[Commlist] Call for Participants "Walking through the Platform" Winter School

We’re happy to announce the call for participation for the upcoming 
Winter School *“Walking through the Platform: A Winter School on Method, 
Imagination, and Praxis”*, which will take place in *Naples, Italy, from 
November 26th to 28th, 2025*.

Organized by the early scholars/ Game of Tech/ collective, and held in 
collaboration with the University of Naples Federico II and the 
Department of Social Sciences, the Winter School invites early-career 
researchers and doctoral students to reflect critically and creatively 
on digital platforms as technopolitical environments.

We aim to move beyond traditional binaries, such as natural/artificial, 
human/machine, compliance/resistance, and to explore platforms as 
ambivalent and affective terrains. This space of inquiry will combine 
methodological exploration, collective discussion, and artistic 
experimentation.

The three-day program will include keynote lectures, workshops, and 
collaborative sessions designed to foster an open, experimental, and 
situated research environment.

We invite PhD students, early-career researchers, artists, and 
independent scholars who are curious to explore:
▪ New ways of studying platform logics from the inside out
▪ Tactics of self-visibility and algorithmic resistance
▪ Critical and experimental applications of the walkthrough method
▪ Situated and post-disciplinary approaches to digital inquiry
▪ Artistic, speculative, and collaborative methodologies

The school will combine:

▪ Morning seminars with scholars and artists
▪ Afternoon workshops and platform walkthroughs
▪ Collective moments of methodological reflection
▪ Performative and artistic re-enactments
▪ Informal dialogues and co-theorization

*Deadline for applications: September 15th*
