We had an interesting discussion of barriers to annotating that can be tied to the history of book ownership and book culture, and questioning if most people feel comfortable actually writing in books.įor some people, they might feel they are not quite ready to make a mark in the margins even privately or publicly.

Remi describes how there was a shared understanding then that your notes in the margins was not just private and was being written not only for personal meaning making but also served as a sort of social interaction with your peers. In the early book culture on England, Europe in the 17s people would commonly share books as the supply was low. And yet a really interesting thing can happen when we can share texts. It’s how they try to have conversations with ideas or the presumption of a conversation with the author. Private book marginalia is cherished by a lot of people. Remi frames the act of annotation as one that” holds this really special place between reading and writing.” And he also notes that the barrier of entry for annotation is very low, that these are well known literary practices of reading and writing that most people are already fluent in. Nate Angell’s zoom background playing with the idea of an image atop another image as a meme-like form of annotation. What you cannot hear in the podcast is when in our zoom room, Nate flipped his background to an image of the signers of the Declaration of Independence with the addition of the popular seated image of Bernie Sanders, arms folded, wearing his blue mask. What makes memes work is that the context is understood, that people are in it together. Remi even makes a case (also in the Annotation book) that meme images, the addition of text to an image shared in social media, as a form of annotation. He has been increasingly thinking about public space, public imagery, and monuments acting as texts that are annotated.

We started with Remi talking about his message of “you are an annotator” sharing a wide range of examples of things we do or see in our everyday lives that might be considered annotation and even makes a case that we see it as marks on public monuments. In the OEG Voices recording studio where half the audience has Remi’s book in their hands including, clockwise from top left, Nate Angell, Alan Levine, Paul Stacey, and Remi Kalir. This conversation included Nate Angell, Director of Marketing at Hypothes.is as well as Paul Stacey and Alan Levine from OE Global. In this episode of OEG Voices we talked with Remi about the value of annotation, how it is something we do as an every day practice, and brainstormed what it could offer us in this effort to annotate this high level UNESCO document. That is why we were excited to have a conversation with one of the leading scholars of annotation, Remi Kalir.Īn assistant professor of Education at University of Colorado Denver, Remi was a Scholar in Residence at Hypothesis, leader of the Marginal Syllabus project, and co-author with Antero Garcia of maybe The book on the topic titled Annotation published by MIT Press in 2021. Web annotation is on our minds at OE Global with our initiative to use this technology to add examples, commentary, and specificity to the UNESCO Recommendation on OER.
