Dear all,I'm very grateful to RedHD for translating in Spanish my article on the monopolies of knowledge. I really hope it would be of interest for members of this list:
http://humanidadesdigitales.net/blog/2016/07/25/el-desafio-de-asia-ante-los-monopolios-del-conocimiento/
It would be if someone could translate it or summarize it in other languages on his/her blog or website. Yes, these are all things we already know, but I think it is important that our community circulate these news and reiterate our objection to the present system of academic publishing. It is not enough for commercial publishers to bring our libraries to their knees. Now they want to eliminate cultural and linguistic diversity: multilingualism it's too expensive.
The RedHD article is part of an ongoing research that Ernesto Priego and I will be presenting (hopefully) next October in Toronto:

And speaking of knowledge diversity, please don't miss this great article just twitted by Ernesto:

All the best
Domenico
