Today (19 February) I’ll give a keynote lecture about “Tactical Publishing” during the Paper Bonds conference at CEFRES - Centre français de recherche en sciences sociales in Prague. Paper Bonds is about “how self-made books and non-commercial bookmaking practices can foster personal connections, shape identities and build communities across Europe and the Middle East”. Looking forward to listen to leading researchers Hélène Martinelli, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė and Ali Al-Moussaoui.

Had a great time this afternoon with @copim colleagues doing a collaborative peer review of my Deep Maps: Blue Humanities book. Tapestry proves to be a fantastic way of facilitating feedback. #DeepMaps #BlueHumanities #ExperimentalPublishing #Tapestries

Last Wednesday, my fellow XPUB1 classmates and me wrapped up the trimester with a collective folding, binding, and paginating party to make A_Mazing Machine[s]: Wordscapes to Liberate Language, the printed publication of our Special Issue 28!

My first few months at @xpub have been incredible. I am so proud of my classmates, the work we did together, and what we learned. I am also very grateful to our tutors, who have been super kind and inspiring!

All information, plus a PDF of the printed version, made with WeasyPrint is available on this Eleventy website we created to share all the things that we explored. It mirrors our incredible, legendary wiki. It was very interesting and insightful, so I published my notes about Using MediaWiki as a CMS for Eleventy.

Légitimations et subversions de l'Open : pour une analyse de l'openwashing dans la publication scientifique

Ce texte propose un état de l'art inédit sur la notion d'openwashing dans l'espace des publications scientifiques. En s'appuyant sur les phénomènes de washing, il aborde une variété de formes de détournement des principes de l'ouverture scientifique. À partir d'une analyse critique d'une littérature interdisciplinaire, le concept sténographique élaboré est appliqué aux plateformes numériques pour analyser de la déviance à bas bruit et à faible concernement. L'article apporte une meilleure compréhension de la genèse de l'openwashing à la fois comme concept critique et vecteur de discours de dénonciation de la déviance et de ses évolutions. Enfin, il permet de forger une définition ancrée dans le champ de la communication scientifique ouverte, autant que de légitimer son usage pour appréhender les mécanismes complexes de ses transformations.
