Convidado: Richard Rogers (Universidade de Amsterdã)
The lecture historicises and theorises
digital methods, situating them as a part of the computational turn in
internet-related research, however distinct from big data, and contrasts them
ontologically and epistemologically from virtual or digitised methods,
construed as the importation of methods from the humanities and the social
sciences onto the web. It subsequently introduces the study of the ‘natively
digital’ (and the notion itself) and discusses the prospects of making findings
or having research outcomes that may be grounded in the online, putting forward
the notion of ‘online groundedness’. It does so through discussions of how to
study Wikipedia as cultural point of view and controversiality indicator.
