Learners do not just receive information only at the time it is given; they absorb information in many different ways, often after the … Continue reading →

“šta ako me tog jutra poželiš
tu sa desne strane
dok se odmaraš
u tuđoj kosi
i pitaš se
zašto si me pustio
na kraju leta
šta ako tog jutra shvatiš
da je svaki san
o meni
nedosanjan
i poželiš da vodimo ljubav bez dodira
i opijamo se
mirisom naših tela
šta ako ti bude hladno
i bude sreda
i budeš alergičan na ljude
i komercijalu
a mene ne bude na pragu
u tvojoj izvrnutoj košulji
sa pramenovima kose preko lica
šoljom toplog čaja u ruci
i širokog osmeha
za tebe
šta ako budeš sam zalivao
crveni suton čašom
jeftinog vina
gledajući u prazan horizont
šta ako kućica na drvetu bude dovršena i poželiš
da se volimo u njoj tada
da mi čitaš poeziju
i hraniš me medom
i cimetom
šta ako mi konačno napišeš pesmu i kreneš
da tražiš odgovore
i šta ako me nađeš
i ugledaš istim očima
dok želiš
svaki delić moje kože
dok sto duhova vrišti
lud sam za tobom
vrati se
ali ti jedan kaže nemoj
i šta ako
mi uputiš tada
stotinu lažnih osmeha
i šupljih pogleda
i pomisliš
da je možda
i ovoga puta
bolje da ćutiš”

On Wednesday 31st May we are planning a #Twalk and you’re invited! Wherever you are. Twalk? A Walk-based Tweetchat. The itinerary is here. But it is somewhere near you. Our purpose is to explore the topic of placemaking and learning … Continue reading →

In this post, I continue to explore the idea of digital placemaking, what it means and why it is helpful for thinking about digital and blended learning spaces. Let’s start with ephemera. Ephemera is anything that is short-lived. Digital ephemera … Continue reading →

Under discussion: Akira 1-6 by Katsuhiro Otomo Pairs well with: Speed Tribes by Karl Taro Greenfeld; Blade Runner; “Alleys of Your Mind” by Cybotron; the charred wreckage of a bombed-out, burned-down Yoshinoya. When I try to explain to people why I moved to Japan, I usually talk about it in terms of repulsion, not attraction. […]

I was recently invited to give a keynote presentation about Student as Producer to a conference at a college in England. A condition of the invitation was that I sign a document agreeing with the proposition that the principles of democracy, … Continue reading →

I am excited to share the pre-print for my article, “Operating Anew: Queering GIS with Good Enough Software.” This piece will be part of the 2018 special issue “Speculative and Constructively Critical GIS,” edited by  Jim Thatcher, Luke R. Bergmann, David O’Sullivan for The Canadian Geographer / Le Géopgraphe Canadien. Disappointed by SSRN’s purchase by Elsevier, I’m only loading this piece to Socarxiv to see if the downloads are comparable and not support a press that has made so much money from and given so little back to the academic community in comparison.

ABSTRACT

In the last decade, conversations around queering of GIScience emerged. Drawing on literature from feminist and queer critical GIS with special attention to the under-examined political economy of GIS, I suggest that the critical project of queering all of GIS, both GIScience and GISystems, requires …

This post explores, summarises and reflects on some of the conversations that took place in #futurehappens Connect:Disconnect. The Future Happens hack model creates a forum for debate about the potential of technology, and the tensions and anxieties relating to its … Continue reading →

The day could not get stormier. My head was pounding as I lived through the toughest minute of the longest day of my life. It all seemed as if the whole universe set out on a mission to conspire against me. The time froze at 3:59PM. Never did I find myself in such despair to...

I had always thought great of those who pursued their dreams and had turned their backs on responsibilities…more importantly societal pressure. But then I remember that they gave up many many other things for that one single goal of theirs. I honestly will tell you, though I would love to live a life carefree forever … More Choosing to not choose

Under discussion: Good-Bye by Yoshihiro Tastumi Pairs well with: The Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka; Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness by Kenzaburo Oe; an antipathy toward modernism; and an 11,000 yen tab at a hostess bar. Yoshihiro Tatsumi is probably the most famous practitioner of gekiga, a form of Japanese comics that […]

In this post I point to some of the literature on placemaking to inform the idea of digital placemaking which I introduced in the previous post and will develop in subsequent posts. O’Rourke and Baldwin (2016, p.103) note the “interconnected … Continue reading →
