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.
