DIGITAL STORYTELLING COLLABORATION AND PARTICIPATORY APPROACHES TO DATA COLLECTION.

UNDERSTANDING MEDIA • “This is the Age of Anxiety for the reason of the electric implosion that compels commitment and participation, quite regardless of any ‘point of view’. The partial and specialized character of the viewpoint, however noble, will not serve at all in the electric age. At the information level the same upset has occurred with the substitution of the inclusive image for the mere viewpoint. If the nineteenth century was the age of the editorial chair, ours if the century of the psychiatrists’ couch. ” • (Marshall Mc. Luhan)

• “Many people would be disposed to say that it was not the machine, but what one did with the machine, that was its meaning or message. In terms of the ways in which the machine altered our relations to one another and to ourselves, it mattered not in the least whether it turned out cornflakes or Cadillacs. The restructuring of human work and association was shaped by the technique of fragmentation that is the essence of machine technology. The essence of automation technology is the opposite. It is integral and decentralist in depth, just as the machine was fragmentary, centralist, and superficial in its patterning of human relationships. “

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

THEORETICAL PRELIMINARIES • FACEBOOK Tales from Facebook Paperback – 26 Apr 2011 - Author, Daniel Miller • VISUALISING FACEBOOK: Visualising Facebook: A Comparative Perspective Paperback – 7 Mar 2017 Authors- Daniel Miller, Jolynna Sinanan • “The book aims to highlight the importance of visual images today in patrolling and controlling the moral values of populations, and explores the changing role of photography from that of recording and representation, to that of communication, where an image not only documents an experience but also enhances it, making the moment itself more exciting. ”

DOING RESEARCH WITH SOCIAL MEDIA • This session will examine social media as an archive: a set of on-line communities that already exist, such that we might investigate to add to our understanding of historical knowledge and how humans interact (digital social research). • We will also investigate using social media as a research method to create and to communicate research data (e-research).

ON-LINE COMMUNITIES • FACEBOOK Tales from Facebook Paperback – 26 Apr 2011 - Author, Daniel Miller • VISUALISING FACEBOOK: Visualising Facebook: A Comparative Perspective Paperback – 7 Mar 2017 Authors- Daniel Miller, Jolynna Sinanan • “The book aims to highlight the importance of visual images today in patrolling and controlling the moral values of populations, and explores the changing role of photography from that of recording and representation, to that of communication, where an image not only documents an experience but also enhances it, making the moment itself more exciting. ” •
