Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Living in Mapworld: Academia, Symbolic Abstraction, and the Shift to Online Everything” by Simon Penny. Abstract: In this commentary, I propose a more optimistic take to the role of virtual environments for pedagogical purposes than Simon Penny does in his target article. I consider how they already do involve our embodiment, and propose to rethink their objectives, from simulating our environments and substituting our practices, to enriching our repertoires and affording new actions.
