Radical Publishing: The Organization and Distribution of Art, Literature and Information in the 21st Century

Abstract

This panel will present research and engagement, from two academic institutions and a literary foundation, in the current fundamental technological transformation and redefinition of publishing. Citing developments over the past 50 years that have first gradually, then more suddenly led to this radical change, with informed speculation on implications for the future, panelists will discuss issues of archival preservation, ownership, changing modes of authorship, and the cognitive role of touch in the creative process. © Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering 2014.
