Can you help us? dm-l has been having trouble with or membership list...
by Daniel O'Donnell 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi all, As you may or may not have heard, the University of Lethbridge's mailing lists have been under what seems to have been intended as a sustain DoS attack (actually its not clear what the point of the attack was other than to be annoying): tens of subscription requests a minute from a limited number of addresses to all publicly available pages. The result is that list administrators have been overwhelmed by noise from their subscription pages (I just trashed 2k requests from the last few days). Lost in that noise have almost certainly been some real requests. Indeed, when I just checked now (the DoS seems to have calmed down), the majority of requests looked legitimate: real email addresses and real names that seemed to match the email addresses in the names boxes. If you know somebody who tried to join dm-l in the last two months, or if you recommended to somebody that they join dm-l in that time, could you check with them to see if they were ignored or rejected (you get an email when you are subscribed). And if they were, ask them to try resubscribing? The URL is here: http://listserv.uleth.ca/mailman/listinfo/dm-l Because it isn't 100% clear that the problem has stopped (our IT department is supposed to be working on installing a captcha to prevent automatic signups but hasn't done it yet), they should bother me personally if they can't get on this time. Thanks and apologies for this inconvenience. -dan -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Paolo Gerbaudo (King's College London) Abstract: Info-visualisation is a practice that has been widely utilised in contemporary digital culture, in order to get to grips with the complex patterns emerging from huge sets of data. Among the different categories utilising info-viz, including programmers, marketers, financial analysts, security personnel, and government advisors, also activists have found in info-viz a powerful visual language to get to grips with the complexity of social grievances and economic problems in a highly complex and globalised world. In my presentation I will look at the political positioning of info-visualisation as a radical political language in collectives such as Bureau d-Etudes and RTMark, as well as drawing on my own work infondoalmar.info. I will discuss the extent to which info-viz can constitute a platform for radical politics, and look at some possible lines of future development of these practices. Speaker bio: Paolo Gerbaudo (1979) is lecturer in Digital Culture and Society at King's College London. He has worked as a reporter for the Italian Left newspaper Il Manifesto and has been involved in anti-corporate, global justice and ecologist campaigns. His current research focuses on the use of new media and social media by social movements and emerging digital parties. He is the author of Tweets and the Streets (2012), a book analysing social media activism in the popular protest wave of 2011, from the Arab Spring, to the indignados and Occupy Wall Street. He has a PhD from Goldsmiths College, where he worked under the supervision of Professor Nick Couldry. He has previously taught at Middlesex University and the American University in Cairo. He is currently the convenor of the Digital Culture and Political Protest module at King's College London. The event is free of charge but registration is required.
