Outside of the West, communities have traditionally innovated and engaged different forms of media, whether using textiles, dog's teeth, valuables or abacus. These myriad forms remain integral to the networks of communications and relations. Today the new media technologies of the Internet, mobile phones and social networking sites provide another venue for innovation and continuity. In this special issue, we hope to explore how the "newness" of new media is experienced outside of Euro-America, ranging from how communities have and are responding to the introduction of writing to the introduction of mobile phones and social networking sites. Two themes guide these ethnographic explorations: the "newness" of new media for dialogue and the "newness" of new media for representation. Completed essays (5,000-7,000 words) need to be submitted by June 1, 2012.
