CFP: Virtual Identities and Self-Promotion
|
*CALL FOR PAPERS FOR VIRTUAL IDENTITIES AND SELF PROMOTION
AT THE PCA/ACA 2012 National Conference
Boston 2012 April 11-14*
Virtual Identities and Self Promotion aims to examine, explore and
critically engage with the issues surrounding creating a sense of self in
online environments. These new technologies have changed the way we think
and how we have constructed our identities and consequently have informed
our relationships and interactions within both online and offline arenas.
We invite submissions investigating and exploring virtual identity creation
and self promotion, including but not limited to the ways in which users:
• Use social media to create identity professionally, personally, socially,
academically
• Socially construct (gender, race, sex, etc) their identity in online
environments including social media, and other online communities
• Use online technology in order to study language, communication, and
identity construction
• Construct and reconstruct themselves in arenas promoting user-generated
content, such as youtube
• Surveil, adapt, and/or censor their online identities and content,
changing the nature of digital expression
• Create digital artifacts as a way of self discovery and identity
construction
• Negotiate online identity with physical identity socially, professionally,
and academically
• Use online interactions for validation of self, emotionally and/or
intellectually
• Are affected by interface design in their online experiences as well as
their identity
Please email paper proposal abstracts (100-250 words) by December 15, 2011
