I feel like I've been bouncing around all day. In Barry (2002), I've been reading about post-structuralism, deconstruction, modernism, and post-modernism.
Online, I fell down a rabbit hole. When I was talking to Michael about "The Death of the Author", he mused about the death of the blogger. I searched that phrase, curious if anyone had developed that idea. Only six hits for that exact phrase, which is so rare.
One of the hits led me to a post on a blog called Reassigned Time.
This is an academic blog and this particular entry from early 2007 mourns Michael Bérubé's decision to stop blogging. It's also an interesting take on the place of blogging within academia and on academics who blog. This led me to Bérubé's blog (he restarted his blog last month), and that led me to this article in the Pittsburgh City Paper about Bérubé and his views on politics and academic freedom.
Via Facebook, I was led to this video from last week's "Rebooting the News" conference in Philadelphia. The workshop focuses on copyright and fair use and has given me a really good reason to look forward to November 11th. For more information, check out Renee Hobbs' Media Education Lab.
Good stuff.
