Does anyone have any references for interpretive social science(ish) papers that use public comments (as in a federal register) as data? Or perhaps any methods papers that address using public comments? (Have I asked this already?) TIA!

I downloaded a bunch of comments for a project @nicole_c_nelson and I are working on together... and then set them aside for more than a year now while we followed other strands. So I don't have any methods lit off hand (though Nicole might), but I have some thoughts about their quirks as data sets, and I'm curious what you're running into!

downside of masto's particular set of affordances is I can't figure out who posted this, and who boosted it into my timeline. But thank you both!!

"Lester del Rey... intuited that what millions wanted from a publishing industry urgently optimizing to keep up with capitalism was to escape the modern age into a world where capitalism and industry had never happened. There is magic in that. At least I thought so, as a kid. But there’s also, in del Rey’s vision, a formulaic—let’s face it, industrial, rationalized—conception of culture and a pernicious nostalgia that courts sexism and white supremacy. Today, fantasy is, along with romance, our wildest, most flourishing genre. It might not be this way were it not for Lester del Rey, even if his legacy now is as the wizard so many writers and readers choose to battle against."
