# Carrier bag Theory of non-fiction |
|||
|
|||
title: ursula le guin, |
|||
origin: carrier bag of human evolution |
|||
evolution looks like a bag in which you put and collect and bring stuff instead of violence |
|||
focus on gatherers rather than hunters |
|||
not on hero but relationships and processes |
|||
what does the carrier bag for non-fiction could look like? |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
a proposal to use the carrier bag as a publication framework |
|||
|
|||

research the city of paris as a human body (like in odissey) |
|||
[also in many cosmogonies] |
|||
urban metabolism (build cities as organisms) |
|||
people walk faster in big cities |

relationality, not about text as object or author as subject |
|||
how this helps to define urgency |
|||
|
|||
modelarity |
|||
|
|||
alternative way of binding research |
|||
Reference to Lev Manovich, New Media |
|||
software, cultural content not having fixed boundaries |
|||
actively modularized by users |
|||
real revolution is in the possibility of remixing, not in the image itself |
|||
standards to make culture more sharable |
|||
"helping cultural bits move around more easily" |
|||
critical stance to modularity of Lev Manovich |
|||
cultural differences |
|||
Tara McPherson, why are digital humanities so white? |
|||
Manovich mainly focuses on spacely modular |
|||
And says that culture is not being modular, but the distribution of it is making it modular |
|||
|
|||
post-human perspective providing tools to take books appart as commodities |

what are implications of de-centering the human? |
|||
technologies as tools that help these reconsiderations |
|||
rethinking the book, its authorship, publishing, (more) |
|||
|
|||
3 projects that Janneke and Gary were involved in |
|||
|
|||
* Living books about Life (Open Humanities Press) |
|||
http://livingbooksaboutlife.org |
|||
|
|||
including multimedia material |
|||
emphasizing the duration of the books |
|||
anyone can edit |
|||
using a wiki, software that already questions stability, authorship |
|||
|
|||
where to cut the books? who is making decisions? |
|||
what about spam or porn? |
|||
is it the editor, publisher, software who decides? |
|||
|
|||
* photomediations: an open book, |
|||
http://photomediationsopenbook.net |
|||
|
|||
experiment in open and hybrid publishing |
|||

|||
- educationial online space http://bit.ly/pop-edu |
|||
|
|||
* The disrupted Journale of Media Practice |
|||
|
|||
questioning the journal |
|||
|
|||
how publishing could become more part of scholar practice, perform research? |
|||
|
|||
- curated conversations, to emphasize collaborative nature of project |
|||
- podcast |
|||
- ? |
|||
- annotation tool using Hypothesis https://web.hypothes.is/ |
|||
|
|||
the group was asked to publish their research |
|||
How to translate this platform publishing process to print? |
|||
- QR codes |
|||
- layout experiments with annotations |
|||
|
|||
publishing as an "other" process |
|||
a distinct trajectory from doing research |

How to be a critic in fast changing technologies |
|||
|
|||
kritik labbet was funded between 2016-2018, now experimenting with other forms |
|||
|
|||
using the word experiment, instead of project, to create space for failing |
|||
|
|||
kritik-labbet: a lab for criticism |
|||
- critic cannot work as professional (economics) |
|||
- critics unable to deep up with technology |
|||
- critic unable to keep up with the other arts |
|||
|
|||
tumblr blog [isn't that the risk that in order to keep up the critic turn into a social media manager?] |
|||
|
|||
amateurization of criticism |
|||
|
|||
rethink the public sphere, instead of thinking of media |
|||
expand the model of public sphere |
|||
private, public, none-public, non-private |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
* experiment: https://masskritik.tumblr.com |
|||
many visitors (online & local) publishing about the bookfair in Gotenberg |
|||
documenting the fair, multi-authorship |
|||
How can collective writing be critical publishing? |
|||
|
|||
* experiment: The last mass mail |
|||
critical reviews on art works part of a fair, written by visitors |
|||
|
|||
place / site, whilst contemplating locality? |

[widening the carrier bag?] |
|||
|

including processes in publishing practices |
|||
|
|||
Q&A |
|||
|
|||
Florian: post-humanism as something very positiv, along the line of Rosi Bari....., no? Post Humanism fits many ideologies (Sillicon Valley, right wing, etc)? Isn't it a danger to use the term, if it includes so many discourses. Isn't it dangarous to include pervasise labour? |
|||
Gary: many versions of post-humanism. sometimes disagreements in department. Debate on Jordan Peterson last night, he is never going to stop publishing because of good arguments. How did the liberal human came into being? It doesn't matter to tell the truth anymore. A lot about attention. You can do that with lies, post-truth, being Trump. Monographs lost their weight. We try to think about different modes of beings. And how we can interact and engage differently. Sometimes we call it post-humanism, sometimes in-humanism. We don't want to become a brand. And brand post-humanism. |
|||
Florian: Uni Utrecht is branding post-humanism. |
|||
Shailoh: hmm? no |
|||
Gary: sometimes it's needed to do that |
|||
Janneke: post is post-humanities, post-humanism, but other forms of "post"ness |
|||
|
|||
Mariam: role of collaboration multi-authorship in writing? |
|||
author: writing excel sheets in order to make hypertextual work |
|||
lotte: new forms of story telling |
|||
|
|||
shailoh: bags are expandable, critique on smooth modularity, moments when database crash, |
|||
humanities has not being very friendly to humanity |
|||
post-humanist being more helpful to pervasive workers, when they are not following liberal intentions |
|||
lidia: no funding for the zine, interest in platform building |
|||
janneke: ethics of care while producing publications, being part of an editorial board should be recognized in academic cv's |
|||
|
|||
?: publishing strategies that are presented are not new, part of a longer (art) history. Why do experimental publishing formats persist? Lidia's focus on conditions was very important. Liked as you said: "Who has the priviledge to leave the platforms?" |
|||
lidia: point of priviledge was an important start of the project. Who has the priviledge to use alternative networks (like federated publishing). Who gets heared? Who gets published? |
|||
janneke: Not how publishing looks like, but what publishing does. Thinking beyond what we're used to. Fighting a battle with conversative academia. |
|||
|
|||
?: how does archiving and metadata come into discussions around experimental publishing & post-humanism. A practice that is tightly connected machine mechanisms. |

qualities of a troll: cunning, obsessive, neurodiverse |

when u venture outside of your echo chamber check yourself make sure you are not imprinted |
|||
|
|||
I'm trolling not change my enemies mind but for ppl like me |
|||
|
|||
trained graphic design aesthetics trigger mistrust, designers need to unlearn to make memes that speak to people that don't read visual western design language |
|||
|

trolling to have the message out there, even if it reaches a few |

# Conversation Florian & Roel |
|||
|
|||
Varia |
|||
place that combines everyday technology |
|||
art, activism, media critique, also neighbourhood involvement |
|||
hosting federated networks |
|||
|
|||
what are federated networks? |
|||
|
|||
web, email |
|||
some degree of space to have a say about their system |
|||
sharing an infrastructure |
|||
where entities have a degree of autonomy in that network |
|||
|
|||
specific focus on applications that run on top of the federated network |
|||
examples? |
|||
XMPP, instant chat across platforms |
|||
Mastodon, essentially twitter clone, but with a few BUTs |
|||
Fediverse, network of different implementations, one of those is Mastodon |
|||
|
|||
instance? |
|||
a server that is running a particular software |
|||
collocial way: includes community that it is running |
|||
some location related, others topic/interest related |
|||
community rules |
|||
|
|||
perfect technology for distributed troll farm? |
|||
yes it is |
|||
|
|||
Mastodon since 2016, but longer history from free software projects: diaspora, gnu social |
|||
you could see relation between mastodon and 4chan, where people have been thinking about self-hosting, making your own platform, cyber-libetariasm, |
|||
another lineage: open web, w3c, |
|||
|
|||
But with Mastodon, a lot of people don't come from the libetarian 4chan backgrounds |
|||
but from queer culture, bringing code of conducts |
|||
not a coincidence that in 2016, trump was elected, gamergate happened |
|||
|
|||
before, federation was all about building a bigger network, the more connections the better |
|||
in Mastodon (a fork from GNU social), introduced the idea of blocking connections with some servers |
|||
|
|||
What about a troll instance in the Fediverse? |
|||
Blocking allowed to disconnect |
|||
Code-of-Conduct is used as a place to define what is welcome and not |
|||
|
|||
Yesterday: lot of talking to stay with the trouble? |
|||
danger of creating an organic supermarket, creating your own niche |
|||
stepping aside, where actually people should step in |
|||
|
|||
Joining the Fediverse does not mean that you need to cut off lines with other platforms. |
|||
So for some Mastodon is a safe place to have specific conversations. |
|||
Fediverse to be a network that is complimentary. |
|||
|
|||
What about centralization? |
|||
There is a similarity with older BBS networks, that got synces every night. |
|||
Doesn't it create privacy problems? |
|||
|
|||
Mastodon is a publishing platform, not a private communication platform. |
|||
Twitter has PM, but these are not private, system admins can see them. |
|||
Publishing inherently is a public activity. |
|||
|
|||
Mastodon & Diaspora have much better support for publishing, in terms of features. |
|||
How are they be used? What is published? |
|||
|
|||
ActivityPub allows to make connections between projects. |
|||
Too much cloning happening atm still. |
|||
|
|||
It brings a new group of people, interesting in free software publishing |
|||
Not computer science graduates, mostly men, free software. |
|||
Now groups of media designers, UX design, art, etc, that come with different attitudes and ideas. |
|||
front-end developer often under represented in software communities. |
|||
|
|||
Questions |
|||
|
|||
What about banning a video from a peertube instance? |
|||
finegrained tools for moderation and content visibility. |
|||
|
|||
Boring question about governance? |
|||
Exciting question! |
|||
Mastodon: benevolant dictator model Eugen Rotcko |
|||
many contributions are not acknowledged, not writing code |
|||
examples of projects that are forking, but first focussing on the governance model |
|||
lot of innovation in how you organise such communities? |
|||
|
|||
How easy is it for a third party to look at all the data? |
|||
It's all out in the open, because it's all about publishing in public. |
|||
|
|||
Techno-social imaginary? What else is possible in this realm? |
|||
Issue tracker, place where discussions around imaginaries are happening and being recorded. |
|||
|
|||
Could Wikipedia be saved with federation? |
|||
Where the biggest design issue is that everything needs to be merged. |
|||
|
|||
Feminist Internet Principles |
|||
Most federated publishing platform, allow for code of conducts for the users. |
|||
But where is the platform itself being taken into account? |
|||
|
|||
Traditionally peer2peer is seen as ideal. |
|||
Federation is introducing tools for a larger audience |
|||
But there is still a power in-balance between developers and users. |
|||
So this is a very good question, still unresolved. |
|||
