Abstract

"The internet has become a battleground. Although it was unlikely to live up to the hype and hopes of the 1990s, only the most skeptical cynics could have predicted the World Wide Web as we know it today: commercial, isolating, and full of, even fueled by, bias. This was not inevitable. The Gentrification of the Internet argues that much like our cities, the internet has become gentrified, dominated by the interests of business and capital rather than the interests of the people who use it. Jessa Lingel uses the politics and debates of gentrification to diagnose the massive, systemic problems blighting our contemporary internet: erosions of privacy and individual ownership, small businesses wiped out by wealthy corporations, the ubiquitous paywall. But there are still steps we can take to reclaim the heady possibilities of the early internet. Lingel outlines actions that internet activists and everyday users can take to defend and secure more protections for the individual and to carve out more spaces of freedom for the people--not businesses--online"--

Abstract

The emergence of digital humanities has been heralded for its commitment to openness, access, and the democratizing of knowledge, but it raises a number of questions about omissions with respect to race, gender, sexuality, disability, and nation. Postcolonial digital humanities is one approach to uncovering and remedying inequalities in digital knowledge production, which is implicated in an information-age politics of knowledge.New Digital Worldstraces the formation of postcolonial studies and digital humanities as fields, identifying how they can intervene in knowledge production in the digital age. Roopika Risam examines the role of colonial violence in the development of digital archives and the possibilities of postcolonial digital archives for resisting this violence. Offering a reading of the colonialist dimensions of global organizations for digital humanities research, she explores efforts to decenter these institutions by emphasizing the local practices that subtend global formations and pedagogical approaches that support this decentering. Last, Risam attends to human futures in new digital worlds, evaluating both how algorithms and natural language processing software used in digital humanities projects produce universalist notions of the "human" and also how to resist this phenomenon.

Abstract

Jüngst war sie wieder da: die "Krise des Lesens". Doch es gibt sie noch, die Zonen, in denen Literatur auch gegenwärtig massenhaft gelesen und enthusiastisch diskutiert wird, in denen Popularität und Konsum keine Schimpfwörter sind. Die Nachrichten aus dem Literaturbetrieb scheinen dem guten alten Kulturpessimismus recht zu geben: Der Buchmarkt schrumpft, die Verlage stehen unter Druck, der stationäre Buchhandel kämpft ums Überleben und die Zeitfenster für die tägliche Lektüre werden in der Medienkonkurrenz immer kleiner. Für welche literarischen Bereiche und Lektürepraktiken aber gilt dies eigentlich? Der Sonderband zielt auf Bereiche der Gegenwartsliteratur, in denen weiterhin dicke Bücher verschlungen werden, immer noch astronomisch hohe Erstauflagen auf den Markt kommen und der Lesehunger unersättlich zu sein scheint. Die Beiträge erkunden, welche Werke besonders häufig bemerkt, gekauft, heruntergeladen, besprochen, weiterempfohlen werden. Die differenzierte Verständigung über den aktuellen Stand der literarischen Dinge soll nicht zuletzt Auskunft darüber geben, woran man sie überhaupt erkennen kann: die tatsächlich "gelesene Literatur".

Abstract

Consumption is so dominant it allows little room for alternatives. Bringing together the leading theorists and critics, the essays range across high theory and popular culture - from informational flows to science fiction simulations, from pop-cultural consumption to capitalism as religion, and to the role of 'speed' in contemporary culture.
