Cultural Production and Social Media as Capture Platforms: How the Matrix Has You
Start Date: 11/1/2013Start Time: 4:00 PM
End Date: 11/1/2013End Time: 6:00 PM

Event Description
Hector Postigo, PhD, associate professor at Temple University (NOTE: This event is for faculty and graduate students only)

 

In this presentation, the speaker will develop a theoretical framework (rooted in science and technology studies) for understanding how social media's technical feature-set creates a system of capture and conversion. Capture describes the persistent ways in which social web platforms record and fix online/offline social and technical practices. Conversion applies to the way in which technical architectures convert what is captured into value (both culturally contingent and economic).
