It is arranged in co-operation with the University of Turku and the IT University of Copenhagen, the UIAH Medialab, Helsinki, and partners in the digital content industry. The conference continues the series of international game studies conferences opened by Computer Games and Digital Textualities (Copenhagen, March 1-2, 2001). Deadline for proposals January 30, 2002 - --- :: --- Overview Computer games have rapidly become a significant and expanding field of entertainment industry and modern culture. The research and development of games has reached an important phase. Various conceptual and theoretical models to understand games and their working are being created, while the games themselves are growing into new dimensions with their online and multiplayer capabilities. The transition into the world of mobile gaming is creating even more challenges and further possibilities. The Computer Games and Digital Cultures conference offers a comprehensive view into the current state of digital games, and their research, as well as forums for interdisciplinary discussion. Conference includes presentations from leading experts, both from the academic research institutions and game industry, including the opening words by Espen Aarseth (University of Bergen), keynote presentations by Greg Costikyan (Unplugged Games, USA), Steven Poole (author of the "Trigger Happy", UK) and designer of games like Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Thief and Deus Ex, Warren Spector (Ionstorm, USA). Agenda Computer games have grown into an increasingly important cultural form, that has a profound impact on the way interactivity, digital aesthetics and online environments are currently understood. The conference will explore the aesthetic as well as narrative and structural issues of computer games, while also functioning as a bridge and intermediary between the academic research and professional gaming community. The approach of conference is interdisciplinary and comprehensive; the analysis of games and the gaming communities will advance the study of interactive media, create fruitful exchange of perspectives with the professional game developers, and further the development of digital culture. Workshops The CGDC has two parts, the first day consisting of workshops that explore the pragmatic and creative issues of games as a form of culture and industry. The participants can register for this day separately, or for the whole three-day conference. The participants may submit proposals for workshops, focusing on creative design processes, dynamics of gameplay in particular game types, or, e.g., issues related to technical implementation or economics of contemporary game projects. Workshops with an academic focus are also invited. The first day will also include keynote workshops, to be announced later. In addition, participants are encouraged to offer suggestions for topics for the panel discussions. Research Papers The second and third days are dedicated to the research papers dealing with games. Both specific analyses of games as a form of art and entertainment are welcome, as well as more general approaches dealing with the cultural practices related with games and social activities in online environments. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - design and analysis of games, - communication and community in relation to games, - online and mobile gaming. Since the aim of the CGDC is to foster dialogue between the game developer and researcher communities, organisers wish that even the more theoretical papers would include concrete examples or references to games or game-related practices. The paper and workshop proposals should be submitted in the form of abstracts by the end of January 2002. The deadline for full papers is April 8, 2002, and papers will be included in the printed conference publication. There is a half an hour time reserved for presenting each paper in the programme. The Conference Publication The publication including the conference proceedings will be delivered to the participants at the conference. Submission Format The proposal for a research paper should consist of an abstract of at least 1000 words. A short biography of the author should be included. The proposal for a workshop has no fixed format. Rather, innovative topics and creative working practices are encouraged. The workshop proposals should include a description of the topic, goals and methods applied in the workshop. The time available for a workshop process is either three hours (a half-day workshop), or seven hours (a full day workshop). A proposal should state which alternative it is describing. All proposals should be submitted through the online form at the CGDC web site.

"Statements on war" is a response to the war propaganda currently oozing out of every channel of the mainstream media. Within hours, any attempt of "objective" reporting had been smothered and was morally condemned as cold-hearted, or even pro-Osama. Yes. America is at war. The US has been at war for two centuries. America's wars, after the colonisation of the continent, have not taken place on its own territory, but on foreign land. >From Grenada to East Timor, over to Panama and Vietnam; from the Congo to Somalia, over Iraq to Colombia. You name it; they have been there, invading, in the words of George W. Bush "openly or covertly". A careful examination of US foreign policy history reveals over 234 self- declared overt military interventions and over 6000 covert interventions into at least one hundred countries, killing millions of innocent civilians. </italic>In the meanwhile the videotape "Statements on war" (33 minutes) has been shown in different places. We want to produce a second edition of Statements on war and want to invite everyone to make a film or video in the line of our viewpoint (see therefor the press release on www.vrijekeyser.nl/statementsonwar.html) as a contribution to the second edition of Statements on war. To inspire vereyone the first Statements on war can be viewed on the internet. Take a look on www.vrijekeyser.nl, the page with the videos is www.vrijekeyser.nl/onwar.html. It is necessary to install Real Player on your computer for viewing the films.

Cinema Nova has organised under the name « TV NOVA » regular public meetings with individuals and organisations active in the domain of independent television making. During the evening, the guests will present fragments of their work, their specific way of working and the constraints they are confronted with, followed by a debate with the audience. Cinema Nova proposes now to contribute to and participate in a meeting that involves independent televisions from Europe and outside. We target audio-visual media made by citizens, grass roots initiatives, independent local televisions, community based televisions, broadcast by cable, web, hertz or satellite. It seems important to us that these experiences from all over the world have a place and a space to meet. Very often, they might have heard of one another, but there's no structural communication amongst them, although they all share the same kind of experiences and problems. The idea is to create the necessary instruments for permanent exchange of information, films and/or images, and to create the necessary conditions to distribute on an international level. THE PROGRAM Thematic workshops Animated by participants whose projects or experiences are significant and remarkable… These workshops are moments of exchange and discussion around a specific theme, and can be followed by a more specific and practical workshop, depending on the participants’ propositions. (Starting at 2 p.m. – some of the contributors are to be confirmed) Wednesday 5/12: first meeting point Welcome and presentation of TV Nova and projects of all participants; this is the first collective contact. This afternoon permits to the participants to prepare the workshop. Thursday 6/12: "Other forms of media-activism" How to use video as a source of counter-information, as a mean of analysis and investigation in processes of participation and political decisions (civil empowerment) Axel Claes (PTTL / Brussels) and Mark Saunders (Spectacle / London) organise video workshops in a working class area in Brussels. They use video as mean of communication and as audio-visual base in local political decision-making, e.g. in urbanism development. Their work is a good example of audio-visual civil empowerment. Migra Media is a collective of immigrated women who use video to construct the image of migrants by deconstructing the image built up by mass media. They are connected with a local television station in Barcelona (Spain). Mark Saunders (Spectacle/Despite TV) gives a practical workshop about analysis of images of manifestations and other political actions. How to use these images (own images and/or media images) to give your own version of the facts? How to discover media manipulation? Friday 7/12: "Different ways of distribution of independent media" Distribution by VHS, Web TV, pirate television, distribution by hertz, new experiences by cable… Why this particular choice, what are the (practical) advantages and what are the consequences? Undercurrents (UK) are one of the first networks of video-activism who distributes their production world-wide on compilation tapes. Pirata (France) is a group of Marseille who literally pirate local television chains to distribute their own programs. Zalea TV (France) is an autonomous television that came out of experiences like Onde Sans Frontière and TV Bocal. They negotiated some months ago a temporarly licence for distributing on the cable. Saturday 8/12: "www: Web TV, free access, free software" What are the possibilities for independent media to construct a real web based work? Can web television be a new experience between local initiatives ? IndyMedia is an international network of media-activists who work locally on web. This experience started with the anti-globalisation movement in Seattle. The Journal Télévisé International des Quartiers presents its project that will use the web as a mean of putting together local experiences all over the world. Teletambores (Venezuela), Clot RTV (Barcelona), Maxambomba (Brazil) – local area television that shows their productions literally in the streets- and Catia TV. Sunday 9/12: conclusion and common projects Possibility to think about networking (How? What do we expect from it? How to finance…) video library and exchange of tapes There will be a space for viewing and exchanging participants' tapes. This will be permanent during the days of the TV Nova meeting. There will be possibility to exchange, to copy and to view the tapes…. Screenings, presentations and debates Every participant will have some time (and the cinema screen) during public moments in the evening. The different presentations will be followed by a discussion with the audience. The program is open and will be constructed following the propositions of the participants… Animations, concerts… Time to relax and to enjoy your stay in Brussels! PRACTICAL Inform us about what you do, what your domain of interest is, so we can include this into the meeting and the evening program… any suggestion is welcome! As you see, the program is still open to presentations and workshops. TV Nova provides space, time and possibility to meet, think, talk and work… but the meeting will be what participants propose and make of it! TN Nova meeting date: from 5 till 9 December 2001 place: Cinema Nova, 3 rue Arenberg, 1000 Brussels Contact: Cinema Nova: 00 32 2 511 24 77 Contact TV Nova: … and why wouldn’t you stay till 16 December ? ! >From 13 till 16 December : Summit of Leaken / radio project / street party and so much more ! The summit of Laeken marks the end of the Belgian presidency of the European Union. Important subjects will be discussed: definition of a fundamental European Rights, new members of the EU, public services and privatisation, asylum rights, co-operation and immigration, unemployment, education, police, justice…. To put it short and simple: these subjects are important for Europe’s future. But do we have anything to say in the decisions? Is the European Union an ivory tower that takes its decisions far away from democratic peoples movements and opinions? Are we aware of the consequences of European Unions policy? For all these reasons, the official summit will be preceded by a counter-summit by NGO’s on 7 and 8 December . There are also some manifestations on 13, 14 and 15 December by several organisations and collectives. To participate in these events means re-appropriation of word and public space… Extra ordinary security measures are announced for the Summit of Laeken. These measures mean a dangerous precedent that will create Brussels into a fort where people can't find their way anymore. One of the initiatives that will happen during the Summit is an "interim radio": « Radio BruXXel ». The idea is not to be an anti-European voice. It will give voice to initiatives and opinions that construct another Europe : open, without frontiers, based on equality and solidarity. Radio BruXXel will be in the air during 4 days (from 13 till 16 December) operating from Cinema Nova . Thanks to the frequencies of local radio stations (Panik, Campus, Air Libre and FM Bssl) and webstreaming, Radio BruXXel will be an open space with direct transmission where everybody can contribute. - -- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 23:32:05 +0100 From: Redaktion <response@i-love-u.ch> Subject: [i love u] future november 2001 http://www.i-love-u.ch http://www.i-love-u.tv To future-cat Night by night you mingle with my thoughts. Again and again it draws me to the window to look out for you and I do. Listening for your steps outside makes me feel you're close. Somewhere in the dark headlights draw near. I keep the door wide open and bright my room. What if you came along and didn't find me here? It is as if I've always known you, but nothing I ever thought you were. You're past recognition and my memory always fails. so I draw a picture on the wall of you, to force you here. And I spin around - - a vodoo dance might do, your music in my ear, feel a little fear - hear. Your rhythm - my longing grows and my mind goes still - you are here and gone real fast, in speed you disappear. No trace, nothing I ever thought you were, I will never know. But my door remains open and my arms the same, you'll sure come again. And while I wait, hemp helps through, it gives us some more time to spend - in honour of you.

It aims to shed light on the genesis and manifestations of evil as well as on the diverse angles from which humans can understand, tackle, surmount, or come to terms with it. Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness does not espouse any ideological viewpoint or favor any specific theoretical framework, but interrogates a plurality of perspectives aimed at advancing research on this topic. Submissions are sought for the June 2002 volume to be devoted entirely to the theme of terrorism. The volume hopes to present a panoply of possible angles from which to engage this timely topic. A wide array of relevant theoretical, critical and professional perspectives is, therefore, encouraged. Of most interest will be contributions that add to, alter and/or deepen, our current understanding of the phenomenon of terrorism. Topics may include: Labels and Definition(s) Binary thinking and cultural stereotypes in the discourse on terrorism Manichean visions of good and evil Clash of civilizations scenarios Leitmotifs, imagery and rhetoric in the political discourse on terrorism Globalized terror Jihad, Islamic fundamentalism and culture of shame Terrorism and Late Capitalism Gendering terrorism Cyber terrorism Virtual terrorism in film Terrorism in the media Religious/philosophical/historical/legal perspectives on terrorism Socio-political analysis of root causes For further details and information regarding this issue, please visit the journal website at: http://www.wickedness.net/ej.htm or contact Dr. Rob Fisher at theodicist@wickedness.net or Dr. Salwa Ghaly at sghaly@sharjah.ac.ae =========================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 10:21:28 +0100 From: rick@vrijekeyser.nl Subject: vrije keyser statements on war on the internet November 19, 2001 Vrije Keyser Television Message - Statements on war can be viewed on the internet The following two paragraphs we wrote in our press release to announce our program on Saturday 29 september 2001: and was morally condemned as cold-hearted, or even pro-Osama. cent civilians. ntsonwar.html) as a contribution to the second edition of Statements on war.
