Networked Social 2013-2014

A propos The Networked Social [FR]
Dans le cours, nous utiliserons le concept de “networked social” pour engager une pensée critique sur le numérique et comment il sert de médiateur à nos vies. Ceci impliquera d’explorer “le social”: comment il est actuellement défini et mis en réseau. Les participants exploreront ces concepts à travers les différentes dynamiques qui rendent possibles un “networked social” : l’interaction des réseaux avec les protocoles et les algorithmes; la relation des réseaux avec la surveillance, la vie privée et la sécurité; les économies et les marchés qui co-construisent les réseaux; les interventions des politiciens…
Nous réaliserons tout cela à travers une combinaison de conférences, de workshops pratiques et d’excursions.

Méthode d’enseignement
* Le cours consistera en 30 sessions à l’Erg entre septembre 2013 et mai 2014.
* Il y aura des conférences, excursions, ateliers, projections de films et présentations de projets
* Porter attention au calendrier pour les lieux d’enseignement.
* Ne pas rater plus de 2 sessions
* Les enseignantes principales sont An Mertens, Femke Snelting, Wendy Van Wynsberghe
* De multiple invités interviendront : Anne Laure Buisson, Michel Cleempoel, Denis Devos, Nicolas Malevé, Seda Gürses, Marthe Van Dessel…

Mode d’évaluation
En plus de la présence et de la participation aux sessions, chaque participant devra aussi tenir un “journal” où il archivera ses expériences pour découvrir comment elles évoluent lorsque confrontées à des critères techniques, à des mises en question du design de la représentation en général, à des contraintes légales et au “networked social”.

Pré-requis
Vouloir dévoiler des mécanismes, algorithmes, machineries qui sont présents dans notre vie numérique quotidienne, avec un regard critique.
Vous pouvez apporter votre propre ordinateur mais ce n’est pas obligatoire.
You will need a minimum knowledge of English (both reading and speaking) as some of the reading material will be in English and some international guests won’t be able to discuss in French

About The Networked Social [EN]
In our course, we will use the concept of the ‘networked social’ as an entry point to critical thinking on the digital and how it mediates our everyday life.
This will entail exploring ‘the social’, how it is currently defined, and how it is ‘networked’. The participants will explore these concepts through the different dynamics that make a networked social possible: the interplay of networks with protocols and algorithms; the relationship of the networks with surveillance, privacy and security; the economies and markets that co-construct the networks; as well as the interventions by politicians. We will do this by offering a melange of lectures, hands-on workshops, and excursions. Each participant will also be expected to keep a ‘diary’. The diary will be an artifact for participants to ‘archive’ their experiences. moreover, it will be an object to discover how these experiences evolve when confronted with `technical requirements’, design challenges, legal constraints and the networked social.

How it works
The course consists of 30 sessions at ERG between September 2013 and May 2014. There will be lectures, discussions, excursions, workshops and a screening of videos, films and projects.
If you take part in the project, you are required to keep a diary for the duration of the project.
Sessions will not take place every week, so please check the calendar carefully. Please do not miss more than 2 sessions.
Some sessions will be taught in French or have French translation available but the main language of this course is English.

Project tutors: Wendy Van Wynsberghe, An Mertens, Femke Snelting

Therefore individual citizens have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring.”[184]” Continue reading
