[Air-l] searching for genre-specific blogs

[inna]

Hi,

I'm also working on a project that requires a collection of 
genre-specific blogs, so I've been struggling with this issue for quite 
a while. So far I'm trying to appropriate some methods from ethnography 
and cyberethnography to guide me. I still work on the methodology, so I 
can't say whether it's successful or not. But for example, Marcus 
article about multi-sited ethnography was particularly insightful to 
think through these issues (Marcus, George E. "Ethnography in/of the 
World System: The Emergence of Multi-Sited Ethnography." Annual Review 
of Anthropology 24 (1995): 95-117). There are other articles as well. 
Please ask your colleague to email me off-list if she is interested in 
exchanging references and ideas.
I'd also be very curious to read what AoIR people think about this issue.
