Thank you Hector, for your generously bilingual post and also for your
suggestions on how we might 'prevent collapse':
>>May we think about trying to prevent collapse by developing, say,
sub-categories or sub/tangential interests where we might work, converse,
collaborate as apprentices to each other, another of Lévy's ideas? Art and
technology? Technology and democracy? Writing and blogs? Anything?
I've been thinking about this today as I read the posts coming in. My sense
is that the way to go is rather than move into subcategories so early, we
should experiment with clustering around specific questions and addressing
them from our own viewpoints. Levy's idea of being apprentices to each other
(I'm unfamiliar with this, please do say more) sounds a possible approach.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm searching for an interdisciplinary
language for us to use together, rather than splintering or filtering. It
would be hard work and sometimes frustrating, but does it appeal?
One way I have considered, and indeed I already set up an account for this a
couple of weeks ago but couldn't decide whether or not to use it, is to
attempt a shared del.icio.us bibliography. What do you think? I will send
details separately and perhaps we can see if it will take off.
Best
Sue
