Dear colleagues,

this mail is just to remind you about the IRIE Call for Papers on Global 
Citizenship (Guest Editor: Jared Bielby, Univ. of Alberta, Canada: 
bielby at ualberta.ca <mailto:bielby at ualberta.ca>)
http://www.i-r-i-e.net/call_for_papers_23.htm

Globalization via the digital age is upon us, demanding a new ethics and 
an intercultural awareness while the dialectics of globalism and 
cyberspace mandate a committed reflection on what the synthesis between 
the digital realm and global citizenship entails. In many ways, the 
borders that previously separated us as citizens physically and 
culturally have begun to dissipate, replaced by a call for an 
intercultural accountability and a form of global citizenship that, on 
one hand, surpasses borders, patriotism, and nationalism alike, but 
while on the other, demands an understanding and respect for the 
cultural idiosyncrasies among us, acknowledging the unique existential 
paradox of universal citizenship that posits each of us as both stranger 
and citizen on a commonly shared globe.

What is cosmopolitan in the digital age? Is a global digital citizen the 
same as merely a digital citizen? While talk of digital citizenship has 
increased in recent years, usually centered on a capitalist drive, 
encouraging a full electronic participation in society and a 
responsibility to digital commerce, many questions remain unanswered. Is 
the netizen the citizen of a democratic state, and of digital democracy? 
As a citizen of the world interacting online, how will one’s “rights” 
and “duties” be determined? And are these “rights” universal, and in 
such a case, what does “universal” mean? What are the legal parameters 
of netizenship, and what will they be as globalization further takes 
hold? Is democracy critical to citizenship, or is it not? What are the 
political landscapes of global citizenship in the digital age? And last 
of all, is the concept of digital citizenship even tangible? Is it real?

This issue of IRIE will explore the cultural and ethical dimensions of 
global citizenship in a digital age, looking at the implications, 
challenges and future of a digitally constructed globalization. We 
welcome the exploration of, while not restricting to, the following 
subject areas:

  * Defining “rights” and “duties” in terms of digital citizenship
  * Universal rights in the digital age
  * Intercultural perspectives on citizenship
  * Exploration of the digital divide in terms of citizenship
  * Borders and nationalism
  * Digital citizenship as defined by responsible use of technology
  * Governance, law and/or civil rights in terms of globalization
  * Ontology, identity and themes of belonging & alienation
  * Social justice in terms of cyberspace vs. “real” space
  * Global information flow and developing power structures


Deadline for extended abstracts: December 31, 2014.

Please, forward this mail to whom it may concern.

Best regards,

Rafael
