In an article I will be submitting shortly I am looking at the use of profiles as self reflexive tools and asking why this form of use didn't appear to be something the MySpace users I talked to were interested in. I speculate that one possible reason why scholars studying personal home pages and weblogs over the years seem to find quite a bit of self-reflexive activity is because early adopters tend to be more educated and have a higher SES and that self reflexivity is itself something that those with higher education and SES (academics included) are both more comfortable doing and more inclined to do. I was wondering if there was any study or literature that might back the link up between self reflexivity and SES or education (or for that matter challenge it). It seems like something Bourdieu might have alluded to but I don't recall reading anything by him that bears on the subject. --- David Brake, Doctoral Student in Media and Communications, London School of Economics & Political Science <http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/study/ mPhilPhDMediaAndCommunications.htm> Also see http://davidbrake.org/ (home page), http://blog.org/ (personal weblog) and http://get.to/lseblog (academic groupblog) Author of Dealing With E-Mail - <http://davidbrake.org/ dealingwithemail/> callto://DavidBrake (Skype.com's Instant Messenger and net phone) Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/secretariat/legal/disclaimer.htm
