CALL FOR PAPERS
The Communication and Digital Culture Area of the Popular Culture Association is soliciting proposals for panels and individual papers that explore questions of mobility in a network society.
Recent data suggest that more than 50% of Americans now own a “smart phone,” and smart phones account for 2/3 of all new phone sales. What are the implications for American popular culture now that we are rapidly approaching market saturation? How does ready access to networked, digital resources continue to transform cultural practices? What are the implications for other developed and developing nations—and the digital diasporas connected through these devices?
Possible topics include:
- Citizen Journalism
- Mobile Identities
- Casual/Just in Time Gaming
- The “Network Society” Revisited
- Mobile Learning
- Media Demassification
- Mobile Youth
- New Economies of Mobility
- Privacy & “Little Brother”
- Convergence
Submit a 250-word proposal to the PCA Database.
