Defining Fair Use Inside Higher Ed Share
When it comes to the boundaries between exempted "fair use" of copyrighted materials and unlawful infringement, academic libraries spent 2011 in a defensive crouch. Last May, a trio of academic publishers, with backing from the Association of American Publishers, laid out in court documents what they believe to be the limitations of fair use in the context of electronic library reserves. Then, in September, the Authors Guild sued a group of research libraries over its attempts to build a shared repository holding digital copies of their collections. More

More In Digital Age, Sourcing Images Is as Legitimate as Making Them Wired News Share
For decades, the photographer Paul Shambroom has trained his lens on the infrastructure of America, from nuclear weapons storage facilities to manufacturing plants; local council meetings to emergency response teams. His investigations require mountains of research and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road. Known for his large-format, purposefully composed photographs, Shambroom is a distinguished name. And yet, he is ready to put his approach and techniques aside for a joyride in the sea of online digital images. More
The Architecture Meltdown Salon Share
When the Great Recession dawned, architecture was the glamour profession of the creative class. Extravagant, signature buildings—Frank Gehry's titanium-clad Guggenheim Museum in Spain’s Basque country, Richard Meier's white-travertine Getty Center in Los Angeles, and multimillion-dollar concert halls in seemingly every city in the United States—drew not only press attention but the kind of architectural tourists who once visited Italian duomos. More Lead or Follow: An ArtsJournal Discussion ArtsJournal Share
Increasingly, audiences have more visibility for their opinions about the culture they consume. Cultural institutions know more and more about their audiences and their wants. Some suggest this new transparency argues for a different relationship between artists and audience. In this age of self-expression and information overload, do our artists and arts organizations need to lead more or learn to follow their communities more? More
The Case against Internationalization Chronicle of Higher Education Share
Is internationalization becoming too popular? When ideas become too popular, then academics, despite their feisty image, are less willing to dissent. Associate deans or assistant professors have plenty of their own battles to fight, like getting their share of the budget or winning tenure. When they see the internationalization theme sweeping across campus, they resign themselves to yet another academic fad. They keep their head below the parapet, quietly focusing on their own or their departments' interests. Being against internationalization may look like being against diversity: a highly risky personal proposition. More Academic Freedom and Indentured Students Academe Share
Over the past thirty years, students' freedom has been progressively curtailed—not in their immediate rights to speech but in their material circumstances. Now, two-thirds of American college students graduate with substantial debt, averaging nearly $30,000 (if one includes charge cards) in 2008 and rising, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics and other sources. In my view, the growth in debt has ushered in a system of bondage similar in practical terms, as well as in principle, to indentured servitude. The analogy to indenture might seem exaggerated but actually has a great deal of resonance. More
To Be or Not to Be Inside Higher Ed Share
Detractors of the century-old American Philosophical Association (APA) often complain about what they say are its dysfunctional ways. Many women openly ridicule the Smoker, a quasi–job fair at the organization's eastern conference where free beer is the norm; some have questioned the need for three regional conferences instead of one national meeting; and many more like to vent about its website, which has a late-1990s feel to it. Late last year, APA formed four committees to explore the future of the organization, suggest remedial measures, and come up with ideas to improve its declining finances. The groups would investigate four specific areas: membership and member services, communication and publication, development, and structure and governance. More The Story behind Mike Kelley's Highly Personal Project for the Whitney Biennial Artinfo.com Share
Critics remember Mike Kelley as an artistic polymath—he was a writer, musician, critic, and artist whose media ranged from felt paintings to stuffed animals to high school yearbook photos. But many in the art community of Detroit, where Kelley grew up, find themselves coming back to one artwork in particular when reminiscing about the artist: Mobile Homestead. The unfinished replica of Kelley's childhood home was to function simultaneously as a public artwork, community center, and private monument. The work is more timely than ever: three documentaries Kelley made to chronicle the life of Mobile Homestead will be featured in this year's Whitney Biennial. Back in Detroit, however, the future of the work—Kelley's only piece of public art and his only permanent installation in his hometown—is now uncertain. More |
