Call for Papers:
Constructing Cyberculture(s): Performance,
Pedagogy, and Politics in Online Spaces
April 6-7, 2001
University of Maryland
Co-Sponsored by The Chesapeake Chapter of the American Studies
Association and the Consortium on Race, Gender and Ethnicity
Coordinated by the Cyberculture Working Group
The Cyberculture Working Group is a collection of University of Maryland
and neighboring graduate students and faculty members from across the
disciplines interested in exploring the intersections between the
Internet, culture, and society. At our 1999 Conference, "Cultural
Diversity in/and Cyberspace," an international and interdisciplinary
group of scholars addressed such issues as what it means to play online
"identity games," how scholars of the humanities and public policy can
work together to affect the construction and maintenance of cyberspaces,
and how we can use online technologies to teach and learn about cultural
diversity.
This year's conference seeks to continue these and other discussions by
focusing on how different groups and communities construct and use the
virtual world. We are seeking scholars from around the world and across
the disciplines to discuss the ways that complex, multi-layered identities
are being created and performed in online spaces, present case studies of
virtual communities, and examine how digital environments shape and are
shaped by "real" and "virtual" political and cultural dynamics. We hope to
discuss possible connections between the humanities, social sciences, and
the emerging, contested field of "cyberculture studies." We also welcome
papers that address the uses of online technologies in classrooms and
communities.
Proposals for individual papers (15-20 minutes) and full panels (2-3
papers plus a moderator/chair) should include a one page abstract and a
concise, one page C.V. for each presenter. The deadline for submissions
is December 10, 2000.
