Before we can address the digital divide, we must first understand the nature of life in the digital age, the many challenges and opportunities it presents, and the interplay of influence between technological and social change. Then, in turn, we can fully understand digital inequality; its place alongside other long-standing, persistent issues of social equity, social justice, and media justice; and what it means to be disconnected from the most important technological advancement in communication in a generation and the myriad possibilities it facilitates. Thus, PPDD 2019 invites work that informs issues related to information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the digital divide broadly defined, including but not limited to:

Special issue of the Journal Interações
Deadline: April 25, 2019
Different communication patterns (online and offline) influence individuals to have specific behaviours concerning civic participation and adherence to social movements of different ideological frameworks and scopes.
As publics have the chance to channel their ideas through Internet behaviours, literature often identifies Internet as a public space that promotes collective action, and acknowledges that technology is shaping the structure and identity of social movements and ideological groups.
The analysis of direct and indirect influences of media practices on civic engagement must consider that democracy is not a static concept and that such engagement is also influenced by political institutions.
The media amplifies political discourses and this mediation socially constructs events. The ‘mediated engagement’ of citizens may enhance either civic involvement or political manipulation.
In this special issue of the Journal Interações we propose a reflection on Media, Civic Participation, Social Movements, Democracy and Populism. Unpublished works that present research results and/or theoretical reflection on this theme are accepted covering, among others, the following topics:

ECREA Digital Games Research Section symposium
November 7-8, 2019
Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Deadline: April 30, 2019
The 2010s is almost over, and game studies is preparing to enter another decade. The current decade has seen discussions on ludification and e-sports as well as the true breakthrough of terms such as gamification, signifying the pervasive and ubiquitous nature of games and play in contemporary societies. This symposium hosted by the ECREA Digital Games Research Section aims to look at where we have been and where we are going as a field - what could be the next steps? Where could we go from here, and what is going to happen to game studies in the 2020s? How does the multi-disciplinary field of game studies relate to the similarly multi-disciplinary field of communication studies? What kind of innovations are waiting around the corner when it comes to novel research methods or theorizing? What kind of phenomena are only beginning to receive attention, where are the remaining gaps in research?
We are inviting presentations and panels, which may deal with any aspect of game studies or the intersection of game studies with the broader field of communication sciences. We especially encourage proposals that deal with innovations in research methods, empirical research, theory development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and other ways of renewing or re-inventing game studies. We are also open to discussing work-in-progress research projects.
Possible topics include, but are not restricted to, the ones listed here:
Submission guidelines
Abstracts should be max. 500 words + bibliography, and include the contact information of the author(s).
Panel proposals should include 1) a 300-word rationale for the panel, 2) a 150-word abstract describing each participant's contribution, and 3) contact information for each panelist. Each panelist must be willing to register for and attend the symposium if the panel is accepted.
Abstracts and panel proposals should be submitted by April 30 2019 through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/cfp/gameco2019
Decisions on the proposals will be made by the end of May 2019. There are plans to produce a publication, either a journal theme issues or an edited volume, based on selected seminar presentations.
Venue
The conference will be held at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Department of Media and Communication of the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication)

As we approach the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 2019, the editors of this special issue of New Global Studies are seeking scholarly articles, narrative nonfiction essays, creative writing and reportage about the current proliferation, rescaling, reinforcement, militarisation and securitisation of territorial and other types of borders – linguistic, religious, ethnic, class, racial, cultural, digital, etc.
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolically inaugurated the period of post-Cold War globalization. Neoliberal ideologies of “free trade,” privatization, individual agency and market primacy, championed by international financial institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, became dominant in most of the world. The explosion of the World Wide Web (which also turns 30 in 2019), increasingly rapid information and communication technologies, the omnipresence of (social) media, the ratification of English as the language of globalization and the new consciousness around global climate change led many observers to believe that (national) borders had become passé.
Cosmopolitanism, post-nationalism, mobility, connectivity, networks, space-time compression, multilateral trade agreements, homogenization and deterritorialization are some of the most influential concepts associated with globalization. Paradoxically, however, borders of all types are proliferating. Income inequality has created harder borders between the haves and the have-nots (gated residential communities, privatized services for the middle classes and the erosion of public resources for the low-income); (social) media siloes divide audiences and users into different information zones ripe for political and corporate manipulation; digital divides separate the rural from the urban and the rich from the poor. Neoliberal global capitalism has yielded all of these borders and more.
In tandem, the anti-globalization backlash also represents a solidification of national, linguistic, class, ethnic, racial, cultural, and spatio-temporal borders – Brexit, Trump’s border wall, the reinforcement of the concrete wall that the state of Israel has built along and inside the West Bank, the growing power of right-wing authoritarian leaders in several nations and the resurgence of xenophobia, racism, nationalism, isolationism, populism, protectionism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and religious chauvinism are all symptoms and consequences of this backlash.
Topics and questions addressed by contributors may include but are not restricted to the following:
Creative writing, narrative nonfiction essays, experimental writings, scholarly articles from a variety of disciplines, interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary perspectives and geographical vantage points are welcomed. Reviews, poetry, event reports, and interviews pertinent to the special issue are also of interest. Please contact the issue editors to enquire about possibilities here or if you have any questions regarding the suitability of possible topics and material for inclusion.
Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words and a brief biographical note to the issue editors, Pier Paolo Frassinelli (pierpaolof@uj.ac.za) and Melissa Tandiwe Myambo (melissa.myambo@wits.ac.za) by 1 May, 2019. Please indicate the expected length of your submission. We hope to include the maximum number of works by keeping work published on the shorter side where possible.
Notification of acceptance will be no later than the end of May 2019. If accepted, full works (3,500 to 6,500 words) will be due by 1 August, 2019.

The successful Brexit referendum campaign; Donald Trump’s election; and the rise of right-wing nationalist-populist political parties and movements – all of these events have incited renewed interest in public communication and the internetised media, deliberative democracy and public spheres, challenged by an informational abundance that generates a communicative liquefaction of publicness and politics.
This book celebrates the 25th anniversary of the journal Javnost – The Public, bringing together internationally renowned scholars from 20 countries to discuss topical issues in contemporary media and communication research. It focuses on challenging issues of the changing nature of publicness and the public sphere in the internet age, issues of democracy and the crisis of public communication and the tasks of media and communication research as a social practice. It critically reflects on the democratisation crisis and the demise of popular and scholarly optimism, which the emerging internet inspired in early 1990s, when Javnost – The Public was founded.
