Lane DeNicola commented on Dan O'Maley's group Digital Anthropology"Hi Ellen,
A couple refs I might add on the topics of virtual worlds and/or hacking:
Bardzell, S. and J. Bardzell (2006) "Sex-Interface-Aesthetics: The Docile Avatars and Embodied Pixels of Second Life BDSM"Proceedings of the CHI 2006…"
Lane DeNicola replied to Keith Hart's discussion Online Seminar 1-12 November: Daniel Miller An Extreme Reading of Facebook"A brief aside (or "hit-and-run" comment?) on this point about infrastructure: there may be some analytic traction to be gained (specifically on the issue of Facebook's parallels with Kula) from comparative analysis of Facebook with…"
Lane DeNicola replied to Justin Shaffner's discussion Technologies of research in the group Digital Anthropology"Certainly! Looks like a solid organizational schema, and having such a list would be a necessary step anyway in some of my own work. How likely is it you'd be migrating to a new host in the near-term?"
Lane DeNicola replied to Justin Shaffner's discussion Technologies of research in the group Digital Anthropology"This may be a bit of a tangent, but a long-standing and related question for me has been what different groups of people consider "text."

Lane DeNicola replied to Justin Shaffner's discussion Technologies of research in the group Digital Anthropology"Neat thread of conversation Justin! One of my own interests in this vein is the overwhelming dominance of commercial, proprietary technologies in ethnographic and social research settings. While in many scenarios those kind of "solutions"…"
Lane DeNicola replied to Keith Hart's discussion Teaching Digital Anthropology in the group Digital Anthropology"Hi Keith (and others),
Very happy to see a thread opening on the pedagogical questions (and to be mentioned as part of it)--as you can imagine, they're pushing nearly every other concern down into the noise right now for me personally! Keeping…"
"I was stimulated by your entry to acknowledge that the Digital Anthropology group was languishing because its owner was mostly absent. So I decided to launch a discussion of teaching with reference to your UCL MA. I hope you don't find this…"
Lane DeNicola left a comment for Keith Hart"Thanks Keith--the new programme seems an overwhelming maelstrom at the moment, but we certainly pulled in a great, diverse inaugural class, and despite the bureaucratic tribulations of the early term we couldn't have asked for a more…"
