Hi all -- Can anyone recommend a good article about FAQs as means of articulating and enforcing online community norms? Thanks Nancy
Hi Nancy, I've just finished writing a PhD thesis, "Kissing Bandits to cybersex: online sexual discourses and social norms" on the social norms in online communities surrounding sexual discourse. In my analysis, even though sexual discourse was banned in the FAQ and community rules, it is a pervasive and persistent conversation topic that involves a great deal of social norms that are not tied to the explicit rules in the FAQ and rules section. The norms surrounding the conversations (e.g., what is said, where, to whom and how) are based both in offline sexual norms, particularly heteronormativity, and group norms.

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good article about the relationship between globalization and social technology (social networks) for undergraduate students. Although there are many articles, it is not easy to find a paper analyzing the role of social technology in contemporary globalization, either positive or negative. I will also appreciate when anyone recommends a paper documenting a clear relationship between globalization and new media. Thanks in advance, Jin Simon Fraser University
Hello Jin, I know of a good book that has a good chapter for the relationship between globalization and media: Appadurai "Modernity at Large: Cultural Dimensions of Globalization." In this, he identifies 5 scapes, of which the media-scape is one. Jennifer On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 2:41 PM, Dal Jin <djin@sfu.ca> wrote:

There was a computer self help book on FAQ's in the 1990's but certainly not academic. What gives a computer programmer the right to interpret moral viewpoints? On 16-Apr-09, at 12:56 PM, Nancy Baym wrote:

computer programmer? Usually FAQ are a resource that provides answers to frequently asked questions. The person collecting questions and respective answers does so in collaboration with the community. The FAQ maintainer may or may not answer questions himself/herself (fake FAQ answering questions people might have or should have is a different beast) christopher
