Writing a Hero
A struggle with text in memory of Prof. Norman Denzin. When we stack these treasures altogether, we build a monument
Postmodernism Trumps All
Monadism and postmodernism have displaced utilitarian ethics and modernist cultural norms. Social media users’ individual virtual spaces present personal desires as “truth.” Interactions are experienced as discrete/disconnected moments. Thinking is done through highly individualized narratives, as if all content is for one’s own entertainment, with no “real world” consequences attached to it. Clever postmodern playfulness through prosumerist appr…
The Nature of Epiphany
This autoethnographic reflection explores the nature of Denzin's notion of epiphany, an identifiable moment of lived experience that one can identify as a turning point in one's understanding of oneself and one's relationship to the world. The recurring, longitudinal but unpredictable characteristic of remembering the epiphanic moment as it erupts throughout one's life leads to the description of epiphany as if it has a life of its own. Thus the …
Father John, Technology, and God
Although insinuated into incredibly nuanced performances of everyday life, the ways in which we qualitatively ally with technology often continue to determine which of its potentialities will be realized. The following autoethnographic vignette takes to heart the Denzinian stylistic preferences don't tell and bury the theory, and the Actor-Network theory directive to produce a text that provides time rather than steals it, in terminology that the…
Beijing, 2006
This essay exemplifies the methodology of Global Technography, combining elements of autoethnography, photo essay, and actor-network theory to trace performative elements of global citizenship and global community facilitated by wireless mobile communications technology in the context of contemporary China. The result is a documentation of intensely personal and private communications practices even in highly public environments. Likewise, the pe…
Technography = Technology + Ethnography
Postmodern Gargoyles, Simulated Power Aesthetics
This work incorporates a camera as participant in the showing of experiences of surveillance, exploring some effects of defining power as the circulation of signifiers. This techno-ethnographic piece moves through numerous spaces, documenting how myth and aesthetics are experienced and play in everyday life, inducing performances that ultimately appear to stabilize and further legitimate a globally reaching network of surveillance
Beard Stories
To sport a beard signifies something. Stories are not generally written about being clean shaven. Although perfectly natural, a beard is an add-on, like an extra appendage. A beard is a style choice. This series of autoethnographic vignettes shows some of the added effects of a beard felt by a body aesthetic that already signifies "foreigner" in the national imaginary of South Korea. What begins with a simple assumption about a marker of foreignn…
