- Cybersemiotics:
Why Information is Not Enough, by Søren Brier
(U of Toronto P., 2008).
An extraordinarily complete approach to thinking about information,
documents, life and knowing combining cybernetics, linguistics, semiotics,
and biology - with special reference to Library and Information Science.
Noteworthy for rejecting the usual reductionist "scientific"
approaches based on formal logic and algorithms.
- The conferences and activities of the Document Academy,
a loosely coupled international network of scholars, artists, and
professionals, in various fields, interested in the exploration of
the document as a useful approach, concept and tool, in sciences,
