> CALL FOR PAPERS

> INTERNET RESEARCH 9.0: RETHINKING COMMUNITY, RETHINKING
PLACE
> International and Interdisciplinary Conference of the
Association of
> Internet Researchers (AoIR)
> Copenhagen, Denmark
>
> Workshops / Doctoral Colloquium: October 15th, 2008
>
> AoIR. conference: October 16–18th, 2007
>
> Deadline for paper submissions: February 8th, 2007

>
> RETHINKING COMMUNITY, RETHINKING PLACE
> In the past few years, new forms of net-based
communities have
> emerged,
> distributed on various websites and services, and
making use of
> several
> media platforms and genres to stay connected. Now, as
mobile and
> location-based technologies are reintroducing
"place" as an
> important aspect
> in the formation of communal and social activities, it
is time to
> consider
> and rethink the concept of online or virtual
communities. Not
> forgetting the
> lessons we have learned from studying the early virtual
communities,
> how do
> we describe, analyse, theorise and design the
communities and social
> formations of the early 21st century? How do we address
the blurring
> of
> boundaries between places and communities on- and
offline?
>
> We call for papers, panel proposals, and presentations
from any
> discipline,
> methodology, and community, and from conjunctions of
multiple
> disciplines,
> methodologies and academic communities that address the
conference
> themes.
>
> Sessions at the conference will be established that
specifically
> address the
> conference themes, and we welcome innovative, exciting,
and
> unexpected takes
> on those themes. We also welcome submissions on topics
that address
> social,
> cultural, political, economic, and/or aesthetic aspects
of the
> Internet
> beyond the conference themes. In all cases, we welcome
disciplinary
> and
> interdisciplinary submissions as well as international
> collaborations from
> both AoIR and non-AoIR members.
>
>
> SUBMISSIONS
> We seek proposals for several different kinds of
contributions. We
> welcome
> proposals for traditional academic conference papers,
but we also
> encourage
> proposals for creative or aesthetic presentations that
are distinct
> from a
> traditional written ‘paper.’
>
> We also welcome proposals for ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS that
will focus on
> discussion and interaction among conference delegates,
as well as
> organized
> PANEL PROPOSALS that present a coherent group of papers
on a single
> theme.
>
>
> SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
> All papers and presentations in this session will be
reviewed in the
> normal
> manner. Detailed information about review and
submission will be
> available
> through the conference submission website: http://
> conferences.aoir.org in
> early January 2008.

> will be accepted if they demonstrate that the workshop
will add
> significantly to the overall program in terms of
thematic depth,
> hands on
> experience, or local opportunities for scholarly or
artistic
> connections.

pre-conference proposals
