Musings of a College Kid: Avatars. Video Games. All that Jazz.
http://hdalton9.blogspot.com/2010/06/lets-talk-about-video-games-and-call-it.html
Friday, June 11, 2010. Avatars. Video Games. All that Jazz. This afternoon my professor Gideon Burton suggested that I take a look at a book called My Avatar, My Self: Identity in Video Role-Playing Games. By Zach Waggoner. I took a look at Chapter 2. Today, which is all about identity theory in new media. Now Back to My Thesis. That's what I've been arguing! This is like Born Digital. A text I've used before. How do Video Games Relate? Back to My Thesis.Again. But, these multiple identities lead to the ...

Literally a Literature Blog, Figuratively Speaking: Emily Dickinson Conference
http://literallyfigurativeliterature.blogspot.com/2010/06/emily-dickinson-conference.html
Literally a Literature Blog, Figuratively Speaking. Thursday, June 10, 2010. Anyway, the topic for the conference is "’were I Britain born’: Dickinson’s Transatlantic Connections.” Since it is held by the EDIS it makes sense that it is about Emily Dickinson's poetry in an international sense. British Connections I: Dickinson, Shakespeare, and Milton. British Connections II: Keats. British Connections III: Dickinson and the Brontës. Global Connections I: Dickinson in and out of Japan, Russia, and France.

Neal's New Media Blog: Blogging and Interactivity
http://nealcall.blogspot.com/2010/06/blogging-and-interactivity.html
Neal's New Media Blog. Thursday, June 17, 2010. I was excited to get started on working with New Media. Having said that, I believe that working with new technology affords new ways of making intellectual links. Ways of thinking that would simply not be available in a more traditional context. For instance, in one blog post. As I think about it now, the ability to embed video in a blog post allows it some serious advantages to a text book. Still, there are some drawbacks.

Neal's New Media Blog: Tom Gunning: Setting me straight
http://nealcall.blogspot.com/2010/06/tom-gunning-setting-me-straight.html
Neal's New Media Blog. Saturday, June 5, 2010. Tom Gunning: Setting me straight. My "Writing About Literature" professor, Dr. Burton, asked that we extend our research process beyond our own isolated bubble, so that we could better take part in a larger conversation about our research topics, and learn to make connections that will allow us to grow through collaboration. So, I decided to send an e-mail to the superstar of silent film scholarship, Tom Gunning. My specific interest is in landscape and film...

Neal's New Media Blog: Let Me Explain...No, Let Me Sum Up Heather's Blog
http://nealcall.blogspot.com/2010/06/let-me-explainno-let-me-sum-up-heathers.html
Neal's New Media Blog. Thursday, June 17, 2010. Let Me Explain.No, Let Me Sum Up Heather's Blog. One of the things that I appreciate most about my classmate Heather's blog for this term's "Writing About Literature" assignment is how thorough and well structured she has been. Her last wrap-up blog post, The End As The Beginning. That post had 5 subheadings, each giving a good teaser of what the argument beneath it would include. Heather began including vibrant, engaging photos. In that same post, Heat...

New Experimentation: The Man in the Mirror
http://newexperimentation.blogspot.com/2010/06/man-in-mirror.html
Thursday, June 17, 2010. The Man in the Mirror. I've had a chance to review exactly what this blog has become, and how its unique writing format has allowed certain liberties in my research of China's digital totalitarianism and George Orwell's 1984. As well as researching in the public eye, by "finished" product is there as well. Not rotting on my hard drive or on my desk somewhere. It is public for anyone with interest, and there is my contribution. August 18, 2010 at 1:34 PM. Allison, I thought about ...

New Experimentation: Physically Returning to Orwell, Digitally
http://newexperimentation.blogspot.com/2010/06/physically-returning-to-orwell.html
Wednesday, June 9, 2010. Physically Returning to Orwell, Digitally. Following the suggestions of my professor Dr. Burton, I am returning to the basis of my research in China: George Orwell's text. This return, however, is not the traditional sense of grabbing my personal addition and again scour the pages for appropriate quotes and references. Instead, this. The the text as Orwell worked it: his manuscripts. This version is more formalized than the previous manuscript, or was, I suppose, before Orwell pa...

New Experimentation: The Past. The Future?
http://newexperimentation.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-was-reading-comments-from-my-previous.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. The Past. The Future? I was reading the comments from my previous post regarding China's 10-month Internet ban when I came across an interesting question by James. He asked how the Chinese government could maintain such control over the people when their actions seem to only mistreat and abuse. I decided to go back a bit in history, and came across An Illustrated History of the Communist Party of China. With the seemingly unlimited resources of new technology? Does this mean, then, ...

New Experimentation: Censorship's Declining IQ
http://newexperimentation.blogspot.com/2010/06/censorships-declining-iq.html
Monday, June 7, 2010. China's censorship is the creator of many problems, it seems. There is the fabrication of news and history, the infusion of pro-Communism propaganda, the unapologetic suppression of individual thought, and, least we forget, the blatant disregard for human rights. All these issues aside, however, it seems censorship is finally creating a problem the government is truly scared of: a mass exodus of brain power. Remarks on the low percentage of returning graduates: "With new freedom at ...
