Shkiwoora, Gohey (杉浦康平) who is a graphic designer in Japan, studied the schematization of human sense in order to have an insight of the world. In general, the schematization of information system is based on expressing time, number, or space. His schematization, however, pursued some things different beyond the elements. He studied how to map…
I’m afraid I can only briefly discuss how Manovich and Stolterman might fit into Phenomenology and Structuralism before confusion completely takes over. And I can only do that much… with a little help from my friends. For instance, I have a hard time labeling Stolterman. But I know that last week he said that if…

For the first time this semester I left a T/Th class session without cognitive overload. Things are coming together, but I’m not sure I’m there yet. Please help fill in the gaps. I’m OK with not knowing where we’re going yet, but I would really like to figure out how we got here. So here’s…
So we were talking about the idea of intersubjectivity being that people form groups/communities by sharing prejudices, horizons, lifeworlds (or similar pieces of a particular facet of their lifeworld) and therefore respond in similar ways to stimuli. We made an important note to the effect that in this case there really is no objectivity. Then…
After Thursday class, I got help from live blog again. It always reminds me. In class, I definitely felt to get about phenomenology, hermeneutics, structuralism and etc… However, while I reviewed my note taking, I realized that I really didn’t accept that yet. I have to find out more about it and I started it…
I’m going to lay claim to the Stolterman and Manovich question with some quick answers that I hope to flesh out over the course of the semester! Stolterman comes from a phenomenological tradition. How do I know this? First, we asked him. Second, a great example comes to mind from his book Design Way in…
Relation of phenomenology to hermeneutics. For the purposes of this class, you can confuse them. Hermeneutics originally started as a exercise in biblical exegesis (very accurate reading, getting it right). Philology emerged as a practice of linguistic study, history of linguistics, etc. Hermeneutics came about as a strategy to “closely read” the Bible in order…
Course Blog – Open or Closed? Either way there will be moderation of comments from outside the course. Perform phenomenological and structural analysis of a series of related fashion magazine ads: at least 3 consecutive photos from a single company. The reason we went with these instead of single ads is that the series helps…
Well let me say first of all I have enjoyed reading all your posts this week and last week. I don’t always have something meaningful to say (that doesn’t stop me a lot of the time, but I DO love how there has been some conversation going on) so I don’t always respond. A recurring…
