You asked for my comments on this 4 or 5 days ago but Christmas and illness have intervened – viruses and crowded shops 🙁 Anyway my head is a bit fuzzy so I still may not make much sense – just ignore any rubbish I talk. Three concepts struck me from your post. Power, that some of the things you spoke were or weren’t binaries – inclusion/ exclusion marginalized/demarginalized diverse/? and lastly intersectionality. I have studied and written quite bit about power and binary oppositions (also polarisation) but I am still at the foothills of intersectionality. From my naive state of knowledge, I think that intersectionality as a perspective might be able to help us make sense of power and what sometimes look like binaries but all of these interrelated anyway. As I was reflecting on this, I thought about the challenges of exploring ideas in our online social conversational contexts. Who says what, who hears what, what and how the platform presents or hides and all of these happening across cultural and sociotechnical contexts. I had reread something I blogged nearly three years ago and the conversation around it. I could contrast how the writing helped my own thinking but its limitations as an aid to conversation with others. Thinking, talking and listening – they aren’t easy 🙂
