  ryskamp.org | brain | Transitioning to Autotelism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I’ve still been writing—parts of long pieces mostly, justifying autotelism, exploring post-desktop computing, and following up on the importance of being incredible—but haven’t spent the time to collect and finish them all.
Most of the autotelic people you see are children, and they remain that way for a long time growing older despite circumstances that might seem limiting.
Society’s goals, especially those dealing with money and power, are well-documented, and Christ’s goals for us are similarly shared (though often enigmatic and requiring interpretation—one argument for autotelism, search for “heterotelic”).

 20th WCP: Paideia, Schole, Paidia: Then and Now
One hint of his unwillingness to philosophize leisure is his indecision whether the happy life is the speculative or the political, or whether happiness — so close to leisure in its pleasures, as has been seen — relates to the changeless or the changing.
At the very least, whatever need he saw for eternity was satisfied in his Ethics by the autotelism of doing rather than of making, with no need to invoke the virtue of scientific necessity in order to purchase enough footing for leisure.
The activities are ones whose challenges are suited to the participant's capabilities, whose procedures are not ambiguous but are spelled out in rules, and whose feedback is clear and quick enough for the participant to know how well he or she has succeeded.

Questions concerning religion, philosophy, and language, especially poetic language, will be raised, and eclectic reference to philosophical enquiries concurrent with or bearing closely on the poetry will be made (eg to Nietzsche, Bradley, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Derrida, and more generally to currents in existentialist, phenomenological, and deconstructionist thinking).
More specific issues, such as the autotelism and "negative theology" of art, the universal Book, Orphic experience and expression, poetic impersonality and "negative capability", and the possibility or otherwise of post-Holocaust poetry, will also be addressed.
The texts will be studied in English, but where appropriate the use of bilingual editions will be encouraged and there will be emphasis on close attention to the text.

 ISS: Chapter 11: Hypophenomenalism: The Life of Organisms as Product of Mind: C. J. Ducasse
Examples of purposive activity that is thus autotelic would be sneezing, coughing, yawning, stretching; and, at a more elaborate level, the various play activities.
On the other hand, as the case of the mountain lake shows, an activity, in order to be capable of serving somebody's purpose, does not need either to be the activity of a purposive agent, or to be the activity of a purposively constructed mechanism.
In the various types of telism considered up to this point, the effect of the conations involved was to activate some preexisting psychological or psychosomatic mechanism; either, autotelically, for the sake of its very activity; or, heterotelically.

 10 Conclusion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The fatal step in the theoretical development of symbolic functionalism which denies its systems the possibility of autosemantics (inherent semantics) is the abstraction of the creature from the world, with the supposition that the important machinery of intelligence resides entirely in the creature.
The reason for this is that autosemantics depends on autotelism: mechanisms with inherent purpose.
Since autosemantics is hosted upon autotelism, and since autosemantics is an essential ingredient of a creature capable of displaying generally intelligent problem-solving behaviour, it follows that intelligence is a function of both the internal organisation of the creature and the creature's world.

Art, from its earliest manifestations through its most opaque servitude in masculine entelechy to contemporary autotelism can be judged authentic only in terms of its capacity for transparency.
These surface perceptions often have great historical and anthropological information; however, the denser the first plane of perception, the more opaque and difficult the transmutation from object to experience.
Even the most, supposedly, autotelic works are burdened by the opacities of technique and culture hype, procrustean in motive and intent.

Man is intrinsically active and motivated and does not need to be primarily motivated by the environment.
Man is seen, then, as active and autotelic; not as passive and heterotelic.
In summary, organismic psychology views man as active, autotelic, and involved in his own growth and development.

Flow studies rely on statistical analyses of very large sample sizes.
In preparation for the data collecting phase of the research for my 1998 University of Washington Ph.D. dissertation I spent four years developing a method of measuring or at least detecting the presence of autotelism (flow) in computer game play--along with an "autonomy supportive" unique apparatus to implement the method.
Unfortunately, collecting flow data during computer game play is difficult--and that difficulty is probably why few have gone beyond the speculative stage in considering such questions.

 Fabi/Passing and the Rise of the African American Novel. Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I borrow the terms necessity and extravagance from Sau-ling Wong's Reading Asian American Literature.
Wong explains, "The terms Necessity and Extravagance signify two contrasting modes of existence and operation, one contained, survival-driven and conservation-minded, the other attracted to freedom, excess, emotional expressiveness, and autotelism" (13).
Many novels of passing, by Harper and Hopkins for instance, originally appeared in fl periodicals, a fact that defies long-standing notions that passing stories were aimed mostly at white audiences.

Until somebody can demonstrate that these "histories" are anything more than tendentious myths coming from Ron, further analysis of the "ironies" of same are somewhat futile.
As I tried to point out, Brodsky was interested - in his American career - not in any kind of New Critical autotelism, but in the NeoClassical, socially-engaged, witty, discursive poetics of AUDEN.
In fact, when I spoke with him in the early 80s after a reading he gave in Providence, the one word of advice he had for me was: "you should read more Auden."

 Re-vision as Zapping: Tibor Fischer’s The Collector Collector   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Collector Collector made any perception, recognition or analysis of anything but itself impossible.
The waning of meaning and reference is thus made obvious through the creation of an inordinately self-engrossed narrative, whose autotelism is an exacerbated form of the more traditional forms of (historiographic) metafiction, and which precludes, in an endlessly centripetal movement, access to any form of outside reference.
This phenomenon is further illustrated through the means of a shattering inversion which subverts the meaning of the text, of the literary tradition, but also of the fundamentals of logic (whether linguistic or semantic),

Having established the case for describing the behaviour of purposeful things in terms of those purposes, and suggested that this properly licences us to attribute inherent purpose to those things, we are now in a position to consider the contribution that autotelism can make to the problem of symbol grounding.
The cognitive psychologist Harnad has reviewed the decade-long Chinese Room debate and suggested that the crucial issue is symbol grounding.

 Phaneronoemikon: June 2006   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Photography as an illustration of a "mechanical" way of seeing that is by definition "un-artistic": This stance has been at heart of the 19th century quarrel on photography as technology versus photography, as art versus photography.
Photography as expression/instrument of a new type of "autonomous" art, during the period of "high-modernism" and its emphasizing of art's autotelism (one might consider this the encounter between photography and abstract art, but is probably more correct to see in it the influence of modernism's tendency towards "structural differentiation").
This autonomous scopic regime has also something to do with the post-romantic promotion of the autonomous artist, i.e.
