4c. PUBlishing & Distribution ?? // needs development of idea
Initial idea is wanting to draw in and work with some of the ideas that one of my PhD student James Fox has done on cybernetic models and alternative organizing structures. But the idea would not be asking him to write about that, but rather to think through in discussion with Minor Compositions, as publisher, how a more cybernetic of organizational structure could be translated into tools of protocols for our internal organizational processes. And the idea would be thinking through those things where the internal processes would be resonant with the approaches being developed within the ServPub book project. In other words it would be trying to work through how the methods being developed in this project could shift the internal organizational structures of the publisher. It might make sense to keep developing this and see how it best fits into the ServPub project as publication, in the sense that at this point it's unclear whether it sits better as a chapter in its own right, or as materials which might be usefully integrated into other planned chapters.
