Protocol
- 2022

Ingår i: Internet Policy Review. - : Internet Policy Review, Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society. - 2197-6775. ; 11:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Protocol describes a cascade of formalised standards or agreements to be implemented as control regimes for flexible material and/or semiotic organisation. It predictably structures in an often layered, sometimes hierarchical way the behaviours of data and objects to participate in infrastructural networks. While 'protocol' may refer specifically to Internet protocols, it also describes a mode of organisation evident in a variety of technical and non-technical settings.

Divide and Share : Taxonomies, Orders and Masses in Facebooks Open Graph
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Computational Culture. - 2047-2390. ; :4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Open Graph protocol, introduced in 2010, has allowed Facebook to extend its reach far beyond the confines of the platform itself. It provides the basic technical infrastructure of connecting and sharing and encourages specific forms of analysis and usage. We argue that, if Facebook is to be conceptualized as a mass medium, the Open Graph is where media and masses mutually (re-)configure one another. In order to disentangle these relationships, we investigate backend and frontend practices from three different angles – descriptive, analytical and historical – and investigate how seemingly incompatible media promises converge.

Crowdfunding of Academic Books : A Case Study
- 2014
-
Ingår i: The Para-Academic Handbook. - Bristol : HammerOn Press. - 9780956450753 ; , s. 164-174
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- If crowdfunding were to become a viable alternative for scholarly publishing, this seems like a promising way to finance academic publications beyond the traditional regimes of funding. For us, this was reason enough to start an experiment aiming at crowdfunding the publication of a book. This chapter is a report of the campaign – and its failure.

Digital Methods : From Challenges to Bildung
- 2017
-
Ingår i: The Datafied Society. - Amsterdam : Amsterdam University Press. - 978 94 6298 136 2 - 978 90 4853 101 1 ; , s. 109-124
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The chapter starts with a short summary of what we consider to be five central challenges concerning the recent move towards Digital Methods. We then interrogate David Berry’s concept of ‘digital Bildung’ as a means of facing these challenges. Our goal in this discussion is, maybe paradoxically, to move the spotlight from ‘the digital’ and programming, to the plethora of concepts and knowledges mobilized in digital tools. To this end, we discuss three examples that allow us to both concretise and complicate the debate about what kind of skill set is needed by digital scholars.

Digital Methods: Five Challenges
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Understanding Digital Humanities. - Houndmills : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9780230292642 ; , s. 67-84
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- While terms like ‘digital humanities’, ‘cultural analytics’, or ‘Web science’ are certainly buzzwords, there are many indicators for a ‘computational turn’ that runs deeper than a simple rise of quantitative or ‘scientific’ modes of analysis. Rich graphical interfaces, advanced visualisation techniques, and ‘fuzzy’ processing have led some of those who have held numbers, calculations, and computers at a safe distance for a long time to warm up to new computational possibilities. But what are we to make of all of this? If these new digital methods are more than just another set of tools in our arsenal, how do we deal with the more fundamental transformations that challenge established epistemological paradigms?

“A sedate, hesitant, circumspect, little behavioral revolution” : The case of New Political History 1957–1970
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The presentation seeks to historicise current approaches to Digital History by focusing on New Political History, a branch of US political history that emerged in the late 1950s. While its proponents were especially enthusiastic about the merits of computation and quantification, it also sparked a heated debate in the field, culminating in the president of the American Historical Association's insistence "Nor will the historian worship at the shrine of that Bitch-goddess, QUANTIFICATION [sic]." The presentation looks at New Political History from three different angles: First, the role of actors and institutions for its development is described, then the impact of media technologies during this phase is assessed and finally 'external' factors such as changing funding policies and industry concerns are examined. The findings will finally be used in a comparison to today's situation in order to discuss the broader issue of continuity vs. discontinuity and to connect to the conferences question whether Digital History can be seen as a Field, a Method or just a Phase.

Big Data – Big Humanities? : Eine historische Perspektive
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Big Data. - Bielefeld : Transcript Verlag. - 9783837625929 ; , s. 157-172
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Dieser Beitrag versucht, die Rekonstruktion einer historischen Debatte für eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den Ansprüchen und Versprechen der Digital Humanities und des Humanities Computing fruchtbar zu machen. Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung, dass viele Fragen, die heute im Umfeld von Big Data und Digital Humanities debattiert werden, in den 1960er Jahren zur Diskussion standen und die Positionen zum Teil erstaunliche Übereinstimmungen aufweisen.

DDoS: From Activist Event to Perpetual Crisis
- 2021
-
Ingår i: communication +1. - 2380-6109. ; 8:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper focuses on recent changes in the way Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are technically administered in order to reassess their role as an activist tactic. By contextualising current forms of attacks within the history of hacktivism, it is possible to discern a shift from DDoS as short-lived event to an enduring phenomenon. The paper discusses the implications of this temporal shift, in terms of a growing reliance on DDoS protection providers and increasingly opaque traffic flows that are managed by these new intermediaries. This discussion then extends towards infrastructure studies in order to question established notions about the relationship between breakdown and visibility. The paper concludes by calling for a stronger engagement with different temporal aspects of recurring communication crises in general and DDoS attacks in particular.
