All Things Critiqued: August 2009
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Saussure: the internet's impact on literacy. Have you heard that the internet is making us stupid? That kids today read and write less than they used to and things like facebook are permanently ruining our society? If we think about it, spoken language came before written. Writing was the afterthought. Letters as we know them now are very abstract. Originally though, there was some attempt to make them representative. The increase in resources also has an affect on how linguists ...

All Things Critiqued: Thacker & Galloway
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009/11/thacker-galloway.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. This week’s reading, The Exploit by Galloway and Thacker, was definitely an interesting juxtaposition to last week’s 6 Degrees by Watts. Watts talked about networks using scientific method and computation, showing the ability of networks to spread and multiply. Between the two writings, there’s a common theme that networks are powerful. Whether its a file sharing. By viruses like the PCs are. November 24, 2009 at 3:42 PM. November 24, 2009 at 5:21 PM. The fact that all things ...

All Things Critiqued: Networked Publics, Profiles, and Facebook
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009/11/networked-publics-profiles-and-facebook.html
Monday, November 9, 2009. Networked Publics, Profiles, and Facebook. In her dissertation (oh my, is 400 pages what I have to look forward to? I reference Facebook because that is what most people I know use, as opposed to Myspace which I do not use because I know very few people who do. Membership on sites is largely based on the real world, which Boyd did address in her paper, and she also pointed out that profile information is largely based in the physical space also. So Facebook. Good point on Politi...

All Things Critiqued: Foucault & Nakamura: Who’s got power?
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009/11/foucault-nakamura-whos-got-power.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Foucault and Nakamura: Who’s got power? From what I know about Foucault, for him, everything is about power. Speaking truth to power, who has power, who wants power, etc. He sees power as the core to all relationships. And knowledge and truth exist because of power. Having knowledge is a power over those who do not. Which leads to the divide between the haves and the have-nots. November 3, 2009 at 1:16 AM. Its interesting as we see it the internet is this great leveler. As ...

All Things Critiqued: Shirky and Group Formation
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009/10/shirky-and-group-formation.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. Shirky and Group Formation. Over the weekend I went and saw the movie Amelia. There’s no guesswork here! Alas historical movies continually get made, and it seems that filmmakers like to take the approach that people don’t know their history, so they spell it out, which just makes me feel a little insulted. Now coincidentally, tonight on the news, there was a short story pointing out the box office success of the film Paranormal Activity. Had a high-profile award winning cast an...

All Things Critiqued: From Habermas’ “Public Sphere” to DeLuca & Peeple’s “Public Screen”
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009/10/from-habermas-public-sphere-to-deluca.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. From Habermas’ “Public Sphere” to DeLuca and Peeple’s “Public Screen”. The broadcast medias [newspapers, news stations] are purely a medium of “manufacturing consent.” They exhibit the news in the interests of their monetary-backbone, the corporations who own them. In our society, the majority of media is controlled by a few companies, and their interests correlate with the products of their medias. Where the spectators were also producers. October 20, 2009 at 1:41 PM. Dancing ...

All Things Critiqued: September 2009
http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. The Mystery of ‘Aura’. On the issue of aura, in some ways I disagree that mechanical reproduction removes the aura away from a piece of art. Prof. Parry shared with us the story about the print of Guernica hanging in the UN’s Security Council room in New York City. The UN version is a tapestry copy, a replication “less monochromatic” than the original, with shades of brown. Being covered up. The general killed the Viet Cong; I killed the general with my camera. He uses the tec...

http://chelsconemac.blogspot.com/2009/11/zittrains-future-of-internet-and-how-to.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Zittrain’s The Future of the Internet- And How to Stop It. Control. Management. Surveillance. The average internet user probably rarly thinks of these memes when they’re surfing their favorite webpages, tweeting, and shopping on etsy.com. Oh wait that’s what I was doing earlier and I did think of those terms.hmm). Was a really interesting read. To be a generative enterprise and a successful example of how flexibility in content creation can work. Future of the internet. The Nev...
