Self-Construction in Computer Mediated Discourse

Abstract
This chapter presents and illustrates the theoretical and methodological frameworks of a discourse-oriented approach to the study of self-construction in computer-mediated discourse (CMD). It is argued that this approach is suitable for the study of CMD, when the major traces of self are imprinted in discourse – language used in a specific context. Espousing functionalist approaches to discourse analysis which view language resources as the building blocks of human communication the approach foregrounds the process of discursive positioning – a central theoretical construct and a methodological principle. It also shows how micro- and macro-levels of analysis can be integrated in the exploration of self-construction in CMD.

“Coherency” Alternative to the “Singularity”: Coherent Heart Entrainment
Coherence at a global scale does NOT mean that everyone is doing the same thing, that all the parts of a system are acting in the same way at the same time. Human beings—and the organizations of which they are a part—are complex adaptive systems. Ho (2005) notes that the complex activity in globally coherent systems span more than two thirds of the electro-magnetic spectrum, which has 73 known octaves! And, as McCraty & Childre (2010) observe: It can appear at one level of scale that a given system is operating autonomously, yet it is perfectly coordinated within the whole. In living systems, there are micro-level systems, molecular machines, protons and electrons, organs and glands each functioning autonomously, doing very different things at different rates, yet all working together in a complex harmoniously coordinated and synchronized manner.
