                         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.

Send all enquiries and articles of 1000-1500 words to the editors at
collaborate@journal.media-culture.org.au.

Article deadline:     6 March 2006

Issue release date:   3 May 2006
