[ecrea] Call for papers Maker spaces / Nordic Journal of Information Studies and Cultural Communication

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Re: CfP Special issue on Maker spaces*

The Nordic Journal of Information Studies and Cultural Communication 
(NTIK) invites submissions that advance the research on makerspaces 
culture and design

Design processes are usually conceptualized in terms of creation of 
ideas, identification of problems, product constructions, discussion of 
concepts, society perspectives, etc. In educational and cultural 
institutions and in companies, makerspaces articulate an informal site 
for all the elements mentioned, i.e. for creative production promoting 
physical as well as digital activities, information sharing, and 
engagement with materials, processes, and ideas. A central theme is how 
makerspaces may give opportunities for exploring the boundaries between 
the physical and digital, between theoretical and practical knowledge, 
and between construction and mediation.  Studies on makerspaces 
contribute to research fields like ´participatory design´ and 
´user-involvement´ with relevance for both IT-development and changes in 
cultural as well as educational institutions.  Another central theme 
concerns how to establish co-creation understood as a process where 
digital technologies, materials, and the interests and knowledge of the 
participants mutual re-configure each other. We hope that this special 
issue on makerspace will raise important questions belonging to the 
field described.  We invite scholars to submit papers addressing topics 
that include, but are not limited to, the aforementioned themes.
