Residual Votes Attributable to Technology: An Assessment of the Reliability of Existing Voting Equipment
American elections are conducted using a hodge-podge of different voting technologies: paper ballots, lever machines, punch cards, optically scanned ballots, and electronic machines. And the technologies we use change frequently. Over the last two decades, counties have moved away from paper ballots and lever machines and toward optically scanned ballots and electronic machines. The changes have not occurred from a concerted initiative, but from local experimentation. Some local governments have even opted to go back to the older methods of paper and levers
Poetics/Poelitics of materiality in latin american digital poetry
Este artÃculo propone leer la poesÃa digital latinoamericana en vinculación con el acontecimiento poético-polÃtico que emerge cuando se considera su materialidad. Dar visibilidad a la materialidad habilita limitar la naturalización de los sentidos que vienen asociados a la cultura digital hegemónica contemporánea. Esto se logra desde procedimientos que ponen de relieve tanto los diversos niveles de materialidad inherentes a cada evento artÃstico literario digital —materialidad textual de superficie, materialidad relacional de las interfaces tanto de software como de hardware, materialidad del código— como los modos convencionales de ser con y hacer sentido de los entramados técnicos digitales que organizan nuestra vida cotidiana.This paper aims to read Latin American digital poetry in regards to the poetic-political event that emerges whenever its materiality is considered. To make materiality visible enables one to restrict the naturalization of meanings associate with contemporary hegemonic digital culture. This is accomplished through artistic procedures that emphasize, on the one hand, the multiple levels of materiality inherent to digital literary works— surface/textual materiality, software and hardware interface relational materiality, code materiality—and, on the other hand, the conventional ways to interact with and build meaning within the digital space that organize everyday life.Fil: Kozak, Claudia.

Money, (Co)Production and Power in Digital
This article discusses the contribution of critical political economy approaches to digital journalism studies and argues that these offer important correctives to celebratory perspectives. The first part offers a review and critique of influential claims arising from self-styled new studies of convergence culture, media and creative industries. The second part discusses the contribution of critical political economy in examining digital journalism and responding to celebrant claims. The final part reflects on problems of restrictive normativity and other limitations within media political economy perspectives and considers ways in which challenges might be addressed by more synthesising approaches. The paper proposes developing radical pluralist, media systems and comparative analysis, and advocates drawing on strengths in both political economy and culturalist traditions to map and evaluate practices across all sectors of digital journalism
