> Apologies for crossposting, please distribute as appropriate: > > Call for Abstracts for Chapters > Volume 2 of the International Handbook of Internet Research > (editors Jeremy Hunsinger, Lisbeth Klastrup, and Matthew Allen) > > Abstracts due June 1 2014; full chapters due Sept. 1 2015 > > After the remarkable success of the first International Handbook of > Internet Research (2010), Springer has contracted with its editors to > produce a second volume. This new volume will be arranged in three > sections, that address one of three different aspects of internet > research: foundations, futures, and critiques. Each of these > meta-themes will have its own section of the new handbook. > > Foundations will approach a method, a theory, a perspective, a topic > or field that has been and is still a location of significant internet > research. These chapters will engage with the current and historical > scholarly literature through extended reviews and also as a way of > developing insights into the internet and internet research. Futures > will engage with the directions the field of internet research might > take over the next five years. These chapters will engage current > methods, topics, perspectives, or fields that will expand and > re-invent the field of internet research, particularly in light of > emerging social and technological trends. The material for these > chapters will define the topic they describe within the framework of > internet research so that it can be understand as a place of future > inquiry. Critique chapters will define and develop critical positions > in the field of internet research. They can engage a theoretical > perspective, a methodological perspective, a historical trend or topic > in internet research and provide a critical perspective. These > chapters might also define one type of critical perspective, > tradition, or field in the field of internet research. > > We value the way in which this call for papers will itself shape the > contents, themes, and coverage of the Handbook. We encourage potential > authors to present abstracts that will consolidate current internet > research, critically analyse its directions past and future, and > re-invent the field for the decade to come. Contributions about the > internet and internet research are sought from scholars in any > discipline, and from many points of view. We therefore invite internet > researchers working within the fields of communication, culture, > politics, sociology, law and privacy, aesthetics, games and play, > surveillance and mobility, amongst others, to consider contributing to > the volume. > > Initially, we ask scholars and researchers to submit an 500 word > abstract detailing their own chapter for one of the three sections > outlined above. The abstract must follow the format presented below. > After the initial round of submissions, there may be a further call > for papers and/or approaches to individuals to complete the volume. > The final chapters will be chosen from the submitted abstracts by the > editors or invited by the editors. The chapter writers will be > notified of acceptance by January 1st, 2015. The chapters will be due > September 2015, should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words (inclusive of > references, biographical statement and all other text). > > Each abstract needs to be presented in the following form: > > · Section (Either Foundations, Futures, or Critiques) > > · Title of chapter > > · Author name/s, institutional details > > · Corresponding author’s email address > > · Keywords (no more than 5) > > · Abstract (no more than 500 words) > > · References > > Please e-mail your abstract/s to: internet.research.handb...@gmail.com > > We look forward to your submissions and working with you to produce > another definitive collection of thought-provoking internet research. > Please feel free to distribute this CfP widely. > > Thank you > Jeremy, Lisbeth, and Matt > Jeremy Hunsinger > Communication Studies > Wilfrid Laurier University > Center for Digital Discourse and Culture > Virginia Tech > > > () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail > /\ - against microsoft attachments > > http://www.tmttlt.com > > > You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. > --Mark Twain
