[Air-L] ECREA Pre-conference on ‘Algorithmic Antagonisms' CfP Extended to 27 June

[Luke H]

Dear Colleagues,

A brief reminder that our call for submissions for the ECREA pre-conference on ‘Algorithmic Antagonisms: Towards agonistic dialogues”  remains open! The pre-conference will take place on 18 October (full-day). The event will be hybrid, with some participants at Aarhus University’s campus and others participating online.

We will warmly accept abstracts for an extra week, until June 27 23.59 CEST

This symposium gathers activists, artists, and academics who are antagonising society with algorithms. The focus here on algorithmic antagonisms is not meant to only comment on being oppressed by algorithms, or resisting their power, but show what happens when energy is put into leveraging a tactical algorithmic politics within societies that are increasingly algorithmically governed. Together, we will explore and reflect on algorithms’ antagonistic and tactical uses as part of the larger normative project of critical data/algorithm studies. More information around the framing of the pre-conference symposium can be found here:
