TILTS 2011, Symposium One: Access, Authority, and Identity

This symposium will focus on the threshold concepts of access,
authority, and identity in the electronic mediation of humanness. What
do innovations in the digital provision of access and maintenance of
authority mean for human identity, and conversely, what do new ideas
about, and forms of, identity mean for our evolving norms of access,
authorship, and authorization? A number of high-visibility electronic
experiments in radical access and the reconfiguration of authority
have now come – and many have gone. What have we learned, and in what
ways have these experiments changed humanities conversations broadly?

All events are free and open to the public.
