Up next is me(!) and my dear colleague/friend @dighall presenting "In Her/His/Their Words: Topic Modelling Trans Tumblr" #HASTAC2019
.@kcarrie a Save the Whales cluster of mainstream environmental images of whales etc does not overlap with #NoDPL protests; also see pro-pipeline cluster predom in Alberta & nationalist Canada hashtags vs local Vancouver pride hashtags previously #HASTAC2019 #stopkm
.@kcarrie can geolocate local protests to Vancouver (if tagged? so excited to discuss) which are different of NIMBY approach vs selfies of Indigenous-identified people who associate with the land #HASTAC2019 #stopkm
.@kcarrie 3 mos of protest data w 1k IG posts, cut frequency less than 10 (ohh what's in there? neat, lez discuss) >> sharing network graph which fluctuates around #noDPL in the US and other pipeline protests & many protest images / vis identofy as Indigenous #HASTAC2019 #stopkm
.@kcarrie IG analysis of "image mapping" not to reify but to embrace counter-mapping and elaborate political narratives of resistance >> grab hashtags via Python script with 30k posts of various pro-/anti-hashtags spec to issue #HASTAC2019 #stopkm #critgeog #geodata
.@kcarrie IG interesting bc more text and image than Twitter and located (we must discuss later!) w ofc limits of algorithmic control, terms of service and community policing, corporate sponsorship #HASTAC2019 #stopkm #critgeog #geodata
.@kcarrie much of this focus on natural resources reconstitutes notions of Canada as "nature" >> turn to Instagram as site to interrupt authority of culture to project on to us as domineering power #HASTAC2019 #stopkm
.@kcarrie "So let's talk about the pipeline!" Edmonton>Vancouver proposed pipeline led to many protests/ boycotts and it's now off the table but Alberta leader threatened to turn off fuel to BC #HASTAC2019 #stopkm
.@kcarrie begin by acknowledging we're on unceded Musqueam territory & once we realize this, all of our maps and norms and nations disappear and generate anticolonial thinking #HASTAC2019
And here's @kcarrie with "#stopkm: Instagram as Anticolonial Public Pedagogical Space" #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele "maybe we should undermine 'free speech' of trolling & hate speech to make the internet suck less" <3 || "move fast & break things" Facebook motto embraces settler futurity to disregard breaking American democratic process = as they said "sorry" to Congress #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele Larry Lessig there is always regulation: so whose interests win out? US corporate tech conglomerates >> social media sold as spaces of freedom that related to Manifest Destiny notions to ensure freedom/progress #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele "futurity is this very particular destiny...which is dependent on individual freedom" >> Barlow/FJTurner need "freedom from" not "freedom to" ie negative liberty of Ayn Rand (barf) >> perspectives of freedom from only fitting to privileged; cf. @lnakamur #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele Grateful Dead lyricist Barlow helped write ElectronicFrontierFoundation 1996 manifesto to "spread ourselves across the planet so no one can erase our thoughts" repeats Frederick J Turner's Manifest Destiny: link struggle for freedom to US 18thc colonialists #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele fast-fwding to the 1960s: Bay Area also imagined as sites of "frontier": counter-culture and new technology which historian #FredTurner says leads us into tech of the 1990s #technoutopianism #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele US Manifest Destiny "unused futurity" is better for "everyone" with no consideration of the costs, configured to the horizon of the future justifies the violence we need to not see in the present around us #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele fwd-looking vision of Westward expansion in tech expansions with telegraph lines (that Lady Liberty has streaming behind her) & the railroad building/steaming forth >> "progress" equated with and legitimated by technology to make "unused" lands "productive" #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele explaining colonial projection / vision of #ManifestDestiny w pixels.com/featured/5-american-prog... #HASTAC2019
.@amyadele starting "From #ManifestDestiny to Techno-Utopianism: The Settler Futurity of Social Media Platforms" >> we know social media is evil bc: capitalism ...and beyond that: attachment to individual freedom in the US #HASTAC2019
.EFields & ASJHarper: @tuckeve & #KWayneYang argue that decolonize / decolonization cannot easily be grafted onto pre-existing discourses/frameworks regardless of criticality, antiracism, or justice frameworks >> within interface we feel this is Indigenization instd #HASTAC2019
.EFields & ASJHarper: drew on #DanielHeathJustice's work to shape our guidelines / quantifiable metrics of new edits/articles/words fair to capture = shaping knowledge >> so then we asked does this represent a decolonial approach? #HASTAC2019
.EFields & ASJHarper: assignment of gap analysis, Wikipedia editing, reflection on First Nations topic --> evaluated Wikipedia as neutral pt of view, reliable source guidelines --> Edit-A-Thon: added 4,240 words! #HASTAC2019
.EFields & ASJHarper: What is critical information literacy? Knowledge engages with social construction and political qualities of information, enabled by open pedagogy so students define how they'll share/engage with & contribute to objects and information #HASTAC2019
.EFields & ASJHarper: How can #openpedagogy inform critical literacy instruction inside of the classroom? Breaks down teacher/student binary as equal partners to engage in collaborative empowering dialogue >> create/use #openeducation resources (OER) #HASTAC2019 cc @kag823
Next up Erin Fields & Adair Sonja Joan Harper on "Critical Information Literacy in Action: A Gap Analysis of Indigenous Wikipedia" spec within First Nations and Indigenous studies course #HASTAC2019
.#SarahNg: Chinese migration database has tracked 1/3 of the population also form "hegemony of memory via diaspora" -- talk more w Sarah! at ngsm AT uci DOT edu #HASTAC2019
.#SarahNg: Forest City Project ex of what redefines hybrid Muslim / Malaysian / Chinese identities into new border >> New Silk Road project uses shared memory to envision future through particular figure / Old Silk Rd as its past before Euro-colonialism #HASTAC2019
.#SarahNg these new and old borders of imperialism become ascribed on the body as where you belong becomes more hazy #HASTAC2019
.#SarahNg: ... "home" then becomes more fixed/reaffirmed against Other as propagation of the "Chinese Dream" (diff than Amer Dream) whereby Chinese become exporters of cultural identity by appealing to specific figures like Zeeghee (sp.) >> redefines borders/nations #HASTAC2019
