Walking The Cognisphere - Navigation and Digital Media on The Go

Författare

Summary, in English

The paper deals with the ways an advanced digital technology like GPS (Global Positioning System) is integrated with the mundane practices of wayfinding and moving on foot. I will use N Katherine Hayles take on the concept cognisphere: ”The cognisphere gives a name and shape to the globally interconnected cognitive systems in which humans are increasingly embedded.” The concept deals with the ways that humans and machines are co-existing in complex systems of data flows. Then, how can the ideas about a cognisphere be related to the anthropologist Tim Ingold’s discussions about bodily mobility, walking and cognition? Use of digital media like GPS devices puts the ideas about cognition and mobility in a new light.
