    <title>Programmes | Countering Time: In Conversation with Lee Weng Choy, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Merve Ünsal | Asia Art Archive</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Join us for a conversation about the immeasurability of time with Lee Weng Choy, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Merve Ünsal—four artists and writers who have created new work for AAA’s upcoming exhibition, Countering Time.  

How does time resist precise measurement? How does it counter and elude while remaining numbered at the same time? This conversation invites the participating artists and writers to discuss ideas of archival time, impermanence, ghosts, and artistic speculation. They speak about their own artworks as well as personal and shared references, including films and poems. 

This event marks the opening of Countering Time, an exhibition featuring new works by Lee Weng Choy, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Merve Ünsal. Ünsal uses her body to record a centuries-old sinkhole where human and geological time collapse. Leung bends and folds the afterlives of a moment captured in a 1967 photograph from Hong Kong. Porras-Kim traces recollections of lost works and archives. Lee uses personal annotations to mark time. Together, they tune in, refract, exhume, and annotate artworks, archival records, and past events, demonstrating how archives are sites of imagination instead of final resting places of historical records.

Lee Weng Choy is an art critic based in Kuala Lumpur. His essays have appeared in journals such as Afterall and anthologies such as Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art (2012), Theory in Contemporary Art since 1985 (2012), and The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Art in Global Asia (2022). From 2000 to 2009, he was Artistic Co-Director of The Substation in Singapore. Lee has taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Singapore. He has worked with various arts organisations, including in-tangible institute, Ilham Gallery, A+ Works of Art, NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, and National Gallery Singapore.  

Simon Leung is an artist based in Brooklyn and Los Angeles. He studied at the University of California Los Angeles, Columbia University, and the Whitney Independent Study Program. His projects include The Side of the Mountain, an ongoing opera set in Los Angeles; a decades-long collaboration with the late Warren Niesłuchowski; art-workers’ theatre (ACTIONS! at the Kitchen, 2013; and ACTIONS!/ADJUNCTS! at the Hammer Museum, 2016); and extended enactments of and meditations on the squatting body, often in relation to Hong Kong, his birthplace. He is Professor and New Genres Area Head at the University of California, Irvine. With Zoya Kocur, he edited Theory in Contemporary Art since 1985 (2nd Edition, 2012).  

Gala Porras-Kim is an artist based in Los Angeles and London. Recently, she held solo exhibitions at Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City; Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo, Sevilla; Fowler Museum, Los Angeles; The Kadist and Amant Foundation, New York; Gasworks, London; Leeum Museum and National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul. She was a Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University (2019), the Artist in Residence at the Getty Research Institute (2020–22). Her work has been included in the Whitney Biennial and Ural Industrial Biennial (2019), the Gwangju and Sao Paulo Biennales (2021), and Liverpool Biennial (2023).  

Merve Ünsal is an artist based in Istanbul and Santa Cruz. Most recently, she held a solo exhibition, Intimations, at AVTO (Istanbul, 2024). She is the Founding Editor of m-est.org, a publication focused on artist-centred publishing. She has participated in the learning programme Homework Space at Ashkal Alwan, Beirut; and artist residency programmes at the Delfina Foundation, London; Praksis, Oslo; Fogo Island Arts; Art Metropole, Toronto; and University of Delaware, Lewes. She received her MFA from Parsons School of Design in Photography and Related Media, and her BA from Princeton University in Art and Archaeology. She is currently a PhD candidate in the Film and Digital Media Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. 

Countering Time is curated by Özge Ersoy, Rebecca Tso, Ruby Weatherall, and Lily Wong, with support from Paul C. Fermin, Christopher K. Ho, Hazel Kwok, Christy Li, Sneha Ragavan, and Anthony Yung. We would like to thank our Curatorial Intern Ember Ye.

"Our daily lives are structured by measurements of time. Calendar systems track the passage of weeks, months, and years, while clocks divide days into hours, minutes, and seconds. Yet, time, as we experience it, resists precise measurement—it can slow down, stretch, accelerate, or even spiral. As an art archive, we are interested in this tension between precision and elusiveness. We often ask ourselves if historical events and art histories have definitive beginnings and endings. And how might artists counter strict chronologies? 

Countering Time has grown out of discussions with four artists and writers over the course of six months. The exhibition presents new works by Merve Ünsal, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Lee Weng Choy, who speculate on the immeasurability of time. Merve Ünsal uses her body to record a centuries-old sinkhole where human and geological time collapse. Simon Leung bends and folds the afterlives of a moment captured in a 1967 photograph from Hong Kong. Gala Porras-Kim traces recollections of lost works and archives. Lee Weng Choy uses personal annotations to mark time. Together, they tune in, refract, exhume, and annotate artworks, archival records, and past events, demonstrating how archives are sites of imagination instead of final resting places of historical records."

"In Prompts & Annotations, eight participants provide a prompt to Lee Weng Choy, who responds with numbered annotations. Lee’s texts layer and build-up, allowing connections to form freely and coincidentally, such as between materials in the archive. By adding to that which exists, Lee reminds us that the conversation around a piece of writing, an artwork, or an archival record, can always be restarted. This work builds on his long-term interest in writing about friendship as a marker of time, scale, and perspective— “how one fits into one’s world,” be it a community, a city, a recent event, a distant past, or a galaxy.

Prompts & Annotations is part of the exhibition Countering Time held at Asia Art Archive from 27 September 2024 to 1 March 2025. The exhibition features new works by four artists and writers who speculate on the immeasurability of time. Lee Weng Choy, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Merve Ünsal tune in, refract, exhume, and annotate artworks, archival records, and past events, demonstrating how archives are sites of imagination instead of final resting places of historical records. This publication includes the first four of the eight texts in Prompts & Annotations."

"This week’s question author Özge Ersoy (Hong Kong), is senior curator at Asia Art Archive (AAA) in Hong Kong. Ersoy brought in a question from AAA’s recent exhibition, Countering Time, which extends this inquiry, and includes “artistic propositions about the afterlives of sinkholes, artworks, archival records, and artistic collaborations” by the artists Merve Ünsal, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Lee Weng Choy. The formulation of the question “How long is ‘now’?” came through Raqs Media Collective in one of their recent works, and a lecture they offered on the topic at AAA is presented as the first link by Ersoy."

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["A little while ago, I asked people to tell me about their preferred annotation practices. I am not a very nosey person, and I don’t care much about the mental processes of other artists or scholars, but I am powerless to resist the idiosyncratic material culture that arises from a particular writer going about their work.

I don’t care if you commune with the spirits or how many drafts you do or don’t do. I don’t care if your stories begin with a character or a question. I don’t care if you outline or let the muse guide you. I really, truly, truly do not care. Tell me about your pencils. Your notebooks. Do you draw margins on the right-hand side? If so, how wide? Do you use a special paper? Do you have a favorite eraser? Lately, I’ve been thinking about getting a paperweight—do you have one? Can I see it? Talk to me about your folders. I’m partial to the tri-fold ones common to Canada and Europe.

In some ways, this is deeply prosaic and pointless. It’s hard to imagine that you need this exact kind of eraser to make your writing good. Because you don’t, actually. However, I do like hearing about the ways people have made a comfortable, cozy corner inside of their process. The ways they’ve made their process material, solid. Maybe it’s bad to admit this, but I’m not interested in any writer’s life outside of what kind of fountain pen they use. Don’t tell me anything else, I don’t want to know—it’s boring.

Notetaking sits at an intersection between the material and the nonmaterial in writing, being both a physical process and a mental process. For a long time, I didn’t really take notes as I read. I didn’t know how. But over the years, I built a process of notetaking that was mostly underlining and writing gay in the margins. This process was sufficient for my needs at the time: consuming works and laughing at them as I read. I wasn’t writing criticism or writing essays that had a significant aspect of research or analysis. I was writing little personal essays of which I was the subject and the main source of ideas. Again, this was fine because the scale of my nonfiction projects was always personal and there wasn’t some huge need for me to read five books and then craft an argument. My essays were about how sad I was, and I didn’t need a source for that.

However, my needs have changed. I am writing more criticism now. I write reviews. I also give lectures and talks. I teach classes. All of this requires a bit more organization and thought than writing lol gay in the margins. It also requires more detailed recall of the information I am reading, and more analysis too. I am also writing my first long piece of nonfiction—a book of literary criticism. I don’t want to write a book of criticism that doesn’t have any books in it. I would like to write the kind of literary criticism that has moved me over the last couple of years, a book rich with reference and analysis and close reading rather than a series of witty bon mots and descriptions of art and a pathological fear of being uncool or too literary.

I recognized that this would require a more robust annotation practice than I have. I took to social media and asked people how they went about their own annotating and research. Most people came back with some version of I underline and make margin notes. At first, I despaired because I do that! I do! I underline! I underline (perhaps too much sometimes, but I can at least acknowledge when I do that!) and jot in the margins.

Then I watched a few videos on YouTube about “how to take notes” and this one guy, a philosophy YouTuber (he’s plain-looking, but light-haired and nerdy, and I need him kinda bad, ngl, but he’s straight and married, which seems to be the only kind of man I can feel physical attraction toward, unfortunately), explained that after he annotates a book, he “exports” the annotations to notecards after a given session or at the end of reading the book. He got the process from this other guy who exports to his commonplace book, which is a big plastic tub filled with binders of notecards strapped with rubber bands. Someone else “exported” to a journal, another commonplace book, for easy reference and recall. Other people used various cloud-based programs like Notion to break books down into bullet points for ease and flow. There is a whole sector of productivity YouTube and BuJo YouTube that have converged around the best way to create “idea clouds” from the books you read.

There is a rather distressing undercurrent to some of these approaches. The distressing undercurrent is of course AI, and the fact that many of these software hook into AI services to quickly summarize a book or even to turn summarized notes into other forms, generating books, videos, podcasts, or even short films, etc. I am trying very hard not to think about the min-max theology of the algorithm that finds its greatest avatar and evangelist in the ProductivityBro.

If you avoid looking too hard at the shadow of AI that hangs over this process in the context of the digital contemporary, you can begin to appreciate the beauty in approaching a text like a whole tuna or beef carcass that must be processed and into cuts that can be processed into food.

Anyway, I thought to myself, I do the underlining part, but not the exporting part. To see if it actually made a difference, I started testing out the exporting in my teaching. A couple weeks ago, I taught two rather complicated essays by the theorist György Lukács. I had read the essays and was familiar with them, but it’s quite another thing to teach the essays to students. I wanted to be able to answer their questions about the arguments raised in the essays and to help clarify anything they hadn’t understood. After all, I hadn’t understood everything in the pieces either the first time I read them either and the whole point of discussion is to be able to ask questions. I wanted the class discussions to be productive and interesting for them. This required reading the pieces more carefully this time around, and making sure I understood more of what Lukács was saying. Especially the bits where he’s very idiosyncratic.

This seemed like a perfect time to try out a new annotation style. I read the pieces as I normally did, underlining, making margin notes. Then, I took a couple hours to export the underlined passages. That is, I typed all of the quotes I had underlined and wrote a couple sentences analyzing the quote, and making a note to myself about why I thought it was significant or funny. The thing about having to type the quotes is that I was able to identify when I’d underlined something because it would be necessary to the discussion and when I had underlined it because the writing was good or particularly sharp or mean in a way I liked. The quotes that weren’t necessary to articulating his argument or my read of his argument, I didn’t type. The ones that were, I did. Having to type the quotes with my own human hands exerted a selective pressure that made me think even more about the piece and that deepened my understanding of it.

I think those classes went really well. Those discussions were the most prepared I’ve felt all semester. It’s not that the craft discussions have been going badly all semester. Not to toot my own horn, but I think they have gone well! It’s just that I felt more prepared and I had engaged the text more deeply. I could guide us with more confidence and ease than in previous sessions where I’d just underlined and written margin comments.

I’ve also been using this technique to prepare for my Henry James seminars over the last month or so. I read and underline, and then I write by hand the quotes that I’ve underlined. This makes recall during discussion so much easier. I can call upon more relevant examples. The text shimmers at the surface of my thoughts. It feels more immediate to me. Also, as I write the quotes, I am thinking about the text, and an argument begins to build over the course of the writing session. Connections occur to me in a way that was only very subliminal before. When I export, I feel that I move from a passive to a more active reading role. My notes and underlines have a function now.

The last couple of days, I have been in chilly Vancouver. I had an event on Thursday night, but before that event, I had to give my Henry James seminar. I spent the early part of the day “exporting” my underlines to my writing pad. It was very soothing. But also, I reflected on the fact that I really do feel…better? More informed? More prepared? Idk, I feel something different when I prepare this way. Not just underlining and annotating, but moving my notes from the book to a document. It makes them more readily accessible to me.

Over the summer, I trialed a different approach that my friend Adam Dalva showed me. When he is reviewing a book or going to discuss it with the author, underlines and then keeps a running index of page numbers and brief quotes in the front of the book so that he can draw on it. I did this for a few books I reviewed this summer and to prepare for a couple of events. It was good, but I feel that the current method is superior, at least for me and my uses. The consolidation is greater, and it’s easier to then go on to use those quotes for something else—an essay, a newsletter, a quote, etc.

I posted a picture of my notes for the James seminar on social media, and somebody asked me if it slows me down. Someone else said that they liked the idea of it but time :(. Someone else asked if there is a software that can speed up this process because the slowness is probably not worth it.

I don’t really…understand the line of thought. I mean, I posted a picture of my notepad and said something like “The people who said that exporting your underlines were right. It does help.” And some people were like, “Does it slow you down?” But I feel like they are asking a question without really knowing what they are asking. Does it slow down what? The notetaking? The reading? Whatever is downstream of those activities for you? Why is speed being taken as some sort of de facto virtue? We know that a lot of things that are done quickly can also be shit. Slowly made things can also be shit. Speed is not really a useful in determining quality or efficacy unless what you are after is speed.

I can’t help but to think that a subtle reframing has occurred when I am asked questions like this. Questions that reframe productive away from “produces results that are good for my use case” to “produces results FAST.” Those are not the same thing.

This notetaking technique obviously won’t work if you are trying to prepare a text five minutes before class? But also…why would you think that this technique would work for you if you are trying to prepare a text five minutes before class? Like, a productive notetaking technique is a technique that produces results suitable to your uses—be it writing an essay, a novel, a book, a memo, etc, whatever—and sometimes that suitability will reflect time and speed, sure. But not always. A useful notetaking strategy is not always about speed. I recognize that we live in a capitalist hellscape and the language of commodification has rotted all of our minds and stolen our souls, sure. But that doesn’t mean that we should or need to concede to its logic at every turn.

I mean, surely, we all know that there are some things which simply take time. There is no way to min-max around this fact. Some things take time. And if you want to do them, you have to budget the time to do them. It’s also true that sometimes, there isn’t enough time to do the things we would like to do in the fashion we would like to do them. And that can be very frustrating. Sucky. We can acknowledge that certain structural factors—patriarchy, capitalism, sexism, racism—mean that certain groups of people are less likely to have all the time they would like or need to do the things they need to do or would like to do how they would like to do them. This is legitimately frustrating. Enraging. Unfair. And I agree, that sucks. It is one of the great examples of inequality of our era. People should be able to have time! And subsidized childcare! And freedom from tyranny and the evils of occupation. And a living wage! I could go on, but you get my point.

To go back to AI for a moment. I think that justifications for AI art and the Min-Max Optimization Gospel stem from a cheapening of the idea of time in the same way that other emanations of Capitalism stem from the cheapening of labor. Or they seem to operate according to a similar syntax. What I mean is that you often hear people defend AI as a democratization of tools and proficiency. Like, why should someone have to spend 10,000 hours learning how to use Photoshop or how to make movies, when they can just script it and have a machine generate the image. It’s productive. This cheapens the idea of time, to me, anyway. Why should one have to invest time and effort into acquiring proficiency, why should that be expected of these people whose time would be better served thinking of ways to wring money out of a chatbox, I guess. We have this idea that not only should things cost us very little in terms of effort and also material resources, they should cost us very little in terms of time too.

In the same way that I think there are accessibility and democratization of tools arguments for some kinds of AI, there are arguments to be made about the Optimization Gospel benefiting people who are systematically under-resourced in terms of time. However, those structural issues should have structural solutions. Everything else is a temporary stop-gap and represents the devolution of responsibility back to the individual when the failing wasn’t theirs in the first place.

Anyway, I don’t know how to answer that person’s question about whether or not this technique slows me down. For what I am using it for, it is perfect. If I had other needs, I’d just, idk, try something else."]]></description>

    <title>Experimental Publishing Compendium: Practice: Annotating</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Description
Annotations, notes scribbled in the margins or digitally overlain, spin out from a source text, adding layers of meaning, interpretations, references, and associations. As an experimental practice, annotating has the potential to redefine the lines between writers and readers, sources and exegesis, and reviewers and reviewees.

Full description
Web-based annotations of digital books enrich and add meaning to a scholarly text through overlays and filters that sit on top of the text—often allowing direct referencing of granular elements (specific words, segments, paragraphs)—in order to show additional textual or multimodal commentary and feedback. Annotations—in short, a form of readerly or writerly interaction that consists of notes (in any medium) added to texts (of any medium)—already have a long history in a print and manuscript context (e.g. marginalia, errata, rubrics), but the immediacy of two-way discussion between users is a notable feature of digital open annotations. Annotation can serve many purposes, "it can provide information, share commentary, spark conversation, express power, and also aid learning" (Kalir and Garcia, 2021). Adding contextual references, such as metadata, can enrich the underlying text, for example by creating a semantic network that sets a given publication in relation to other publications (hyperlinking, linked open data). This can facilitate a more "seamless integration of research materials and scholarly analysis" (McPherson, 2010). Beyond human generated annotations, there are also opportunities to enhance content through auto-generated annotations, adding info about identifiers, controlled vocabulary, or recommendations. Annotations can also be enhanced themselves, by making them "searchable by tags that make it possible to identify the type of annotation or its content" (Bertino & Staines, 2019; Lange, 2020) and because of digital technologies readers are now able to export, share, and preserve their annotations for a range of audiences.

Experimental uses
While pre-digital annotation has mostly been a private practice (Humphreys et al., 2018), digital tools enable the ongoing and shared open annotation of texts, potentially blurring divisions between text and annotation, and author, editor, reviewer, and reader. This speaks of the participatory approach to annotating content and annotations potential to undermine traditional notions of proprietary authorship and authorial control over open content. Annotation also provides opportunity to "socialize the process of knowledge creation" by extending the "collaborative spirit" from authorship out to review and revision, and from there to create knowledge communities (Montgomery et al., 2018; Kalir & Garcia, 2021). Open annotation can thus simultaneously foreground social processes of authorship while also questioning the very nature of authorial authority. It has the ability to enrich a document through its ability to 'interweave' itself with the other voices in a project, thus presenting a textured, multi-perspective publication in one document while also posing questions about where the document actually begins and ends (Adema, 2018). Annotation therefore points to a level of liquidity and intertextuality within a publication that disrupts what it means to have a fixed and final publication.

Increasingly publishers are experimenting with annotation features either on top of their open book collections or on specific open titles, and annotations (either in the authoring or the reading environment) are also becoming a standard feature of long-form experimental publishing platforms, from CommentPress to Manifold, Scalar, and PubPub. MIT Press has accommodated annotation and conversation around some of the books in its MIT Press Open collection. This includes books in its Works in Progress programme released on the PubPub platform for pre- or post-publication feedback, designed for works in early stages of their development that could benefit from community feedback to further develop ideas. Titles include Open Knowledge Institutions, a book co-authored by 13 scholars as part of a 'Book Sprint', but the press has also released books for formal assessment via their Community Review programme, including the manuscripts for Data Feminisms and Annotation that were posted for public comment prior to entering the publication process.

Open Humanities Press have been exploring the affordances of annotation as part of their focus on the rewriting of books in their back catalogue. With their Combinatorial Books: Gathering Flowers book series, they are encouraging readers/writers to actively reuse existing open access books. They have developed a publishing workflow that enables the creation of new combinatorial books out of existing OHP books that are openly licensed for reuse. For the first book in this series the authors collaboratively annotated OHP’s The Chernobyl Herbarium online PDF with the aid of the hypothes.is plugin. Tagging and grouping their annotations the authors developed a tentative table of contents for their book-length rewriting, which they further worked out in pads and other collaborative writing environments. The published book will use the PubPub annotation function to link back again to the sections in The Chernobyl Herbarium it responds to. In this sense open annotation has the potential to enable more engagement with existing open books and to promote conversation across scholarly monographs (Bertino & Staines, 2019).

Considerations
One important consideration is the power relations that determine who can and does write annotations and who can’t and doesn't (who gets to annotate), "is bound by social norms, cultural practices, and enforced policies", which need to be heeded when we think about how we can cultivate participation and interaction around texts, especially within a scholarly communications context (Kalir and Garcia, 2021). This might explain why, notwithstanding several trials in the humanities, annotation as a form of public discourse has not been a resounding success. The culture of academia might be to blame here, with "fears about being ‘scooped’, about blowback, about domineering commenters, and lack of time coalesce to result in extremely poor participation in this emerging form of discourse" (Skains, 2020. Time, effort, and accessibility become barriers to participation in this form of academic engagement, especially as annotations usually cannot be cited, meaning that in the scholarly reward and reputation system "they offer no verifiable benefit to the contributor in either cultural capital or actual capital" (Skains, 2020; Perkel, 2015). At the same time, books themselves are perhaps not the best "platforms for interaction" because there is already ubiquitous social media on which publications are shared and discussions around them take place (next to already established print-based environments dedicated to discussing research, e.g., conferences and book reviews). Why would scholars duplicate that effort for specific platforms or on specific publications with more restricted audiences, with limited visibility, and with no benefit to their standing or career (Faulkes, 2014; Skains, 2020)?

    <title>Robin Rendle — Your reading should be messy</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["My family had a room that we called the Library, but even back then I knew it was really just our dining room with a few bookshelves around a small table. When I was a kid I would look up at this tower of books though and wonder at all those people and ideas and stories, it was simply overwhelming. I was told that all these books are precious things — they must never be folded, bent, or broken. Any smudges or notes on a book is heresy and our reading should always be a clean activity since it’s what separates us from the beasts.

Preservation of all sacred texts — from expensive fine print books, all the way down to pulp-paperback novels — was the most important thing in the world.

Years later, when I began reading everything I could in my early teens, I snuck into the Library one day and discovered, to my horror, that all the books were in pristine condition. It was row after row, shelf after shelf. Something clicked and I knew I had found a horrible secret about my family: they had bought these books to be displayed like jewelry, rather than to be read.

In that moment I knew that all those dumb rules around reading and books was dead wrong and that there was nothing sadder in this world than an unused book — clean, without notes or scribbles, without coffee or fingerprints, without any trace of the reader at all.

Now here’s the secret: good reading is messy reading.

If I want the kind of novel that gets deep into my bones, the sort of non-fiction mystery that stays with me years after the fact, then I must bring the sticky notes and pens and pencils and let my books get scuffed and scraped along the way. I should always walk away from a book with visible progress of my reading and if there’s no scribbles in the margins then the reading simply wasn’t good enough — a new book must be immediately prepared.

After years of treating my books as if they ought to be preserved in a museum, I now believe that you should honor the books by breaking them. Read them all so messily! Fold them, bend them, tear them! Throw them into your backpack or leave them open in Jenga-like towers by the side of your bed. Don’t fret about stains or torn edges or covers left dangling off the spine after years of reading.

That is what a book is. That is what a book is for."]]></description>

    <title>Understanding McLuhan: A Conversation with Andrew McLuhan</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Welcome to a special installment of the Convivial Society featuring my conversation with Andrew McLuhan. I can’t recall how or when I first encountered the work of Marshall McLuhan, I think it might’ve been through the writing of one of his most notable students, Neil Postman. I do know, however, that McLuhan, and others like Postman and Walter Ong who built on his work, became a cornerstone of my own thinking about media and technology. So it was a great pleasure to speak with his grandson Andrew, who is now stewarding and expanding the work of his grandfather and his father, Eric McLuhan, through the McLuhan Institute, of which he is the founder and director.

I learned a lot about McLuhan through this conversation and I think you’ll find it worth your time. A variety of resources and sites were mentioned throughout the conversation, and I’ve tried to provide links to all of those below. Above all, make sure you check out the McLuhan Institute and consider supporting Andrew’s work through his Patreon page."]]></description>

“logo·​phile | \ ˈlȯ-gə-ˌfī(-ə)l : a lover of words. A self-described “learner,” immersed in books since childhood, text-based artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed is uniquely fascinated with the written word and its power to both define and destabilize how we understand the world. Rasheed photocopies pages from books and printed materials, cuts out words and sentences, and re-arranges them in poetic, provocative, or even confusing combinations. The resulting sprawling wall collages, billboards, films and public installations encourage viewers to do the work of understanding. “It’s really an invitation,” says Rasheed, “Come think with me.” This short documentary film explores the artist’s expansive ideas and miniaturist process in her book-filled, Brooklyn home studio; the film’s exclusively close up style mirrors Rasheed’s own preoccupation with fragments, slowly building up a portrait over time.

From her studio, Rasheed sorts through stacks of childhood drawings and family photographs while recounting her father’s conversion to Islam in the early 1980s. His method of note taking, excerpting, and annotating inspired Rasheed’s own artistic practice. “I was thinking of this idea of talking back to a text,” says the artist, “Each time we read something, we’re annotating on the page or in our heads and creating a new text. It’s this act of collaboration between the reader and the writer.” At work on a new piece, Rasheed searches her books for specific shapes and styles of lettering, rather than particular words. She pieces together these fragments into longer phrases and sentences, intuitively creating combinations that code or complicate that which could be said plainly. Rather than jumping to understanding, viewers are invited to move more slowly and engage with works over and over again to create layers of meaning. For Rasheed, this approach also presents a powerful possibility for how we can publicly move through the world and create a kind of self-protection. “I think a lot about what it actually means to make myself legible,” says the artist. “How you present yourself to the world that’s legible and appealing to people, versus I’m not gonna make myself known until I’m ready.””]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["No New Theories builds on Kameelah Janan Rasheed’s accretive and associative installation work, bringing together xerox abstractions, poetic text fragments, and found as well as original photography to explore learning and unlearning as a spiritual, socio-political, ecological, and cognitive process.

With No New Theories Rasheed freely assembles her own writing, autocorrect algorithms, and Oulipian poems (short texts generated with the help of imposed constraints) alongside visuals drawn from her personal image archive, pop culture, zoological journals, quranic verses, and other sources. The work gathers these threads with an emphasis on the processes of revision and improvisation as she considers the entropic potential of meaning in place of fixed definitions.

At the heart of No New Theories is an expansive interview between Rasheed and Jessica Lynne, co-founder of the art criticism journal ARTS.BLACK. The conversation attempts to document their intellectual partnership, constructed through a layering process by which the original exchange is reworked and expanded with annotations, citations, and excerpted texts from writers Samuel R. Delany, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Emily Dickinson, and others.

Rasheed and Lynne take on questions of epistemology and pedagogy, the nature of research, knowledge-acquisition, as well as patience and fatigue. Building on the notion of the ‘organic archive’ — both as a fictional organizing framework and as a score for possible experiences — the two consider various historical, sociological, and cultural facets of Americana, proposing a multi-directional discourse around the wide permutations of Black experience. The book’s title — No New Theories — locates Blackness as a multivalent and porous experience that cannot and should not be neatly theorized.

No New Theories is published by Printed Matter, Inc. Produced in an edition of 1,000 copies, paperback, black & white, 256 p., 9x6 in., otabound, with a high gloss silkscreen cover, edge-printing, and suede-ink bookmark."]]></description>

    <title>A Mending by Shing Yin Khor — Kickstarter</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“A solo keepsake game about a journey to visit a dear and distant friend, using sewing, map-annotating, and story-building mechanics.

A Mending is a solo story-building and keepsake game about two friends who have been parted for some time, using sewing, embroidery, and map-marking mechanics. 

This game is a reflection of my desire to make games that create physical gameplay artifacts and beautiful keepsakes, my love of maps, a deep respect of handiwork often categorized as “women’s work,” and many years of missing dear - and distant - friends.

ABOUT THE GAME

You have been parted from a dear friend for a long time. Now, they have called for you. You are going to visit your friend, and the path is long and it will take many days. As you plan and trace your route on a cloth map(or paper), using needle and thread(or pen), you will use and answer story prompt cards to discover the stories and primary incidents behind your friendship, find strange and wonderful objects and people on your path, and build your own narrative of this particular journey and friendship.

A Mending is a keepsake game, a term that I use to describe the kind of game I make - games that produce beautiful, memorable physical artifacts through the gameplay process. These keepsakes are a collaboration between me, as a designer, and the players, who all create their own unique objects. This honors my lifetime love of tinkering and making, and reduces waste by producing something worth keeping. Jeeyon Shim and I began using this term while making our keepsake game, Field Guide to Memory, to describe the work we do. 

[image: “Progress on a map, mid-game.”]

Above is an example of part of a map in progress. The orange running stitch here is the path taken to visit a friend. The beads and other stitches denote the times where an object was discovered, or where a story element important to the relationship was revealed. The finished gameplay artifact can be used as a decorative or functional object; I personally wear and use my test maps as bandanas, altar cloths, patches, and handkerchiefs.

[image: “A finished cloth map, worn as a bandana or scarf.”]

For players who like to plan before sewing, two blank paper maps, printed on a beautiful textured felt weave paper stock, are provided - you can play the game while hand-drawing your route(and annotating the story you make), for later reference. Of course, this means that you can also play the game in its entirety using paper and pen.

The story-building elements of the game are in the long story-building tradition of indie RPG games, inspired by games such as For the Queen(Alex Roberts),  Dialect(Thorny Games), The Quiet Year(Avery Alder), and Field Guide to Memory(Jeeyon Shim and myself). The story itself is set up as a series of randomized prompt cards that take the player through a reflective and gentle journey of interesting characters, thoughtful questions about your friendship, and a few strange occurrences. 

GAMEPLAY AND MATERIALS

You will play the game by planning your route, marking the map, and building a story by answering prompt cards. The prompt cards will ask you to consider your relationship with your friend, mark your map with beads or written notes, introduce you to delightful characters(including at least one dog), and will sometimes affect the path you have chosen. The gameplay time can vary between one hour(solo, paper and pen only) to two hours or more(collaborative gameplay, with hand-sewing). The game is designed to be played solo, but the game booklet will also include suggestions on how to play this as a 2 person game(using a single game kit), or communally in a larger group. A Mending can be also played as a system-agnostic storytelling module for other roleplaying games.

[image: “Example of the prompt cards in A Mending.”]

The embroidery and sewing elements of this game are meant to be simple and intuitive. My own approach towards embroidery and sewing is haphazard, but I appreciate its versatility and style, and am interested in its use in creating narrative keepsake work. If you choose to play the sewing version of the game, it is designed at a “can you do a basic running stitch, and can you sew a button/bead on?” level, but if you are an experienced sewist or embroiderer, you can feel free to embellish the game to your heart’s content! There will be resources listed in the game booklet that teach introductory sewing skills and basic stitches, but the goal is to embrace experimentation and instinctive use of thread and needle. 

[image: “The 48 card story-building deck, paper maps, and game booklet are included in every physical reward. (Mockup; design not final)”]

All versions of the game include two identical paper maps(for simultaneous gameplay, or plotting your map before you embroider a cloth map), a 48-card deck of story-building prompts, and an instruction booklet. There is also a paper-only option for people who are quite sure they do not want to sew anything.

[image: “a preview of gameplay, using the paper map only”]
.
The centerpiece of the game is the cloth map, which also serves as the game board, and is screen-printed in two colors on natural 100% cotton fabric. The screenprinted art is 17”x17”, with the entire piece of cloth measuring 22”x22”, leaving a comfortable border for other things you may want to do with the finished map, such as framing or using it as a quilt piece. 

[image: “A close up of the map’s screenprinting, showing the main outlines in dark brown, and the gridlines in a beautiful metallic gold.”]

Most physical versions of the game(JOURNEYMAN and above) also include a zippered carrying case, because this is a game that can include many fiddly small elements like beads and needles, and because I love designing cute and beautiful elements that also keep all your things in one place.

For sewists and embroiderers(even just dabblers and dilettantes!) the JOURNEYMAN level includes only the custom made and custom printed elements necessary to play the game. This is a great choice if you want to pick your own thread colors and beads, which I think is part of the fun.

The cloth maps are printed on 100% natural cotton bandanas. They can be machine washed and dyed with fabric dyes.”]]></description>

SIGN UP FOR TOME
Digital academic writing poses new opportunities and challenges. While there is no substitute for good writing, digital formats affect the ways we write and read on screens. Can long, scholarly arguments be sustained online? Rich media offers us ways to capture movement, sound, and other forms of 'live' practice that could not previously be included in print publications. Online and collaborative writing additionally build their own communities of readers, reaching audiences that previously did not have access to many important materials. Over the past 10 years, we have worked closely with scholars and students to develop books, dossiers, journals and other forms of online publications.

Why Tome?
Tome features MLA and Chicago referencing, academic type formatting, interactive Google maps, audio, galleries, chat, comments, blog, and annotations in a powerful but intuitive platform built on the WordPress framework. Easily manage your chapters or essays, media library, and bibliography. Share, and invite others to write and contribute for broader course projects. Publish and flatten your book when finished to preserve the material.

Do it Together
With the ability to invite multiple users, write multilingual chapters, keep blogs and easily create and manage a large, 5GB online archive, it is easy to create class-wide collaborative writing and digital humanities projects. We have created pilot programs with professors and libraries at Columbia, NYU, NYU Abu Dhabi, University of Colorado Boulder, USC, and UCSB and University of Miami to explore the role of technology in pedagogy. We have consulted with hundreds of students and scholars to create quick essays, continuing publication series, published books, and collaborative class projects.

Who We Are
We are dedicated to developing the next generation of academic writing tools and techniques. By working hands on with students, authors, librarians, archivists and visual artists, we hope to expand familiarity and participation in the digital humanities. Our interests include preservation, meta-data, tags, and accessibility. Tome's research team has involved students, professors, authors, designers, film makers, and activists. Our designers have created digital books for 10 years."]]></description>

[from the annotations]

"Parents underestimate kids’ ability to figure out what is right for them. My parents originally thought the public arts high school where I just started would be a terrible choice, and now they understand how perfect it is for me."

…

"I receive, on average, a dozen book titles when I ask for a recommendation from my parents. It would be impossible to read them all. Plus, I want to choose what to focus on and file the rest away. Parents seem to need immediate return on their advice and assume no ideas get recorded for later use."

…

"Well, I wanted to know everything, back when that seemed reasonable, and I thought adults knew and understood everything, so it made sense to ask. Back then, all of my questions had answers."

…

"Adults think that kids are going to break if they hear something bad has happened. However, from a fairly young age kids know that terrible things happen, and they know when someone is trying to shelter them. It’s like when I was 4 and I found a dead robin on my grandparents’ deck, and my parents told me, “The bird is done being a bird.” That was OK, but it would have been OK, too, to just say the bird was dead. If you allow a kid to believe that things live forever, it’s going to be a worse experience later because they’re going to learn they were lied to."

…

"I think this is a complex point. It’s old-fashioned and sexist to think clothing is a major indicator of values. People should be able to wear what they want without worrying about others’ feedback."

…

"Everyone is “pretty flawed.” Isn’t the whole idea that you grow up and realize nobody is perfect and learn to live with the ways you’re messed up?"

…

"In my daily life, I take almost no risks. I do my homework; I’m absurdly early to most things. The mountains are the one place where I can relax and take advantage of this calm. I don’t know if I want a risk manager. I want to get better at accepting risk. It’s hard to learn, especially when your parents are cautious people themselves and you have anxiety about disappointing them. And yourself."

…

"I know my life is going to take some trial and error. I know I need to make the mistakes, and I know I’m going to be humiliated. I’m trying to gather up my courage. People can tell you to take deep breaths, they can tell you to close your eyes, but they can’t make you calm."]]></description>

    <title>More Thoughts on Annotations</title>
    <dc:date>2017-06-29T17:23:39+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>http://audreywatters.com/2017/06/24/annotations-again</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It’s been well over a month since I blocked annotations (Hypothesis and Genius) on my websites. I’m a little taken aback that some folks are still muttering about it. Perhaps I need to restate a couple of things:

• You can still annotate my work. Just not on my websites.

• My work here and on Hack Education is openly licensed. As long as you follow that license – CC BY NC SA – you can copy and redistribute my articles without my permission.

• The CC license on my work also means you can post my articles in another file format or medium – that is, they needn’t stay in HTML. You can publish my articles as PDFs. You can hit “print.”

Jon Udell, who now works for Hypothesis and who I finally met face-to-face at NMC last week, has suggested the possibility of using an HTML meta tag to identify annotation preferences. Rather than simply blocking annotations as I’ve done with a bit of Javascript, his idea would allow an author to point to another URL where annotation can (or should, even) happen.

It makes sense, but I think I’m much less committed to having one canonical “place” for annotations than Hypothesis is. (I have quotations there because its annotations are overlays that appear to be in “place.”)

Udell recently announced that Hypothesis supports DOIs (digital object identifiers) so that a “robust connection between articles and annotations” can be maintained. That is to say, Hypothesis annotations of a PDF can be centralized, no matter where the article is hosted or whether it’s a local copy.

I’m not sure I care much about federated or centralized annotations – as a researcher or as an author. Actually, as an author, I do not care at all. Funnily enough, one of the accusations lobbed against me when I blocked annotations here was that I was attempting to exert some sort of “authorial control” over my work. Wrong. I was exerting control over my website.

We seem to have telescoped authorship and scholarship into the digital in ways that are remarkably unhelpful. People become “content,” and calls for easier, more “permission-less sharing” seem to encourage folks to make demands on writers online (even in their own personal spaces), thinking they’re simply querying texts."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Imagine you are asked what single alteration in people’s behavior might best improve the lot of mankind. How foolish would you have to be to reply: have them learn to read with a pen in their hands? But I firmly believe such a simple development would bring huge benefits.

We have too much respect for the printed word, too little awareness of the power words hold over us. We allow worlds to be conjured up for us with very little concern for the implications. We overlook glaring incongruities. We are suckers for alliteration, assonance, and rhythm. We rejoice over stories, whether fiction or “documentary,” whose outcomes are flagrantly manipulative, self-serving, or both. Usually both. If a piece of writing manifests the stigmata of literature—symbols, metaphors, unreliable narrators, multiple points of view, structural ambiguities—we afford it unlimited credit. With occasional exceptions, the only “criticism” brought to such writing is the kind that seeks to elaborate its brilliance, its cleverness, its creativity. What surprised me most when I first began publishing fiction myself was how much at every level a novelist can get away with.

This extravagant regard, which seemed to reach a peak in the second half of the twentieth century as the modernists of a generation before were canonized as performers of the ever more arduous miracle of conferring a little meaning on life, is reflected in the treatment of the book itself. The spine must not be bent back and broken, the pages must not be marked with dog ears, there must be no underlining, no writing in the margins. Obviously, for those of us brought up on library books and school-owned textbooks (my copy of Browning bore the name of a dozen pupils who had used the text before me), there were simple and sensible reasons supporting this behavior. But the reverence went beyond a proper respect for those who would be reading the pages after you. Even when I bought a book myself, if my parents caught me breaking its spine so that it would lay open on the desk, they were shocked. Writing was sacred. In the beginning was the Word. The word written down, hopefully on quality paper. Much of the resistance to e-books, notably from the literati, has to do with a loss of this sense of sacredness, of a vulnerable paper vessel that can thrive on our protective devotion.

The absolute need to read with a pen in one’s hand became evident to me watching my students as we studied translation together. …"

…

"Aside from simply insisting, as I already had for years, that they be more alert, I began to wonder what was the most practical way I could lead my students to a greater attentiveness, teach them to protect themselves from all those underlying messages that can shift one’s attitude without one’s being aware of it? I began to think about the way I read myself, about the activity of reading, what you put into it rather than what was simply on the page. Try this experiment, I eventually told them: from now on always read with a pen in your hands, not beside you on the table, but actually in your hand, ready, armed. And always make three or four comments on every page, at least one critical, even aggressive. Put a question mark by everything you find suspect. Underline anything you really appreciate. Feel free to write “splendid,” but also, “I don’t believe a word of it.” And even “bullshit.”

A pen is not a magic wand. The critical faculty is not conjured from nothing. But it was remarkable how many students improved their performance with this simple stratagem. There is something predatory, cruel even, about a pen suspended over a text. Like a hawk over a field, it is on the lookout for something vulnerable. Then it is a pleasure to swoop and skewer the victim with the nib’s sharp point. The mere fact of holding the hand poised for action changes our attitude to the text. We are no longer passive consumers of a monologue but active participants in a dialogue. Students would report that their reading slowed down when they had a pen in their hand, but at the same time the text became more dense, more interesting, if only because a certain pleasure could now be taken in their own response to the writing when they didn’t feel it was up to scratch, or worthy only of being scratched."

…

"Some readers will fear that the pen-in-hand approach denies us those wonderful moments when we fall under a writer’s spell, the moments when we succumb to a style, and are happy to succumb to it, when suddenly it seems to us that this approach to the world, be it Proust’s or Woolf’s or Beckett’s or Bernhard’s, is really, at least for the moment, the only approach we are interested in, moments that are no doubt among the most exciting in our reading experience.

No, I wouldn’t want to miss out on that. But if writers are to entice us into their vision, let us make them work for it. Let us resist enchantment for a while, or at least for long enough to have some idea of what we are being drawn into. For the mindless, passive acceptance of other people’s representations of the world can only enchain us and hamper our personal growth, hamper the possibility of positive action. Sometimes it seems the whole of society languishes in the stupor of the fictions it has swallowed. Wasn’t this what Cervantes was complaining about when he began Don Quixote? Better to read a poor book with alert resistance, than devour a good one in mindless adoration."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This is what an average page of the Talmud looks like. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4_953lWcAA-AIW.jpg
There's a lot going on here, and all of it is interesting.
That text in the center is the mishnah. The mishnah is a transcription of much older oral Torah.
The mishnah was an oral tradition for centuries before it was finally written down.
The text surrounding it is the gemara. The gemara is commentary, centuries later, on that mishna. Which is itself commentary.
The gemara is, importantly, an argumentative commentary. It's a transcript of arguments over centuries.
The gemara is 6,000 pages of history, arguments, excruciatingly nitpicky discussions, and anecdotes.
Each nugget of mishna is surrounded by centuries of arguments over what it means.
Those arguments range wildly. For instance, in one tractate the mishna discusses a unit of measurement.
Over the following centuries, that unit transformed from about a tablespoon into a wheelbarrow worth of stuff.
That transformation is recorded, as people got confused and argued over what on earth it meant at various times.
Each argument presented in the surrounding gemara, comes from a lineage of thought. You can trace that lineage through centuriese
You can follow Rabbi Akiva's thought over the course of his life, and see how many times he was quoted later on, for instance.
You can watch two schools of thought, butt heads in ever more smartass arguments, over centuries.
Sometimes there's reconciliation, one school of thought accepts that another was right. Other times, the arguments continue.
The arguments build on each other. You can watch an argument get settled. Centuries later, that agreement is argued.
The ensuing argument ends nitpicking the original in excruciating detail until it makes sense to enough people.
Layers of commentary upon commentary upon commentary. A millennium later, Rashi added his own.
The Talmud was, essentially, the Internet before people had electricity.
There were correspondences written, indexes where you could locate every mention of Rab Johanan etc.
Subjects ranged from torturous arguments over etymology, to hilarious anecdotes, to daily images of life.3
The Talmud was Usenet before people knew about electricity.
There's even a tractate, Pirke Avot, that's so eclectic there's a thousand-year old joke about citing it if unsure of a source.
In other words, the Talmud is a good example of user interface. It accreted organically, organized itself organically.
Its rough edges were worn away with centuries, it became as intuitive a way of representing discussion as one could get.
The Talmud was, until Usenet, the world's best interface for representing vast discussions. Version controlled, too.
It's been around for so long that its influence permeated western culture.
It helped make "commentary upon commentary" seem intuitive. It would have used hyperlinks if it could have.
And, thousands of years later, we reinvent that wheel, badly. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5AEuYgW8AEWwiH.jpg [https://twitter.com/pookleblinky/status/833171129279852545 ]
We have tried to scale the user interface of the Talmud a few orders of magnitude.
The result: infinite chains of quote RT's with the word "THREAD" and "this."
Tumblr discussions that zoom in microscopically until the first several layers of commentary are invisible.
Any sufficiently advanced commentary model contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of the Talmud
Usenet came closest, followed by irc .txt logs.
Another interesting thing is that the Talmud is 6,000 pages. You can read all of it, a page a day, in 7 years.
If you look at oral traditions around the world, this was about average.
There's probably something like Dunbar's Number, concerning the max size of an oral tradition.
The Mahabharata is about 1.8 million words. 200,000 verses.
The Iliad alone was about 200,000 words. It was an oral tradition for centuries after Homer.
The Talmud is estimated at about 2 million words, of which the mishna alone are about the same range as any other oral tradition.
Assuming there is a limit to how large an oral tradition can be, even after transcription, let's call it 2 million words worth.
2 million words of argument and commentary before things get too confusingly vast for normal humans to keep up.
I'm sure that there's a relationship between dunbar's number and max size of oral tradition.
And that this relationship affects how internet communities fracture and insulate themselves as they scale relentlessly upwards"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Editors' Notes is an open-source, web-based tool for recording, organizing, preserving, and opening access to research notes, built with the needs of documentary editing projects, archives, and library special collections in mind.

A few ways projects are using Editors' Notes:

• The Margaret Sanger Papers are researching the birth control movement in India.

• The Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony Papers are collecting sources about women using direct action to test voting laws.

• The Labadie Collection is sharing items in its collection that mention Emma Goldman's visits to Detroit.

• The Emma Goldman Papers Project are researching the origins of the 1919 deportation of strikers in Bisbee, Arizona.

Project Collaboration
Teams of editors, archivists, and librarians can use Editors' Notes to manage their research and note-taking. Project administrators can assign research tasks to other team members, and they can control who has permission to edit the project's notes.

Flexible note-taking 
Reseachers can create and organize their notes as they wish. Notes can be organized around documentary sources or thematically organized around topics—or both. To find notes, users can browse by topic, search the full text of notes, and filter results using bibliographic metadata.

Integration with Zotero
Editors' Notes is integrated with the Zotero citation management software. Researchers can use Zotero to collect documents and then use Editors' Notes to take notes on those documents. Document descriptions can be edited in Editors' Notes and saved back to Zotero.

Document annotation
Researchers can annotate specific passages in document transcripts. Annotations, like other notes, can include bibliographic metadata and topic keywords and are fully searchable. In addition to creating annotated transcripts, researchers can upload scanned images of documents, which can be viewed in a zoomable interface."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["At this point, I became probably overly obsessed with the fact that Jeremy and Rap Genius were featured front and center in that Times article about the declining interested in the Humanities, and then with the use of that Times piece as a “hiring” strategy of sorts. Whatever their deal was, it seemed clear that The Times gave Genius the credibility to claim that [1] the humanities needing saving and [2] that increased traffic and content on their site was the way to do it. I’m not sure what Genius gave The Times in return, but I’ll just add here that the Genius guy giving the talk said the New York Times wasn’t going to be around in 5 years anyway.

In a room full of bright-eyed future businesspeople, I felt like a alien interloper and began to fashion my own tinfoil hat theories even though I suppose this sort of deal is how the marriage of journalism and commerce always works. More selfishly, I began to suspect that the job ad I had read was not actually a real job ad. (I know, kind of rich given my last post here [https://medium.com/@exhaust_fumes/the-inside-can-didate-f8d0c2312be8 ]).

I suppose anything I say from here on out could easily be dismissed as elitist or turf warring, or maybe just naive and overly-sensitive; it’s quite possibly true that my reaction to the Stern talk was rooted in my own vested interest in universities keeping Humanities programs funded. I generally have a very weak stomach for any kind of pro-capitalist language in academic and educational contexts, and in the winter of 2013, I was emotionally drained from trying to finish a book and find another job, and spiritually-speaking, I was running on fumes."

"The opportunity to go to Brooklyn is indeed a good thing; I live in Queens, but I know how good it is across the bridge where many of my friends live. Really, I shouldn’t be so glib: it’s cool to be part of something devoted to teaching and a bonus to have your travel expenses paid. I think it is also, as I was saying at the beginning of this long-ass post, a great example of the fucking sharing economy and what’s wrong with it. Be grateful to people who use a small fraction of their VC money to fly you somewhere — but also think about the value of what you give them in return.

I’m using swears there in the hopes that I sound like a Genius when I say things I’m not totally sure about; I’m a bit out of my comfort zone talking about how a start-up makes and uses money. I’m really good with my own financial affairs and budget, but my academic expertise is in 16th and 17th century drama and history so I worry I don’t really know what I’m talking about. But perhaps you are somebody who knows a lot more about these things and perhaps you know where to look to answer some of the questions I’ve tried to raise here.

I have no doubt that Genius has content and a viable business model without content from educators. But I still want to know more about the role and real worth of our labor in an economy that asks the precariously employed to share while its founders and investors make money. Humanities scholars can see all the tensions of our professional choices in this economy: the fact that we do our work for pleasure, that others find pleasure in our work, and that the work we love is only lucrative for some."]]></description>

    <title>Annotating PDFs Without URLs – Hypothesis</title>
    <dc:date>2016-07-20T19:07:26+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://hypothes.is/blog/annotating-pdfs-without-urls/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["For sometime now, you’ve been able to annotate PDFs using Hypothes.is, both on the web and locally, with hosted PDFs syncing with local instances and various local instances syncing with each other. Jon Udell wrote about this magical feature here over a year go.

[video]

For those that tried it out, however, there was one annoying snag, especially if you were trying to lead a large group (of students, say) through the process: users had to create an annotation on a local PDF before they would be able to view any pre-existing annotations created elsewhere–in other local instances or where originally hosted. (The same would happen for identical PDFs hosted at two distinct URLs.)

So it was possible to be sent a PDF that had supposedly been annotated, open it, activate Hypothes.is and not see any annotations. Even if you knew about the need to create an annotation to view annotations, you were entering that conversation blindly or else creating a dummy annotation to be deleted later. This added step admittedly took away some of the “mind-blowingness” of annotating PDFs across multiple locations using Hypothes.is.

Now that step is no longer necessary.

What’s changed?

We used to use the URL as the primary identifier of PDFs. That’s what the Hypothes.is client would search for in the database to anchor annotations on a page. Now we use the digital fingerprint that is baked into PDFs from their generation as part of the spec for the format. We did use this fingerprint previously as a secondary identifier to map local PDFs to hosted ones or PDFs hosted at different URLs to each other, which is what caused the lag between new annotation creation and appearance of pre-existing annotations. This shift from URL to PDF fingerprint will truly enhance the portability of annotations on the format across the web.

For example, if the same scholarly journal article is housed at two different repositories, annotations created at either location will show up at the other (assuming both PDFs have the same fingerprint, an assumption that is not always the case). Public annotations created on a local version of the same PDF will also be immediately viewable. If I annotate an essay at a permanent URL on JSTOR, then download the article and share it via email, or host it on my own WordPress site, my annotations will anchor through all incarnations of that PDF."]]></description>

    <title>Taking note: Luhmann's Zettelkasten</title>
    <dc:date>2016-06-29T18:56:22+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://takingnotenow.blogspot.com/2007/12/luhmanns-zettelkasten.html</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Index cards played a large role in research during the last century -- the 20th century, that is. And there is still a great deal of interest in using index cards as a means for organizing one's daily life. See, for instance, Index Cards, More Index Cards, Photos, or any number of other sites that are fascinated by paper or "analog devices," as they are sometimes referred to by geeks in this time when electronic devices take over more and more of our lives. But index cards clearly also were the model for important early programs intended for what is by some called with the unfortunate phrase "personal knowledge management" today. I mean such programs as NoteCard, HyperCard, and their successors, which began from the index- or note-card metaphor.

One of the more interesting systems for keeping such index cards was developed by the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann (1927-1998). I have no great interest in his theory. I am fascinated by his method of keeping notes, and will therefore restrict my comments to this aspect of his work. But if you are interested, you can visit Niklas Luhmann for a short introduction to his theory. Clearly, his index-card-system and his sociological theory are connected in interesting, intricate, and not easily understood ways, but I will forgo investigating these for now.

One of the things that made his Zettelkasten or slip box (or note card file) so intriguing to the larger (German) public was a 1981 paper, entitled "Kommunikation mit Zettelkästen. Ein Erfahrungsbericht" (Communication with Index Card Systems. An Empirical Account. It appeared in Niklas Luhmann, Universität als Milieu. Kleine Schriften. hrsg. von André Kieserling. Bielefeld: Verlag Cordula Haux, 1992.) Luhmann claimed that his file was something of a collaborator in his work, a largely independent partner in his research and writing. It might have started out as a mere apprentice when Luhmann was still studying himself (in 1951), but after thirty years of having been fed information by the human collaborator it had acquired the ability of surprising him again an again. Since the ability of genuinely surprising one another is an essential characteristic of genuine communication, he argued that there was actually communication going on between himself and his partner in theory.

Luhmann also described his system as his secondary memory (Zweitgedächtnis), alter ego, or his reading memory or (Lesegedächtnis).

Luhmann's notecard system is different from that of others because of the way he organized the information, intending it not just for the next paper or the next book, as most other researchers did, but for a life-time of working and publishing. He thus rejected the mere alphabetical organisation of the material just as much as the systematic arrangement in accordance with fixed categories, like that of the Dewey Decimal System, for instance. Instead, he opted for an approach that was "thematically unlimited," or is limited only insofar as it limits itself.

Instead, he opted for organisation by numbers. Every slip would receive a number, independently of the information on it, starting with 1, and potentially continuing to infinity. Since his slips were relatively small (slightly larger than 5 x 8 cards, or Din-A 6, to be precise), he often had to continue on other slips the information or train of thought started on one slip. In this way, he would end up with Numbers like 1/1 and 1/2 and 1/3 etc. He wrote these numbers in black ink at the top of the slip, so that they could easily be seen when a slip was removed and then put back in the file.

Apart from such linear continuations of topics on different slips, Luhmann also introduced a notation for branchings of topics. Thus, when he felt that a certain term needed to be further discussed or the information about it needed to be supplemented, he would begin a new slip that addded a letter, like a, b, or c to the number. So, a branching from slip 1/6 could have branches like 1/6a or 1/6b, up to 1/6z. These branching connections were marked by red numbers within the text, close to the place that needed further explanation or information. Since any of these branches might require further continuations, he also had many slips of the form 1/6a1, 1/6a2, etc. And, of course, any of these continuations can be branched again, so he could end up with such a number as:

21/3d26g53 for -- who else? -- Habermas.

These internal branchings can continue ad infinitum -- at least potentially. This is one of the advantages of the system. But there are others: (i) Because the numbers given to the slips are fixed and never change. Any slip can refer to any other slip by simply writing the proper number on the slip; and, what is more important, the other slip could be found, as long as it was properly placed in the stack or file. (ii) This system makes internal growth of the Zettelkasten possible that is completely independent of any preconceived ordering scheme. In fact, it leads to a kind of emergent order that is independent of any preconception, and this is one of the things that makes surprise or serendipity. (iii) it makes possible a register of keywords that allow one to enter into the system at a certain point to pursue a certain strand of thought. (iv) it leads to meaningful clusters within the system. Areas on which one has worked a lot are much more spatially extended than those on which one has not worked. (v) There are no privileged places in the note-card system, every card is as important as every other card, and no hierarchy is super-imposed on the system. The significance of each card depends on its relation to other cards (or the relation of other cards to it). It is a network; it is not "arboretic." Accordingly, it in some ways anticipates hypertext and the internet.

Almost all of these advantages of Luhmann's numbering scheme are, of course, easily realizable in any database system that have fixed record system. And the branching ability is easily reproduced by wiki-technology. (For more on the relation of this approach and wiki, see "Some Idiosyncratic Reflections on Note-Taking in General and ConnectedText in Particular" or Idiosyncratic Reflections on Note-Taking).

    <title>Highlights - Sawyer Hollenshead</title>

    <link>http://highlights.sawyerh.com/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[[About: https://medium.com/@sawyerh/how-i-m-exporting-my-highlights-from-the-grasps-of-ibooks-and-kindle-ce6a6031b298#.a4fg98jq2 

"How I’m exporting my highlights from the grasps of iBooks and Kindle
Using email, AWS, Siteleaf, and GitHub

A few years ago there was a little startup called Readmill that gave a glimpse at what an open, independent reading platform could look like. You could import your books into their beautiful reading app and highlight text as you read. Your highlights would sync with your Readmill account and other people could follow along to see what you were highlighting (and vice-versa). I discovered a bunch of new books and met some new faces this way. I even built a product that tied in with their API. Then Readmill got acquired by Dropbox. The open, independent reading platform was no longer open or independent, and shutdown in July 2014. Since their shutdown, the state of digital reading platforms has been pretty sad.

Now, my reading takes place in a train on my phone (iBooks) or in sunny Prospect Park on my Kindle. I still highlight as I read, but they don’t sync anywhere. They’re typically scattered between two walled gardens, and 99% of the time I don’t come back to reflect on what I’ve highlighted. I might as well be posting screenshots of the text to Twitter like a buffoon (✋guilty).

So after stewing in frustration for quite awhile about the current state of digital reading platforms, I decided to do what any sane programmer would do: Devise an overly complex solution on AWS for a seemingly simple problem (that two companies with a combined market cap of close to a trillion fucking dollars can’t be bothered to solve).

The ultimate product was highlights.sawyerhollenshead.com. (Skip to the bottom for links to the code).

The problem: How do I gather all of my highlights from iBooks and Kindle and put them into one collection, preferably online, where I can share, browse, and reflect on everything I’ve read?
The solution: Email.

Actually, it’s a bit more complicated than just “Email”. Yes, I suppose I could just email the highlights to myself and be done with it. Now that I think about it, maybe I should have started there. But I didn’t, I jumped right to this: I created a new email address (eg. add-highlight@example.com) and hooked it up to Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Using SES, my email address receives email I send to it and stores the email as essentially a text file in Amazon S3 (aka an online folder that stores files). Amazon S3 is smart though and can notify other services when a new file is added to it. So I setup my S3 folder to notify another Amazon service, Amazon Lambda, whenever a new email is received. Lambda is the “brains” of this whole flow. It’s given an input, the email S3 just stored, and runs code on that input."

Sending and parsing highlight emails

The code that I setup Lambda to run does a few things: First, it reads the email and identifies the source of the highlights as either iBooks or Kindle. Emails with iBooks highlights contain the highlights in the body and Kindle highlights are sent as attachments. Why?

iBooks provides a fairly nice user experience for emailing your highlights, so all I have to do is select the highlights I want to share and email them to my add-highlights@example.com address.

Kindle is a bit more of a monster. For books that I’ve purchased through Amazon, my highlights get synced to the Kindle highlights page, possibly one of Amazon’s most neglected pages. Using a bookmarklet, I export all these highlights as a JSON file. Next, I email the JSON file as an attachment to my SES address.

Publishing the highlights online

Now that my Lambda code knows the source of the highlights, it parses the highlights from the email and we proceed on to the next step: Saving the highlights to Siteleaf. Siteleaf is a content management system that myself and the team at Oak have been working on. Siteleaf allows you to manage your website’s content in the cloud and then publish your site as static HTML to a web host of your choice. Siteleaf also has an API, which I’m using to save my highlights. Once my highlights are saved to Siteleaf, Siteleaf automatically syncs the new highlights to GitHub as Markdown files. At this point, my highlights are saved to Siteleaf and accessible through the CMS and API. They’re also saved as Markdown files in a GitHub repo. Pretty cool. With one more click in Siteleaf, I then publish these highlights to my website, hosted on GitHub Pages. Now they’re also saved as HTML pages and accessible to everyone online. Even cooler.

(Note: The Siteleaf functionality mentioned above is currently in beta and not yet open to everyone. You can apply for access though — I know a guy.)

Drink
The irony that I’m using all of these Amazon services to solve a problem that Amazon itself is a part of isn’t lost on me. Like I said at the beginning, this is an overly complex solution to a problem that seems so simple — but it works for me. Now that I have all the pipes connected, when I finish reading a book, I send one email and my highlights are ready to be published to my site. Whether or not Apple, Amazon, or some other company ever makes browsing your ebook highlights and notes easier, I hope to always have a method of my own. If you have your own workflow, I’d love to hear about it.

View the code on GitHub
Instructions and code for the Lambda function can be found on GitHub. Additionally, the code for highlights.sawyerh.com is also available GitHub."]]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The usual knock against Genius is that its annotations are incorrect, irrelevant, or offensive, and this is often true. But in some ways the site’s designers may have overcorrected for this problem. In a thoughtful essay on Slate, Katy Waldman notes that Genius, in its brave attempt at “democratizing close reading,” can sometimes play it too safe; the site’s “upvote/downvote system” tends to push “safe, sensible, defensible glosses to the top. These are the Ike Eisenhowers of exegesis, the takes a majority can get behind.” The advantage of having a singular, as opposed to a collective, intelligence in charge of annotating a text is not just that it helps keep things on track; it’s also that it can let things get weird when they need to. “I see no reason why annotators should not use their notes for saying anything they please if they think it will be of interest, or at least amusing,” Gardner declares in his introduction to More Annotated Alice. But even tangents require a judgment call. The problem with many of the Genius annotations of the Alice books isn’t that they’re wildly off base; it’s that they’re dull.

That isn’t a reason to discount Genius’ annotation technology entirely, of course, which may well help to usher in a renaissance of online scholarship. The site has already begun to build exegetical communities around undervalued parts of our culture. A database is only as good as its users, and it’s quite possible that a twenty-first-century Martin Gardner would gravitate toward Genius, or something like it, gradually building up authority and prestige in the community through feats of mental strength. This may be what the site needs to do to be more than a web 2.0 gimmick: Find today’s Gardners, and let them cultivate its soil."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Maybe handwriting is neither a lost art nor an anachronism; perhaps new technology will show there is some useful alchemy left in the way language, the body, and our sense of identity intertwine."

…

"Maybe the limitations of the body carry some hidden benefit: that in marking out ideas at a pace slower than typing, there is some link between neural and muscle memory."

…

"Unlike digital’s precision, writing is blurry individuality under a general system. But in addition to this, we all have our own personalized understanding of arrows, squiggles, double-underlines and so on—little personal codes we develop over time to “talk to ourselves.” To write by hand is to always foreground an inevitable uniqueness, visually marking out an identity in opposition to, say, this font you’re reading right now.'

…

"If one can draw over and annotate a web page and then send it to a friend, the web at least feels less hegemonic, recalling the kind of interactivity and freedom of expression once found in the now-broken dream of blog comment sections."

…

"For all that, though, what pens do offer is both practical and symbolic resistance to the pre-programmed nature of the modern web—its tendency to ask you to express yourself, however creatively and generatively, within the literal and figurative constraints of a small, pre-defined box. There is a charming potential in the pen for activity that works against the grain of those things: to mark out in one’s own hand the absurdities of some top ten list, or underlining some particularly poignant paragraph in a way that a highlight or newly popular screenshotting tool doesn’t quite capture. Perhaps it’s the visual nature of the transgression—the mark of a hand slashed across a page—that produces emblematically the desire for self-expression: not the witty tweet or status update, nor just the handwritten annotation, but the doubled, layered version of both, the very overlap put to one’s own, subjective ends. And then there is more simple pleasure: that you are, in both an actual and metaphorical sense, drawing outside the lines. If one can draw over and annotate a web page and then send it to a friend, for example, the web at least feels less hegemonic, recalling the kind of interactivity and freedom of expression once found in the now-broken dream of blog comment sections."

…

"Identity online is fraught. You could make the argument that our collected personas—the affected shots of Instagram; the too-earnest Facebook status updates; the sarcastic, bitter tweets—are all an attempt to form some approximation of who we believe ourselves to be: we perform ourselves to become more authentic versions of ourselves. I know I at least do something like this, and have made winding, verbose arguments that documenting ourselves into being is how we use social media to become more human.

Yet I have also, in the writings of those such as Rob Horning, found reason to be deeply skeptical of the economic and ideological motives behind that push. Now that the web is a place of data collection, of surveillance, and of that strange urge to perform one’s personal brand in the right way, such naive notions of performance are no longer tenable. And yet … we still do it: inscribing shards of the self upon screens, despite the fact that, in a variety of ways, we must see and build our identities through the prisms that are handed to us, shaping ourselves to the nature of the newly corporatized web."

…

"Have you ever seen hand-drawn ink on a page, magnified? It is jagged and rough, full of an impossible number of imperfections. Zoom in far enough and even the most sophisticated digital algorithms would find it difficult to track the cartography of just one letter. There are simply too many undulations, too many indecipherable points to make sense of it. And perhaps this is what appeals with digital ink, too, as symbol, as metaphor—as just a fool’s hope: that in that discomfiting glide of a nib atop glass, there is still the human yearning to say, “I know who I am—here, let me show you.”"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["As a non-profit dedicated to open standards, I think we are poised at hypothes.is to bring annotation to scale in the education space. The school teacher in me remains most focused on classroom applications for this kind of technology, whether that be establishing collaborative digital annotation as a key tool for the implementation of the Common Core Standards in US public schools (see the standards here, annotated and aligned with hypothes.is), or integrating social reading into online and hybrid learning environments as both a close reading and a community building tool (in fact, thanks to Jesse Stommel, we already had a MOOC on Shakespeare experiment with hypothes.is). But I also believe that annotation functionality is key to updating our textbooks for the 21st century, making them rich with multimedia elements and editorial notes, but also with the potential for teacher and peer commentary. And I’ll be working to ship annotation along with the Content and Learning Management Systems (C/LMSs) used by so many teachers today as well. With both textbooks and C/LMSs. my vision is to bring the intimacy and vibrancy of a good classroom environment to the digital technologies that supplement IRL teaching moments asynchronously.

If anyone here is interested in the educational uses of annotation technology, please reach out to me. Here are some tutorials that I’ve created for students and teachers on how to get started using the application. Right now, I’m talking to a lot of former colleagues and current contacts in education about what they think are the most important features of a social reading tool for the classroom. Currently my top three product priorities are: private groups, enhanced notifications, and profile pages. What are yours? I want to know what you and your students need! Reach out anytime for support or discussion: jeremydean@hypothes.is. And follow me on Twitter for live updates and random thoughts about collaborative digital annotation!"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["With pen and paper, it's easy to annotate. You can highlight text, circle relevant parts of an image, add comments, and doodle in the margins. Digital annotation is a bit trickier, but these annotations have the potential to be shared with a much wider audience. Because journalism increasingly presents us with a deluge of information in all forms, has an archival nature, and offers us a way to understand the world around us, journalism and annotation are natural BFFs.

Annotation has a long history as part of the original conception of the web. Today, the most common form of annotation we see online is commenting, which has a complex culture. Typically comments are buried at the bottom of the page, hard to sort through, and challenging to moderate. Location-specific annotations, when they exist, are often platform-specific (for now, that's the case here on FOLD, too).

This Wednesday, I attended the Annotation Summit hosted by the Poynter Foundation at the New York Times building to talk about some of these issues. The purpose of this event was to bring together people working on annotation from different angles (academics, makers of publishing platforms, members of standards groups, and media companies) to discuss how annotation can help reimagine journalism and strengthen democracy."

The colored footnotes were a unique challenge to present online, but The Atlantic web team did a pretty decent job by using hyperlinks and pop-up boxes (archived link here):

And then later, for the print collection Consider The Lobster, the footnotes lost their colors and were replaced with arrows and boxes:

The Atlantic has recently redesigned “Host” so that the footnotes expand within the piece like so:

It works particularly well with footnotes-within-footnotes:

This is one of the rare times that I think reading a piece online is now actually easier and more delightful than reading it in print.

It should be mentioned, by the way, that the eBook of Consider The Lobster doesn’t even contain the piece:"

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I recently gave a talk to a library group about why the printed book still matters. I had been asked to address the subject of “Books in a Digital World,” but I chose to focus much more closely on the characteristics of printed objects that are not effectively represented in facsimile. That is: what cannot be captured in a scan. 

I’ve been carrying this list in my head for years, adding to it one reason at a time. In my profession, as a librarian and a curator, this list (of which what follows is only a portion) functions as an apologia pro vita mia—rational defenses for the continued existence of the printed codex—and my involvement with them.

Ten Good Reasons the Book is Important

1. It is a piece of technology that lasts.
The codex is one of the longest-lived of all technologies. It has been improved-upon—but changed only slightly—over the centuries. Movable type printing has been around since the 1450s; the codex form has been in use for as long as 2000 years. These are extremely durable tools and forms.

2. It needs very little, if any, extra technology to be accessed. 
(Ignoring, of course, that terrifying Twilight Zone episode, “Time Enough to Last,” in which the last man alive on Earth breaks his eyeglasses… .) Other media demand devices to be deciphered. Yes, printed information is coded, via language and graphic systems of representation. But in general, these are codes that are managed by human eyes, hands, and brains—tools we carry with us.

3. The book retains evidence.
These forms of evidence include: notes; names of owners; annotations. These all help us understand how books functioned as possessions and learning tools, and how they traveled from one owner or reader to another. As a librarian, I don’t advocate writing in books, but I am excited when I find an eighteenth-century American schoolbook that contains handwriting exercises on its pages.

4. Books are true to form. 
Books are meant to be seen and read in specific ways. Many early books had sections that were intended to be viewed as two-page spreads—not isolated from each other, as often happens in online viewers. The same observation can be made about scrolls; their presentation was key to how they were interpreted. We can’t forget that reading can have a ceremonial function.

5. Each copy of a book is potentially unique …
… at least up through the second industrial age. Changes to texts often show up in different copies of books that are assumed to be identical. Printing involved mainly manual processes until the end of the nineteenth century—sometimes necessitating stop-press corrections. These kinds of changes can teach us about the genealogy of printed works. Many digital scanning projects are necessarily limited to the selection of the “best” copy of a book, which, once scanned, stands in for every other copy.

6. Printed items are consumable goods …
… in passive and active ways. Some classes of books and printed objects are meant to live only a short while—to provide information and then be discarded. Lucky for us, when copies of such ephemeral items have managed to survive, we have data that record phenomena that can be extremely difficult to document otherwise. Such is the case with flyers, brochures, tickets, posters, and other single-sheet printed items.

7. A book is an object fixed in time. 
A book can tell us about its status in history. If we look through first editions of Moby Dick or Leaves of Grass, we find that they give away information not only about when they were created, but also about the worlds in which they were created, by way of advertisements, bindings, the quality of their paper, and watermarks on that paper. Such components are often not captured by scanning or are flattened out to make them of negligible use. In Nicholson Baker’s Double Fold—his saga about how libraries microfilmed runs of newspapers in the 1950s and 1960s and then discarded them—one of his chief complaints was that the filmers skipped advertising supplements and cartoons: things that had been deemed unimportant. 

8. A book can be an object of beauty and human craftsmanship.
Those qualities alone are of significant value.

9. When you are reading a book in a public place, other people can see what you are reading. 
Reading is generally a private activity, but it also has social functions. Even when we hold a book up in front of our faces, we are telling the world what we’re reading—or in the very least—that we are reading a book (rather than tweeting about the books we wish we were reading … ).

10. The Internet will never contain every book. 
The growth of information is exponential—with vast universes of new data being created online every day. Many swaths of old information—in the forms of books, magazines, and pamphlets—will never make it online. There are projects and grants for scanning specific topics—English eighteenth-century provincial newspapers, Latin American imprints—but significant bodies of work of minor stature will never make the cut."

    <title>Assignment: Commentary and Anthology | Snakes and Ladders</title>
    <dc:date>2015-01-09T21:12:58+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>http://blog.ayjay.org/uncategorized/assignment-commentary-and-anthology/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Just in case anyone is interested, here’s a draft of something I’ll be handing out to my students in a couple of weeks.

In most of your courses in the humanities, you’re asked to write papers — probably thesis papers, in which you make an argument that you support with evidence from the text under consideration and from critical or contextual studies. It’s a reasonable task to ask students to perform; Lord knows I have asked it of enough students in my thirty-plus years of teaching. But it’s not the only appropriate assignment, and it has certain shortcomings.

Chief among those, I think, is its tendency to encourage people to get through the task of reading as quickly as possible in order to get on to the really important job of articulating and defending your own position. But reading is a task that deserves more care — especially when the texts involved are challenging, difficult, and major.

In a brilliant and important book, Religious Reading, Paul Griffiths demonstrates that in most of the great religious traditions — Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity — there are genres of reading, that is, kinds of texts in which one records one’s reading. The two major genres, according to Griffiths, are commentary and anthology. To people trained in the habits of mind associated with the thesis paper, these genres seem passive and deferential — especially when applied to non-religious texts. But those genres are not passive at all, and insofar as they are deferential that deference may be quite appropriate. After all, many non-religious texts, especially when they arise in cultures distant from us in time or space or both, pose great difficulties for the reader. Allusions will escape us, social and cultural contexts will be unknown to us, subtleties of argument or exposition or characterization or poetic language will leave us scratching our heads. To seek to identify and then resolve those difficulties — these are highly demanding intellectual tasks, and will not allow passivity, though, as they reveal the complexities that animate really significant works, they may promote deference.

In our class, we will be using a wonderful tool called CommentPress to create an online anthology of writings and to comment on those writings. You will not write papers in this class; instead, you will help to create the anthology, and you will comment on texts you bring to our attention and on the texts others bring. By the end of the term, we will have created a body of annotated readings that, taken as a whole, will significantly illuminate our subject.

So each week, you will do each of the following:

• Post one passage from one of our assigned texts (either copying and pasting from an online public-domain text, or typing in a passage from one of your books);
• Make a comment that offers some helpful contextual information about the passage (something about the text’s author, or the historical moment of its composition, or the culture within which it was produced, or a work that it echoes or responds to), preferably with a link to your source;
• Make a longer comment (perhaps 150-250 words or so) that offers an interpretation of a particular passage in the text, probably drawing on existing scholarly work;
• Respond to someone else’s comment by disagreeing with it, amplifying and extending it, or providing further relevant information.

You should be aware right from the beginning that this assignment will require you to form somewhat different work habits than you are used to. Many of you are habituated to an academic model in which you read regularly but write infrequently, and probably in intense bursts of activity. In this class reading and writing will be more closely joined to one another, and you will write almost as regularly as you read, and in smaller chunks than essay assignments normally require.

You will also need to familiarize yourself with the CommentPress software, including the proper ways to format text and insert links. Don’t worry: I’ll show you in class how it’s done, and will be happy to answer questions later.

So this will be different than you’re used to. But different is good. Or at least, it can be!"

    <title>The Art of Writing in (e)Books — Book club — Medium</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["That marginalia are a form of writing which, like other more familiar genres (gothic fiction, love poetry, newspaper articles), has its own standards and conventions or unwritten rules that evolve over time; and therefore that marginalia are susceptible of artistry. Some people are better at it than others. Taste, talent, discrimination, style, originality—all these qualities may be displayed and recognized in this medium as well as in others. We might think that marginalia are private and personal but the history of the form strongly suggests otherwise: people write notes in books for a purpose, and that purpose often includes being seen by other people, so there’s usually an element, largely unconscious, of showing off or trying to impress. If that sounds negative, say rather, of urgency, of trying to persuade someone else to share your point of view.

The celebrated annotators are celebrated for different reasons. It might be for the content of their notes (extraordinarily brilliant commentary and analysis, for instance), or for their wit, humour, or vivid character, or for some sort of distinctive flair. Recognition of their brilliance usually comes from their contemporaries and depends on current notions of best practice—which in turn depend upon the examples or models that are available at the time. Whatever great annotators emerge in the digital age, the qualities for which their writing is admired are not likely to be quite the same as those beloved annotators of the past, because the models they incorporate will have been different. (Modern digital annotators are unlikely to have been modelling their way of writing notes on Swift, Blake, Keats, etc.) I would expect digital annotation, for instance, to be more personal and more personally revealing than marginalia have normally been in the past, because of the example of social media."

…

"I would say that modern digital readers will have no expectation of privacy—so the experience of reading will be psychologically somewhat different for them from what it has been in the past—and that they will look forward to participating in a group response, with subgroups, alliances, and hostilities (disagreements) probably emerging over time. But it has always been the case that once words are published (that is, put out there) the writer loses control over them and the group moves in to interpret as best it can, according to its own background and needs. The risk I foresee with digital “conversation” is that it will be too big and confusing. If readers feel overwhelmed they might eventually not want to participate, and go back to talking to themselves."

…

"When people write in books, they do it for some purpose and they have usually seen books marked up in the way they eventually do it. But readers typically develop a method of annotation that suits them only slowly, over time. If you are of an impatient disposition, the sort of person who never opens the manual before trying out a machine, you can just plunge in and learn by trial and error. If you are more reflective, you might want to figure out why you are planning to do this and what you expect to get out of it. Are you using notes to take in information, to express opinions, to correct a text or to make connections with other reading? Are you doing it so that some other reader will read as it were with you, understanding the book as you do? If you do that you will work more purposefully and effectively from the start. Both kinds of annotator are likely to find their practice changing, however, so perhaps it doesn’t matter which type you belong to."]]></description>

Such markings are so prevalent that they just blend into the urban patina of dirt and disrepair and go largely unnoticed. I’m not talking about illegal graffiti. Rather, the officially sanctioned infrastructural “tagging” employed by public works departments around the country.

You’ve probably seen these markings on streets and sidewalks. Multi-colored lines, arrows and diamonds denoting the presence of some subterranean infrastructure or encode instruction for construction or maintenance workers. A secret language that temporarily manifests the invisible systems that power our world. Recently, Columbia’s Studio-X blog shared the decoder ring that unlocks these secret messages:"]]></description>

    <title>Why Medium Notes Are Different and How to Use Them Well — About Medium — Medium</title>
    <dc:date>2013-04-26T16:48:00+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://medium.com/about/5972c72b18f2</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["On Medium, we don’t have comments on posts; instead we have “notes.” They hang off to the side of paragraphs and are shown when you click/touch the little indicator on the side.

Arguably, traditional comments—the kind you see beneath most blog posts and pretty much every other media artifact on the web—do the same thing (in ideal circumstances). Notes are much better for the type of ideas and stories people share on Medium. Here’s why (and how they work):

The most obvious thing that’s different about Medium Notes is that they live on the paragraph level rather than below an entire post. Not only that—notes can (optionally) highlight specific text within the paragraph:

This has many advantages. For one, notes are great for feedback. It’s the central mechanism for Medium’s collaboration feature—which lets authors get feedback before they post. Being able to quickly highlight some text and say “typo” is so easy, people are willing to do it frequently. (Personally, I find it fun.)

By making notes private by default, we remove much of the incentive to spam or troll. If you’re not adding value, you’re not seen.

A third option under the private/public note control for authors is to “Dismiss” the note. This is useful for cleaning up your own view.

The note-leaver won’t know you’ve dismissed it from your view and will still see it until they delete it.

I like to leave notes on my own posts. It’s a nice way to add contextual information that doesn’t need to be in the main flow of text."]]></description>

The Holy Grail of ebooks is the gorgeously tactile physical object which can be any book on Earth, or a notebook; which fits in your pocket and unfolds into a laptop; which is both beautiful and supremely functional. Maybe it will never actually happen. But in between that digital jewel-encrusted tome and the stuff we have now is a world of hybridised books and services which seek to make the reading experience more convenient, more seamlessly ubiquitous, more itself. Not to modify it or improve it, but to facilitate it and make the precise edition in which you chose to read at any given moment irrelevant."

That might be O.K., but it also means they have a lot more in common with advertising than they do with curation. After all, advertising trains us to keep our desire always at the ready, nurturing that feeling that something is missing, then redirecting it toward a tangible product. In the end, all that pent-up yearning needs a place to go, and now it has that place online. But products are no longer the point. The feeling is the point. And now we can create that feeling for ourselves, then pass it around like a photo album of the life we think we were meant to have but don’t, the people we think we should be but aren’t.

When you upload a snapshot of your print to Field Papers, we'll do some magic on the server to put it back in the right spot on the map. You can transcribe your notes into digital form and share the result with your friends or download the notes for later analysis.

You don't need a GPS to make a map or learn complicated desktop GIS software to use Field Papers. It's as easy as print, mark, scan.

This project is a continuation of Walking Papers, which was built for the OpenStreetMap (OSM) editing community. Field Papers allows you to print multiple-page atlases using several map styles (including satellite imagery and black and white cartography to save ink) and has built in note annotation tools with GIS format downloads. Field Papers also supports user accounts so you can save “your stuff” for later, or use the service anonymously. Maps from the two systems work together if you want OSM editing (see below)."

That's a mouthful; it's a lot easier to say that they "make reading social." But easier in this case is definitely not better. All these digital possibilities are turning the old and familiar experience of reading on its head, and the language we have to describe the changes hasn't even begun to catch up. It needs to start."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Blair talks about an interesting concept: florilegium.

 “… which, rather than summarizing, selected the best passages or “flowers” from authoritative sources.”

Tweets can be thought of as forced florilegium – the constraint of 140 characters forces us to distill the important or best information (our own or from others) and share it. the idea that each tweet is a specially picked flower puts the onus on the author of the tweet to be trusted to have picked the ‘best flower’ to share. this also points to the role of curator that individuals often play – we choose what to tweet based on how we would like ourselves and the communities we are affiliated with to be represented."

…Twitter allows for varied forms of note-taking, some covered by Blair, but also beyond those examples partly because of the affordances of the new tools. a type of collaborative note-taking manifests in the ‘chat’ communities on Twitter during their scheduled meetings…"

I would bolt the door and beat some logic into your head.

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Even if we can capture intention and overcome sharing, we might come back to consider what was formerly known as the commonplace book. How might new book designers — of any format — replicate its sense of wholeness and real-time cataloging online? Do we need to?

It’s critical that the new book designer consider how and where these marks might be shared. I’m not suggesting that all annotations be social lest we become self-conscious in our book-relationships. One of the principal pleasures of taking notes is the intimacy with a passage, the outright honesty with which one might scribble, “Gasp!” or “Hogwash,” or “True that,” for later reminding. But there will need to be equal consideration given to what to keep personal as to what to make shareable.

After all, some sentiments are best left between you and your margins."]]></description>

This information should be open & available so we can create…ecosystems…Benjamin writes about the aura of a work, & how that aura is diminished by the process of copying, because the highest quality of art is its place in the here and now. But I think that, 80 years on, we are building the tools to reclaim that aura and make it more valuable again. Business models, even social models, get broken all the time, and they get broken before we figure out how to replace them. Likewise, the aura model of art got broken 80 years ago, but we just might be figuring out how to fix it. What kills industries now is the same storm out of paradise that broke businesses before – but might just fix them in the future…The long-form text is not dead, but the physical book is, and the digital copy does not have value in the same way."]]></description>
