LMYE Library #4: Krista Bonello Rutter Giappone - The Punk Turn in Comedy (2018)
No full textIn this oral introduction, Krista Bonello details the starting points and intellectual triggers of her research at the intersection of punk and ‘altcom’ which brought her to write The Punk Turn in Comedy: Masks of Anarchy (London: Palgrave, 2018). Bonello walks us through the various lines of thinking and case studies explored in the volume towards the rich conclusions she has drawn about both ‘genres’ as complex aesthetic and social strategies for political critique.

Calculating All That Jazz: Linking Technical Specifications to the Management of Digitization Projects
No full textThe purpose of this session is to educate librarians and archivists about the technical aspects of the digitization process and demonstrate how deeper understanding of those aspects can be used to evaluate the appropriateness of digitization standards, project scope, quality of digitization equipment and storage needs for digitization projects involving photographs and documents. Most scholarship on archival-quality digitization has focused on either elements of digital library project management or on technical specifications and how to digitize materials. "Calculating All That Jazz" focuses on presenting a formula for calculating digital storage space based on analog still images and documents, demonstrating how deeper understanding of the technical elements of digitization in the formula applies directly to crucial project management considerations
Figures Don't Lie: Spatial Humanities and Technology as Critical Thinking Tools
No full textThis presentation demonstrates the potential use of spatial humanities as both a critical thinking exercise and a computational tool in digital humanities pedagogy. “Figures Don’t Lie” presents a map of the United States that labels each state as a foreign nation according to the correlation between the GDPs of each state and their assigned countries. The map may spark classroom discussions about a range of humanities topics. Revealing the map’s underlying data shows how facts can be spun and helps students understand how the “facts” presented in the media may not be what they appear.Presented at Rutgers University's "Digital Humanities Showcase: New Methods and New Media" on January 29, 2014 (New Brunswick, N.J.)
Espousing Ezili: Images of a Lwa, Reflections of the Haitian Woman
No full textThis article examines the iconography of the two main female divinities in Haitian Vodou, Ezili Danto and Ezili Freda, using common chromolithographs of each personality. Images of the Ezilis are analyzed in the context of visual culture to discern how iconography informs viewers about the political position of Haitian women of the past and present. To realize this goal, the author addresses some of the complex dynamics that shaped the lives of colonial Haitian women as well as the contemporary factors affecting women's lives today.This article was originally published in Journal of Haitian Studies, http://www.research.ucsb.edu/cbs/publications/johs/Peer reviewe
Krista Bonello & Lena Wånggren (2023) : Working Conditions in a Marketised University System. Generation Precarity [book review]
No full textFull bibliographic record: Krista Bonello & Lena Wånggren (2023). Working Conditions in a
Marketised University System. Generation Precarity. Palgrave Macmillan
Cham. ISBN: 978-3-031-42657-5Academia has undergone a shift towards a market- and competition-based
governing system that is resetting its standards and values. This phenomenon,
known as neoliberal and performative academia (Pereira, 2017; Vatansever,
2020), academic and epistemic capitalism (Fochler, 2016) or careless academia
(Lynch, 2010), has intensified corporate culture at universities, imposing high
expectations on academics in terms of their productivity and eroding their
agency, autonomy and subjectivity. The book ‘Working Conditions in a
Marketised University System. Generation Precarity’ builds on this volume of
research on neoliberal academia, but its novelty lies in its primary focus on the
personal experiences of precariously employed post-PhD academics in the UK.
Their voices are brought together to discuss how precarious working
conditions are intertwined with the stages of academic and research careers.
This topic is presented over the course of seven chapters (including
introduction and conclusion). [excerpt]peer-reviewe

Calculating All that Jazz: Accurately Predicting Digital Storage Needs Utilizing Digitization Parameters for Analog Audio and Still Image Files
No full textLibrary professionals and library assistants who lack computer science or audiovisual training are often tasked with writing digital project proposals, grant applications or rationale to fund digitization projects for their institutions. Much has been written about digitization projects over the last two decades; digital storage has been highlighted as a central feature of any digitization project, especially the need to purchase additional storage mechanisms to house digitized collections. What is missing from the library science literature is a method for reliably calculating digital storage needs on the basis of parameters for digitizing analog materials such as documents, photographs, and sound recordings in older formats.Peer reviewe
