I'm a Duquesne alum who's also interested in online identity/relationships. (It was my dissertation topic in fact - ugh, dissertations)! Anyway, two things: about the friend whose facebook experience seemed to lead, rather than follow his offline experience, you might enjoy Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation - Leswin recommended it to me when I was writing the diss, and I still think about his idea of the hyperreal all the time! Second, I would love to pick your brain about social networking from the therapist's perspective! Give me an email if you like! I really enjoyed reading your post here - keep it up! Hi Amy!

Better to starts with the simple goals that you want to achieve and under each goals are the plans on how you make the goal complete. You need also to trackback your listing whether you have achieved something or not. -Jan This is a way of planning listing you goals in a hierarchical method.

Eventually this style of self-identification becomes mundane, adolescent. I am no longer in a position where I wish to be identified by my list of favorite books or bands. My identity is no longer fluid enough that I get pleasure from rearranging it publicly or posting notes to create a sought-after appearance. Maybe it’s because I’ve found a vocation, or because I’m pretty sure I’m in love to stay, or I’m reaching critical mass of humans I can keep close. Here I am. For better or for worse.

]]> Comment on On Two Experiences of Looking by Amy http://www.amygda7a.com/2006/11/22/on-two-experiences-of-looking/#comment-6 Amy Thu, 23 Nov 2006 05:51:15 +0000 http://www.amygda7a.com/?p=13#comment-6 "Put in parentheses" is a reference to Husserl's phenomenological reduction. It is the process by which one sets aside one's "natural attitude," the habitual way of seeing, in order to allow other modes of seeing. Husserl describes it as Cartesian doubt without actually doubting-- everything is put into a doubtful mode, but rather than demolished, it is simply set aside (bracketed) as one of any number of possibilities. “Put in parentheses” is a reference to Husserl’s phenomenological reduction.
