The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Robinson de Paul Valéry : édition génétique
No full textL’ambition de ce projet est de réaliser l’édition génétique numérique de « Robinson », un des « contes » du recueil Histoires brisées de Paul Valéry, dont la parution posthume date de 1950. Seule une édition génétique nous semble en mesure d’appréhender de manière satisfaisante ce « Robinson ». Les quelques pages publiées actuellement dans l’édition des Histoires brisées ne sauraient rendre pleinement compte de son ampleur, de sa richesse, ni de la poétique qui le fonde. En effet, la manière..
Service delivery review: a how to manual for local government
No full textThis resource aims to assist councils assess the services they provide for local communities.
Service Delivery Review: A How to Manual for Local Government brings together advice, toolkits and templates to help councils regardless of size with this critical task.
The centrepiece of the Manual is a \u27framework for a service delivery review.\u27
The Manual meets an increasing need from within the sector for practical guidance in undertaking service delivery reviews that are consistent with current local governance practice and processes.
"This is a significant issue for local councils," said ACELG Director, Associate Professor Roberta Ryan and the Manual\u27s co-author: "Local government service provision has transformed significantly over recent decades, as well, community expectations of local government have increased while other levels of government have devolved various functions."
The Manual is intended for council staff such as department managers, elected members, CEOs and general managers, community engagement staff, and builds upon ACELG research Service Delivery Reviews in Australian Local Government (2012) and discussions from the short course \u27Enhancing Local Government Service Delivery\u27 run by the UTS Centre for Local Government (UTS:CLG).
Dr Tim Robinson, Director of Sector Engagement and Teaching with UTS:CLG, and second co-author said that the Manual was written with a certain amount of \u27future proofin\u27 in mind, and that "ocal government service delivery reviews are mandatory in a few jurisdictions or are driven by local or sector reform processes.

La leçon des choses. Robinson ou la répétition
No full textpeer reviewedRoman à ce point connu qu'il n'est plus guère lu, texte tronqué parce que trop réécrit, Robinson Crusoe tire peut-être bien de tout ce que Rousseau appelait son « fatras » l'essentiel de sa signification. Actes rituels, besognes et constructions, plaintes et méditations, prières et prêchi-prêcha font de ce texte un roman de la répétition dans lequel un héros calculateur soumet les objets divers qui l'environnent à une comptabilité compulsive. La leçon des choses est trompeuse : le principe d'utilité qu'elles proclament masque assez mal qu'elles restent prises, aux yeux de Robinson, dans la logique marchande qu'elles semblaient suspendre
