We will find out when philosopher Ian Ravenscroft and maritime archaeologist Wendy van Duivenvoorde present the outcome of their 2015 Flinders Institute for Research in the Humanities (FIRtH) fellowships.
Wendy’s research concerns the information recovered from a Mediterranean merchant ship which sank off Kyrenia, Cyprus in the time of Alexander the Great. The shipwreck was excavated in the late 1960s, and Wendy is part of an international research team studying the wreck. Her particular focus is on the ship's assembly and its anchoring and waterproofing.
Ian, who works in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, will introduce the idea of dynamic feedback loops between writer and page and writer and audience. A classic example of a dynamic feedback loop is Watt’s Steam Governor. Ian suggests that these feedback loops are sometimes literally part of the writer’s mind: the mind is natural but not entirely neurological.
