CfP: Book on Online virality

The book /Online Virality,/ edited by Valérie Schafer and Fred Pailler 
within the frame of the HIVI Project (https://hivi.uni.lu 
<https://hivi.uni.lu/>), aims to focus on the many ways we may think 
about online virality, historicise it and analyse the circulation, 
reception, evolution of viral born-digital content. Virality, 
information circulation and content sharing always intertwine a 
heterogeneous arrangement of material, infrastructural, practical, 
visual and discursive elements. This involves several infrastructures 
and platforms, various stakeholders, intermediaries, social groups and 
communities that (re)define themselves constantly, some regulation, 
curation and content moderation policies, affects and emotions (fears, 
humor, empathies, hatreds…), etc.

The book will offer an interdisciplinary overview on online virality by 
including three main types of chapters: analysis of corpora and case 
studies, methodological approach, and historical and socio-technical 
analysis. Diachronic and historical approach are very welcome.

The book will be published in open access and as a print version in the 
/Digital History and Hermeneutics Collection/ by De Gruyter 
(https://www.degruyter.com/serial/sdhh-b/html 
<https://www.degruyter.com/serial/sdhh-b/html>).
