*VOLUME 12: ICTs and the Politics of Inclusion in Latin America
Guest Editors: Hernan Galperin, Alejandro Artopoulos, and Jason Beech
(Universidad de San Andrés, Argentina)*

This volume assembles relevant research focusing on ICTs in Latin
America. The mobile broadband revolution is taking place in Latin
America. Despite various constraints faced by Latin American countries,
the spread of mobile telephony and broadband Internet has reached very
high levels even among low-income populations. However about half of the
continent’s population remains unconnected, and the benefits of
connectivity have been slow to materialize. Submissions may examine any
aspect of the theme of digital divide in Latin America and the politics
of digital inclusion. We welcome submissions on different dimensions of
the theme such as mobile youth identities, technology affordability,
school transformation by digital media, the diffusion of e-commerce
platforms and digital technology in SMEs.

*VOLUME 13: Brazil: Media from the Country of the Future
Guest Editors: Sonia Virgínia Moreira (Universidade do Estado in Rio de
Janeiro), Monica Martinez (Universidade de Sorocaba, Reitoria), Joseph
D. Straubhaar (University of Texas at Austin), Antonio C. La Pastina
(University of Texas at Austin), Samantha Nogueira Joyce, and Pedro
Aguiar (State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Brazil)*

This volume assembles research on any aspect of Brazilian media and
communication in its various forms. The parameters are set as broadly as
possible as long as the research speaks to a facet of the topic as
defined in the call for submissions. Submissions may be empirical,
theoretical, or methodological--using any method or approach. The volume
aims to encompass research on emergent phenomena, as well as studies
with a historical or longitudinal dimension. Comparative studies are
welcome as long as Brazil is one of the central case studies.
