Tracing the Everyday 'Sitings' of Adolescents on the Internet: a strategic adaptation of ethnography across online and offline spaces (2003, background): “Miller and Slater (2000) argue that the analysis of potential or actual changes in social relations must be situated: while e-mail and other technologies were strongly contiguous for the extension of Trinidadian relationships developed first in kinship, the ‘elective affinity’ of particular…”
Introduction: Sociolinguistics and computer-mediated communication (2006, background): “(Miller and Slater 2000: 14) As with the notions of community and identity, there are various versions of Internet ethnography (see for example papers in Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication), which we might broadly divide into two groups.”
Implications for design (2006, background): “Miller and Slater, for example, understand the Internet in terms of the ways it allows Trinidadian cultural practices to be sustained despite the massive outward migration of peoples from Trinidad; the Internet is a means by which cultural practice operates within a globalized economy.”
Ethnographic Approaches to the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication (2009, background): “Other ethnographers advocate active engagement in the field as a superior data collection strategy (Bell 2001; Miller and Slater 2000).”
The human infrastructure of cyberinfrastructure (2006, background): “If the notion of team dissolves here, then what of the virtual space that brings that team together? We find it useful here to turn to Miller and Slater’s analysis of Internet use [16].”
New ties, old ties and lost ties: the use of the internet in diaspora (2004, background): “4 Compare Miller and Slater (2000), who discuss a similar phenomenon in migrants from Trinidad.”
The Cerebral Subject and the Challenge of Neurodiversity (2009, background): “Are brain metaphors mobilized in the same sense by all self-advocates? Are there different versions of a ‘brain story’ (Martin, 2009)? And how do these stories work in blogs, discussion groups, autobiographies, conferences? What sort of information is being used? Is it drawn from scientific articles”
Globalization or denationalization? (2003, background): “(For a variety of angles, see e.g. Rimmer and Morris-Suzuki, 1999; Poster, 1997; Graham and Aurigi, 1997; Henshall, 2000; Miller and Slater, 2000.)”
Social Interactions Across Media (2004, background): “THE NEED TO VIEW RELATIONSHIPS AS MAINTAINED THROUGH MULTIPLE MEDIA Conceptualizing the internet as a causal monolith makes it easy to imagine that there is a ‘cyberspace’ that exists apart from everyday life rather than integrated into it (e.g. Haythornthwaite and Wellman, 2002; Miller and Slater, ”
HCI and environmental sustainability: the politics of design and the design of politics (2010, background): “Similarly, communication technologies are implicated in reimaginings of the scales upon which we act and at which we are connected [36].”
Artifacts and cultures-of-use in intercultural communication (2003, background): “…social formations, or the genres appropriate for intercultural communication risks becoming yet another argument that succumbs to the reductionism implicit to technological determination on the one hand and of reifying a dualism between agent and structure on the other (Miller & Slater, 2000).”
A vision for technology-mediated support for public participation & assistance in mass emergencies & disasters (2010, background): “Early work in this area was known as digital or virtual ethnography (Jones, 1999; Miller & Slater, 2000; Hine, 2000, 2005), though we must already modernize this methodological orientation to depict real-time search and visualizations of massive data sets that support quantitative and qualitative…”
The Field behind the Screen: Using Netnography for Marketing Research in Online Communities (2002, methodology): “Qualitative methods are particularly useful for revealing the rich symbolic world that underlies needs, desires, meanings, and choice (see, e.g., Levy 1959).”
