Convergence: The Journal of Research into New Media Technologies
 
* * * CALL FOR PAPERS * * *
 
on New Media Technologies in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe
 
Submission deadline for this issue is 30 October 1997
 
 
For Volume 4, No. 2 of the Journal (Summer 1998) we are seeking papers relating
to
research projects or case studies on media art, specific electronic arts
discourse(s), and
the cultural, social and political implications of new media technologies in
Central,
Eastern and South-Eastern Europe.  Papers would be welcome that deal with
current
developments in electronic arts and the specific aesthetic strategies in the
post-socialist Eastern European countries; that provide an insight into Eastern
European
approaches to using new technologies and attitudes towards the effects of new
media; that
deal critically with the notion of technology as a 'unifying' or 'normative'
factor; that
question the viability of notions such as East and West, analysing local
developments
within a broader global context; or that provide critical analysis of
institutions and
non-institutional networks and structures promoting and supporting new media
technologies
in Eastern Europe.  This issue will be guest-edited by Inke Arns, media art
curator,
Berlin, Germany.
 
All inquiries about, proposals for articles or completed papers for the Central,
Eastern
and South-Eastern Europe issue should be sent to: Inke Arns, Pestalozzistr. 5,

Convergence is a refereed academic journal which addresses the creative, social,
political
and pedagogical issues raised by the advent of new media technologies.  As a
research
journal it provides a forum  both for monitoring and exploring developments and
for
publishing vital research.  Published quarterly in paper form and adopting an
inter-disciplinary approach Convergence will develop this area into an entirely
new
research field.  The principal aims of Convergence are:
 
o       to develop critical frameworks and methodologies which enable the
reception, consumption
and impact of new technologies to be evaluated in  their domestic, public and
educational
contexts
o       to contextualise the study of those new technologies within existing
debates in media
studies, and to address the specific implications of the increasing convergence
of media
forms
o       to monitor the conditions of emergence of new media technologies, their
subsequent mass
production and the development of new cultural forms
o       to promote discussion and analysis of the creative and educational
potentials of those
technologies, and to contextualise those cultural practices within wider
cultural and
political debates.
