How do we code binary gender into the design of online spaces?
How could we AVOID coding binary gender into the design of online
spaces?
“Users must be creative within the bounds of the code of social media.” (from Reading Assignment)

from Reading Assignment• “Projects on Facebook are difficult since the site is in
constant change, and if you were to make a community that was private, organizers of that Facebook page would have to continue to keep up with the privacy settings to ensure safety and a sense of comfort for its users.”
• “Twitter, with its hash tags would be difficult to use. If a person used a word and hash tagged it not realizing what it might do (i.e. invite unwanted harassment) the space is compromised.”
• “Safety for so many trans* individuals and youth especially is crucial (Rooke 2010, 662) and I just don’t think that it can be provided on sites like Twitter and Facebook.”

Imagined Audience• “technology complicates our metaphors of
space and place” (115)• imagined audience vs. actual readers
– two different groups?
![Page 23: 19 November 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555a3885d8b42a83368b4999/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Context Collapse• “Twitter flattens
multiple audiences into one” (122)
• ‘nightmare reader’– “lowest common
denominator philosophy of sharing” (126)

FUCHS
• identify antagonisms: contradictory tendencies• consider dialectics: actuality/potentiality• no linear causes and effects more complex
– neither only opportunities nor only risks inherent in social phenomena but contradictory tendencies
• cooperative and participatory society– information and knowledge:
• free and accessible to all• produced for the benefit of all
– true network society: association of free and equal producers

Let’s become political bloggers!
• Step 1: with ONE partner, come up with a political issue that you both could (however slightly!) imagine pursuing as a theme for a co-authored blog [3 minutes MAX]
• Step 2: figure out who your imagined audience is and how you could use mass self-communication and horizontal networks to work towards raising awareness and/or achieving social change [10 minutes MAX]
• Step 3: apply Fuchs! [10 minutes MAX]a) First discuss the potentiality of your overarching goal.b) Then discuss the likely actuality.c) Consider why this gap exists.
