---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [balkans] CfP: Social Media in Post-Communist Europe, Acta Universitatis Sapientiae, Social Analysis From: "Nistor Laura" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, June 9, 2011 3:09 pm To: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear members of the list, I'd like to share with you the following CfP. However the deadline is tight, it is possible to postpone it, by request. The forthcoming, 2/2011 issue of the Acta Universitatis Sapientiae, Social Analysis seeks to investigate the many facets, challenges and risks social media can play in the making and remaking of todayâs society. We are especially interested in empirical studies and theoretically well-grounded essays which analyze the rising of network society in post-socialist contexts. Common wisdom assesses that this part of the world constitutes a laggard in terms of Internet penetration and access to digital devices. Meanwhile, Internet, social media, web 2, etc. represent an emerging social reality in these countries as well. We wish to look beyond the common sense and to seek answers to the following main questions: How social media are received and used in these countries in order to link different levels and strata of the social? How and to what degree the Internet can contribute to the dissolution of social inequalities or, on the contrary, are we legitimated to talk about new, specific, Internet-mediated inequalities in this part of the world? How the Internet and social media are used, misused and abused in specific areas of the social (e.g. education, research, health-care, business, leadership, etc.)? How and to what degree the Internet in general and social media in particular can contribute to social and political campaigns and mobilizations? Manuscripts centered on the above or connected topics should be about 5,000-7,000 words and should arrive to the Editorial Board of the Acta Universitatis Sapientiae, Social Analysis no later than July 31, 2011.
