SUMMARY:Elisha Lim presents to the DDI
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Elisha Lim\, is a Provost Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice\, where they are working on a book that connects social media algorithms to piety and pious conduct. Lim is also an award-winning claymation filmmaker and graphic novelist\, and their community-based art practice has been extensively documented by longitudinal scholarly studies and Duke University Press monographs. \nThe Original Platform: The East India Company \nElisha Lim will explain how The East India Company (EIC) is the predecessor to modern digital platforms (like Alphabet\, Amazon\, Meta\, Apple\, Microsoft\, Baidu\, Alibaba\, and Tencent). Lim will focus on the case study of the Company’s operations in their hometown of Singapore\, in order to combine Platform Studies with Southeast Asian history and colonial scholarship. Lim will adopt four elements of a platform in order to outline how the East India Company is the blueprint of modern platforms: 1) Platform: EIC’s treaties and charters; 2) Complementors: European shipping companies\, plantation owners etc.; 3) Application programming interfaces: roads\, monetary systems\, etc.\, and 4) Software development kits: the spread of racist views and tactics through media\, literature\, philosophy and culture. This talk will underscore the indispensability of colonial frameworks to Platform Studies.  \nEmail ddi_comms@sfu.ca for details and Zoom link.
