Conference Paper: "Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a Finch: Adorno, Utopia and Open Access Publishing" (Lincoln University)

Co-presented with Dr. Caroline Edwards: "Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a Finch: Adorno, Utopia and Open Access Publishing", Lincoln University, 21st-Century Research Group, Weds 27th Feb 4.15-5.30, MC0024

This paper addresses the specific threats faced by the recent Finch Report and will be a practical introduction to the future problems that will occur from the way in which Open Access is being implemented. It will also, however, be a show of optimism; power structures are dispersed and it is my strong contention that, through action (ironically, given the Adornion frame through which this will be viewed), we will prevail in the time that remains by building our own alternatives.
