Welcome Clemens
Welcome Clemens. Clemens has just joined the Peer Preview Group. He has been with us for a while and has also shared some articles with us, such as this one:
http://www.thenextlayer.org/node/165 and also this one http://www.thenextlayer.org/node/520
Now Clemens is about to write chapter 1 of his thesis and once done will share it with us he said. So maybe others would also like to say hello to him and maybe Clemens might want to add to this introduction. As an Austrian living in Berlin, how do you get on with the Prussians?

hopen the satellite continues to orbit
as she shines brightly when she comes into view
seen from 'down here' in the crispness following winter's solstice
and soon a first daffodil will burst open
recalling bodies unwrapped and revealed again
a belated welcome
a belated welcome clemens, sorry for my late reply.
my subjects for phd unfortunately do not cross over into any of you peeps here's texts in a large way, even though it is great to read about others interests, so i now retreat back to satellite position. i'm glad however that things are starting to cook for those that wish, and that the three of you, armin, doll and clemens are starting to feed into each others texts... the written word is too linear for me, as is the computer screen but i appreciated the comment about life and subjectivity to your text doll... i think i commented that to one of your texts armin two years ago.
best wishes and love

bleeding language and the slow read/food movement at TNL
hello
i think one of the good features about TNL is that it does not presume English as the main language, so i am sorry that i did presume your (clement's) thesis wd be in english
:b
i will be interested in whichever bits n bobs u post here in english, and biblio stuff also...i had a look at The Best of 2600:online last night, looks full of useful things...!
your (Capprich) excavation of the 90s digicities is a great idea...i wish a had a metaphor for my work.. i recall that public netbase is one of the orgs? they did amazing work from what i recall..one of those tiny orgs that was consistently punching above its weight, so to speak... and disappointing but not surprising that they got royally shafted in the gentrification of the museum quartier (but mebbe i am remembering tis all wrong..that was my impression anyway)
regarding the slow food movement and TNL....and the slow read movement also... speaking just for myself..there is never any expectation that anyone here will read my stuff or comment on it necessarily..its great if it happens, and very useful suggestions have been made...but also...my stuff is so inchoate and messy much of the time i feel bad if anyone takes too much time with....the p2p text is such an example...i still have a lot more to write, and then to prune back...to actually discover what is the point i am trying to make!
this for me is a huge challenge..coming much more from this intuitive art-making, poetry-writing background....i really resent having to be clear and logical for the uni writing....and perhaps my resistance makes my stuff even cloudier
anyway...i love the slow food movement, and wish that a phd could be modelled on this...the more i get into eating organic and biodynamic foods and talking to farmers the more i realise that it is all about the soil;....
so much of research for art or for the study is playing in the soil..the experimenting with the different nutrients to enrich the humus...the plant (the thesis, the chapter, the conference paper) is really just the final thing....
but it is what people experience, more than the rich soil which nurtured the plant..that remains invisible
i think what i upload to TNL is a series of experimental mud pies
i don't know when the real plants will grow, or what form they will take
uploading revised p2p biblio
i am going to uploaded my revised and expanded p2p biblio today, and see what happens ..hopefully the biblio function here will just pick up the new entries and not duplicate the existing ones
it is cool that the biblio here also picks up any abstracts or notes that have been pasted in to the biblio in endnote
i know it is not cool using a proprietary app like endnote but it is the one our uni gives us, and it has their handy preferred style option built in, so that's why i am using it .. when i am finished the thesis i will explore the FLOSS alternative..which i think armin uses...
tool for references
hi clemens
yes, there is a tool for managing references in tnl. It is called biblio. under 'content by type' --> bibliographies you can see all the references which we have collectively uploaded.
you can do this in different ways. if you just want to add a few references, you do that by hand, so to speak by going to 'create content' and then select 'biblio'
you can also do bulk upload. this depends on how you manage your references. doll_yoko just made a nice bibliography for p2p related texts, which she had assembled in endnotes, exported as xml file and imported in tnl. other formats are RIS and bib - there is a variety of formats possible.
you can do this by going to administer --> site configuration -- biblio settings. after clicking on bibliosettings there is a tab on top right for file uploads. if you upload a bulk of files make sure they are tagged so that they are findable. you can check individual uploads by going to 'recent posts' in the navigation menu under your name left hand side (all other important functions are also there).
or, of you dont want to go through all that, you could of course also just make a selected short bibliography, maybe with some comments, why those texts are important for you and post them here in this group

bloody language barriers
hi doll!
unfortunately my thesis will be written in german, so the first chapter as well. but at the beginning of july i'm invited to a conference, where i will sum up some of the main ideas. i'll try to translate the lecture, in order to post it here.
what i'm intrested in at the moment, is the notion of the "digital city" as a metaphor to produce a specific kind of knowledge. by excavating the digital cities of the 1990s, i want to "find" some of this buried and almost forgotten knowledge, which - that's the hypothesis - is at the core of new forms of governmentality. or as nikolas rose puts it: "government through communities"!
what i can do in the meantime, is to post some of my literature. i think there is a feature for that on tnl, isn't it?! furthermore i'll have a look at your draft and will write a comment as soon as possible...
a+ clemens
ps. a "jewel" which i found some days ago: Emmanuel Goldstein: The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey (2009)!
anticipating your chapter one - raw, toasted, baked or burnt!
Hi clements
welcome :-)
i read the texts from the 2 links armin pasted above, and reckon we would have some complementary bibliographic references at the very least
looking forward to reading your first chapter, and you already know i guess that in the private spaces of TNL it is really permissible and welcoming to share stuff that is still quite nascent/rough/raw....
cheers from the southern hemisphere
