Point of View: Wikipedia Research Initiative Wikipedia has emerged as the de facto global reference of dynamic knowledge. Different stakeholders – Wikipedians, users, academics, researchers, Web 2.0 gurus, publishing houses and governments have entered fierce debates and discussions about what the rise of Wikipedia and Wiki cultures means and how they influence the information societies we live in. The Wikipedia project itself has been at the centre of much controversy, pivoted around questions of accuracy, anonymity, vandalism, expertise and authority. The Centre
for Internet and Society (Bangalore, India) and the Institute of Network
Cultures (Amsterdam, Netherlands) are working together to produce a critical
reader on Wikipedia and to build a Wikipedia Knowledge Network. Under the title
CPOV (Critical Point of View), we propose two events that bring together
different perspectives, approaches, experiences and stories that critically
explore different questions and concerns around Wikipedia. The proceedings from
these two events will result in a reader that consolidates critical points of
view about Wikipedia. Themes: Wiki
Theory, Wikipedia and Critique of Western Knowledge Production, Wiki
Art, Designing Debate, Critique of Free and Open, Global Politics of Exclusion,
The Place of Resistance, Wikipedia and Education. Critical

INC has published its fifth Reader: Urban Screens Reader, edited by Scott McQuire, Meredith Martin and Sabine Niederer. This publication was launched at the event Urban Screens 09: The City as Interface, which took place on 4 December 2009 in TrouwAmsterdam. About the book: The Urban Screens Reader is the first book to focus entirely on the topic of urban screens. In assembling contributions from a range of leading theorists, in conjunction with a series of case studies dealing with artists’ projects and screen operators’ and curators’ experiences, the reader offers a rich resource for those interested in the intersections between digital media, cultural practices and urban space. Urban Screens have emerged as a key site in contemporary struggles over public culture and public space. They form a strategic junction in debates over the relation between technological innovation, the digital economy, and the formation of new cultural practices in contemporary cities. How should we conceptualize public participation in relation to urban screens? Are ‘the public’ citizens, consumers, producers, or something else? Where is the public located? When a screen is erected in public space, who has access to it and control over it? What are the appropriate forms of urban planning, design and governance? How do urban screens affect cultural experiences? Contributors: Simone Arcagni, Alice Arnold, Giselle Beiguelman, Liliana Bounegru, Kate Brennan, Andreas Broeckmann, Uta Caspary, Sean Cubitt, Annet Dekker, Jason Eppink, Ava Fatah gen. Schieck, Mike Gibbons, M.
