Hello friendly beings! You have reached the construction site of my senior thesis, which focuses on the rise of Web 2.0 technology and its implications for knowledge structures and liberal democracy. I’ve created this blog to document the process behind my research, both for my own organizational benefit as well as to create a forum for discussion between myself and readers, readers and readers, &c. Your thoughts, feedback, criticism, and questions are all welcome; they are the manifestation of the content of my argument. ‘Cause I can’t write a thesis on web 2.0 without bringing a little web 2.0 into the mix, right? Mmm meta… .
And who am I? Here is a brief smattering of facts to stymy/stimulate your curiosity:
My birth name is Renee Leigh Verdier, which means literally “the reincarnate of a beautiful green place.” I am a student of political theory & consciousness at Wesleyan University, and currently reside in New York City. I work at BOMB magazine as an editorial assistant and first reader for their poetry and prose supplement. I like: traveling, literature, psychedelic trance, photography, poi, outlaws, clairvoyants, synaesthesia, people who know secret things, people who like to play. I am: a writer, a vegetarian, an aspiring iron chef, a dj, a dancer, a joker, smoker, midnight toker…
In sum: This world is largely coated by water but that which is without can be trod by Fish in wheeled tanks. I am one of those fish. Look west and hear my coming.
