Hector Postigo: The Digital Rights Movement [Audio interview]
No full textHector Postigo is the author of The Digital Rights Movement: The Role of Technology in Subverting Digital Copyright, in which he presents three case studies of a broad group of loosely knit organizations and individuals that address issues concerning fair use, free speech, privacy, and innovation in the digital environment. None of these concerns are new but the digital medium has changed the social, legal, and economic configuration in which the stakeholders operate. Users are no longer simply passive receivers of content but producers as well. Anyone with a computer can generate new and original online content, or can reuse and remix content in creative ways. This is a real watershed for creation and innovation and the digital rights movement is motivated by a vision of culture as shared and participatory. Expanded conceptions of fair use and free speech are essential to facilitate this vision. Individuals, organizations, and businesses that “own” content through government-granted copyrights have an interest in maintaining control in their works, for commercial and other reasons. The lines dividing users, creators, and content owners are very fluid, so much of this story is about the evolution of legal rules – government regulation – with regards to copyright and digital technology. By looking at three different cases in which the nascent digital rights movement struggled with the owners and producers of technology and commercial media over the meaning of fair use, free speech, and cultural production, Hector Postigo provides a unique perspective on the profound changes that digital technology has set in motion for cultures, economies, and polities.

O retrato de Andy Warhol: o artista segundo Arthur Danto
No full textThe present dissertation consists on the analysis and bibliographical revision of North
American philosopher Arthur Danto’s work. The aim of this research is to seek in Danto’s works his “idea” of the artist and to analyse the way North American artist Andy Warhol is used as an example and as the main figure in this idea. Danto does not structure this idea conceptually, however is is possible to extract it by means of his examples in which artists are in. The research was divided into three moments: Danto’s theoretical fundaments and influences that sustain his main concepts, which are the concept of art and of the “end of art”; usage of examples of artists in Danto’s work and demonstration of his “ideia” of artist; Andy Warhol’s analysis according to Danto and other authors. In the course of the dissertation, there will be stablished dialogues between Danto and Georg Hegel, Clement Greenberg, Thierry de Duve, Hal Foster, Lucy Lippard, Hector Obalk.A presente dissertação consiste na análise e revisão bibliográfica da obra de Arthur Danto, filósofo norte-americano. O intuito dessa pesquisa é buscar nas obras de Danto seu “modelo” de artista e analisar a forma como ele utiliza o exemplo de Andy Warhol, artista norteamericano, como principal figura desse modelo. Danto não estrutura esse modelo conceitualmente, no entanto é possível extraí-lo a partir dos exemplos em que são utilizados artistas. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em três momentos, a saber: as fundamentações e influências teóricas de Danto que sustentam seus conceitos principais, que são o de arte e do de “fim da arte”; o uso de exemplos de artistas na obra de Danto e a demonstração de seu “modelo” de artista; a análise de Andy Warhol a partir de Danto e outros teóricos. Serão
estabelecidos, ao longo da dissertação, diálogos de Danto com Georg Hegel, Clement Greenberg, Thierry de Duve, Hal Foster, Lucy Lippard, Hector Obalk
Incorporating biodiversity in climate change mitigation initiatives
No full textClimate change mitigation initiatives based on biological sequestration of carbon have paid little attention to biodiversity, with important implications both for climate change mitigation and for ecosystem services that depend on biodiversity. Here the chapter reviews the theoretical and empirical evidence for forest biodiversity effects on carbon sequestration. This chapter suggests that protection of primary forests is the most effective option for maximizing carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems, and should be included in future international agreements. Because carbon sequestration is a long term goal, this chapter presents the case that avoidance of losses should be emphasized over short term uptake, and that maintenance of mixtures of dominant and subdominant species and genotypes are the safest option for carbon sequestration in plantations and agroforestry systems. Biodiversity conservation should be included in the development of policy for climate change mitigation initiatives based on carbon sequestration in forested systems, including those related to the Kyoto Protocol
