Behaviour in Public? : Ethics in Online Ethnography

Submitted by Clancy on September 16, 2002 - 12:09.

This is one of the cool useful things you can do with Kairosnews, people! :-) Whenever I find a good source on ethnography for this bibliography I have to do, I'm going to post it, and whenever I want, I can do a search for "ethnography" on here and see everything I posted. Anyway--this piece is from a journal called Cybersociology, and it says what a lot of these sources are saying, that online interaction is just disembodied text. But what about textual cues that are infused with embodiment? Smileys, for instance, or hugs: ((((blacklily8)))).

Oops, forgot to make some reference to what she's saying about ethics: I haven't read the whole article yet, but it's along the lines of "respect people's privacy, even though the definitions of public and private are changing." This journal is great! I'll be posting links to other articles from it, probably.
