CFP: DIY Citizenship: Critical Making and Social Media International Conference, Toronto, Canada University of Toronto, November 12-14, 2010 submission deadline: May 20, 2010 A renewed emphasis on participatory forms of digitally-mediated production is transforming our social landscape. ‘Making’ has become the dominant metaphor for a variety of digital and digitally-mediated practices. The web is exploding with independently produced digital ‘content’ such as video diaries, conversations, stories, software, music, video games - as well as communities of self-organized crafters, hackers, and other enthusiasts for whom 'making' is an explicitly political act. This interactive conference seeks to extend conversations about these new modes of engaged DIY citizenship. We invite scholars, activists, artists, designers, programmers and others interested in the social and participatory dimensions of digitally-mediated practices, to engage in dialogue across disciplinary and professional divides. All methodological and theoretical approaches are welcomed. Submissions may include paper proposals, works of art and/or design, short video or audio segments, performances, video games, digital media, or other genres and forms. Please submit a 250-word proposal or description of work/presentation and a one-page artist or scholarly CV to [email protected]<https://owa.utoronto.ca/owa/redir.aspx?C=5b504d72f02e4ebd90386c58e6615cde&URL=mailto%3asubmissions%40diycitizenship.com>.
