Deadline for manuscript submission: November 1 st , 2016 We invite research articles and notes that explore how we live with(in) digital technology, and we welcome texts from multiple disciplines and genres. Send manuscripts at  compaso@compaso.eu Our reality is visibly and invisibly transformed through digital technology.

Hidden Persuaders Blog  http://www.bbk.ac.uk/ hiddenpersuaders/blog/ The reputations of the ‘psy’ professions – and the status of their ideas – were altered by controversies, myths and testimonies about ‘brainwashing’ in its various guises during the Cold War. Our project uncovers new source materials and promotes original analyses of the involvement (real and perceived) of clinicians in brainwashing and its cognate practices of interrogation, psychological warfare, subliminal advertisement, and therapeutic experimentation. We consider what ethical guidelines and safeguards, past or present, have been formulated to deal with the dangers of mind control so powerfully articulated during the Cold War. By exploring these historical debates over mind control and their continuing legacies for psy expertise, Hidden Persuaders offers timely historical analysis of continuing present-day controversies. The language of ‘brainwashing’ continues to influence, in dive...
