Librologie 8 : Les Petits Cœurs De Tatie Nina
Librologie 8 : Les petits cœurs de tatie Nina Bonjour à vous, courageux public du Framablog ! Avec l’épisode d’aujourd’hui et le prochain, qui concluera cette première partie de saison Librologique, je vous propose d’ébaucher le portrait de deux personnalités importantes du monde Libre, parfois complémentaires, parfois opposées. Contrairement à Linus Torvalds ou Richard Stallman avec qui nous avions ouvert ces chroniques, il ne s’agit pas là de programmeurs ni de techniciens, mais d’auteurs : de ces auteurs qui réfléchissent sur leur propre droit — puisque le droit d’auteur, c’est bien conçu pour… les auteurs, non ? (Comment ça, « rien compris » ?) V. Villenave. Librologie 8 : Les petits cœurs de tatie Nina « En 1988, à l’âge tendre de 20 ans, je quittai ma ville natale de Urbana, Illinois, pour Santa Cruz en Californie, afin d’y poursuivre le rêve naïf de devenir hippie, new-age et ésotérique. Au lieu de quoi je suis devenue illustratrice et cynique. » C’est ainsi que Nina Paley raconte son histoire, de la banlieue de Chicago (Urbana, dont son père a été un maire courageux) à la Californie — le choix de Santa Cruz n’est pas innocent : indissociable des bouleversements sociaux des années 1960-1970, cette ville correspond bien à l’arrière-plan idéologique de la « Nouvelle Gauche » de cette époque, effectivement liée au mouvement hippie, mais également à l’avènement d’une conception nouvelle des sciences humaines (sociologie, psychiatrie alternative,…). Avec toutefois une tournure moins optimiste dans le cas de Paley : par exemple, elle revendique son choix de ne pas faire d’enfants comme un choix militant ; membre revendiquée duMouvement pour l’Extinction Volontaire de l’Espèce Humaine, sa principale préoccupation politique (tout au moins dans la période 1995-2005) semble être la surpopulation humaine. -
IP4D – Sustainable Production of and Fair Trade in Creative Expressions
IP4D – Sustainable Production of and Fair Trade in Creative Expressions Dr. Volker Grassmuck, Ph.D. contribution to the Research Workshop on Free Culture Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University Cambridge, MA, 23 October 2009 The point is not giving more to the poor but stealing less from them. (Jean Ziegler) The digital revolution provides great opportunities for free culture, i.e. cultural expressions that are free to circulate and build on. In this brief text I want to highlight three points: the overall idea of a Social Contract as well as the Culture Flat-Rate and a system of Fair Trade in creative expressions as two of its components. The guiding question is: How can a global Social Contract between creatives and society be established that ensures the freedom of culture and the sustenance of those who create it? A new Social Contract Under conditions of the digital age a new Social Contract between creatives and audiences (Grassmuck, 2008b, 2009) has to be negotiated, a new arrangement for the reciprocal „creative contributions“ by authors and by society (Aigrain 2008). The current debate on culture is focussed on property rights and their enforcement. The Social Contract is intended to refocus the debate on the issues behind the existing legal rules. The shift from the analogue to the digital knowledge order calls into question the boundaries between private and public, professional and non-professional, commercial and non-commercial. These are fundamental issues that should not be decided by case law but discussed in a broad inclusive debate by all of society based on empiric data and research. -

WIKINOMICS How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything
WIKINOMICS How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything EXPANDED EDITION Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams Portfolio Praise for Wikinomics “Wikinomics illuminates the truth we are seeing in markets around the globe: the more you share, the more you win. Wikinomics sheds light on the many faces of business collaboration and presents a powerful new strategy for business leaders in a world where customers, employees, and low-cost producers are seizing control.” —Brian Fetherstonhaugh, chairman and CEO, OgilvyOne Worldwide “A MapQuest–like guide to the emerging business-to-consumer relation- ship. This book should be invaluable to any manager—helping us chart our way in an increasingly digital world.” —Tony Scott, senior vice president and chief information officer, The Walt Disney Company “Knowledge creation happens in social networks where people learn and teach each other. Wikinomics shows where this phenomenon is headed when turbocharged to engage the ideas and energy of customers, suppli- ers, and producers in mass collaboration. It’s a must-read for those who want a map of where the world is headed.” —Noel Tichy, professor, University of Michigan and author of Cycle of Leadership “A deeply profound and hopeful book. Wikinomics provides compelling evidence that the emerging ‘creative commons’ can be a boon, not a threat to business. Every CEO should read this book and heed its wise counsel if they want to succeed in the emerging global economy.” —Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman, World Economic Forum “Business executives who want to be able to stay competitive in the future should read this compelling and excellently written book.” —Tiffany Olson, president and CEO, Roche Diagnostics Corporation, North America “One of the most profound shifts transforming business and society in the early twenty-first century is the rapid emergence of open, collaborative innovation models. -
