"Creation and Publication of the 'Digital Manual’: Authority, Authorship and
Voice", a new project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK.
Have a look at our weblog http://sites.ace.ed.ac.uk/digital-manual/
The project looks at how the Digital Manual can be a paradigm for exploring
multi-authorship, co-creation and publication in other digitised textual forms
as well as how it can have relevance to the analogue book and serve as a
premise to learn valuable lessons. Specifically, it explores authority,
authorship and voice within this expanded domain of writing. It investigates
both the structures of power (e.g. hierarchy, heterarchy, peer to peer, etc.)
within creative communities as well as the authority and power of the manual
itself, within and outside these communities (e.g. the relationship of the
‘manual’ with current regulatory frameworks, such as Intellectual Property law
and, in particular, copyright). The project looks at four communities of
digital artists/practitioners: FakePress (www.fakepress.it), Sauti Ya Wakulima
(www.sautiyawakulima.net), UpStage (www.upstage.org.nz) and FLOSS Manuals
(www.flossmanuals.org).
