Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Living in Mapworld: Academia, Symbolic Abstraction, and the Shift to Online Everything” by Simon Penny. Abstract: We discuss the author’s suggestions of incorporating interdisciplinary arts methodologies and focusing on asking the “right questions,” or big questions, as well as embodied and enactive practices into education, besides raising a concern about how to foster the construction of “bottom-up” knowledge. We also touch on the importance of problem posing and transgressing disciplinary boundaries through metaphorising.
