This space is for adding ideas for the 2019 Sociotechnocanonicon.
Format
- Kaylea liked the jitsi format and participation from non-cdsc
- Would it be feasible to offer reading credit for it? Or would that ruin it?
Content
- Are there other canonical texts we're not getting to?
- What about Marx, Weber, Durkheim?
- Adam Smith, Darwin, Foucault?
- Aristotle, Hobbes, Mill?
- All of these are possible to get from other places including in any number of social theory courses offered at UW. I think I'd have a preference for doing something closer to specifics of what we study but that still has very broad appeal. Olson's wikipedia:The Logic of Collective Action, Marwell and Oliver's The Critical Mass in Collective Action, and/or Axelrod's wikipedia:The Evolution of Cooperation. A more controversial suggestion would be Kropotkin's wikipedia:Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution —mako๛
- Maybe this is too close to the wrong canon, but I keep running into Coleman and Schelling and would like to do a more comprehensive read.Kaylea (talk) 18:58, 11 April 2019 (EDT)
- Claude Shannon (or at least someone else's summary of information theory) Aaronshaw (talk) 16:38, 7 May 2019 (EDT)
- Hayek (on information) Aaronshaw (talk) 16:39, 7 May 2019 (EDT)
- Merton, Blau 205.175.106.173 20:42, 7 May 2019 (EDT)
- If we want to read something ecological I would pick "organizations evolving" by Reuf and Aldrich. It may be a bit too high level and its kind of a textbook. I'd also be excited to do Marx, Weber, Durkheim. Another idea for a social theory book is "Constructing Social Theories" by Stinchcomb. Groceryheist (talk) 18:24, 5 June 2019 (EDT)
