[xmca] Peter Smagorinsky on the Psychology of Art



Many of you may be interested in the latest addition to the collection of CHAT videos on vimeo.com:

   http://vimeo.com/14844396

The video is an interview recorded via Skype in Melbourne Australia, with Peter Smagorinsky in Athens, Georgia USA, on Vygotsky's Psychology of Art.

Apologies for the quality of the video at my end, but fortunately, you won't see much of it. The quality of the video and audio at Peter's end is OK.

In a 30-minute interview one can't go too deep, but Peter does a marvellous job of stimulating interest in the topic rather than pontificating, and offers new angles on a number of issues of interest to everyone on this list.

Peter has a paper in an upcoming issue of MCA. I read the paper and this gave us the basis for the interview. This is something anyone of us could do, interviewing an MCA author. Peter's interview is not intended to be at the level of peer reviewed research, but is a great introduction to the topic of the journal article. Future xmca discussions would possibly benefit from such interviews. The whole job is done with Skype (which is free) and Vodburner which you can 'hire' for $10 a month, and includes a somewhat clunky but adequate video editing tool.

Anyone interested in emulating this idea?

Andy
