Call for Papers – Neo-documentation Around the World: Global Developments

Posted August 20, 2015

In celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Documentation Studies (named Media- and Documentation Studies since 2013) at the University of Tromsø, we are publishing a special 2016 issue of the Proceedings from the Annual Meeting of the Document Academy (http://ideaexchange.uakron.edu/docam/), a peer-reviewed edition.

The theme for this call for papers is Neo-documentation Around the World: Global Developments. Possible topics should reflect the renewed interest in the theory and practice of the document concept, and discuss recent developments inside and outside the field, including discussions about recent developments that have influenced several disciplines during the last two decades like digitization and the material turn.  We welcome articles that question, test, and philosophize the role of the document and of documentation.

Articles can be submitted in English, and should be between 3,000 and 10,000 words. Deadline for submitting your article: February 15, 2016.

Any questions concerning the publication can be addressed to Kiersten F. Latham ([email protected]); Jodi L. Kearns ([email protected]); or Roswitha Skare ([email protected]).
