CFP: Media ecology

We were talking about technological determinism and how this related to the Media Ecology group. Here is the call for papers for next year in New York City. Note the December 15 deadline:

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Sixth Annual Convention of the Media Ecology Association
June 22-26, 2005

The Biases of Media

Media are often criticized for the biases of their content, but media
ecology is also concerned with the intellectual, emotional, temporal,
spatial, political, social, metaphysical, and epistemological biases
associated with different forms of communication and different types of
technology.

We welcome submissions relating to the convention theme, “The Biases of
Media,” as well as to any topic relevant to the field of media ecology.
Make us a proposal we can’t turn down, in whatever format best showcases
your submission, including complete papers, abstracts, proposals for
discussion panels and workshop sessions, and short film and video works.
Complete papers may be entered for the Top Paper Award or the Linda
Elson Scholar Award (for Top Student Paper). Please indicate award entry
on submissions.

    Let’s see if I can comment…Can we go if we don’t submit anything? This sounds super interesting.

    Yup, but the department won’t contribute to the costs. That said, I don’t know if this is official, but we may not have any more funding for student conference travel this semester. There is funding though, I believe, through the graduate student association.

    All that said, it’s usually best to have a paper when you go to these things. It’s kind of part of the process. You get to benefit from the comments of some really bright people, and often from a community of people who share your interests more precisely than you might find at home.
