The document discusses feminist digital praxis and cutting through noise. It references theorists who see cutting as a way to differentiate and create, and who advocate cutting well. Various concepts are discussed, such as editing film, dialectical montage, hyperlinking, and abjection. Loops and lines are examined as narrative forms. The document advocates cutting/pasting to break binaries and using objects of study to do justice and evoke possibility. It concludes by questioning how digital practices and shared emotions can facilitate political action and social change.
Power Point that accompanies my talk, To Perform a Theory of Feminist Digital Praxis: Cutting Through the Noise of the Digital Self, Noise Seminar, Utrecht, August 27, 2014
A playful stroll thru heuristic fields of thought & feeling, focused upon opportunities for Foreign Language Learning Pedagogy to be transformed by New Media (Lev Manovich), NeuroCinematics, WeChat/WhatsApp, English Corners, right-brained learning/acquisition. Wikinomics and the practices of mass collaboration can be used by language learners for income generation--by doing audio editing of their target language to expandtheir level of i+1 (Krashen's concept of expanding one's level of comprehension of the target language input),by using repetition of audio segments (speeches/film dialogues/songs/etc.), silence, background music, slowing the speed of speech (but not the frequency). Such income-generating mass collaboration projects can benefit economically-challenged individuals/schools/NGOs/etc.
A talk I gave for the SOLAR research group. It covers issues in open scholarship, alt metrics & online identity. It was a bit of a catch-all talk, which I'll probably refine over the next few months.

Zombie Pedagogies: Embodied Learning in the Digital AgeJesse Stommel
Video Preview: http://bit.ly/digitalhuman
There is no one pedagogical strategy that works for all students and teachers or in all situations. The space of the classroom is shifting and dynamic, so we need our pedagogies to proliferate, not to congeal. Like Mary Shelley’s monster in Frankenstein, who is also an amalgam, we are being (re)made online, as our flesh is reduced to a husk, a remainder. We crave, and are nostalgic for, a visceral experience of the body, and our increasing cultural interest in the zombie is part and parcel of this. The zombie is not the villain in this scenario but a metaphorical antidote to the erosion of our physicality. As our reliance on technology increases, the zombie asks us to discover in the digital what remains voraciously humane. As pedagogical beasts, zombies advance slowly and deliberately. They limp, stumble, moan, and clamor as they surge forth, all in imperfect unison, a cacophony of sounds, always walking, always reaching. And so a hybrid digital pedagogy demands we create more collaborative and less hierarchical spaces for learning -- lest we use computers to replicate the vestigial structures of industrial-era education.
Critical Pedagogy, Organic Writing, and the Changing Nature of ScholarshipJesse Stommel
Using critical pedagogy as the foundation for their work in hybrid and fully-digital environments, Jesse Stommel (Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities at University of Wisconsin-Madison; @Jessifer) and Pete Rorabaugh (Assistant Professor of English in the English, Technical Communication, and Media Arts Department at Southern Polytechnic State University; @allistelling) explore how academic writing and scholarship are changing from within and without. Pete discusses the practice of Organic Writing and how the affordances of digital environments allow us to explore how to teach writing as a creative and critical thinking process. Jesse focuses on the ways that new-form multimodal scholarship upsets the distinction between academic writing and public outreach.

A case study on autho socialization in online platformsIJMIT JOURNAL
Auto socialization Theory[1][2]is a socialization theory, introduced by Swedish Social Psychology Professor Emeritus Lars Dencik, Roskilde University Center (RUC) on how humans socialize, attempting to be a part of a group by using a taxonomy in three stages. Even though the theory is based on
socialization amongst minors, the adult human uses Auto socialization to navigate everyday life in all its aspects of interaction, including communications, collaborations through online platforms. By focusing on the Auto socialization aspect in an online context, it is possible to explain why online platforms e.g. Facebook, World of Warcraft are so successful in maintaining and increasing the numbers of stabile
audience and why other platforms, offering learning on a massive scale, (MOOC) facing dropout rates in the high 80 -90’s[3][4][5].

Give Me A Place To Stand On and I Will Move The Earth: The Potential for Agen...Edmund Chattoe-Brown
The technique of Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) is increasingly well known in the social sciences. However its associated methodology, partly through neglect within the ABM community itself, is much less well known. It is this methodology that justifies any claim that ABM may try to make that it is a distinctive way of doing social science. It also gives ABM a distinctive relationship with commonly available forms of social science data (quantitative and qualitative). This talk uses two simple examples of ABM (one network based and the other not) to justify the claim that ABM is a distinctive approach to social science (and data) when it follows a particular methodology. It also touches briefly on the implications of non-linearity in social systems for the potential inadequacy of qualitative and quantitative approaches operating in isolation. The main part of the talk will build on this insight to investigate the key role that ABM could play in understanding social networks with particular reference to existing Social Network Analysis (SNA) approaches and the prevailing “separatist” use of qualitative and quantitative data.
New-form Scholarship and the Public digital humanitiesJesse Stommel
New-form scholarship reconsiders citation and peer-review, while re-imagining the containers and audiences for academic work. Digital platforms, like Twitter, open-access journals, and blogs offer both limitations and possibilities. The public digital humanities is built around networked learning communities, not repositories for content, and its scholarly product is a conversation, one that engages a broad public while blurring the distinction between research, teaching, service, and outreach. In short, the public digital humanities starts with humans, not technologies or tools.
How do creative networks are born and evolve? What is the key to optimal creative collaboration? Is creativity contagious? A summary of our theoretical and empirical research addressing these questions.

Looking Toward Cyberspace:
Beyond Grounded Sociology
Cyberspace and Identity
SHERRY TURKLE
Program in Science, Technology, and Society
Massachusetts Institute of Bechnolo<gy
We come to see ourselves differently as we catch
sight of our images in the mirror of the machine.
Over a decade ago, when I first called the com-
puter a "second self" (1984), these identity-
transforming relationships were most usually
one-on-one, a person alone with a machine.1
This is no longer the case. A rapidly expanding
system of networks, collectively known as the
Internet, links millions of people together in
new spaces that are changing the way we think,
the nature of our sexuality, the form of our com-
munities, our very identities. In cyberspace, we
are learning to live in virtual worlds. We may
find ourselves alone as we navigate virtual
oceans, unravel virtual mysteries, and engineer
virtual skyscrapers. But increasingly, when we
step through the looking glass, other people are
there as well.
Over the past decade, I have been engaged in
the ethnographic and clinical study of how peo-
ple negotiate the virtual and the "real" as they
represent themselves on computer screens
linked through the Internet. For many people,
such experiences challenge what they have tra-
ditionally called "identity," which they are
moved to recast in terms of multiple windows
and parallel lives. Online life is not the only fac-
tor that is pushing them in this direction; there
is no simple sense in which computers are caus-
ing a shift in notions of identity. It is, rather,
that today's life on the screen dramatizes and
concretizes a range of cultural trends tha.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
7. Loop …
“Can the loop be a new narrative form appropriated
for the computer age?”
“It is relevant to recall that the loop gave birth not
only to cinema but also to computer programing.
Programming involved altering the linear flow of
data through control structures such as ‘if/then’
and ‘repeat/while.’”

cutting through the flow of mediation.”
“Time is indivisible, continuous and unknowable, at
least to the intellect. In order to ‘know’ it, we must
… cut.”
Kember and Zylinska
17. “What does it mean to cut well?”
Today’s #ev-ent-anglement:
links a distinctly feminist armature to Kember
and Zylinska’s more minimal or abstract
framework of
“photography as a form of differentiation and
life making”
18. K & Z’s Imperative
“to get outside oneself and to be technical, that
is, to bring things forth, to create, is perhaps
also an ethical injunction to create well, even if
not a condition of ethical behavior.”
20. #Cut/Paste+Bleed
Please refer to your script.
I request that you join the #ev-ent-anglement at
least twice during this “talk.”
I hope we might “do media studies” in a form that is
not only analysis but is “simultaneously critical and
creative.” (K & Z, xvii)
24. “Film Editing:
The Art of the Expressive”
Where the cut allows for “pruning, curtailing,
rejecting, removing” the join permits “adding
and accreting.” (Valerie Orpen, Film Editing)
26. To Edit
“gives the director an almost limitless freedom
of movement once he can split up action into
small, manageable units” while also conveying
“a sense of time to the spectator.”
The Technique of Film Editing, Karel Reisz and Gavin Millar
27. Dialectical Montage
“We have now only to mention a large number of
other dialectics that are quite difficult to categorize:
those concerning dialogue, the style of acting, the
decor, make-up, and costumes—everything, in
short, relating to the explicit content of images and
sounds. For structures almost always seem to occur
in dialectical form—that is to say, a structure
necessarily evolves within a parameter defined by
one or more pairs of clearly delineated poles.”
Noel Burch: Theory of Film Practice
28. This dissonance, this formal affront, this
attack on spatio-temporal coherence
“hypermediacy … the collage of effect of media
forms and styles” (K & Z, 8)
29. "Your Nostalgia Is Killing Me" (2013), a poster designed for
posterVIRUS by Vincent Chevalier and Ian Bradley-Perrin
30. Spatial Montage
“The avant-garde strategy of collage reemerged
as the ‘cut-and-paste’ command, the most basic
operation one can perform on digital data.”
Lev Manovich
32. “The Cut-Up Method of Brion Gysin”
“Cut ups are for everyone. Anybody can make
cut ups. It is experimental in the sense of being
something to do.”
William S. Burroughs
33. Hyperlinking
“The acceptance of hyperlinking in the 1980s
can be correlated with contemporary culture’s
suspicion of all hierarchies, and preference for
the aesthetics of collage in which radically
different sources are brought together within a
singular cultural object.”
(Manovich, 76)
40. Link Me
“As a substance that flows from the bodily
depths out, menstrual blood is carefully
managed, concealed, contained and increasingly
suppressed through the use of hormonal
contraceptives. We can read the management of
this flow of blood as a means of working on the
body’s boundaries, that is, of demarcating the
body’s inside from its outside.”
Emilia Sanabria, “The Body Inside Out: Menstrual
Management and Gynaecological Practices in Brazil”
41. Metaphoric Glue
“forces, intensities, and energies not
substances,” effecting the “complex, random
processes not predictable states”
Diana Coole and Samantha Frost, “Introduction”
New Materialisms: Ontology, Agency and Politics
42. #Ev-ent-anglement, Imperative 4
“What kind of politics could embrace partial,
contradictory, permanently unclosed
constructions of personal and collective selves
and still be faithful, effective—and, ironically,
socialist-feminist?”
Donna Haraway, “A Cyborg Manifesto”
43. “An argument for pleasure in the confusion of boundaries and
for responsibility in their construction,” Donna Haraway

45. Intra-action
“There is no ‘between’ as such, human and non-
human organisms and machines emerge only
through their mutual co-constitution.”
Karen Barad
46. Loops & Lines
“A line both divides things and creates spaces
that we can imagine we can be ‘in.’”
“Collectives seem to have ‘lines’ in the sense of
being modes of following: to inhabit a collective
might mean to follow a line.”
Sara Ahmed, Queer Phenomenology
47. Circles and Loops
The circle of consciousness-raising and the videos it inspired directly contest
the patriarchal, linear project of industrial production with its predictable
plots (and products). In First Day FSW, 1980, that year’s body of students
introduce themselves to each other, and us, by passing the camera around the
circle. “Julie James. I am seed. I am heart. I am healing. I am power. I am
smooth. I am alive. I am dark red. I am pulsing. I am magic. I am clearing. I am
self.” And so on. After the tape ends with the group joining together in a
rousing class portrait culminating with a chant, “Feminist Studio Workshop,
1979-80,” and a loud “YEAH!” a quick fade to black bumps us against an
unanticipated snippet of yet another circle. We accidentally fall into the last
five minutes of a consciousness-raising meeting of a group of deaf women
(perhaps the other tape was taped over this), who speak together (we hear
through an interpreter while they sign) about the role of affection in their
lives, and end their meeting (and tape) with a group (circle) hug.
Juhasz, “Views of the Feminist Archive”
48. Circles and Loops, Looped
“The loop and the sequential progression, do
not have to be considered mutually exclusive. A
computer program progresses from start to end
by executing a series of loops.”
Lev Manovich
58. #Ev-ent-anglement, Directive 5,
Cut Our Feminist Objects Well
“Evoke the possibility of doing justice to and
with objects of study.”
“The disciplinarity of Women’s and Gender
Studies proceeds precisely from its formalization
of the political as the value that differentiates it
from traditional fields of study.”
Robyn Wiegman, Object Lessons
60. Beyond Self-Expression
“once such self-visualization and expression is
widely available, how do we strategize our
activism around the new forms, links, and
actions that said expression takes up? And, most
critically, what else might be needed beyond
speaking and spreading our ideas through
digital realist representations?”
Juhasz, “Ceding the Activist Digital Documentary,” in Nash,
Hight and Summerhayes, eds., New Documentary Ecologies
61. Cut into Art
Lowly bits of evidence—like our tweets, reposts,
thumbs up, photographs, and cat gifs—do not
become a digital documentary, do not have
enough meaning—until they are edited, by a
documentarian, and thereby organized into an
argument; until they are aestheticized by being
made into art.
Juhasz, “Ceding the Digital Documentary”
62. Conclusion
• In what ways can digital practices participate
in the distribution of affects and feelings as a
strategy of resistance and subversion?
• How can emotions, once shared, facilitate
political action, recognition, and dialogue, and
bring about social change?
63. Conclusion, Again
For now and into the future, I am committed to
experimenting with #ev-ent-anglements, made
by cutting/pasting+bleeding ourselves, co-
produced with purpose and commitment, in
shared spaces and times both on and off line.
Together, today, and always also later on the
Internet, we might make things that could
inspire change, but might themselves be the
thing that is change in the making.
