Blogging the Humanities: Index

This is my humanities blog: http://idliketocallyourattentionto.blogspot.com/

This is how the blog works: I post items on various subjects I wish to find out more about. Generally, by writing and teaching, I will find out more about the item. The topics are those I have taught, am teaching, or might teach. I try to keep each blog entry about one thing, spreading links around the entry to identify interesting or more fully developed thoughts on or related to the topic. I try to post a picture or two with each entry because I like it like that, though not all of the entries are concerned with visual images.

I have not concluded the scope or sequence of what specific subjects the blog will eventually contain. At the moment, I have a few entries on art and architecture generally, on blues and jazz, on parts of the Bible, but most of the entries so far have been in the field of Greek Art.

In order for students - and others - to make sense of the scope and sequence of the topics, I create (will create) indices by topic arranged in a somewhat more logical or chronological fashion than what emerges in the blog itself, which is more subject to my moods and whims than strict sequencing of topics.

This link provides access to the introduction to Art, Design, and Visual Thinking, a very different web-based arts and humanities textbook by Charlotte Jirousek. The sort of things she says about her site apply to what I would say about mine, but she's already said them, so...
