The document discusses John Perry Barlow's views on ideas, intellectual property, and the economy of ideas in the digital age. Some key points discussed include: (1) How digital technology allows ideas and intellectual property to be instantly distributed worldwide without cost; (2) The challenge this poses to protecting and monetizing creative works; (3) The idea that information wants to be free and spread; and (4) That familiarity and widespread distribution can increase, rather than decrease, the value of ideas and creative works. The document explores these issues over time from the 1990s to today.Authorship: Rhet/Comp Perspectives
Authorship: Rhet/Comp PerspectivesKrista Kennedy
油
This document discusses the history of intellectual property issues within the field of rhetoric and composition dating back to the 1960s. It addresses how scholars have long been attentive to legal and economic factors that impact their work and classrooms. Key topics that have been discussed include notions of authorship, the impact of changing technologies, and concerns about how restrictive copyright laws and corporate interests could negatively influence teaching and scholarship. The document also examines calls to reimagine writing and authorship in a way that values collaboration over individual ownership and promotes the growth of a shared cultural commons.Technological det visual

This document presents a collection of images from the 19th and 20th centuries depicting technological progress and advancement. Many of the images were created in the late 19th century and showcased new technologies like trains, telegraphs, and industry representing American progress. Later images from the 1950s-60s focus on new machinery, industrial processes, and computing representing continued technological determinism and faith in science and innovation improving society. The collection demonstrates an ideological belief in technology inevitably bettering society through industrialization and mechanization as depicted in popular culture over 100 years.18c Perspectives on Authorship, Part II

The document discusses the Statute of Anne, the first copyright law, passed in 1710 in England. It established copyright protection for published works for a renewable term of 14 years for new works and 21 years for existing works. The statute aimed to encourage learning by granting authors and booksellers property rights over copies of their published books. It provided remedies against copyright infringement including forfeiture and fines. The statute also required registration and deposit of copies with certain libraries. It did not include any provisions for censorship.Second Sophistic, Medieval, and Renaissance Views on Authorship
Second Sophistic, Medieval, and Renaissance Views on AuthorshipKrista Kennedy
油
The document discusses views on authorship from various historical periods:
1) During the Second Sophistic period (roughly 100-230 AD), authorship was seen as an inventional act focused on interpreting scriptures and embellishing sermons.
2) In the Middle Ages, invention influenced rhetorical theory, theology, and logic. Three new rhetorical arts also emerged: letter writing, preaching, and poetry.
3) During the Renaissance, debates reignited about the nature, purposes and epistemologies of invention. Scholars like Thomas Wilson and Francis Bacon discussed the role of invention and whether it belonged to rhetoric or logic.18c Perspectives on Authorship, Part III

Young was situated within 18th century book production culture, writing in multiple genres for patronage. His works were popular, being translated into 7 languages and having multiple editions, including an illustrated edition by William Blake. Young explores the concepts of genius, originality, and imitation in his piece "Conjectures on Original Composition." He compares original works to a blooming spring arising from a barren waste, while imitations have quicker growth but fainter bloom. Imitators build on others' foundations, while originals extend the boundaries of knowledge.Writing Effective Instructions

The document discusses how different styles of handwriting throughout history such as Secretary Hand, Tudor Chancery, Pipe Roll Hand, Spencerian, and Palmer Method were used as technologies of discipline and liberation. Certain handwriting styles indicated qualities of those using them based on cultural understandings of community values. Today, typing has replaced handwriting as the dominant form of written communication, so typing may also be able to indicate qualities and characteristics of individuals or groups.Edison and Technology, Day 1

The document discusses the history and development of computing technology from the 18th century onward. It touches on early encyclopedias and their view of knowledge as collectively produced and constantly evolving (Ephraim Chambers, 1734). It also discusses early pioneers in computing technology like Babbage, Lovelace and their proposed difference engine (1820s). Later sections discuss the development of digital networks from the mid-20th century onward including figures like Vannevar Bush and organizations like DARPA that advanced computing for both civilian and military uses. The document seeks to understand how cultural contexts and epistemological models have shaped the goals and development of computing technology over time.CCR 633: Smoking Typewriters

The document discusses the printing and distribution methods used by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in the 1960s to spread their ideas and advocate for social change. Specifically, it mentions how SDS utilized offset lithography, typewriters, mimeographs, paper, ink, carbon paper, and booksellers to inexpensively print pamphlets, newspapers, flyers and other materials. It notes that for just a few hundred dollars one could print thousands of copies of a publication. The document also briefly touches on concerns about privacy that arose from leaving written records of one's thoughts and activities.Programming and Minimalism: Lessons from Orwell and the Clash
Programming and Minimalism: Lessons from Orwell and the ClashJonathan Dahl
油
Programming is writing. A programmer's job is to express abstract ideas in a specific language - just like the poet, the essayist, and the composer. But while writers and composers spend years improving their style, many programmers think style stops with "two-space indentation". This needs to change.
This presentation will discuss style in music, writing, and software. We'll look at such diverse sources as George Orwell, Mozart, and punk music, and will find that much of art revolves around complexity and minimalism - just like software. Finally, we'll look at specific patterns and tools for writing software that is not just effective and efficient, but stylistically beautiful.Move that thang

The document discusses choreography of gestural interfaces and interaction design. It provides examples of gestures like tapping, dragging, and swiping on touchscreens. It emphasizes prototyping gestures by building and testing with users. Well-designed gestures are easily learned, map to natural behaviors, and consider both movement and the interactive surface.Authorship: Appropriation
Authorship: AppropriationKrista Kennedy
油
This document discusses copyright law and fair use principles regarding derivative works and appropriation art. It covers the purpose and nature of use, the amount of a work used, and the effect on the original work's potential market. While copyright aims to protect original works, some argue it should allow free access for creative expression. Courts have struggled to determine what constitutes parody or piracy in appropriation art that references or incorporates existing copyrighted works.The Copyright Thing Doesn't Work Here, 2

The document discusses issues around authorship, appropriation, and intellectual property rights regarding traditional Ghanaian kente and adinkra cloth. It addresses how these cloths have become regarded as both Asante and Ghanaian through long-standing practices of appropriation by states, groups, and individuals. It also discusses the multidirectional globalization process and the economic challenges less powerful groups and nations face when intellectual property becomes predominantly an economic issue that can impact livelihoods.The Copyright Thing Doesn't Work Here, Part 1

油
This document discusses authorship and ownership of traditional knowledge and cultural productions. It notes that while individual inspiration is recognized, control and ownership are often communal and built on contributions from past generations as well as cultural institutions. It argues that strategies for protecting traditional knowledge must acknowledge both individual and communal aspects of creation, and recognize that authorship is situated within temporal, cultural and gendered contexts of apprenticeship and collective production.Distributed Collaboration
Distributed CollaborationKrista Kennedy
油
The document discusses the concepts of distributed collaboration and commons-based peer production (CBPP). It provides three key requirements for successful peer production projects: 1) being modular and divisible into independently producible components, 2) having fine-grained modules to accommodate variously sized contributions, and 3) having low-cost integration mechanisms for quality control and assembly. CBPP depends on large numbers of individuals independently contributing small creative efforts which are then integrated. Successful systems have mechanisms for peer review. The document also discusses factors that enable CBPP, such as nonrivalrous knowledge goods, and incentives and motivations for participation.Authorship Seminar: Intellectual Property Basics

The document discusses the role and importance of signatures and authorship in various contexts. It touches on how signatures are used in law and institutions to determine ownership and validity. It also discusses the concept of auteurism in film and how directors are often constructed and marketed as the sole authors of films for commercial purposes. The discussion further explores how experts rely on notions of authentic authors and signatures to validate works, and how this impacts judgments of authenticity. The concept of fake works and forged signatures is also examined.Authorship Seminar: Bot-Written Texts

This document discusses bots writing texts and their level of agency and authorship. It explores whether bots can be considered authors, writers, or composers. Examples are given of bots fixing typos, adding facts, reverting vandalism, and performing other editing tasks on Wikipedia. Statistics provided indicate that for one article, 88% of the text was bot-generated and bots performed 21 out of 35 edits, suggesting bots can be highly productive wiki editors.Intellectual property basics

The document discusses intellectual property and copyright. It notes that all original creative works are automatically copyrighted upon creation. It describes what copyright gives the creator control over, including reproduction, derivatives, distribution, public performance, and digital transmission. The document outlines exceptions to copyright restrictions such as works in the public domain, fair use, Creative Commons, and GNU/Linux works. It provides guidance on determining what constitutes fair use based on factors like the purpose of the use, amount used, and commercial effects. The document also notes that modern authorship is often collaborative, distributed, and involves assembling preexisting information in new ways.Authorship: Digital and Database
Authorship: Digital and DatabaseKrista Kennedy
油
The document discusses authorship and metadata in digital contexts. It notes that anyone can be considered an author if publishing is defined narrowly, but not everyone can be a true Author. It also examines how readers interact with screen-based texts by actualizing possibilities rather than simply consuming. Additionally, it explores how user-generated metadata and data are appropriated by technology companies and treated as objective facts and unowned property separate from users' creative activities, neglecting the link between user data and user-generated content.Authorship: Feminist Perspectives
Authorship: Feminist PerspectivesKrista Kennedy
油
This document discusses feminist perspectives on authorship and textual ownership. It references several French feminist theorists including H辿l竪ne Cixous who advocated for "l'辿criture f辿minine" or feminine writing. Cixous believed that writing is inherently feminine and connected to the maternal body. The document also discusses how authorship has been viewed as a gendered concept with myths of solitary male authorship. Andrea Lunsford addresses how a feminist approach could reframe ideas of collaborative authorship and situated authority through interconnection rather than sole ownership.Social Bookmarking w/ Diigo
Social Bookmarking w/ DiigoKrista Kennedy
油
The document discusses tagging and social bookmarking as ways to organize and retrieve information. It notes that tagging is simple, flexible, and tags can be aggregated. A taxonomy is a formal classification system, while a folksonomy allows for bottom-up collaborative tagging by multiple users. Folksonomies allow for evolving terminology and viewpoints but can be messy. To simplify, tags should use basic lowercase terms without punctuation. There are four types of tags: descriptive, resource, ownership/source, and self-reference.Authorship belletristic modern

The document discusses various views on authorship, genius, and rhetoric from the 18th-19th centuries. It mentions that 18th century Scottish rhetoricians like Hugh Blair were more interested in how discourse appealed to taste and propriety rather than reasoning. The document also discusses Sharon Crowley's critique of 19th century assumptions that genius and successful composition depend on innate talents rather than teaching. Additionally, it covers views from various thinkers on invention, imagination, tradition, and the relationship between creativity and reality.Authorship 20c
Authorship 20cKrista Kennedy
油
The document discusses the evolving definition of an "author" in cultural and legal contexts. It notes that historically, being an author did not signify a high-status profession, but rather distinguished cultural labor from industrial labor. To be considered an author, work needed to be in approved mediums and show the imprint of the creator's personality. Over time, mass cultural works challenged this definition as they involved new technologies and collaborative labor. The essay argues we must analyze the relationships between culture and industry, and proposes considering authorship in terms of collective and responsible cultural labor rather than isolated genius.Basic project management

This document discusses information architecture and its key principles. Information architecture involves structuring, organizing and labeling information on websites in a logical way so that users can easily find and manage content. It is both an art and a science. The document emphasizes that websites are dynamic environments that evolve over time based on user needs and behaviors, not static constructs. Effective information architecture considers the context, content, and users of a particular system to design organizational structures and navigation that meet user needs.More Related Content
