In that case then let's do this piece by Dourish and then also read "database as a symbolic form" by lev manovich.
I would like to return to the post colonial pieces though.
I am thinking postcoloniality should be a theme for our reading group.

Thanks, Aakash!
I vote for the "shifting materialities" piece. Please feel free to disagree. I am biased because I have more familiarity with Lily's postcolonial pieces.

I propose we read, one of the following
No SQL: The shifting materialities of Database Technologies by Paul Dourish
http://computationalculture.net/2014/11/09/no-sql-the-shifting-materialities...
or
Kavita Philip, Lily Irani
Post Colonial Computing: A Tactical Survey http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0162243910389594
OR/And
Irani, Philip et al Postcolonial Computing: A Lens on Design and Development (http://www.dourish.com/publications/2010/chi2010-postcolonial.pdf). This article might be more relevant though. But let us do the post-colonial computing articles and we could drop NoSQL for now for November 4.
I think before we start reading, it may be helpful to pick on on keywords, themes we like to focus so that we can mobilise material around a theme and develop a working understanding of the literature.

Hi Group,
We are skipping this Wednesday's group meeting since none of us have proposed to share something, but we will resume from the next week.
Thanks, Ishtiaque
