Interaction Media and Communication

Reading Merleau-Ponty

Body in Cyberspace

This summer, the IMC group will be reading selected writings from "Maurice Merleau-Ponty: basic writings", edited by Thomas Baldwin. Below, you will find a schedule of locations and readings.

We invite all those interested in joining us for a discussion of Merleau-Ponty. Our interest is in corporeality and spatiality as it relates to designing interaction but the discussion is sure to stray!

Information how to get to Queen Mary University of London can be found at the college's web site.
