+
+Session 1: Identity: Finding Your Form Online
+
+Kelly Bergstrom, “A Troll by Any Other Name: Reading Identity on Reddit.com”
+
+— Grandpa Wiggly – turns out not to be an 80 year old man! Instead a college student, who later offered an explanation for why he did it  
+— saw it as interactive fiction; community thought there was some gain oriented motive involved  
+— community reactions: some people really upset; said Grandpa Wiggly was a troll  
+— so what is a troll? Disrupts discussions, offers bad advice, fractures community; Grandpa Wiggly didn’t do any of these, actually brought community together rather than fracturing it  
+— Grandpa Wiggly as lens for studying identity formation; IAmA forum has expectations of transparency  
+— Reddit Internet detectives  
+— does a troll need to know they’re a troll in order to be a troll?  
+— Grandpa Wiggly is back, and no one seems to be upset about it
+
+Yoonmo Sang, “Rethinging ‘Right of Reply’ on the Internet: Striking a Balance Between Competing Interests”
+
+— right of reply’s chilling effects on freedom of the press vs individual’s repetitional rights  
+— current state of right of reply in S. Korea and US  
+— US law supports freedom of press, but not ideal for individuals; right of reply legislation would equalize situation
+
+Nora Madison, “Bi Watchdogs: Patrolling the Borders of (In)visibility”
+
+— sites focusing on bisexual identity challenging boundaries of binary system of gay/straight  
+— legitimacy of bisexual identity is source of contention within LGxxx community  
+— “The New Bisexual”  
+— anxiety about threat of erasure; community members scan press (esp established LG press) for exclusion of bisexuality; campaigning for inclusion of bisexuality in such representations  
+— identity formation online not just about self-definition but also creating visibility
+
+Jennifer Cypher, “Questioning Anonymity in the Blogosphere: A Blogging Cycle of Identity Formation”
+
+— construction of identity among anonymous/pseudonymous (zero comment, zero reader) bloggers  
+— phase 1: identity-in-isolation; phase 2: construction and revelation; phase 3: call and response; phase 4: identity-in-community; phase 5: recognizing a “blogging identity”; phase 6: the potential for choices regarding the blogging identity  
+— choices: bringing together pseudonymous with non-pseudonymous identities  
+— pseudonym + concealment = anonymity? Seems so to some bloggers,ut not really; part of community  
+— sense of anonymous communities?  
+ Seems so to some bloggers,ut not really; part of community  
+— sense of anonymous communities?  
+— is this kind of anonymity sustainable? Depends on how you define sustainability
