1. Social media has over a billion users who generate billions of posts, photos, and likes daily, driving a "gift shift" in society through user-generated content.
2. Being a "prosumer" who produces content for others' consumption can induce feeling constantly "on" as with a Panopticon, modifying one's behavior for online audiences.
3. The "call of the crowd" and seeking status through conspicuous sharing resembles a virtual "Potlatch" ceremony, with prosumers feeling obligated to keep contributing to maintain their online reputation.

We are made of information, it shapes our lives and reality. After the Fourth revolution (Floridi, 2014) our self is moulded also by data, much involuntarily generated when we use technology.
The ethical issues involved in information sharing and using affect its evaluation, fair use, privacy, openness. Educating users to awareness has always been a mission of the Reference and Information services librarians, pursuing the goal of fostering an informed and active citizenship also envisioned by the Millennium Development Goals and the UNESCO Media and Information Literacy strategy.
The same technology generating information can help govern it, disclose science to citizens, foster social justice, yet it also stimulates the spread of fake news and misinformation.
Machines do not act of their own will, they must be governed to guarantee a Human use of human beings (Wiener, 1950), this demands a multidisciplinary effort, as Wiener demonstrated.
Raising citizens’ awareness on the way algorithms work requires bridging differences in mathematicians, computer scientists, psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, economists and more: librarians and digital humanists could step in as connectors.
In 1948, upon reviewing Wiener’s Cybernetics, Dominique Dubarle provocatively advocated the advent of a “machine à gouverner”, which might do better than inept politicians. Nowadays, society is facing the problem of self-driving cars: for the first time in history, a “Moral machine” (Awad et al., 2019) will be enabled to decide on people’s lives. Some lessons could be learnt from the interdisciplinary approach of the past.
This paper will review literature, consider recent facts and offer some proposals for the renewed ethical commitment of the digital humanist and the librarian facing new technologies and bearing in mind the IFLA Code of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers.

Media Life is a course intended for undergraduate students across campus. Its goal is to make people aware of the role that media play in their everyday life. The key to understanding a "media life" is to see our lives not as lived WITH media (which would lead to a focus on media effects and media-centric theories of society), but rather IN media (where the distinction between what we do with and without media dissolves).
What's Panopticism? Exploring Digital CulturesNicola Giusto
Nicola Giusto, Ma in Digital Communication and Cultures
The University of Sydney, NSW, Australia
Ontological and political implications of Network Theory
It is self-evident how information and communications technologies play a central role in social and cultural transformations in many universes: media, language, social actors, politics and public administration, thought and space.
This paper attempts to clarify the present time, analyzing social network paradigm and its relation with the so called digital culture from a critical prospective.
In particular, it preliminary stresses the relationship between any kind of network, power, knowledge and technology (Heidegger, Foucault), then it presents a critical analysis of the most recent studies and ideas (SNT, SNA, the Small world theory, the Network effect, Innovation, Information cascade and logic of diffusion). In part III, two different kinds of realist social ontology are presented and evaluated (Latour’s work and DeLanda’s Assemblage theory) in the attempt to move towards a new philosophy of relation.
The last part explores social and political implications of living embodied in a complex global social network where governance is everyday more managed by technical protocols, apparatus and machines (Deleuze, Castells, Agamben, Galloway).

The digital divide in the post-Snowden eraIan Clark
This presentation seeks to explore the digital divide in the light of the revelations by Edward Snowden in 2013. It looks at state and corporate surveillance, the impact of these upon individual citizens with respect to the democratic process, the tools with which individuals can protect themselves, the impact of the digital divide upon the ability of the individual to ensure their intellectual privacy and what libraries and librarians are doing to bridge this particular aspect of the digital divide.
How Can Media Reconnect Us With Our Humanity? (FULL DECK)Tyrone Grandison
The media plays an important role in defining who we are, what we desire and what is acceptable (or not) in our reality.
In this talk, we discuss the current state of affairs and discuss how we improve upon it.
Do you dream of building a better organization?
* Where core values run through every part of the organization?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
7. Social media is booming!
Facebook Statistics 2012
• Facebook has one billion monthly active users
• There are over one billion Facebook posts per day
• There are 3.2 billion likes/comments per day
• There are 250 million photos uploaded each day
Twitter Statistics 2012
• There are over 470 million Twitter accounts
• Twitter is growing at a rate of 11 accounts per second
• 32 percent of all Internet users are using Twitter
8. Course description
Social media is driving a ‘gift shift’ through our societies that is impacting on
business, politics, personal and social identity in important ways.
Three phases to the shift:
• Gift shift 1.0: the 80s-90s hacker/open source movement
• Gift shift 2.0: the rise of social media
• Gift shift 3.0: the collaborative consumption/sharing movement
10. What is social media?
Kaplan and Haenlein define social media as: Web 2-based user-generated content.
They identify six types of social media:
1. Collaborative projects (e.g. Wikipedia)
2. Blogs and microblogs (e.g. Tumblr, Twitter)
3. Social networking sites (e.g. Facebook)
4. Content communities (e.g. Youtube, TripAdvisor)
5. Virtual game worlds (e.g. World of Warcraft)
6. Virtual social worlds (e.g. Second Life)
11.
12. What is a prosumer?
• Term ‘prosumer’ was coined by futurologist Alvin Toffler in The Third Wave (1980).
Toffler predicted that consumers would become active to help personally improve or
design the goods and services of the marketplace
• Don Tapscott & Anthony Williams (Wikinomics (2006)) use the term ‘prosumer’ to
encompass product hackers, bedroom DJs and remix artists, SecondLife content
creators, and user-generated media
• Prosumers: producer/consumers of user-generated online content
13. What is a prosumer?
For hundreds of millions of people, sharing content on social media is a familiar
part of life. Yet little is known about how social media is impacting on us on a
psychological level. We are still learning about how social media impacts on our
sense of personal identity.
14. The prosumer experience
Peggy Orenstein, ‘I Tweet, Therefore I Am’ (New York Times Online)
1. ‘Each Twitter post seemed a tacit referendum on
who I am, or at least who I believe myself to be’
2. ’I learned to be “on” all the time, whether
standing behind that woman at the supermarket
who sneaked three extra items into the express
check-out lane (you know who you are) or
despairing over human rights abuses against
women in Guatemala’.
16. Panopticon as ‘machine’ of control
‘[The Panopticon] induce[s] in the inmate a state of conscious and permanent
visibility that assures the automatic functioning of power’ (Foucault, DP, 201).
The sense of an implicit tribunal: we shape our behaviour in response.
18. Social media: a virtual Panopticon
Peggy Orenstein, ‘I Tweet, Therefore I Am’ (New York Times Online)
1. ‘Each Twitter post seemed a tacit referendum on
who I am, or at least who I believe myself to be.’
• ’[T]he Panopticon induce[s] in the inmate a state of
conscious and permanent visibility…’
19. Social media: a virtual Panopticon
• The result? We play to the crowd.
• Creative self-affirmation. The humourist becomes a prankster; the controversialist
an iconoclast; the salesperson a guru; the activist a revolutionary...
22. The prosumer experience
Peggy Orenstein, ‘I Tweet, Therefore I Am’ (New York Times Online)
1. ‘Each Twitter post seemed a tacit referendum on
who I am, or at least who I believe myself to be’
2. ’I learned to be “on” all the time, whether
standing behind that woman at the supermarket
who sneaked three extra items into the express
check-out lane (you know who you are) or
despairing over human rights abuses against
women in Guatemala’.
23. Call of the crowd
• We feel obliged to keep the share cycle going. We hear the call of the crowd.
24. Call of the crowd
• Prosumers feel obliged to produce product/entertainment for others to
consume. They hear the call of the crowd.
25. Call of the crowd
• Tribal values: the sense of belonging to an online tribe - a community of people
united by common values and interests
26. Call of the crowd
• Tribal values: a sense of belonging to an online tribe - a community of people
united by common values and interests
27.
28. The Potlatch ceremony
The Potlatch – a gift giving ceremony
• A chief or leader would gather their tribe together and present them with a massive
gift of food, blankets, furs, weapons, canoes, and crafts.
• Gifters seek reputational status. The more they give, the greater the prestige
29. Social media: a virtual Potlatch
• Add your gifts to the common pool
• On social media, we play a reputation
game that hinges on the question:
• ‘Who can give the greatest gifts?’
30. Social media: a virtual Potlatch
• Gift-giving should be empowering
• If it depletes you, you are doing it wrong
31. Find your tribe
• Different social media sites attract different crowds: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter…
33. The prismatic self
• Social media creates a prismatic self, where segments
of identity are cultivated in distinction from one another
Sherry Turkle, Alone Together (2011)
• Audrey: experiments in self-expression
‘Each day Audrey expresses herself through a group
of virtual personae. There are Facebook and Italian
MySpace profiles; there are avatars in virtual
worlds, some chat rooms, and a handful of online
games. Identity involves negotiating between all of
these and the physical Audrey’ .
Turkle, Alone Together, 194.
34. The prismatic self
Nomadism: exploration of different identities and experiences
• Sites support aspects of self: Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter…
35. In sum: the prosumer experience
1. On social media, we post and share in public
• Affirm your authentic potential. Give the best of what you can be. Never forget that
you are engaging in a performance, but take it seriously - it reflects on you.
36. In sum: the prosumer experience
2. Different sites have different crowds with different expectations of value
• Find the crowd that enables you to be who you are, with whom you can be at your
best. Creatively affirm your authentic person and give it to your tribe.
For hundreds of millions of people, sharing content across a range of social media services is a familiar part of life. Yet little is known about how social media is impacting us on a psychological level. A wealth of commentators are exploring how social media is refiguring forms of economic activity, reshaping our institutions, and transforming our social and organizational practices. We are still learning about how social media impacts on our sense of personal identity.
