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, [...]
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 [...]
I have found the theme of transliteracies really interesting, even if I am not completely sure what the term means, yet. As you can see from this week’s posts, I’ve been looking on YouTube for videos which explain the concept, but they all seem to be saying different things. Maybe this is just because there [...] http://www.flickr.com/photos/39473327@N05/sets/72157622488219487/
I wanted to look at the things we ‘read’ and yet which don’t contain writing. I tried to organise this around a lifecycle. The digital artefact is made up of a series of pictures which tell a story of life, from beginning to end. It presents some of the ‘signs of life’ that we may encounter.
Attempting [...] This week has taken me into the orality vs literacy debate – the debate that posits that literacy enables higher levels of thought than orality. This brings me to this, the video you may have just watched. If you go to 1.58 mins in, you’ll get to a great quote describing the the character Medb ‘a corrupted and corrupting [...]
Transliteracy: I think I am now getting to grips with the lifestream and some of its ethos. If my DIY definition of transliteracy is valid, then it means not only being able to manipulate digital media – to create and communicate using it, but it also means being able to see how we are affected by the use [...] Kress (2005) refers to speech/writing as having a ‘finite stock of words – vague, general, nearly empty of meaning’. However, for image/depiction he states that ’there is an infinitely large potential of depictions – precise, specific and full of meaning’. I am not sure that I agree with Kress here. Reading over the history of the Mona [...] I’ve been trying to work out just what is meant by transliteracy (Thomas, et al, 2007). I have currently honed it down to: an awareness of how interacting with different artefacts from different media will affect a variety of aspects of life. The reason I chose this picture is because, for me, it joins the discourses of [...] |
