[ecrea] CFP: SAGE Handbook of Web History

CFP: SAGE Handbook of Web History

The web has now been with us for almost 25 years: new media is simply 
not that new anymore. It has developed to become an inherent part of our 
social, cultural, political, and social lives, and is accordingly 
leaving behind a detailed documentary record of society and events since 
the advent of widespread web archiving in 1996. These two key points lie 
at the heart of our in-preparation Handbook of Web History: that the 
history of the web itself needs to be studied, but also that its value 
as an incomparable historical record needs to be inquired as well. 
Within the last decade, considerable interest in the history of the Web 
has emerged. However, there is no comprehensive review of the field. 
Accordingly, our SAGE Handbook of Web History will provide an overview 
and point to future research directions.

The editors, Niels Brügger, Megan Sapnar Ankerson, and Ian Milligan, 
have over twenty-five chapters in preparation. However, there are a few 
areas where we are soliciting additional chapters to round out your 
handbook. The focus of the chapters needs to be on the subject of Web 
history.

* Business histories of the Web;
* Web governance;
* E-Literature or Web Art;
* History of online social media;
* Dot-com Start-ups
* Memes
* Hacking and Activism
* Video on the Web
* Asia and the Web

If you are interested, we are soliciting 300 - 500 word abstracts by 10 
October 2016. If you have any questions, or wish to discuss a potential 
submission, please e-mail us via Ian Milligan at (i2millig /at/ uwaterloo.ca) 
<mailto:(i2millig /at/ uwaterloo.ca)>. Final chapters will be a maximum of 
7,000 words and would be due by 1 March 2017.
