Re: [Air-l] Internet -- Source or Medium?
by Richard Parent 10 Apr '07

Maciej Kos raises an interesting question, and one that seems to get at the heart of the changes in language and common usage. It seems to me that we might really be talking about (at least) 2 things here: the internet (with large or small "i"), and the world wide web. The internet then can be thought of as a medium through and across which we can access the content stored on the servers that comprise the world wide web. But as my (decidedly techno-fluent) undergraduate students recently pointed out: they use the web and the internet every single day and have no idea what the difference is between the internet and the web. So, does this internet/web distinction still hold, or have we moved onto some new paradigm? Best wishes, Richard Parent University of Vermont

is Internet a '"source" or a "medium"? - ignorant's question
by Maciej Kos 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Dear All, Please excuse my ignorant question about the difference in meanings between a "source" and a "medium". Even though I would really like to study Information science or Communications [and with God's help I will], I haven't yet had any opportunity to do so and what I know is based on papers freely available online as well as in Elsevier's database. My background is Economics. To make things worst, I am not a native speaker. I was reading a paper written by a colleague of mine and noticed that she uses two words: a "medium" and a "source" as synonyms. For her the Internet is both a source and a medium of information. According to the Online Dictionary of Library and Information Science a "medium" is "information storage and retrieval, the physical substance or material on which data is recorded (parchment, paper, film, magnetic tape or disk, optical disk, etc.) or through which data is transmitted (optical fiber, coaxial cable, twisted pair, etc.). In a more general sense, the material or technical means by which any creative work is expressed or communicated, in print or nonprint format (...)". http://lu.com/odlis/odlis_m.cfm while a "source" is "Any document that provides information sought by a writer, researcher, library user, or person searching an online catalog or bibliographic database. Also refers to a document that provides information copied or reproduced in another document, for example, a quotation or excerpt." http://lu.com/odlis/odlis_s.cfm The same dictionary states that the "Internet" is a "The high-speed fiber-optic network of networks"; so it is not a "document that provides information (...)" However, I came across a lot of publications where the authors seem not to distinguish between "medium" and "source". As I said, I am not a native speaker - could you tell, if these two meanings have merged and I am simply pedantic or shall I follow the above definitions? Or perhaps there is a reason for using these to words as synonyms? Could you explain it to me, please ? Kind regards, Maciej ____________________________________ I am looking for an academic mentor.

Re: [Air-l] is Internet a '"source" or a "medium"? - ignorant'squestion (fwd)
by Alexis Turner 09 Apr '07

I think Rich gave you the best answer so far. "Medium" is generally used to describe any *vehicle or method* of communication, so, for instance, television, newspapers, visual arts, and film are all considered media because they offer a way for people to communicate. The Internet also offers a way for people to communicate, so it is also a medium. A "source" is the location from which something originates, like the source of a river might be a glacier. A source of coffee might be a plantation. A source of information might be a book. A source of information might also be the Internet. So, the Internet is both a source (of information) and a medium (of communication). They are not technically interchangable terms, but they are also hard to take apart from each other. For instance, how do you communicate with someone without having information to convey? And what use is *having* information if you do not have a way to pass it along (communicate it) to someone? That is why I think people are often clumsy about the way they use the terms - they don't describe the same thing, but they do describe closely related concepts, and you cannot have one without the other. -Alexis ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2007 18:54:29 +0200 From: richard.ling(a)telenor.com Reply-To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-l] is Internet a '"source" or a "medium"? - ignorant'squestion I think that the answer is "yes." It is both. On the one hand it is a medium when, for example, people are interacting via email. It is the medium through which they communicate. When you a looking something up, then it is a source.

W. LEE, Charles Sturt University, AUSTRALIA Hakan G. SENEL, Anadolu University, TURKEY 'Web 2.0' (O'Reilly, 2005 <http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20. html> ), epitomised by such nascent technologies as blogs, wikis, RSS, podcasting, as well as tag-based folksonomies, social networking, collaborative editing and peer-to-peer (P2P) media sharing applications, is purported to be redefining the way we conceive and make use of the Internet, and is enjoying considerable attention and popularity in both mainstream society and in education spheres. Its advent and continued growth may have specific implications for the field of online and web-based distance education. Submissions are invited for an internationally peer-reviewed Special Issue of the Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education (TOJDE) on the use of Web 2.0 and social software in distance education. Questions/themes that are of interest in this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following: * Does Web 2.0 represent a major conceptual or paradigm shift in how we conceive and make use of the Internet as a means of delivering teaching, learning and assessment? Are they the just the same old technologies in shiny new wrapping, or do they actually have anything new to offer us in the way of improving and/or enhancing the way we teach, learn and assess at a distance? How to avoid coasting on fashion and falling prey to a 'technology-driven pedagogy' (Salaberry, 2001)? * Is the emergence of Web 2.0 changing the culture of, and/or redefining the competencies that are needed by, distance education teachers and learners? * Does Web 2.0 have the potential - more so than its predecessors - to address the traditional issues/challenges faced by the field of distance education, and if so, how can this potential be best harnessed? How can the technology be used to capitalise on the unique strengths and opportunities of distance education? * What are existing examples of 'best practice' and 'good principles' in this area, if any, and how can we learn from them? * What are the major issues facing institutions in terms of strategy, policy and infrastructure for Web 2.0-enhanced distance education? What are the implications for teachers and learners? Scholarly articles in the form of reports of empirical/evidence-based research are sought for publication in this Special Issue pending favourable review. Meta-analyses, as well as case studies or reports of works-in-progress supported by a sound theoretical foundation and incorporating an extensive literature review, will also be considered. All articles will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity and soundness. Successful contributions will not focus merely on the technology or the technical aspects of Web 2.0-based distance education applications, but rather will engage deeply with pertinent questions and issues from a pedagogical, social, cultural, philosophical and/or moral/ethical perspective. Approximately 7 to 11 articles will be selected for this 4th Special Issue of TOJDE. Paper Specifications and Submission Guidelines For details, consult the TOJDE guidelines: http://tojde.anadolu.edu.tr/callfp.html. Please note that since TOJDE is an online publication, there is no specified word limit for submissions; however, authors are reminded that clarity and succinctness of expression will be highly valued.

CfP: Digital Cities 5 at C&T 2007
by Marcus Foth 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL 30 APRIL 2007 Digital Cities 5 Urban Informatics, Locative Media and Mobile Technology in Inner-City Developments Workshop at the 3nd International Conference on Communities and Technologies (C&T 2007) June 28th, 2007, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA Personalised mobile devices penetrate new urban spaces with a need for innovative products and services that enable the creative and consumption process to account for shifting social, cultural and psychological conditions. City residents now have the ability to communicate within groups, access media and entertainment content and manage their ‘digital lifestyle’ through SMS, mobile email, pictures and video. These innovative applications of locative media incorporate cultural and social patterns of interaction and user-led innovations that are yet to be fully explored. In addition to these informational and locative functions, locative media and mobile technology increasingly serve a discursive function as well. This is being manifested in a variety of rapidly emerging content genres (e.g., digital storytelling, blogs, e-zines, etc.) which are deployed between individuals as well as in networks of individuals. Digital cities have been promoted as a civic platform for citizens’ visions of the space they live and work in, complementary (and sometimes even alternative) to the much more institutional view of conventional e- government approaches. Locative media and mobile technology can enhance and augment digital cities and connect them in new ways to the physical city, enhancing civic participation and deliberation. Relevant Research Questions: How can a balance be achieved between the opportunities of locative media and mobile technology on the one side and issues of access, trust and privacy on the other? What is the role of locally relevant content (personal and community images and narratives) in the establishment of sustainable social networks as well as in the context of civic participation? What can we learn from the communication models of global social networking sites such as MySpace and plazes.com in order to animate local interaction and civic participation of residents and friends locally? What is the role of location, (geo)graphical representations such as maps of various kinds, in supporting people to understand and navigate the augmented urban landscape? What is the impact of these new technologies on the challenges in moving from e-government to e-governance, e-participation to e- democracy at the urban level? Will these technological developments help increase or decrease the opportunities for citizens to play a role in shaping sustainable cities? What are the implications for the architecture and urban design of cities and public spaces? Submission Details: Interested contributors should submit an extended abstract, 1500-2000 words long, stating the author’s name, affiliation, and contact information. This should be emailed to the workshop organisers before April 30th, 2007 and should summarise the author(s) research / practice background and interests as well as the work and results that will be described in a full paper. Accepted authors will be notified by May 18th, 2007. The acceptance of an extended abstract implies that at least one of the authors will register for both the workshop and the Communities & Technologies 2007 conference. Selected contributors will be asked to submit a full paper before October 1st, 2007. Full papers will undergo double blind peer review and appear in an edited book to be published by Idea Group in 2008. The full call for papers can be found at: https://ebusiness.tc.msu.edu/cct2007/page4d.html Please email any questions and inquiries to both workshop organisers.

Ph.D. student is looking for a good home for his Thesis
by Michael Baron 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Hi, all I guess my posting to the AOIR list is an anusual one! I am based in Melbourne, Australia. I have been a Ph.D student at RMIT University for 3 years...then had to leave due to some "lovely misunderstandings" with my supervisor. As a result I am left with a) Virtually complete ph.d Thesis in the Area of Internet Communications but no university to submit the Thesis at (have to shop for another uni now) b) difficult job of finding a uni I am not after living allowance etc. ( I got a uni teaching job, thx God) but i am looking for a university where i can submit my thesis ASAP (if its Aus, i guess i will have to wait for at least two years before i can submit). What i am looking for is opportunity to continue my studies free of charge ( e.g. fee-exemption scholarship such as RTS) as well as opportunity to complete the thesis in Internet Communications without moving out of Melbourne. In return, I will be more than happy to contribute to the univerisity's research activities, online teaching etc. Any helpers? Or may be some good advice I feel a bit shy to use AOIR for the purpose of finding good home for my thesis...but given all the energy i put into my thesis already, am feeling a bit desperate :). Thank you for your help. Michael -- "My Body is my Temple" "Be The Change You Want to See In The World." Gandhi

THE PEACE EDUCATION CENTER invites you to attend a special colloquium presented by Richard A. Koenigsberg "WARFARE AND DEVOTION TO THE SACRED IDEAL" FACULTY MEMBERS:YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND. PLEASE ALSO TELL YOUR STUDENTS ABOUT THIS SPECIAL EVENT. Wednesday, April 18 - 7:00-9:00pm Teachers College, Columbia University Room 179 Grace Dodge (525 West 120th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ There is no charge to attend, but space is limited. To hold your place, please send an email ASAP to: mailto:PEC-Colloquium@ScholarlyCalls.com If warfare and other forms of collective violence were viewed solely as a bad thing, achieving peace would not be difficult. But warfare often is conceived as a grand and noble enterprise. This colloquium will explore the relationship between violence and a group?s attachment to its sacred ideals. Bin Laden and other Islamic radicals often proclaim, We love death the way you Americans love life implying that the United States is decadent and corrupt--acking in spiritual values. September 11 provided the occasion for Americans to recommit to their sacred ideals. President George Bush declared after 9/11: ?I see out of this evil will come good as youngsters all of a sudden understand the value of sacrifice. He calls freedom the mightiest force in history. Waging war allows a nation to demonstrate the depth of its devotion to its sacred ideals. Space is limited. To hold your place, please send an email ASAP to: mailto:PEC-Colloquium@ScholarlyCalls.com Perhaps the following idea has sustained the Iraqi war: Do not imagine that the United States lacks sacred values. We too possess ideals for which we are willing to kill and die: As young people in the Middle-East martyr themselves for Allah, so young Americans sacrifice their lives for freedom and democracy. Through lecture and intensive discussion, this colloquium seeks to move toward the possibility of peace?by exploring the sources of the human attachment to war. Richard A. Koenigsberg holds a PhD in Social Psychology from the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research. He is the author of numerous books and papers including ?Dying for One?s Country: The Logic of War and Genocide. He lectures extensively on the sources of societal violence. In the fall he will embark on a college lecture tour on CIVILIZATION AND SELF-DESTRUCTION.

CFP: The Refractory (journal) Special Games and New Media Issue
by Samita Nandy 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

All dates are for this year, 2007---------- Abstract Deadline: April 10th (Articles: 3,000 - 7,000 words, refereed) (Small Articles: 1,000 - 3,000 words) (Reviews: 300 - 500 words) Notification of Successes: April 30th Submission Deadline: July 1st Publication: Mid-Late August Refractory: a Journal of Entertainment Media is a refereed, peer-reviewed, e-journal that explores the diverging and intersecting aspects of current and past entertainment media. The journal is published by the Cinema Studies Program, School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne. http://www.refractory.unimelb.edu.au/ ISSUE THEME: Meta-Materiality: Games, New Media, The Digital Launching as it did in 2002, The Refractory arrived on the scene just in time for its titular metaphor to get complicated, with the arrival of 'metamaterials' – artificial composites with negative refractive indices . When a wave phenomenon such as light travels between media, it changes speed and bends relative to the normal: refraction. But with just the right metamaterial, the positive refraction can be negated. The wave finds its stride – the straw in the glass looks straight – total refraction. This special issue of The Refractory aims to assess its central metaphor in relationship to games and new media with a focus on the materiality of their aesthetics, assemblages, ecologies, and networks. Some directions you may wish to consider are: - Real-world economics, class and power in games - Remediation, Adaptation, Cross-media Style and the Media's Metamateriality - Protocol, Code, Algorithms – the materiality of Digital Media - Re-representation of one medium by another: e.g. Videogame Emulations, Youtube - Arcades, public space, social mapping and locative media - Material genres: e.g. Game engines, middleware, blogs, - Mobile movements and the 'ludicity' of technology - Controller crises, free movement, and gestural remediation: e.g. Wii Sports - Who actually makes games? / A history of Tose studios - Piracy, free gaming, information control, DRM - New Media art and artistic intervention Editors: Christian McCrea // Cinema Studies Program, University of Melbourne Darshana Jayemanne // Literary Studies Program, University of Melbourne Thomas H.

report about the working conditions of webdesigners
by geert lovink 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Network Notebooks is a series of publications on recent new media theory. INC proudly presents: ---Network Notebooks nr.1--- Technobohemians or the new Cybertariat? New media work in Amsterdam a decade after the web by Rosalind Gill About the publication Accounts of new media working draw heavily on two polarised stereotypes, veering between techno-utopianism on the one hand, and a vision of web-workers as the new ‘precariat’, victims of neoliberal economic policies and moves to flexibilisation and insecurity on the other. Heralded from both perspectives as representing the brave new world of work what is striking is the absence of research on new media workers own experiences, particularly in a European context. This report goes beyond the contemporary myths of new media work, to explore how people working in the field experience the pleasures, pressures and challenges of working on the web. Illustrated throughout with quotations from interviews, this research examines the different career biographies emerging for content-producers in web-based industries, questions the relevance of existing education and training, and highlights the different ways in which people manage and negotiate freelancing, job insecurity, and keeping up to date in a fast-moving field where software and expectations change rapidly. The research is based on 35 interviews carried out in Amsterdam in 2005, and contextually draws upon a further 60 interviews with web designers in London and Brighton. The interviews were carried out by Danielle van Diemen and Rosalind Gill. About the author Rosalind Gill is a teacher and researcher based at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is author of The Gender-Technology Relation (with Keith Grint) and her new book Gender and the Media has just been published by Polity press. She carried out research on new media working for the European Commission in 2000 and published some of the results relating to new inequalities in this field in an influential article entitled ‘Cool, creative and egalitarian?’ She is currently preparing a book about women and the web, and completing analysis of 180 interviews with web designers in London, Brighton and L.A.
