> (CDCS) at the University of Pennsylvania invites submissions of stories
of digital radicals from around the world. A digital radical is a person
with a radical relationship to digital technologies. This relationship
could be reflected in an attitude or belief, a daily practice, a political
act or commitment, a way of life, and more. As to what is radical about the
relationship, we will leave it for you to decide. It could be about forms
of disengagement from social media, or ways of deploying them for social
and political causes. We welcome stories about both well-known public
figures and ordinary individuals around us. They may be people you know
directly, or people you know through the media or your research. The
stories may be biographical or autobiographical. The important thing is
that you have a story to tell about the individual, and your story
illustrates a vision for what you think of as a radical approach to digital
technologies. The current conditions of social media and technological
developments demand radical new visions and new politics.

Stories of individuals are becoming a rarity in our digital age.
Contemporary society is saturated with data, metrics, and quantification.
Our personal traces on the web are harvested and turned into data to serve
commercial, political, and other purposes beyond our control. Individual
experiences are reduced to numbers. Against this background, we call for
sto We welcome submissions at any time. Submissions may be between 2,000
and 8,000 words, prepared in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style.
Essays will be published on a regular basis in an online magazine called
The Digital Radical, which will be hosted on a CDCS website currently under
design. To be considered for the first issue, please send your submission
before October 15, 2019.

A reading committee will select ones for publication. We will provide the
authors of all selected essays with a modest honorarium. Selected authors
may also be invited to speak at the inaugural symposium on Digital Culture
and Society at the University of Pennsylvania on April 3, 2020. An
anthology of "Stories of Digital Radicals" may be published in the future.
Please email all submissions in Word format with your contact information
to: cdcs at asc.upenn.edu<mailto:cdcs at asc.upenn.edu>
