In the sciences, the merits and ramifications of open access-the
electronic publishing model that gives readers free, irrevocable,
worldwide, and perpetual access to research-have been vigorously
debated. Open access is now increasingly proposed as a valid means
of both disseminating knowledge and career advancement. In Digitize
This Book! Gary Hall presents a timely and ambitious polemic on the
potential that open access publishing has to transform both
"papercentric" humanities scholarship and the institution of the
university itself. Hall, a pioneer in open access publishing in the
humanities, explores the new possibilities that digital media have
for creatively and productively blurring the boundaries that
separate not just disciplinary fields but also authors from
readers. Hall focuses specifically on how open access publishing
and archiving can revitalize the field of cultural studies by
making it easier to rethink academia and its institutions. At the
same time, by unsettling the processes and categories of
scholarship, open access raises broader questions about the role of
the university as a whole, forcefully challenging both its
established identity as an elite ivory tower and its more recent
reinvention under the tenets of neoliberalism as knowledge factory
and profit center. Rigorously interrogating the intellectual,
political, and ethical implications of open access, Digitize This
Book! is a radical call for democratizing access to knowledge and
transforming the structures of academic and institutional authority
and legitimacy.
