The document discusses digital preservation of cultural heritage. It analyzes the advantages and limitations of digital preservation according to Innis' media bias theory. Digital media can help preserve cultural heritage by capturing tangible and intangible aspects, ensuring integrity and convenience of access. However, digital materials are vulnerable to loss and damage over time due to fragile storage media and technological obsolescence. The uniqueness of art is also tied to cultural traditions that are living and changing.

Share Copy: Arts and Humanities DH Presentation October 2016
This document summarizes a presentation on digital humanities given by Dr. Jennifer Dellner in October 2016. It defines digital humanities as the intersection of computing and humanities disciplines, involving the investigation and presentation of information in electronic form. It provides examples of digital humanities in practice, including open access textbooks, digital archives and exhibitions, e-literature, student projects, video games, and text analysis tools. The presentation demonstrates how digital tools can be used to study and engage with the humanities.
Digital Documents, Histories and Archives in the 21st century
This document discusses the changing nature of archival collections and practices in the digital age. It notes that archives now contain analog, digitized, and born-digital materials. Additionally, it explores how social media like Twitter are producing large amounts of short, born-digital documents that provide new perspectives on events but raise issues around preservation and value. The document also examines the PMAN Twitter archive as a case study of how it captured a protest from many views. It argues short documents can illuminate diverse views if policies support archiving them.

Lecture given on Thursday 6th May to first years on History module "Creating and Consuming History", encouraging them to think about the possibilities of digitisation in museums (the heritage sector/historical research), and the benefits and otherwise of some of the tools currently available.
“Library spaces in the knowledge society – knotting together global and local”
This document discusses the role of libraries in knowledge societies. It notes that knowledge has become a main factor of social disparity and power is based on expertise. It also examines paradoxes in knowledge societies like the more context-free information exists, the more important context-bound knowledge becomes. The document discusses public spaces and how libraries serve as representative, appreciative, and social spaces. It also looks at how libraries can link local and global networks by providing both physical and virtual spaces and resources.

Networked Possibilities
The document discusses how new technologies and social networks allow for more open, connected, and social forms of learning through increased access to tools, content, and connections with other users. It outlines many different web tools that can be used for publishing, communication, collaboration, and accessing multimedia content and describes how these networked possibilities may impact teaching, learning, and society more broadly. The concluding section encourages the reader to engage with these ideas and technologies through blogging, wikis, tweets, connections with others, gathering and synthesizing information, and then personalizing and sharing their work.
G325 sec. b colletive identity l11 blog
This document summarizes key points from a lesson about teenagers and online identity. It discusses how the rise of the internet and Web 2.0 has led to debates around convergence of technologies and digital identity construction. It provides explanations of convergence from Jenkins and discusses how identities are constructed online, using examples like social media profiles and fan communities. Henry Jenkins' concepts of participatory culture are outlined, including affiliations, expressions, collaborative problem-solving, and circulations in online spaces.

Media Access
The key points of the document are:
1) Control over media content and experiences is established through intellectual property rights like copyright, copyleft, and Creative Commons licenses.
2) There is an ongoing integration of computing, telecommunications, and media, with the internet moving into all other media forms.
3) Digital divides exist in terms of motivations, resources, skills, and usage, and these divides often reflect existing social and cultural differences.

Produsing Historical Narratives
The document discusses the concept of "produsage" which refers to the collaborative creation and sharing of knowledge and content online. It provides several links to resources on topics like historical narratives, eyewitness memory, and the fundamentals of innovation. It also shares a quote about collisions between people's preferences and expectations in life and the choices they are willing to make.
DelRio-Humanidades digitales y big data
This document discusses digital humanities, including its interdisciplinary nature, dynamic dialogue between emerging technologies and humanities research, and construction of "boundary objects" that have different meanings in different contexts but a common structure. It provides examples of digital humanities projects involving text analysis, metadata, and data visualization. It also addresses issues around humanities data sources, quantification, distant reading, and enrichment and interpretation of data.
Intro to multimedia research project
This document introduces a multi-media research project aimed at exploring how literacy is changing in the 21st century. It notes that literacy now encompasses more than just reading and writing, and includes skills for navigating new technologies and multimedia formats. The document discusses how literacy involves multiple modes like visuals, sounds, and gestures. It also emphasizes that students need to be able to both consume and produce different forms of multimedia content. The goal of the project is to help students develop the wide range of literacy abilities needed to engage in today's digitally connected world.

Digital technologies and traditional Cultural Expressions: A Positive Look at a Difficult Relationship
Invitation to danish culture days
This document announces a two-day seminar on "The Art of Being a Citizen" hosted by several Danish organizations in Vilnius, Lithuania from October 11-12, 2013. The seminar will explore how associations can contribute to an open and inclusive society through roundtable discussions and presentations from stakeholders in Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Ukraine. On the first day, the focus will be on innovation in association life, with a keynote from the president of the EAEA. The second day will discuss freedom of expression and the role of associations in promoting peace and community development. The goal is to inspire cooperation across the Baltic region and Belarus on specific projects.
OER: Open Educational Resources (Iowa 1:1)
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) which are educational materials and resources that are freely available and can be reused, improved and redistributed. It lists several examples of OER including WikiBooks, the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives, iTunes U, Lit2Go and YouTube EDU. It also discusses open-source learning management systems like Moodle and Sakai as well as the Xerte project for creating reusable learning objects. The document advocates for using these open resources to provide personalized learning opportunities for students.
Beyond technological determinism
duThe language we use to describe news media landscape is inadequate
More and more news organisations exist for which we have no simple words
This model refers to the macro media landscape. Two axes. Plotting voice along the vertical axis and intent across the horizontal: the two elements we think determine how to identify or describe a news outlet in the media landscape
Macro voice
Attempting to plot determinates for news organisations based on how the voice changes from being packaged, edited, refined at the bottom to being a stream of conscious at the top. This is one of the most visible changes of the new media age – the range of voice used to communicate teh news is changing because the technology has given access to the non-professionally-trained and accredited news creators.
Macro intent
The second axis on macro is the horizontal axis which determines the intent the organisation (or in the case of branded individuals, the person) has. We recognised that even with the examples presented today, the intent they are acting as a news organisations plays a large part in determining their position in the media landscape.
The right-hand side of this axis represents the traditional western model of journalistic organisations as disinterested observers of, and commenters on, events of the day, what the Americans would call ‘objective’ journalism, and whose focus is on those things considered under ‘traditonal news values’. This includes both commercial and public actors; although state propaganda bodies are not specifically accounted for in this model, they would lie on the right because they tend to express their intent in such ways, and their content is within traditional news values even if their angle on the content is not objective or disinterested.
On the left of this axis are those organisations which use journalistic means and forms to further an agenda beyond simply observing, those that are ‘activist groups using the media’. It is important to note that the extremes of this axis are more ideals than realities – there is no such thing as the perfect objective and disinterested newsroom, and on the extreme left would be purely activist organisations, not really news organisations.
This axis does not represent a true change wrought by the age of the Internet, news organisations have always moved along this axis. Thomas Payne would have occupied a place on the left of this axis, and in fact, it is only in the mid twentieth-century that the right-hand side began to be populated. The Internet has, however, increased the range and scope of organisations on the left of the axis, and there are more, and more popular groups, there than previously, and the scope of their impact has increased.
we have also then designed a micro model which reflects the individual journalists and how they interact with source and output
without this model how can students or professionals understand the media lanscape...
Technology and Organisations
The document discusses different perspectives on the relationship between technology and society, including:
1) The determinist perspective that technology directly causes social change. This "magic bullet" view is criticized for ignoring how social factors shape technology.
2) Social determinism and constructivism argue that technology reflects and is shaped by social forces like power structures, user needs, and cultural values.
3) Marxist perspectives see technology as a means for capitalist control through deskilling workers and increased surveillance.
4) The social constructivist view is that different social groups interpret and develop technology in different ways based on their unique perspectives and priorities.
PresentationSandra
While social media helped spread information and organize protests during the Arab Spring, it was ultimately offline human action that drove revolution. The paper discusses how Twitter emerged as a coordination tool for Tunisian and Egyptian protests in 2011, but traditional media and face-to-face communication remained more important for informing people. The Egyptian government attempted to limit social media's influence by shutting down internet access, but this had the effect of driving more people into the streets to protest. The conclusion is that technology alone does not cause revolution; it takes real human beings standing together through direct action to overthrow authoritarian regimes.
Understanding and capitalizing on the social media revolution
Social media can help organizations communicate more quickly, reach wider audiences, deepen engagement through online communities, generate conversations to drive change, and bring together groups working towards similar goals. To benefit, organizations need a plan that establishes goals, identifies target audiences, and determines the right social media tools and message. Social media works best when organizations engage in conversations, monitor impacts, and adjust their approach over time.
Tumblr Opening
This document provides instructions for a group activity where students will take and post pictures to Tumblr with captions as part of a class on digital media and technological determinism. The instructions tell the group to pick a name, elect a timekeeper, then have members take photos using the iPad camera, add captions, and post them to the group's Tumblr page.

This document summarizes the Dublin Canvas street art project in Dublin, Ireland. It transformed 190 traffic light control boxes from graffiti-covered eyesores into outdoor art galleries by commissioning local artists to decorate them. Dublin Canvas has become a popular public art collection that beautifies the city and features works representing various themes like music, community, and surrealism. It began as a small experiment but has grown significantly, helping to make Dublin less grey and more vibrant through colorful and creative street-level art.

Debating Theories of Determinism:
The document discusses theories of determinism and how technology impacts cultural uniformity. While pre-fabricated houses epitomized standardization, technology also allowed homeowners to express individuality. Additionally, the internet strengthened cultural values rather than undermining them. The document asks whether advancements in technology lead to homogeneous societies and provides examples like mass production and the internet that both encourage and discourage uniformity.
Social Construction Of Technology
The document provides an overview of the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) framework proposed by Trevor Pinch and Wiebe Bijker. It discusses the authors and key aspects of SCOT such as interpretative flexibility, closure mechanisms, and the connection between closure and society. Criticisms of SCOT from scholars such as Langdon Winner and alternatives like Technological Determinism are also summarized. Finally, e-learning is presented as a case study for applying SCOT analysis.
Comm 145 Final Paper #1
The document is a research paper that discusses media theory, specifically examining the theories of Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan. It provides an overview of several academic articles that analyze aspects of media theory. One article examines why Innis switched his focus from economics to communications. Another evaluates whether McLuhan's concept of a global village is becoming reality. A third argues that Innis' conception of media may be more valid than McLuhan's ideas. The research paper discusses how the articles relate to and support different aspects of media theory.

Social Constructivism, Technological Determinism, Technological Momentum
The document discusses different perspectives on the relationship between technology and society:
- Technological determinism argues that technology influences society.
- Social constructivism argues that society influences technology.
- A moderate view is that technology and society influence each other.
It also discusses how the meaning and use of technologies can be interpreted differently by different groups, and how social influences on technology may decrease over time as a technology gains widespread adoption and momentum.
CCR 633: Technological Determinism notes
The document discusses several views of technological determinism:
1) It defines technological determinism as the belief that technological changes have a greater influence on societies than any other factor.
2) It presents two views of technological determinism - a "hard" view that imbues technology with near-absolute agency, and a "soft" view that sees technology responding to social pressures.
3) It discusses three faces of technological determinism put forward by Bruce Bimber - normative, nomological, and unintended consequences.
Technological determinism and behaviour change
Technological determinism is the belief that technology drives societal change, but this view became less popular in the 1990s. While technology does shape human communication and behavior to some degree, the extent and ways it does so depend on various circumstances. Early tool use transformed human abilities and may have contributed to brain development. Whether and how technology impacts behavior results from an interplay of technological, social, and cultural factors. While technology can make actions easier through features like self-monitoring and social sharing, predicting its effects is difficult due to human variability in adoption and use of technology. Behavioral design must consider this unpredictability.
Thinking About Technology
Presentation for a guest lecture for a colleague's Media History and Contemporary Issues course. She wanted me to cover technological determinism and social constructivism, as well as through in some content about my research on multitasking and online reading.
Social Construction of Technology
The is a brief presentation on the central tenets of Bikjer and Pinch's theory on significant factors at play in forming, developing, adopting, and establishing sociotechnical objects.
Technological Determinism
1) Technological determinism argues that technology radically shapes human thought, culture, and society through new communication mediums.
2) McLuhan analyzed how different eras like oral, literate, print, and electronic ages relied on different dominant communication mediums that changed human existence.
3) McLuhan believed each new medium supersedes the previous one and has wide-ranging effects beyond the messages or content it conveys, with the "medium is the message."
Technological Determinism
This lecture looks at Determinism and Technological Determinism. This lecture is part of the Media and Cultural Theories module on the MSc and MA in Creative Technology and Creative Games at The University of Salford.
Is technology the message?
Lecture slides on McLuhan lecture for ARIN2600 Technocultures at the University of Sydney. This explores McLuhan's probing approach to media, which positions technology as an extension of human faculties. By implication, changes in media / technology change what it is to be human. McLuhan remains a controversial, but influential figure in media and new media studies.
Coms 2003 toronto school
Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan were influential scholars from the Toronto School who studied the impact of communication technologies on civilization. Innis introduced the concepts of "time-biased" and "space-biased" media and analyzed how forms of communication shaped societies. He also developed the idea of the "monopoly of knowledge" to show how media affects knowledge distribution. McLuhan expanded on these ideas, arguing that "the medium is the message" because communication technologies influence social structures and human interaction more than the content they convey. He analyzed how oral, written, printed, and electronic media each shaped different eras of civilization.
Technological Determinism
McLuhan was a media theorist who believed that media are extensions of human senses and faculties. His most famous work explored how the characteristics of different media shape society. Technological determinism asserts that a society's technology drives cultural and social changes. The movie Inception depicts dreams as extensions of the subconscious mind. Advanced technology allows people to share and explore dreams on deeper levels. Totems help distinguish reality from dreams, while projections are extensions of the subconscious that respond violently if threatened. The film shows how technology can be used to overcome limitations like death but may also risk becoming trapped in endless dreams.

Materiality and the digital archive
1) The digital archive complicates notions of materiality and the relationship between the physical and digital. Digitization disrupts traditional hierarchies of archives by making materials more accessible and mutable.
2) Media archaeology approaches the digital archive through studying the histories of different media and technologies. It examines how digital archives operate as dynamic networks and social platforms rather than static stores of history.
3) As physical archives become digitized, concepts of the archive are shifting from places that freeze time and regulate access/use, to archives that are in constant motion and allow for remixing. The boundaries between archive and database are also blurring.

Binding Time Harold Innis And The Balance Of New Media
This document discusses the work and ideas of Canadian communications theorist Harold Innis and the extent to which his concepts about media still apply today. Innis explored how different media relate to space and time, distinguishing between space-binding media like newspapers and radio that facilitate rapid change over distances, and time-binding media like oral traditions and manuscripts that influence cultural patterns over long durations. The document examines how digital media both accelerate globalization and structure relationships with the past and future, and whether digitized cultural records can seem virtualized or still retain materiality.
The Catholic Church in the age of Digital Formats
The nature of our age demands that the Catholic Church produces documents, and communicates, digitally, more and more every year. So far, however, very little attention has been paid to whether the usual, mainstream tools that many others already use are, indeed, technically suitable for the Church. Or if mainstream legal formulas and licenses are the most effective ones. These slides of mine from 2013 address all these issues.
Digital Research – why we are here, what we have, what we can do for you
This document discusses digital research projects at the British Library. It provides examples of past projects that analyzed large datasets using computational tools to gain new insights. These include analyzing misinformation spread on Twitter during a crisis and quantifying patterns of use in medieval manuscripts. The document emphasizes the potential for interdisciplinary, collaborative projects and notes the convergence of technology and culture in the emerging digital humanities field. Examples of current and potential future projects are also mentioned.

The Social Use of Digital History (presentation)
This document discusses how digital technologies have created new forms of engaging with history outside of traditional academic institutions. It outlines how citizen historians and amateur groups are able to independently research, share, and discuss historical information online. These grassroots digital history projects allow for more decentralized curation and participation from users. Networks of social digital archives also aim to rescue and promote local historical heritage. Wikis, online communities, and digital archives now enable new types of commemorating that support discussion over dominant narratives and inclusion of diverse interpretations of the past.
From digital to social collections. A short story of collections online.
Digital collections have evolved from being object-oriented to being people-oriented. Early digital collections in the 1960s-2000s focused on digitization, cataloging and making collections available online. However, even then there was a recognition that digital collections should serve communities of users and prioritize searchability. The rise of web 2.0 in the 2000s enabled greater user participation, sharing and social interactions around digital collections. This led museums to embrace more open and inclusive digital collections. Now, digital curators work to make collections discoverable, meaningful, responsive and interoperable through the use of standards and by facilitating connections between collections, users and communities.

Data Harmonisation for Ethical Collaborative Research: The ResearchSpace Project
This document discusses the history of data harmonization efforts in museums from the 18th century to present day. It notes that early museum collections combined natural and artificial objects without strict categorization. In the 19th century, specialization led to division and silos within museums. Recent digital efforts have struggled with standardization and allowing different perspectives to coexist. The document advocates for a contextual approach to data harmonization using the CIDOC CRM to allow unique collections and viewpoints while also enabling interoperability and new research questions across institutions.
Week10presentation
Harold Innis theorized that media can be either time-biased or space-biased. Time-biased media, like stone and clay, aim to preserve knowledge over long periods of time. Space-biased media, like paper and papyrus, aim to distribute knowledge over wide areas but are less durable. Innis was concerned that 20th century media like radio and newspapers were more space-biased. While he did not live to see computers, his theories remain relevant to digital media. Storage is an ongoing issue as digital data is at risk of degradation, corruption, and disappearance over time. Data also becomes obsolete quickly as technology advances and new systems become incompatible with old data formats. This could
EVOLUTION OF TRADITIONAL AND NEW MEDIA.pptx
This document provides information about traditional and new media. It includes objectives for a lesson on identifying different forms of media from prehistoric to modern times. Students are asked to create a timeline showing their exposure to traditional and new media. The document outlines an activity where students complete a data retrieval chart identifying different media by era. They are provided examples of media forms from prehistoric to information ages. Finally, students are given an evaluation that involves writing an essay about how media affects their lives.
Beauty Amidst the Bytes_ Unearthing Unexpected Advantages of the Digital Wast...
The document discusses how T.S. Eliot's modernist poem "The Waste Land" has found a new form of expression through an online hypertext adaptation, revealing unexpected advantages within the digital "wasteland" of the internet. The hypertext version allows for interactive exploration of the poem through annotations and multimedia elements, enhancing engagement. It also facilitates deeper understanding through archaeological excavation of the poem's historical and cultural references. While the adaptation has some limitations like restricting interpretation, it overall transforms the digital wasteland into a fertile ground for creativity, exploration, and cultural preservation.
New media
The document discusses the impact of new media technologies on traditional or "old" media. It notes that while some have argued that old media is dying, reports of its death may be exaggerated as old media still effectively reaches mass audiences. New media is leading to de-territorialized communities and more decentralized organizations, with a proliferation of diverse narratives rather than single narratives of objectivity. Historical examples show that new media in the past was used for campaigning but power structures tried to reassert control through taxation and regulation.
Comparative Literature in the Age of Digital Humanities _ On Possible Future ...
1.The changes brought about by new communication technologies are as profound and sweeping as the invention of print and the discovery of the New World. We are in a major transitional moment in history.
2. These technologies have both liberatory potential through democratizing information, but also a dangerous capacity for control and violence. There is an inescapable dialectical tension.
3. Humanists must involve themselves in debates about digital culture and technology to ensure corporate interests do not dominate these spaces and our cultural legacy.
4. We need new critical methods and conceptual understandings to grapple with digital texts and culture, which transform assumptions about mediation, authorship, discourse, etc.
5. The article puts forth comparative media studies, data studies, and authorship/platform studies as three avenues for a future comparative literature adapted to the digital age.
6. Models like Wikipedia illustrate the power of open, collaborative knowledge production. Institutions like universities need to think about how to integrate these models into learning.

The evolution of traditional to new media (2)
This document examines the evolution of media and communication technologies across four ages: pre-industrial, industrial, electronic, and information. In the pre-industrial age before 1700, people communicated through cave paintings, clay tablets, and papyrus. During the industrial age from 1700-1930, developments like the printing press, newspapers, telephones, film, and telegraph provided new ways to communicate and share information. The electronic age from 1930-1980 saw inventions like the transistor radio, television, computers, and fax machines that used electronic technology. Finally, the information age from 1980 onward has been defined by digital technologies and the internet that allows instant communication globally through devices, websites, apps, and social media
Weekone
The document provides an introduction to new media. It discusses definitions of new media as multimedia delivered through computers. It explores how new media is shaped by people, culture and economics. The document outlines the aims of new media lectures as providing context, introducing concepts and applying theories. It discusses the historical origins of new media in counterculture movements and defense research. New media is analyzed through considering whether the experience of online communities differs from real ones and how interactivity impacts authority.
Armageddon
- The new challenge for preserving cultural records is no longer ensuring access to scarce information, but how to collect, manage, and make sense of the explosion of digital information being created, as individuals now create 75% of all new information.
- Archivists and records managers must think of cultural artifacts as data that can be manipulated and reused to tell stories, rather than physical objects.
- Collaborating to build a shared cyberinfrastructure across organizations in Connecticut will help ensure the long-term preservation and access to digital assets from all communities, and connect local collections to larger national and global aggregations.
Digital Public History
Digital public history utilizes new communication technologies like computers and the web to examine and represent the past to wider audiences. It draws on features of the digital realm like databases, hyperlinks, and networks to create and share historical knowledge. Digital public history aims to make history accessible to the public outside of academic environments through collaborative projects and various digital platforms and tools. It can democratize history by incorporating more voices and encouraging public participation. Some key aspects of digital public history include creating digital archives, using crowdsourcing, developing online exhibitions, and engaging communities through shared digital spaces.
