Workshop descriptions
Spam Publishing
(Andre & Silvio) For many of us our relation with spam emails consists in moving them from the inbox to the junk-mail folder of our email accounts. Yet, if we take a close look at some of the unsolicited emails we receive we might find them curious, and may even be amuse by them. We might even begin to see them as a literary creations, in which considerable amounts of inventiveness, and awareness to the current global situation, as well as possessing knowledge on society's anxieties. These elements are cleverly explored in spam emails in order to produce persuasive messages. Curious glitches also abound, such as the heavy use of stereotypes, Google-translate misinterpretations, typos, word obfuscations, and recurring text fragments. Being it such an idiosyncratic and rich area of text production I believe it deserves to be embraced as a literary genre. Being it so, I am interested in exploring it as a literary device, as a template for writing and communication.
Consent to Print
(Eleanor & Dave) As digital content is increasingly atomized and paper assumes the role of curated 'best of', how do we decide what qualifies for printing? Voting systems and individual curation are the usual answers, but could there be more interesting and self-reflexive methods? A workshop to prototype experimental, democratic methods of filtering online content and using them to create custom print publications.
note from eleanor: Theoretical input from me will come from my research on Consensus decision-making, and the critiques that can be made of it by feminist theories of consent.
Dave => My research interests lie in how the participants negotiate decision-making processes as a group. I'm particularly curious about how the participants respond to the challenge of developing a social system as a means of avoiding the emergence of a fixed-hierarchy, and how their system performs practically given the task of co-producing a text.
Some Resources on Hybrid Publishing
Silvio => I'm currently involved in a research on how (new media) art responds to the new possibilities for publishing. In particular in the ways in which tools and devices for publishing become entities to formulate a statemaent on the current state of technology.
