E N C U L T U R A T I O N - > C F P: (Post-) Digital Studies
ISSN: 1525-3120
The editors of _Enculturation_ seek papers for a special issue on "(Post-)
Digital Studies." It is, perhaps, too soon to mark the end of a digital
age, but it is time to qualify its study: while the emergence and reliance
upon bit-based tech' continue to manifest, quantum and biological, and
technologies are also on the rise. In this issue, we hope to connect a core
of "traditional" articles focused on digital issues with the two additional
approaches, the quantum and biotechnological.
We are interested in projects/papers that approach these topics from a
plurality of discourses. That is, we are interested in articles that
interface with these three broad topoi from a variety of circulatory
systems. These systems/approaches might include one ore more of the
following: cultural studies, semiotics, psychoanalytics, feminisms,
hermeneutics, multimedia/communications theories, composition theories, and
narrative theories. Always encouraged are papers that strive to transform,
disrupt, or otherwise distort established theoretical, critical topoi.
IN ADDITION to academic projects/papers, we are interested in reviews of
original web-based games and projects, interfaces, newly published books,
print- or e-zines, digital 'event scenes,' emerging worlds, totems, and
other new or underrepresentated applications of digital, quantum, or
biological phenomena.
Text-based submissions should be no longer than 5000 words.
