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 ...

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...

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 ...

New Experimentation: An Endless Battle?
http://newexperimentation.blogspot.com/2010/05/endless-battle.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. I was able to research in greater depth the question of technological authority. Again, I'm researching the issues specifically in China, but on a basic level looking at the Internet as a weapon for rebellion or another warhead for government power. After a 10-Month Ban, Western China is Back Online. May 21, 2010 at 8:38 AM. Are Chinese citizens who use the internet to rebel all very individually dedicated to the cause, or are they simply conforming to a rebellion movement? It may b...

New Experimentation: A Response from the Expert and Thoughts on the Telescreen
http://newexperimentation.blogspot.com/2010/06/continuing-with-my-study-of-use-of-new.html
Thursday, June 10, 2010. A Response from the Expert and Thoughts on the Telescreen. I sent an e-mail to John Tkacik Jr. whose article " China's Orwellian Internet. Has already been influential to my research. This afternoon, he was kind enough to respond:. You may also be interested in “Trojan Dragon” which Heritage published in early 2008. . . I was very grateful for the time he took to respond, and more so for the suggestions he offered. I spent a little time looking into IPv6. Returning again to China...

New Experimentation: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
http://newexperimentation.blogspot.com/2010/06/ignorance-is-strength.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past. George Orwell, 1984. Slogan of the Party. I have been researching the Chinese government's use of technology. In earlier posts, specifically China's Personal Ministry of Truth. I have examined the government's Internet censorship protocol as well as other restrictions placed to limit the freedoms of the digital world. I have repeatedly turned to the Orwell's novel. China is no novice in the art o...
