Recombinação 2 28/08/2002 Novas percepções para um novo tempo? Talvez. Talvez mais ainda novas visões sobre coisas antigas, o que seja. Não vamos esconder aqui um certo Amigos Leitores, anseio, meio utópico até, de mudar as coisas, as regras do jogo. Impossível? Vai saber... Como diziam os situacionistas: "As futuras revoluções deverão Agora está acionada a máquina de conceitos do Rizoma. Demos a partida inventar elas mesmas suas próprias linguagens". com o formato demo no primeiro semestre deste ano, mas só agora, depois de calibradas e recauchutadas no programa do site, que estamos Pois é, e já que falamos de jogo, é assim que propomos que você navegue começando a acelerar. pelo site. Veja as coisas como uma brincadeira, pequenos pontos para você interligar à medida que lê os textos, pois as conexões estão aí para serem Cheios de combustível e energia incendiária, voltamos à ativa agora, com feitas. Nós jogamos os dados e pontos nodais, mas é você quem põe a toda a disposição para avançar na direção do futuro. máquina conceitual para funcionar e interligar tudo. Vá em frente! Dê a partida no seu cérebro, pise no acelerador do mouse e boa diversão! É sua primeira vez no site? Estranhou o formato? Não se preocupe, o Rizoma é mesmo diferente, diferente até pra quem já conhecia as versões Ricardo Rosas e Marcus Salgado, editores do Rizoma. anteriores. Passamos um longo período de mutação e gestação até chegar nesta versão, que, como tudo neste site, está em permanente transformação. Essa é nossa visão de "work in progress". Mas vamos esclarecer um pouco as coisas. Por trás de tantos nomes "estranhos" que formam as seções/rizomas do site, está nossa assumida intenção de fazer uma re-engenharia conceitual. Mas de que se trata uma "re-engenharia conceitual" ? Trata-se sobretudo de reformular conceitos, dar nova luz a palavras que de tão usadas acabam por perder muito de seu sentido original. Dizer "Esquizofonia" em vez de "Música" não é uma simples intenção poética. A poesia não está de maneira alguma excluída, mas o objetivo aqui é muito mais engendrar novos ângulos sobre as coisas tratadas do que se reduzir a uma definição meramente didática. Daí igualmente a variedade caleidoscópica dos textos tratando de um mesmo assunto nas seções/rizomas. Não se reduzir a uma só visão, virar os ângulos de observação, descobrir novas percepções. Fazer pensar. 3 Índice POR QUE SOMOS CONTRA A PROPRIEDADE INTELECTUAL? - Pablo A ARTE DA PIRATARIA MUSICAL - Jorge Pereirinha Pires Ortellano PÁGINA - 6 PÁGINA - 28 A CULTURA DA RECICLAGEM - Marcus Bastos COPYRIGHT E MAREMOTO - Wu Ming PÁGINA - 9 PÁGINA - 41 A DEMOCRACIA DO BOOTLEG - Os bootlegs tomaram conta das CRIAR E COMPARTIR - Rafael Evangelista pistas e estações de rádio. - Vítor Angelo PÁGINA - 45 PÁGINA - 15 ENTREVISTA COM O RE:COMBO PARA A REVISTA TRÓPICO - Giselle A PROPÓSITO DE READYMADES - Marcel Duchamp PÁGINA - 17 Beiguelman O QUE É ARTE XEROX - Hugo Pontes PÁGINA - 48 PÁGINA - 18 ENTROPIA SOCIAL E RECOMBINAÇÃO - Bifo (Franco Berardi) SOBRE ARTE, RECICLAGEM E CHIPS ELETRÔNICOS NA ÉPOCA DA PÁGINA - 51 COMPRESSÃO DO TEMPO - Fernando José Pereira IMAGINE UM MUNDO SEM COPYRIGHT - Joost Smiers e Marieke van PÁGINA - 20 Schijndel CIBERATIVISTAS PREOCUPADOS COM DIREITOS AUTORAIS - Renata PÁGINA - 54 Aquino ISUMMIT 2006, CREATIVE COMMONS E CORY DOCTOROW - PÁGINA - 24 Cristiano Dias CÓPIA DE LIVRO E PIRATARIA – TUDO DIREITO - Marilene Felinto PÁGINA - 57 PÁGINA - 26 KLF CONTRA A INDÚSTRIA MUSICAL - Uma breve biografia do Kopyright Liberation Front - John Bush 4 PÁGINA - 59 PLÁGIO UTÓPICO, HIPERTEXTUALIDADE E PRODUÇÃO CULTURAL ELETRÔNICA - Critical Art Ensemble LICENÇA CREATIVE COMMONS - Glenn Otis Brown PÁGINA - 62 PÁGINA - 90 MANIFESTO COPIAR LIVRO É DIREITO! - Movimento Copiar Livro é PLUNDERPHONIC - Alexandre Matias Direito!

  • Co-Production and the Politics Of
    CO-PRODUCTION AND THE POLITICS OF USABLE KNOWLEDGE FOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION IN TANZANIA by MEAGHAN ELIZABETH DALY B.A., Colorado College, 2005 M.A., Columbia University, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Environmental Studies Program 2016 This thesis entitled: Co-production and the Politics of Usable Knowledge for Climate Adaptation in Tanzania written by Meaghan Elizabeth Daly has been approved for the Environmental Studies Program Lisa Dilling (Chair) Mara Goldman Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. IRB protocol # ____________________ ii Daly, Meaghan Elizabeth (Ph.D., Environmental Studies) Co-production and the Politics of Usable Knowledge for Climate Adaptation in Tanzania Thesis directed by Dr. Lisa Dilling and Dr. Mara Goldman ABSTRACT The concept of ‘co-production’ is increasingly offered as an approach to enable more responsive and inclusive processes of knowledge production across a range of disciplines. While it is recognized that uneven power relations play a significant role in shaping co-production processes, how these dynamics affect, and are affected by, intentional efforts to ‘co-produce’ usable knowledge is not well understood. In this dissertation, I examine the multiple ways in which power is exercised within efforts to ‘co-produce knowledge’ for climate adaptation decision-making in Tanzania, and with what effect. I do so through a multi-scalar mixed methods case study.

  • Exploring the European Youth Mosaic
    Exploring the European youth mosaic The social situation of young people in Europe Lynne Chisholm Siyka Kovacheva 2 My Life I would like my life to be something more than a simple race, I would like my life to be not only full of summit and disgrace. I would like my life to be as an arrow in the sky, I would like my life to be as a chance for me to fly.

  • Two Relationships to a Cultural Public Domain
    NEGATIVLAND_FMT.DOC 02/25/03 2:08 PM TWO RELATIONSHIPS TO A CULTURAL PUBLIC DOMAIN NEGATIVLAND* INTRODUCTION It’s been well over ten years since Negativland was sued by Island Records for supposed copyright infringement, trademark infringement, defamation of character and consumer fraud contained in our 1991 U2 single. In the big wide world of the ownership of ideas, a lot has changed since then—the advent of the Internet and its worldwide empowerment of individuals through personalized interconnection, the effects of economic globalization and how it bypasses both the ideologies of local governments and the rule of their national laws, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act with which intellectual property owners are attempting to survive as all these rugs are being pulled out from under them. There is a contemporary realization that, on one hand, the fate of all content is now in the hands of its receiving audience more than ever before, and, on the other hand, that worldwide commerce is scrambling to forge all kinds of new laws and regulations to maintain their traditional control over the fate of “their” content. Over the last decade, Negativland has continued to be associated with these issues, sometimes because we volunteer ideas on these subjects, sometimes because we continue to make art that ends up evoking them. Other than the two lawsuits against us in the wake of the U2 single, we’ve never been sued again. There have been other scares, skirmishes, and threats against us over the years, at various times from the Recording Industry Association of America, PepsiCo, Beck, Geffen Records, Philip Glass, Fat Boy Slim, the CD pressing plants we work with, and even attorneys for ax murderer David Brom.

Earls..................... représentant du doyen Abstract The goal of this dissertation is to understand conceptualizations of risk among homeless youth. In particular, it strived to examine an identified "at-risk" group's understanding of risk. Risk in this study encompassed all notions of risk, and was not limited to a narrow definition of perceived harm, but also embraced references of opportunities or chances taken. In this light, this study employed an ethnographic approach to better understand the worlds of homeless youth, relying on participant observation and informal interviewing methods. This ontological approach hoped to capture how youth conceptualize their personal power in estimating, managing, and avoiding or embracing risk. Coupling social constructionism with symbolic interactionism, this study explored participant's understandings of risk in the contexts in which they found and understood themselves. Participant's evolving identities greatly impacted their perceptions of risk and subsequently, their management strategies.

  • Chapter 1: Hope
    # Chapter 1: Hope The Woodstock Nation, as the young counter-culture has been called, receives its information largely from under- ground radio stations, from television, and from the cin- ema. And since English teachers agree that we learn to communicate by imitation . why not ask the student to express himself in the way he is most often communicated to? By the time he reaches college composition class, he has already learned the language and the techniques of visual communication. Therefore, an alternative to written com- position classes . is obviously the filmmaking class. (Rich- ard Williamson, 1971, “The Uses for Filmmaking as English Composition”) Professor Bond introduced the workshop by stating that he found the first twenty years of CCCC boring, though he had attended faithfully and had wanted to enjoy the meetings. Now he feels that a workshop on film promises that we are on the threshold of something big and important and differ- ent. (Martha Heasley Cox, 1969, Recorder, CCCC Workshop Reports) We research a question, hoping to support our hunches, the graspy sense of value we attach to our work. Often, we struggle. Sometimes, we find leads that trace a coherent line through vibratory invention fields. Sometimes, we find that someone has been there before, not in a vague whispery way, but in a way that says, “I’ve always been after what you are now about.” In this latter scenario, one might be disappointed, move on to new ideas, seeking the hot young thing that will leave its shiny mark. Alternatively, in this “been there” scenario, we might also find that the earlier gesture was—while charmingly affect-laden and hopeful—somewhat less than ideally complete in its rhetor- ical validity, less than fully supported but nonetheless worthy of publication because of its passion and hope and desire.
