Volume 2 of the International Handbook of Internet
Research (editors Jeremy Hunsinger, Lisbeth Klastrup, and Matthew Allen)
Abstracts due June 1 2014; full chapters due Sept. 1 2015
After the remarkable success of the first International
Handbook of Internet Research (2010), Springer has contracted with its editors
to produce a second volume. This new volume will be arranged in three sections,
that address one of three different aspects of internet research: foundations,
futures, and critiques. Each of these meta-themes will have its own section of
the new handbook.
Foundations will approach a method, a theory, a
perspective, a topic or field that has been and is still a location of
significant internet research. These chapters will engage with the current and
historical scholarly literature through extended reviews and also as a way of
developing insights into the internet and internet research. Futures will
engage with the directions the field of internet research might take over the
next five years. These chapters will engage current methods, topics,
perspectives, or fields that will expand and re-invent the field of internet
research, particularly in light of emerging social and technological trends.
The material for these chapters will define the topic they describe within the
framework of internet research so that it can be understand as a place of future
inquiry. Critique chapters will define and develop critical positions in the
field of internet research. They can engage a theoretical perspective, a
methodological perspective, a historical trend or topic in internet research
and provide a critical perspective. These chapters might also define one type
of critical perspective, tradition, or field in the field of internet research.
We value the way in which this call for papers will
itself shape the contents, themes, and coverage of the Handbook. We encourage
potential authors to present abstracts that will consolidate current internet
research, critically analyse its directions past and future, and re-invent the
field for the decade to come. Contributions about the internet and internet
research are sought from scholars in any discipline, and from many points of
view. We therefore invite internet researchers working within the fields of
communication, culture, politics, sociology, law and privacy, aesthetics, games
and play, surveillance and mobility, amongst others, to consider contributing
to the volume.
