  • Creative Commons: The Next Generation, by Alan N. Shapiro

    Building on top of copyright as it has been conceived and implemented in our legal traditions, Creative Commons offers a palette of six different standardized licenses developed by specialist lawyers that change the name of the game of intellectual property rights protection from ‘all rights reserved’ to ‘some rights reserved’.

  • Die Software der Zukunft, von Alan N. Shapiro

    Meine Vorgehensweise ist prinzipiell transdisziplinär. Transdisziplinarität ist nicht dasselbe wie Interdisziplinarität. Ich denke, dass Interdisziplinarität ineffizient ist, weil sie impliziert, dass es lediglich Dialoge und Kooperationen zwischen bereits existierenden Disziplinen bzw. akademischen Wissenschaftsbereichen bedarf, um Wissensentwicklung voranzutreiben.

  • Discover America und die Idee der Baudrillard-Company, von Alan N. Shapiro

    Baudrillards Amerika ist – um es einmal vorsichtig auszudrücken – nicht wirklich gut angekommen.

Digital Culture is social media like Facebook and mobile communications like smartphones.

  • Jean Baudrillard and Albert Camus on the Simulacrum of Taking a Stance on War, by Alan N. Shapiro

    Unlike other thinkers such as Chomsky, Baudrillard is not ‘against war’. Baudrillard’s position is rather that of being ‘neither for nor against’ contemporary hyper-real mediatized wars, and seeing the imperative of choosing whether one is ‘for’ or ‘against’ war as being something of a forced and imposed simulacrum.
