Doctorow:

Being 2 places at once

--beginning of codified piece

-chatter brings us together

--similar to Burke (rhetoric is how we coexist-physically separate, brought together through language to end our separation)

---definition of man (Burke)

-"No business model, art form, or practice has the inherent right to exist: it has to fit in the social, technological, and market realities of its day" (xi)

--this is a fascinating statement considering how it influences humans. technological creations are not only extensions of ourselves, but parts of ourselves. They are us-so does that "ring" true to the humans technologies represent? are we only worth our value in a community? how does this notion come into conversation with the idea of artist/academic/intellectual seclusion?

-"technology engables creativity, community, art, and love. Crippling it to save someone's outmodeled business-model is a crime against humanitity" (xi)

Reich:

-sampling appears to be a philosophy for life ecclecticism-Bricollage (Turkle) Spooky:

conception of human seems bound by rational, logical, physical....what about emotional/nurturing, spiritual (Starhawk )

--I find myself returning to my thesis where I illustrated the limitation of Burke's identification theory...where it was in conversation with Starhawk's theory of interconnection (beginning from point of interconnectedness rather than separation of identity/ies)

LATER NOTES:

nothing is original or alone in the conversation
