Russian Cyberspace: Last Call for Submissions

[Ellen Rutten]

*Russian Cyberspace no 1 - **Last Call for Submissions*
Virtual Power: Russian Politics and the Internet

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 an aesthetic point
of view, or 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.

This message serves as a last call for submissions - the deadline for which
is August 15, 2008. For more information, please surf to

or contact the RC team.

Best regards,

The editors
