Call for Papers
Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture* (hosted by the 4th

http://www.icommons.org/isummit08/commons-research/. Please do circulate
this call among your colleagues and forward to relevant institutions.
Note that the research workshop follows a different timeline and a

long as they relate to the workshop themes.
From the website:
*First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture
*Hosted at the fourth annual iSummit, 29 July –1 August, 2008, Sapporo,
Japan
With submission deadline: 26 April, 2008
The First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture presents a
unique opportunity for scholars with various backgrounds, whose work
contributes to the promotion or study of an emerging Free Culture, to
present their research work to a multidisciplinary audience of academic
peers and practitioners. It will be held in conjunction with the fourth
iSummit, one of the largest annual events for the Free Culture and
related movements. Our aim is to provide a platform for scholars to
communicate their findings to an audience that extends beyond individual
disciplines because we believe that the wider participation in the
creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of
our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative
legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore
deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry.
The focus of the workshop will be on the presentation and critique of
work in progress, and with the inclusion of both academic researchers
and practitioners, so as to produce a holistic perspective on the future
of a more participative, open and free information society. Workshop
participants will have the chance to present their work at an event
which attracts some of the world’s foremost thinkers on the future of
the Internet, as well as practitioners, technologists, activists and
artists who help shape that future.
