Science, Sexuality, and the Novels of Huxley and Houellebecq
Full text linkIn her article Science, Sexuality, and the Novels of Huxley and Houellebecq, Angela C. Holzer begins with an introduction to recent discourse about contemporary culture by Francis Fukuyama, notably in his book Our Posthuman Future (2001). Next, Holzer introduces twentieth-century literary representations of genetic engineering. Focusing on Huxley\u27s Brave New World (1932) and on Houellebecq\u27s Les Particules élémentaires (1998), Holzer discusses differences in utopian literature when linked to metaphysical aspects of reproduction and that are owing to changes in the life sciences and medicine. Further, Holzer explores the implications for poetics resulting from scientific developments and relates Houellebecq\u27s perspectives to Zola\u27s idea of the experimental novel and to Nietzsche\u27s notions of science. Holzer traces Houllebecq\u27s text and its reactionary politics to Romantic literature and the late nineteenth-century discussion of marriage, Christianity, and reproduction in Tolstoy\u27s writing. The insight to be gathered is the interrelation between the development of modern science up to the completion of the Genome Project and its impact on poetics (i.e., on form) and on representation (i.e., content) of science and the scientist in the two novels at hand

Materia-autore = Author-Matter
Full text linkThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship

Deliberation and journalism
No full textThe first chapter in 'International Journalism and Democracy' re-examines current ideas about the role of journalism in promoting democracy, introducing the concept of "deliberative journalism". 'Deliberation and Journalism' lists the ways in which journalists can assist deliberation and politics in communities around the world. The chapter defines deliberation as a specific form of conversation that precedes and promotes decision-making and action by members of a community. The author recognises the difficulty of engaging in deliberation in communities that are divided by different interests, identities, backgrounds, resources and needs. She provides examples of strategies that journalists can use to encourage inclusive and productive deliberation in the face of community diversity.\ud
\ud
The chapter introduces examples of types of deliberative journalism that have emerged around the globe. These include strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public journalism, civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, environmental journalism, and social entrepreneurism. The chapter also includes models of journalism that have not yet been given any particular name. Although the book identifies problems surrounding the theory and practice of these forms of journalism, the author notes that this is to be expected. Most models of deliberative journalism are relatively new, with none being more than a few decades old. The author concludes that resolution of these problems will only occur incrementally

Plan S für Open Access: »Great Transformation« im Publikationswesen. Ein Schwerpunkt zur Orientierung in bewegten Zeiten
Full text linkPlan S ist ein wissenschaftspolitisches Projekt mit dem Ziel, ab 2021 alle Resultate wissenschaftlicher Studien, die mit öffentlicher Förderung durchgeführt wurden, unmittelbar Open Access, also zugangsfrei zu publizieren. Die Autor*innen des Symposions diskutieren aus verschiedenen Perspektiven, was dieser Plan für das soziologische Publizieren bedeutet. Cori Mackrodt von Springer VS erläutert die Perspektive eines Großverlags, der sich zunehmend auf Open Access einrichtet, und verweist auf Ambivalenzen der Umstellung. Kathrin Ganz, Vertreterin einer Open-Access-Plattform, schildert die Probleme des bisherigen Publikationssystems unter digitalen Bedingungen und benennt wünschenswerte Alternativen. Angela Holzer, die bei der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft für Open Access zuständig ist, stellt die Maßnahmen und Prinzipien der deutschen Forschungsorganisationen dar. Tilman Reitz schließlich, Soziologe an der Universität Jena, sieht das Interesse der Forschung in maximaler Zugänglichkeit, streng gedeckelten Publikationsgebühren und ergänzenden Regeln für nicht allein (sozial-)wissenschaftliche Verlage.
Plan S is a research policy project which aims to make immediate Open Access publishing mandatory for receivers of public funding from 2021 onwards. The authors of this issue discuss the impact and meaning of this plan for publishing in sociology from different perspectives. Cori Mackrodt of the publishing house Springer VS explains the perspective of a big publisher which is increasingly moving to Open Access, and highlights ambivalences of the transformation in question. Kathrin Ganz, who represents an Open Access platform, describes the problems which the old publishing system faces under digital conditions and lays out desirable alternatives. Angela Holzer, who is concerned with Open Access in the German Research Foundation, presents the guidelines and principles of research organizations in Germany. Finally, Tilman Reitz, a sociologist working at the University of Jena, argues for maximal accessibility, a rigid cost cap for publishing fees, and supplementary arrangements for publishers who offer more than just (social) science
