Peartrees: Multi-dimensional Curation

Peartrees: Multi-dimensional Curation
A few weeks ago now, I posted an opinion piece on Technorati titled, 'Why Social Media Curation Matters'. Following this I received quite a lot of feedback and it’s thanks to one of these comments – posted by on my blog – that I was led to Pearltrees. In addition to this, I was also motivated to re-evaluate my position on the subject of curation and take a closer look at what I perceived that to be.

However, as I delved further into the service, and further contemplated readers' feedback, I began to realise that there were actually some fundamental differences both in the approach of the developers and in my perception of curation.

In Japanese the word "Kodo" conveys two meanings: Firstly, "heartbeat" the primal source of all rhythm. The sound of the great taiko is said to resemble a mother's heartbeat as felt in the womb, and it is no myth that babies are often lulled asleep by its thunderous vibrations. Secondly, read in a different way, the word can mean "children of the drum," a reflection of Kodo's desire to play the drums simply, with the heart of a child. Kodo strives to both preserve and re-interpret traditional Japanese performing arts.

Welcome - curated.by pearltrees > blog mythe féminin La reine Esther est troublante à bien des égards, et l'étude de son personnage soulève des questions difficiles à éluder : - Pourquoi l'auteur du livre d'Esther a-t-il fait appel aux légendes des dieux babyloniens, Ishtar et Mardouk, qu'il a en quelque sorte "cachérisés" ? - Pourquoi chante-t-on les mérites d'une jeune fille juive qui abandonne son peuple pour se donner à un roi idolâtre ? - Pourquoi loue-t-on son tuteur, qui prostitue de cette manière sa pupille ? - Pourquoi le livre se termine-t-il par l'extermination générale des habitants de Suse par les Juifs, menés par Esther et Mardochée, et par l'évocation de l'allégresse qui s'ensuit ? Esther - Ishtar : L'auteur du Livre d'Esther n'a pas craint de donner à ses héros des noms empruntés à la mythologie babylonienne, comme s'il était évident pour les lecteurs de son époque que les Juifs exilés en Perse pouvaient s'identifier aux dieux locaux !
