Political Economy of Digital Literacy and the Promise of Participatory Media
ISBN 978-951-44-7281-7 (pdf)
ISBN 978-951-44-7280-0 (bound)

A Web 2.0 possui um novo espírito de colaboração, parceria e cooperação em vários campos de ação na esfera digital. Este livro defendo que  nós estamos na direção de uma transformação progressiva de formas institucionalizadas e individualizadas da aprendizagem da colaboração. Este livro resulta da tensão entre, por um lado, o fascínio com o uso de novas tecnologias de aprendizagem e práticas na promoção de um futuro socialmente mais justo, e por outro lado, uma visão crítica dos motores imóveis do desenvolvimento da sociedade da informação.

Call for Papers 16th International Conference on Electronic Publishing

June 14-15, 2012, Guimarães, Portugal
ATENÇÃO | Prazo de submissão: 9 de janeiro de 2012
Social Shaping of Digital Publishing: Exploring the interplay between Culture and Technology


SCOPE
Since the advent of the Web the processes and forms of electronic publishing have been changing. The Open Access movement has been a major driver of change in recent years in regard to scholarly communication. However, on other fields of application, such as e-government or e-learning, the changes are also evident. These are, in most cases, driven by technological advances, but there are many cases where social reality change pushes technology development. The social and the mobile Web and linked data are currently shaping the edge of research on digital publishing. Liquid publishing is on the more daring agendas. Digital Preservation is an issue that poses great challenges, still far from solved. The legal issues, security and trust continue to deserve our full attention.  We need new visualization techniques and Innovative Interfaces that keep pace with the global dimension of information. This is the current scenario, but what will follow? What technologies and social and communication paradigms will we be discussing in ten or twenty years?
Elpub 2012 will be focusing on the social shaping of digital publishing by exploring the interplay between culture and technology. It is fitting that we are hosting the conference in the European Capital of Culture for 2012, Guimarães.
We welcome a wide variety of papers from members of the communities whose research and experiments are transforming the nature of electronic publishing and scholarly communications. Topics include but are not restricted to these seven main areas:

3 – The Social and Mobile Web
Concepts, models and innovative applications for the social Web and for the mobile Web. Challenges and achievements of electronic publishing in mobile environments. Context-aware pervasive systems. Geo-location and electronic publication. Information retrieval. The social Web in mobile environments. Results of field studies and software applications.
4 – The legal, secure and trustful Web
Copyright and legal issues. Convergence, divergence and relationships between existing copyright models. Machine-readable information and interoperability on copyright. Authentication. Security and privacy on publishing and in cloud computing. Theoretical models or tools to ensure the reliability of sources. Results of field studies and software applications.
5 – Innovative interfaces, interaction and visualization
New models of interfaces for electronic publication. New interfaces for impaired people. Models and visualization applications for Web 3.0 and 4.0 and for cloud computing. Results of field studies and software applications.
