Abstract

Mit der Einführung des Personal Computers Ende der 1970er-Jahre wurde ein neuer Markt für Konsument_innen von Computertechnologie geschaffen. Im Gegensatz zu den vorherrschenden Erzählungen über geniale Erfinder, tüchtige Unternehmer und Visionäre der Computerkultur im Silicon Valley nimmt Sophie Ehrmanntraut auch jenen Teil der amerikanischen Gesellschaft in den Blick, der Computer bis dahin nur aus den Nachrichten oder Science-Fiction-Romanen kannte. Ihre Studie zeigt: Die ersten Reaktionen der potenziellen Kundschaft waren ernüchternd - der Umgang mit Computern musste gelernt werden. Doch nicht zuletzt gezieltes Marketing verwandelte schließlich die Rechenmaschine vom selektiven Arbeitsinstrument zum Massenmedium der Informationsgesellschaft.

O-Ton: »Technologische Entwicklung bedarf der kritischen Reflexion« - Sophie Ehrmanntraut im Interview mit L.I.S.A. Wissenschaftsportal der Gerda Henkel Stiftung.

Abstract

Comme beaucoup, vous êtes passionnée ou passionné par l’explosion de données numériques à laquelle nous assistons aujourd’hui, qui nous promet des avancées économiques, sociales et culturelles de tous ordres. Et en même temps, vous restez dubitative ou dubitatif sur les façons de vous approprier tous ces nombres, de reprendre le contrôle sur ce nouveau vocabulaire parfois surprenant, sinon abscons. Ce livre peut vous aider à explorer le monde des données ! Les données d’aujourd’hui prennent appui sur une longue et passionnante histoire de la statistique et de ses outils qui nous permet de leur donner sens, que l’on soit spécialiste ou pas. Les chapitres sont regroupés en dix parties, dont l’ordonnancement donne une direction générale à l’ouvrage, qui est chrono-thématique : on part des plus anciennes données retrouvées (à Sumer) pour arriver en fin d’ouvrage au monde contemporain, et à chaque étape on aborde une question relative aux données (qu’est-ce que la corrélation ? un événement rare ? un bon graphique ? …). Une grande liberté proposée par ce livre est qu’il n’est pas nécessaire de le lire linéairement.

Abstract

Studios are, at once, material environments and symbolic forms, sites of artistic creation and physical labor, and nodes in networks of resource circulation. They are architectural places that generate virtual spaces—worlds built to build worlds. Yet, despite being icons of corporate identity, studios have faded into the background of critical discourse and into the margins of film and media history. In response, In the Studio demonstrates that when we foreground these worlds, we gain new insights into moving-image culture and the dynamics that quietly mark the worlds on our screens. Spanning the twentieth century and moving globally, this unique collection tells new stories about studio icons—Pinewood, Cinecittà, Churubusco, and CBS—as well as about the experimental workplaces of filmmakers and artists from Aleksandr Medvedkin to Charles and Ray Eames and Hollis Frampton.

Abstract

How craigslist champions openness, democracy, and other vanishing principles of the early webBegun by Craig Newmark as an e-mail to some friends about cool events happening around San Francisco, craigslist is now the leading classifieds service on the planet. It is also a throwback to the early internet. The website has barely seen an upgrade since it launched in 1996. There are no banner ads. The company doesn't profit off your data. An Internet for the People explores how people use craigslist to buy and sell, find work, and find love—and reveals why craigslist is becoming a lonely outpost in an increasingly corporatized web.Drawing on interviews with craigslist insiders and ordinary users, Jessa Lingel looks at the site's history and values, showing how it has mostly stayed the same while the web around it has become more commercial and far less open. She examines craigslist's legal history, describing the company's courtroom battles over issues of freedom of expression and data privacy, and explains the importance of locality in the social relationships fostered by the site. More than an online garage sale, job board, or dating site, craigslist hold vital lessons for the rest of the web. It is a website that values user privacy over profits, ease of use over slick design, and an ethos of the early web that might just hold the key to a more open, transparent, and democratic internet.
