9th week's Summary

We learned about 'computer-aid' last week.
First, let's see about ethnomethodology. Ethnomethodologists assume that social order is illusory. Ethnomethodology: the study of how people make sense of the social world. And let's recall Johnstone's story generation game. 1. the story does not exist before the interaction; 2. if a story emerges, it emerges from the question and answer interaction.
Then, let's see about outline for last week now. 1. intro Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin 2. CSCW: computer-supported cooperative work 3. Winograd and Flores etc. and Keypoint is "Every digital media technology has an architecture using diagrams to compare physical architectures with digital architectures."

Then, what is the CSCW? Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) is a field of research and design. CSCW is considered to a part of a larger field known as CHI or HCI: human-computer interaction (HCI) design, evaluation, implementation, and study of interactive computing systems for human use. Also, Winograd and Flores present a methodology for CSCW analysis and design. This methodology is commonly known as the "language/action" perspective. They made "model of conversation." Conversations are sequences of actions because by saying things people are understood to be doing things.
This classroom's language/action perspective? 1. what is our network of recurrent (repeating) conversations? --->organization 2. what are our patterns of triggering and breakdown? --> linking t to t

Then, let's recall keypoint about last lectures.
Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships. ..but why change them? the ethnomethodologist might be right, but why would government and industry pay for work like that described by Winograd and Flores.
Key point of last week's lecture is "Every digital media technology has an architecture that can be used to transform work, play and governance." and what is the architecture of cyberspace? consider the hardware and software that links together (or separates) groups of people.

Let's see about Agre's "surveillance model".
1.territorial metaphors as in the "invasion of private space"
2.centralized orchestration by means of a bureaucracy with a unified set of files
3.identification with the state and malevolent aims of a specifically political nature
*history of surveillance: the panopticon -> Panopticon developed by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century for prison/similar designs adapted for hospitals and factories

Agre's "capture model" ->2. linguistic metaphors for human activities as simulating them to the constructs of computer system's representation languages
2. the assumption that the linguistic "parsing" of human activities involves active intervention and reorganization
*five stage cycle of grammars of action: 1. analysis 2.articulation 3.imposition
4. instrumentation 5. elaboration

Last week's lecture is very exciting and interesting. because Many player, photo etc. Next, expect.
