INSTALL YOURSELVES INTO RELEARN
EVERY EDITION THE SAME STORY. HERE WE ARE, AGAIN. PADS PERSISTENTLY PROMISED US TO SOLVE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS.
BUT WHILE PADS MULTIPLIED FOR THIS PURPOSE, PROBLEMS MULTIPLIED ALONG THE ETHER:
[if links do not work, wait next session to access outerwebz, hopefully]
an inventory of experiences:
- - an experience of break-down
- Not having thought of people arriving without machines
- - an example of a broken tool that works nevertheless
an inventory of absences:
- - an example of a an element you normally find in traditional education that you expect to be missing in relearn
- - latences (translation) -> things that are present but were translated / their medium changed somehow (e.g.: the blackboard into the pad)
a collective glossary:
- - profanation: "The term "profanation" has been proposed to describe the moment in which a tool, knowledge, skill can be put out of its normal functioning, rendered inoperative, and through this can be opened up to other uses, and made again common good. In a sense, it could be considered very similar to a notion of "hacking". source: http://pad.constantvzw.org/p/relearn_thinking_through
- - trinary logic or binary alternative (the neutral) source: http://pad.constantvzw.org/p/trinary
- - what is an infrastructure and how it is related to reproductive tasks and/or caring practices [[taking care]]
- - compare function and efficiency
- - what is good technology
an inventory of questions:
- - "in which way does a file system relate to an office?" source: http://pad.constantvzw.org/p/relearn_2015_proposals
- {- (tapping their own forehead) "We have told you: this place is now a school.
- Q: what makes a school? / What do you mean a school? Where are the janitors? And I didn't hear the bell..."} source: http://pad.constantvzw.org/p/relearn_thinking_through
- - HOW do we call this a school?
- - is Relearn an island of time in between life?
- - did you ever look under your (school)desk?
- - what conforms a "participant"? network of human+tools+knowledge+presence...?
an inventory of tensions:
- - {documentation, memory, temporality
- - expertise, experience, transference
- - tools, practice, affordance, materiality, infrastructure
- - informal/formal/non-formal education, validation
- - collective learning, self-learning
- - conviviality, appropriation, control, hosting
- - dissensus, privilege, empowerment
