[Bigdatasur] Call for chapters in Platform Regulation and Governance collection

[Fiona Martin]

Hi BigDataSur colleagues,

I’ve been reading and circulating the wonderful work on this list since we met in Colombia some years ago – and have a call for chapters in an edited collection that might interest some of you.

Terry Flew (QUT), Rosalie Gillett (QUT) and I have pitched a book proposal to Palgrave based on our ICA post conference, titled: ‘Digital Platform Regulation: Beyond Transparency and Openness’, which has just come back with great reviews.

The book explores new perspectives on digital platform regulation and governance – including public, private and hybrid approaches. We’re keen to develop comparative views on how digital platform regulation relates to the traditional media and communications policy frameworks, including the possibilities for regulation to benefit users, advocacy groups and traditional media industries. Authors are also drawing on insights from fields such as economics, political science and sociology to write about the nature of trust online, anti-competitive practices, and the relationship of platforms to technological innovation.

We have work from many parts of the world, but nothing yet from Latin America.

If you would like to contribute a chapter to the book, please do let me know in the next three weeks with a 300 word abstract. We intend to send the proposal to the publisher in early July. And at this stage, we anticipate that the final manuscript would be delivered to Palgrave by September 2021.

Kind regards,
Fiona

Subject: [Bigdatasur] BigDataSur WhatsApper-ing alone will not save Brazilian political disarray


Dear colleagues of BigDataSur,

I hope you are doing very well.

I am very proud to announce the publication of my new post: “WhatsApper-ing” alone will not save Brazilian political disarray: An investigation of the affordances of WhatsApp under Bolsonarism".

I am particularly happy to share the news with you all because we have fruitful and urgent discussion on the last mini-series about Brazil.

Share with your networks, please! I also translated to portuguese. Check it out: https://data-activism.net/2020/06/bigdatasur-whatsapper-ing-por-si-so-nao-salvara-a-desordem-politica-brasileira-uma-investigacao-das-possibilidades-do-whatsapp-sob-o-bolsonarismo/<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/BDm6CJyBrGf4YkRjCVrzCT?domain=data-activism.net/>

To be continued… with this publication, I want to start a much-needed conversation with all scholars, parctioners, activists and so on about the Brazilian political disarray.
