FemTechNet is a network of international scholars and artists activated by Alexandra Juhasz and Anne Balsamo to design, implement, and teach the first DOCC (Distributed Online Collaborative Course), a feminist rethinking of the MOOC. The course, Feminist Dialogues on Technology, will be offered in fifteen classrooms, at least one in every continent, in the Fall of 2013. This project uses technology to enable interdisciplinary and international conversation while privileging situated diversity and networked agency. Building the course on a shared set of recorded dialogues with the world’s preeminent thinkers and artists who consider technology through a feminist lens, the rest of the course will be built, and customized for the network’s local classrooms and communities, by network members who submit and evaluate Boundary Objects that Learn—the course’s basic pedagogic instruments.
FemTechNet invites interested scholars and artists to join this project and help build this course. In this seminar, Alexandra Juhasz and Anne Balsamo discuss how this innovative project got started, explore the model of distributed online collaborative courses, and lead a discussion of how FemTechNet or similar courses might fit within the liberal arts curriculum.
Speakers
Alexandra Juhasz, Professor of Media Studies, Pitzer College, and Anne Balsamo, Dean of the School of Media Studies, New School for Public Engagement (New York).

Culture, screens and connected devices! – 5 countries on 3 continents analysed – by Bain & Cie
For the 2011 edition of the Forum d’Avignon, the consulting firm Bain & Cie realized an exclusive study on connected services and devices aiming at estimating the consequences of the announced revolution: will those be at the origin of a new reinvented cultural experience?
To answer this question, Bain & Cie launched an international survey on 3 continents and 5 countries: Europe (France, UK), America (USA) and Asia (urban India and urban China). By 2015, as connected TV is foreseen as a true revolution, the survey concludes on the increased competitiveness between the various types of screens, which will all be connected to each other in the future. But the trends are already visible, well ahead of the development of connected TV screens, notably in countries such as France where internet providers already offer, thanks to theirs “boxes” a full range of services and on-demand video. It is therefore without any surprise, that we can witness a relatively low willingness in France to access new services offered by connected TV, given their similarities to the ones already available. On the other hand, in urban India and in China, expectations are particularly high and the development of such services should go hand in hand with the increase of the time devoted to culture every day.

"‘Tech in Africa’ has come a long way in a very short time. It took less than five years for a small and fragmented group of pioneers to evolve into a sizeable pan-African community. It includes IT start-up centres, experienced computer literates, profitable start-ups, established businesses serving African and global clients and, most recently, a handful of African hardware companies." - Dr. Jasper Grosskurth (Director of Research & Strategy at Research Solutions Africa and author of Futures of Technology in Africa)

Discoverability and Digital ColonialismFiroze Manji
The whole continent of Africa contains only about 2.6% of the world’s geo-tagged Wikipedia articles despite having 14% of the world’s population and 20% of the world’s land.
Africa has more than 800 languages spoken amongst its various ethnic groups. However, the Internet is an ‘English’ based medium which affects the usability and content creation thereon. A vast majority of programs, applications and services continue to be provided in English thereby denying access to large swathes of the population and exacerbating the digital divide.
Africa has more countries than any other continent, but only 10 of the ccTLDs have functional registries within the African countries they belong to.
Nigeria imports 90% of all software used in the country. The local production of software is reduced to add-ons or extensions creation for mainstream packaged software.
Only around 10% of applications for the registration of intellectual property (IP) rights in Africa are made by African citizens or residents.

A paper delivered at the UNISA Open Access Seminar, 23 October 2013.
The paper argues that in a developing world context, and particularly in Africa, the narrow focus of conventional OA arguments on journal articles and an emphasis on the impact factor has been counterproductive. A wider approach, incorporating transformative uses of scholarly outputs for policy development and teaching and learning would be more appropriate.

Publishing and Alternative Licensing Models in Africa (PALM Africa) was a two-

research to explore the potential of open access and flexible and open intellectual property
licences with the aim of enhancing the impact of African publishing.
The premise of the PALM intervention was that in Africa, which needs the
development impact of knowledge production more than any other continent, the
conventional book trade – both commercial and not-for-profit – faces serious barriers
in reaching readers and creating sustainable business models.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

64. The BTMA became the subject of an anti-trust
investigation by the United States Department
of Justice in 1974. As a consequence, it was
formally terminated in 1976 by British
publishers – who continued to adopt the same
approach in individual licence agreements with
American publishers, so that the pattern
persisted until at least the end of the 20th
century (Feather 2006: 191; Bryant 1979: 371).
