Tales of Two Societies: On the Complexity of the Coevolution between the
Physical Space and the Cyber Space
======
The digital revolution characterized by the current ICT and digital
technology enables us to map what happens in this physical space into its
cyber counterpart as if we have two simultaneously coexisting societies.
One is a society of human agents and 'things' in the physical space; the
other is the 'incarnation' of the former in the cyber space, further
empowered by a myriad of software agents. The relation between the two
societies provides a challenge for the science of complexity, since the
mapping between the two is not just unidirectional (self-imaging), but also
bidirectional (cyclical looping). Like a mirror, the cyber space can not
only passively reflect the shape of the physical space, but more often than
not it can actively shape that shape, which in turn results in the two
societies having a feedback relationship with each other as they constantly
coevolve. Understanding their coevolutionary dynamics becomes a research
agenda that one cannot afford to have missing when looking ahead into the
future well-being of humans. In the past, we have seen many individual
subjects being developed as walks in between the two societies; however,
works which address the complex interactions between the two are still
limited. This Special Issue aims to meet the gap.
This Special Issue aims to solicit contributions which address the
complexity interactions of the two societies in light of their emergent
cooperation or/and competition, which are currently manifested in one of
three forms. The first is transformation, in which the emergence of the
cyber space as an image of the physical space prompts us to search for new
solution principles for tackling problems that are otherwise difficult to
solve in the physical world. Mathematically and technically speaking, one
can first transform the problem into the cyber space, use tools or software
agents available in the cyber space to solve the problem, and transfer the
solution back to the physical space. We have seen many such kinds of
applications, commonly titled as 'smart'' applications.
The second form is extension. Once the cyber society is founded, it is
better treated as an autonomous entity, having its own life and having its
own problems to solve. In this regard, can the mechanisms that we learned
from the physical space, such as the market, community, management, or
governance be applicable to tackling problems appearing in the cyber space?
The introduction of new auction mechanisms in the cyber space, called
internet auctions, is one of the earlier examples.
The final form that manifests is repercussion. The previous two interactive
relations address cooperation between the physical society and the cyber
society; however, the cyber space can also bring threats to the physical
space. The impact of the cyber space is not limited to jobs and business
opportunities but can come on a much larger scale, as a cyber-tsunami to
overwhelmingly alter the operations of the labor market, the financial
markets, and the democratic system and even permeate the human
decision-making routines.
Contributions to this special issue are expected to be placed in the
context of coevolutionary and emergent dynamics.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Complexity theory of cyber-physical interactions
- Cyber-physical interactions in financial markets
- Cyber-physical interactions in labor markets
- Cyber-physical interactions in management
- Cyber-physical interactions in governance
- Cyber-physical interactions in human decision making
- Smartness and cyber-physical interactions
- History of cyber-physical interactions

Subject: Publication of Digital writing, digital Scriptures (Brill)
Dear all,
I am pleased to announce to you the publication of "Ecritures digitales.
Digital writing, digital Scriptures" (DBS4, Brill, 2019).
A version in open access, thanks to the SNSF support, can be downloaded
here: https://brill.com/view/title/54748
I join the summary below.
Kind greetings,
Claire Clivaz
/Ecritures digitales/ aims to demonstrate how digital writing
contributes to the emergence of "a new relationship between the human
body and the machine" as Jacques Derrida proposed when he considered the
effects of new technologies. This reconfigured relationship, not
surprisingly, is also influencing the digital future of the
Jewish-Christian textual corpus referred to as "the Scriptures". The
French title brings together this duality in one expression: /Ecritures
digitales/. The English subtitle makes explicit the double meaning of
the unique French word /Ecritures: Digital writing, digital Scriptures/.
With a full French version and an abbreviated English version, this
monograph analyzes the main challenges and opportunities for both
writing and the Scriptures in the transition to digital culture.

Subject: Announcing Launch Issue of ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories
Hi all,
I'm very delighted to announce the launch issue of ROMchip: A Journal
of Game Histories, cofounded by myself, Henry Lowood, and Raiford
Guins. ROMchip is an online, hybrid-audience scholarly journal, a
platform designed for the advancement of critical historical studies of
games (digital, electronic, and analog).
You can check out our first issue here:
(http://romchip.org/index.php/romchip-journal/index)
You can read our newsletter here:
(https://mailchi.mp/78bdc0c8e2d6/romchip01)
You can learn more about ROMchip here:
(http://romchip.org/index.php/romchip-journal/about)
ROMchip is also accepting content! We publish traditional peer reviewed
articles, interviews and oral histories, and "object lesson"-style short
essays on historic game artifacts. You can learn more about our content
types at our FAQ (http://romchip.org/index.php/romchip-journal/faq). We
are open to submissions from scholars across all disciplines, as well as
independent researchers, journalists, designers, enthusiasts--anyone
invested in taking games seriously.
Cheers,
Laine Nooney (http://www.lainenooney.com/)

Subject: Brill volume on Ancient Manuscripts in Digital Culture (DBS3)
Dear colleagues,
A new DBS series volume has been published:
David Hamidović, Claire Clivaz and Sarah Bowen Savant (eds.), in
collaboration with Alessandra Marguerat, Ancient Manuscripts in Digital
Culture. Visualisation, Data Mining and Communication (DBS3), Brill, 2019.
Thanks to a support of the Swiss National Science Foundation, you can
download it in open access here: https://brill.com/view/title/34930
Summary below.
Kind greetings,
Claire Clivaz
Ancient Manuscripts in Digital Culture presents an overview of the
digital turn in Ancient Jewish and Christian manuscripts visualisation,
data mining and communication. Edited by David HamidoviÄ, Claire Clivaz
and Sarah Bowen Savant, it gathers together the contributions of
seventeen scholars involved in Biblical, Early Jewish and Christian
studies. The volume attests to the spreading of digital humanities in
these fields and presents fundamental analysis of the rise of visual
culture as well as specific test-cases concerning ancient manuscripts.
Sophisticated visualisation tools, stylometric analysis, teaching and
visual data, epigraphy and visualisation belong notably to the varied
overview presented in the volume.
