Shaping our future: Creating the World Future Council
This book describes the mission of the World Future Council, which came into existence shortly after publication. Many values are shared across cultures and those values need to be represented by a common voice. The World Future Council was launched to fill that role, and seeks to be an ethically powerful global voice that appeals and responds to basic human values
Is this photograph taken? - The active (act of) collaboration with photography
Over more than thirty years of commercial and fine art photographic practice, I have often noticed remarkable disparities between the scenes, objects, events or moments ‘out there’ I had attempted to record – and the images within the resulting photographs. These (sometimes subtle, sometimes profound, but rarely anticipatable) disparities between what I had seen and what the photograph shows me offer the tantalising suggestion that there may be something else going on here – but something which the popular conception of photography may hinder our ability to recognise. This article explores the implications of four central assumptions implicit within the popular conception of photography which may impede new ways of thinking about photographic practice. Supported by a number of photographs that depict scenes, events and ‘moments’ which were not ‘taken’ but were created by the act of photographing them, I will suggest that new opportunities for practice may be available by ‘re-imagining’ the practice of photography as an active – or, as an act of – collaboration between medium and practitioner
Merleau-Ponty and the Measuring Body
In recent years a growing number of scholars in science studies and related fields are developing new ontologies to displace entrenched dualisms. These efforts often go together with a renewed interest in the roles played by symbolisms and tools in knowledge and being. This article brings Maurice Merleau-Ponty into these conversations, positioning him as a precursor of today’s innovative recastings of technoscience. While Merleau-Ponty is often invoked in relation to his early work on the body and embodiment, this article focuses on his later work, where the investigation of perception is integrated with an ontological exploration. The resulting approach revolves around the highly original idea of the body as a standard of measurement. We further develop this idea by coining the term ‘the measuring body’, which to a greater extent than did Merleau-Ponty accentuates the relative autonomy of symbolisms and tools and their capacity to decentre the perceiving body

Cartas Biológicas a una Dama
Cartas biológicas a una dama, es un raro libro de divulgación científica que originalmente fue publicado en alemán, en 1920, como Biologische Briefe an eine Dame, e impreso en Berlín . Su autor, Jakob von Uexküll, lo dedicó a su esposa Gudrun, Condesa de Schwerin–Schwerinsburg. Uexküll, considerado como el fundador de la biosemiótica, fue un notable zoólogo y filósofo de la biología. La obra, Cartas biológicas a una dama, fue traducida al español por Manuel García Morente, y publicada en 1925 en la Revista de Occidente de Ortega y Gasset. La presente excerpta procede de una vieja impresión de la editora chilena Zig–Zag. No indica quien tradujo la obra –probablemente sea la de García Morente–, ni tampoco tiene fecha de publicación.
