danah blogs enthusiastically about her time in Austria being a judge for Prix Ars Electronica. Apparently, the discussion of what constitutes a community was vibrant and informed by a sense of the differences in the world. A snipppet: We had a long conversation about what it means to think about two axes - the process of giving people access and the process of allowing people to make their voices heard. So much of what we considered sat in this narrative. We talked about technologies themselves vs. the communities that take the technologies to a newer, deeper level. We talked about work from around the world that fit into so many different cultural contexts with so many different languages. Posted

Pardon my rudeness (and I'm sure it was intended to be a meaningful and inclusiveness-facilitating quote) but to a non-American that statement reads kinda like "spot the American in the crowd, away from home experiencing other people, languages and points of view while talking about the internet".
I know danah's work and thought is deeper and broader than that ... just noticed my reaction after reading the quote a second time.
