presentation memories

I was at XVIII Congreso Interamericano de Filosofía talking about digital objects. I was the unique woman in the room (first section, first day in the philosophy of science table), probably the youngest there and the person without slides.

I was working about Simondon theory of technical objects more than two years but I still feel overwhelm when I try to picture how to understand a possibility to create an ontology of digital objects. The field is complex. In one hand I am working on ontology (with a big part of metaphysics) but I want to consider a perspective with a human proximity (including a phenomenological inquiry), for that reason the simondonian theory is my path.

My document was read by a couple of friends before my public presentation and I receive compliments and a suggestion to create a paper with my research.

That event was my second public presentation and I could handle after many months of anxiety. I prepared it reading a huge amount of resources to prove myself that I know about my topic in a deep way. I though about my clothes and my corporal language. I thought about all the possible judgments to my character (not about my proposal). Was really hard to detach me from my work but I could.

Now, I am thinking about the suggestion. I want to create a piece of academy literature at least to challenge me. I want to face my fears and doubts… wish me luck!

One thought on “presentation memories

  1. I read your conference paper at researchgate. I think is a very good initial paper because you state important issues regarding the definition of digital objects and our relationship with them. I guess your intention was not to elaborate strong arguments, but I consider you made a good point when you say “la existencia del objeto digital ya no sólo manifiesta lo humano, como en el objeto técnico, sino lo racional o lo pensable”

    I really think you should keep digging and thinking about this and absolutely, you should keep writing!
