"Thus, what and how we do think is evidence for the principles of rationality, what and how we ought to think. This itself is a methodological principle of rationality; call it the Factunorm Principle. We are (implicitly) accepting the Factunorm Principle whenever we try to determine what or how we ought to think. For we must, in that very attempt, think. And unless we can think that what and how we do think there is correct and thus is evidence for what and how we ought to think we cannot determine what or how we ought to think."
Wertheimer 1974, pp. 110-11

To fully explore the intricacies of what's at stake in any single one of these industry-reshaping eruptions would gobble up more hours than a marathon binge-watch of all five seasons of "Breaking Bad." But there's a crucial common thread: In every case, the economic model that currently underpins television (and bankrolls our amazing proliferation of high-quality productions) is under sustained assault. This is happening both from the bottom-up, as so-called cord-cutters seek an à la carte programming future; and from the top down, as telecom companies consolidate near-monopoly control of broadband. In the process, an inevitable transfer of power — from the content creators who make "Mad Men," "Game of Thrones" and "Justified," to the cable and satellite and telephone companies that distribute those TV shows — is underway.

Straightforward classical logic obviously doesn't entirely capture human decision making. Yet it often seems as if something logical exists in our illogic. Wonderful fodder for the arts! Now it turns out, amazingly enough, that human illogic, from a perspective of quantum probability, sometimes may not be so illogical at all. And in certain categories of cases quantum probability provides much more robust predictive power regarding judgment than we can obtain from classical reasoning. Quantum analysis applied to cognition is a brand new field. A very small number of psychologists are doing the work so I feel rather lucky that I was able to talk with Dr. Emmanuel Pothos, a leading theoretician. Sub speciē aeternitātis.

"Certain artworks, albeit unfamiliar, may be so well-matched to an individual's unique makeup that they obtain access to the neural substrates concerned with the self—access which other external stimuli do not get," writes a research team led by Edward Vessel of New York University's Center for Brain Imaging.

Vessel and his colleagues have discovered that the default mode network—a web of brain regions that is active in periods of rest or rumination, but suppressed when we're actively dealing with the world—is stimulated when we encounter certain artworks that resonate with our sense of self.

This activation allows the poem, play, or painting "to interact with the neural processes related to the self, affect them, and possibly even be incorporated into them," the researchers write in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience. "This account is consistent with the modern notion that individuals' taste in art is linked with their sense of identity.

Poetry Center Digital Archive makes available significant portions of early audio recordings from the Poetry Center's American Poetry Archives collection, supplemented by select archival texts and images. New files will be added incrementally as recordings are prepared and as we proceed through the collection from the 1950s onward.

Artists, gamers, designers, historians and critics answer the question that has become emblematic of the clash between technology and culture

In April, Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert posted a blog article entitled "Video games can never be art". Within minutes, the feeding frenzy began. Responses ranged from intellectual objections through to classic online flaming. Many angles were argued, but one viewpoint stood out: that you cannot analyse the art behind video games without having actually played them.

Then Ebert relented a little. In a follow-up piece entitled "OK, kids, play on my lawn", posted in July, he conceded that while his opinion had not changed, he had made his criticisms of video games without experiencing them for himself.

Now it is time to put the matter to people who do have personal experience of the medium. Here game designers, along with a mixed bag of art critics, journalists, academics and historians - all of them avowed gamers - tackle a question that is emblematic of the clash between technology and culture: can video games be art?

In this blog post, sociologist Jason Eastman illustrates how the animated television series South Park can serve as an effective and engaging sociological teaching tool, and he shares four episode-based exercises (each with printable worksheets) that instructors can use to teach the sociological concepts of inequality, socialization, theories of self, and reification. - See more at:
