media in transition 5: creativity, ownership and collaboration in the digital age an international conference April 27-29, 2007 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Full CFP: http://web.mit.edu/comm-forum/mit5 CALL FOR PAPERS (submission deadline: Jan. 5, 2007) Our understanding of the technical and social processes by which culture is made and reproduced is being challenged and enlarged by digital technologies. An emerging generation of media producers is sampling and remixing existing materials as core ingredients in their own work. Networked culture is enabling both small and large collaborations among artists who may never encounter each other face to face. Readers are actively reshaping media content as they personalize it for their own use or customize it for the needs of grassroots and online communities. Bloggers are appropriating and recontextualizing news stories; fans are rewriting stories from popular culture; and rappers and techno artists are sampling and remixing sounds. These and related cultural practices have generated heated contention and debate. What constitutes fair use of another's intellectual property? What ethical issues are posed when sounds, images, and stories move from one culture or subculture to another? Or when materials created by a community or religious or ethnic tradition are appropriated by technologically powerful outsiders? What constitutes creativity and originality in expressive formats based on sampling and remixing? What obligations do artists owe to those who have inspired and informed their work and how much creative freedom should they exercise over their borrowed or shared materials? One source of answers to such questions lies in the past -- in the ways in which traditional printed texts -- and films and TV shows as well -- invoke, allude to and define themselves against their rivals and ancestors; and -- perhaps even more saliently -- in the ways in which folk and popular cultures may nourish and reward not originality in our modern sense, but familiarity, repetition, borrowing, collaboration. This fifth Media in Transition conference, then, aims to generate a conversation that compares historical forms of cultural expression with contemporary media practices. Among topics the conference might explore: * history of authorship and copyright * folk practices in traditional and contemporary society * appropriating materials from other cultures: political and ethical dilemmas * poetics and politics of fan culture * blogging, podcasting, and collective intelligence * media literacy and the ethics of participatory culture * artistic collaboration and cultural production, past and present * fair use and intellectual property * sampling and remixing in popular music * cultural production in traditional and developing societies * Web 2.0 and the "architecture of participation" * creative industries and user-generated content * parody, spoofs, and mash-ups as critical commentary * game mods and machinima * the workings of genre in different media systems * law and technological change Short abstracts of no more than 200 words for papers or panels should be sent via email to Brad Seawell no later than January 5, 2006.

Boston Marketing Club Networking Event Produced by the Boston Chapter of the American Marketing Association The relationship between Sales and Marketing has traditionally been challenging in most organizations. Those challenges often relate to the knowledge of the market and the prospects. Both have strong opinions supported by their own research or anecdotal experience. But in the end: Who has the best point of view? Who takes the lead when making decisions about customers? Who should senior management be listening to? Simply put, who knows the customer better, sales or marketing? We need your opinion on June 27th at the next Boston Marketing Club event. And now, the Boston Marketing Club has expanded to include Portsmouth, NH! The Boston Marketing Club is a fresh approach to networking. Meet some new people, discuss hot-topics and participate in real-time opinion polling led by “the CONNECTORS*.” Check out a previous event. If you’re tired of the old routine (get a nametag, grab a drink, shake some hands and drop a few business cards), then get ready for something new. We’ve found a better way to network! Price: $10 for AMA members. $30 for non-members Billiards and appetizers are included / cash bar. EVENT IS TAKING PLACE IN TWO LOCATIONS Flat Top Johnny's (http://www.flattopjohnnys.com) One Kendall Square, Bldg 200, Cambridge, MA Billiards and appetizers are included / cash bar.

Bobby Bare Jr. w/ Lucero
Where: The Middle East Downstairs
Date: 2007-11-02 20:00:00
Type:
With a big-as-the-room persona, an ability to rock the doors off the most jaded of clubs, the heart to hold a room completely still with just his guitar, and a genius for arrangement, Bobby Bare, Jr. and his band of merry makers are one of the most unique bands around. They are adept at abandoning common sense in favor of laying themselves at the feet of a rambunctious, freewheeling, and unfettered and unhinged muse. Disarmingly charming, foolishly romantic and unapologetically thunderous when needed, The Longest Meow lays bare (sorry about that) Bobby's willingness to do anything to get the girl, even if we all know it'll somehow end badly. From dynamic atmospherics and psychedelic melancholy to pulsing T. Rex glam boogie and down and dirty southern ROCK, Bobby fearlessly wears his heart on his stained and sweaty shirtsleeve. http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/bobbybarejr/251Event submitted by Eventful.com on behalf of BSHQ.
