Two years in Denmark - denniskim.net - another interesting blog written by foreigner living in Denmark. I get the feeling another Scadinavian-located Blogger cluster is evolving, centered round people like Tinka(Distant Sun), DennisKim,Rasmus/theprint.dk, Ingrid/Dutch in Denmark, Francis/How to learn Swedish in 1000 difficult lessons and others, of which I am not a part (listed, referred to), probably because Im more part of the Norwegian-Humanities & Computing-Academic blogging cluster (was it "media-flavoured Scandinavian Cluster" Mark called it?)...?
- There has been a lot of good writing on blogging lately, sparked by Henry Jenkins' article - but in what little I have read there hasnt been much written on blogging cluster [LK: just decided to reserve the word "community" as descriptive of the general blog movement]. I'd like to read more about it, though. Why does the writer of theprint.dk need to put a comment like this into his "Blogs I read" list: I read these blogs for different reasons, but I only link to them because I want to, not because they link to me.? Is it because he wants to tell us he is not sucking up to a certain loosely-linked cluster? However, by adding this remark, one would at least he acknowledges its existence. Hmmh?? What tells these two clusters apart - if anything? (for the sake of argument I'll here call them the media-people-cluster and the "life in scandinavia"-cluster)? Torill, for instance, seems to have made her way into lists both places - and perhaps we are slowly starting to fuse, in fact. But as is now, is the slight divide due to the fact that we have different styles of writing? Too different interests in life? (or that some of us just have chosen to focus on writing about academic matters and issues related to that rather than on our personal lives??) - Or is it just a question of getting a foothold in the other cluster by starting to refer to - and comment on various peoples writings? - In general, what does it take to become a "member" of a blogg-cluster or community - and does being a member mean being "blogged", or linked, or referred to regularly or being apointed a blogsitter or what? Well, maybe it is just as simply as this: that some people think this blog is boring to read, my writing sucks and my opinions arent interesting. Which there will always be - as I reciprocally find some blogs dull and inane (none of those listed here today, though, and Im not saying this to please either:!): with little time on your hands you are naturally critical about what you read. Probably, my "neurotic" (?) awareness of groupings goes back to my not-so-fun years in primary and secondary school, where I was always struggling to be part of groups which never admitted me into their circles. I think my years as a ph.d.student have in some ways been some of my happiest, as I have finally found people who share the same interests and elements of nerdiness as myself - and perhaps this is part of why I like blogging so much, because it is also part of the maintenance of this community which I feel much at home in....
