Title:

Is Aristotle on Twitter?

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
WIlliam Burdette, The University of Texas at Austin
Description:
We introduce a framework for understanding information overload by reflecting on and updating ancient communicative traditions. Aristotle was an information maven and Cicero a communication connoisseur. These classical communicators designed their speeches around five principles: invention, style, arrangement, memory, and delivery. Contemporary communicators build on this tradition with Web-based technologies.
Questions
Answered:
  1. As our sources of digital information continue to multiply, how do we filter out noise and select high-value information?
  2. How can we better understand existing communication practices and re-think future strategies?
  3. What tools have grounded our communication practices in the past?
  4. How can we remix the ancient past with digital promises?
  5. How are classical traditions being simultaneously applied and updated by contemporary communicators?
  6. How do technologies like social networking (Facebook) and microblogging (Twitter) update the principle of invention?
  7. How do attention economies change the principle of style?
  8. How do digital distribution networks alter the classical principle of delivery?
  9. How does the concept of sampling and remixing change our understanding of arrangement?
  10. How is our concept of memory different from Aristotle and Cicero?

I'm super-excited about all the people who have helped with the creation of this panel. It's kind of funny: Even though I am listed as the organizer, I'm the least qualified, least educated, least published of the bunch. While this sometimes makes me nervous, the more I think about how things happen on the Web, the more I think it's perfectly appropriate that a total novice would organize a panel. It's RL imitating the clickernets. So think of me as the person who made the RL wikipedia-style stub of a panel called Is Aristotle on Twitter? Ask me to fill out the entry, and you'll likely get typoes, misinformation, folk etymologies, apocryphal anecdotes, and other remarkably useless clap-trap. But as a group we will make knowledge, even if it is in a publish-then-filter manner. I'll be Phaedrus to your Socrates, er something.
