I did not know how to encapsulate all I wanted to say about the lifestream in the final post of 500 words. So I thought I would write some: Tips for Lifestreamers 1, Be aware of how your audiences can affect you. This is a public blog, so you are not only writing for an academic community, [...] This is my virtual ethnography. I have focused on a Flickr photosharing group called ‘Japan Top 20′. This is an edited version of the first ethnography I posted. However, I have kept Jen and Sian’s comments in. http://digitalculture-ed.net/saraht/2009/11/11/virtual-ethnography/
This week I have been focused on producing the virtual ethnography. The aim of the ethnography was to determine how far a group of people who regularly meet online can be seen to be an ‘online community’. However more processes than that product have unfolded. First of all, I am surprised at how ‘sucked in’, or [...]
I just found this interview with Tom Boellstorff, the author of ‘Coming of Age in Second Life’. One part of the interview stood out to me as I am struggling to come to terms with the virtual ethnography project. I am finding the ethnography a very partial piece of research as I am not including any of the participants’ [...]
This week has been taken up with working on the virtual ethnography. It has kept me away from the lifestream, to a certain extent. Reading Hine (2000), along with Jen’s feedback, has helped me understand a little more clearly why I am writing these weekly reflections. I was not sure why I had to write the [...] I found this video – Visual Ethnography. It is a brief overview of using film as a way to construct and present ethnographies. About 3.30 minutes in, there is a film of an interview with a documentary maker, Jean Rouch, talking about how he decided to avoid using music in his films. This has made [...]
This links into the idea of the consumer becoming the consumer, but outside the digital environment. It seems everyone is at it! swfobject.embedSWF(”http://www.youtube.com/v/3MssPLD_yfo&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0″, “vvq-141-youtube-1″, “425″, “344″, “9″, vvqexpressinstall, vvqflashvars, vvqparams, vvqattributes); I like what Carpenter has to say about the lines between the producer and the consumer of digital artefacts becoming blurred. However, the producer does still have the upper hand, at least in some cases.

I’m not really sure what to say about Week 2. The films festival was good. I liked the clips on under the topic of ’Being Human’. The Blade Runner clip, Tears in the Rain, such an iconic scene, for my generation at least, was a good choice. Roy, the android, talking about how all his [...] |
