This would be Mikhail Bakhtin, and somehow I'm going to make it clear that interpreters make this happen. Google could only find one reference to this idea, in a paper on the possibilities/problems of cybercommunity/ies, Digital Waco.

Here's what Morson & Emerson say in their intellectual biography, Creation of a Prosaics:


Phantoms in the Brain

(As if I have time for leisure reading, but when I do, Phantoms in the Brain : Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind looks like a winner.

It's definitely timely, as I wax and wane between what can only be empirically described as fantasy yet feels, phenomenologically, like a vision of the future. I know it's only a potential future, but I cannot shake the conviction that if I find the proper alignments it could come to pass. Could be a text book case of what neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran explores regarding hallucination? There is external stimula, which I don't think I'm misreading (that would be an illusion according to the Wikipedia definition) - empirically observed behavior. "A hallucination is a sensory perception experienced in the absence of an external stimulus..." seems more on target because the moments of perception (possibly an example of insight?) occur in spatial and temporal distance from the stimulus.

Trying to guide students from the notion of subjectivity, through co-construction, to intersubjectivity. I've posed the question to a few of them to define "co-construction." I jumped ahead, to intersubjectivity. The stuff I'm coming across is pretty dense. :-(

Intersubjectivity in an organic pub

The (above) Blog for Collective Intelligence looks like a Tom Atlee site, except it's a bit more witty! (Tom writes more like me, or, I write more like him. Basically, not so funny. Don't tell me you guessed?!) Actually, I'm pretty sure I recognize George's name from among folk Tom has recommended in the past.
