building digital communities and new systems for digital cultural heritage,
I trust that YASMIN members may find the following Special CFP for the
upcoming Community Informatics Research Network (CIRN) conference being
held in Prato, Italy later this year of interest – apologies for
cross-posting.

Art as archive / Archive as Art
Community Informatics Research Network (CIRM) conference
25 27 October 2017
Monash University Prato Centre, Prato, Italy
There has long been discussion about the relationship between art and
archives, not just in the sense that archives may represent curated
collections relating to specific artists or forms of art, but that art may
be used to provide new conceptions of archival literacy by offering
different, even radical ways of thinking about the nature and meaning of
those collections. As part of the CIRN 2016 conference, we wish explore
this relationship from the perspective of Community Informatics or
Community Archiving.
What is Community Informatics?
Community Informatics is primarily concerned with improving the well-being
of people and their communities through more effective use of information
and communication technologies. Community-centric archival research,
education and practice are concerned with empowering communities in support
of such desirable objectives as democracy, human and civil rights,
self-determination, sustainable development, and social inclusion.
Recordkeeping and archiving are fundamental infrastructural components
supporting these objectives, and this year, we are particularly interested
in extending their discussion to new perspectives that raise the issue of
"open heritage" in the context of community engagement with cultural
archives or in expanding the role of archives, libraries and museums within
the community.
Special Call for Papers –
Internationally, museums, libraries, and archives are embracing open
movements. While openness, in itself, is not entirely new to these
institutions, what exactly does "open" mean for the role of cultural
institutions in the 21st century? Participatory, "open heritage" is
disruptive and points to the broader impact of information and
communication technologies on society. Through establishing infrastructure
to support digital cultural collaboration and open innovation, greater
access and engagement with cultural and historical collections is being
promoted. In many instances, artists are at the vanguard of such
developments.
There has long been discussion about the relationship between art and
archives, not just the conventional role of archives and collections and
their representation of artists or artworks, but in more provocative ways
that artists and other institutional "outsiders" can intervene with
archival collections to reveal new ways of seeing and thinking about the
nature and meaning of those collections. This year's special
Call-for-papers is seeking research that contributes to this "archival
turn" by exploring archives, the act of archiving and archival processes
from multiple, mixed perspectives.For more information, contact:
vince.dziekan@monash.edu
Submission Guidelines –
In addition to considering papers, works-in-progress, workshop proposals
and posters related to any aspect of Community Informatics, Development
Informatics or Community Archiving, for CIRN2017 we are seeking papers that
explore art and archives.
Additionally, we have a strong stream for research students in Masters and
PhD programs who may wish to present their work to an international
scholarly audience. We will consider traditional papers (refereed,
non-refereed), works in progress (working papers) as well as alternative
formats of communicating, presenting or displaying research relevant to the
conference themes.
Deadline for proposals: 9 June 2017
Notification of acceptance: 30 June 2017
Deadline for full papers: 31 July 2017
For more information, contact: prato2017@fastmail.fm
Submissions can be made online via the submission database: http://cirn.
