Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter writes philosophy and poetry. He teaches at a public university in North America and consults / coaches (executive, life, & creative). Bennett-Carpenter is the author of Death in Documentaries (Brill) and Explaining Jesus (Rowman & Littlefield). Recent publications include poems in Superpresent, Book of Matches, and Kitchen Table Quarterly. And the article: "On Memes: A Brief Introduction to Memetica, or A Contemporary Rhetoric of Information" in Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy. STATEMENT: My work engages rhetorical, psychological, and behavioral strategies. These strategies operate within particular cultural niches. Generally these cultural niches for me include: • interpersonal, analytic, & poetic discourses • particular communities, organizations, & societies • arts & media experience, and • particular personal microcosms/paracosms. Specifically I am interested in how we human beings "compose our world(s)" in relation to: • conceptions of information organization, reproduction, & growth • mortality & human life • affect/emotion & creativity, and • assessing present situations & envisioning/enacting the future. My central efforts seek to understand, negotiate, and facilitate what I see as individual and collective struggles for survival, well-being, and inspiration in a complex, uncertain world. I do this through observing, experiencing, listening, talking, watching, reading, traveling, writing, consulting, and coaching. Action may lead to ideas. Ideas may lead to action. In the middle of all this, we feel the moment - and anticipate the future. -Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter Writing | Consulting / Coaching | Teaching | Bio | Contact |
