No Blog is an Island
The Semiotics of Cross-Cultural Blogging in the UnHeard of & McDonald Islands.
The Semiotics of Cross-Cultural Blogging in the UnHeard of & McDonald Islands.
ABSTRACT: The fact that we can construct a model of the world and exist within it has its good points and bad points. Most of us are not even living in the present; we spend most of our time reliving the past or imagining the future. Yet, without any technology, the indigenous peoples of the UnHeard of & McDonald Islands have for centuries been simulating life.
The paper will make reference to the Ralwin postulate, which maintains that we construct a model of ourselves and place it within the model of the world.
The presentation will conclude with a demonstration of WebPaste, a world-class technique for generating academic abstracts, developed at the MacDonald Island Institute.
Now all I have to do is write the paper during the passage to Sydney, at the same time as pulling on the oars. I'll be relying on experience gained some years ago.
