Russian-cyberspace.org - new editorial team, first call for submissions

[Ellen Rutten]

Dear Colleagues,

Since January 2008, Russian-cyberspace.org - an academic website dedicated
to Russian Internet studies - has altered its profile and is run by a new
editorial team. We are happy to introduce the new profile, and to draw your
attention to a first call for submissions for our online journal.

Russian-cyberspace.org represents scholars from various disciplines,
including cultural and media studies, sociology, political science and
ethnology. It aims to analyze the development of the Russian-speaking
Internet within Russia, as well as its various Diasporas. Our main fields of
interest: net culture and literature, net politics and social networking,
media identities, and cultural hybridity.

The new Russian-cyberspace.org issues a blog -
http://russ-cyberspace.livejournal.com/ - which deals with recent events on
the Runet (politics, culture, literature). In addition, we actively
encourage colleagues working in the field of Russian Internet studies to
send in their articles for publication on the website. We intend to publish
thematic issues twice a year and would like to draw your attention to a call
for submissions for our first issue, titled *Virtual Power: Russian Politics
and the Internet*. For more information, please either click
