Expanding the frontiers of hacking. Bio-punks, open hardware, and
hackerspaces
Special issue of Critical Studies in Peer Production
Edited by: Johan Söderberg and Alessandro Delfanti
Extended deadline: July 20

During the past two decades, hacking has chiefly been associated with
software development. This is now changing as new walks of life are being
explored with a hacker mindset, thus bringing back to memory the origin of
hacking in hardware development. Now as then, the hacker is characterised by
an active approach to technology, undaunted by hierarchies and established
knowledge, and finally a commitment to sharing information freely. In this
special issue of Critical Studies in Peer Production, we will investigate
how these ideas and practices are spreading. Two cases which have caught
much attention in recent years are open hardware development and garage
biology. The creation of hacker/maker-spaces in many cities around the world
has provided an infrastructure facilitating this development.

We are looking for both empirical and theoretical contributions which
critically engage with this new phenomenon. Every kind of activity which
relates to hacking is potentially of interest. Some theoretical questions
which might be discussed in the light of this development include, but are
not restricted to, the politics of hacking, the role of lay expertise, how
the line between the community and markets is negotiated, how development
projects are managed, and the legal implications of these practices. We
welcome contributions from all the social sciences, including science &
technology studies, design and art-practices, anthropology, legal studies,
etc.

Interested authors should submit an abstract of 500 words by July 20, 2011.
Authors of accepted papers will be notified by July 31. All papers will be
subject to peer review before being published. Abstracts should be sent to
delfanti at sissa.it

Critical Studies in Peer Production (CSPP) is a new open access, online
journal that focuses on the implications of peer production for social
change. http://cspp.oekonux.org
