Wow! This is a damning statement. It certainly makes me rethink staying on the platform.

Sobre maldição da dimensionalidade. Agora, o que seria representações distribuídas das palavras em espaços de menor dimensão? Isso me lembra de PCA e afins.

So there is not one performance of self; there are many performances of self, playing out in tandem with others.

Only concerned with the presentation of self and not with self itself as we may define it internally. Goffman's definition of self relies upon the reception of another interactant.

Are we then more defined by what bends or breaks our barriers than the barriers themselves?

You must follow-through, it seems or else the whole charade falls through.

Self, then, lies not only in one individual; an interaction seems to be required an and impression made in order for a conception of self to exist. At least, according to Goffman.

I'm not sure I wholly agree with his statement but I do believe it is important to consider. To me, I believe different environments enhance aspects of ourselves already present. I don't believe these sites are fully responsible for our own actions. That said, I agree, in some ways, that we are being incredibly manipulated into being the worst versions of ourselves in online spaces. It's more profitable to bring out the worst in us than the best--at least, that's what Big Business seems to believe. I find it hard to believe, though, that we can be all that much more fake online than in-person--if you really think about it. We are always modulating ourselves and our reactions to accommodate those around us. We are constantly being told not to be ourselves through social, academic, professional, etc. conditioning. Does anybody really know who they are? Do you? I just don't think it's apt or fair to say that we are being anymore fake online when there's no proof we were ever being real before.

So, Locke is trying to establish somewhat of a hierarchy of language based in clarity. Names of simple substances are closest to the Truth of the substance. "Philosophical" words are furthest from Truth because what the concepts/things they represent are most difficult to nail down. I wonder, then, if we can translate this to exploring the human--do we have a hierarchy of understanding? Or a hierarchy of Truest representation?

Like Locke, Karen Barad is pushing against the idea of words as representational of things, with her performative model?

"A performative understanding of discursive practices challenges the representationalist belief in the power of words to represent preexisting things" (Barad 802).

In what ways does performance differ from "mental phenomena"? Mental = internal only where performance = internal and external?

Side note: every time someone says phenomena, I hear this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ytei6bu7kQ

Cf. Muckelbauer's Future of Invention, where the Model is an entity to be represented and representations are Copies or Simulacra.

Muckelbauer points out that a Copy, while true (or truer) to the Model to a certain extent, does less than a Simulacrum, which is just 'off' enough from the Model to have a distinct existence, to function in a different way. When Barad (a few lines below) questions whether these representations function accurately, she's questioning the purpose of the Copy, where its only role is to emulate the original. To me, it seems that an inaccurate representation might prove more interesting, to take on life of its own, separate from the Model.

Likeness: The external form or outward appearance of something; esp. a shape, form, or appearance which resembles that of a particular thing; a guise, a semblance.

...as opposed to...

Real: Having an objective existence; actually existing physically as a thing, substantial; not imaginary.

Interesting that "objective existence" requires separation, removal from others, where likeness requires a subject to be modeled after.

I love the triple-slam here. Science, language, the law (specifically representative democracy, in this case): all of these rely on representations to communicate, therefore all are suspect.

Maybe not in complex patterns or language, but would the fact that they were using colors at all make it representational on some level?

Similarly stated on pg. 11 how images are just a representation of our conception: "Thus, with the cave art, a drawing of a bison is understood to be a representation of the artist’s conception of a bison."

Reminds me a bit of an old adage within CAA, but this one is far more toxic than the positive version that CAA used. Theirs amounted to occupying executives with CAA client meetings and material so they just didn't have time to handle other talent.

"Activities are collaborative"

Activity representations are also crucial here, as is the "mediating role of the digital work environment" for collaboration.

Flag this to connect to the Goffman reading (Presentation of Self in Everyday Life) and crowdsourcing/collective intelligence readings.

Qualitative time as a way to express a new present in some one else's past.

It may sound obvious but it actually works. Just did it with each of these three words (on DuckDuckGo) and the results, though unsurprising, bring home the point. Tried switching on the Canadian filter, to check if their might be a difference, and it mostly reorders the results, for some reason. Also tried “student” and “musician” which provide an interesting contrast. Doing this exercise in class, would probably start by asking learners to write down what they expect to get. (Might even do it in my applied anthro class, tomorrow.)

En el caso de los Data Selfies, lo que queremos hacer es presentar otra idea sobre nosotros mismos, nuestros gobernantes e instituciones públicas (principalmente). Particularmente por la sensación de no ser representados apropiadamente por la línea de tiempo de Twitter.

Sounds confusing, but think about the previous example of the picture with the woman and the different layers.

Think of the input as the picture, and it being represented by may features, like edges, shades, shape, etc.

Then those generalized concepts or features, being reused across different aspects of the photo, say for different parts where edges exist, or shapes. A very loose comparison is a reusable class that occurs throughout the program .

Hm… The person in the chair doesn’t look at all like Yuval Harari. Wonder if one of the potential suitors (“Paul” and “John”) have any similarity with Itzik.

paradigme performatif : plus de distinction entre réel et irréel, entre vérité et fiction.

performatif VS représentationnel

Unfortunately as an industry we're stuck here.

Reality as defined by aesthetics. That's fun.

Implies that the sound is, somehow, directly related to the perception of something?
