Now
Back to the States for family. This is also an act of cultural values, culture being the subject I profess to teach.
Almost finished the final draft of my book. An earlier draft got a foreword by programmer Richard Gabriel and anthropologist Jenny Quillen and had the working title, American Currents: Re-presencing culture and communication in a postdigital age. The book still centers on the work of French thinker Bernard Stiegler, whose work draws on phenomenology, cultural studies (including critique of Americanization), hermeneutics, and digital studies.
The book is now about cultural decodification but does not claim to critique but to tease out and point forwards.
I continue to do action research to develop the courses that I teach and continue to iterate the tools used in class, repurposing old and lighter tools and content sharing systems like wikis and the small web.
The phenomenology and networked learning book with my chapter on the hermeneutics of (cultural) traces has been published. I wrote an encyclopedia entry on Bernard Stiegler which should be forthcoming.
