SUMMARY:Federico Casalegno: "Designing Connections"
DESCRIPTION:Federico Casalegno\nBy providing a critical description of existing technologies and projects related to the use of information and communication technologies to enhance social connectivity\, this talk will illustrate innovative ways to design creative new media and digital interactions to foster connections between people\, information\, and places. \nFederico Casalegno\, Ph.D.\, is the Director of the MIT Mobile Experience Lab and Associate Director of the MIT Design Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since 2008\, he is the director of the Green Home Alliance between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Italy. He is adjunct full professor at IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca\, Italy. \nA social scientist with an interest in the impact of networked digital technologies in human behavior and society\, Casalegno both teaches and leads advanced research at MIT\, and design interactive media to foster connections between people\, information and physical places using cutting-edge information technology.

SUMMARY:Revision\, Culture\, and the Machine: How Digital Makes Us Human
DESCRIPTION:John BryantHofstra University\nIn revising their own texts\, or other people’s texts\, writers erase the past\, remodel it\, or reinvent it. They create versions of themselves\, and those versions are recorded in the textual identities they create through revision. By studying revision\, we are able to see not only how a single writer evolves but also how a culture insists upon certain evolutions\, with or without the writer’s consent. \nTherefore\, the dynamics of revision can take us to the heart of identity formation both in its expressive and repressive strains. What compels a culture to rewrite its texts? How do we track revision in order to “see” or rather “give witness to” revisionary processes? In addressing these problems\, digital scholarship can offer far more access to the fluid texts that expose the dynamics of revision and help us confront the necessity of revision in our culture. \nJohn Bryant will draw upon examples from revision studies\, adaptation\, and translation in order to highlight the elements of creativity\, appropriation\, and cultural difference that are at stake in dealing with the ethics and editing of revision. Along the way\, he will demonstrate TextLab\, the Melville Electronic Library’s revision editing tool\, and discuss the ethical as well as editorial dimensions of other imagined tools\, such as Melville Remix and How Billy [Budd] Grew. \nBryant is Professor of English at Hofstra University and received his BA. MA\, and PhD from the University of Chicago. He has written on Melville\, related writers of the nineteenth-century\, and textual scholarship. He is also editor of Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies. His recent book\, Melville Unfolding: Sexuality\, Politics\, and the Versions of Typee (Michigan 2008)\, is based on his online fluid-text edition Herman Melville’s Typee. He is currently working on a critical biography\, Herman Melville: A Half-Known Life (Wiley) and the NEH-funded Melville Electronic Library (MEL)\, an online critical archive and “We the People” project.

SUMMARY:Sandra Braman: "Frames\, Fractures\, and Skins: Internet Design as Social Policy"
DESCRIPTION:Communications Forum and the Program in Science\, Technology\, and Society present a lunch-time talk with MIT Press author and Information Policy book series editor Sandra Braman (University of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee) \nSandra Braman\nThose responsible for technical design of the Internet have found they must think through a number of social policy issues along the way\, from those we might expect (privacy\, property rights\, and security) to those that may be more surprising (environmental problems\, ensuring access in rural areas\, and the socio-cultural impact of network use). In doing so they make and analyze policy\, develop formal decision-making processes and governance entities\, and discuss political\, social\, and communication theory. Positions on policy issues were framed by conceptualizations of the nature of the network\, goals to be served by the network\, users and uses of the network\, early identification of specific legal and policy problems that needed to be addressed\, and the design criteria that served as policy principles as they were developed during the early years of the design process. Based on a discourse analysis of the technical document series that records the history of Internet design decision-making as it was launched by issuance of the first DARPA contract in 1969\, this presentation examines such policy fundamentals as they developed during the first decade of the network process and traces the consequences of reliance upon those frames as the network continued to develop and change over time. \nBring lunch if you’d like. Coffee and drinks served.
