the living present (pitstop)
Robert Sokolowski:
“The actual segment of conscious life, the lebendige Gegenwart, is an absolute concretum because everything happens within it: remembering, expecting, perceiving, judging, being passively affected, and even doing phenomenology – all are nested inside the living present, while it is not nested inside anything else. We cannot get down to anything more basic because all further divisions – into central impressions and retentions, for instance – are abstractive. The living present is the theater in which the whole spectacle of conscious life is available for phenomenological viewing. Even the past and future are present only inside it; the living present is a present for my past and future”.
Robert Sokolowski, Husserlian Meditations, Northwestern University Press, Evanston , USA, 1974. Pages 158-159.

blog basics
Picturing the communication process.
—————————-
Barebones communication is, obviously, a blog on communication. Furthermore on efficient communication.
The blog will try to lay bare resources and tools from different scientific orientations, as well as experiential results, and set up a comprehensive toolbox for understanding, making and evaluating acts of communication. Being it text, images or other.
The blog is developed as a set of themes.
You should not, unless you insist on it, read this blog in a linear order. It is not intended that way.
You need to pick the themes by using the tags in the tag cloud. Every post belongs to a barebones theme, but theme posts are not necessarily written, and posted, in a strict chronological order.
If you, for instance, want to read all posts about gestalt factors, you should click the tag gestalt factor in the tag cloud. Likewise, if you want to read all the posts about the phenomenological method, you should click the tag phenomenological method. If you want to follow the theme persuasion in marketing, you should click that tag. And so forth.
Just to let you know that this is personal blog. Posts, pages, comments, pictures and opinions set forth, are the “opinions” of the blog author, and represent no other parties or interests. The blog author is Knut Skjærven.
Barebones communication is a non-commercial blog.
Be aware, that posts to this blog are not necessarily fixed statements. They may change over time as I go back to make corrections or other changes.
