[ecrea] CFP: Machine Communication (Deadline Approaching)

*CFP –  Machine Communication*

/communication +1/invites submissions for its upcoming issue, Machine
Communication.

*Edited by David Gunkel and Zachary McDowell*

Within this issue we hope to explore the boundaries of communication
outside of the human, that which is inevitably radically other – the
machine. We seek articles that interrogate the implications and the
various problematics that emerge around, within, and from the engagement
with the machine. What does the machine have to say about our history,
our present, or our future?

Whether the question of human-machine interaction, machine-machine
interaction, or machines interacting with themselves, we hope to find
and collect articles probing the boundaries of concern for machine
communication.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

Algorithmic Culture – Influence of machines on human or other
non-machine culture; Robotic Automation – Drones, Robots, or other
automated systems that exist in the corporeal world and take part in a
variety of tasks; Artificial Intelligence – Either  soft-AI and its
effects or hard-AI and its possible futures / implications. Other topics
might include Cybernetics, Bioinformatics, Knowledge Representation, or
various applications of Software Theory.

Please submit short proposals of no more than 500 words by December
13^th , 2015 to (communicationplusone /at/ gmail.com)
<mailto:(communicationplusone /at/ gmail.com)>.

Upon invitation, full text submissions will be due April 5^th , 2013,
with expected publication in September, 2016.

*About the Journal*

The aim of /communication +1/ is to promote new approaches to and open
new horizons in the study of communication from an interdisciplinary
perspective. We are particularly committed to promoting research that
seeks to constitute new areas of inquiry and to explore new frontiers of
theoretical activities linking the study of communication to both
established and emerging research programs in the humanities, social
sciences, and arts. Other than the commitment to rigorous scholarship,
/communication +1/ sets no specific agenda. Its primary objective is to
create is a space for thoughtful experiments and for communicating these
experiments.

/communication +1 /is an open access journal supported by University of
Massachusetts Amherst Libraries and the Department of Communication
