Week 3 [Seminar Notes] - Technologies of Everyday Life: A Narrative

Do not focus your presentation on just the readings. Do a small case study on a technology/medium.

Each week you will be given a supplementary reading you must source from the library resources (online or physically).

First Class Diary resources and examples for the first assessments of the module will be put on Study Direct.

Week 3: Seminar Notes
Technologies of Everyday Life: A Narrative

Non-Representational (Theory)
The use of a medium where it is not necessarily used for its primary function. e.g. mobile phone as an alarm clock

The context of how you present yourself is the representation of the self. Goffman argues that life is one of many different roles with regards to how you present yourself in your private and public spheres.

Phenomenology - A structure of everyday roles and a description of them.

We have routines to make us feel secure.
