WAR SOCIETY: The Militarized Information/Communication Environment and 
Resistance

Since 9/11 when the world was interpolated into a "permanent war 
society," much has been written and produced in media about the parallel 
and 'dominant' tools used by war perpetrators: from military network war 
theories and cultures of 'warfighting' to the emergence of weaponized 
information and communication technologies and industries (examples: 
from games to drones and their cultural implications; from the expansion 
of the "war" to new regimes of militarized culture, permanent 
surveillance, as well as the re-emergence of links between permanent war 
and the propaganda structures of main stream media).

This special issue of DC seeks to shift the balance. We invite papers 
that frame all of these developments in a critical light, using 
theoretical perspectives based in, but not limited by, Political Economy 
and critical Cultural Studies.

We encourage research which both highlights the "war" society but also 
focuses upon the inevitable contradictions and social resistances 
inherent in such an over-arching historical ambition.

Deadline for finished papers is June, 2013
