Summary:
In this publication, Paul Dourish examines the specific materialities that certain digital objects exhibit. He presents four case studies: emulation, the creation of a “virtual” computer inside another; digital spreadsheets and their role in organizational practice; relational databases and the issue of “the databaseable”; and the evolution of digital networking and the(...)

Summary:
In 1944, Britain led the world in electronic computing. By 1974, the British computer industry was all but extinct. What happened in the intervening thirty years holds lessons for all postindustrial superpowers.

Summary:
In 1944, Britain led the world in electronic computing. By 1974, the British computer industry was all but extinct. What happened in the intervening thirty years holds lessons for all postindustrial superpowers. As Britain struggled to use technology to retain its global power, the nation’s inability to manage its technical labor force hobbled its transition into the information age. In "Programmed inequality", Marie Hicks explores the story of labor feminization and gendered technocracy that undercut British efforts to computerize. That failure sprang from the government’s systematic neglect of its largest trained technical workforce simply because they were women. Women were a hidden engine of growth in high technology from World War II to the 1960s. As computing experienced a gender flip, becoming male-identified in the 1960s and 1970s, labor problems grew into structural ones and gender discrimination caused the nation’s largest computer user—the civil service and sprawling public sector—to make decisions that were disastrous for the British computer industry and the nation as a whole.

To the bureaucrat, archives contain little more than garbage, paperwork no longer needed; to the historian, on the other hand, the archive’s content stands as a quasi-objective correlative of the “living” past.

To the bureaucrat, archives contain little more than garbage, paperwork no longer needed; to the historian, on the other hand, the archive’s content stands as a quasi-objective correlative of the “living” past. Twentieth-century art made use of the archive in a variety of ways—from what Spieker calls Marcel Duchamp’s “anemic archive” of readymades and El Lissitzky’s Demonstration Rooms to the compilations of photographs made by such postwar artists as Susan Hiller and Gerhard Richter. In "The big archive", Sven Spieker investigates the archive—as both bureaucratic institution and index of evolving attitudes toward contingent time in science and art—and finds it to be a crucible of twentieth-century modernism.

Summary:
From Greek and Roman times to the digital era, the library has remained central to knowledge, scholarship, and the imagination. The Meaning of the Library is a generously illustrated examination of this key institution of Western culture. Tracing what the library has meant since its beginning, examining how its significance has shifted, and pondering its importance in the twenty-first century, notable contributors—including the Librarian of Congress and the former executive director of the HathiTrust—present a cultural history of the library. In an informative introduction, Alice Crawford sets out the book's purpose and scope, and an international array of scholars, librarians, writers, and critics offer vivid perspectives about the library through their chosen fields. The Meaning of the Library will appeal to all who are interested in this vital institution's heritage and ongoing legacy.

Summary:
Aaron Swartz était programmeur informatique, essayiste, organisateur politique, et hacker-activiste américain. Adolescent, il était déjà un libre penseur, un programmeur, un écrivain et un militant profondément engagé en faveur de l’accès libre et gratuit à l’information contribuant au bien du public. Élevé dans la banlieue riche de Chicago, il atteint la majorité alors que la bataille relative au téléchargement illégal de musique bat son plein. Il devancera à cette occasion grand nombre des questions encore débattues aujourd’hui. Harcelé par le FBI suite au procès attenté à son égard, Aaron Swartz connaît une fin tragique en mettant fin à ses jours à l’âge de 26 ans alors qu’il faisait face à l’opposition entre son idéal de « free culture » et les lois relatives à la propriété intellectuelle aux États-Unis. Étant donné la terrible brièveté de son audacieuse vie intellectuelle "Celui qui pourrait changer le monde" est une remarquable et substantielle collection de ses écrits (articles, essais, conférences), qui soulignent la pluralité des intérêts du jeune homme, de son amour pour le code, à son idéal d’un monde collaboratif et virtuel. On y découvre un personnage curieux de tout, drôle, brillant, radical et visionnaire, mais aussi plein d’autodérision. Le livre est divisé en six chapitres, suivant ses centres d’intérêts : la culture libre, tout d’abord, les ordinateurs, la politique, les media, les livres et la culture et enfin l’éducation. Ses différents combats (pour la culture libre notamment, qui se politisèrent à la fin de sa vie) sont enracinés dans la croyance qu’accéder à la connaissance et la possibilité de l’utiliser constitue le meilleur moyen d’empowerment et de justice. L’activisme multi-facette de Swartz inclue l’orchestration de pétitions massives en ligne contre les lois relatives au droit d’auteur et la lutte contre le piratage. Swartz a également écrit avec passion sur les livres (Kafka et David Foster font partis de ses favoris), les magazines, les films, la musique et l’éducation.

Intrigued by the evocative relationship between technologies of inscription and psychic processes, Derrida offers for the first time a major statement on the pervasive impact of electronic media, particularly e-mail, which threaten to transform the entire public and private space of humanity. Plying this rich material with characteristic virtuosity, Derrida constructs a synergistic reading of archives and archiving, both provocative and compelling.

Summary:
“The revolution will be Twittered!” declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran. But as journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov argues in The Net Delusion, the Internet is a tool that both revolutionaries and authoritarian governments can use. For all of the talk in the West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder—not easier—to promote democracy. Marshalling a compelling set of case studies, The Net Delusion shows why the cyber-utopian stance that the Internet is inherently liberating is wrong, and how ambitious and seemingly noble initiatives like the promotion of “Internet freedom” are misguided and, on occasion, harmful.
