Final formatted papers (for conference proceedings): 18 April 2014 > > Background. > Our 1998 conference on ?Culture, Technology, and Communication? (CATaC) was > among the first devoted to the roles of culturally-variable norms, > practices, and communicative preferences in the designs, implementations, > and responses to (networked) information and communication technologies. > While certainly successful in academic terms (including publications and > conference ranking by the Australian Research Council as among the top 20% > of conferences in these domains), what became a biennial series has also > been marked as a critical but collegial conference culture that > provides a unique oasis for participants who share often radically > interdisciplinary interests. (AoIR-ists will feel right at home!) > Much has changed, of course, since 1998 - including the "mainstreaming" > of > our signature focus on culture as inextricably interwoven with ICTs. > Accordingly, CaTaC'14 will be a transformational conference - one that will > explore new, robustly interdisciplinary ways of attending to the > intersections of culture, technology, and communication in critical but > cordial fashion. We aim to both celebrate the people and accomplishments of > the past conference series, and to transform the conference series through > development of new research, directions and approaches. > > We invite both participation in the opening Doctoral Colloquium and paper > and panel submissions that address the intersections between culture, > technology, and communication with a focus on either Design/Production or > Practice (see descriptions below). > > Doctoral Colloquium: PhD students will present and collaboratively discuss > their current work, and enjoy advice and mentoring from senior faculty > across the disciplines represented at CaTaC?14 ? including informatics and > design, communication and media studies, among others (Monday morning, June > 16, 8.30-12.00). > > Conference tracks. We invite research, reflection, and scholarship > that specifically address one or more of our defining elements of culture, > technology, and communication ? while simultaneously exploring the > interrelationship(s) between these.? ?More particularly, we invite > submissions that do so through focusing on either Design/Production or > Practice. (For a much more extensive description of the tracks and their > threads, please see the conference website.) > > Design/Production > For this track, we invite individual papers and panels that look at how > technical, cultural and communication affordances and constraints intersect > in the production of technology, messages and theory construction.

(Satomi Sugiyama, chair). > * Trans-mediated and intelligent workplaces: implications for work analysis > and interaction design > * Technology Design: Politics and ethics > * Legal and ethical issues > * Research Design and Theory Development > > Practice > We invite individual submissions and panels that have the use of information > and communication technologies in specific cultural contexts as their main > focus.
