Call for submission

Virtual Power: Russian Politics and the Internet

http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/russ-cyb/library/texts/en/journal/journal_1.htm


Is the Internet in Russia a political factor of ‘real’ significance? Or
do the countless websites, journals and blogs simulate rather than
stimulate political activity and decision making? The objective of this
special issue is to examine the relationship between Russian politics
and new media, especially the Internet. Russian Cyberspace seeks
contributions that explore this complex relationship in a historical
perspective, reflect on the representation of major political events of
2007-08 on the web, examine the discourse of power from the aesthetic
point of view, or investigate the role of grassroots media in voicing
independent views and the reaction of the state to the developments in
Russian cyberspace.

Academic entries in English, German or Russian and/or submissions in
other genres, styles and form, reflecting the nature of the medium, by
scholars, politicians, artists and cultural practitioners are welcome
and will be considered for publication.

The deadline for submissions is 15 August 2008.

	  	For /text-based contributions/, please follow the guidelines
<http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/russ-cyb/project/en/Russian_Cyberspace_Style_Guide.pdf>.

	  	/Visual and audio contributions/ should be submitted as RealPlayer,
MP3 and Quicktime formats; they should be submitted ready-compressed at
the desired quality, suitable for streaming at broadband speeds. Smaller
files can be sent via email. Larger file sizes need to be provided on
CD-ROMs or as downloads from a web/ftp server. If your compressed media
file exceeds 20Mbs, or if you wish to include a different file format,
please contact the editors.
	  	I/mages/ should be submitted as JPGs, 72dpi resolution, at 1000+
pixels width/height (whichever is bigger).

When submitting your work, please include the following information: a
biographical statement of no more than 150 words and a short
abstract/description of the submission (or the first paragraph of the
essay if appropriate).

The contributors are responsible for obtaining and securing copyright
permission for any submitted material. Russian Cyberspace is not
responsible for any materials submitted without copyright permission.

The deadline for submissions is 15 August 2008.

For submissions and further inquiries, please write to the Russian
