New Issue: Issue 22 Trolls and the Negative Space of the Internet

We have a habit (becoming a running quip), in the FCJ management group, of proclaiming that we feel we’ve turned a corner with the launch of each new issue. Speaking personally, I think I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that each issue presents a unexpected series of corners and that the act of negotiating them continually makes and remakes the journal. Each time we think we have the circuit well mapped out, documented and with all contingency accounted for, some unexpected challenge emerges. As we progress through the production of coming issues I will remind myself that in the end, the remarkable distributed effort that goes into publishing, all of it volunteered, inevitably results in a substantial contribution in the theory and analysis of media and technical cultures. Moreover, I will remind myself that, in the determination to make that contribution, and in the drive to realise it,…

A Quiet Period and a Vital Future

In 2013 The Fibreculture Journal celebrated its 10th year in operation. It was, for the most part, a year of self-assessment, rebuilding and rejuvenation as we welcomed a new editorial team and dealt with a number of outstanding legal and organisational hurdles – all of which, I am glad to report, we have almost cleared. We have also worked hard to bring you a new issue FCJ: Issue 22 Trolls and the Negative Space of the Internet which has (as all issues do) presented a new set of challenges and asked important questions regarding the act of online publishing, criticism and analysis, and the dynamic of online discourse. We collectively thank the issue editors, reviewers and contributors for their patience as we worked through a lengthy period of review and development. Upload of that issue has been temporarily delayed as we await for one final legal clearance but it should…

Speculating on Utopia: A Fibreculture Journal Launch and Workshop.

24th September 2012. 12.30 launch with workshop following from 1-4pm.   Speculating on Utopia: A Fibreculture Journal and Workshop – Invite PDF To celebrate the launch of Issue 20 of The Fibreculture Journal “Networked Utopias and Speculative Futures” we invite you to a workshop gathering to explore the themes raised by the Issue (twenty.fibreculturejournal.org) and to engage those themes in open speculation and provocation regarding the possible futures and future directions for FCJ after 10 Years and 20 Issues of open access publishing and networked research creation. Between the recently published Networked Utopias and Speculative Futures (2012) issue and the forthcoming Trolls issue  (Submissions Open) there is a rich uniquely fibrecultural vein concerned with the politics, desires and dynamics of network culture, creation, and community. Join us in a get together of fibrecultural thinkers, past, present and future to work through these dynamics and the creative/disruptive potential they describe. Location:…

Where to Next?

We’re very happy to be publishing FCJ 20, the Network Utopias issue. It’s a fine issue. With a great deal of subtlety and force, it pulls apart the notion of network utopia, while leaving a great deal of room for what it is that networks truly give us. There’s been an enormous amount of work done by guest editors Su Ballard, Zita Joyce and Lizzie Muller—careful and demanding work. The CFP received a huge response, and Su, Zita and Lizzie have done a wonderful job crafting the issue that we now publish. FCJ wants to warmly thank everyone who submitted abstracts and articles during this process. Of course, we could not publish all the articles we received, and this has often been a cause for genuine sadness at times, but hope the ideas that didn’t make it through the long and complex process of editing this issue find a home…

The Ubiquity Issue

The Ubiquity Issue Fibreculture Journal 19 deals with ubiquitous or pervasive computing, and with the recently emerged ambience of information. The issue details practices involving pervasive computing, both everyday practices and new art or dynamic architectural forms. Alongside these more practical concerns, the issue thinks through and with ubiquity. It takes ubiquity as something that has already arrived, something of immediate and increasing power. Simply put, ubiquity, by nature, is something with which we more often have to negotiate. Ubiquity’s ambiguous powers and possible futures also become key concerns. Finally, several articles consider the way that ubiquity might lead us to reconsider not only our past relationship to computing, but perhaps the very nature of computing and the human, vis a vis each other. The issue was edited by Ulrik Ekman. Articles include; Ulrik Ekman’s comprehensive introduction to the issues and ideas that move through ubiquity; Mette Ramsgard Thomsen and…

Trans Issue

It is now perhaps a commonplace that digital, networked and informational media are extremely transient. They diversify in form and function at a dizzying rate. At the same time, they transit and fuse “social” and “natural” differences in a manner which reconfigures all the worlds involved. It is also perhaps a commonplace to suggest that some established powers have found it difficult to come to grips with this (although this is perhaps beginning to change). For many, from seriously challenged newspaper proprietors to established media disciplines, it might be time to pause for breath, if only for a moment—to regroup and adapt established practices and ideas, to count the survivors from among the old media worlds of just a few years ago. While occasionally sympathetic, issue 18 of the Fibreculture Journal questions this approach. If we pause for breath, it is to take in the new air. This issue draws…

Some Happy Changes

It is with great happiness that we launch the new site for the Fibreculture Journal. Many thanks to Mat Wall-Smith, our Journal Manager, for setting up this far more flexible platform. It’s been an enormous amount of work, but it’s been worth it. With this platform, we hope to foster a more complex and rewarding engagement between the journal, our readers and our authors. We also hope to challenge the nature of all three. It is perhaps fitting then in many ways that our first issue on this new platform is the Counterplay issue, edited by Michael Dieter and Tom Apperley. This issue takes up ‘unruly innovation’ as ‘an intrinsic dimension of gaming’. It analyses ‘the contingent and transformative dynamics unleashed by games’. We hope you’ll join with us at the Fibreculture Journal—read, write, and think with us. We hope you’ll join with us not only via our extensive collection…

Journal News: Dec 2009

The Fibreculture Journal ends 2009 on a high note. The launch of FCJ-Issue 15: What Now? : The Imprecise and Disagreeable Aesthetics of Remix edited by Darren Tofts (Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne) and Christian McCrea (Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne) makes a fitting finale for the original Fibreculture Journal website. The Journal’s next issue will launch on this new publishing system on a new url: fibreculturejournal.org. Issue 15 is a dynamic issue requiring an attention to detail in terms of layout, and an ability to mix media, that would have provided a challenge in the most agile of content management systems. On that note FCJ owes Lisa Gye, the person responsible for nearly single-handedly ‘hand-coding’ the site and managing the Fibreculture Journal for so many years (not to mention contributing content),  much more than the simple gratitude we have to offer. The epic task of transferring over a 100…
