This document discusses how interaction genres and multiminding practices have evolved with network-based work. It presents a framework that maps interaction based on the dimensions of space (co-located vs. remote) and time (synchronous vs. asynchronous). Originally in 2008, this led to four genres of separation, contemplating, choosing, and commuting. By 2014, new genres of togetherness and continuity had emerged due to technological changes enabling greater collaboration across distances and times. The concept of "multiminding" also developed as workers managed attention at broader temporal scales beyond single tasks.

Introduction to Communication Theory
Overview: Chapters 1 to 4 of "A First Look at Communication Theory," 9th Edition by Griffin, Ledbetter & Sparks
Ethnomethodology
Ethnomethodology is an approach to studying human interaction that focuses on how people make sense of their social world and communicate shared understandings. It assumes that members of society have shared methods to construct meaningful social situations. A key method is "breaching experiments" where sociologists violate social norms to study how people respond. The document discusses breaching experiments, key theorists like Garfinkel and Sacks, and areas of focus for ethnomethodology like institutional settings, challenges to record keeping, and conversational analysis. It raises questions about whether ethnomethodology is a valid form of sociology and how it addresses power.
Structuralism, Post-structuralism, and Structuration
This document outlines three schools of thought - structuralism, post-structuralism, and structuration. Structuralism sees our lives as determined by impersonal social structures that pre-exist us. Post-structuralism emerged from structuralism and rejects Enlightenment reason, focusing on interconnected power-knowledge and disciplinary power that imprints on bodies. Structuration theory links structure and agency interactively, rejecting a strict dichotomy between the two. Theorists discussed include de Saussure, Foucault, Lacan, Althusser, Derrida, Bourdieu, and Giddens.
Mehan hugh-the-reality-of-ethnomethodology
This passage discusses the nature of reality through an examination of how the Azande people of Africa understand their oracles. It makes three key points:
1. The Azande's belief in their oracles is an "incorrigible proposition" that is assumed to be true regardless of any contradictory experiences, similar to mathematical axioms.
2. Their reality is constructed through ritual practices that transform tree bark into a vessel for the oracle's messages. Contradictions only exist from an outside Western scientific perspective, not from within their own reality.
3. When contradictions occur, the Azande employ "secondary elaborations of belief" to explain them while still maintaining the absolute reality of their or
English 015 Final Project Memoir
The narrator loses his 3-year-old sister Mia at Disneyworld after becoming distracted seeing his favorite characters Buzz and Woody. He panicked and cried as police searched for over 20 minutes until finally finding Mia wandering alone in another part of the park. The narrator learned an important lesson about responsibility from this traumatic experience.
Effective presentation strategies
The document discusses effective strategies for technical report writing and presentations. It covers defining the purpose, analyzing the audience, organizing the content into an introduction, main body and conclusion with clear transitions. Additional tips include preparing an outline, using visual aids, understanding delivery styles, handling questions, and using effective vocal techniques like volume, pace and pronunciation. The overall focus is on planning an effective presentation through audience analysis, clear organization and structure, and strong delivery skills.
Cultural Language of Business
This document contains notes from a presentation on cultural awareness. It defines culture and discusses several cultural frameworks, including Lewis' cultural types, Hall's concepts of context and time orientation, and Hofstede's cultural constructs. Key points covered include the differences between individualist and collectivist cultures, high versus low context communication, and monochronic versus polychronic time. The presentation emphasizes understanding one's own culture and how cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings in business.
rhetoric, images and the language of seeing
This document discusses rhetoric and communication theories. It provides an overview of different traditions in the field of communication studies, including cybernetics, phenomenology, sociocultural studies, semiotics, and rhetoric. Rhetoric is broadly defined as human symbol use and the process of adjusting ideas and people through messages. The five canons of rhetoric from ancient Greece - invention, arrangement, style, delivery, and memory - are examined and given contemporary interpretations related to conceptualization, organization, meaning assignment, relationships, context, interpretation, and cultural memory. The document then discusses images and photography, how photographs capture meaning and have their own symbolic language and rhetoric.

Resistance and the problem of - Ortner
This document summarizes Sherry B. Ortner's article "Resistance and the Problem of Ethnographic Refusal" which was published in Comparative Studies in Society and History in 1995. The article traces how a lack of ethnographic perspective has limited studies of resistance. Ortner argues that resistance studies stand in for broader interdisciplinary work. She defines the ethnographic stance as a commitment to thickness through richness, texture, and detail. Ethnographic refusal involves a failure of thickness through a lack of holism or contextualization. The article then discusses how the concept of resistance has become more complicated with the recognition of less organized and everyday forms of resistance.

Katie King discusses the challenges of transdisciplinary work under conditions of global academic restructuring. On one hand, disciplines strengthen identities to maintain authority, while interdisciplinary work is more easily assessed through clear outcomes. However, diverging knowledge worlds complicate such management. She advocates an approach of "knowledge-weaving" that embraces different genres and audiences to address these issues. Transdisciplinary work requires navigating between disciplinary chauvinisms and easily assessed interdisciplinarity under current academic conditions.

Organizing a critical communicology of
gender and work
KAREN LEE ASHCRAFT AND DENNIS K. MUMBY
Abstract
This article engages in two broad tasks. First, it articulates the basic prem-
ises of a ‘‘critical communicology of gender and work,’’ suggesting a com-
munication-oriented model for examining the relationships among gender,
discourse, organizing, and power. The four basic elements of this model
are (1) a postmodern feminist conception of subjectivity, (2) a dialectical
conception of the relationship between power and resistance, (3) a dia-
chronic perspective on gender and work, emphasizing the importance of
historical context for gender analyses of organizing, and (4) a dialectical
view of the relationship between discursive and material worlds. Second, the
article demonstrates the heuristic value of this model through an empirical
analysis of professional airline pilot identities. Drawing on both archival
and interview data, the analysis shows how these identities are far from
fixed and unitary, but are actually complex discursive constructions pro-
duced by myriad historical, cultural, political, and economic forces. The
analysis positions gender, not as a marginal feature of organizational life,
but as a constitutive feature of the relations among power, discourse, iden-
tity, and organizing.
1. Introduction
Although scholars have studied gender in organizations for over three
decades, comparatively little research has examined the ways in which
organizations are fundamentally gendered. In recent years, however, crit-
ical and feminist scholars have begun to theorize gender as a fundamental
organizing principle. For example, Acker (1990) proposed a sociology
of gendered organization, arguing that ‘‘advantage and disadvantage,
exploitation and control, action and emotion, meaning and identity, are

patterned through and in terms of a distinction between male and female,
masculine and feminine’’ (Acker 1990: 146). A number of scholars have
extended Acker’s framework, exploring the complex relations among
gender, power, discourse and organizing (e.g., Alvesson 1998; Britton
1997; Ehlers 1998; Gregg 1993; Martin 1990). Indeed, much of the re-
search conducted in the last ten years or so has married theoretical so-
phistication with ‘‘thick description’’ to provide insight into the gendered
character of everyday organizational life (e.g., Holmer Nadesan 1996;
Martin et al. 1998; Scheibel 1996; Trethewey 1997).
While we position our e¤orts firmly within this body of literature, the
present study stems from two observations about the growing research
on gendered organization. First, we see much of it as reflecting a general
proclivity toward the physical site of work. This focus downplays par-
allel (and intersecting) formations that organize work, such as labor per-
formed beyond traditional work sites ( Rollins 1.
Space for writing

Interculturality and intertextuality
The document provides several definitions of culture from anthropologists and scholars. Culture is defined as the cumulative knowledge, beliefs, values and material objects acquired by a group over generations. It also refers to learned behaviors and elements that are shared and transmitted between members of a society. Additionally, culture is described as the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes one group of people from another.

Katie King discusses her research into distributed animality and cognition using her avatar in the virtual world Second Life. She explores how identities and knowledge can be distributed across both human and non-human actors through practices like transgendering and interactions with virtual dogs in Second Life. King draws from theorists like Haraway who discuss how human and non-human bodies and cognitions are entangled in complex ways.
Coworking: A Transdisciplinary Overview
Coworking: A Transdisciplinary Overview
Julian Waters-Lynch, Jason Potts, Tim Butcher, Jago Dodson, Joe Hurley.
Abstract
The purpose of this working paper is to introduce the concept of ‘coworking’ to an academic audience. It argues that coworking is a complex social phenomenon that can be differentiated from other spatial concepts that relate to work, learning and social interactions.
The paper provides an
historical account of the origins of coworking and reviews the existing scholarly and popular literature, offering a theoretical distinction between coworking spaces and serviced offices that
hinges upon the degree of social collaboration versus the importance of location and facilities of the office environment.
An overview of recent data on the number and location of coworking spaces across the world is provided, including a few examples that demonstrate the spatial distribution of coworking spaces within cities. It also provides some data on typical coworking profiles, and links coworking to the broader contextual debates on non-standard and creative work.
Finally the paper suggests some future research directions by linking relevant extant theory with key questions across the fields of economic geography, urban planning economics and
organisational studies.
3 b media discourses
Discourse refers to systems of language use and socially constructed knowledge. Discourse theory examines how language shapes social relations and power structures. Michel Foucault argued that discourses create "regimes of truth" that shape perceptions. Norman Fairclough studied the relationship between social structures, practices, and discourse. Analyzing discourses can highlight how words and texts influence identity and participation in power. However, some criticize that discourse theory is too focused on words and subjective interpretations.
Narrative inquiry
This document provides an overview of narrative inquiry as a qualitative research methodology. It defines key terms and concepts in narrative inquiry. Narrative inquiry studies experience as understood narratively, through concepts like temporality, sociality, and place. Research can start from either stories participants tell or from living stories as experiences unfold. Field texts are created from stories and analyzed considering narrative elements. The recursive process involves moving between fieldwork, field texts, interim analyses, and final research texts while thinking narratively about the phenomenon under study. Design considerations include justifying and framing the research puzzle and acknowledging the ongoing nature of experience.
Mutuality pina cabral
This document summarizes and discusses two contemporary anthropological concepts of mutuality. The first concept, referred to as "ethnographic mutuality", emerges in the work of Johannes Fabian and Michael Carrithers and refers to the co-responsibility and shared understanding that develops between anthropologists and their informants during fieldwork. The second concept, put forth by Marshall Sahlins, views mutuality as a constitutive principle of kinship that allows persons to be comprised of and defined by their relationships with others. The author argues that these two concepts of mutuality are interrelated because they both involve the movement between singularity and plurality in defining persons and relationships. Ethnographic mutuality demonstrates how anthropologists and informants

Talkin bout a Revoluition: New Literacies, New Practices
1. The document discusses the evolution of the concept of literacy from traditional definitions focused on functional skills to broader definitions encompassing critical thinking and social practices in different contexts.
2. New definitions of literacy consider it as social practice embedded in cultural and community contexts using various modalities beyond just printed text.
3. Emerging technologies and digital media have created new forms of literacy practices described as new literacies that are more collaborative, participatory, and distributed across networks.
Sociology Colloquium Research Paper: The Place Attachments of College Students
This study examines the place attachments of college students and aims to expand on Jennifer Cross's interactional framework of place attachment. The study utilizes focus groups and surveys of college students to understand how place attachments form during a transitory life stage like college. The findings support Cross's seven processes of place attachment (sensory, narrative, historical, spiritual, ideological, commodifying, material dependence), but also identify some differences in how attachments form for those in transitional periods. Specifically, the study distinguishes between ancestral/genealogical and biographical historical attachments. It also emphasizes the central role of social ties and relationships in forming attachments through various processes.
Anthropological Relocations And The Limits Of Design
This document summarizes Lucy Suchman's reflections on her experience working between anthropology and design. Some key points:
1) Suchman uses the concepts of "location" and "design" as touchstones to examine anthropology's history and positioning in relation to technological and social issues, as well as her own relocation into worlds of professional technology design.
2) She argues that while design has been proposed as a model for anthropology's future, it is better seen as a subject for anthropological study. A critical anthropology of design is needed to understand its cultural imaginaries and politics.
3) Drawing on her own experiences bridging the two fields, Suchman reflects on what insights they provide

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
