Dear fellow labour scholars,<br><br>Thanks Michael. Sam Rose and Paul Hartzog were indeed in great form here in Manchester and will be with you all in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately I cannot attend, but I will attend the following conference with my forthcoming book (in press, hopefully in print in two months), The International Political Economy of Work, in which I conclude that peer to peer scenarios for work offer the most compelling arena for the restoring of agency and personal subjectivities. <br>
<br>The Media Ecologies and Postindustrial Production conference which I have just hosted in Salford went incredibly well and I&#39;ve created a slideshare site for it. If people would like to view the slides please send me an email.<br>

<br>
since you are  just returning from the first workshop on open infrastructures in Salford, where I appreciated your presentation with Sam Rose (the best I have seen in 3 years of travelling as far as I&#39;m concerned), I&#39;m hoping you can share your impressions here, since it was also very much collected with work, and organized by labour scholar phoebe moore?<br>

&gt; Subject: [iDC] Paul B. Hartzog - Re?Introduction<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt; not sure if I&#39;ve ever actually introduced myself here before,<br>
&gt; but since I&#39;ll be paneling at <a href="http://www.digitallabor.org" target="_blank">http://www.digitallabor.org</a><br>
&gt; Trebor asked me to post.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Here&#39;s the bit from <a href="http://digitallabor.org/speakers1/paul_hartzog" target="_blank">http://digitallabor.org/speakers1/paul_hartzog</a><br>
&gt; Paul B. Hartzog, one of the coiners of the word &quot;panarchy,&quot; is an<br>
&gt; independent scholar and hacker, currently teaching at the University<br>
&gt; of Michigan&#39;s School of Information. Recipient of an NSF IGERT to<br>
&gt; study complex systems, he has a Masters in Globalization and<br>
&gt; Environmental Politics from the University of Utah, and a Masters in<br>
&gt; Political Theory from the University of Michigan.  His work on<br>
&gt; panarchy hybridizes political philosophy/economy, network culture,<br>
&gt; complex systems, and critical social theory. His work online ranges<br>
&gt; from &quot;Panarchy and the Wikification of Politics&quot; to an important<br>
&gt; conversation with Trebor Scholz &quot;Toward a Critique of the Social Web.&quot;<br>
&gt; In addition to articulating emerging dynamics, Paul also is a<br>
&gt; cofounder of The Forward Foundation a consulting group that develops<br>
&gt; open-source infrastructure for collaboration and sharing. His clients<br>
&gt; include Howard Rheingold, Stanford University, and The Institute for<br>
&gt; the Future. He lives in Ann Arbor with his wife and two sons.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; but wait! there&#39;s more :-)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Way back when I realized that environmental commons and ecologies<br>
&gt; were also descriptions of emerging technologies,<br>
&gt; so I quickly drew the parallel while working with Elinor Ostrom,<br>
&gt; Howard Rheingold, et al,<br>
&gt; and dashed off in the direction of complex systems,<br>
&gt; where I encountered a plethora of valuable conceptual tools<br>
&gt; but no commitment to philosophy, merely method.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; My primary modes of interaction are verbal and face-to-face,<br>
&gt; so despite my advocacy of new technologies,<br>
&gt; I myself often have difficulty actually staying active with them. :-)<br>
&gt; The upside of this is that I love to talk to people,<br>
&gt; so feel free at the conference to corner me,<br>
&gt; offer your thoughts, and ask me questions.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As i said in the conclusion of<br>
&gt; &quot;Toward a Critique of the Social Web&quot; (with Trebor):<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; &quot;The invitation is always open.&quot;<br>
