I am glad to see that there are more people out there who appreciate Dewey :-)<br />ErikErik Stolterman Bergqvisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368024740643883412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194674.post-62681998081634842852012-02-21T04:58:30.949-05:002012-02-21T04:58:30.949-05:00Hi Erik and Mads,
…it is interesting that Dewey is...Hi Erik and Mads,<br />…it is interesting that Dewey is so prevalent in the US but quite unknown in Europe. There's some good stuff on Dewey by (of all people) Donald Schön… and perhaps my favourite paper that links him to continental philosophy (and HCI, to some degree) is one that looks at the concept of 'breakdown' in the work of Dewey, Heidegger and Leont'ev<br /><br />http://www.mendeley.com/research/concept-breakdown-heidegger-leonev-dewey-implications-education/<br /><br />I love chapter 3 of art as experience, and also think that chapter 5 (the expressive object) is really useful when thinking about the kinds of artifacts designers make during the design process. His 'statements - expressions' framework is very useful for thinking about (and discussing) concepts like ambiguity and designerly moves..Jeremy Yuillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09924385547996993963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194674.post-44967911497363734502012-01-27T08:48:28.424-05:002012-01-27T08:48:28.424-05:00Mads,

I appreciate your comments and I agree and hope that Dewey will become more recognized and influential.<br /><br />ErikErik Stolterman Bergqvisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368024740643883412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194674.post-18772986296378992492012-01-27T04:10:23.997-05:002012-01-27T04:10:23.997-05:00I totally agree on that.

This was actualized in Richard Shusterman’s 1992 book Pragmatist Aesthetics which took its starting point in a critical dialogue with Dewey. Art as Experience (and the chapter you mention) is a very rich text – a text that opens up ever new perspectives. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that there is only little reception of Dewey’s Pragmatism in a European academic context, where e.g. continental phenomenology has played a major role in some of the same fields as Dewey has worked with. If I am right, Dewey is still to be discovered.Mads Nygaard Folkmannnoreply@blogger.com
