#future-of-writing — Public Fediverse posts

On February 20, 2026, I presented a paper at the Future of Writing symposium 2026, whose main theme was “adaptability”. The symposium was organized by Mark Marino and Z.D. Dochterman and it was presented by The Dornsife Writing Program at the University of Southern California, the Institute on Ethics & Trust in Computing, the Viterbi Engineering in Society program, the Ahmanson Lab, the Electronic Literature Organization, and the Humanities and Critical Code Studies Lab.

I do not actually teach writing, but digital writing is the focus of my academic research and I teach digital literacy workshops (with the Socialini collective). These two experiences led me to present a phenomenological approach to teaching writing, a method that is in debt to C.I.R.C.E.‘s “hacker pedagogy” and their interface analysis, which I apply to writing interfaces. The title of the paper is The Daimon of the Interface: an (Alien) Phenomenological Approach to Writing Technology.

The overall goal of this approach is to help students develop a deep awareness of the interconnection and interdependence of writing and thinking, and of the influence that the tools we use have on our cognitive and writing processes.

Since my academic career is likely coming to its end soon, I thought it was better to publish it as a working paper on my Zenodo profile instead of going through the everlasting and exhausting process of developing it as it should be done, then submitting it to an academic journal and going through the full loop. I know this is a shortcut, but I also think that in the paper there could be some interesting ideas and the method I propose could be of some use to teachers. So in a spirit of openness and sharing, I prefer to put it out in the world. Of course, I’ll be more than happy to receive comments, critics and feedback: if you want, get in touch!

🤔 Ah, the predictable existential dread of tech writers: "The Future is Lies," yawn! 🤥 If only they spent as much time understanding machine learning as they do splitting their prose into endless sections. 📚 Spoiler alert: The future of this article is just more paragraphs. 😴

Il 21 e 22 febbraio, a Lugano, nella sede dell’Università della Svizzera Italiana, si terrà Hacking New Year, evento per condividere conoscenze e pratiche in ambito digitale e per lanciare il South Alps CCC hacklab. Ci saremo anche Giuliana Sorci (con il suo Server ribelli) e io (con Scritture digitali), rispettivamente sabato 21 febbraio alle 16:10 e domenica 22 febbraio alle 16:15. Il programma completo prevede interventi e workshop, in un’ottica orizzontale di costruzione collettiva del sapere.

Presenterò poi il libro il 9 marzo alle 17 alla biblioteca Dario Nobili del CNR (via Gobetti 101, Bologna) all’interno della rassegna Slow Science.

Il 20 febbraio presenterò (online) qualche riflessione e metodo sull’insegnamento della scrittura al tempo dei modelli linguistici al simposio The Future Of Writing ’26, organizzato dalla University of Southern California. Al link è possibile registrarsi per l’evento, ma il programma dettagliato non è ancora uscito. Il titolo del mio intervento è “The daimon of the interface: an (alien) phenomenological approach to writing technology” (il debito a C.I.R.C.E. e alla pedagogia hacker è esplicito).

L’ultima segnalazione (e mi accorgo che ho presentato questi appuntamenti in ordine non cronologico) è invece musicale: con il mio alter ego ẓavajêr e in compagnia di AD/SR (aka morloi) faremo una micro-esibizione all’interno dell’home made festival Dubbio Gusto a Bologna, che ha una lineup che vede 9 esibizioni a partire dalle 19:30. Tutto materiale inedito, molta improvvisazione, live coding e spoken word (e un bel banco di prova per un progetto più ampio che è in cantiere). L’evento è “privato”, se siete in zona e vi interessa partecipare, scrivetemi una mail o un DM su Mastodon.

Mi rendo conto che su queste pagine sto ormai pubblicando più informazioni su eventi (presentazioni, tavole rotonde…) che scritture e riflessioni e un po’ questa cosa non mi piace, però i limiti di tempo ed energie sono forti. Allo stesso tempo, piuttosto che rimanere sempre davanti a uno schermo, credo sia non solo bello ma anche molto importante trovarsi nello stesso spazio fisico con i nostri corpi a condividere idee e costruire percorsi: se uno di questi appuntamenti è nella vostra zona, passate che ci facciamo due chiacchiere faccia a faccia!
