Just For The Record organizes its second event, Gender Redirect, a day bringing attention to gender representations in language constructions. Gender Redirect takes over the threads developed in the previous event, heroine, and continues its analysis of the process of Wikipedia editing, with its specific functions such as ‘view history’ and ‘talk page’, analysis tools like metrics and operations like redirection and disambiguation - to investigate the possibilities and challenges of gender-neutral writing.
Femke Snelting, artist and designer, working at the juncture between design, feminism and free software. Femke co-initiated the project pattern.en.paternalism, a contribution proposed to Pattern, a web mining module initiated by the Computational Linguistics & Psycholinguistics research center at the University of Antwerp. The pattern.en.paternalism feature should detect if and to what extent a text could be considered ‘paternalist’. Through this project and other ones, Femke explores the actual conditions, context and work of annotation involved in the practice of datamining.
