[Journalistiek1517] Tactical Media Meet-Up: The European Internet Blockade of Russian Propagandist Media

by Lonneke van der Velden

Dear all, People on this list might be interested in the following event in SPUI25 on Thursday: Tactical Media Meet-Up: The European Internet Blockade of Russian Propagandist Media Against the backdrop of the war with Ukraine, the Russian government has sharply increased funding for state media, resulting in an unprecedented level of state propaganda spread on social media platforms. As a consequence, US and EU lawmakers and Ukrainian officials have jolted into action by pressuring social media platforms in an attempt to curb Russian misinformation. This seems to be a watershed moment with regard to freedom of the press and internet freedom. We discuss what is at stake with internet activists and journalists directly involved in war-news production. Following US and EU lawmakers’ and Ukrainian officials’ pressing requests, YouTube has said it would block Russia Today and Sputnik in the European Union, while Twitter and Meta, the parent of Facebook, have said they would label content from the outlets as state-sponsored. However, this decision was criticized by internet service providers and internet freedom organizations as it expands the legal precedents for state censorship in Europe. Is freedom of speech sacrosanct or does the distribution of content via the internet come with responsibilities and if so, where lies that responsibility? Who are duty bearers? How do these decisions affect internet connectivity? Will censoring Putin’s propaganda machine be a precedent for the future curbing of freedom of the press and internet freedom? Tonight, the Tactical Media Room initiative brings together media- and tech specialists, journalists, and policymakers from the media outlets of the Netherlands, Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus to discuss the shaping of Europe’s digital public domain. It is the first debate on this issue that includes internet activists and journalists directly involved in war-news production and delves deeply into the arguments on the levels of both technical, and content-related aspects. *About the speakers* */Elmaz Asanova/* is a Crimean Tatar/Ukrainian journalist (ATR Channel, Kyiv, Ukraine) and activist.

[Journalistiek1517] DISNOVATION @ Buzzhouse - 23 February from 17:30 - 20:00h

by marc tuters

On 23 February from 17:30 - 20:00h we welcome the research collective DISNOVATION.ORG for an evening dedicated to disruption, speculation, post-growth prototypes, meme wars and online subcultures. The conversation is hosted by IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture] at BuzzHouse and is a sneak-preview of the upcoming exhibition Post-Growth (Na de Groei), which will open at IMPAKT in Utrecht on 4 March. The event is moderated by Marc Tuters, Assistant Professor in the University of Amsterdam's Media Studies faculty, and Arjon Dunnewind, director of IMPAKT. DISNOVATION.ORG, short for ‘disobedient innovation’, is a research collective set up in Paris in 2012, whose core members include Maria Roszkowska (PL), Nicolas Maigret (FR) and Baruch Gottlieb (CA). They work at the interface of art, research and hacking. More specifically their recent artistic provocations seek to empower Post Growth imaginaries and practises by challenging the widespread faith that ‘economic growth’ and ‘technological fixes’ will solve the ecosystemic disruptions they produced in the first place. For this special session at BuzzHouse we will focus on two themes that are central to DISNOVATION.ORG’s artistic and research practice: “online power structures” and “Post-Growth,” followed by an informal discussion and games. All of you are welcome to join! Online power structures DISNOVATION’s work Online Culture Wars serves as a starting point to talk about Online power structures. The work consists of two parts: a map and a series of videos. The Map Online Culture Wars is an overlay of hundreds of politicised memes, along with influential political figures and symbols. It is designed as a discussion starter, intended to visualise and contextualise the ongoing online culture wars, and some of the main political references, actors, and influencers. The video Online Culture Wars (called THE PERSUADABLES) focuses on the political instrumentalisation of the tools, techniques, and infrastructures of the web, with particular attention to social media as an ecosystem of influence and online manipulation of opinion. It exposes some practises broadly used for online propaganda, as well as the creative responses they trigger in civil society. Post Growth How long can we continue pursuing economic growth? What ideological, social and biophysical factors precipitate the current environmental crises? What agency is available for transformative practises to avert large scale ecosystemic breakdown? The concept of Post-Growth is central to DISNOVATION.ORG’s practice. Their new Post-Growth series, comprising installations, videos, interviews, and a board game invites us to challenge concepts of growth and progress, and explores the radical implications of speculative artistic prototypes, such as an economic model based on energy emitted by the Sun. This research encounters the vital challenges of a shift away from the overexploitation of fossil fuels on which the reproduction of our societies mainly depends today. Post Growth Toolkit Game To examine and challenge our ideas about growth in a more playful way, at BuzzHouse we will also propose a game: the Post Growth Toolkit Game: a tactical board game developed by DISNOVATION.ORG which invites players to explore a number of key concepts such as ‘geo-diversity’, ‘downgrading’ and ‘indigenous economics’ and revise their understanding of the world in a time of radical change. The card game will be the catalyst to debate and to trace out paths towards post-fossil futures, supported by alternative models for ecological and economic assessment. From 4 March to 22 May IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture] will present Post Growth: the first Dutch solo exhibition of works by the DISNOVATION.ORG collective. Read more: https://impakt.nl/events/2022/exhibition/post-growth-na-de-groei/ About IMPAKT IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture] is a media arts organization based in Utrecht. We present critical and creative views on contemporary media culture and arts, in an interdisciplinary context. Our aim is to identify urgent issues in our digital and transglobal culture by focusing on the relationship between society, media, technology and arts. We organise activities throughout the year, both online and at our venue at Lange Nieuwstraat 4, including exhibitions, panels, artist-talks, presentations, screenings, a residency programme, and the yearly IMPAKT Festival in November. www.impakt.nl

What ideological, social and biophysical factors precipitate the current environmental crises? What agency is available for transformative practises to avert large scale ecosystemic breakdown? The concept of Post-Growth is central to DISNOVATION.ORG’s practice. Their new Post-Growth series, comprising installations, videos, interviews, and a board game invites us to challenge concepts of growth and progress, and explores the radical implications of speculative artistic prototypes, such as an economic model based on energy emitted by the Sun. This research encounters the vital challenges of a shift away from the overexploitation of fossil fuels on which the reproduction of our societies mainly depends today. Post Growth Toolkit Game To examine and challenge our ideas about growth in a more playful way, at BuzzHouse we will also propose a game: the Post Growth Toolkit Game: a tactical board game developed by DISNOVATION.ORG which invites players to explore a number of key concepts such as ‘geo-diversity’, ‘downgrading’ and ‘indigenous economics’ and revise their understanding of the world in a time of radical change. The card game will be the catalyst to debate and to trace out paths towards post-fossil futures, supported by alternative models for ecological and economic assessment. From 4 March to 22 May IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture] will present Post Growth: the first Dutch solo exhibition of works by the DISNOVATION.ORG collective.

by republica Programm

####english version below#### Liebe Community, in 2022 wird die re:publica Berlin mehr denn je ein Plädoyer für Engagement und Verantwortung, für Emanzipation und Empathie in der digitalen Gesellschaft sein. Wir stellen uns den Krisen und den Herausforderungen. Wir bleiben hoffnungsvoll und mutig. Wir wollen das Gute in der Welt feiern und Lösungen anpacken. Wir wollen endlich wieder diskutieren, streiten, Kompromisse finden, protestieren, werkeln, lachen und feiern! Jede*r ist eingeladen, mitzumachen. Dafür brauchen wir euch: Wir laden euch ein, das Programm der re:publica mitzugestalten und Themen und Projekte bei unserem Call for Participation einzureichen. Um eine Idee einzusenden, müsst ihr lediglich unser CfP-Formular online ausfüllen. Details dazu und weitere Informationen zum Call for Participation findet ihr hier <http://ec2-54-189-84-127.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=17858301&l=a…> und in den FAQ <http://ec2-54-189-84-127.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=17858301&l=a…> . Direkt zur CfP-Registrierung geht es hier <http://ec2-54-189-84-127.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=17858301&l=1…> entlang. Something new: Orte, Motto & Formate der re:publica 22 Der Ort Die re:publica Berlin kehrt vom 8. bis 10. Juni 2022 mit jeder Menge Energie und Enthusiasmus zurück. Gemeinsam mit euch, möchten wir alle Nischen, Ecken, Flächen und Gewässer unserer neuen Festival-Locations mit Leben füllen: Auf dem Gelände der Arena Berlin und dem Festsaal Kreuzberg wird es neben mehreren Sprech- und Show-Bühnen genügend Platz für Workshops, Deep-Dive-Stationen, Science-Labs, Makerspaces, Coding-, Game- und Tech-Camps, Artworks und Aktionen jeglicher Form geben. Zahlreiche Außenflächen und das Badeschiff auf der Spree laden dazu ein, von euch bespielt zu werden. Das Motto – Any Way the Wind Blows Wer von euch schon einmal die re:publica besucht hat, weiß, dass sie stets mit dem feierlichen, gemeinsamen Singen von Queens „Bohemian Rhapsody“ endet. „Any Way the Wind Blows“ ist die letzte Zeile dieses Songs. Die letzten Worte, die im vorpandemischen Miteinander der re:publica 2019 fielen, waren demnach: Any Way the Wind Blows! Der Satz ist eine Redewendung, die für Standhaftigkeit steht, für das Konstante, während die Welt jeden Tag etwas mehr in Trümmern liegt. Er macht dabei Mut, dass das Gute bleiben wird. Das Motto schwingt zwischen „Kann man eh nichts machen“ und „Es wird schon weitergehen“. Es ermahnt zur Demut vor dem Kontrollverlust, macht aber auch Mut und wirbt für Optimismus. All die Themen, die uns brennend beschäftigen, immer und immer wieder, kann kein Wind fortblasen, und wir werden uns ihnen auf der re:publica 22 stellen. Die Formate Damit ihr noch mehr Raum für eure Programm-Ideen habt, haben wir den Call for Participation auf vier Festivalbereiche ausgeweitet und um verschiedene mögliche Formate ergänzt. CONFERENCE: Sprecht und diskutiert auf unseren Bühnen darüber, mit welchen Ideen wir die digitale Gesellschaft lebenswerter gestalten können.

Formate, die ihr einreichen könnt: Workshop, Tutorial, Dialog-Format, Games OFF STAGE: Was auch immer euch einfällt, um das Gelände der #rp22 zu bespielen und mitzugestalten – künstlerisch, aktivistisch, wissenschaftlich, technologisch, informativ.

Ein Grund dafür ist, dass sich das Programm zu einem großen Teil aus den Beiträgen der Community zusammensetzt. Jede*r kann teilnehmen und etwas zum Programm der #rp22 beitragen – ob live vor Ort oder mit einem “Remote-Beitrag”. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn ihr am Call for Participation teilnehmt und auch eure Freund*innen dazu ermuntert, ihre Themen und Projekte auf die re:publica-Bühnen und damit in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit zu bringen!

Something new: Locations, motto & formats of re:publica 22 The venue Next year, re:publica Berlin returns with plenty of new energy and enthusiasm from 8 to 10 June 2022. Together with you, we want to fill all the spaces, corners and waterways of our new festival locations with life. The grounds of Arena Berlin and Festsaal Kreuzberg will feature several stages for talks and shows, as well as enough space for workshops, deep-dive stops, science labs, makerspaces, coding, game and tech camps, artworks and actions of all kinds. Various outdoor areas and the "Badeschiff" pool will invite you to come and have a go. The motto: Any Way the Wind Blows Anyone who has ever attended re:publica knows that the festival always ends with the celebratory and collective singing of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". "Any Way the Wind Blows" is the last line of this song. The last words spoken at the pre-pandemic get-together of re:publica 2019 were therefore: Any Way the Wind Blows! The phrase is an idiom that stands for resilience, for the consistent—while the world lies a little more in ruins every day. It encourages that the good will remain. As a figure of speech, it oscillates between "Ain’t nothing you can do anyway" and "Life goes on". It reminds us to be humble when faced with a loss of control, but it also encourages us and promotes optimism. No wind can blow away all those issues that are on our minds, over and over again, and we will face them at re:publica 22. Our formats To give you even more space for your programme ideas, we have extended the Call for Participation to all four content areas and added several possible formats. CONFERENCE: Speak and discuss on our stages about how we can create a digital society that is worth living in. Formats you can submit: Lightning Talk, Lecture, In Conversation With, Panel Discussion, Live Podcast, Meetup HANDS ON: From hardware workshops, free handicrafts and tinkering to gardening with robots, live biohacking and TikTok dance tutorials: all sessions related to making and learning have their place in our "Hands On" programme. Formats you can submit: Workshop, Tutorial, Dialogue Format, Games OFF STAGE: Anything you can think of to perform or create on the festival grounds—artistic, activist, scientific, technological, informative. Formats you can submit: Intervention, Performance, Installation, Contest, Film, Theatre & Musical, Special Format NIGHTLIFE: We are looking forward to musicians, DJ sets, karaoke organisers, producers of musicals and everyone who wants to celebrate #rp22 together with all participants. Formats you can submit: DJ Set, Karaoke Show, Concert, Slams, Dance There is still time! The Call for Participation for the "Conference" and "Hands On" programme ends on 06 February 2022 (23:59 CET). The Call for Participation for the "Off Stage" programme ends on 06 March 2022 (23:59 CET). And last but not least: re:publica is not just a festival. Rather, it is a network and an attitude. It stands for diversity and complexity. Part of this is due to the fact that the programme is largely made up of contributions from the community. Everybody is invited to participate and contribute to the programme of #rp22—whether live on site or with a "remote contribution". Please join the Call for Participation and encourage your friends to bring their topics and projects to the re:publica stages and into the focus of the public, too! Spread the word & hope to see you soon!

[Journalistiek1517] PhD position in Digital Methods @ KU Leuven

by Richard Rogers

Hi all, Just note to say that the supervisors indicated to me that the Pre-PhD position has excellent chances of being extended to full term. Best, Richard Pre-PhD scholarship (1 year): Sharing humor in pandemic times: exploring a global dataset of jokes and memes collected during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Co-supervised by Giselinde Kuipers (sociology, KU Leuven) and Mark Boukes (communication science, University of Amsterdam) Based at the Center for Sociological Research, KU Leuven, Belgium We are looking for an almost/recent graduate (MSc or MA) in communication science, media studies or social science with a background in computational or digital methods and a strong affinity with exploring new methods (e.g., visual machine learning, dating of digital content using time stamps and other methods) and new types of data (e.g. visual data, memes in various languages). A proven experience with such methods is an asset, but not required. Please elaborate on your skills and competencies in your motivation letter. Starting date: 1 February 2022 What we are offering: We are offering a one-year research position, funded with a doctoral grant from the KU Leuven. During this year, the candidate and supervisors will work on a proposal for a full (4-year) PhD project that will be submitted to various funding agencies (eg. internal funds of KU Leuven, FWO). Moreover, we will jointly work on research papers based on this project, which will be submitted for publication by the end of the year. The candidate will also be involved in ongoing international collaborations based on the Covid- 19 dataset (see below). The candidate is encouraged to develop new ideas, research questions and methodological approaches, and to independently develop collaborations with international colleagues. We offer considerable freedom to pursue your own ideas and highly value creativity and an independent mindset. Background: In March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, we started collecting the jokes, memes and other forms of humor that were shared via various online platforms. Our effort was joined by scholars from around the world, and by the summer of 2020, we had collected about 12,000 humorous items, in many forms (text, image, clip, sound file) and many languages. This unprecedented dataset of global humor and memes offers many opportunities for asking new research questions, and experimenting with new data. We think this will be an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic PhD candidate with a background in digital/computational methods to write a PhD dissertation on one of the many fascinating aspects of the new forms of humor that emerged during this pandemic. Possible topics include: the spread and adaptation of memes or jokes, including the mapping of patterns of diffusion over time and place; regional or national differences vs. global similarities; representation of persons (celebrities or politicians); prominence and spread of meme templates; political aspects and functions of Covid humor; and much more. For more information: please contact Giselinde Kuipers (giselinde.kuipers(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:giselinde.kuipers@kuleuven.be>) and Mark Boukes (m.boukes(a)uva.nl<mailto:m.boukes@uva.nl>). Please send your email to both addresses. How to apply: Please submit your letter of motivation with full CV, a writing sample and the names of two referees to giselinde.kuipers(a)kuleuven.be<mailto:giselinde.kuipers@kuleuven.be> before 15 November 2021 Prof. Richard Rogers Media Studies University of Amsterdam digitalmethods.net<http://digitalmethods.net> r.a.rogers(a)uva.nl Out now: R. Rogers (2019), Doing Digital Methods, Los Angeles: Sage. Just out: R. Rogers and S. Niederer (eds.) (2020), The Politics of Social Media Manipulation, Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press.
