> “In worlds dominated by makers, representations take the form of an argument, a presentation of just that material that makes the points the maker wants to get across and no more”...“The members of user-dominated worlds, on the other hand, use representations as files, archives to be ransacked for answers to whatever questions any competent user might have in mind and for information to be put to whatever use the users would like.” (Howard Becker, Telling about Society, via Jan Dittrich )
