Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the publication of Articulating Media: Genealogy, Interface, Situation, edited by James Gabrillo and Nathaniel Zetter.

Like all Open Humanities Press books, Articulating Media is available open access:

http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/articulating-media/

Book description:

To ‘articulate’ media means to understand them by locating their connections in space and time. Articulating Media offers new approaches to the writing of technology and the technologies of writing by twinning an investigation of language with an attention to location. Where does media theory take place? How should media theory understand its own occupation of the spaces of media? What materialities might survive media’s many articulations and associations?

Liking the small format of these books in the Las Lecturas de Sileno series from Universidad Iberoamericana. They could almost fit into a wallet, let alone a back pocket.

The content is great too.

📢 We are excited to announce our final end-of-project conference

“Scaling Small: Community-Owned Futures for Open Access Books”,

which will be taking place online on April 20 & 21, 2023.

#OAbooks #openinfra #radicalOA #opensource #floss #preservation #metadata #dissemination

The Scaling Small philosophy is an intentional alternative to large-scale, commercial approaches to academic publishing. In addition to creating the community-led governance structures, archiving and preservation best practices, experimental book pilots and resources to support this, Scaling Small comes to the fore very clearly in 3 of COPIM’s main outputs: the Open Book Collective (OBC); ‘Opening the Future’ (OtF); and Thoth. As COPIM concludes, we hope to discuss and extend the organisational principle of Scaling Small in several ways, and with a variety of collaborators, while also thinking ahead about next steps.

Save the date & register here! More details coming soon!

@jpooley @openreflections Not sure
Hobma's case is proven. JPE has no APCs & we get good submissions from the global S. We're not 'low IF'. And middle aged academics at unis with $ for APCs or TAs [like me, SB] refuse to pay high APCs on *ethical* grounds, not financial ones. We also reward innovative publication choices among junior staff. These situations lend some credence to the major arguments of the DORA declaration,but it is early days. https://sfdora.org/ #openaccess #radicalOA

As I moved over to the hcommons.social server a bit of an #introduction. I am a cultural and media theorist working across the fields of (book) publishing and digital culture. My research explores the future of scholarly communications and experimental forms of knowledge production, incorporating processual and performative publishing, #radicalOA, scholarly poethics, media studies, book history, cultural studies, and critical theory. I am an Associate Professor at The Centre for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University where I currently oversee the post-publishing research theme and co-lead on the COPIM project (Community-Led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs). I also support various publishing projects & collectives, including the Radical Open Access Collective, Open Humanities Press, the Open Book Collective, and Post Office Press. I also published an openly available monograph, Living Books. Experiments in the Posthumanities (MIT Press 2021) https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262046022/living-books/
