  • Skate Life: Re-Imagining White Masculinity by Emily Chivers Yochim
    /A7J;(?<; technologies of the imagination new media in everyday life Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors This book series showcases the best ethnographic research today on engagement with digital and convergent media. Taking up in-depth portraits of different aspects of living and growing up in a media-saturated era, the series takes an innovative approach to the genre of the ethnographic monograph. Through detailed case studies, the books explore practices at the forefront of media change through vivid description analyzed in relation to social, cultural, and historical context. New media practice is embedded in the routines, rituals, and institutions—both public and domestic—of everyday life. The books portray both average and exceptional practices but all grounded in a descriptive frame that ren- ders even exotic practices understandable. Rather than taking media content or technol- ogy as determining, the books focus on the productive dimensions of everyday media practice, particularly of children and youth. The emphasis is on how specific communities make meanings in their engagement with convergent media in the context of everyday life, focusing on how media is a site of agency rather than passivity. This ethnographic approach means that the subject matter is accessible and engaging for a curious layperson, as well as providing rich empirical material for an interdisciplinary scholarly community examining new media. Ellen Seiter is Professor of Critical Studies and Stephen K. Nenno Chair in Television Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her many publi- cations include The Internet Playground: Children’s Access, Entertainment, and Mis- Education; Television and New Media Audiences; and Sold Separately: Children and Parents in Consumer Culture.

    SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2016 RAJAB 30, 1437 AH No: 16866 PM urges US military Sevilla, Liverpool expansion of supporting advance to Kuwait oil industry Yemen in fight Europa worldwide4 against Qaeda7 League48 final Sadiq Khan London’s first Muslim mayor Min 29º 150 Fils Labor suffers nationwide setbacks Max 39º LONDON: Labor lawmaker Sadiq Khan was elected mayor of London yesterday, beating the ruling Conservatives’ candidate Zac Goldsmith to the coveted position, Sky News reported. The official announcement was expected later and Sky based the report on its own calculations. The position of London mayor provides an influential platform to lobby the government in the interests of London’s 8.6 million residents. Thus London became the first EU capital with a Muslim mayor with the election of Khan in elections that also saw Labor party suffer nationwide setbacks. The race to replace Boris Johnson pitched two very different candidates against each other-Khan, the son of a Pakistani bus driver and a seamstress, against Goldsmith, whose father was a wealthy financier. A Khan victory would offer some cheer for embattled Labour chief Jeremy Corbyn after local election losses elsewhere in England failed to dispel questions over the veteran socialist’s leadership. Corbyn, who has faced opposition from cen- trists in his party since becoming leader last year, insisted his party had “hung on” and surpassed expectations. “All across England last night we were getting predictions that we were going to lose councils. We didn’t,” he said. “We hung on and we grew support in a lot of places.” With results in from 110 out of 124 councils, Labor had 55, down one, and 1,176 seats, down 25.

  • Intellectual Property Norms Governing Roller Derby Pseudonyms
    Articles Talk Derby to Me: Intellectual Property Norms Governing Roller Derby Pseudonyms David Fagundes* Some groups use endemic social norms rather than formal law to regulate their intellectual property (IP). This qualitative empirical study extends and critiques existing work on this topic by examining how roller derby skaters guarantee exclusive use of the pseudonyms under which they compete. Roller derby names are a central part of this countercultural, all-girl sport, adding to its distinctive combination of punk and camp. Skaters have developed an elabo- rate rule structure, registration system, and governance regime to protect the uniqueness of their pseudonyms. The development of this extralegal governance scheme despite the ready availability of IP theories (e.g., trademark, right of publicity) to protect derby names shows that IP norms emerge independently of law’s substantive (un)availability, so long as the relevant group is close-knit and the norms are welfare enhancing. These groups are especially likely to craft formal regulation and registration schemes to buttress informal norms where the relevant community is identity constitutive and where the intangible goods arise from nonmarket production. This study also suggests another way of thinking about the problem of supplying property systems, casts (further) doubt on the coherence of the prevailing neoclassical economic assumptions underlying IP law, and reflects on what it means for rules to be law. * Associate Professor, Southwestern Law School.
