Critical Code Studies Working Group 2012 Jan 30-Feb 20, 2012
http://haccslab.com/?page_id=174
This three-week working group aims to develop readings and methodologies of Critical Code Studies, which examines the extra-functional significance of computer source code. The 2012 forum-based online working group is the follow-up to the highly successful CCSWG (2010), which brought together a community of researchers in ways leading to later scholarly presentations, papers, and book projects. Threads from CCSWG 2010 were later published in electronic book review. Read more about the first CCSWG: http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/firstperson/ningislanded.
The CCSWG is sponsored by the Humanities and Critical Code Studies Lab at USC (http://haccslab.com).
CCSWG12 will feature concentrated discussion threads and individual code critiques.
