Résumé:
Digital communication and social media have taken over our lives. In this contrarian reflection on digitized life, Byung-Chul Han counters the cheerleaders for Twitter revolutions and Facebook activism by arguing that digital communication is in fact responsible for the disintegration of community and public space and is slowly eroding any possibility for real political action and meaningful political discourse. In the predigital, analog era, by the time an angry letter to the editor had been composed, mailed, and received, the immediate agitation had passed. Today, digital communication enables instantaneous, impulsive reaction, meant to express and stir up outrage on the spot. “The shitstorm,” writes Han, ”represents an authentic phenomenon of digital communication.” Meanwhile, the public, the senders and receivers of these communications have become a digital swarm—not a mass, or a crowd, or Negri and Hardt’s antiquated notion of a “multitude,” but a set of isolated individuals incapable of forming a “we,” incapable of calling dominant power relations into question, incapable of formulating a future because of an obsession with the present. The digital swarm is a fragmented entity that can focus on individual persons only in order to make them an object of scandal. Han, one of the most widely read philosophers in Europe today, describes a society in which information has overrun thought, in which the same algorithms are employed by Facebook, the stock market, and the intelligence services. Democracy is under threat because digital communication has made freedom and control indistinguishable. Big Brother has been succeeded by Big Data.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.

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.

Meantime however, the marketing of social relations, the dissolution of the private sphere, and the dominance of commercial actors are being perceived as a problem that demands an active interdisciplinary discourse. Media scientists and artists reflect here on that unease and present perspectives on and ways out of the excessive demands on users by way of the most recent research and artistic experiments. This book brings together essays and provides insight into the international group exhibition featuring works by Olia Lialina, Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud, and Benjamin Grosser, among others.
