[Fis] Concluding & Season Greetings

[Pedro C. Marijuan]

Dear FISers,

To put an end to the present session Focusing on Narratives, some 
approximate transcription from Boyer (2018: "Minds Make Societies" p. 245):
/"Hum//ans stand apart from other species in the amount of information 
they acquire by pay//ing attention to what others do, and crucially to 
what they say...
Information is our //environment//, our niche, and we constantly 
transform that niche to acquire even more information from our 
surroundings..."/
Isn't it deeply related to principles of social information science, and 
also to the narratives theme of this session?

Like in previous years, after the Xmas pause, we will receive the 2019 
with our traditional "New Year Lecture".
As usual it will be announced during the last week or during first days 
of the new year.
It will revolve around a topic we have scarcely discussed: the 
neuroscience of consciousness.
After that Lecture, Xueshan and Plamen will tentatively organize 
respective discussion sessions.

And to everybody: enjoy the Xmas time! Feliz Navidad from Zaragoza.
See below the Nativity Scene in the square of El Pilar Basilica.
Best--Pedro
