Dear specialists and professionals in electronic publishing,
On behalf of the Programme Committee, I would like you to participate as a
contributor to the 8th ELPUB conference that will be hosted in June 2004 by
the Department of Information Science at the University of Brasilia
(West-central Brazil), a beautiful city which is part of the world's
cultural heritage.
This 8th ELPUB conference will keep the tradition of the seven previous
international conferences on electronic publishing, held in the United
Kingdom (in 1997 and 2001), Hungary (1998), Sweden (1999), Russia (2000),
the Czech Republic (2002) and Portugal (2003), which is to bring together
researchers, lecturers, developers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, managers,
users and all those interested on issues regarding electronic publishing in
widely differing contexts.
These include the human, cultural, economic, social, scientific,
technological, legal, commercial and all other relevant aspects that such
an exciting theme encompasses.
Elpub 2004 offers a variety of activities, such as workshops, tutorials,
panel debates etc. So, the conference will bring about opportunities for
attendants to participate in a number of activities.
We think that you're knowledge would be appreciated by the ELPUB delegates
and therefore I repeat my invitation to submit a paper, a tutorial theme or
a demonstration. Papers will be reviewed by an international team of
specialists. The call for papers with all details has been attached to this
email. If for any reason the attachment to this mail is not accessible, you
will find it also at:

CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth International Conference on
CULTURAL ATTITUDES TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION
(CATaC'04)
27 June-1 July 2004
Karlstad University, Sweden
www.it.murdoch.edu.au/catac/
Conference theme:
Off the shelf or from the ground up?
ICTs and cultural marginalization, homogenization or hybridization
The biennial CATaC conference series provides a continuously expanding
international forum for the presentation and discussion of current research
on how diverse cultural attitudes shape the implementation and use of
information and communication technologies (ICTs). The conference series
brings together scholars from around the globe who provide diverse
perspectives, both in terms of the specific culture(s) they highlight in
their presentations and discussions, and in terms of the discipline(s)
through which they approach the conference theme. The first conference in
the series was held in London in 1998, the second in Perth in 2000, and the
third in Montreal in 2002.
Beginning with our first conference in 1998, the CATaC conferences
have highlighted theoretical and praxis-oriented scholarship and research
from all parts of the globe, including Asia, Africa, and the Middle-East.
The conferences focus especially on people and communities at the developing
edges of ICT diffusion, including indigenous peoples and those outside the
English-speaking world.
Understanding the role of culture in how far minority and/or indigenous
cultural groups may succeed - or fail - in taking up ICTs designed for a
majority culture is obviously crucial to the moral and political imperative
of designing ICTs in ways that will not simply reinforce such groups'
marginalization. What is the role of culture in the development of ICTs
"from the ground up" - beginning with the local culture and conditions -
rather than assuming dominant "off the shelf" technologies are appropriate?
Are the empowering potentials of ICTs successfully exploited among minority
and indigenous groups, and/or do they rather engender cultural
marginalization, cultural homogenization or cultural hybridization?
Original full papers (especially those which connect theoretical frameworks
with specific examples of cultural values, practices, etc.) and short papers
(e.g. describing current research projects and preliminary results) are
invited.
Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to:
- Culture: theory and praxis
- Culture and economy
- Alternative models for ICT diffusion
- Role of governments and activists in culture, technology and communication
- ICTs and cultural hybridity
- ICTs and intercultural communication
- Culture, communication and e-learning
Our conference themes provide a range of approaches to the questions raised.
In addition, CATaC'04 will feature two particular foci, each chaired by a
distinguished colleague who will oversee paper review and development of the
final panels.
