Agency of Information in Culture & Learning

For my final assignment I intend investigate “Location & Idenity (Representation) within the Agency of 21st C learning”, this area of study directly relates to both ‘Culture’ and ‘Learning’ in the view that both are reliant on “external forms which have been objectified in the course of history” (Georg Simmel). This argument further relates to the Subject/Object debate within a Post-Human critique, and relates to the increasing objectification of learning. My final assignment will take a view on the increasing ‘ability’ of learning to act in the world, culture of learning, related to objectification.

“the cultivation of individuals through the agency of external forms which have been objectified in the course of history” (Georg Simmel)

Representation has been an ongoing theme throughout my Tumblog. Representation of objects must give objects agency when related to understanding (therefore related to learning and culture), and representation must be a precursor to knowing, even though objective representation maybe rejected (or re-formed – re-visited) in favour of ‘new knowing’.
