Bloggers cited in the dissertation
[There are still few things I might fix on this page]
This pages includes references to the people weblogs of whom I cite or discuss in some way in my dissertation. It is here for two purposes. First, as an easy way to jump from the printed dissertation text to the specific weblogs that appear there. Second, as a way to notify bloggers that quotes from their blogs (or links to them) appear in the dissertation text (a version of this page also appears as a blog post to make trackbacks and indexing work better).
If you are the blogger listed here you might want to know that:
- I treat weblogs as a publicly available texts and do not ask permissions for citing them. The reasons for this and other choices in respect to referring to bloggers in my dissertation are discussed in the research ethics section of it.
- If you have a concern about your weblog being cited, I’m happy to share the text where it appears and remove the citation if you have a reason for doing so. This could only be done until the dissertation text is finalised (somewhere end of April-mid May 2009), so if you have a concern it’s the time to act.
My own weblog
Since many of my own weblog posts appear in the dissertation, I do not provide an extensive list here. All references to my weblog are accompanied by the title and the date, which could be used to retrieve them:
- by title: use the search field
- by date: go to blog.mathemagenic.com/year/month/day/ (e.g. blog.mathemagenic.com/2002/06/21/ for 21 June 2002); scroll if there are multiple posts on the page to find the right one
Alternatively, you can also browse cited blog posts per chapter: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7
Weblogs of others
Bloggers are listed in the alphabetical order according to their surnames (blog titles if I couldn’t figure out the name); next to the names I include blogs that (I think) identifies the blogger best at the moment of making this list (March 2009). Titles of the specific posts cited are linked to the pages where I originally found them or, if those were moved, where they could be accessed in March 2009. The list excludes bloggers cited anonymously and those, who’s academic work is cited without discussing their weblogs.
