Self learning

Not "self learning" in the sense of distant education 

Self organization. Beehives, stock market. 

Circunstantial knowledge 

The Blackmail of Lack

Prabhat Kumer Jha, Ankur:

"unless it is written, life is not accepted in school records"

"kitabghar (house of books) (...) not where users have a certain membership or a relationship of consumption, the group experience is vital for us" 

"an active reader is one who can build on a given text, using her own imagination and audacity" 

"language of lack" 

Nem

Pois já fazem alguns anos que deixei de acreditar no ceticismo.

Procura-se

Urgentemente:

 

  • memória RAM (128 Mb é bonito mas incomoda)
  • dinheiro pro aluguel de setembro
  • a tal da linha narrativa
  • dinheiro pra fechar o rombo de gap no brasil
  • amanhã sem ressaca
  • dinheiro pra devolver praquele grupo de amigxs que se organizou
  • alguém pra conversar nessa cidade estranha

O lado é outro. Ou o mesmo, o que dá no mesmo.

Re/encontros e as velhas novidades de sempre. A fabricação do consenso chegando do lado de cá do rio. Ou será ainda o outro lado, em disfarce de ilha que bóia como merda? Talvez, a única luta válida seja mesmo a pessoal, mesmo que no caminho se torne coletiva. Não por contexto específico, mas vício semântico.

Também por isso, sigo me repetindo, em graus maiores de complexidade até chegar a um legado suficientemente abstrato pra ser considerado válido. Criando meus próprios mitos. 

Mais velharia

Consegui pôr pra funcionar o wp2drupal. Acabou com acentuação e tudo o mais, mas são várias gerações de blogs, nunca ia conseguir deixar tudo funcionando direito. Resultado é que o conteúdo de praticamente todos os meus blogs tá armazenado aqui nesse drupal, agora. Meio consternador reler sobre projetometafora em 2002, intuir redes pervasivas ou até um pouco de insônia apaixonada, filosofia de boteco ou pura egotrip.

Loose notes on MetaReciclagem

I have been doing more reading in a week than I used to do in a month, and I always keep a notebook (those made of paper, not electronic ones, remember?) in order to make notes. This week I was opening and reading, with no discipline, Negri and Hardt's Multitudes, one book by Paulo Freire and another about him, Deleuze and Guattari's Mille Plateaux vol. 1, Hakim Bey's TAZ, the last year UnCommon ground session reader, and some of the hundreds of PDFs I'm willing to read in the near future. In between, William Gibson's Pattern Recognition and Calvin and Hobbes. All that while reorganizing metareciclagem website and thinking about the two presentations to make in Amsterdam in two weeks. Follow some notes I got from my notebook.

Knowledge Transfer is an illusion. Teaching as an intransitive verb. Teaching as ethics. A political act, always.

The contents of MetaReciclagem? Howtos. People who get together not because they oppose to something, but because of an interest in how things work. Metaphorical learning - opening and tinkering with hardware may be the same as hacking software, as playing with the meaning and ethimology of words, as sharing cooking recipes, as building your own drums, or piling up bricks in one's home or in a community center back in the neighbourhood. All those actions are a continuum. Opening up means deviating, overcoming the invisible and often invented limitations of purpose, lifetime or meaning. There's an ethics behind deviation, one of non-conformity, of inventing and creating things. Treating the world as raw materials.

Still active. New people every week in the mailing list. A 16 yr old skater, a 15 yr old boy on "MetaReciclagem" classes. And they are not treated as n00bies (except when they ask for it ;) leia mais >>
