I mentioned the value of conviviality yesterday; with a nod to Ivan Illich, this article looks at the concept in more detail. "Conviviality occurs when we recognise the problems that each of us face, and relate them to our own problems, whilst recognising that working together can help us all. Coding creates a universal framework for articulating and sharing deep problems - it is not something that is done TO people: that merely creates a new set of constraints of "work as imagined". The magic only works if it is done WITH people." Imagine from an Audrey Watters article in Hybrid Pedagogy, Convivial Tools in an Age of Surveillance.
