[ecrea] Call for Open Review of Social Media in the Anthropocene

Call for Open Review of Social Media in the Anthropocene

Both social media and the Anthropocene are mediums that challenge norms 
of scholarly practice, disciplinary boundaries and in this case the 
review process. We invite you to the Open Review of contributions for 
the upcoming special-issue on “Social Media in the Anthropocene”. The 
issue is an experiment curated by the KTH Environmental Humanities 
Laboratory, to be published 2016 in Resilience: A Journal of the 
Environmental Humanities.

 “Social Media in the Anthropocene” seeks to make two moves in the same 
issue. The first is to engage with the multifaceted concept of 
‘Anthropocene’, building on the conversations of the Anthropocene Campus 
at Haus der Kulturen der Welt and has also been joined by additional 
scholars interested in social media. The second move is to explore the 
implication of social media for the nature and impact of the 
‘Anthropocene’. Thus the intersection of social media and the 
concept of ‘Anthropocene’ informs both the content of the special issue, 
and the process of knowledge production and dissemination in which it 
participates.

You receive this request as scholars and Anthropocene inquirers and we 
ask that you be part of the Open Review by which the contributions are 
assessed. The Open Review adopts the format of social media itself, e.g. 
posting, sharing, commenting and re-posting, as part of the review 
process itself.

As reviewer, you will receive the Open Review schedule where you will be 
assigned one text for close reading and the rest are for extensive 
reading according to your time and interest in these.

The texts will be available for review for 24 hours only, after which 
the Open Review moves on to the next text. You can make annotations and 
comments directly in the text and authors will be available to respond. 
The Open Review is non-anonymous. Editors will ensure that comments 
focus on content, ad hominem-offences result in banning.

To join as reviewer, email: (tom.buurman /at/ ims.su.se)
The Open Review Schedule is announced 5 November
The Open Review is planned for 23 November - 4 December

Feel free to contact us for any questions regarding the Open Review and 
the special-issue. We look forward to working with you,
