DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gian Marco Campagnolo\, University of Edinburgh\n"Digital 
 Copyright Hub and the Politics of Infrastructural Delegation"\nAbstract:\n
 Technological delegation has been a central theme in history of science an
 d technology scholarship since Langdon Winner first asked the question: do
  Artifacts have politics. Politics has been recognized even in contemporar
 y digital infrastructures. Proponents of the idea have drawn our attention
  to the myriad of ways in which technological systems are transformative o
 f their work environment. Politics here means doing more than what informa
 tion infrastructures seem to be doing prima facie. But what about infrastr
 uctures that do less than what they are supposed to do? Taking stock of em
 erging sociology of low expectations literature\, in this paper we respond
  by discussing the case of the copyright debate in UK and how it has been 
 Œstreamlined so that its solution could be delegated to a digital infrast
 ructure. Our description will exemplify a new type of infrastructural poli
 tics. By disabling the tense relations and urgent actions of the debate on
  copyright exceptions through shifting the site and objects of political c
 onflict to the always already incomplete character of technological realiz
 ations\, the low expectation infrastructure of the copyright hub provided 
 the innovative project of IP framework revision with momentum.
