Publishing between Open Access, Piracy and Public Spheres
12.11. – 14.11.2014 | Lüneburg, Germany

New media is dead! Long live new media! For three days, publishers, researchers, programmers, designers, artists, and entrepreneurs discussed how research and publishing in the humanities have changed over the past decade. The conference explored new tools for gathering knowledge, examine platforms for multimedia publishing, or collaborative writing experiments.
Participants focused on the interplay between pixels and print, and discussed open and closed modes of knowledge, in order to seek out what this elusive thing could be: post-digital knowledge.

WORKSHOPS @ CENTRE FOR DIGITAL CULTURES on 14.11.14 | 2pm - 4pm
DESIGNING THE BOOK OF THE FUTURE
As the publication lifecycles are reshaped by digital tools, new roles for publishers and scholars are re-negotiated. This is where new publishing forms emerge — especially where the act of reading becomes part of new textual creation. The workshop is coordinating a rapid paper-prototyping experiment to visualize desired screen reading experiences where transmedia references are immediately made available in a document — inline, in full, or with full media playback. After the reference material has been made available (text and media) we will — in the second half — challenge the participants to find innovative ways of re-assembling text and integrating references into a reading experience. Participants will share their personal media ‘reading’ habits and mnemonic strategies — like for example page folding, memory palaces, sticky-note-mania, social bookmarking, twitter excerpts, etc. This workshop will give us insight into ways of reading within social media and social reading platforms and their application for higher education and learning contexts.

ROGUE SCHOLARSHIP
What are the possibilities for open access to become more radically open? And in what conditions, contexts might this be possible? The workshop will focus on critical infrastructure issues involved in open(ing) access to scholarly communication. We will start by presenting projects that have inspired us throughout our investigation of “Open Access Activism” and discuss some common themes and patterns. We will use these starting points to launch speculative propositions about future scenarios, tools, and ideas that can support open(ing) access. Participants are also welcome to contribute to the development of our hybrid publication “OA Activism Handbook” a field guide for future practitioners working on open access issues.

EXPLORING OPEN RESEARCH POLICIES (Workshop in German Language)
Der Ruf nach Offenheit in Wissenschaft und Forschung wird immer lauter. Es stellt sich jedoch die Frage wie diese Öffnung politisch, gesellschaftlich und rechtlich gestaltet werden kann. Auf dem Workshop werden die geplanten Aktivitäten rund um eine deutschsprachige Open Science AG konkretisiert und das von der AG erarbeitete Mission Statement (https://github.com/openscienceag/Mission_Statement/blob/master/Open_Science_AG-Mission_Statement.md) vorgestellt und gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmern des Workshops weiterentwickelt. Weiteres Ziel des Workshops ist es, Möglichkeiten zu evaluieren, wie die Vernetzung von Aktiven im Bereich Öffnung von Wissenschaft und Forschung (Open Science) und die Erarbeitung rechtssicherer Rahmenbedingungen für das Veröffentlichen von Forschungsergebnissen gestaltet werde kann.
