Call for Papers
SOCIOLOGIES OF CYBERSPACE
The board of the Virginia Review of Sociology invites the submission
of candidate chapters for a special volume titled "The Sociologies of
Cyberspace." This volume will address whether and to what extent cyberspace
represents, presents, or conduces social change of significance -- that is,
the manners in which and the degrees to which cyberspace is different from
other social arenas, and whether and how this is sociologically significant.
For purposes of this volume, we conceive cyberspace to include all forms of
computer-mediated and -enhanced communications and interactions.
We will give preference to those submissions that advance
methodological approaches to, explicitly account for empirical findings
about, and develop theoretical understandings of cyberspace. We are
particularly interested in papers that go beyond a psychological and
individualistic analysis, and particularly encourage those submissions that
make comparative use of several online services and/or social groups. We
hope to include a variety of empirical, methodological, and theoretical
approaches to cyberspace, and intend to emphasize the possible diversity of
such approaches.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to: patterns of social
life online, including demographic distributions as well as patterns of
social control, boundary enforcement, role enactment, community building,
resource allocation, and collective behavior; political, economic, and other
determinants of online social life; and political, economic, religious, and
other social consequences and implications of cyberspace, particularly
including interactions between online and offline social life.
Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate, printed in double
spacing on only one side of each page. Citations and references should
conform to that system prescribed by and for the American Journal of Sociology.
Submissions should have a target date of October 31, 1996. Any
acceptance of submissions beyond that date is at the discretion of the
volume editor. We would appreciate a brief notice of intent by September
30, 1996.
Comments and queries are welcomed and encouraged. For further
information, or to submit a paper, please contact the editor of the volume
J. Ellington ("Ellis") Godard, Cabell Hall 539, University of Virginia,
Charlottesville, Virginia 22903 (jeg5s@virginia.edu). The faculty advisor
for this volume will be Thomas M. Guterbock, and the series editor is Donald
Black.
The Virginia Review of Sociology is a series of volumes published by
JAI Press, and coordinated and edited by the graduate students and faculty
of Sociology at the University of Virginia. Each volume explores and
reflects current empirical and theoretical development within the field of
sociology. Themes of previous volumes have included law and conflict
management, and cultural conflict in modern America.
(Please post or forward this notice elsewhere, as appropriate, for open
distribution.)
