<div dir="ltr">Hi, everybody. <div><br></div><div>I am on the IEEE Annals board and just want to say that this special issue is a great and promising opportunity. Of course, I would *especially* love to see something on maintenance and business in there, but, you know, I'm biased . . . Here's the real dream: a history of computerized maintenance management software! A guy can dream, right?</div><div><br></div><div>But even if you don't have something maintenance related, please do consider pitching your work to this special issue. </div><div><br></div><div>Lee</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Apr 5, 2019 at 8:47 AM Kennedy, Devin <<a href="mailto:dkennedy@fas.harvard.edu">dkennedy@fas.harvard.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<i>IEEE Annals of the History of Computing</i> invites submissions for a special issue titled “Computing Capitalisms.” Edited by Gerardo Con Diaz (University of California, Davis) and Devin Kennedy (Harvard University), this special issue will showcase new
questions and methods in the business history of computing, broadly conceived.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Garamond">The history of computing has described the firms,
industries, and businesses that made and were remade by computing practices and technologies. Classic works in the business history of computing examined how firms invest in and foster new technologies; explored the long-term relationships between technology,
strategy, and structure in computing and telecommunications; and framed business as a key intermediary between technical developments and markets. Recent scholarship has opened promising new directions in the historical study of business and computing including:
the labor dimensions of programming, manufacturing, and content moderation; race and gender in the economic and social valuation of computing work; the material and environmental dependencies of computer industries; computer modeling in manufacturing and economic
planning; evolving business models in computer hardware, software, and services industries; the economic effects of digitalization and automation in finance, banking, and consumer credit; and the intersection of governments and private industry through intellectual
property law, data privacy regulation, trade policy, and state investments in infrastructure and computing businesses.<span style="color:rgb(74,134,232)"><u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Garamond">This special issue aims to highlight new directions
in the business history of computing through the theme of <i>computing capitalisms</i>. In engaging capitalisms, we are suggesting a broad view of business history that considers the political, legal, labor, environmental, material, and social conditions that
surround business and are shaped by it, while adding historical perspective to ongoing discussions of contemporary “data” “platform” or “surveillance” capitalism. We invite papers that draw on the history of computing and allied fields, including STS, labor
history, the history of capitalism, management studies, gender and race studies, media and game studies, and critical data and algorithm studies. We interpret the history of computing broadly and invite papers on any historical period and with any geographical
focus, and especially encourage those that consider computing’s global dimensions.
