Description
This strand on writing, publishing and the politics of communication operates within the remit of the CREATe project Whose Book Is It Any-way to open out debates on copyright, open access and emergent busi-ness models in order to address the wider ethics and politics of commu-nication inside and outside of the academy. This politics is oriented not just toward a contest over, say, the future of the book as an ana-logue/digital object, but also toward questions of publishing ethics, care, relations and process. How might we respond, intellectually and practi-cally, to the observation that academic publishing at least, has become a relatively closed circuit? Readers of academic books are also predomi-nantly (or potentially) authors of academic books and, with a wide-spread interest in digital first academic publishing, may well, in due course, become the publishers of academic books. What are the oppor-tunities here for redirecting our free labour (increasingly demanded from mainstream publishers, and increasingly differentiated according to gender, career stage development and so on) away from economies of innovation and toward those of experimentalism, invention and inter-vention?
