1. Reconfiguring Publishing

   301. Reconfiguring Publishing

   Friday, 6 January, 1:45-3:00 p.m., Grand A Sheraton

   An Electronic Roundtable Exhibiting the Future(s) of Publishing

   Presiding: Carolyn Guertin, Univ. of Texas, Arlington; William Thompson, Western Illinois Univ.

   This session intends not to bury publishing but to raise awareness of its transformations and continuities as it reconfigures itself. New platforms are causing publishers to return to their roots as booksellers while booksellers are once again becoming publishers. Open-access models of publishing are creating new models for content creation and distribution as small print-focused presses are experiencing a renaissance. Come see!

2. The Save Button Ruined Everything

   Jason Scott is a man on a mission — save all the things.

   But what does “save” mean in the modern world, in the waterfall of personal and private data, and where do we even begin? Turning on the history-o-matic, Jason provides a backdrop to our attempts to “save”, what has been done, and what we can do. The talk will be fast-paced and loud, like a hard drive at the end of its life.

4. DIY: reinvent the world by reinventing the language (Interview with Florian Cramer)

   Florian Cramer's thought is justly (in)famous. From early provocative studies of combinatorial language's roots in antiquity and alchemy ("Words Made Flesh"), Cramer has segued into a concern with DIY culture.

   For Cramer, DIY is the natural extension of utopian renegades, social and cultural outliers whose play was not formal but utopian.

   Any renovation of language constitutes a renovation of cognition and subsequently culture itself; even as the possibility for everyone to publish through networked media questions the notion of the literary. Furthermore, 4chan image memes are digital poems, language transformed through practice with the aim of transforming practice.

   Consider yourself expanded.
