The Cultural Economy of the CD/DVD Store and the Creation of Space
Consuming Cultural Hegemony, 2019Co-Authors: Harisur RahmanAbstract:In this chapter, I explain how technological changes, such as easy access to CD/DVD burning facilities and the Internet, have exponentially expanded the flow and circulation of digital images in the market. The (re)production and circulation of CD/DVDs create social space and the materiality of media where various forms of social interaction and Transaction Take Place and relations are formed.

Utopia and Critique
2015Co-Authors: Sam McauliffeAbstract:Utopian projection, over and above the determinate content it expresses and regardless of the particular field in which it comes to be articulated, is bound up with an act of critique. The impulse that animates such projection, the faculties it passes through, the materials it tests itself upon, and the configuration it culminates in, all this participates in a critical impetus of some form. As the expression of “the longing for what is not yet,” utopia traces the contours of something other than what is given at present; it discloses the possibility that what is could be different, a possibility that would otherwise remain unacknowledged and occluded. Its projection thereby points to a gap in the existing order of things, it shows that within the latter’s present state “something is missing”, and it calls this state to account for this unrealized possibility. “The essential function of utopia is a critique of what is present”, Ernst Bloch says in the course of an exchange with Adorno on this tendency. However fantastic a projection is, this means its trajectory is guided by an antagonism in reality, which its passage then indicates in inverse form (think of Foucault on the soul as utopian invention: its translucence a precise inversion of the dark terrain of the suffering body). And yet, it is no less true that the possible world held out by utopian projection only ever appears at a remove from us, as though blocked off to us; we do not know how to access it, how to render it something actual, or even how to situate it in relation to where we ourselves are. It appears to us as the Place that is, strictly speaking, nowhere. In this way it always carries the risk of leaving unchanged the present from which it has distinguished itself. It is for this reason that Louis Marin suggests that “Utopia is an ideological critique of ideology”; it is opaque to itself as a critical practice, the figure through which it is imparted is “blind”. This paper seeks to unfold a series of consequences that follow on from the double bind to which utopian critique is subject. By what means can a Transaction Take Place between reality and its utopian projections? How are we to understand a form of critique whose discursive efficacy seems to rest upon a fictive element? And, above all, how are we to negotiate with the paradox that, for Adorno, cannot be subtracted from utopian critique: “The utopian moment in thinking is stronger the less it… objectifies itself into a utopia and hence sabotages its realization”?

ONTOLOGY MAPPING FOR ERP BUSINESS PROCESS VARIATIONS
SEMNASTEKNOMEDIA ONLINE, 2013Co-Authors: Anang Kunaefi, Riyanarto SarnoAbstract:Ontology represent shared knowledge about certain domain. One important feature of ontology is its ability to grow or extend to express some new business changes. In a multi-tenancy architecture, like servicebased ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), both tenant and provider have their own ontology. Tenant’s small ontology must be matched or comply with provider’s big ontology before Transaction Take Place. Similarity computation for ontology will fail to address this problem, because both ontologies are different in size. Therefore, we use ontology mapping technique to measure whether tenant’s ontology is comply with provider’s ontology. We employ lexical and semantic similarity algorithm to do the mapping. The results indicated that this method can be used to check the compliance of tenant’s ontology with provider’s ontology.
