I did it because I wanted to start the semester in WRT205 with<br \/>\nsome talk about social connection, self-identified tags, and mediated<br \/>\nconnections all as buildup into McLuhan, Barabasi, and writing critical<br \/>\nresearch.&nbsp; I was clear with students that they didn&#8217;t have to keep<br \/>\nprofiles; turned out all but one or two of them already kept extensive listings<br \/>\nin thefacebook.&nbsp; They knew more about it than I did.&nbsp; They were<br \/>\nalready <i>doing<\/i> creative computing, in one sense, making themselves into<br \/>\ndata, encoding other (small) worlds with discriminating presences.&nbsp; It was<br \/>\nfun; and I told them, shortly after I built a profile, that even though I didn&#8217;t<br \/>\nhave any facebook friends, none of them should feel any obligation to list me.&nbsp;<br \/>\nBut two did anyway.&nbsp; In this space, I am, categorically, friends with my<br \/>\nstudents. I&#8217;ve kept it perfectly centripetal, never listing anyone else as a<br \/>\nfriend of mine, but just standing still, checking things out, welcoming pulses.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>In the past two weeks, I&#8217;ve been listed by <i>three<\/i> students from last<br \/>\nsemester&#8217;s WRT105.&nbsp; I get emails, &quot;such and such has listed you as a<br \/>\nfriend.&quot;&nbsp; When I click on the link from the email, I&#8217;m transported to a<br \/>\nsite where I can confirm the friendship, and I have in each case, although other<br \/>\noptions (reject, deny, wait a minute?) are available to me also.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve also<br \/>\njoined the &quot;I <i>Hate<\/i> WRT105&quot; group.&nbsp; It&#8217;s the only group I belong to,<br \/>\nand I really should do something about that since I teach the course and I&#8217;m<br \/>\ndoing doctoral work in the program responsible for devising the curriculum.&nbsp;<br \/>\nAnd, what&#8217;d&#8217;ya know, I happened across the profile of a familiar student or two<br \/>\nin there.&nbsp; Thought, <i>heh, what&#8217;re you doing in here?&nbsp; <\/i>Same to<br \/>\nyou.&nbsp; <i>Hate<\/i>, the acerbic cousin of <i>critical (<\/i>the mask of<i><br \/>\ndoing)<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Thought-splice: Miles and Yuille&#8217;s<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/hypertext.rmit.edu.au\/~knetlit\/archives\/cat_manifesto.html\"><br \/>\nCreative Computing manifesto<\/a> sets out to define &quot;how we use computers in<br \/>\nteaching and learning for creative industries&quot; in IT contexts.&nbsp; They offer<br \/>\na thoughtful list, but it leaves me feeling ambivalent about the think treatment<br \/>\nof some of the grander concepts included. Perhaps that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s designed to<br \/>\nwork; its gross under-development invokes a busy array of associations.&nbsp;<br \/>\nSeems more like a move to stimulate rather than define.&nbsp; Even in its<br \/>\nsimplicity, the list teases out a few useful distinctions about <i>with-ness<\/i><br \/>\nrather than working &quot;on the network,&quot; and about &quot;learning by doing.&quot;&nbsp;<br \/>\nIndeed, &quot;these literacies are learnt by doing.&quot; Which literacies aren&#8217;t?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We could describe literacy not as a monolithic term but as a cloud of<br \/>\n  sometimes contradictory nexus points among different positions.&nbsp; Literacy<br \/>\n  can be seen as not a skill but a process of situating and resituating in<br \/>\n  social spaces (Wysocki 367). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a  href=\"http:\/\/huminf.uib.no\/~jill\/index.php?p=541\">Jill<br \/>\nWalker&#8217;s talk at Brown<\/a> and, just as much, the comments following her account<br \/>\npush me to consider the reversal of network and representation (composed, in<br \/>\nwriting or otherwise).&nbsp; I don&#8217;t know how to put this, but maybe Walker&#8217;s<br \/>\ntitle will help me find a grip.&nbsp; Rather than writing <i>in<\/i> the network,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s rather more&#8211;in my thinking&#8211;like writing the network. The network is<br \/>\nwritten, I mean.&nbsp; It materializes in language (oftentimes language that is<br \/>\nnot written, but otherly, I suppose, oral, imagistic&#8230;dunno about all of this,<br \/>\nthough).&nbsp; Cripes, I&#8217;m slogging&#8230;.&nbsp; I&#8217;m trying to say that the<br \/>\nsociality of the network is an enticement\/motivation to writing (for people<br \/>\nwho&#8217;ve never had a care for <i>Composition<\/i>, I mean). Beyond the academy,<br \/>\nlots of folks are compelled to write because of the sociality of the network,<br \/>\nand this seems like an interesting turnabout of motivation, one that ought to<br \/>\ninterest teachers of writing.<\/p>\n<p>Cross-posted to<br \/>\n<a  href=\"http:\/\/wrt-brooke.syr.edu\/net\/archives\/2005\/02\/tweening.html\"><br \/>\n711<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, I thought I&#8217;d have time for three blog entries.&nbsp; I told myself that today would be the day I posted thrice.&nbsp; Hmph.&nbsp; Never written thrice before.&nbsp; I&#8217;m having a bit of &quot;dogfish in the dissection pan&quot; with hyper-consciousness about post-literacy, studying the network, tweening the EWM-style blogging I know and love with more&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[168],"tags":[333,256,310,257,332],"class_list":["post-6235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-on_weblogs","tag-barabasi","tag-electracy","tag-facebook","tag-networks","tag-tweening"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
