American Society for Cybernetics (ASC)ASC “Listening Conference 2011
Article Type: News, conferences and technical reports From: Kybernetes, Volume 40, Issue 3/4
The 2011 conference of American Society for Cybernetics is scheduled for 9-13 August, in Richmond, Indiana. The theme, “Listening”, and the organisation grew out of last year’s conference in Troy. It is hoped it will interest people in the listening professions, for instance therapists, managers, educators and musicians. The approach will appeal, also, to constructivists. Details can be found on the web site: www.asc-cyberaetics.org/2011 from which the following is taken:
The central three day event is an examination of “Listening” (understood metaphorically), explored conversationally, with evening presentations and performances. The conference will be framed by pre-conference tutorials of an introductory and/or exploratory nature (including tutorials introducing cybernetic concepts), a post-conference workshop celebrating the centenary of Heinz von Foerster (who founded the society) and the life and work of Ernst von Glasersfeld (who died just before Christmas 2010) by studying selected papers with others who share curiosity about their work.
The central conference is scheduled 11 to 13 August, inclusive. The pre-conference will be 9 to 10 August, and the post-conference will be 14 to 15 August.
