Digital Cultures
I think that you post gets to one of the things that I keep reminding myself of as my research into digital culture continues and that is that there are digital cultures, not culture. For instance, in western cultures we see a diminished use of Facebook b ... -
I found this work to be so
I found this work to be so interesting. I really like the narrative analysis in conjunction with digital media and place. I am particularly interested in what the both of you mention as far as "desiring things like cities." I am not as familiar ... -
You bring up a lot of great

Jordan, as you have been in
