Dear All,
1-
2021
CoR Year-End Reflection
Back in December 2020
we had an Club of Remy Year-End Conversation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYkMIirHraM,
subtitled as “My TIU – Topics Important Urgent – of 2021) It is now time for
our members to revisit what we had discussed there and perhaps share your
updates/progresses while the year 2021 is approaching the end? Please revisit this video to check what you
had said in it… and bring us your new thoughts after one year. This is to work our talk in cybernetics –
doing some “feedback” or “reflective thinking” as I mentioned in my little taxonomy
of system thinking, where reflective thinking sits on the top above all other
types.
In addition to correcting
what we previously thought wrong (negative feedback) or adding more of what we
got right (positive feedback), I have a suggestion that we start collecting a
text-book-level Contemporary Social Examples of Cybernetics Principles/Laws, to
answer a good question raised by Ben Taylor recently: “What ever happened to
cybernetics? (Is cybernetics a dead movement?)” I hope that our members would
and could contribute a good list of examples, hopefully, to give Ben a positive
answer. This might also include our recent email discussions about the new
applications of VSM (Jonathan), new applications of Autopoiesis (Maurice), and
the new analysis on language (Klaus, Lou, Larry, Joe in the coming session).
So please let me
know if you would like to speak (we did one slide for each participants last
year) on this 2021 Year-End Conversation. If we have more than three
participants we will do it, probably on December 1st, Wednesday.
2- Book-Reading Group – Loet Leydesdorff: The Evolutionary Dynamics of Discursive Knowledge
From time to time
the Club of Remy facilitates the emergence of Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
Before we had fostered co-authoring groups, a start-up company, and now we have
a “slow-read” book group facilitated by Jaime Hendrickx and Mark Johnson. Here
is the formal invitation from this group:
---
You are cordially invited to join the slow-read/discussion of The Evolutionary Dynamics of Discursive Knowledge, the latest book by Loet Leydesdorff, freely available via Open Access. The book provides an introduction to the connections between systems theory, evolutionary theory, sociology, STS, communication theory, and cybernetics and its objective is to facilitate interdisciplinary exchange. We will read and discuss about one chapter each month. Scroll down for the provisional schedule.
The book discussion will take place via ZOOM on the third Wednesday of every month, starting at 5pm CET (4pm GMT, 11am EST, 8am PST(**)). The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 15, 2021. Each ZOOM meeting, three scholars will give a brief commentary on the chapter scheduled for that day, followed by an interactive discussion. Each session will last for about two hours.
Please share this
email with your networks, especially if you know someone else who might be
interested in commenting. Commentaries in the form of a video
presentation (maximum 20 minutes) are welcomed, especially from those who
cannot join the ZOOM meetings due to international time zone differences. If
you would like to act as a commentator for any of the chapters (max 20 minutes, max 7 PPT slides),
please get in touch with one of the event organizers (johns...@gmail.com
or jaimi....@gmail.com) to finalize the details.
