First Forum 2018, Cinema and Media Studies Graduate Conference, USC
Wednesday, March 21, 2018 (All day) to Tuesday, May 1, 2018 (All day)
FIRST FORUM invites submissions that explore the many meanings and implications of the concept of “emergency” in relation to cinema and media scholars and practitioners. The concept of the exception, the anomaly, and the crisis pervade both contemporary aesthetics and academic discourse, connected to Giorgio Agamben’s “state of exception.” In an emergency situation, the drive toward immediate response often disrupts perceptions of what is acceptable or permissible behavior. “Fake news,” live streaming, augmented reality, and dystopian fiction all exemplify responses to or attempts to reckon with moments of crisis or instability. Often these forms emphasize dissolution and destruction, often in a reactionary mode. While the contingency of an emergency state suggests precarity and uncertainty, it also possesses the possibility of new aesthetic, political, and social modes that have yet to be realized. Emergence can not only be theorized, but also practiced. What does media produced under states of emergency look and sound like? What is the role of the artist in moments of crisis?
WE SEEK to complicate this negative framework by bringing emergency into conversation with the connected term emergence. Emergency and emergence also can be considered catalytic concepts, cultivating moments of potential and fostering new forms of organization to respond to an emergency’s urgent call. What kinds of action are motivated by emergency thinking? How do viewers respond to media produced under emergency conditions? What other vocabularies might be employed to characterize radical change or a disruption in norms? Is there a way to conceptualize emergency that takes into consideration different modalities and histories? We invite interrogation of the potential of the theory and practice of emergency and of alternatives to this term, as ways of thinking about social, political, technological, and aesthetic transformations that occur during times of uncertainty.
POSSIBLE TOPICS might include: Practice-based work responding to crisis // Media technologies in both theory and practice // Journalism and propaganda // News and information (i.e. 24-hour news cycle, online fora, live streaming, etc.) // Political, humanitarian, and activist documentary // Live streaming // “Fake news” and concepts of truth // Ecology, the environment, climate change // Utopias and dystopias // Revolution and social action // Alternate forms of historiography and history-making // Aesthetic theories of emergence and systematicity
IN ADDITION to panel presentations, we will have a keynote speaker, alumni respondents, and a faculty roundtable.
PLEASE SUBMIT an abstract of no more than 200 words for a 20 minute panel presentation and a short bio. Non-traditional, creative projects are welcome, as are individual papers or pre-constituted panels. Please email your submissions and inquiries to firstforum18@gmail.com(link sends e-mail) by May 1st, 2018.

Call for Participation: Transacting DH: Roles, Rights, and Responsibilities of Collaboration
In 2011, Tanya Clement and Doug Reside convened an NEH-supported conversation titled Off the Tracks, which led to the eventual publication of the Collaborators’ Bill of Rights. Prompted by this year’s presidential theme–Textual Transactions–this guaranteed panel supported by the Association for Computer in the Humanities (ACH) will address questions of “transaction” as a combination of form and function. What models of collaboration have evolved across DH projects over time? How have advisors and students negotiated their roles in digital humanities research projects? What are the rights and responsibilities of mentoring, supervising, directing, or staffing a digital humanities research project? What are the boundaries of these transactions? How can digital humanities transactions challenge our ideas of collaboration?
This session will consider what the rights, roles, and responsibilities associated with forms of DH research and pedagogical transaction. What models are there? What are the pitfalls? What honest conversation can we have about them? We would like to hear models from those working in a variety of situations: faculty, altac, library, student, advisory board, volunteer, or administrator. Proposals should include be no more than 250 words and describe both the opportunities and challenges of “transacting” digital humanities projects. Please also include a short one-paragraph biographical statement. Proposals can be emailed to Lisa Rhody at lrhody@gc.cuny.edu by March 26th.
Freedman Center Colloquium on Digital Scholarship
Thursday, November 1, 2018 – Friday, November 2, 2018
Join us for a rousing discussion of democracy and the digital at the fourth Digital Scholarship Colloquium hosted by Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. We are now accepting proposals for papers, posters, panels, and/or demonstrations from scholars, students, librarians/archivists, technologists, non-profit researchers, and community organizers that interrogate the ways that digital tools work to either uphold or upend democracy, and how research might be used to advocate for positive impact within communities experiencing disruption and inequality. The colloquium is an opportunity to connect people to the scholarly work and digital tools that directly or indirectly affects their lives and civil liberties.
Proposals will fall into one of three categories:
- Methodology: Proposed submissions discuss digital scholarship projects as case studies, including their workflows and best practices.
- Theory: Proposed submissions discuss theoretical topics around digital scholarship, such as the ethics of big data, impact measurement, DS labor practices, or DS classroom pedagogy.
- Workshops: Proposed submissions aim to teach attendees a skill using a specific digital tool, e.g. text mining with Voyant, a quick intro to Timeline JS, or how to “hydrate” social media data. Attendees would bring laptops to these sessions.
Proposals may include, but are not limited to topics related to healthcare, law, social sciences, housing, the environment, or social justice activism, such as:
- Geospatial analysis of gerrymandering
- Using big data to fight the opioid crisis
- Algorithmic bias and predictive policing
- Digital surveillance and constitutional rights
- Equitable labor and cultural production
- Net neutrality and digital access
Here are examples of Digital Scholarship Colloquium past colloquia:
Please submit your proposals here. All submissions must be received by May 31, 2018, and notifications of acceptance will be sent by mid-June. Proposals should clearly connect to the theme of democracy and digital scholarship and identify action-oriented takeaways or opportunities for collaboration in and out of academia. Proposals where academics or nonprofit researchers are analyzing community-based projects should include members of that community on the panel. Proposals should evince a range of perspectives and identities among presenters. Accepted proposals should follow guidelines on creating accessible presentations. (https://www.diglib.org/dlf-events/2016forum/guide-to-creating-accessible-presentations/)
Accepted papers will have the opportunity to be published in an open access journal created by Case Western Reserve University and hosted in our institutional repository, Digital Case. If you have any questions, please contact Stacie Williams, Team Lead for Digital Learning & Scholarship at stacie.m.williams@case.edu or Charlie Harper, Digital Learning & Scholarship Librarian at charles.harper@case.edu.
