CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
FM 1 NEW DEFINITIONS: VALUE COMMUNITY SPACE
November 4-6, Heerlen/Maastricht, The Netherlands
http://www.infonomics.nl/newdefinitions/
---------------------------------------
Please distribute!
The impact on society of the technologies of "digitisation" has
transcended the limits of any single discipline. It is universal and
ubiquitous, affecting everything. But how does this digitisation
affect our basic concepts about society - such as value, community,
law, space?
This conference will bring together the world's leading thinkers and
doers in various fields - from anthropology to law, economics to
information technology - to ask: What, if anything, is new about the
way we redefine our understanding of these concepts?
Topics covered include:
----------------------
- notions of value, non-monetary economic activity,
- measurement without prices, free software
- the meaning of money, electronic currencies
- communities, social networks
- reputation, trust and identity
- formal and informal law, dissappearing borders and Internet
jurisdiction
- space, information and navigation
- political space, government, new media and freedom
- geographical space, access, impact and inequality
Format and speakers
-------------------
This conference is uniquely designed to contrast opinions from
different disciplines in sessions linked by common themes: Value,
Community, Space. A special "Crosstalk" session each day brings
together participants from the different themes in debate, to elicit
a broader understanding of the issues that face us.
The conference emerges from First Monday's reputation as a source of
quality ideas and research on digitisation and society. Beginning
with keynote presentations from two of First Monday's well-known
editorial board members: Esther Dyson and Anthony Rutkowski, this
conference draws on First Monday's long list of authors, some of the
foremost thinkers in their fields. Confirmed speakers include
Wilfred Dolfsma, International Institute of Infonomics
Paul Duguid, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
Kasper Edwards, Technical University Denmark
Andreas Harsono, Institute for Studies of Freeflow of Information,
Jakarta
Leo van Hove, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Bernardo Huberman, Hewlett-Packard Sand Hill Labs
Bernt Hugenholtz, Institute for Information Law, Amsterdam University
Christopher Kelty, Rice University, Houston
Bonnie Nardi, Agilent Technologies Inc
Bruce Perens, Open Source evangelist, Hewlett-Packard,
David Post, Temple University School of Law
Howard Rheingold, author, "The Virtual Community"
Richard Rogers, University of Amsterdam
Richard Wiggins, Michigan State University
Who should attend
-----------------
This conference will offer insights into issues that are critical to
economic, social and technological development in Europe as well as
worldwide. It will appeal to everyone concerned with the emerging
understanding of digitization and its impact on society, policy and
business. We expect as participants academics, corporate officers,
government policy makers, thinkers and activists from around the
world.
