An Appaper or App Paper is an alternative mode of production and of dissemination / presenting papers at conferences. As for its form, it consists of an interactive app or e-book, where it is possible to read, comment, dialog and even re-write the contents of an author’s presentation. In what regards its content, this particular App Paper is a sociological e-book, or s-book, meaning an e-book where its central content is of sociological nature, but in this case articulated with other domains or issues.
This specific Appaper is the first one of its genre. It was made in connection with the Virtual Congress Connections: Exploring Heritage, Architecture, Cities, Art, Media, 2020, organized by the University of Kent, at Cantebury, United Kingdom.
This Appaper is available in the following interactive formats:
Mac desktop app (click Open or Open with the right mouse button)
Windows desktop app (click .exe file to Open)
e-pub (use some e-pub reader: Calibre, etc.).
Please note that Mac and Windows apps are the best options to get the full interactivity explained here for an App Paper. Interactivity and other features vary according to the different epub readers's features. E. g. when using Calibre (download it free at Calibre's site https://calibre-ebook.com), go to Preferences to choose the best ways to view and use it in your computer.
If you want a mobile app, in the Android and/or iOS formats, please contact me at pjoandrade@gmail.com.
Non inteactive formats (.mov, .pdf) can also be download, at this site.
This App Paper is in its 1st version. Which means that App Papers may have several versions.
In fact, each version works as a palimpsest. In other other words, new texts of the same book can be published.
In other words, at each moment, the reader reads the same book, but different texts of that book.
An example of an Art Paper is Viral Cultural Tourism and Mobilities via Mobile Devices: Open Reserach using Open Methods and Open Media, presented at Conference Connections, Exploring Heritage, Architecture, Cities, Art, Media, the 30 June 2020.
