preparing digital identity syllabus
greetings, I am teaching a seminar on digital identity in the sts program at ut austin and and preparing my syllabus. I'd appreciate any input for recommended readings. as the class will also entail an historical element I am especially interested in recommendations on literature dealing with early identity/authentication in computer systems. thanks christoph -- Christoph Engemann, Dipl.

Alvin, Thanks for this link. Creation and maintenance of identity under conditions of media saturation has been a fascination of mine since I wrote an article about virtual space as rehearsal space back in 1993. I would very much like to create a separate list for people who are interested in the creation and maintenance of identity under conditions of media saturation. Im on several lists that are about this among other things but do not know of a list centrally focused on this. I would like to create one. If I am reinventing the wheel, please point me in the right direction. Michael --- Alvin Concha <alvinconcha@yahoo.com> wrote:

In so far as literature turns back on itself and examines parodies or treats ironically its own signifying procedures, it becomes the most complex account of signification we possess.

Great. I will be the second suscriber. I am a Ph.D. student in the University of Sydney and have just begun a project on Chinese Cyber Queer Identity (the Articulation of Same-sex Identity on Chinese Gay Websites). Anyone who is interested in the topic or has some suggestions? Thanks and cheers. Hongwei Bao (hbao5209@arts.usyd.edu.au) Quoting Alvin Concha <alvinconcha@yahoo.com>:

I jointly ran a one day session on digital identity at New York Law school, as background for this I wanted people to have a look at quite a range of approaches. In particular there seem to be two worlds of identity discourse that I seldom see combine. One is from Digital ID and IT security, which is not my area, but I think can be typified by the work of the likes of Kim Camron, and the piece 'The Laws of Identity: http://www.identityblog.com/?page_id=354 The second could very very broadly be typified by a social science approach and the likes of Turkle and subsequent reactions / rejections of her work. In this area, my proposed mash up as a quick intro (note we were focusing particularly on Virtual Worlds / Computer Games) was as follows: S Turkle: Who Am We In Reading Digital Culture ed D Trent always_black: Bow Nigger http://www.alwaysblack.com/blackbox/bownigger.html R Bartle: Designing Virtual World Chapter 3: Players esp. pp174 - 185 S Zizek: The Plage of Fantasies Cyberspace, or, the unbearable closure of being p133-143 D W Winnicott: Playing and Reality Ch 4 Playing - Creative activity and the search for the self pp53-64 M Consalvo, S Paasonen, Women & Everyday Uses of the Internet: Agency & Identity. Gender, Identity, and (the limits of) play on the Internet pp. 21-43 D Williams, Trouble in River City - The Social Life of Video Games, Ch5 ON the Screen on the 'Net pp74-78 Social Capital and the internet. As those that know some of the works above will see, I was trying to present more of a dis-coherent view of identity rather than something that fell comfortable into anyone's set of assumptions. Some of my own work reacts against the what I see as an overly technological driven view that frames identity very narrowly and pre- supposes that it some form of property, I think it is far to early to even think of closing off discussions about what digital identity is (not that I'm suggesting anyone here was attempting that). ren On 4 Dec 2006, at 12:34, hbao5209@arts.usyd.edu.au wrote:
