MetaForumIn a recently published article 鈥溾�� we argue that the current critiques of the attention economy are too narrow. We plea for a broader and more systemic concept of attention to propose changes to the attention economy.
As a next step, we want to use 鈥淲estern鈥� and Buddhist approaches to analyze and discuss with you what this broader systemic concept of attention could look like.
We therefore invite you to a hybrid event. The in-person meeting will take place at the at walking distance from Eindhoven central station.
For questions please contact Gunter Bombaerts.
