Hi M, 

Nice to meet you at TSWG, and thanks for the invitation to the fundraiser in Pacifica on Saturday evening. (My Scottish small pipes' gig in Marin went well). It doesn't look like there's a TSWG this Friday, so I'm emailing you from here too. 

What do you think of the first image in Wikivoyage "Surfing" of this woman -

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Surfer_SealBeach-01.jpg

(was - https://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Surfing#/media/File%3ASurfer_SealBeach-01.jpg ) - as emblematic of what you're interested in - https://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Surfing - and wiki surfing-wise too? How could we wiki-create this further in great new ways (and in many languages - an interest of mine)?

Enjoyed your writing here ... http://ladydays.org/2016/10/26/margaret-seelie/ and http://www.jettygirl.com/blog/tag/margaret-seelie/. 

I'm curious how surfing will grow in a realistic virtual earth as this develops, such as in Google Streetview. Check out the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here in Google Streetview/Maps/Earth - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook - where you can "walk" down the road 4 miles to Middletown - but can't yet go into Harbin. This virtual experience will improve toward virtual realism and much more with time probably ... and I'm curious how folks, and women surfers, will come to enjoy surfing in dramatically great new ways, virtually, co-creating surfing life online too.

Singing as surfing ? 

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Thanks for emailing. It was good chatting with you on Friday. My event was great on Sat. hope you had a good set.

Glad you liked the interview on Lady Days and my little surf story. And you checked out my Flickr...I shoot bands, but don't play an instrument. You probably saw photos of my partner's bands on there.

Wikivoyage seems interesting. When I research a story or a topic, I tend to stick to books and libraries so I don't know much about the Wiki-world. The surfing links, to me, don't seem to represent the sport very accurately. Matt Warshaw is a surf historian, but writes from completely male perspective (so not very accurate either, in my opinion).

Are you familiar with vox.com? I'm not, but I read this great article yesterday that is discussing some of shortcomings of new information platforms (maybe similar to wikivoyage?) https://thebaffler.com/salvos/explanation-for-what-johnson The 2 main issues with some platforms that resonated with me in the article are the severe lack of diversity in the writers and content developers and the ways in which opinion is masquerading as fact. I looked up Portugal on Wikivoyage – a place I visited last summer – and found the content to read as bias and opinionated rather than factual and neutral. Not sure if that is what wikivoyage is going for or not?

As for virtual surfing, I don't even like wave pools (a hot new craze in the surfing world), so I doubt I'll be much into the virtual experience. But who knows, I'm open! And I know I could certainly learn much more about, well, virtual everything. So, looking forward to your presentation at TSWG. 

See you next meeting,

M

Hi M, 

Thanks for your email as well. Glad your Saturday event was great!

I'd like for World University and School to create online libraries in all ~8k languages in a realistic virtual earth like Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with TIME SLIDER, so that one will be able to pull books off the shelf from the Free Boston Public Library in the year 1900 and today, for example, and read them. (Google Translate is in 103 languages and newly with Google Neural Machine Translation +) ... and even from within augmented reality around us in a 15' cube as light show eventually. 

I haven't tuned into Wikivoyage very much at all, but WUaS and I are quite Wikipedia-centric focused, especially as it grows with structured data and Wikidata in its 358 languages. I think we'll then begin to see some beneficial developments in Wikivoyage that parallel those we may be seeing in Wikipedia editorially these days. And WUaS donated itself to Wikidata, Wikipedia's database in October 2015, and will emerge newly from there soon-ish. So perhaps your students will be able to help develop Wikivoyage at some point - and re Surfing - as well as WUaS, and even for free CC MIT OCW-centric university degrees. 

WUaS's and Wikipedia's a) volunteer wiki editor focus, as well as b) eventually graduate students at WUaS in all 8 k languages may well help develop editorial diversity at WUaS +. 

Online sports are and have been a big thing ... curious to see how they evolve experience wise along the actual - virtual conversation (which my Harbin book explores re Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin : ) But I'm interested in Surfing emerging from the interesting times in California / Hawaii + in the 1960s / 1970s especially.

Let's start a "Surfing" wiki subject page for open teaching and learning at World University - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects (and to give you an idea of how anyone can create a wiki subject at WUaS with an academic or a creative focus +. For example, see the Watsu wiki subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Watsu_-_water_shiatsu - which started at Harbin) - but perhaps after WUaS moves to the new wiki emerging from Wikidata, and thus in many languages.

See you next meeting. 

Cheers, 

Scott

Wonderful news, Scott—congratulations and I am flattered by your engaging with my work! All the best, Tom

Thanks, Tom, so much for your great "Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human" (Princeton 2008) and your engagement with my book, as well. 

I looked up last July 2015 all the courses I could find that teach your "Coming of Age in SL" and found one at MIT, one from MIT OCW, and one each from Cornell, UC Berkeley and Brown, all of which you'll find here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/07/syzygium-harbin-hot-springs-book.html - plus much more about my Harbin book thematically. My "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book can be read chapter to chapter with yours. And I hope to reach out to the professors above in these regards. Do you know of other syllabi where your CoAiSL is taught? I'd like my book to get onto university syllabi. 

I've also added our chapter 1s to the amazing Pokemon Go Syllabus in GDocs, in week 3, under "theorizing place" - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xYuozfkON-RVZQkr7d1qLPJrCRqN8TkzeDySM-3pzeA/edit?usp=sharing - but these same chapters could be read in terms of the digital and the real, where I examine the virtual and and the actual, as central themes in my book. 

Here's the new bit.ly URL for my academic and researcher-oriented Harbin book - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook (with about 180 photos of Harbin) - where researchers & internet librarians will find the DISCOUNT code.

All the best, Scott

[Taking the whole AoIR list off of this email thread so they don’t get spammed…]

That all sounds great! I don’t know off hand of other syllabi using my book but I know there are a good number. Sorry this is so rushed—I’m in O’Hare airport between flights, heading to Notre Dame to give a talk tomorrow. Congrats once again! All the best, Tom


Not sure how the Notre Dame talk is being announced. There are a few videos on my stuff out there - Drax did a really wonderfully produced one a few months ago - here’s the link! All the best, Tom

Thanks, Tom!

Appreciating your great generativity with regards to digital anthropology!

Can you point please to a recent YouTube or UC video, for example, of a talk of yours incorporating your thinking in CoAiSL, with "Ethnography and Virtual Worlds" and other related publications - and your upcoming talk at Notre Dame?  

Will probably reply to Barry Wellman on the AoIR re his WUaS Universal Translator email as research project (from today) - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - and ways in which ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - as a new method I'm developing will also facilitate an universal translator. Re ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, check out the 36 slides of a talk I gave at UC Berkeley last November - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tAhXFinq8xm8BDFcceoHsNBHJi0wpS0HDFh40PXsQ2I/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000&slide=id.p - also on my Harbin book page - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html.

GraburnAn anthropology of Harbin Hot Springs, virtual Harbin, the 1960s forward, counterculture, virtual worlds and information technology The book's target audiences are undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, information technology social scientists, Internet studies' researchers, academics interested in the "virtual," and people with a fondness for the 1960s. My book comes into conversation with Tom Boellstorff's "Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human" (Princeton 2008), and could be read in academic courses in direct conversation with "Coming of Age in SL." For my next Harbin book, I plan to build a virtual Harbin, ideally in a movie-realistic interactive 3D virtual earth, Google-made, and do actual virtual comparative fieldwork, what I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - as an innovative methodology in Anthropology. I'd like for readers to be able to visit virtual Harbin and have a Harbin experience, in their bathtubs, for example, for the meditative releasing action of the warm waters, - and write ethnographically about this. Naked Harbin is an actual-virtual ethnographic comparison based on extensive field work at actual Harbin Hot Springs, but comes into direct conversation with Boellstorff's "Coming of Age in Second Life," which is based on extensive field work in the 3D interactive virtual world of Second Life. My "Naked Harbin" also examines the significance of making a virtual field site for actual-virtual comparison. After you check in at the gate at Harbin, one resident who has worked there for years often says, "Go play." This ethnography of Harbin Hot Springs in northern California explicitly and theoretically brings together approaches to the comparative study of both the actual and virtual, by developing new methodologies in studying Harbin - as a kind of hippy or Alternative haven from modernity. Through this anthropological book and conceiving of virtual Harbin, you can begin not only to "be there" - to visit Harbin virtually in the text, as it were - but also to revisit the 1960s and its related freedom-seeking movements. Moreover, Harbin Hot Springs' clothing-optionality, spirituality and alternative culture are attractive in mysterious ways. In the way that Margaret Mead's work was theoretical and gained widespread attention at the same time, this book will appeal due to the broad interest in emerging interactive virtual worlds, as well as 1960's informed alternative Harbin's exotic, yet familiar, attractiveness, now mediated digitally. As information technologies and wondrous developments like virtual worlds continue to develop rapidly, I hope to engage you, the reader, further in the conversation about the creativity in countercultural thinking, in virtual worlds, in comparative ethnography, and in the experiences of interacting in this virtual Harbin, even as visitors to actual Harbin enjoy visiting this hot springs' retreat center. - Scott MacLeod http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html Academic Press at World University and School http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html Publication Date: Sep 09 2016 ISBN/EAN13: 0692646132 / 9780692646137 Page Count: 354 Binding Type: US Trade Paper Trim Size: 8.5" x 11" Language: English Color: Full Color Related Categories: Social Science / Anthropology / General

Someone asked:
Can you explain a little about the book? Are you writing about your feelings about Harbin? Did you collect other people's feelings?

And I replied:

My Harbin book is about many many aspects of Harbin and its pools, but kind of about "hippies to the hot springs" from the 1960s and from 1972 when Ish bought the property forward. There's a great poem beginning Chapter 9 on p 274 re wonderful Harbin feelings, and I hope in the virtual Harbin to emerge (in something like Google Street View with time slider, with OpenSim - click on the Harbin gate link here - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - part way down) that you'll and all of us will be able to visit Harbin virtually, soak from home, and share our feelings - and wonderful ones - :)

Hi M,

I should receive my very first two paper copies of my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book ~ http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html ~ to proof later today at a Reed friend's "hippy" house with a residential street address in Berkeley - will probably photograph & post copies of these to this blog entry for today.

Then after proofing, I'll click "approve for distribution" and will get 5 different channels for distribution via CreateSpace / Amazon - the Amazon book page itself will take 5 days, but the others will be quicker, and I earn the most royalties for each copy when people buy this through the CreateSpace eStore ...
