Dear all, With apologies for cross-postings, this is to
remind you that we have about 10 days left until the June 7 deadline for the
submission of extended abstracts for the 2010 Free Culture Research Conference
(FCRC), which will take place October 8-9, in Berlin. The event follows from
last year’s one-day workshop at Harvard University: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/fcrw/Main_Page Online CFP: http://wikis.fu-berlin.de/display/fcrc/Home Program Committee: http://wikis.fu-berlin.de/display/fcrc/Academic+Program+Committee Please find also the CFP below: Deadline for extended abstracts: June 7,
2010 The 3rd Free Culture Research Conference Free Culture between Commons and
Markets: Approaching the Hybrid Economy? The Free Culture Research Conference
presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the
promotion, study or criticism of a Free Culture, to engage with a
multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most
important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the
future of Free Culture. This event builds upon the successful workshop held in
2009 at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University,
organized and attended by renowned scholars and research institutions from the
US, Europe and Asia. The first event was held in Sapporo, Japan, in 2008, in
conjunction with the 4th iCommons Summit. This year's event is larger in
ambition and scope, to provide more time for interaction in joint as well as
break-out sessions. It is hosted jointly by the Free University of Berlin and
the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies and will take place at
October 8-9, 2010 at the Free University Campus in Berlin, in collaboration
with COMMUNIA, the European Network on the digital public domain. Funding and
support is also provided by the Heinrich Böll Foundation. Given this year's theme and the generous
support of the Free University's School of Business and Economics, we encourage
submissions at the interface of Free Culture and business, although we welcome
submissions from any relevant discipline, will be inclusive and will maintain
the interdisciplinary nature of the event, as in previous years. Enabled by new
Internet technologies and innovative legal solutions, Free Culture prospers in
the form of new business models and via commons-based peer production, thereby
both challenging and complementing classic market institutions. Alongside
business perspectives, we expect that perspectives from law, IT, the social
sciences and humanities will help us develop a better understanding of the
challenges at hand, for individuals, business, law, the economy, and society at
large. Topics of interest include: * Studies on the use and
growth of open/free licensing models * Critical analyses of
the role of Creative Commons or similar models * The role of Free
Culture in markets, industry, government, or the non-profit sector * Technical, legal or
business solutions towards a hybrid economy * Incentives, innovation
and community dynamics in open collaborative peer production * Economic models for
the sustainability of commons-based production * The economic value of
the public domain * Business models and
the public domain * Successes and failures
of open licensing * Analyses of policies,
court rulings or industry moves that influence the future of Free Culture * Regional studies of
Free Culture with global lessons * Best practices from
open/free licensing, and the application of different business and
organizational models by specific communities or individuals * Definitions of
openness and freedom for different media types, users and communities * Broader economic,
sociopolitical, legal or cultural implications of Free Culture initiatives and
peer production practices * Methodological
concerns in the study of Free Culture http://wikis.fu-berlin.de/display/fcrc/Home On behalf of the organizing committee: Giorgos Cheliotis Assistant Professor Communications and New
