A couple of the most recent messages concern the "inter-medium" nature
of xmca discourse.... which it shares with a lot of email fora (or is
it forum?). We seem to oscillate from one extreme which is informal/
personal and one which is formal/personal. We are from all over the
world and all over the cultural/gender/age/etc mapS so maintaining
the right range of oscillation has its bumpy moments for all of us.
As a multi-generation Californian, I tend to stray over the edge of
the world on the informal/personal side, but whenever I think I
am way out there, someone pops up to let me know I am really
old foggiesh at heart.
Another recent discussion is about cultural-historical activity
theories and Gibsonian theories. Seems like you'll have a lot
to say on that score.
In any and all events, welcome and thanks for that self intro!
