The Medium is the Message

Mein Referatsthema: Hier geht es um die Idee von Marshall McLuhan, daß die Botschaft eines Mediums weniger in seiner inhaltlichen Ausstrahlung, sondern vielmehr in seinem Wesen selbst besteht. Wie der Nutzer durch das Medium verändert wird hängt also vielmehr vom Medium selbst, als von dessen Inhalt ab. Ich habe hier erstmal einen Wikipedia-Link eingestellt und höre gerne Eure Meinung zu dem Thema.

Pecha Kucha

es heisst Pecha  Kucha und ich bin ganz gespannt auf die erste Referat in diesem format am 13.12 

29-11-07

the topic today - introduced by the method of self-observation in the group - was the motivation to communicate. we explored the question of why humans communicate, briefly touching on evolutionary aspects, and discussing in some depth different motivations to communicate - for example to transfer information, to achieve a psychological equilibrium, humour..

one thing is still unclear though, and that is how we can apply motivational classification to the different types of Internet platforms (see the entry for 15-11-07, or see the Wikipedia article on Web 2.0). everyone is invited to contribute their thoughts on this, so that we can begin to understand the "why" behind media development, and look at coevolution from a direct human standpoint.

today we spent the lecture looking at what exactly media is. there were some creative ideas, but we agreed that a medium is a channel for transferring information, either directly or offset in either space and/or time.
we then put together a list of common internet platforms and made a first pass at classifying them based on whether they are offset in time
  1. blogs
  2. mashups
  3. second life / virtual universes
  4. wikis
  5. chat
  6. ip telephone
  7. flickr
  8. online games
  9. auctions
  10. mail
  11. file sharing
  12. commerce portals
  13. tag clouds
  14. sharing
  15. video sharing
  16. podcasts
  17. bookmarking sharing
  18. location based / geodata based
  19. forums

booklist

here is the full booklist, i.e. all possible books which might be relevant to the course. specific excercises and topics will be based on this list and/or direct links from the internet

rhizom versus tree

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizom_%28Philosophie%29

this is, in my eyes, an important issue or concept that has had impact on different scientific disciplines since it was introduced in the seventies, but somehow dropped out of approaches of the social sciences that are now seen as relevant (except for literature, arts and still some media-theories perhaps).
In the first lesson we were talking about hypertext and different levels (plateaus?) of communication that reminded me a lot of the idea of a rhizomatic - potentially growing into different directions, with an infinite number of possible interconnections - concept replacing the hierarchical classic model of a tree of knowledge which is supposed to trace everything down to one single point.
A rhizomatic structure might apply to a whole set of different fields of interest. For example the internet itself or certain areas within; social and/or scientific interaction; brain structures. Especially concerning the latter of course, questions about the self can be dicussed better in respect of the problems that occur when we try to talk about wo/man as the basic category of the social. Labels like "individual", "subject" etc. have been deconstructed but scarcely replaced by more adequate "objects". Identity as a (formerly) major issue of anthropological research and discourse transports a bunch of misconceptions that point to the one impclication of the self: that the contesting aspects of will, desire, ratio etc. are organised and thus subordinated under a somehow coherent single me or I.
This is of course rather a needfull construction of juridical need to attach guilt and responsability to than an adequate object of scientific interest.

Second and last emphasis shall be put on the question of what has been called "the social" for so long. Media interaction as a social praxis of people who have access to let's say computers/internet is in a lot of ways rhizomatic. It is a wild occupancy of the means of communications that drives forces of order crazy. Eventhough enormous efforts are put into economical, administrational and governmental projects of control.
To make it short: the obviously political range of thought connected to this concept "rhizom" might be one reason for the rare appearance in works of social research and theory. But I cannot doubt the attractivity of such an approach in order to understand and desribe accurately what is going on in the field of media.
