Our research group in Argentina is studying new social and cultural practices of young people in social media in an urban context -in our case Rosario,a middle city with about 1.000.000 inhabitants. This panel is really interesting! Will we have access to the papers after the event? Will you publish them? We´d like to take part but, as you imagine, we can´t afford it, We are a public university. Thanks very much for sending us a piece of information about this panel of the Conference.

“I like” - Bridging online and offline social networks in urban space

 

It is almost impossible to think a contemporary, vibrant urban life without digital technologies: 24/7 online access due to the wide spread existence and economic availability of smart phones, Wireless Internet access in Cafes and Bars, the omnipresent use and talks about the online social network Facebook. People are taking pictures/videos with their smart phones and share them immediately with their friends. Google, Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook or other similar online Platforms are increasingly present wherever people share information with each other.   How does digital media use shape public face-to-face life in urban leisure settings? What role does digital technology play in people’s social worlds in cities? What impact do online social networks have on Real Life relationalities and the connectivity of the individual to the city? How does the use of digital technology change our thinking and perception of a city? Do digital technologies/ Online Social Networks, including Youtube, connect or disconnect people (e.g. organizing flashmobs via Facebook/ Youtube)? Do digital technologies in context of the city space encourage or discourage social interactions? The emphasis of this panel lies on looking at the influence of new media use/online social networks on face to face interactions in urban space as well as the change of perception in urban public spaces from multiple angles.

 

Topics welcomed, but not limited to:

·         conceptual frameworks for the analysis of spatial dimensions of online and offline social interactions

·         the impacts of New Media on the online/offline political and social participation in a city (e.g. flashmobs)

·         Methods discussion: Participant observation and theory of practice in context of new media use in urban public settings 

·

Social media effects are amazing in the developing world and its ability in creating relationships and its multifaceted utilities need to be explored. Good and timely idea to have a group on this area and I am happy to be a part of this community.

Just wanted to confirm that we will be editing a special issue of JCMC on organizations and social network sites, as a follow-up to our workshop on this topic at Communities and Technologies 2011.  The most up-to-date details on the workshop, now scheduled for June 30, 2011 in Brisbane, Australia, can be found on at this link: http://tc.msu.edu/orgsnsworkshop.  Plenty of time to get a paper in for the workshop:  extended abstracts due April 1, 2011, final papers, June 1.  We'll select the best papers and work with the authors to get them ready for the special issue of JCMC. Please consider submitting an extended abstract!
