First, let me say that I would love to participate in this discussion
more than I feel that I can. It seems that I read too carefully (by some
standards, it is clear) the chapter on suffixes and voice in Strunk and
White's Elements of Style. The meat of the discussion I believe is
something that is of immense importance amidst the many (poor)
discussions on the significance (meaning, elision, etc.) of space within
the digitized (digitalizationed, as some might say) culture of
cyber-whatnot. Yet, to obfuscate is merely to reduce. I know quite well
the founders of this list (with the exception of Jordan who, by the way,
I've been told by many in the last 5 years I should meet), and I know
where they are coming from within this context. Yet, the only gist I
could glean from Jordan's introduction is that there is some interest in
'space' and the 'articulations,' 'perspectives,' and 'procedures' (three
terms that, I would argue, deserve greater understanding than their
cavalier presentation revealed) which situate space in some sort of
digitally-mediated cultural construct.
Could a re-introduction please present itself in the philosophese of the
english speaker?
