M.20 Info-Ecology, Info-Architecture: Growing and Designing Rhetoric for Critical Technography.

My notes on this session are extremely skimpy. I should have tried to connect with a few people rather than try and cram in this last session. It’s addicting though…moving from session to session and asking what new idea can I expose myself to.

Briefly, Richard Selfe argued for an ecology metaphor for technology sustainability. Michael Salvo argued for an information architecture metaphor and Patricia Sullivan argued that all dynamic metaphors break down at some point. Marilyn Cooper doesn’t like either metaphor because there is a problem with human agency.
