A &#8216;convivial society&#8217;, he argues, is a society in which everyone can act autonomously, and this can be achieved through the design and use of &#8216;convivial tools&#8217;: People feel joy, as opposed to mere pleasure, to [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/texts/tools-for-conviviality/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Unimaginable tools</title><link>http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/texts/unimaginable-tools</link> <comments>http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/texts/unimaginable-tools#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2009 11:06:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Femke</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Texts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Retrospective Reading]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thoughts + ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tools]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/?p=1671</guid> <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Only rarely, if indeed ever, are a tool and an altogether original job it is to do, invented together. Tools as symbols, however, invite their imaginative displacements into other than their original contexts.
