[ The Citation Culture ] Publicado en: The Citation Culture https://citationculture.wordpress.com/2015/10/28/the-facebook-ization-of-ac… The Facebook-ization of academic reputation? October 28, 2015 — Sarah de Rijcke Guest blog post by Alex Rushforth<http://www.cwts.nl/People/AlexRushforth> The Facebook-ization of academic reputation? ResearchGate, Academia.edu and Everyday neoliberalism How do we explain the endurance of neoliberal modes of government following the 2008 financial crisis, which could surely have been its death-knoll? This is the question of a long, brilliant, book by historian of science and economics Philip Mirowski, called ‘Never let a serious crisis go to waste’<http://www.versobooks.com/books/1613-never-let-a-serious-crisis-go-to-waste>. Mirowski states that explanations of the crisis to date have accounted for only part of the answer. Part of the persistence of neo-liberal ideals of personhood and markets comes not just directly from ‘the government’ or particular policies, but is a result of very mundane practices and technologies which surround us in our everyday lives. I think this book can tell us a lot about new ways in which our lives as academics are increasingly being governed. Consider web platforms like ResearchGate and Academia.edu: following Mirowski, these academic professional networking sites might be understood as technologies of ‘everyday neoliberalism’. These websites share a number of resemblances with social networking sites like Facebook – which Mirowski takes as an exemplar par excellence of this phenomenon. He argues Facebook teaches its users to become ‘entrepreneurs of themselves’, by fragmenting the self and reducing it to something transient (ideals emanating from the writings of Hayek and Friedman), to be actively and promiscuously re-drawn out of various click-enabled associations (accumulated in indicators like numbers of ‘likes’, ‘friends’, comments) (Mirowski, 2013, 92). Let us briefly consider what kind of academic Academia.edu and ResearchGate encourages and teaches us to become. Part of the seductiveness of these technologies for academics, I suspect, is that we already compete within reputational work organisations (c.f. Whitley, 2000), where self-promotion has always been part-and-parcel of producing new knowledge. However, such platforms also intensify and reinforce dominant ideas and practices for evaluating research and researchers, which – with the help of Mirowski’s text – appear to be premised on neoliberal doctrines. Certainly the websites build on the idea that the individual (as author) is the central locus of knowledge production. Yet what is distinctly neoliberal perhaps is how the individual – through the architecture and design of the websites – experiences their field of knowledge production as a ‘marketplace of ideas’ (on the neo-liberal roots of this idea, see Mirowski, 2011). This is achieved through ‘dashboards’ that display a smorgasbord of numerical indicators. When you upload your work, the interface generates the Impact Factor of journals you have published in and various other algorithmically-generated scores (ResearchGate score anyone?). There are also social networking elements like ‘contacts’, enabling you to follow and be followed by other users of the platform (your ‘peers’). This in turn produces a count of how well ‘networked’ you are. In short, checking one’s scores, contacts, downloads, views, and so on is supposed to give an impression of an individual user’s market standing, especially as one can compare these with scores of other users. Regular email notifications provide reminders to continue internalizing these demands and to report back regularly to the system. These scores and notices are not final judgments but a record of accomplishments so far, motivating the user to carry on with the determination to do better. Given the aura of ‘objectivity’ and ‘market knows best’ mantra these indicators present to us, any ‘failings’ are the responsibility of the individual. Felt anger is to be turned back inward on the self, rather than outwards on the social practices and ideas through which such ‘truths’ are constituted. A marketplace of ideas indeed. Like Facebook, what these academic professional networking sites do seems largely unremarkable and uncontroversial, forming part of background infrastructures which simply nestle into our everyday research practices. One of their fascinating features is to promulgate a mode of power that is not directed to us ‘from above’ – no manager or formal audit exercise is coercing researchers into signing-up. We are able to join and leave of our own volition (many academics don’t even have accounts). Yet these websites should be understood as component parts of a wider ‘assemblage’ of metrics and evaluation techniques with which academics currently juggle, which in turn generate certain kinds of tyrannies (see Burrows, 2012). Mirowski’s book provides a compelling set of provocations for digital scholars, sociologists of science, science studies, higher education scholars and others to work with. Many studies have been produced documenting reforms to the university which have bared various hallmarks of neoliberal political philosophical doctrines (think audits, university rankings, temporary labour contracts, competitive funding schemes and the like). Yet these latter techniques may only be the tip of the iceberg: Mirowski has given us cause to think more imaginatively about how ‘everyday’ or ‘folk’ neoliberal ideas and practices become embedded in our academic lives through quite mundane infrastructures, the effects of which we have barely begun to recognise, let alone understand.

Job posting: Digital Scholarship Librarian at San Diego State University
by Taylor,Laurie Nancy Francesca 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hi all, The deadline for the Digital Scholarship Librarian position at San Diego State University (SDSU) has been extended. It does require a library/information science degree (ALA or foreign equivalent) so that would mean folks like me wouldn’t be applicable. SDSU is doing really exciting work, as with their DH Initiative. Importantly, “SDSU is a large, diverse, urban university and Hispanic-Serving Institution with a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence” which reminds me of the description often used for FIU, and FIU is an amazing (amazing!) institution that I am very happy to have the privilege to work with regularly with the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC, www.dloc.com<http://www.dloc.com>). I don’t have direct knowledge/experience with SDSU, other than some contact with Jessica Pressman in the DH Initiative, who is fabulous. I hope to work with whoever is hired in the Digital Scholarship Librarian, with SDSU doing a regional DH start-up grant, and the Florida Digital Humanities Consortium looking at doing similar and different things statewide in Florida. This looks like a great position, and I look forward to seeing it filled! Best wishes, Laurie ======================= Deadline Extended-- Digital Scholarship Librarian San Diego State University San Diego, CA SDSU Library & Information Access seeks applications and nominations of dynamic, innovative, and service-oriented candidates for the position of Digital Scholarship Librarian.

Announcement: ACH and GO::DH Proposal Mentoring for DH 2016
by Roopika Risam 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Dear GO::DH members, In cooperation with the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), GO::DH is offering mentoring for DH 2016 proposals. GO::DH is also interested in assisting members in forming panels for the conference. Please read below for further details. Sincerely, Roopika (on behalf of the conference committee) *ACH and GO::DH Proposal Mentoring for DH 2016* Proposing a paper, poster or panel for the Digital Humanities (DH) conference can be confusing, especially for people who are doing it for the first time. The proposal requirements may seem unusually complex, and interpreting them can be difficult. But we want you there! With this proposal-feedback opportunity, experienced DHers are volunteering to review your proposal to help it meet the specific guidelines of DH2016 <http://dh2016.adho.org/cfp/>. To submit a draft for feedback, please fill out this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1AKqpPWr6PXMDloaN3T699DXDDRiQXBbEAaaFMMaK3H…>. You will need to provide a URL (e.g. for a Google Doc, file in Dropbox or on your own server, etc.) where a reviewer can access your draft. The ACH / GO:DH feedback coordination team will match your submission to a reviewer, who will provide you with feedback comments via email. Since DH2016 is accepting proposals in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Polish, we aim to provide feedback for drafts in these languages. We aim for a turnaround time of one week, so that you will receive comments on your proposal in time to make any changes and submit it via the DH2016 ConfTool site (https://www.conftool.pro/dh2016) by their due dates. Last call for reviews is Friday, October 23rd. Given the diverse scope of topics discussed at the conference, reviews are not designed to provide subject expertise but to provide feedback based on reviewers own experiences submitting and/or reviewing DH proposals. While we believe feedback from previously successful applicants will be helpful, feedback from reviewers cannot guarantee acceptance by the DH2016 Program Committee. If necessary, priority will be given to those who have not previously had a proposal accepted for ADHO’s Digital Humanities conferences. If you would like to volunteer to provide feedback on DH 2016 drafts, please fill out this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oq2Eh3bNQ5peqK--IrPaqH2fx33682ciXbr_w8OSxk…> . Please contact Roopika Risam (rrisam(a)gmail.com) <rrisam(a)gmail.com> or Miriam Posner (miriam.posner(a)gmail.com) with any questions about DH 2016 proposal mentoring. *GO::DH Panel Assistance* In addition, the GO::DH conference committee would like to assist GO::DH members with forming panels for DH 2016. Have an idea for a panel? Interested in finding panelists? We're happy to help. Any DH topic that moves forward the interests of GO::DH is welcome. We are able to support the official languages of the conference: English, Spanish, German, Italian, and Polish. Please see the CFP here: http://dh2016.adho.org/cfp/ (mouse over "CFP" to read the call in French, German, Italian, Spanish, or Polish). Please contact Roopika Risam (rrisam(a)gmail.com), Barbara Bordalejo ( barbara.bordalejo(a)kuleuven.be), and Élika Ortega (elikaortega(a)gmail.com) to express interest by Friday, October 16th. The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH, http://ach.org) is your professional society for the digital humanities! Through our activities <http://ach.org/activities>, conferences <http://ach.org/conferences>, and publications <http://ach.org/publications>, we support computer-assisted research, teaching, and software and content development in humanistic disciplines. Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (GO::DH, http://www.globaloutlookdh.org) is a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations <http://digitalhumanities.org/> (ADHO). The purpose of GO::DH is to help break down barriers that hinder communication and collaboration <http://dpod.kakelbont.ca/2012/11/02/in-a-rich-mans-world-global-dh/> among researchers and students of the Digital Arts, Humanities, and Cultural Heritage sectors in high, mid, and low income economies. -- Roopika Risam, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English Salem State University http://roopikarisam.com
