Cybernetics

  • Read something by Wiener, e.g. "Rigidity and Learning" in The Human Use of Human Beings.
  • Pay much more attention to learning
  • Connect learning and evolution early on
  • Read only two essays by Bateson, on art and learning
  • Read only Rapport 1971
  • For L-S 1955, read only the middle -- exclude the set up (requires knowledge of history of anth) and the Zuni stuff (way too complicated)

Postmodernity

  • Put Lyotard before Suchman, et al. → the latter follow closely the sporit of his recommendations
  • Emphasize cyberpunk ... de Certeu?
  • Focus on Community -- have students read Rheigolds, The Virtual Community
