Re: [Air-L] Understanding Social Media

Hi Kayla, I teach a course in social media and, like Marj, find that it is really difficult to cover all of the related topics. I organize the course around four 'themes': privacy, copyright, digital inclusion and political participation. Last semester, I used Mandiberg's Social Media Reader as a source of foundational material--good material for a grad student course. But I also have found it neccessary to supplement quite a bit with additional readings. I am happy to share my syllabus off-list if it would be helpful. Kindest regards, Kelly Quinn -- Kelly Quinn, PhD Visiting Assistant Professor Department of Communication University of Illinois at Chicago

I am grateful this discussion was started because when I received my rejection I was quite frustrated. This was not because my co-author and I were rejected but because the first two reviewers commented on similar strengths and weaknesses, and the third reviewer interrogated our "short paper" line by line (often with snide and passive aggressive remarks), but did not get the point the paper was trying to make. This third reviewer also scored us over 40 points less than the others. This then made me wonder whether there is an accountability to reviewer management? I've never encountered such a review of my work before (whether for a conference or publication). There were many points made in regard to this topic about wanting to encourage speculative and experimental work that showcases rigour but cannot be confined to "data findings" and "sample methods" etc. Our paper was heavily theoretical and trying to push the discourse of Internet Studies in fairly speculative ways that still had a clear object of inquiry. We may have failed at this, but a snide line by line commentary is not helpful to us, especially as young PhD scholars. I'm very much on board with Terri's creative writing workshop that she proposed at the end of her keynote last year because some of us definitely struggle with academic writing. Alas I won't be going to Denver but hopefully there will be another opportunity because writing skills are *not* taught at the graduate level and this doesn't make sense to me.

All the best, Pelin A Report on the Situation in Turkey Irfan Erdogan, erdogan.irfan(a)gmail.com, http://irfanerdogan.com/ I am writing this to inform you that people in over 65 cities of 81 in Turkey are demonstrating against the reactionary and oppressive regime of Tayyip Erdogan and his party. We have demonstrations even in the most reactionary cities in Turkey. People in every neighborhood in the cities are on the street. Police throw gas bombs at demonstrators, beat and arrest people. It is not like in the late 1960s, because people did not care about us much then. We students were demonstrating for independence and socialism then. Now everybody is on the street. Nobody cheered when we were demonstrating in the late 60s in Turkey. Now people are cheering and supporting the demonstrators. Today we have more people on the street in my neighborhood in Ankara than yesterday. Police are shooting gas bombs inside the houses because people are providing shelter for demonstrators who are escaping from gas and police beatings. Youngsters and people from every walk of life are on the street and want the Erdogan government to resign. Erdogan uses the classic rhetoric about demonstrators and he threatens them by saying that he can send one million supporters to the street (he means, to smash the demonstrations). He says: "I keep 50 percent of the population at home" (he means that he can use 50 percent of people who support him against the other people). His mindset and approach reminds me of Jay Gould who said once that he is not worried about demonstrations and labor strikes, because he can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half. For a lot of people, Erdogan is a reactionary dictator. In Turkey people are scared to say something against Erdogan. Television did not provide any news about the demonstrations except the television stations of the major opposition party and Turkish Labor party television, because mainstream media either support the administration or are scared of Erdogan's rage/wrath. People in Istanbul walked in front of the major television stations and announced that if they do not feature them in the news they will occupy the TV station. Then, TV stations started reporting, but in a highly distorted manner. After this incident, very few media personnel resigned from their posts in the TV channel. Erdogan scolded the Reuters journalist who dared to ask him a question that he did not like. The Internet is used for the most effective channel of communication and organization of the protests by everybody. Erdogan expressed his utmost anger against Twitter and social media. Everybody uses their mobile phone for communication and recording the events and putting/disseminating them on the Internet. Mainstream media started lying as usual. Two main labor unions in Turkey run by those who ask some meaningless concessions from the government try to stop workers to demonstrate, but workers are on the street, too. Demonstrations are rapidly spreading all over the country. Soon, I know, religious reactionaries (not all religious people are reactionary) will attack demonstrators. There is a high probability that we will witness a domestic/civil war in Turkey. I was at the center of the demonstrations in Ankara yesterday and the day before. Demonstrators do not do anything wrong, but police continuously shoot pressured water, gas and noise bombs at them and attack demonstrators. Police behave like they are fighting an enemy. They curse at and threaten people by e.g. saying: "get lost otherwise we arrest you and you know what we do when we arrest you." We know there are some progressive and conscientious people in the police force, but they are also under the threat of the empire of fear. But we will see a differing police behavior as the time goes by in the process. Now, there is an indiscriminate uss of gas bombs (CS gas). Your eyes get severely burned and you cannot breathe, you start coughing, and you feel dizzy if you are close to the fume. Also when it hits you or blows up beside you, you get shocked (I saw it). So far we have four killings and many wounded. As usual, they claim that demonstrators/provocateurs destroy and vandalize everything around. Yes we see a lot of destruction; in fact, it is started and done by plain-cloth police. How do I know: (1) this is a historical fact. (2) I know from the late 60s, because we could recognize the police then, but it is difficult to recognize them now. (3) How come there is no vandalism, destruction and terror where there is no police around? Here are few examples: I attend demonstrations at the center of the city where police provokes, attacks and where plain cloth police destroys everything aroun,d provoking some young people to do the same. My daughter and my wife and neighbors attend huge demonstrations in our neighborhood where there is no police presence yet: You can see no violence, no destruction and no vandalism in these demonstrations. -- Dr. Pelin ?ZT?RK G??MEN (PhD in Graphic Design Education) Gazi University, Turkey http://websitem.gazi.edu.tr/pgocmen * * *?evreyi korumak i?in, gerekmedik?e bu e-postay? yazd?rmay?n.* Please consider the environment before printing this email. ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 17:14:03 +0200 From: ypd(a)gmx.net To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] LINK GEZIPARK Message-ID: <8504A19E-76C3-417F-8FFA-37BD5C478225(a)gmx.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii http://gezipark.nadir.org/index_tur.html http://gezipark.nadir.org/index_eng.html THIS MUST FUNCTION ! ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 09:29:00 -0700 From: Alexander Halavais <halavais(a)gmail.com> To: AoIR-L <air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org> Subject: [Air-L] Welcoming our New Executive Committee Message-ID: <CAKxz=uC3OJ1sMprmMscoRBomOvbUuNxR1BGj_Z4u_g3JMAPNoA(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Voting has now concluded for our next AoIR Executive Committee.

You can download it here: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/onlife-manifesto Now what we want to do is to try to engage a lot of people with these ideas and see if we can translate ideas (such as an online bill of rights!) into reality.

Future of Copyright Contest 2.0
by Marcin Wilkowski 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Dear All, if you're interested in actual copyright issues please look on this annoucement: deadline for submissions is 1st July 2013: It's hard to find a person who is pleased with the current shape of the copyright system. In most countries. People who attempt to earn a living from this system also try to have digital monitoring systems work for them. Meanwhile, users are have less and less rights. "Lady with an Ermine" is laughing about our battle to use her image (see below). The public domain is shrinking. There are some efforts to expropriate some of its areas. Therefore, user's rights are tightened. There are new proposals on the table that focus on finding a way to narrow fair use and to cut proposed exceptions for unprivileged people (impaired or just living in Global South). Therefore, once again we ask the following question: what should a good copyright system look like? Is it possible to live without sharing? Will artists dissapear if we make copyright less strict? Can we make culture without artists? Last year we received inspiring voices from people all over the world. You can find them in the PDF format or in EPUB and MOBI at http://nowoczesnapolska.org.pl/2012/05/24/future-of-copyright-contest-winne…. Let us also remind you all that the winner of first edition was Aymeric Mansoux and his work Morphology of copyright tale. We collected over 1000 USD (twice as much as what we asked for). We dare to hope that this year will be at least as big a success as last year. This is a crowdfounded contest for the best work about the future of copyright. The idea is simple: * You set the prize by supporting this project via http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/future-of-copyright-contest-2-0 * People submit their works for the contest. The deadline is 1st July 2013. * Independent jury consisting of Mike Linksvayer (part-time Senior Fellow at Creative Commons), Joe McNamee (Executive Director od EDRi) and Jérémie Zimmermann (spokesperson and co-founder of the La Quadrature du Net) and Jarosław Lipszyc (Modern Poland Foundation, contest organizer) chooses the winner. The decision wil be announced on 24th July 2013. * The winner gets the prize. Society gets a number of fresh proposals that will help shaping up the copyright system of tomorrow. The higher the prize is, the more exposure our cause will receive. The more people will participate in this debate, the more works on Future of Copyright will be created. Contest This is simple. If you want to take part in the contest, publish the work on the Internet and mail us at contest(a)nowoczesnapolska.org.pl. Just follow these general rules: 1. On topic The work may be of any kind (text, video, audio) and of any genre (i.e. legal analisys, dystopian or utopian story, educational video - sky is the limit here), but it must address the general subject of the Future of Copyright. Your work has to be in English or you need to provide an English translation. 2. Limited size The size of the work is limited to 15,000 characters for text or 10 minutes for audio and video. 3. New and original We accept only original works prepared specially for this contest. You must have all the rights to the work. Team work is acceptable. If your work is a remix, you need to provide the source for the works you re-used. 4. Free license The work must be published under the CC BY-SA 3.0 license. Your work must visibly licensed as such in the place of first publication. 5. Properly tagged The work must be tagged with the text: "This work takes part in the Future of Copyright Contest" and a link to page http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/future-of-copyright-contest-2-0. If you have any questions or doubts about the rules, just mail us at contest(a)nowoczesnapolska.org.pl. Prize Exactly half of the money raised on http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/future-of-copyright-contest-2-0 goes to the winner (or winners, if the prize is split). The other half will be spent on perks and sending copies of the best works to people and institutions engaged in the copyright debate. If any money is left (which seems unlikely), we will spend it on our projects, providing the world with better access to knowledge and culture, fully in line with our mission. -- Marcin Wilkowski Strona domowa: http://wilkowski.org/ http://www.facebook.com/mwilkowski http://twitter.com/marcinwilkowski Historia i Media - historia i dziedzictwo w kulturze cyfrowej http://historiaimedia.org
