Research Associate EG 13 TV-L
06.07.2015 The sub-project ?Configuring Sociality. The Production of 
Online Anonymity Regimes? at Leuphana University L?neburg (foundation 
under public law), is seeking to appoint a 65% position as Research 
Associate, EG 13 TV-L, at a doctoral level for a duration up to three 
years, starting from 1. October 2015.

The sub-project ?Configuring Sociality. The Production of Online 
Anonymity Regimes? at Leuphana University L?neburg (foundation under 
public law), is seeking to appoint a 65% position as

Research Associate
EG 13 TV-L
at a doctoral level for a duration up to three years, starting  from 1. 
October 2015.

The sub-project ?Configuring Sociality? is part of a larger project on 
?Reconfiguring Anonymity ? Contemporary Forms of Reciprocity, 
Identifiability and Accountability in Transformation?, with Hamburg and 
Bremen University as further partners. The overall project is funded by 
the program ?Key Issues in Academia and Society? of the 
Volkswagen-Foundation, and coordinated by Bremen University (Prof. Michi 
Knecht). The sub-project ?Configuring Sociality? is led by Prof. G?tz 
Bachmann, Institute for Culture and Aesthetics of Digital Media (ICAM), 
Leuphana.

?Reconfiguring Anonymity? starts with the assumption that the way we 
practice and imagine anonymity is one of modernity?s most fundamental 
cultural formations. However, current and future media, information, 
identification and surveillance technologies transform established 
concepts and practices of doing and undoing anonymity. While the 
questions raised by these profound changes are widely debated in public 
discourse, empirically grounded and theoretically complex understandings 
of the social dynamics, productivity and dangers of anonymity are 
surprisingly scarce. Therefore, ?Reconfiguring Anonymity? brings 
together social anthropologists, sociologists, media scientists and art 
historians to generate a series of extended ethnographic case studies, 
with the aim to produce new insights into regimes of maintaining, 
modifying or abandoning anonymity in contemporary, hybrid online-offline 
worlds.

The sub-project ?Configuring Sociality? addresses the negotiation of 
anonymity in the process of designing, producing, coding and launching 
social media platforms and applications. Research will be conducted in 
Germany, the UK and the US. The doctoral project will be located in this 
topical area, and will involve extensive ethnographic research in the UK 
and in the Berlin/Hamburg region. The post is situated at the ?Institute 
for the Culture and Aesthetics of Digital Media? (ICAM), and associated 
to the ?Centre for Digital Cultures? (CDC) at Leuphana.

Your tasks:
     ?    Independent work on a PhD project, including the design and 
conduct of extensive ethnographic case studies in digital media 
companies and networks in the UK and Germany
     ?    Participation in the activities of the sub-project on 
?Configuring Sociality? and the overall project ?Reconfiguring Anonymity?
     ?    Preparation and discussion of research literature, especially 
in the area of media theory, media history, social and cultural 
anthropology and STS, where relevant for the topic
     ?    There is no requirement to teach, but own teaching activities 
are possible
     ?    Preparing and writing up results for peer reviewed publications

Requirements:
     ?    Completed masters degree or equivalent in the area of Cultural 
or Social anthropology, European Ethnology, Media Studies, Social 
studies of Science and Technology (STS), Cultural Studies, Sociology or 
related fields.
     ?    Familiarity with ethnography, ideally within the area of media 
ethnography and/or the ethnography of work
     ?    Excellent letter of intention, which includes not only past 
experiences, but also an outline of first ideas for a doctoral project

Subject: ::fibreculture:: New Issue. Journal of Peer Production #7: Policies
	for the Commons
Message-ID: <1436803410991.58494@sts.gu.se>



*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
New issue -- Journal of Peer Production #7: Policies for the Commons<http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-7-policies-for-the-commons/>
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

A spectre is haunting the world - the spectre of the Commons. Without a doubt, the world system is in a crisis of such magnitude that the existing state of affairs cannot possibly be maintained for much longer. At the same time, models based on the collective management of common goods and the social economy have sprung up amidst this state of permanent crisis, which suggest that another world is possible. Taking the policy proposals originally developed by the FLOK Society project in Ecuador as a starting point, this JoPP issue explores how the principles of the ?C?ommons, of peer production, of free software and of the social economy can constitute the basis for the development of appropriate policies enabling the transition to alternative, post-capitalist social and economic models.

The articles collected in this issue address some crucial aspects of this transformation: the transition process from a capitalist knowledge economy towards a social knowledge economy; the transformation of the secondary sector of the economy, with an emphasis on manufacturing and energy; and the reconfiguration of the state and the commonification of public services in the direction of a "Partner State" in which the resources and functions of the state are primarily used to enable and empower autonomous social production?.?

EXCESSIVE RESEARCH ? call for participation, Ph.D./research workshop
http://www.aprja.net

Organized by:
? APRJA (A Peer-Reviewed Journal About_).
? Participatory IT Research Centre, Aarhus University (Geoff Cox & 
Christian Ulrik Andersen)
? transmediale/art&digitalculture (Kristoffer Gansing)
? Contemporary Art Lab, Liverpool John Moores University, in partnership 
with Liverpool Biennial (Joasia Krysa)

For the workshop, we will be joined by Wolfgang S?tzl (Ohio University), 
and other invited guests (TBA).

Submission deadline, Aug 31, 2015 (notification by Sept 4)
Workshop in Liverpool, UK, Nov 03-05, 2015
Online activity, from Sept 28, 2015

ABOUT
The research/Ph.D. workshop EXCESSIVE RESEARCH relates to the 
announcement of transmediale 2016, ?Conversation Piece? 
(http://www.transmediale.de/festival ) which highlights the compulsive 
actions of digital culture, and how we are constantly encouraged to stay 
active, to make, to share and to secure. A culture of sharing, for 
instance, is evidently one of the most noticeable idealized activities 
of a networked society and how value is created. In the research/Ph.D. 
seminar we encourage participants to extend and nuance the discussions 
of closed/open, proprietary/non-proprietary, 
non-participatory/participatory dichotomies and delve into the nature of 
sharing, making, securing, acting and their limits. What happens when 
research is less about exchange and more about excess?

The compulsory and idealized actions of a networked society are often 
composite activities. They are idealized by network ?pirates?, and at 
the same time the conveyors of new agile innovation strategies, and 
modes of economic and symbolic exchange. They are constitutive for our 
cultural being (e.g. ?sharing is caring?), and at the same time they can 
be a threat if the logic of accumulation is challenged by focussing on 
excess, loss and indebtedness. In a recent article On Sharing 
(http://kunsthalaarhus.dk/en/research#overlay=en/research/on-sharing) 
and referring to Bataille?s notion of excess, Wolfgang S?tzl writes how 
we need to look beyond our existing terms of exchange to include 
?anti-economic, political and existential meanings? in order to expand 
our understanding of sharing and how we create communities of action.

Through highlighting excess,the workshop asks where the limits of 
exchange reside? Given how research is bound to some of these compulsory 
actions through open structures of exchange, we seek proposals that 
respond to this: both in terms of how research might go beyond itself; 
beyond its own systems of exchange that are ever more economised 
(notably in the UK where we hold this workshop), and in terms of its 
application to other research subjects and Ph.D. projects that study 
some of these compulsory actions of contemporary art and digital culture 
(i.e., acting, making, sharing, securing, etc.).

CONTEXT
Since 2011, Aarhus University and transmediale have organised research 
workshops as part of an ongoing collaboration with shifting partner 
organizations: In/Compatible Research, Universit?t der K?nste (Berlin, 
2011); Researching #BWPWAP, Leuphana University of L?neburg (L?neburg, 
2012); Post-digital Research, Kunsthal Aarhus (Aarhus, 2013); Datafied 
Research, School of Creative Media, City University Hong Kong (Hong 
Kong, 2014). Each of these workshops has resulted in the publication of 
a peer-reviewed newspaper as an experiment in new forms of scholarly 
publication, and an open access online academic journal, APRJA (A 
Peer-reviewed Journal About_).

Excessive Research will further explore new frameworks for collaborative 
research, presenting outcomes at transmediale 2016 as a newspaper as 
well as in other ways. In addition, lengthier substantial research 
articles, produced as a result of the workshop, are invited for 
submission to APRJA (www.aprja.net).

The workshop aims to provide a forum for emerging researchers to enter 
into speculation, critique, exchange and dialogue about their research 
topic. The primary focus is on the participants? individual research 
projects, as well fostering networking, knowledge exchange and widening 
dissemination. Although the workshop is primarily aimed at international 
PhD researchers, it is also open to researchers such as artists and 
programmers who are pursuing research without institutional support.

The workshop is free but travel and other costs are expected to be met 
by participants or their institutions.

WORKLOAD & CREDITS
Expected workloads include the production of a short text prior to the 
workshop, presentation of research, response and dialogue with other 
participants, the production of contents for a ?Peer-Reviewed 
Newspaper?, and the production of a lengthier research article invited 
for submission to A Peer Reviewed Journal About_.

PhD students can be awarded 5 ECTS for their full participation. In 
addition, participants are invited to join the presentation of Excessive 
Research at transmediale 2016.

SUBMISSION
We are seeking proposals consisting of a biography (500 characters), a 
statement on current research/description of PhD project (1000 
characters), and a short description of how this research relates to the 
workshop theme (500 characters).
? The deadline for the call is August 31, 2015
? Notification by September 4, 2015

Submissions will be possible using an online form:

Subject: ::fibreculture:: CfP - RaAM 11: Metaphor in the Arts,
 in Media and Communication, Berlin, 1.-4. July 2016
Message-ID: <8A32EFA0E4753E43B76AA9ED53E4756D295DF474@MBX03.uva.nl>

Call for Papers
RaAM 11: Metaphor in the Arts, in Media and Communication

We are pleased to announce the 11th conference of RaAM ? the Association for Researching and Applying Metaphor<http://www.raam.org.uk> which will be held at Freie Universit?t Berlin, Germany, 1? 4 July, 2016.

RaAM is committed to the study of metaphor, metonymy and other forms of figurative expression in all domains of life and with a particular focus on the application of metaphor research to real-life issues. With the 2016 theme ?Metaphor in the Arts, in Media and Communication?, the conference RaAM 11 will embrace this central thought by putting the spotlight on ways of metaphorical communication ? often beyond the scope of solely language-based discourse ? in some of the most prominent areas of metaphor usage.

RaAM 11 wants to provide a platform for research from various fields that regard metaphor as a fundamental principle of communication in the realm of the arts as well as in different forms of media and every-day communication. The conference aims to explore metaphor and metaphor usage in contexts that operate on a broad range of sensory data and different levels of imagery. This includes film and other audio-visual media, literature, poetry, architecture, theatre, painting, music and dance as well as production design, social media and face-to-face communication. We especially invite contributions that explore and discuss the link between these realms: a particular experiential, embodied, sensory dimension of metaphor that grounds understanding and the emergence of meaning.

The conference will feature plenary lectures<http://www.raam2016.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/plenary/index.html> by:

     *   Jennifer M. Barker<http://www.raam2016.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/plenary/barker/index.html> ? Georgia State University
     *   Petra Gehring<http://www.raam2016.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/plenary/gehring/index.html> ? Technische Universit?t Darmstadt
     *   Jos? Mario Gutierrez Marquez<http://www.raam2016.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/plenary/marquez/index.html> ? Bauhaus-Universit?t Weimar
     *   Irene Mittelberg<http://www.raam2016.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/plenary/mittelberg/index.html> ? RWTH Aachen

Topics

We invite researchers from different disciplines, theoretical and methodological backgrounds to submit abstracts of papers, themed panels or poster presentations addressing topics within the broad range of the conference theme. These may include (but are not restricted to):

     *   Metaphor and aesthetics
     *   Metaphor and performance
     *   Metaphor and affect
     *   Metaphor and embodiment
     *   Perceiving and understanding metaphor
     *   Metaphoric meaning making
     *   Narrativity, figuration and metaphor
     *   Metaphor and expression
     *   Metaphor and representation
     *   Metaphor and temporality
     *   Motifs, representations and metaphor
     *   Rhetorics and metaphor (sketching out a family picture of metaphor: metaphor, metonymy, oxymoron, synecdoche, simile etc.)
     *   Actions, applications and metaphor (e.g. art therapy, media pedagogy)
     *   Metaphor and creativity
     *   Multimodal metaphor (advertisement, comics, music, face-to-face communication including gesture with speech, film, television, video games etc.)
     *   Conceptual metaphor in media and the arts

Submission of Abstracts

Abstracts for 20-minute papers and posters should be no longer than 400 words (excluding references). Proposals for themed panels (2-4 papers of 20 minutes) should add a panel description of no more than 300 words. All abstracts have to be submitted via ConfTool (https://www.conftool.com/raam2016).

Deadline for abstract submission: December 15, 2015
Notification of abstract acceptance: March 15, 2016
Registration for conference participation: March 15 ? May 4, 2016
RaAM Membership

Please note that you will have to be a member of the RaAM association in order to attend the conference. (For further information visit: www.raam.org.uk/join-raam<http://www.raam.org.uk/join-raam>.) You do not have to be a RaAM-member to submit an abstract but will need to be registered as an association member in order to complete the conference registration process in spring 2016.

PhD Conference Presentation Prize

A prize will be awarded for the best presentation by a PhD student. Presentations will be preselected in the application process and will compete in a special panel during the conference. Therefore, papers that are handed in as part of a themed panel cannot compete for the prize.

Pre-Conference PhD Workshop

Prior to the conference, on June 29-30, 2016, we will offer a PhD-workshop that focuses on methods for analyzing metaphor usage in face-to-face discourse and in audio-visual images. It will provide an intimate setting for concentrated and collaborative work in a very pleasant environment at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), located close to Berlin and directly on the German-Polish border. Further information about the workshop and the application process will be published on the conference website later in the year.

Financial Support

A limited number of travel bursaries/stipends organised by the RaAM Executive Committee and the Local Organising Committee of the conference will be available for PhD students and postdocs in financial need. Details about the application process will be provided on the conference website.

Subject: ::fibreculture:: CFP Transformations Journal - The Ruin, the Future.
Message-ID: <D1D51DF1.2CE76%grayson.cooke@scu.edu.au>

CFP Transformations issue 28: "The Ruin, the Future."

Over the past few years a swathe of what has come to be known as "ruin porn" has swept the internet. Perhaps in an uncanny updating of Albert Speer's dark fantasies of "ruin value", photographs of Detroit's abandoned factories and theatres, Chernobyl's crumbling tenements and "urbex" photos of ruined asylums and hotels are gleefully traded on Facebook and Reddit and have amassed immense cultural currency.

This contemporary interest in ruins scales from numerous blogs and sub-Reddits to the vaulted heights of major art institutions, with the Tate gallery's 2013 "Ruin Lust" exhibition. But of course - as the Tate's exhibition charted - this fascination has its roots in much older traditions. The ruin was employed for theological purposes in the paintings of the Renaissance, and for didactic and allegorical purposes in the Romantic paintings of the 18th century. For hundreds of years ruins have been both quotidian elements of the daily lives of many, especially in Europe, while they have also operated as rich sources of historical meaning within various modes of artistic expression.

What can be done with the ruin today? Can we put the observations of key theorists of the ruin, such as Walter Benjamin and Georg Simmel, to new purposes? And from our ancient, colonial and industrial ruins can we pull some hope, some imagination or possibility for the future that sees the ruin differently than as an emblem of a glorious or inglorious past?

This issue of Transformations calls for reflections on the ruin and ruination, its past and its future. Possible topics may include (but need not be limited to):

* Ruins of the ancient world and archaeological practice
* The ruin and Romanticism
* Walter Benjamin's allegory and the ruin
* The city in ruins
* The aesthetics of the ruin
* Colonial ruins and ruination
* Film emulsion and the media, the ruin of the image
* The ruin and the archive, memory and forgetting
* The ruin as poetics
* Hermeneutics of the ruin
* Contemporary ruins: "ruin porn" memes and the internet
* Urban exploration and the industrial ruin
* The ruin and pollution, bloodstreams and the environment
* The ruin as messianic event
* The ruin and the future, the ruin as possibility

>> Abstracts (200-400 words) are due 1st September 2015, with a view to submit articles by 15th January 2016.

>> Abstracts should be forwarded to: editor at transformationsjournal.org
