Digging Deep « Shalom Rav

  • Isaac, who for so much of Genesis exists largely in the shadow of his father, Abraham, finally comes into his own in this week’s Torah portion. Witness his re-digging of his father’s wells (which Abraham had dug in Genesis 21:25-30). The text makes a point of telling us that Isaac assigns them the same names his father had given them. But when the time comes for Isaac to establish his own wells, the text pointedly tells us that he names them himself.

Conversations Below Sea Level: Anne Beaulieu and Sally Wyatt

  • “The future of science and technology is actively created in the present through contested claims and counterclaims over its potential. Language is an important tool, alongside social practices and material objects, in attempts to construct the future. Metaphors not only help us to think about the future; they are a resource deployed by a variety of actors to shape the future.”
  • I think what I like about the term ‘virtual knowledge’ is that it does capture the notion of ‘knowledge between people,’ the shared nature of knowledge, the different ways of doing that, getting into the –as you say– practices and situatedness of knowledge, which I think is an important dimension of our work.
