EditorsGaby David, Universit&#233; Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris 3 and Amparo Lasen, Universidad Complutense of MadridArgumentShame is an ordinary affect, a key emotion regarding sociability and social orderings, as it is elicited by the fear of disconnection from our actual social bonds or the ones we aspire to be part of. It is a mode of affecting and being affected that shapes and mobilizes ordinary experiences and relationships, and it is narrowly linked to social orderings and social structuration and exclusion processes. Shame points to how norms are fixed, maintained and challenged, to what is appropriate and what is not, who is appropriate and who isn&#8217;t. Shaming others, a common online practice is also a way of reinforcing these same social orderings and senses.In this issue, we would like to explore how shame, shaming, and embarrassment are involved in the production of disquiets, vulnerabilities and exclusions in mediated intimacies and gender choreographies sustained and deployed through the convergence of camera phones, social networks, and mobile apps. Contemporary online visual practices are haunted by shame. As our mobile visual performances and exposure make us run the risk of becoming inappropriate and make our becoming risky when we are already deemed as inappropriate.We aim at analyzing concepts such as visibility, public and private, the digital modulation of presence and of intimacy, shame and share, and its relations to normativity, surveillance, and sousveillance. In times of data mining and Artificial Intelligence, reflections on the epistemology of coupled values such as &#8216;sharing and shaming&#8217; must be on the research agenda. Awareness and analysis of the sharing-shaming duo surely contribute to the understanding of digital practices and habits. In theoretical, methodological and ethical approaches, this special issue does not seek to describe the benefits, motivations and/or risks on why banal everyday life mobile vernacular images should remain private and/or public but interrogate both the situations behind these vernacular mobile imagery sharing when shame is elicited, as well as when individual or collective shaming initiatives arise in response to such images.Personal and/or collective decisions to share private content or be ashamed of doing so, have multiple and complex and interrelated correlations. We encourage contributions from diverse fields that may include (but are not limited to) visual sociology, digital ethnography, fine art, gender studies, internet studies, mobile studies, cultural studies, pop culture, and game/play studies.Tambi&#233;n estamos pensando en editar un n&#250;mero especial en espa&#241;ol sobre esta misma tem&#225;tica, para una revista acad&#233;mica espa&#241;ola o latinoamericana, si est&#225;is interesadas/os, por favor poneos en contacto con nosotras.Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:Share and shame: Theories, concepts, and methodsHistories of particular Internet shame-share storiesAnalysis of the implications of shame share histories for international and global discussions of Internet histories, forms, and futures.Case studies of shame, sharing and online visual practicesCo-evolution of sharing, shaming and Internet technologyGender performances and choreographies related to shame and online shamingRace, shame and online shamingMediated sexualitiesHistoriographies of cyber shame, cyberslutting, online bullying, racism, sexism.Mobile Internet, mobile apps, share, and shameDigital cultures, memes, humor, and ironyShame, values and online social imaginariesInternet celebrity, shame, and shareShamelessnessPorn, share, and shameSubmission guidelinesIf you are interested in contributing to this special issue, please send an abstract (300 words)by 4 March 2020.Abstracts should be sent to one of the two editors, Amparo Lasen (alasen@ucm.es) Gaby David (championnet4@yahoo.fr).
