Help in syllabus about New Media and Collective Intelligence
Dear everyone, I'm preparing a course for college students on New Media, I love Manovich's Language on New Media and I'm planning to review those principles in class, but I am searching for an updated take on them, does anyone have any suggestion? I'm also working on the subject of Collective Intelligence through several lenses, so if you know any recent/essential work on the subject, I would love to hear your suggestions! Thanks!!!

I would suggest recent work on Facebook, which clearly and dramatically shows what not to do to generate collective intelligence. The generation of collective stupidity seems to offer much more robust results. Once specific study showed that attacks on minorities in German towns was directly correlated with Facebook utilization. This should provide plenty of insider insights: https://www.amazon.com/Zucked-Waking-Up-Facebook-Catastrophe-ebook/dp/B07FC5... <https://www.amazon.com/Zucked-Waking-Up-Facebook-Catastrophe-ebook/dp/B07FC5BZYV/ref=sr_1_1> dss PS: Along the original line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu-RyZt_Uas PPS: https://cosmism.blogspot.com/2015/11/stodolskys-law-of-organizational.html <https://cosmism.blogspot.com/2015/11/stodolskys-law-of-organizational.html> David Stodolsky, PhD Institute for Social Informatics Tornskadestien 2, st. th., DK-2400 Copenhagen NV, Denmark dss@socialinformatics.org Tel./Viber: +45 3095 4070
I've found it helpful to pair Manovich with Tara McPherson's "Why are the Digital Humanities So White or Thinking the History of Race and Computation <https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/read/untitled-88c11800-9446-469b-a3be-3fdb36bfbd1e/section/20df8acd-9ab9-4f35-8a5d-e91aa5f4a0ea>" to get students thinking about both formal and social properties of tech (and how these things intertwine) from the get go. As far as collective intelligence goes, this probably isn't as new as you're looking for, but I use Jenkins' Convergence Culture to explain the difference between collective intelligence and the wisdom of the crowd.
