Liz Losh on Object-Oriented Teaching

Over at the Digital Media and Learning blog, Liz Losh writes a nice introduction to the "emerging theory" of object-oriented philosophy. Her post discusses the surprise popularity of objects at last month's Digital Arts and Cultures conference, including very prominent mention in Kate Hayles opening plenary.

Losh then asks how object-oriented teaching might work at a practical level, offering some possible examples, from The New Ecology of Things to Katherine Lambert's Lifecycle Project.

Perhaps most importantly, Losh's piece offers another specimen of OOO's extension into the fabric of intellectual discourse. The objects are rising.

I was fixated on objects for around 2 years around '05, I made some presentation, etc. Then i realized i wasn't interested in the objects at all, but the relations/associations and then i started reading some mereology and returned to an earlier paper i'd written on the philosophy of inference in a world without singulars/objects and came back to the idea that there really are no objects, just signifiers or 'relations/associations' to 'objects'. That's where i'm standing now, in a pseudo-Serres position. I'll have to read some more I guess.
