Hi,
I'm working with Doug Schuler on the upcoming DIAC-02 symposium
(Seattle, May 16-19, 2002) sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social
Responsibility and the National Communication Association Task Force
on the Digital Divide.
Doug gave me your address and suggested that I send you this call
for submissions.
In conjunction with the symposium we are also developing an extensive,
collective online resource which represents the wisdom and creativity of
groups like yours. For that reason we're trying to open up this discussion
up as much as possible. This project cannot succeed without a wide variety
of voices.
Please take a look at the "Call for Submissions" included below and send
it out to any appropriate colleagues or lists.
Thanks very much for your time and consideration. Feel free to write
me or Doug Schuler (douglas@cpsr.org) if you have any questions or
comments.
We hope you can participate in some way!

First CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Shaping the Network Society:
Patterns for Participation, Action, and Change
http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/diac02/
May 16-19, 2002
Seattle, Washington, USA
Tomorrow's information and communication infrastructure is being shaped
today.
But by whom and to what ends?
Researchers, community workers, social activists, educators and
students, journalists, artists, policymakers, and citizens are all
concerned about the shape that this new infrastructure will take.
Will it meet the needs of all people?
Will it help the citizenry address current and future issues?
Will it promote democracy, social justice, sustainability?
Will the appropriate research be conducted?
Will equitable policies be enacted?
Symposium Aims
A "public sphere" where people learn about, discuss, and deliberate
on important issues, such as increasing economic disparity,
militarization, environmental degradation, racism or sexism, is
critical to our future.
Clearly, information and communication technology--and the uses to
which it is put--is central to any effort that helps empower people to
effectively look at and resolve our collective concerns.
At the same time, giant media conglomerates and computer companies are
rapidly increasing their control of the information and communication
infrastructure upon which this public sphere depends. Governments,
too, are often part of this problem; instead of promoting access and
two-way access to this infrastructure, they actively or passively
discourage civic sector uses.
Civil society is responding in a million ways. The opportunities and
challenges offered by a global "network society" are too great to be
ignored.
The Shaping the Network Society symposium is designed to aid in these
efforts by providing a forum and a platform for these critical issues.
And, through the use of "patterns," we hope that this conference will
help inject organization, motivation, and inspiration into the
evolution of an information and communication infrastructure that
truly meets today's -- and tomorrow's -- urgent needs.
Please join us in Seattle (and beyond) in May 2002 for this exciting
and important event!
DIAC-02
This event will be the eighth biannual Directions and Implications of
Advanced Computing (DIAC) symposium. A variety of events are planned
ranging from invited speakers, panel discussions, and pattern
presentations to numerous opportunities for informal working sessions
- -- both planned and spontaneous -- on various topics. Also, as with
previous DIAC symposia, we will do our best to provide a few surprises ...
Pattern Orientation
To promote bridge-building, we are soliciting "patterns," instead of
abstracts, that will be developed into full papers for this symposium.
A "pattern" is a careful description of a solution or suggestion for
remedying an identified problem in a given context that can be used
to help develop and harness communication and information technology
in ways that affirm human values.
The information contained in patterns is similar to that in
traditional abstracts or papers, but it is arranged in a common
structure in order to inspire scholars and practitioners to think
about their work in terms of social implications and actual social
engagement; build networks that include research, practice, and
advocacy; and facilitate the integration of all submitted patterns
into a coherent network of patterns, or "pattern language," that will
form a useful and compelling knowledge structure which can help spur
additional research, solutions, and activism. As a result, individual
patterns are exciting because each is, in essence, a small theory
about some part of the communication and information universe. In
addition, since the individual patterns will be stored in an online
database, the overall strategy opens myriad possibilities that will
allow us as a community to synthesize the patterns into a collectively
constructed body that creates new opportunities for collaboration and
deliberation.
We believe that the "pattern" orientation will be beneficial and
thought-provoking for all participants. If you are tempted to submit
a pattern, we encourage you to do so. Although this approach may
require different thinking, we believe that it will be worth the
effort.
Patterns can be submitted for consideration for presentation at the
Shaping the Network Society conference, or simply to be published on
the web site and as a contribution to the knowledge structure.
Developing and Submitting Patterns
Patterns are SOLUTIONS to PROBLEMS in a given CONTEXT.
Patterns can be observable actions, empirical findings,
hypotheses, theories, social or media critiques, case studies,
or "best practices"; indeed, any template or crystallized or
distilled knowledge in some area that will help people in the
field--researchers, practitioners, journalists, policymakers,
artists, citizens.
Patterns can address problems, such as the digital divide, that
arise in a range of contexts--social, cultural, educational,
economic, community, political, and/or technological.
Patterns exist at all levels; they can be "global" as well as
"local," theoretical as well as practical.
Patterns are the springboard for discussion, research, and
activism.
The primary elements needed to develop a pattern for submission are:
- - The name or TITLE of the pattern (brief, one-ten words).
- - A succinct statement of the essence of the PROBLEM in one or two
sentences.
- - A DISCUSSION section (300-600 words) that describes the background
of the problem, evidence for its proposed solution, and the range of
ways that the solution can be applied.
- - The SOLUTION to the problem is presented in a summary form that
describes the field of physical and social relationships which are
required to solve the stated problem, in the stated context.
- - An optional descriptive image can be used to provide a visual
representation of your pattern and/or an optional summary image can
show a pictorial representation (diagram) of the solution. Although
these IMAGES are an optional element, we encourage you to include
them to supply useful information that is difficult to provide in
words and to make your pattern page more attractive and consistent
with other patterns.
Complete details on pattern submission, including example patterns,
are available for further clarification at the symposium web site:
http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/diac02/
The preferred way to submit patterns is through the pattern intake
site, which can be accessed from the symposium site or directly at:
http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/diac02/pattern.cgi. If you cannot
access the intake site, please send your pattern as email text (no
attachments) to docrod99@hotmail.com. Please consult the help page,
http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/diac02/patterns/help.html, for
guidance on an e-mail submission.

ELECTROFRINGE FESTIVAL 2001
September 27 - October 1
Newcastle, New South Wales
Australia
http://electrofringe.org
Electrofringe 2001 will once again bring together hundreds of
local and international media makers, audio-visual creators,
electronic musicians, gamers and just plain digital trouble
makers. Following on from the last three years, Electrofringe
2001 will focus on issues of copyright and intellectual property.
Electrofringe is the electronic media contingent of the larger
This Is Not Art festival <http://thisisnotart.org> which includes

Subject: "Interpassivitaet"-Vortrag
Im Rahmen der Vortragsreihe <I>digital happy hour</I>:
Robert Pfaller:
"Interpassivität - Studien über delegiertes Geniessen"
Mittwoch, 26. September 2001, 20.00 Uhr
Literaturhaus / Bibliothek, München, Salvatorplatz 1
Vortrag und Buchpräsentation in Kooperation mit dem Literaturhaus München
"Interaktivität" heisst das neue Zauberwort im Medienzeitalter - ein
andauernder Trend, der neue Möglichkeiten zur Mitgestaltung am Produktions- und
Rezeptionsprozess eines (Kunst-)Werks verspricht und dessen Anhänger
nicht-interaktive Medien als langweilig oder gar "didaktisch" einstufen. Der
Medientheoretiker Robert Pfaller dagegen entlarvt einen Großteil des heutigen Gebrauchs
Neuer Medien in Kunst und Alltagskultur als Phänomene delegierten Geniessens:
sollte man angesichts der vielen Videofreaks, die ihre Recorder fernsehen
lassen, Fernsehkomödien, die für die Zuschauer lachen, und Akademiker, für die
der Kopierer das Lesen erledigt, nicht vielmehr von "interpassiven" Akten
sprechen? Zu dieser provokativen These hat Pfaller einen Reader herausgegeben,
Beiträge u.a. von Slavoj Zizek, Stella Rollig und Wolfgang Pauser.

SCHEDA CONFERENZA RAF "VALVOLA" SCELSI ALLE RAMPE
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Le Rampe, Porta San Niccolo', Firenze
Firenze, 11 settembre ore 21:
"No copyright e MP3", di Raf Valvola Scelsi.
Raffaele "Valvola" Scelsi è il curatore insieme a Ermanno "Gomma" Guarneri
della collana di libri Interzone della casa editrice Feltrinelli. La collana
Interzone opera una riflessione ad ampio raggio sui mutamenti sociali messi
in atto dall'avvento delle nuove tecnologie della comunicazione.
Scelsi è anche uno dei fondatori della rivista internazionale Decoder, la
prima rivista underground in Italia ad occuparsi del movimento culturale
"cyberpunk", promuovendo già dalla seconda metà degli anni ottanta un punto
di vista critico sui nuovi media.
Scelsi è inoltre uno degli editori della Shake Edizioni Underground, casa
editrice decollata grazie al grande successo della prima antologia di saggi
"Cyberpunk" uscita in Italia nel 1990 e curata da Raffaele Scelsi stesso.
Sempre per la Shake Ed. Scelsi ha realizzato il libro "No Copyright", un'
antologia di testi che fornisce un'esauriente ricognizione sulle tematiche
connesse ai diritti nel nuovo millennio.
La conferenza "No copyright e mp3" descriverà quali siano le complesse e
contraddittorie conseguenze sociali che l'avvento di una nuova tecnologia
creata per far circolare la musica in Internet, la tecnologia "mp3" appunto,
ha messo in moto, toccando sia gli aspetti dell'economia che quelli del
diritto e della libera espressione.

All: Please pass the word along to your colleagues and students.
Members from the departments of English, History, and Political Science
at SUNY Fredonia have put together a non-traditional conference based on
roundtables that will include a number of
important scholars from the U.S. and Canada, in addition to our own
faculty. It will be a rare opportunity to have all these people
presenting together. For further details, contact Bob Marzec

MINICONFERENCE IN WESTERN NEW YORK:
Globalization: The Stakes of Global Studies in the
twenty-first century
DATES: FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21-22, 2001
LOCATION: STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK COLLEGE AT FREDONIA, FREDONIA NY,
USA.
"Globalization: The Stakes of Global Studies" takes as its point of
departure the subject of "Global Studies"-a field of intellectual
inquiry in the university system that ostensibly speaks directly to
international relations and corporate control in the past and present.
It is a series of roundtables designed to spark conversations across the
disciplines about the
phenomenon of globalization. The conference is planned in such a way as
to resist the traditional format of an academic conference. There will
only be one roundtable panel per time slot. Presenters have been asked
to frame a question, a problem, or an argument briefly, at which time
the focus will then turn to a dialogue among the presenters, and with
the audience. The conference will thus be a two-day long conversation
on the subject of globalization and global studies.
Roundtable Presenters Include:
· Eric Clarke (University of Pittsburgh, advisory editor for
boundary 2, author of Virtuous Vice: Homoeroticism and the Public
Sphere).
· Lennard J. Davis (University of Illinois, Chicago, author of
Enforcing Normalcy: Disability, Deafness, and the Body, coeditor of Left
Politics and the Literary Profession).
· Richard Eaton (University of Arizona, author of The Rise of
Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1204-1760; Islamic History as Global
History).
· Ranjana Khanna (Duke University, author of Dark Continents:
Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and the Postcolonial Condition).
· Peter Linebaugh (University of Toledo, author of The Many-Headed
Hydra).
· Deborah Rosenfelt (University of Maryland, Director of Women's
Studies, Area, and International Studies Project entitled "Women and
Gender in an Era of Global Change: Internationalizing and 'Engendering'
the Curriculum," author of Sex, Class, and Race in Literature and
Culture).
· William Spanos (Binghamton University, founding editor of
boundary 2, author of America's Shadow; The Errant Art of Moby-Dick: The
Canon, the Cold War, and the Struggle for American Studies).
· Rinaldo Walcott (York University, author of Black Like Who?).
Fields of inquiry such as "Global Studies," "Transcultural Studies,"
"International Studies," and others have come to transform the
disciplines of Anthropology, Economics, English, Geography, History,
Political Science, and Sociology, but in a manner different from that of
"Cultural Studies," or even "Postcolonial Studies." Though widely
acknowledged, global studies has not been adequately thought, especially
in relation to the stakes of intellectual inquiry in the contemporary
occasion of the economic, political, and cultural circulation of
knowledge on a planetary level. One concern of the conference is to
consider the stakes of developing a global studies curriculum in
academia, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels-and to hazard
for question the rationale for any such curriculum. Participants will
be concentrating on the relation between epistemology, pedagogy,
citizenship, and power in a global order.
These are some of the questions that guided us in the planning of the
conference: What do the different disciplines mean by "Global Studies"?
What role might a global studies program play? What would be the
intellectual responsibility of the University in this new capacity?
What are the ontological shifts involved in the development of a global
order, and the consequences of those changes? How do questions of
ethnicity, gender, race and class change in relation to a global order?
What would be the structure of a "global politics of gender," for
instance? What are the consequences in shifting concepts such as
"global sisterhood" and "transnational feminism"? Moreover, what kind
of human subjectivity is made available in this order? What are the
potentials for forming coalitions with labor unions locally and globally
when it comes to dealing with the effects of globalization? In the
wake of organic, national identities and filiations, what is to become
of "citizenry"? How does the Global change the status of the Local, and
the nature of "local resistance"? In general, what positions are made
available for subjects and communities in a global order, and what are
the potentials for alterity and freedom?
This event is sponsored in part by a grant from the Carnahan-Jackson
Humanities Fund of the SUNY Fredonia College Foundation.

Subject: call - 'very CYBERFEMINIST INTERNATIONAL'
Call for Proposals/Abstracts
'very CYBERFEMINIST INTERNATIONAL', hamburg 2001
organizer: old boys network
(Verena Kuni, Helene von Oldenburg, Claudia Reiche, Cornelia Sollfrank)
date: december 13-16, 2001
location: lichtmess-kino
This will be a three-day conference addressing different themes each day, and including evening programs.
01. opening reception
[evening, december 13, 2001, thursday]
At the opening reception OBN introduces itself in a performative way. All speakers of the conference as well as other additionally invited CYBERFEMINISTs present their personal approach to CYBERFEMINISM during a poster presentation. 20-30 presenters are standing in front of their individual posters and explain
it to the audience. The single presentations do not exceed 10 minutes and will be 'looped'. Everybody will be talking, playing and performing at the same time.
02: CYBERFEMINIST networking - knot working - not working?
v[day, december 14, 2001, friday]
Due to the underlying dynamics of networks there is a permanent need to clarify the changing organizational structure and the way that individual members see the network and their roles within it. It is important that members express their divergent ideas of structure and networking and develop them into a common structure which only can be the basis for networked action and reality. Using an open format, the past, the present, and the future goals of obn will be discussed, and all kinds ot utopian visions for obn's future will be aired. A next step will be to go beyond our own network, and to look at the condition and the potential of self-organized structures as an alternative to institutional forms within the art system, academia and politics, and discuss their relations and interdependencies.
03: function of (start) function of (shut) function of (stop) function of (open) = new border concepts
[day, december 14 & 15 2001, friday & saturday]
Mathematical functions are the core of algorithms that operate computers. Temporal and spatial borders can be written as interacting functions. Closings and beginnings, endings and openings combine and cross, thus modeling the experiences of borders we enjoy or suffer. Breakthrough, shelter, prison, invasion or escape are not neutral in terms of control. For: who is able to manipulate those functions? They are always political.
Liberation was another word for a hack in the system's functions in operation, inserting the border of the real into the reality of the operating system. New border concepts perform the relations of power as well as the dynamics of variable temporal and spatial functions.
CYBERFEMINISM is no game without borders, but a playing with borders that takes them seriously, a work at the boundaries of that 'contested zone' in which the so-called real and virtual diverge, and which mines utopias of transgression, understanding them as a potential for transformation. If CYBERFEMINISM is also a utopia, then its utopian designs can be fictions as well as specific political options. In the field of CYBERFEMINISM utopias offer differentiated models for discussion which can invent new forms of communication, open up new articulations of space and time which do not only function in cyberspace, or suggest models based on genetic technologies, operating new life or gender models.
The borders between political utopia, science fiction, and technological innovations have always been fluid - beyond judgment as to value. CYBERFEMINISTs take an inventive, tactical part in furthering a perforation, diffusion, conversion, transgression, subversion etc. of cultural forms with new
technological possibilities. Some points of critical and creative attitudes towards fluid borders and special concern are:
- - new forms of global control and subversion through the electronic networking technology: how to obtain and secure privacy? how to react to the globalized economy and to the growing influence of global trusts on national governments?
- - realities and utopian fantasies of leaving the limitations and rules of the known world behind, in outer space as in cyberspace
- - manipulations of human consciousness with drugs/ pharmaceutials, psychological control, or media-related brainwashing
- - incorporation of technology into the human body and genetic engineering, how to understand and invert, use and misuse the possibilities?
- - new imaginations of gender with and without medical creations and redefinitions of sexual organs etc.
04: very TRANSGRESSIVE
On the last evening of the conference there will be party, including concerts, DJs and VJs -- an evening when everybody will be crossing borders!
The live acts within 'very TRANSGRESSIVE' give an insight into technical, cultural, political and economic inventions of electronic music and sound production. They present working methods, with a special focus on the underrepresentation of women in this field. What does "feminist" mean for a female commitment in electronic music? It is a question of "technique" - a
possible musical, theoretical and political "technique" in discussion with the level of media technological development.
05: brunch
[morning/noon, december 16, 2001, sunday]
A casual get together to think over the results of the conference, strengthen our bodies for the trip back home with good food, and say good-bye to old and new friends.
[06: live media presence]
In addition to changing possibilities of production we find a complete restructuring of distribution, which opens up via Internet and new methods of data compression. New relations between producer and receiver have been introduced, and provide new possibilities for individual and collective production.
Every contribution to the conference will be broadcast via live stream simultaneously through the Internet, and partly through the local radio station FSK in Hamburg.
"very CYBERFEMINIST International" hopes to address many of the issues introduced above. We invite intense conversations, controversies, speculations, papers, projects, presentations in many forms. We invite paradoxical approaches and diverse interpretations of CYBERFEMINIST theory and practice. Our hope is to expand our connections and our horizon, to include an even greater mixture of CYBERFEMINISTs than participated in the 'first' and 'next' CYBERFEMINIST International, and to work out an operational structure for obn which will allow a smoothly running program called 'CYBERFEMINIST future'.
Call for proposals/abstracts: by october 15, 2001
Please send in proposals and abstracts for posters, presentations, lectures, DJing, and music performances.
