Technologies Where to start? I’ve just spent the last 40 minutes or so editing the lifestream and have been amazed at the amount of stuff that got lumped in there. There was stuff in there that I’d forgotten I’d added, which brings up perhaps my first point; that although the lifestream may be a viable way [...] References: French, C. C., & Wilson, K. (2007) Cognitive factors underlying paranormal beliefs and experiences. In S. Della Sala (ed.). Tall Tales About the Mind and Brain: Separating Fact From Fiction. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Chapter 1, pp. 3-22. Moving on to start thinking about my final assignment, I still find myself mired down in conspiracy [...] Week 10 saw me finally get the guts up to try to blog about Haraway, but also to spend a little bit more time looking at what Hayles had been saying – and my lifestream has been a little more reflectve of this. I was specifically struck by this talk, which I spent a fair [...] I started week 9 reasonably well (adding more Haraway related videos from Youtube) but found myself petering out again as I struggled to come to terms with the Cyborg Manifesto. Perhaps, feeling like I was lost in words, I found myself turning back to the visual and rummaging around in visual representations of the cyborg. [...] Week 8 has seen me recovering from the virtual ethnography of last week – and mopping up the mess. My lifestream has reflected this, which a continuing stream of 9/11 conspiracy theory related links and videos. I didn’t have time to embed all of the resources into the prezi that I used for the ethnography, [...] This week was taken up with recovering from my ethnographic experience and viewing those of others. Thus my lifestream got a bit neglected. Pity the hard work of ploughing through Haraway doesn’t show up on it. I have to admit reading this text, ironically, made me regret for the first time not having face to [...] Week 7 has seen me delving further into the field site that I started defining last week – the 9/11 conspiracy theories. In watching these I have been attempting to do two primary things: 1. Indentify the ‘digital winks’ that I mentioned before Again, my apologies for the late posting of this. Week 6 has seen me ploughing into my chosen subject matter for a virtual ethnography – the 9/11 conspiracy theories. As previously stated, my objective here is not to determine whether the 9/11 conspiracy theories are ‘true’ or not, but rather to determine how members of that [...] I feel like I am getting a little behind (this always seems to happen in the middle of a course) I get distracted by stuff. Stuff in this case being two rather different things. Firstly (and this is the good news) my chosen focus for my digital ethnography – role-playing, which means of course I have [...] This week has seen me collating links, videos, blog pages, conversations and a plethora of ideas for my notional ‘Map of the Internet’. As previously discussed, this map will include three notional towns ‘Cyburbia’, Cyberia, and ‘Deadwood’ – the latter a lawless, wild-west like area where we find communities like 4chan, Anonymous and an army [...] |
