    As digital continues to influence behavioural change across all demographics and cultures, new tools and techniques are starting to allow greater access and insight into people's behaviours globally.
  • Staci Tucker on 23 Jun 12
     
    "As a planner I continually encourage the brands I work with to understand their audience behaviours and then create experiences and utilities that fit within this existing routine, rather than try and change behaviours, so when exploring research opportunities we should be doing the same thing - whether that involves simply listening, using mobile devices, creating videos / blogs / diaries / collages, gaming … or any combination of these." Little disappointed Lucas-Garner didn't reference privacy issues in her discussion of methodology in industrial research.

T L Taylor talks about "Ethnography as Play" - 2 views

    This is a video of one of Taylor's discussions on her research regarding the computer game Everquest. I thought this might be useful to anybody who found our discussion on "lurkers", ethics, and the gaming world interesting. TL Taylor is a world-renowned video game researcher, who spends a majority of her investigations viewing the interactions within a digital world. She researches topics like: how players choose to represent themselves in contrast to their physical appearance in reality, and even going so far as to see how and why relationships occur in a video game setting that are strong enough to get players to marry each other without ever meeting in person.

    Editor's Note: While digital ethnography is an established field within ethnography, we don't often hear of ethnographers building digital tools to conduct their fieldwork. Wendy Hsu wants to change that. In the first of her three-part guest post series, she shows how ethnographers can use software, and even build their own software, to explore online communities. By drawing on examples from her own research on independent rock musicians, she shares with us how she moved from being an ethnographer of purely physical domains to an ethnographer who built software programs to gather more relevant qualitative data.

      An ethnographic flavor emerges here...esp. the "facets of life" element.
  • Ga is one of a number of younger contemporary artists whose work is tied to a kind of artistic fieldwork, investigating aspects of their lives and interests by merging the apparent objectivity of documentary forms and anthropological research with a plainly subjective, flexible approach, drawing on multiple methodologies and discourses.

  • For a younger generation of artists, for whom the use of technology is natural and the Internet an inextricable part of information gathering, the ability to adopt these various strategies and roles is greatly enhanced by the accessibility of information: in an Internet age, the barriers to research begin to collapse.

    I'd suggest we take a closer look at this article toward the end of the term (specifically week 9), as we consider the multiple opportunities for "publishing" in the digital era; blogs have begun to end up as research tools in a number of ways, and this article will push us toward larger debates about academic communication/publishing that are raging all around...

    Blogging affords a saoln-like place of exploration - sure. I was underwhelmed by this piece - but the context is probably helpful. The piece is a review. In that it is treating blogging seriously by performing a review in a respectable journal, I appreciate it. However, I want to poke at the edge what tools are acceptable - blogs seem respectable here. That's great, and very professional. But when I want a tool that will help me think through something, I'd rather use something that is less polished. Also a way to engage non-anthropologists - but are academic blogs engaging? Some are - I'm interested in how to create a non-boring academic blog. The end of the review gets at this problem - the author hopes the official AAA blog will use the format to spark debate and create interesting writing; but the status of it as an official blog makes that difficult. The front page is here http://blog.aaanet.org/ I would be interested in what folks think of it in light of this piece.

    It is interesting how this article brings in the important aspect of collaboration and peer reviews, when analyzing and ethnographic work. The participation of readers and contributors in these blogs range from professional anthropologist to just interested readers, which causes an unbalance on what traditionally has been a seen as peer review work. The multi-directional and multilevel dialogue on these blogs create that malleability of the boundaries of the uses, effects and design of the ethnographic work. This act of participatory input from "multiple voices" makes the presentation of the ethnographic/anthropological work as another "subject" to be studied and analyze, it becomes an auto-reflection of the methodological design of the ethnographic work itself. Presenting the ethnographic work in a blogging format brings more levels of analyzing the data and the interpretation of this data.

    Here's a working academic blog, mostly on the writing process. https://lauraportwoodstacer.wordpress.com/
  • Rosalynn Rothstein on 30 May 12
     
    I appreciate the working academic blog. I might be interested in seeing two or three similar sites that are in dialogue with other another. Either people working on the same project or researchers in a similar field engaged in similar topics. This serves an obviously helpful role in garnering interested in your project.

    Explore this place! This is a searchable collection of links to tools to help researchers conceive a project, collect data, organize and analyze it (including sections on mapping and data visualization), write, and publish. It is organized into intuitive categories based on what you want to do. Within each category, you can order the results by cost, platform, etc. This would be a great place to find tools for the toolplay workshops.

    Pretty good list! Thin annotations, but the websites for the tools tell all. Some tools I use regularly in the archives and some I've heard about but not really investigated, like Omeka. From Omeka website: "Museums need systems that allow them to engage their publics and build communities around objects." I may do a toolplay on this. Outcome: Omeka offers museums, libraries, and archives easy ways to push content to their online visitors through feeds and rotating featured items and exhibits on the homepage, while also giving visitors opportunities to contribute content to a museum's digital collections, comment on items, or share museum object data with a visitor's personal social networks.

    From their description of the project "Bamboo DiRT is the tool-centric node in what its developers hope will be a growing ecosystem of specialized directories that can achieve sustainability by combining topical focus with seamless data exchange where appropriate." I could see how this resource would be helpful if you were thinking about how far you needed to go with the data you have collected.

    This tool seems pretty simple. It is a audio voice recorder that lets you annotate an event. But apparently, you can use it on your smartphone and it time stamps the recording. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/rehearsalassist/wiki

    I haven't been able to find a free online copy of this yet. It looks very helpful. Has anyone else been able to secure one? The title reminds me of Patrica Lange's piece on YouTube and "publicly private" and "privately pubic" online spaces. Her application of the idea of "fractalized communities" has been very useful to my research on out-of-the-way online communities. Check that one out at http://uolibraries.worldcat.org/title/publicly-private-and-privately-public-social-networking-on-youtube/oclc/726935972&referer=brief_results
