From Ben Sweeting:
Writing to draw your attention to a new journal in our field: Enacting Cybernetics – which is published by the UK Cybernetics Society and hosted, open access by Ubiquity Press.
Its focus is on exploring and developing the many ways in which cybernetics may be practiced in the world. The journal invites contributions that engage deeply with cybernetics, its possibilities, histories, and practices, and especially those that develop its radical transdisciplinarity in tangible ways.
It is open access with no author fees. It is funded by Cybernetics Society membership, so do please consider joining to support if you are not already a member: https://cybsoc.org/
Articles are published on a rolling basis and included peer reviewed and editorially reviewed content. So far, five items are available in the first issue:
- Dulmini Perera – Design Fictioning of a Second-Order Kind: Runaway Cybernetics, Futures of Work, Possibilities of Engagement
- Howard Silverman – Recursively Contextual Identity: A Variant Formulation of First- and Second-Order
- Bernard Scott – Review of Robert Martin’s Book, Connect and Involve
- Jean M. Russell and Howard Silverman – Currencies as Cybernetic Objects: A Conversation
- Dietmar Koering – Exploring the Human-AI Nexus: A Friendly Dispute Between Second-Order Cybernetical Ethical Thinking and Questions of AI Ethics
Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editors, and members of the Cybernetics Society who have helped this come to fruition. I hope we can build this into a useful venue. If you have articles looking for a publication venue, please do consider submitting them.
