Please share -- In recognition of the very real challenges many of our colleagues in the Gulf states may be experiencing in the wake of the recent wave of catastrophic storms, the editors have decided to extend the deadline for the Kairos Ownership, Authorship, and Copyright special issue until September 22, 2017. Please direct proposal submissions or queries to: kairo...@gmail.com.

Best wishes to all those affected,

Karen

Kairos is a peer-reviewed, academic, open-access, online journal. Scholars represent their research using a mixture of written text, audio files, video clips, or other technologies ("webtexts").

 

This special issue of Kairos revisits questions highlighted in a 1998 special issue on Copyright, Plagiarism, and Intellectual Property; investigates changes in issues of ownership, authorship, and copyright in the past 20 years; and anticipates future problems and opportunities for scholars and students.  

 

Since that 1998 special issue, much has changed. Our technological landscape has been transformed—with the emergence of social networking tools, systems, and spaces—and it has become mobile—with the seeming ubiquity of smartphones, apps, wearables, and wireless hubs. Our multimodal composing ecology has expanded, both in terms of production tools (like Apple iMovie) and in terms of publication spaces (like YouTube). Our pedagogical resources have grown, not only those seeking to increase formal efficiency (such as course-management systems), but also those supporting informal learning (such as infotainment videos, podcasts, makerspaces, and museum websites). As new technologies and ways to use them have emerged, so have new issues involving ownership, authorship, and copyright.

 

We seek contributions that speak to where we are now as scholars with deep engagement in contemporary questions of ownership, authorship, and copyright.  We seek work that takes full advantage of Kairos’s long history as an Internet-based journal, to engage with these questions in ways that might not be possible in print contexts. Above all, we seek contributions that will engage, provoke, and challenge our colleagues as they navigate ownership, authorship, and copyright in increasingly complex composing spaces.

 

We seek submissions for the following sections of the journal: Topoi, Praxis, PraxisWiki, Reviews, and Interviews. Please consult the Kairos submission page for descriptions. Queries to the guest editors are welcome.

General Guidelines:

• Please consult the general submission guidelines, particularly regarding supported technologies.

 

• Kairos can accept most web-ready file formats. (Check with the guest editors if you are unsure.) Please keep in mind that this excludes word-processed documents.

 

• We prefer URLs of webtexts for review purposes. If you do not have access to open or password-protected webspace, please contact the guest editors in advance of the submission deadline to arrange alternate means of delivery.

 

 

Submission Deadline (Proposals): September 15, 2017

Contact the guest editors with a proposal via email. (Subject line: “KOACSI submission: YOUR-NAME”.)  The proposal should include a 1-2 paragraph explanation of the webtext’s topic and argument; a 1-2 paragraph description of the webtext’s structure and design (including a URL and/or mockup images, if authors wish); a list of associated technologies that will be incorporated (consult general Kairos guidelines re: which technologies are supported); and a brief annotated bibliography.  Authors will receive confirmation of submission, via email, within 2-3 days.

 

Publication Timeline:

Notification of acceptances of proposals: October 15, 2017

Full webtexts due: February 1, 2018
