Summary Week 12
Boundaries. The lifestream makes you think about boundaries between: My text and the texts that I have fed into my lifestream
All of these boundaries seem to be breached in the lifestream. If [...] Summary Week 11
I have been concentrating on the essay and on editing the lifestream and these have taken me away from posting on the lifestream itself. The course has drawn to a close, in a way. There is no more reading. There are no more weekly introductions. As a result, it is difficult to know [...] Producer and Process
This is a little belated, but nonetheless sincere. The last week of the reading was focused on cyborg pedagogy (Angus, Cook, Evans et al, 2001; McWilliam and Palmer, 1995). Cyborg pedagogy with its three cornerstones of border pedagogy, cyborg ontology and situated knowledge takes us further down the line, across the continuum, of [...] Week 9 – flaneurs and cyborgs – cyborgs and flaneurs – both transgressors; both providing us with new ways to view the world and to be viewed in it. Both providing new worlds, maybe. I have recently had some comments on my posts- all of which were unashamedly requested. It was nice to get someone in [...] Cyborg?
I have just read the text by Shields (2006). The content about cyborgs was interesting. He seems to questioning the human representation of the cyborg, preferring “a virus, a ‘mote’ or ‘crumb’”. The mote and the crumb do not make sense to me, but I am quite taken with re-forming the cyborg as a [...]
This week has been about cyborgs. There have been cyborgs everywhere. Once I was able to cut through the visual imagery of the Terminator and Bladerunner, I found it much easier to think ‘cyborg’. Haraway (2000) and Hayles (1999, 2006) seem both to be saying that the cyborg can be used to think in new ways. [...] Does reliance on assistive software make us a cyborg? Is the use of distributed cognition, via this reliance, an example of ‘cyborgness’? If this is the case then if when school children or students are allowed to take calculators into exams, and rely on this technology in order to answer the questions (that is, they [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Looking over the feeds, I seem to have been trying to blog/share items that I have picked up from the radio. There is definitely a theme arising here - blame it on Bladerunner – human/digital technological interaction/fusion/evolution. I’m not sure how to label this, but I think it is visible from the … (I don’t have the vocabulary for [...] |
