Posted on May 3, 2014 by araehug

Everyone knows when we post online, we’re being watched. The NSA, the FBI, Google, Facebook, Apple, Visa, ModCloth–they monitor our online activities for patterns that indicate danger or that can teach them to market directly to us; they monitor for … Continue reading →

Richard Joyce, “Internet Surveillance: A Virtual Panopticon?”

Posted on April 21, 2014 by araehug

This short blog post appears to be part of Richard Joyce’s blog for a course at Bowdoin, and, similar to this blog, he’s thinking through some of his own thoughts in relation to what he’s read. The thrust of his thinking … Continue reading →

Indhu Rajagopal, “Does the Internet shape a disciplinary society? The information-knowledge paradox”

Posted on April 14, 2014 by araehug

Rajagopal’s essay considers the relationship between information and knowledge through a Foucauldian framework. This was a complex, dry argument, so I’m going to try to communicate what I understood, and what I might continue to think about. In the knowledge/power … Continue reading →

Posted on April 14, 2014 by araehug

Simon Copland, “The Culture of Confession”

Posted on April 13, 2014 by araehug

This short blog post on the Moonbat (Big ideas, big politics.) makes the same, limited move that much of what I’ve read before does: Copland begins with a nice little summary of Foucault’s confessional, and then turns to apply it … Continue reading →

Posted on April 11, 2014 by araehug

Special Interest Group discussion in another class, Critical Issues in the Teaching of Writing: Histories, Theories and Practices of Writing Centers and One-to-One Teaching, brought me Stephen Davenport Jukuri’s chapter in Stories from the Center, “Negotiating the ‘Subject’ of Composition: Writing Centers … Continue reading →

Tom Brignall III, “The New Panopticon – The Internet Viewed as a Structure of Social Control”

Posted on April 8, 2014 by araehug

I would have never guessed that this article was post-9/11, but according to this vaguely-identified HTML version of it, it was published in 2002. I don’t know why no one has considered the panopticon and the internet more recently, but … Continue reading →

James Boyle, “Foucault in Cyberspace: Surveillance, Sovereignty, and Hardwired Censors”

Posted on April 6, 2014 by araehug

Jeez, I thought the last article I read was too old. This 1997 article applies a somewhat Foucauldian framework to thinking about the “Holy Trinity” of the internet in its adolescence–three ideas which have had a profound impact and may be … Continue reading →
