This blog is about the progress of the class that I am teaching Fall 2006. I hope to create a collaborative teaching environment with these blogs.
I just found out that Comparative Literature is offering me to teach a class on my dissertation topic. This is an invaluable opportunity and i hope to make it a very interesting and fun for the students (and also challenging...)

I examine the interaction between media environments, uses of media technologies, and cultural effects of technology in the convergence era. Specifically, I investigate the networks of knowledge that have crystallized around social media, video-sharing sites (YouTube and Revver), online games (in particular, Alternate Reality Games), message boards (Something Awful and 4Chan), and virtual worlds (Second Life). In my field work, I actively sought out instances where communities leveraged their network in the service of transgressive objectives.
