Dr. Ronja Trischler spricht am 24.04.2024 von 14-16 Uhr auf einer gemeinsamen Veranstaltung des RUSTlab und des SFB 1567 Virtuelle Lebenswelten an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum zum Thema "Replace or repair? Moderating online advice on how to take care of broken things." Ort: Ruhr-Universität Bochum MB 4/165


Replace or repair? For participants in repair initiatives, this is a central question when it comes to giving advice on how to take care of broken things. When this question is posed online – in the hope of quick and location-independent help –, the conditions of its discussion change: instead of perhaps examining the objects in question manually, participants describe and analyse them in written posts or photographs. Importantly for my talk, they also become the subject of moderation, revealing the relevance of practical relationships between those giving and those receiving advice. While moderation is a cultural technique with a long history, online it has become a widespread, often controversial practice, including automated, often invisible processes of ordering and deleting known as content moderation. In my talk I am going to reconstruct moderation practices in an online repair advice group and, on a more theoretical level, explore their embeddedness in the repair practices.
