Across a number of years, Research in Drama Education has published a wide range of essays which focus on walking. Given the increasing visibility of walking as a field of practice and the vitality of interdisciplinary scholarship which centres walking, a dedicated edition on the subject felt overdue. As the pieces shared in this edition demonstrate, walking as a mobile, situated and relational method of applied critical practice harbours exploration, criticality, and activism.

Improvised Life 2024-11-27T01:56:29+00:00 https://improvisedlife.com/2021/10/19/kurt-vonnegut-we-are-here-on-earth-to-fart-around/ robertogrecoI work at home, and if I wanted to, I could have a computer right by my bed, and I’d never have to leave it. But I use a typewriter, and afterwards I mark up the pages with a pencil. Then I call up this woman named Carol out in Woodstock and say, “Are you still doing typing?” Sure she is, and her husband is trying to track bluebirds out there and not having much luck, and so we chitchat back and forth, and I say, “OK, I’ll send you the pages.” Then I’m going down the steps, and my wife calls up, “Where are you going?” I say, “Well, I’m going to go buy an envelope.” And she says, “You’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in a closet.” And I say, “Hush.” So I go down the steps here, and I go out to this newsstand across the street where they sell magazines and lottery tickets and stationery. I have to get in line because there are people buying candy and all that sort of thing, and I talk to them. The woman behind the counter has a jewel between her eyes, and when it’s my turn, I ask her if there have been any big winners lately. I get my envelope and seal it up and go to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of 47th Street and 2nd Avenue, where I’m secretly in love with the woman behind the counter. I keep absolutely poker-faced; I never let her know how I feel about her. One time I had my pocket picked in there and got to meet a cop and tell him about it. Anyway, I address the envelope to Carol in Woodstock. I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home. And I’ve had a hell of a good time. And I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different. Electronic communities build nothing. You wind up with nothing. We’re dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go do something. [Gets up and dances a jig.] We love the tiny riches Vonnegut encounters in the simple mission of buying an envelope, a BIG reminder of the wonders to be had from occasionally, regularly, forsaking digital for analog and slowing down to human speed. (And for doing things that are not obviously productive.) It occurs to us that these are the very things many of us have missed so much during the long Covid lockdown: small, meaningful exchanges with other human beings, in person. We didn’t realize how much they mattered until they disappeared. Vonnegut spoke those words 25 years ago and only got one thing wrong: “Electronic communities build nothing.” In fact, they can build A LOT that is tangible, useful, heartening. He imparts some serious wisdom: It is in “farting around” that we discover and fuel a wealth of good things, including our natural creative expression. We’re dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go do something."

Christopher Butler 2023-07-09T19:58:31+00:00 https://www.chrbutler.com/personal-machines-and-portable-worlds robertogreco“My book is so much about how technology dictates culture. The devices that we use aren’t just accessories to culture or windows that we consume things through; they are collaborators, gateways, and molds…the idea of a personal computer had to be invented, manufactured, and marketed. We had to imagine computers as personal machines.” This is an important point. We could live in a world where computing is a public works — where terminals to central processing work like telephones used to. You can pick them up or put them down, but nothing inside of them is yours. But we don’t live in that world. As soon as the first computer booted up in the first home, the computer became a personal object. And when an object becomes personal, it is difficult to leave it behind. We want it with us. Perhaps that one thing — a simple desire for a personal machine — set us on the course we have followed since. Not Moore’s Law, not Capitalism, but personhood. Later, in the same post, Chayka writes of the Palm Pilot — an early attempt at portable computing — that, despite it not providing much in the way of “fun” features for a kid, there was still an “ineffable appeal to holding a gateway to a digital world in your hand.” A world. There’s that word again. Why a world? There is a sense of dimensional transcendence to computers. As C.S. Lewis wrote of the wardrobe, “It’s inside is bigger than its outside.” In the early days of mobile computing, it was hard to not compare the capaciousness of a computer you could carry with you to something like a book. Of both you could say their insides were bigger than their outsides, but when it came to information, you’d have to settle for figurative capaciousness in a book; their actual contents are literally cover to cover. A digital machine’s contents are an entirely different thing. In the time of the Palm Pilot, a tiny door to a vast digital world was more powerful as an idea than a tool. The digital world just wasn’t as big back then as it is now. But to Chayka’s first point, we built the digital world using these little devices that didn’t do very much. We made it worth the journey. And meanwhile, the object was our companion, and inside was a tiny, personal digital world — our notes, our messages, our few digital texts. It was not much, but it was ours." ... "Many of the examples I’ve looked at so far align with my ideas of what makes a machine personal because they were designed with limitations imposed upon them, and many of the examples I’ve discussed that no longer feel personal have been designed to surpass those limitations. If machines were designed to be more personal, we’d have very different machines. Sometimes it feels like it is simply a matter of whether a machine is connected to the internet or not. But of course it’s more than that. It’s as much about what we do with our machines as it is about what they were designed to do. I think we can still experience the personal machine by choosing to experience a machine that way. In a way, the continued popularity of vinyl is a good example of this. For the same price as a single record, you can get several months of access to more music than you could ever hear in that time. Still, some people choose records over digital files. It’s too easy to dismiss this as an affectation. It’s a choice to experience music in a particular way. It’s also a choice of a personal machine — a record player rather than a phone. One benefit of personal technology reaching the maturity it has is the abundance of choices. It may seem like you must use an iPhone — perhaps everyone you know and care about is group messaging with iMessage — but you can choose something else. Every choice has benefits and costs. Ten years ago, I chose to leave Facebook. The benefits were many; the costs were not having easy access to where people I cared about shared information I wanted to know. A few years ago, I stopped using an e-reader — I had used a Kindle, and then a Kobo, both great machines. The cost was no longer being able to send articles from the web to my machine and reading them, as well as books, in bed. The benefit was not having too many choices in front of me when I just want to read one thing. I went back to the printed book. You could say that’s as much of an affectation in 2023 as playing a vinyl record. Maybe. But it’s a choice. I haven’t owned a laptop for many years. My primary machine is a Mac Mini set up in my home office. The cost is I can’t work from my couch or the local coffee shop. The benefit is I have some separation in my life between work and not work. For me, these choices turn using the same machines everyone uses into a more personal experience." ... "I also notice that when I look at these older machines and the old media they use, I often find myself feeling like I’m looking at a door to a world. I look at a book — there’s a world. Every playable disc in our house — each a world. Once you become accustomed to worldspotting, you can see them in anything. Every object is a world. In the World; of the Worlds Perhaps the days of personal machines are over. Maybe the complexities that Mau and his cohort wrote about are not safely reducible. Maybe we can’t decomplexify the world of things. Maybe. And if we can, I wouldn’t dare imagine it could happen quickly. But if we can, where do we start? What do we look at? What do we use again, despite there being sleeker, faster, frictionless options available? What limits do we embrace so that we can re-balance the human with the machine? I have spent the last few years slowly disconnecting in various ways. I’ve chosen to use things that only do a part of what readily available alternatives do and more. I’ve chosen to stop using some things altogether. I have found that these choices have enhanced my experiences because they’ve supported true insight; they’ve helped me be more aware of what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and who I am becoming. I have found that they change the world because they change my world. Jung said that in each of us is another. I think that in each of us is another world. A good personal machine reveals that world and helps us shape it."]]> christopherbutler whatisacomputer porability computers computing objects 2023 personal personalmachines machines gadgets communication expression imagination toys technology laptops smartphones phones purpose utility entertainment infinitude devices audiencesofone portals identity exploration legendofzelda zelda worldbuilding brucemau massivechange complexity institutewithoutboundaries potential thoreau simplicity human humans balance invention creation distraction attention waste want voyeurism kylechayka personhood palmpilot capitalism mooreslaw worlds companions maremecum vademecum designfiction sciencefiction scifi projectara robinsloan marydoriarussell quantumleap limitations constraints choice kindle kobo iphone tradeoffs limits facebook disconnecting carljung jung https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:8225eb3c6c52/ How to wander | Psyche Guides 2023-04-28T16:52:10+00:00 https://psyche.co/guides/how-to-wander-in-a-world-that-values-purpose robertogrecowandering walking 2023 unschooling deschooling slow nature situationist drifting flaneur derive senses multisensory sensing compliance freedom memory place curiosity flâneurs flaneurs flâneur dérive wellbeing happiness attention thinking thoreau rousseau rebeccasolnit thichnhathanh wendellberry travel exploration exploring sensory walterbenjamin baudelaire surrealism dada ellenmueller art pragmatism well-being drift https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:032c5f8214bc/ Walking Zelda — Ridgeline issue 157 2023-03-08T00:26:19+00:00 https://craigmod.com/ridgeline/157/ robertogrecocraigmod walking zelda videogames computers computing 2023 childhood exploration japan adventure maps mapping gaming games hyrule nintendo shigerumiyamoto takashitezuka keijiterui kyoto https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f574d1a55ba1/ Disciplines That Influenced Watchmaking – A COLLECTED MAN 2022-07-16T01:03:37+00:00 https://www.acollectedman.com/blogs/journal/disciplines-influenced-watchmaking robertogreco watches watchmaking 2022 time clocks history craft accuracy exploration navigation precision fashion diving sports aviation flight astronomy matellurgy materials motoring cars organization military war divewatches rajadityachaudhuri travel warfare panerai jasonheaton richardmille augusteverneuil physics stephenmcdonnell mb&f warrenmarrison josephhorton quartz williamhamiltonshortt schortt-synchronome rolex christianhuygens johnharrison johnarnold thomasearnshaw louisberthoud wwi ww1 dirtydozen longines philipvanhornweems weems raf royalairforce jacquescousteau émilegagnan jean-jacquesfiechter aqualung robertmaloubier blancpain zodiac comex omega felipemassa autoracing f1 bubbawatson yohanblake rafaelnadal petermannbedat gaëlpetermann acollectedman raúlpagès maxbüsser maximilianbüsser https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e56022b5ea8e/ HODINKEE's Jack Forster on why he's a lifelong watch lover 2022-02-12T17:24:26+00:00 https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a-love-letter-to-watches robertogreco jackforster watches writing howwewrite generalists 2022 learning physics materials luxury art astronomy navigation time calendars curiosity humans humanity history historyofart chemistry science nuclearphysics timekeeping franch switzerland japan philippedufour maxbüsser fabrication craft craftmanship engraving preciousmetals silversmithing culture gps exploration chronometers thermodynamics galileo canon watchcanon maximilianbüsser mb&f https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:5b850c0bbe41/ Transcript: Ezra Klein Interviews Alison Gopnik -

Becker, J.D., Ph.D. 2018-06-09T21:20:10+00:00 http://www.jonbecker.net/are-we-overthinking-general-education/ robertogreco@gsiemens I seriously want to teach a course where all we do is read and discuss @brainpicker and @Longreads. ] Imagine this learning experience: 1 faculty member with 20-25 students just reading and discussing the Longreads Weekly Top 5. They’d meet once a week, in a meeting room or a coffee shop or outside on a lawn or in the forest; it doesn’t matter. And they’d just talk about what they learned. And maybe they’d blog about it so they could expand their discussion beyond the designated class time and space and could get others outside the class to weigh in. That’s it; that’s the whole instructional design. No predetermined curriculum; very little by way of planning. Learning outcomes? How about curiosity, wonder, critical thinking? Those are your “learning outcomes.” I’d bet students would learn more by reading and deeply discussing those 5 articles each week than they would in most other tightly-designed, pre-packaged curriculum-driven course. I would also love to involve students in a learning experience built around food shows like Alton Brown’s Good Eats. Seriously. Watch just the first few minutes of this episode. In just the first 3+ minutes, we get history (information about the Ottoman Empire), science (cooking and surface area), and math (computing surface area). In a show about kabobs. [embedded video: "Good Eats S09E2 Dis-Kabob-Ulated" https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5skv9x ] What if general education was more like this? What if students read Longreads and watched episodes of Good Eats as part of an effort around interdisciplinary studies? And then there’s Anthony Bourdain. To me, Parts Unknown was, at its heart, educational media. I’m not from West Virginia like Craig Calcaterra (see below) is. But, I spent a lot of time in that state doing field research at the end of the 20th century. When I watched the episode of Parts Unknown that Calcaterra shares, I felt like Bourdain had really captured what I had come to know about the state and then some. Watch the episode and tell me that you didn’t learn a ton. The way Bourdain juxtaposes New York City and his fellow New Yorkers with the “existential enemy” in West Virginia is classic Bourdain." [embedded tweet: https://twitter.com/craigcalcaterra/status/1005077364131422208
Anthony Bourdain went to West Virginia last year. In one hour he did way better capturing my home state than 1,000 poverty porn tourist journalists with pre-written stories parachuting in from coastal publications have ever done. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6inwh4
] Parts Unknown is an interdisciplinary curriculum. It is about culture, food, history, politics, economics, etc. It’s about people. [embedded tweet: https://twitter.com/ablington/status/1005056496609169409
Anthony Bourdain had one of the only shows on tv that tried with all its might to teach Americans not to be scared of other people.
] And isn’t that what general education is? Replace the word “travel” with the word “learning” in the following quote from Anthony Bourdain. [embedded tweet: https://twitter.com/Tribeca/status/1005073364531269633
“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you... You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” — Anthony Bourdain #RIP

It must aspire to ignore Link. Zelda has so far resisted the urge to lavish choice on the player and respond to his every whim, but it follows a similar spirit of indulgence in its loving details, its carefully crafted adventure that reeks of quality and just-for-you-ness. But a world is not for you. A world needs a substance, an independence, a sense that it doesn’t just disappear when you turn around (even if it kinda does). It needs architecture, not level design with themed wallpaper, and environments with their own ecosystems (which were doing just fine before you showed up). Every location can’t be plagued with false crises only you can solve, grist for the storymill. It’s easy to mistake Thompson’s assertion that “Hyrule must become more indifferent to the player” for an assertion that game developers shouldn’t care about the player or shouldn’t guide the player toward their ultimate vision. What it means is that the guides must be a natural part of the world, and the world, like Miyamoto’s cave, must simply exist. If a world is independent and self-sufficient, so are its inhabitants. If every part of a world exists only for the player, both the world and the hero will feel artificial. Nintendo wasn’t the only developer to lose sight of that cave in Kyoto. All game creators must control the player’s experience to a degree, and it’s easy to take it too far—this is particularly true of large studios with bigger budgets that they have to recoup from audiences that include many casual players. Designers often mistake intentionality for good game design: We think that a cave must have a treasure chest in it, and if there’s a treasure chest it must be guarded by a monster, and if there’s treasure in the cave, then the player must find it, and if the player must find it, then there has to be a map that leads the player to the cave. That feels like good design because we took the time to plan it out and in the end the player did what we expected. But it doesn’t guarantee that the player will feel like they’re on a true adventure, making genuine discoveries. Creating Spelunky was the perfect project to help me think about what a true adventure meant to me. Working by myself on a small freeware game made it easier to focus on my personal vision instead of what other people wanted. Using Game Maker allowed me to focus on game design rather than technology. And then there was the randomization of the levels, which made it impossible to fully control the player’s experience.
