Anthropology of the Interent 3002-KON2019K34-OG
Seminar is devoted to the internet as specific cultural phenomenon.
The course is an attempt to show various cultural practices related to the global digital network and different ways of recognizing and researching the internet as a cultural phenomenon, with particular emphasis on the anthropological approach. One of the assumptions of the seminar is also to discover new cultural practices related to the internet and practical testing of various methodologies and research tools.
Classes are divided into two sections:
Stories:
1.Internet, internets, network, postmedium -
defining what the internet is, how do we perceive it and can it be defined consistently.
2. Before the Internet: concepts, ideologies, technologies, people

Research:
5.Genres, practices, internet
Can we talk about specific genres of "online creativity" or internet cultural practices?
6. A great quantification?
Qualitative research and Big Data, Quantified Self
7. Where's the research area?
Where to go and how to explore? Netnography, digital anthropology, hybrid terrain, selfentography, ethics
8. Acting as a research
Game playing, programming, creating
