Happy Holidays!




The semester is almost over, and that means its time for me to compose some thoughts. As usual, this opens more questions than it answers, but I'm pretty happy about how it turned out.

Collecting Knowledge: Narrative Tapestries and Database Substrates

"An examination of Web 2.0 using Manovich’s Language of New Media, and an interpretation of folksonomies within the context of the narrative-database dichotomy. This inquiry looks at tagging as a mechanism for constructing narratives from databases, and relates narratives to knowledge construction and representation. Educational curricular activities involving tagging will also be considered."

Special thanks to Prof. John Broughton, John Frankfurt, Michael Preston, and Alexander Sherman for helping me develop these ideas.
