Thinking is classified ...
In relation all'Assignment 4a I found this script taken from Riccardo Ridi text "Thinking is classified" distributed to the training course "The classification of the University Library System at the University Ca 'Foscari, Venice, September- December 2001, entitled "Introduction to the course":
"The human instinct to group, sort, list, catalog and rank is probably congenital. As a true passion, even the classificatory harbinger of joy and pain is real and extremes. "The ineffable joy of the enumeration. The idea that there is nothing in the world so unique that it can not enter a list in itself has something exciting and at the same time, terrifying" [p. 1989 Perec 149]. "There is a dizzying taxonomy. I feel every time my eyes rest on an index of the Universal Decimal Classification" [p. 1989 Perec 144].
If conatus enumerandi is as old as man, does not mean that it is met in the same way. Metaphysics and Epistemology, encyclopedias and library classification systems, cosmogony and universal languages, have always solved in an infinite number of ways the eternal dilemma of how to order the world, or at least believe as you did. "It's so tempting to distribute the entire world under a single code! A universal law stand up all phenomena: the two hemispheres, continents, male and female, animal or plant, singular plural, right left, four seasons, five senses, five vowels, seven days, twelve months, twenty-six letters. Unfortunately it does not work, neither did started to run, it will never work "[p. 1989 Perec 138].
The typical image of the classification is well known, a tree, starting from the trunk and dividing into many branches, takes us from general to specific, or until the leaves more sensitive. An image (and a structure) is very different from that of a database or OPAC, the better epresentation with a grid, can be crossed at right angles in every direction.
The grid and the tree, though different from each other, are two intermediate structures between the document unilinear (with a beginning and an end) and multilinear hypertext (including the World Wide Web is the most famous example) , viable in a thousand ways without ever finding neither the beginning nor the end. The linear text is the simplest way to go, but this simplicity is paid for with a lack of expressive power and classification while at the other extreme, the very high expressive power / hypertext classification is paid for with a low predictability and a high risk of "lost". The grid, the tree, the database, the OPAC, they're halfway there.
Nowadays there is much talk of "society" and more people make their living by creating, processing, moving and organizing information. But it is impossible to organize the information regardless of classification. Sort mean, as Borges said, exert a critical function, it means finding a sort of perspective is explained, is to declare the rules and allow everyone to play cards, means drawing a map to help everyone reach their objective. Organize information means classify and categorize is something so important that it can not remain the monopoly of the only librarians who are also specialists.
Ultimately thinking is classified as one is tempted to answer "questions" of Perec: "Think / classify. What does the splitter? What I wonder, in the end? If I think before you classify? If classify the first to think, how I classify what I think, how I think when I want to classify? " [P. 1989 Perec 137].
