels and individual papers that explore the theme of “massive” in a network society.
To borrow from Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy a bit: “Data is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is.”
What are the implications for American and global popular culture now that massive data has become an increasingly important part of everyday life? How does ready access to massively networked resources continue to transform cultural practices? How have these data structures altered the ways in which we work, play, learn, and interact? How do our cultural hopes and fears reflect our increasingly complex relationship to these increasingly complex data structures and data networks?
Possible topics include:
Open Data Movement
Big Data
WikiLeaks
MMOs
MOOCs
PRISM /The Utah Data Center
Data Visualization
New Economies of Data
Spreadable Media
Contagion
Submit a 250-word proposal to the PCA Database, http://ncp.pcaaca.org/.
Please send all inquires to:
Mark Nunes
Communication and Digital Culture Area Chair http://pcaaca.org/communication-digital-culture/
