[SIGCIS-Members] CFP: ICA preconference on Historiograpy as Intervention, deadline Nov 15

[Thomas Haigh]

Hello,

 

I received the message below regarding an ICA preconference on
"Historiography as Intervention: Communicating Across Geographies,
Communities & Divides" from Ben Peters [mailto:bjpeters at gmail.com]. He asks
me to tell you that "Inquiries on the pre-conference below should go to
Travers Scott,  <mailto:dscott3 at g.clemson.edu> dscott3 at g.clemson.edu."

As I was reminded at the SIGCIS workshop over the weekend, a significant
convergence is taking place between the historical communities concerned
with communications history and the history of computing/IT. This is driven
in part by the real-world convergence of the technologies from the 1970s
onward, but I suspect that we'll also start to see hitherto neglected
parallels emerging in studies of earlier eras as well. The push within the
"information school" world to define a hybrid field of "information history"
is another interesting chance to make new kinds of connections. In another
generation or two it may seem odd to people that we ever thought of
communications history and computing history as largely distinct.

"Historiography as Intervention: Communicating Across Geographies,
Communities & Divides"
International Communication Association Preconference 
Sponsored by the Communication History Interest Group: Phoenix, May 24, 2012
[note corrected date]

Historiography can engage in contemporary struggles and change the way we
see the world and its possibilities. This ICA preconference aims to
instigate intersections and encounters that can provoke collaborative
interventions with issues facing our discipline, schools, communities, and
countries. Proposals should present historiographic methods and/or historic
data, theories or subject matter within a framework of social intervention
by providing tools, offering insight or communicating information. Work
should be from or of interest to historians and communication scholars.
Innovative proposals for transdisciplinary, multimodal or media-based
presentations (e.g., interactive digital archives, documentary screenings,
database tours) are highly encouraged. 

 

Send abstracts of 300 words by November 15, 2011 to D. Travers Scott,
dscott3 at g.clemson.edu. Authors will be informed of decisions by December 15,
2011. Papers due May 1, 2012. Preconference will be at the conference hotel,
the Phoenix Sheraton Downtown. 

 

Sponsored by the International Communication Association's Communication
History Interest Group. Organized by D. Travers Scott, Clemson University,
with Devon Powers, Drexel University.
