404 History Not Found: Challenges in Internet History and Memory Studies

How did the Internet become relevant in today’s culture and politics? How were its codes and rules—whether technical, social or cultural—constructed, challenged, and normalized? How did net culture become a mass phenomenon of global importance? To understand why and how the “Internet rules” today, it is essential that we look back at the internet’s past. In this pre-conference, we will discuss the specific theoretical and methodological challenges that arise in the study of the internet through time and memory, for purposes of both historiography (what net histories and how?) and epistemology (net histories as an object of media research). Attendees will be invited to participate in three hands-on, interactive sessions organized around issues, sources and methods fundamental to researching net diachronicity.

Net history survives in unexpected places, unfolding through time and space, collapsing in on the present. The artifacts that surface may be incomplete or inscrutable absent their original contexts, requiring us to borrow creatively from other fields and develop new historical methods (Ankerson, 2011; Brügger & Finnemann, 2012; Paloque-Berges, 2016). From formal archives and oral histories to lingering web sites, software, and hardware artifacts, the material evidence of the past suggests a diversity of social, temporal, and technical regimes. Indeed, recent scholarship on early networks reveals a greater range of experiences, technologies, norms and motivations than is found in best-known histories of the internet (Brammer, 2015; Brunton, 2013; Driscoll, 2014; Hargadon, 2011; Mailland, 2015; Paloque-Berges, 2011; Rankin 2014, 2015; Russell, 2014; Russell & Schafer, 2014; Schafer & Thierry, 2012; Schulte, 2013; Streeter, 2011). In their wake, we question how to make sense of conflicts and contradictions while respecting the subjective lived experiences of individual participants. What is our responsibility to find and document hidden histories, obscure sources, and less visible networks? How will a richer understanding of the internet’s past change how we engage with its present and imagine its future?

This pre-conference will include three workshop sessions organized around core research challenges in net history: (1) epistemology, (2) sources and methodology, and (3) mediation and transmission. Selected participants, rather than present whole case studies, will intervene on specific challenges—for instance: theoretical paradoxes or deadlocks, methodological problem-solving, and demonstrations of born-digital artifacts. The audience will be involved by taking positions, suggesting ad-hoc solutions, and identifying common themes.

(…) This pre-conference will be a full-day workshop facilitated by Kevin Driscoll and Camille Paloque-Berges with support from the Agence Nationale de la Recherche project Web90. The discussions and hands-on activities will be accessible to all AOIR attendees but will be especially engaging for researchers encountering issues of temporality, memory, nostalgia, or a need to “go back in time” in their own work.

Résumé

Le droit d’auteur, élaboré sur les fondements analogiques de la rareté du support, est remis en question par le numérique, qui s’appuie sur la copie, la réappropriation et le partage. Il a été adapté au rythme des innovations techniques de reproduction et de diffusion et peut conduire aussi bien au contrôle de l’accès qu’à la constitution de biens communs. Les processus d’élaboration des normes et standards techniques et d’extension des droits ont été pensés de manière indépendante, entraînant des tensions entre les industries culturelles et les droits du public.
L’ouvrage propose un modèle techno-juridique de la régulation du partage de la culture. Fondé sur la lex informatica, il intègre code juridique et code informatique pour exprimer les informations sur les droits et élargir les catégories actuelles du droit d’auteur pour faciliter l’utilisation, la création et le partage non marchand.

Ce livre est basé sur plus de dix ans de participation à la régulation juridique et technique du droit d’auteur. Co-fondatrice et responsable juridique de Creative Commons France au CERSA (CNRS Université Paris II) entre 2003 et 2013, l’auteure a pris part à la standardisation technique MPEG (ISO), à deux commissions du CSPLA (ministère de la Culture) et à des travaux de l’OMPI (Nations unies) avec le statut d’observateur en tant que présidente de Communia, l’association internationale pour le domaine public numérique. Docteure en droit et chargée de recherche au CNRS, Mélanie Dulong de Rosnat est responsable du pôle Gouvernance de l’Information et des Communs à l’ISCC (Institut des sciences de la communication CNRS/Paris Sorbonne/UPMC). Elle est aussi chercheuse invitée dans le département Media and Communications de la London School of Economics.

The Case for the Preservation of R&D Project Websites

“About 1 year ago, Arquivo.pt performed an experiment to preserve the .EU domain.

We are now trying to focus on preserving sites of R&D projects. To this end, our first idea was to use the EU Open Data Portal to identify these project URLs. The problem is that from the 25 608 R&D projects funded by FP7 listed by the EU Open Data Portal, only 7.9% had an associated project URL.

So, the first main challenge is to identify R&D project web sites to be preserved.

And you can help!”

Pionnières dans l’archivage du .eu, les archives du Web portugaises s’intéressent aujourd’hui à la préservation des sites de projets, notamment européens, et de leurs résultats intermédiaires.

Pôle MIT (Modélisation des Interactions Temporelles) de l’ISCC

rubon355-d7ca9Le pôle MIT (Modélisation des Interactions Temporelles) de l’ISCC vous invite à une matinée de réflexion interdisciplinaire le 17 février matin autour de deux exposés

 

Dynamique des réseaux et des collectifs sociaux
                        Michel Grossetti, DR CNRS

Dans cette présentation les collectifs sont définis comme des ensembles d’acteurs sociaux partageant des ressources et les réseaux comme des agrégations de collectifs dyadiques. Sur la base de ces définitions, on s’efforcera d’inventorier quelques uns des processus par lesquels les relations dyadiques émergent de collectifs plus vastes ou par lesquels les collectifs émergent des réseaux.

Dynamique des discussions dans les forums
                       Alberto Lumbreras, doctorant

Pour analyser la dynamique des forums de discussion on peut les représenter comme des arbres ou chaque noeud correspond à un post. Dans cette présentation on s’intéressera aux dynamiques de ces arbres de deux points de vues. D’un côté, du point de vue de leur population de triades et, d’autre côte, du point de vue de leur modélisation stochastique dans le cadre des modèle génératifs de graphes.

The Special Interest Group for Computers, Information and Society (SIGCIS) welcomes submissions for its 2016 annual workshop, to be held on June 26 and 27, 2016 in Singapore. This is immediately after the end of the regular annual meeting of its parent organization, the Society for the History of Technology.

Workshop Theme: Convergence and Divergence
The terms “convergence” and “divergence” are opposite to one another, but they can both be used, sometimes simultaneously, to study information and computing technologies in their social, cultural, and political contexts. For instance, an individual computer may serve as a site of convergence for raw materials sourced around the world. At the same time, the journey of each of those materials from their extraction sites to the manufacturers’ factories may itself be a story of divergence—that is, of how resources and ideas scatter away from their point of origin.
Convergence and divergence also occur beyond the material cultures of computing and information. The technical standards, social conventions, and legal frameworks that shape how people can engage with information technologies can vary wildly across the globe, or even from one local context to the next. People working in different national or local contexts may develop similar frameworks by following entirely different paths and, conversely, ways of conceptualizing, using, and regulating computing and information in a local setting may gain global appeal.
The theme for this year’s SIGCIS meeting is “Convergence and Divergence,” broadly conceived. Possible lines of inquiry include:
– Comparative or international studies of governance and regulation
– Local and regional cultures of computing
– Changes in computing technologies and market structures (such as digital convergence)
– Global systems of resource extraction and equipment manufacturing
– The movement of information technology within and across national borders
– The convergence and/or divergence of disciplinary perspectives in the history of computing and information.
As always, we welcome submissions even if they do not align with the workshop theme. Our membership is international and interdisciplinary, and our members examine the history of information technologies and their place within society from a variety of scholarly perspectives including the history of technology, business history, labor history, social history, the history of science, science studies, communications, gender and sexuality studies, computing, and museum studies.

Submission Procedure: All submissions should be made online via the SIGCIS website (http://www.sigcis.org/workshop16). The deadline for submissions is February 12, 2016.
