Re: new media and shock
by Stephanie Kent 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi all - I generally just lurk, but I was struck by a discontinuity in discussion last Thursday and think it bears on this question of becoming inured to shock. There were 6 posts on "London...the internet accounts" interspersed with 4 on "AoIR 6.0 Chicago 2005 Registration is now open", 1 each on "iCS 8.2", "Call for proposals", and "Internet and fun/joy/pleasure". In the three days since, "London" vanished, some of the other threads continued, and new ones appeared. This is no doubt the nature of most conversations on this list, and perhaps everything that could be said about shock and bearing up and giving sympathy was expressed in the comments that were posted, and/or continuation has moved to other venues. But I had some cognitive dissonance reading the disparate threads as business-as-usual went on for many (including me) while others were wondering just how "usual" their lives were going to continue to be. I'm not familiar with any of the literature on shock, but some levels or layers of protection are evident in the acts of just getting on with things, whatever those immediate things that consume us may be. At the same time, I'm aware it would also be counterproductive (at least to purposes of peace and justice) to mine the event for all its tragedy, as this would play into political efforts to cast the attack in symbolic terms that fuel nationalisms and other hatreds. Shock, by definition, puts one in a state of non-responsiveness; the challenge may be the degree to which that lack of response gets carried over or continued into the return to the mundane, especially after the state-of-shock has worn off. best, steph http://www.reflexivity.us On Jul 10, 2005, at 3:07 PM, air-l-aoir.org-request(a)listserv.aoir.org wrote: > Hello all--a colleague of mine asked me if I could help him with the > following question.

network size and internet use
by Barry Wellman 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

In response to Greg Elmer's Q to the list: Yes, people with larger networks do use the internet more. We have only cross-sectional data. We don't know which way the causal arrow goes -- in fact, I suspect a positive feedback loop. larger nets > more internet use more internet use > larger nets See Jeffrey Boase, et al., "The Strength of Internet Ties" on the Pew Internet website. Jan 25 2006. See also Wellman & Hogan, et al., "Connected Lives: The Project" in Patrick Purcell's new book (Springer), _Networked Neighbourhoods)_. My website/publications has links to both of these pieces.

Hi there I am working on a course for journalism students. I was asked to give them insight on how new media can help the way they gather, create, select & publish news. I wanted to create a glossary with relevant terms on new media & journalism. I don’t know whether I am still missing things… Maybe you could give me a hand?

Re: [Air-L] Oscar Peterson, the Wikiblip
by William Bain 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

How fortunate to have known the man himself! You probably already know, Barry, that Oscar was also a favorite of Miles Davis and if memrory serves one of his sources of inspiration. I've admired Oscar's playing since undergrad days in the sixties :-| and probably understandably now more. Really great music!

In addition to playing every Oscar disk we have, s seems to becoming my custom, one aspect of this is editing Oscar's Wikipedia site. Which has seen a feeding frenzy in the past few days. I just did a count of the number of edits on the site (you can do this too by going to "Oscar Peterson" and clicking on History. All dates/times Greenwich Mean Time (which is official Wikipedia time coding) December 19 -- 2 edits before death (and no public announcement of illness). routine edit. There had been about 4 routine edits per month throughout 2007. December 23 -- 1 edit. Died that day, but not public announced. Edit has no hint of death. December 24 -- 42 edits. Death announced in the morning news. I heard it at 1200 EST. First edit of the day, by someone else was at 1722 GMT (1222 EST) containing the news of Oscar's death, altho inaccurately saying it was Dec 24. December 25 -- 40 edits. Further refinements. Quotes, Canadian content added. December 26 -- 33 edits December 27 -- 17 edits December 28 -- 10 edits So Oscar's page is settling down. RIP. I've copied Danyel Fisher on this, because when he was a student working with me at Berkeley, he had a neat little research note on "the rise and fall of Melessa" (a badly spelled early virus, when such were big news) which similarly tracked the very quick peaking and tailing off of an event. Another variation on Andy Warhol's "5 minutes of fame". While Oscar had his justifiable jazz fame since the early 1950s, his WikiFame basically lasted 3+ days in December 2007.
