CfP: Virtual Power: Russian Politics and the Internet (Russian Cyberspace)
Is the Internet in Russia a political factor of 'real' significance? Or do the countless websites, journals and blogs simulate rather than stimulate political activity and decision making? The objective of this special issue is to examine the relationship between Russian politics and new media, especially the Internet. Russian Cyberspace seeks contributions that explore this complex relationship in a historical perspective, reflect on the representation of major political events of 2007-08 on the web, examine the discourse of power from the aesthetic point of view, investigate the role of grassroots media in voicing independent views and the reaction of the state to the developments in Russian cyberspace.
Academic entries in English, German or Russian and/or submissions in other genres, styles and form, reflecting the nature of the medium, by scholars, politicians, artists and cultural practitioners are welcome and will be considered for publication.
For text-based contributions, please follow the guidelines http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/russ-cyb/project/en/Russian_Cyberspace_Sty

If your compressed media file exceeds 20Mbs, or if you wish to include a different file format, please contact the editors.
