Call for papers ? special issue International Journal Obs*
Networked belonging and networks of belonging

Convenors: Manuel José Damásio & Paula Cordeiro


The Task Force on Networked belonging and networks of belonging of  COST 
Action IS0906 invites abstract submissions for a special issue of the 
International Journal Obs* on networked media and spaces of interaction 
and participation. The group has broad interests in the role networked 
media play in the spheres of communication, interaction, mediation 
processes and identity. Networks represent a core set of resources in 
our society, while at the same time subjects are daily confronted with 
original forms of experience that call for our participation and 
involvement with networked supported practices. Networks though stand at 
the same time for the infrastructural form of media organization, a set 
of resources at the subjects? disposal and a manifestation of 
contemporary experience that impels relations to the center of 
subjectivity and identity.



We invite submissions on the following themes:



- What are the ways audiences interact with networks in the contexts of 
mobile access and provision of services?



- How does sense of belonging develop in function of networks models?


- What?s the implications networked based practices have for individual 
identity and privacy?



- How are networked media changing modes of participation and engagement 
for audiences?



- Do audiences use networked media to promote new forms of societal 
organization and cohesion?



- What forms of political and social organization, participation and 
engagement are emerging in Europe around networked media?



- How are traditional media (i.e television) converging to the networked 
environment in different European countries?



- Do mobile networks represent original social arrangements around networks?



- How are the roles of the producers and the consumer structured in 
networked media?
