In this book, which is revealed to be the second part of a planned trilogy on Homo Faber (the first is _The Craftsman_), Sennett takes on the topic of cooperation. His approach is one of historical sociology, covering vast fields of literature to examine how we cooperate through the ages. The main gist of the presentation is a hopeful one; even though global capitalism in recent years has hampered intrinsic cooperation, there are ways forward to be learned from ancient and more local cooperative practices such as the workshop and dialogical conversations. This topic obviously holds tremendous general interest for an interaction designer interested in collaborative media. However, there are also parts in the book where Sennett explicitly address online communication and its implications for cooperation. These parts are regrettably quite weak, based only on very limited amounts of anecdotal experience with contemporary communication practices. I ended up choosing to disregard those parts and instead focus on the more general value of Sennett's big-picture account of the sociology of cooperation.
Discusses why people tend to avoid social engagement with those unlike themselves, why increased cooperation is necessary to make society prosper, and the skills necessary for strengthening cooperation. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Speriamo che il libro conclusivo della trilogia (che sarà dedicato alla città) possa chiudere in bellezza un percorso per ora un po' debole. ( )
