		<description><![CDATA[After two wonderful years in Belgium and despite falling a little bit in love with Leuven the time came to come back to the UK to be closer to family, friends and other loved ones. So I&#8217;m stepping away from academia and trying my hand at something very different and launching a company called Vintage Twists! Vintage Twists is a brand new venture for me, selling vintage style clothing, lingerie and accessories online. The online shop brings together new retro style clothing from around the world into a one stop shop where you can get an entire outfit from shapewear and stockings, to dress and earrings. We are stocking great designs such as the Classic Retro Dress pictured here from Sweden&#8217;s Miss Candyfloss, the wonderfully tailored printed frocks from the UK&#8217;s Limb Clothing, along with handpicked dresses and separates straight from Heartbreaker Fashion in the USA. So whether you are looking for the ideal pencil skirt, a modern take on a 50s-style dress, a sexy piece of corset style lingerie, or a fun piece of kitsch jewellery, drop by and pay use a visit. You can also keep up to date on a new products and special officers via our Facebook page and Twitter. dtsv.dtse_post_782_permalink = 'http://madebyjase.com/the-future-is-vintage-twists/'; dtsv.dtse_post_782_title = [...]]]></description>

It has often adopted a priori assumptions that consumers of pirated goods are &#8216;deviant&#8217;, &#8216;unethical&#8217; or demonstrate consumer &#8216;misbehaviour&#8217;. Little work has yet approached piracy from an ethically neutral, bottom up, perspective and explored it through established literatures on routine consumption, everyday practice, and consumer engagement with cultural media and new technologies. Quantitative research on piracy has demonstrated that demand for cultural goods &#8211; such as music, videogames and films &#8211; parallels that of consumption of legal versions of those goods. Moreover, research has shown that consumers of illicit downloads are also the very same people who purchase legitimate digital goods in significant quantities. In other words, piracy is profoundly linked to the ‘doing’ and ‘experiencing’ of other forms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following on from my posting about Under the Mask 2011 and the publishing of the slides from my presentation there I&#8217;ve managed to finish a written draft of the paper I presented as the academic keynote speaker. I&#8217;d been asked by a number of people at the conference (and those following the Twitter feed) for a copy of it so in an attempt to get it out there as soon as possible here it is. I am sure there are still plenty of typos and other signs of rapid workmanship but it gives a flavour of the points I was making. Basically the paper looks at differences in the use of the terms &#8216;gamer&#8217; and player&#8217; both in the academic literatures and amongst gamers. Further, it explores the potential for using Twitter to begin to unpack what it means to be &#8216;a gamer&#8217; and how this category is administered by gamers themselves.  It argues that there is utility in developing research which regards gaming as a practice and that this offers a broader perspective than is povided by focus on play and the magic circle. I hope to revise the paper over the summer so comments on it before then will be welcomed. &#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of June I was given the opportunity to give the academic keynote address at the annual conference &#8216;Under the Mask: Perspective on the Gamer&#8216; at the University of Bedfordshire in Luton. This was a really enjoyable event to go to &#8211; and indeed, my first games conference for some time. It was great to see that while there was an enthusiasm for playing games amongst the delegates, the work presented successfully worked at placing gaming within a broader cultural context. As the events organiser, Alison Gazzard had brought together an engaging mix of people with some presentation highlights for me from Carolyn Jong, Ewan Kirkland, Steven Boyer, Souvik Mukherjee, Ashley Brown, Astrid Ensslin and the BAFTA sponsored keynote, Tadhg Kelly. This was a great opportunity for me to develop a few ideas on what being a gamer actually means and how it is different from being someone who plays games. The presentation I gave, &#8216;Finding Gamers in 140 Characters: Talk of Games on Twitter&#8216;, started by looking at differences in the use of &#8216;gamer&#8217; and &#8216;player&#8217; in the academic literature before turning to gamers themselves to see how the terms are used.  This is did through Tweets about &#8216;Portal 2&#8216; before [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently invited to do some training on qualitative research methods for PhD candidates across the social sciences at the Catholic University of Leuven. The modules took place across two days on consecutive weeks where the the students spent the whole day thinking about their approach to qualitative research, developing their research questions and learning how to communicate and discuss their research. The course is based heavily on group and individual work rather tan just talk-and-talk so not necessarily a set of presentations for those looking for a more prescriptive overview of different methods and theory.

The workshop will take place at The Catholic University of Leuven between Sunday 17th April and Tuesday 19th April, 2011. Bringing researchers from a range of social science disciplines the workshop aims to develop theoretical and methodological perspectives to examine consumer behaviour, practices and understandings to investigate a phenomenon usually framed as deviant. Presentations will be organised under four themes. Each of these thematic sessions will last for two hours and feature several presentations each of which is followed by time for individual questions. A rapporteur will respond to each session in order to identify key issues and questions raised by the presentations and suggest questions to enable discussion, synthesis and highlight forward-looking research agendas and objectives.

		<description><![CDATA[Based on a chapter I&#8217;m currently finishing for a book on the morality and digital games I&#8217;ve recently been asked to present on games and moral panics. The first was a research seminar at The Faculty of Education at Anglia Ruskin University and more recently at the Research Group for Media &#38; ICT (MICT) at the University of Ghent. The slides for both of these are now available on my Slideshare account for viewing and download. There is obviously some overlap between the two presentations &#8211; but the slides from Ghent are probably more understandable on their own and give a better overview of Stan Cohen&#8217;s Folk Devils and Moral Panics. Additionally they have the video I used from YouTube embedded in them! It&#8217;s great to be invited to present at places where the audience and organisers are enthusiastic and welcoming. Even more so when you get to go out for a nice meal and a couple of drinks with them afterwards. Bring on more speaking invitations! Update: The presentation below has been featured on the Slideshare Education page! Update 2: The presentation below has been featured on the Slideshare homepage! I am feeling quite (or virtually) famous. Moral Panics [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have secured funding from the last European Science Foundation&#8217;s Exploratory Workshop competition for a workshop on piracy. &#8216;Consuming the Illegal: Situating Digital Piracy in Everyday Experience&#8217; is planned to take place at The Catholic University of Leuven between Sunday 17th April and Tuesday 19th April, 2011. The workshop will include contributions from Fiona Macmillan, David Wall and Majid Yar, placing internet piracy within a context of research on consumption and everyday practice. Bringing researchers from a range of social science disciplines the workshop aims to develop theoretical and methodological perspectives to examine consumer behaviour, practices and understandings to investigate a phenomenon usually framed as deviant. With lightning presentations, formal speeches, along with rapporteur and participant discussion it seeks to build a foundation for future research. Participation in the workshop is limited and by invitation, but if you have any questions about the event, please contact me. dtsv.dtse_post_579_permalink = 'http://madebyjase.com/esf-exploratory-workshop-on-consuming-the-illegal/'; dtsv.dtse_post_579_title = 'ESF Exploratory Workshop on Consuming the Illegal';]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As part of my research on files sharing, downloading and piracy I&#8217;m starting to plans a series of interviews. The first batch of these will be with those on the piracy side of of the intellectual property debate. I&#8217;m looking for a range of pirates happy to talk to me about their downloading, views of the legality and ethics of file sharing and the everyday nuts and bolts of what they download and how it fits it with their consumption of films, software, music and books in general. So whether you are a casual file sharer or user of bitTorrent or file hosting services such as Netload or Fileserve; a politically active member of a Pirate Party; or an active member of the scene I&#8217;d be very interested in talking with you. I&#8217;m hoping to do as many interviews as I can in person so I especially welcome people based in the UK or Belgium to contact me in the first instance. Later, I will be looking to do remote interviews which with those people I can&#8217;t meet up with or who would prefer to keep their contact strictly virtual. Of course, anything that I use in publications or conference [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Image by smiling_da_vinci via Flickr] The blog, &#8216;Future of Copyright&#8217;, is an interesting blog for the discussion of developments in intellectual property and they recently came over to Leuven to interview me and the results can be seen on their web site (and here in Dutch). I think they did a rigourous job in putting forward what I had to say and am pretty sure the things I am not to certain with are more about me not being clear enough in my public engagement rather than any weakness in the attention of the Wouter Schilpzand, the article&#8217;s author. As is so often the case with these things, I think the comments very interesting. I should really use comments on blogs as the basis for a lecture of poststructuralism and encoding/decoding one day. dtsv.dtse_post_519_permalink = 'http://madebyjase.com/interview-for-future-of-copyright/'; dtsv.dtse_post_519_title = 'Interview for ‘Future of Copyright’';]]></description>
