Hi Jens,
A useful discussion of music and digital technology is found in
Chapter 2 (Music: Intellectual Property's Canary in the Digital Coal
Mine) of the citation noted below. This book most assuredly does
not use ANT, but it still offers a solid analysis.
National Research Council (2000), The Digital Dilemma: Intellectual
Property in the Information Age, Washington DC: National
Academy Press.
Please write me off-line about your work as I have done some work
on file sharing that may be relevant.
Cheers,
david neice

Subject: [Air-l] some notes about 09.11 and the Internet
Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org
Hello,
I wanted to share some impressions about the well-known events and some
tendencies I've noticed in Russian and other post-soviet countries Internet.
As an anthropologist I was interested what do the ordinary people of these
countries really think about what happened, while their governments speak
nice phrases supporting the US and the war against the terrorism. The result
was interesting - while all TV channels, radio stations were speaking how
that was terrible and bad, on the Internet I've found very wide scale of
opinions and emotions. It seems so, that in post-soviet countries is a
difference between the Internet and other media. I had an impression that TV
channels and radio programs presented more or less censored view and on the
Internet almost all expressed opposite position to the official. These
tendencies had even more increased when US started to talk about the war in
the
Afghanistan. I think a lot of people still remember the Russian war in that
country and it's useless. Another interesting thing is the fact that politic
discussions still dominates in the chat rooms and web pages which usually
are
not interested in the politics. I'm not sure if the opinions presented on
the net had some influence on the other media, but after some time
more skeptic view started to appear on the Russian TV too. I'm very curios
what will be next.
Regards,
Aurelija Dagilyte

Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org
As the norm in the AOIR governance process seems to be evolving towards
public statements by/about candidates, here's mine.
I was nominated by Caroline Haythornthwaite and Keith Hampton for an open
council seat on AOIR. I was asked by AOIR (via Jeremy Hunsigner) to
prepare a 250-word self-description and platform. I present it below.
For more details, see my website.
Cheers, Barry

Subject: Self-description and platform for Open Seat
As a keynote speaker at our founding conference, I want to keep the
momentum going.
Research: I believe in systematic, quality research. I've been studying
the Internet and its precursors since the 1970s. I've (co)-authored more
than 160 scholarly articles and (co)-edited three books, including The
Internet in Everyday Life and Networks in the Global Village.
Organization: Let's pioneer new ways to keep connected. In 1976, I founded
the International Network for Social Network Analysis, quite similar to
AOIR. I've served on the Sociology and Computing section Council of the
American Sociological Association, and the International Sociologists'
Community Council. I just co-founded a new journal as head of the ASA's
Community section.
Breadth: At AOIR, I will work to foster skill-expanding workshops. My
research encompasses a wide range of interests: how people find community
online, how people work together online, knowledge management, and the
rise of the networked society. I've collaborated in the design of new
communication systems.
Interdisciplinary: I've collaborated with computer scientists, educators,
engineers, historians, information scientists, lawyers, psychiatrists,
psychologists, and sociologists, and I'm an ICA member. I've been a board
member of Toronto's Knowledge Media Design Institute, McLuhan Program, and
Structural Analysis Program.
International: A Canadian, I've lived and worked in Europe and Asia. I've
collaborated with scholars in 8 countries in Europe, Asia and America. My
work has been translated into 8 languages. I've lectured and given
workshops in 16 countries in South and North America; Eastern and Western
Europe; Western, Southern and Eastern Asia.

Subject: [Air-l] International Nominations
Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org
I think many good names have come up already and I support those, especially
Steve and Nancy for a second term. My motivation is primarily to make room
for non-americans in the executive committee. In my opinion, this is
important to ensure that AoIR has credibility as an _international_
organisation. (I think it is self-explaining why AoIR in particular should
have such credibility.)
To achieve this is harder than you might think. More than half our members
are American. And most of us would like to vote for someone we know. If all
Americans vote for Americans, well... So when voting, please consider
international candidates as well. And for you guys from .il, .nz, .jp, etc.:
Please come forward with your nominations :)
My nominees are:
Jenny SundΘn (Sweden) jensu at tema.liu.se
Frank Schaap (The Netherlands) architext at fragment.nl
Stine Gotved (Denmark) gotved at hum.ku.dk
Lisbeth Klastrup (Denmark) klastrup at it-c.dk
Kate O'Riordan (UK) k.s.o-riordan at sussex.ac.uk
Ken Friedman (Norway) ken.friedman at bi.no
Nicholas Jankowski (The Netherlands) nickjan at pop.xs4all.nl
Nils Zurawski (Germany) zurawsk at uni-muenster.de
(I will not run for an open seat myself, but will be happy to serve a second
term as Information Officer, if the new executive committee decides it.)

Subject: [Air-l] Web Archiving
Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org
Dear all,
I have learnt with interest of the archive project related to the
September 11 terrorist attack (http://webarchivist.org), and
downloaded their link. Applied networking, I would say, of the best
quality: technical, scholarly and moral.
On a much smaller scale, we are about to dowload and archive the
sites of a number of UK political organisations (for info see
http://www.ipop.org.uk). Does anybody on the list have knowledge /
experience of web archiving, and reliable web archiving software?
Our N is small, and we would be able to monitor each download for
faulty dynamic links. Yet, the jungle of jargon looks impenetrable:
web archiving, harvesting software, offline browsers, crawlers etc.
We've have tried to address a couple of 'specialist' librarian lists,
but no joy.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks

Folks,
In my mind, Jeff Young, a writer for the Chronicle for Higher Education,
is by far one of the best journalists covering our beat. I'm including
the first few paragraphs and URL of an article on race and cyberspace he
wrote for the Chronicle. Lots of AIR'ers mentioned!

Scholars Question the Image of the Internet as a Race-Free
Utopia
By JEFFREY R. YOUNG
The Internet has often been touted as a utopia where racial
differences are erased and people are judged by their ideas
rather than their skin color. But rather than curbing racism,
cyberspace may be perpetuating racial stereotypes for some
users, a growing number of scholars say.
And until recently, they say, few researchers have studied
issues of racial identity online -- even though so much
attention has been paid to economic studies of the "digital
divide."
A recent batch of conferences and books are helping to fill
the research gap, however.
