Submitted by celine on Mon, 2009-11-16 09:56How is it I am still alive? I’ll tell you I’m alive because there’s a temporary shortage of death. This is said with a grin, which is on the far side of
a longing for normalcy, for an ordinary life.

Submitted by celine on Mon, 2009-11-16 09:54Today, once again, the Enclosures are the common denominator of the proletarian experience across the globe. In the biggest diaspora of the century, on every continent millions are being uprooted from their land, their jobs, their homes through wars, famines, plagues, and the IMF ordered devaluations (the four knights of the modern apocalypse) and scattered to the corners of the globe.

the principle of writing to language.

That the capacity to judge is a specifically political ability in exactly the sense denoted by Kant, namely, the ability to see things not only from one's own point of view but in the perspective of all those who happen to be present; even that judgment may be one of the fundamental abilities of man as a political being insofar as it enables him to orient himself in the public realm, in the common world these are insights that are virtually as old as articulated experience. (...) Therefore taste, insofar as it, like any other judgment, appeals to common sense, is the very opposite of private feelings. In aesthetic no less than in political judgments, a decision is made, and although this decision is always determined by a certain subjectivity, by the simple fact that each person occupies a place of his own from which he looks upon and judges the world, it also derives from the fact that the world itself is an objective datum, something common to all its inhabitants.
(...) At any rate, we may remember what the Romans the first people that took culture seriously the way we do thought a cultivated person ought to be: one who knows how to choose his company among men, among things, among thoughts, in the present as well as in the past.

From The Adventures of Pinocchio, by C. Collodi
To offer support is an act of generosity; it allows and makes provision for something new to occur. Support is about the how rather than the what, the means over the end; it is critical to how things link and work together towards change. A support structure is an invitation.
Relating to specific notions of support, scaffolding is a temporary framework used to support people and material, an obvious visible example of support structures; scaffolding occurs before as well as after the building, or the making of architecture, and exists right against it in an uncomfortable proximity, right next to it but never within, so that it touches and cooperates from a certain exterior or without.

C.2 Examples of Data Handling Techniques
The following flow charts are specific examples of data handling techniques and problem solving organization used by two World Game related projects. The first two are from the first World Game seminar in New York City in 1969; the second set of five is from a Design Science workshop held at the University of Southern California in Feb. of 1971. The charts are illustrations of the exploratory process and events that the participating students went through. They are linear, and hence suffer as the actual explorations were not quite this direct, but they are nevertheless a valuable aid and guideline to the student who wishes to know where to begin or where to go. This is how two groups of individuals did it; another groups’ efforts will of course, be different.
