>> *About the talk: *
>>
>> Pandemics such as H1N1 influenza are global outbreaks of infectious
>> disease. Human behavior, social contact networks, and pandemics are closely
>> intertwined. The ordinary behavior and daily activities of individuals
>> create varied and dense social interactions that are characteristic of
>> modern urban societies. They provide a perfect fabric for rapid,
>> uncontrolled disease propagation. During the course of an epidemic,
>> individuals and institutions modify their normal behavior based on their
>> perceived severity and risk. The resulting co-evolution of individual and
>> collective behaviors, contact networks and epidemics must be taken into
>> account while designing effective planning and response strategies.
>>
>> Recent advances in high performance pervasive computing and big data have
>> created new opportunities for collecting, integrating, analyzing and
>> accessing information about evolving social interactions. The advances in
>> network and information science that build on this new capability provide
>> entirely new ways for reasoning and controlling epidemics.
>>
>> In this talk I will overview of the state of the art in computational
>> networked epidemiology with an emphasis on computational thinking and high
>> performance computing oriented decision-support environments to support
>> planning and response in the event of pandemics. I will describe our
>> approach within the context of a specific recent application: modeling to
>> support Ebola Outbreak Response in West Africa.

>> Much of mySociety?s work is only possible thanks to generous funding

>>
>> Today, we are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a major

>>
>> This is the third time we?ve been supported by Omidyar Network, and

>>
>> Being supported by Omidyar Network means more than just vital

>>
>> In addition to this, we will continue to maintain and grow the network

>> http://bit.ly/poplus - federation.
>>
>> It?s a tough goal, and one that will require even more from the

>>
>> Is communication technology conducive to collective violence? Recent
>> studies have provided conflicting answers to the same question. While some
>> see the introduction of cellular communication as a contributing factor to
>> civil conflict in Africa (Pierskalla and Hollenbach APSR 2013), others
>> ascribe an opposite effect to mobile communications in Iraq (Shapiro and
>> Weidmann IO forthcoming). During the talk, I will further explore the logic
>> behind "Why the revolution will not be tweeted", and argue that the answer
>> lies in contagion processes of collective action at the periphery, not the
>> hierarchical schemes of central coordination as was argued before. To
>> provide evidence, I will draw on historical accounts of social revolutions,
>> a GIS study of the Syrian Civil War, a convenience survey sample from the
>> 2011 Egyptian Revolution, as well as network experiments of collective
>> risk-taking in a controlled setting.

>>
>> Rationale
>>
>> Civil society?s role in furthering democratization and the development of a public sphere has long attracted scholars whose work has traced the historical roots of civil society in China and celebrated its emergence offline and online. While decades of economic reforms have empowered myriad civil society organizations, volatile contention has arisen among social groups along ideological, class, ethnic, racial and regional fault lines. Uncivil exchanges, amplified by the Internet and social media, often work at cross purposes and fail to produce consensus or solutions to public problems. These disputes, and the underlying social/political/cultural schisms, threaten to undermine constructive citizen engagement and the promise of civil society in China. They also challenge the notion of a unified civil society standing in solidarity against a monolithic, authoritarian state.
>>
>> Consider the following examples:
>>
>> o The Internet flame war between Han Han and Fang Zhouzi that delegitimized the notion of ?public intellectual? in China
>>
>> o Left-Right debate amongst China?s intellectual communities that spill over into street brawls
>>
>> o Vigilantism and breaches of privacy (i.e. instances of ?human flesh search engine? and the Guo Meimei Red Cross scandal)
>>
>> o Online conflicts between ?haves? and ?have-nots? amidst extreme inequality
>>
>> o Virtual contention between Han and ethnic minorities over the status of Tibet and Xinjiang
>>
>> o Racial discourse on mixed-race Chinese and immigrants
>>
>> o Clashes over Taiwan?s ?sunflower movement? expressed on the Internet
>>
>> o Divergent online opinions about the ?umbrella movement? in Hong Kong
>>
>> This special issue invites contributors to unpack the multilayered, multidimensional reality and contradictions that define the Chinese Internet, focusing on the big-picture ramifications of online contention. With a population of nearly 650 million, Chinese Internet users are more diverse than the tech-savvy, liberal elites who first went online two decades ago. The groups active online today include politically conservative, nationalistic, apathetic, and even reactionary individuals. They also evince complicated attitudes towards the state, business and other demographic segments. The complex make-up of Chinese civil society and the nature of its self-representation thus challenge, on the one hand, an idealized notion of civil society that is independent from the private sphere, government and business, and on the other, the implicit assumption prevalent in Chinese Internet studies of a liberal subject demanding social justice, media freedom and political reform.
>>
>> Questions for contributors:
>>
>> o What are the characteristics of Chinese civil society? What is its potential or limitations? Does the proliferation of the Internet in China necessarily empower civil society in China? Is the opposite possible?
>>
>> o Is civil society always civil? Can it be uncivil, fractious and even reactionary? How does the Chinese Internet amplify or mitigate (un)civil tendencies? To what extent is online public debate or collective action becoming more fragmentary, working at cross purposes, or resulting in ?echo chamber? effects and polarization? Do nationalistic, jingoistic and even reactionary forces overwhelm and dominate ?civil? discourse?
>>
>> o Are the ?uncivil? tendencies of the Chinese Internet inevitable in a society composed of increasingly diverse groups? To what extent do commercial and state institutions influence uncivil tendencies online through intervention or even manipulation? What roles do powerful Internet businesses and elite personalities play?
>>
>> o Under what circumstances might incivility online prove advantageous for political or social change?
>>
>> o What evidence do we have for (un)civil society in China? Examples might include the formation of informal groups and formal organizations, discourses, and their intersection with collective action, social movements, and other social behavior.
>>
>> Contributions to this special issue will map a spectrum of key actors, issues, and orientations of a contentious civil society that has been submerged under a larger body of research on China and established democracies that assume state-society confrontation and fail to explore intra-societal tensions. Collectively, the contributions promise to produce a theoretically-interesting and empirically rich body of work that expands and deepens Chinese Internet research dominated by work focused on such topics as Chinese Internet censorship and propaganda, online activism, civic associations, deliberation and online culture. Insights generated from this special issue will in turn inform and advance research on civil society by debating its essence and examining the conditions conducive or unfavorable to its growth, with implications going beyond China. Although contributions will emphasize what polarizes Chinese society and sometimes seem to tear it apart, we welcome contributions that a
> na
>> lyze the prospects for rising above incivility, bridging sociopolitical schisms, and building consensus without compromising self-expression and personal security.
>>
>>
>> Affiliated Conference
>>

>> Critical Media Sociology Today
>>
>> We live in times of ongoing crisis, the extension and intensification of
>> inequalities concerning class, gender, and race, a return of the
>> importance of the economy and political economy, a lack of imaginations
>> of alternatives to neo-liberalism and capitalism, an intensification of
>> right-wing extremism and fascism all over Europe, a lack of visions and

>> conducted by conservative and far-right parties, and law and
>> order-politics. Left-wing movements and parties have in some countries
>> emerged or been strengthened, but the crisis has overall brought a
>> further political shift towards the right and an intensification of
>> capitalism and inequality.
>>
>> We today require politically a renewal of the Left. For critical media
>> sociology this means that it needs to ask questions, theorise, and
>> conduct critical analysis of media and communications in the context of
>> capitalism, class, ideologies, racism, fascism, right-wing extremism,
>> gender, state power, activism and social movements, challenges for

>> In this talk, Marisol Sandoval presents her recent book ?From Corporate
>> to Social Media: Critical Perspectives on Corporate Social
>> Responsibility in Media and Communication Industries?, Routledge 2014,
>> http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415722568/
>>
>> The corporate and the social are crucial themes of our times. In the
>> first decade of the twenty-first century, both individual lives and
>> society were shaped by capitalist crisis and the rise of social media.
>> But what marks the distinctively social character of "social media"? And
>> how does it relate to the wider social and economic context of
>> contemporary capitalism? The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility
>> (CSR) is based on the idea that a socially responsible capitalism is
>> possible; this suggests that capitalist media corporations can not only
>> enable social interaction and cooperation but also be socially responsible.?
>>
>> This presentation provides a critical and provocative perspective on
>> Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in media and communication
>> industries. It examines both the academic discourse on CSR and actual
>> corporate practices in the media sector, offering a double critique that
>> reveals contradictions between corporate interests and social
>> responsibilities. Marisol Sandoval?s political economic analysis of
>> Apple, AT&T, Google, HP, Microsoft, News Corp, The Walt Disney Company
>> and Vivendi shows that media and communication in the twenty-first
>> century are confronted with fundamental social responsibility challenges.
>>
>> ?From software patents and intellectual property rights to privacy on
>> the Internet, from working conditions in electronics manufacturing to
>> hidden flows of eWaste ? Marisol Sandoval?s book encourages the reader
>> to explore the multifaceted social (ir)responsibilities that shape
>> commercial media landscapes today. It makes a compelling argument for
>> thinking beyond the corporate in order to envision and bring about truly
>> social media.
>>
>> Marisol Sandoval is a lecturer at City University London?s Department of
>> Culture and Creative Industries. Her research critically deals with
>> questions of power, responsibility, commodification, exploitation,
>> ideology and resistance in the global culture industries. She is
>> co-editor of the collected volumes Internet and Surveillance (2012,
>> http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415633642/), Critique, Social
