From an<br \/>\nessay by Ben Williams called &quot;Black Street Technology: Detroit Techno and the<br \/>\nInformation Age&quot;:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Davies and Atkins had met in a &quot;future studies&quot; class at Washtenaw<br \/>\n  Community College in Ypsilanti, which Atkins attended in order to study data<br \/>\n  processing after reading a Giorgio Moroder album sleeve that describe d the<br \/>\n  sequencers the Italian producer had used to create his metronomic disco epics.<br \/>\n  After realizing he didn&#8217;t need to be able to program computers to use<br \/>\n  electronic instruments, Atkins dropped the course, but not before encountering<br \/>\n  the work of Alvin Toffler. In his book <i>The Third Wave<\/i>, Toffler<br \/>\n  articulated America&#8217;s impending transition to a postindustrial, high-tech<br \/>\n  economy in a distinctly utopian manner; in the process, he also popularized<br \/>\n  many of the most enduring myths of what is now known as &quot;the new economy.&quot;<br \/>\n  (157)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>What holds me about this is the matter of school&#8217;s temporal economy: timing.<br \/>\nAtkins read Toffler and only later on, according to Williams, does Atkins<br \/>\nacknowledge a tinge of influence, a generalized impression he felt when he<br \/>\nrecognized the second wave machinations of Detroit&#8217;s three-shifts-per-day labor<br \/>\ncycles and Toffler&#8217;s foresight. This is not to say Atkins wasn&#8217;t influenced by<br \/>\nToffler immediately in the WCC classroom. But I think it&#8217;s reasonable to imagine<br \/>\nthat the influence was different later on, that it wasn&#8217;t constant.<br \/>\nPerhaps such things as memory, learning and uptake never level, never stabilize.<br \/>\nMore about school time: The temporal orthodoxies of the academy persist despite<br \/>\ncomposition&#8217;s post-process crisis (had the po-pro era dissipated so soon?).<br \/>\nAs our own processual-temporal enigmas grind against the larger clock&#8217;s slots,<br \/>\nespecially at this time of the semester, I&#8217;m reminded about the burden of the<br \/>\ninstitution&#8217;s march, the academy&#8217;s variation on the five o&#8217;clock whistle. My <i><br \/>\nslow<\/i> or <i>fast<\/i> doesn&#8217;t matter; it&#8217;s un-self-regulated many times and<br \/>\ninstead, differed or shifted.<\/p>\n<p>But more than my own pace and workload, the excerpt from Williams reminded me<br \/>\nof how this works for other students, FYC students let&#8217;s say, particularly at<br \/>\nevaluation time. Formal evaluations turn up on the institution&#8217;s timer,<br \/>\nalways inviting critique only at the terminal moment, the semester&#8217;s end.<br \/>\nWhy should this point in time be the most lucid for reflection and valuation of<br \/>\nexperience? Efficiency. I can&#8217;t argue with that (presence is a<br \/>\nprecondition for filling in the encumbered spaces with no. 2 leaded pencils).<br \/>\nBut, as with Atkins, tinges of influence often aren&#8217;t realized until later on.<br \/>\nLearning, of course, is both an now-effect and an after-effect; it&#8217;s a during,<br \/>\nan after, and an after after. But the temporal economies of schools can&#8217;t<br \/>\ntolerate open futures; sure, just try to get alumni to fill out a questionnaire.<br \/>\nThis is not surprising nor is it particularly insightful. <\/p>\n<p>Before CCCC, I sent a WRT302 promo email to former students chosen from the<br \/>\n80 I&#8217;ve had in class at Syracuse in these two years. Sign up for <i><br \/>\nDigital Writing<\/i> in the fall, I insisted. Just checked enrollments, and four<br \/>\nlucky somebodies have registered. One student responded to say he<br \/>\nregretted that he wouldn&#8217;t be able to take the course. He was an early<br \/>\nadmit to law school, starting in the fall. But he went on to say how taken<br \/>\nhe&#8217;d become with network studies, the loose theme of a research writing course I<br \/>\ntaught a year ago. He expressed gratitude and acknowledged that he didn&#8217;t<br \/>\nmuch appreciate the fullness of our study at the time (now, his project: network studies to understand political conceptions of unity). Heh, perhaps I didn&#8217;t either. Again, time. A semester ends and only later, perhaps<br \/>\nmany months or years later, we realize that we were getting somewhere. And<br \/>\nthough it eludes the formal institutional recognition, it&#8217;s reassuring when the<br \/>\nechoes of a few good moments long-ago taught turn up&#8211;unabated by the arrhythmia<br \/>\nof school time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Reading from Technicolor yesterday (for 651), I ran across this bit on Juan Atkins, producer with Cybotron and key figure in the emerging techno scene in the early 1980s.
