SEAT\u2019s Chris Bissell<\/a> organised and chaired a one day workshop \u2018Information\u2019 at the 14th International Conference of the International Society for the Study of European Ideas (4th-8th Aug\"Chris<\/a>ust) at Catholic University of Portugal in Porto. The fascinating, deeply interdisciplinary, workshop contained 9 papers ranging from medieval Irish documents, to metadata systems for film production; early Modern news networks to the informational content of Kandinsky\u2019s Cossacks<\/a>; Paul Otlet and the Mundaneum<\/a> to networks and the social imaginary . Chris presented on aspects of the history of systems,\u00a0 and SEAT members\u00a0David Chapman<\/a> on measuring information, and Steve Walker<\/a> on information and social contention. By general agreement the workshop was both very enjoyable and interesting (Ed: the most enjoyable workshop I\u2019ve been to in a long while). The full list of presentations is below (the abstracts are available here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
