with Radhika:) [seriously - that IS another Radhika - one is my Avi and the other is another Radhika's avi - I finally found her - she's the (more technologically capable one) they've all be confusing me with:)]
different realities?
producer and consumer
who’s producing who (what?)
who’s consuming who (what?)
which object stares back?
How does one talk to a daily blogger – how does one talk to a daily reporter?
At least with a reporter – there are what seem to be guidelines established through years of practice (by reporters and related administrators) and rule-making around news-making and reporting. When a reporter meets us f2f for a story or is going to be amidst us in a public venue we are aware that we will likely be “reported” on.
But what of the daily blogger – what are the warning signs for someone who is going to be written about in a blog? What are power dynamics at play – when a high ranking academic blogs vs when a graduate student blogs – what social capital permits the blogging of certain events (bloggers are hardly ever about stating multiple perspectives – they state their own and those of their friends – just as I do – not that reporters are objective necessarily either but there are other checks and balances…)
I have so many recent events happening around me and that I have been a part of that I want to report on and comment on on my blog – but hesitate because I feel that my view on some of these events will not be taken too kindly …
This is not an issue of marginalization and empowerment – it is an issue of judgement and viewership.
Specific situated audience communities interacting with Writers produce “texts” – but where the blog goes – we cant always map the route.
but I may blog the reports eventually anyway.
good conversation….
Had a very productive conversation with N about the Machinima she and her group produced – will have something to write about that with quotes from her after a few more meetings and conversations with her.
stay tuned!
