The politics of mass digitization
\"Today, anyone with an internet connection can access hundreds of millions of digitized cultural artifacts from the comfort of their desk. And every day cultural institutions and private bodies add thousands of new cultural works to the digital sphere. Mass digitization is forming new central nexuses of knowledge and new ways of engaging with that knowledge. What at first glance appears to be a simple act of digitization (a transformation of singular books from boundary objects to open sets of data), at closer examination reveals a complex process teeming with diverse political, legal, and cultural investments. This book argues that mass digitization has become a global cultural political project. It offers an in-depth examination of mass digitization of cultural memory in the West and beyond. It suggests a new approach to the study of digital cultural memory archives, proposing to understand mass digitization not as neutral technical processes, but rather as distinct subpolitical processes that build new kinds of archives and new ways of interacting with these archives. And it seeks to develop a critical theoretical framework for understanding the new archival apparatuses and the politics and memory dynamics they give rise to\"-- Provided by publisher.

Theorizing digital cultural heritage : a critical discourse
In Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage, experts offer a critical and theoretical appraisal of the uses of digital media by cultural heritage institutions. Previous discussions of cultural heritage and digital technology have left the subject largely unmapped in terms of critical theory; the essays in this volume offer this long-missing perspective on the challenges of using digital media in the research, preservation, management, interpretation, and representation of cultural heritage. The contributors -- scholars and practitioners from a range of relevant disciplines -- ground theory in practice, considering how digital technology might be used to transform institutional cultures, methods, and relationships with audiences. The contributors examine the relationship between material and digital objects in collections of art and indigenous artifacts; the implications of digital technology for knowledge creation, documentation, and the concept of authority; and the possibilities for \"virtual cultural heritage\" -- the preservation and interpretation of cultural and natural heritage through real-time, immersive, and interactive techniques. The essays in Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage will serve as a resource for professionals, academics, and students in all fields of cultural heritage, including museums, libraries, galleries, archives, and archaeology, as well as those in education and information technology. The range of issues considered and the diverse disciplines and viewpoints represented point to new directions for an emerging field. - Publisher.

Digitized Rights as an Electronic and Virtual Fiction for the Legal Support for the Turnover of Subjective Claims
Introduction: the paper examines the legal nature of such new categories as “digital rights”, “utilitarian digital rights”, “digital financial assets” and “digital currency”. The correlation of these phenomena with each other is clarified from the standpoint of modern civil turnover. The purpose of the study is to analyze the legally significant features of the above phenomena. Methods: the methodological framework for the study is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparative law. Results: the author’s position justified in the work is based on the legislation and the opinions of the competent scientists on the issues of clarifying the legal essence of the above-mentioned categories from the standpoint of civil law. Conclusions: the author suggests considering “digital rights”, “utilitarian digital rights”, “digital financial assets” not only from the standpoint of objects of civil rights, but also from the standpoint of the original digital form of fixing property rights. It is proposed to introduce the category “digitized rights” into the legal lexicon as a kind of fiction used to ensure the operability of the legal mechanism that mediates the turnover of subjective claims in the electronic and virtual environment.

Comunicación, técnica y metamorfosis de los modos de subjetivación: contribuciones del pensamiento de Simondon a los estudios en comunicación
La epistemología de la comunicación enfrenta un desafío derivado de la metamorfosis del mundo contemporáneo (Beck, 2017) y de la constitución de una nueva episteme (Rodríguez, 2020); dicho proceso sociohistórico de la contemporaneidad evidencia las transformaciones significativas de los modos de subjetivación del individuo en la relación consigo mismo, con el nosotros y con el mundo (Campillo, 2018).

Enabling mechanisms in business venturing of maritime autonomous technologies
Enabling factors for the commercialization of maritime autonomous technologies (MAT) have previously been identified in the literature: Digitalization, environmental requirements, changes in regulations and crew shortage, amongst others. We utilize a recently developed theoretical framework, the External Enabler Framework (EEF) from Per Davidsson, for clarifying enabling factors, enabling mechanisms, and their characteristics, and how they affect business venturing related to MAT. This paper relates to the Norwegian capacity-building project MIDAS, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The data is from a survey with a hundred respondents from the Norwegian maritime industries, conducted in September 2023. When comparing the EEF framework with our survey data, we identify four out of eight enabling factors and three out of nine mechanisms to be relevant for MAT. Comments are given on the applicability of EEF to such a complex industry sector as the maritime sector.
