Open Government (Gary Chapman)

History of Participatory Media. Politics and Publics, 1750-2000

Edited by Anders Ekström, Solveig Jülich, Frans Lundgren, Per Wisselgren
Routledge, 2010

This book argues for a historical perspective on issues relating to the notion of participatory media. Working from a broad concept of media – including essays on the 19th century press, early sound media, photography, exhibitions, television and the internet – the book offers a broad empirical approach to different modes of audience participation from the mid 19th century to the present. Using the insights from the historical case studies, the book also explores some of the key concepts in discussions on the politics of participation, arguing for a theoretical perspective sensitive to the asymmetries that characterize the distribution of agency in the relationship between media and users.

Scholarly discussions on participatory media now occur in several fields. This book argues that all of these discussions are all too often obscured by a rhetoric of newness, assuming that participatory media is something unique in history, radical and revolutionary. By challenging the historiography implicit in this rhetoric, the book also engages in a discussion of issues of more general relevance to the multidisciplinary field of media history.

Conferência

«Cinema em trânsito: o cinema no campo ampliado da arte contemporânea»

André Parente (Realizador e Professor na Escola de Comunicação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro)

26 de Novembro, 5ª feira, 18 horas, Auditório 3 FCSH/UNL

Uma conferência que abordará algumas tendências do cinema contemporâneo: cinema expandido (anos 1950-60), cinema de museu ou de exposição (dos anos de 1980 em diante), a partir da obra seminal de autores como Michael Snow, Antony Mccall, Jeffrey Shaw, Thierry Kuntzel, entre outros. Ver-se-á como estas manifestações estão a transformar a experiência do cinema nas suas dimensões discursiva (narrativas, montagem, découpage), arquitectónica (as condições de projecção das imagens) e tecnológica (produção, edição e exibição).

André Parente (www.eco.ufrj.br/aparente) é investigador do audiovisual e das novas tecnologias da imagem, é professor na Escola de Comunicação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro e realizador. Doutorou-se em cinema e filosofia na Universidade de Paris VIII, onde estudou sob a orientação do filósofo Gilles Deleuze. Em 1991 fundou o Núcleo de Tecnologia da Imagem (N-imagem) da UFRJ. Entre 1977 e 2009 realiza inúmeros vídeos, filmes, instalações e dispositivos, mostrados no Brasil e no estrangeiro (Espanha, França, Alemanha, Suécia, México, Argentina, Colômbia, Canadá, Reino Unido, entre outros), entre eles o Visorama (www.eco.ufrj.br/visorama). Recebeu vários prémios, nacionais e internacionais. Entre os seus principais livros, destacamos: Imagem-máquina (1993); Sobre o cinema do simulacro (1998); O virtual e o hipertextual (1999); Narrativa e modernidade: os cinemas não-narrativos do pós-guerra (2000); Tramas da Rede (2004); Cinéma et Narrativité (2005), Preparações e Tarefas (2008).

La ONU advierte que la brecha digital crece

(EFE, 16/11/2009): «Las sesiones del Foro de Gobernanza de Internet de la ONU han comenzado en la localidad turística egipcia de Sharm el Sheij, donde hasta el próximo miércoles se analizarán distintos aspectos de la situación en la red. Bajo el título La Gobernanza de Internet: Crear oportunidades para todos, representantes de diversos organismos y empresas analizarán temas como la seguridad, la apertura, la privacidad, el acceso, la diversidad o la gestión de los recursos críticos en la red.

«En su discurso de apertura, el subsecretario general de la ONU para Asuntos Económicos y Sociales, Sha Sukang, llamó la atención sobre la brecha digital que divide a aquellos con acceso a Internet con los que no pueden acceder a la red. "La brecha es amplia, especialmente para millones de africanos y árabes. En 2005 el 50 por ciento de las personas de países desarrollados tenían acceso a Internet, frente al 9 por ciento de las de los países en desarrollo". Hoy, en 2009, el 70 por ciento de la población del llamado primer mundo tiene Internet, frente al 17 por ciento de las personas de los países en vías de desarrollo, ha explicado.»
