Abstract

This presentation discusses information searching, information use and critical source analysis conducted by Finnish practitioners of sadomasochism. On one hand, sadomasochists seek out new ideas from sources that might in other contexts such as work-life be seen as non-optimal and inefficient, and on the other, they often try and control their information environments, in order to protect themselves from social stigma. The work is based on ethnographic research conducted by the author.
