>                         Call for Papers: 'collaborate'
>                  Edited by Donna Lee Brien and Axel Bruns
>
> Collaboration is a highly desirable and, increasingly, often a  
> mandated
> element in many modes of Australian (and international) research,  
> creative
> and business practice - and a factor on which successful and  
> innovative
> outcomes, as well as funding, often depend. In many cases, however,
> participants in collaborative projects have a limited understanding of
> collaboration (in theory and practice) beyond that of a general  
> concept,
> tossed about with nods of approval but rarely unpacked. In other  
> fields of
> DIY content production, from open source software development to  
> the large-
> scale distributed collaboration on projects such as the Wikipedia,
> collaboration often happens perhaps even more intuitively, but  
> nonetheless
> produces results which can usually stand up to serious professional
> scrutiny. So how, and why, do we collaborate?
>
> This issue of M/C Journal will feature case study articles from the  
> point
> of view of practitioners or researchers, innovative research about
> collaborative practice, examinations of authorship credits and  
> copyright
> issues in collaborative work, including collaborative interventions  
> like
> the creative commons, and wider insights into the apparent human  
> need for
> interaction, collaboration, and what World Wide Web inventor Tim  
> Berners-
> Lee has called 'intercreativity'. We are interested in best-practice
> examples of successful collaborations across communities, disciplines,
> media forms, space and time. We would like to build new definitions  
> and
> feature work on how the various stakeholders (individuals,  
> enthusiasts,
> artists, university/research institutions, industry & non-profit
> organisations) successfully find each other and build working  
> partnerships.
> Not all collaborative ventures are successful, however, and so we  
> are also
> calling for examinations of 'what went wrong' to make a useful  
> contribution
> to this issue.
