categories? again?
aybalas question about whether blogs can be catergorized makes me wonder, should they be?
lets think about it, everything we do and see in the 'real' world, we find the need to categorize, to fit into boxes. be it someone we see or something we experience, we invariably feel the need to assign a space to it in our minds. what we dont realize however, is that part of that same process is putting ourselves into a box. or actually, putting pieces of ourself into different boxes and choosing which to put on display when.
and from what i gathered in class, most people seem to agree that blogs are an escape, of sorts from this world of labels. online, we can be who we want to be, and we can talk about things that our real to us, be it about our lives or politics or the economy. whether or not we chose to be anonymous, we are separated from the world in which we live everyday.
so why categorize blogs and simultaneously drag them into this 'real' world?
