Recap

  • What is Coding?
  • The process of converting texts into codes
  • A : B :: Text : Code :: Discourse : Ontology
  • The reduction of A to B is structuralism

Segue

  • Structuralism = Cognitive Science
  • Just as information culture represents text as code, it represents activity as plan
  • Activity = ritual, work, practice = parole, event

Suchman 1983

  • Two representations of work
  • The problem of representation

Suchman 1988, part 1

  • The planning model in AI
  • Plans as reality
  • But plans can't explain action
  • Consciousness and unconsciousness
  • Reversal

Suchman 1988, part 2

  • Reversal
  • Whiteboard as "cultural model" (Colby)

Forsythe 1993

  • Knowledge engineering
  • Representation of work
  • Compare to coding
