Writing
Publications
Writing is an odd business. As an academic, your name ends up associated with lots of work you have little responsibility for. Conversely, much of what one writes is transient, unnoticed, like calligraphic characters painted in water on the pavement. My “scientific” persona cares deeply about some topics below more than others. My “philosophic” persona has different concerns. Those I care deeply about, that I consider my ouvre, are signalled by the use of bold font. Lately, I have been in some doubt about who I am writing for and why, which itself is giving rise to a new kind of text, written for the hell of it, and not subjected to peer review.
Book
Cummins, Fred (2018). The Ground From Which We Speak: Joint Speech and the Collective Subject. Published November 2018 with Cambridge Scholars. Here is a 2 page precis of the book.
This book introduces joint speech, in which multiple people say or sing the same thing at the same time, as an object of empirical inquiry. Thematising joint speech like this creates a need for a scientific treatment of collective subjectivity. (Email me if you want a pre-publication pdf).

Unreviewed writing
- Cummins, F. (perhaps)
- The Minimal Posit of the Body
- An imaginative piece, pervaded by the unseen ghost of George Spencer-Brown, in which the given singularity of the body is looked into.
- Cummins, F. (ongoing)
- The Gateless Gate
- My current writing is exploratory. It is concerned with knowledge and authority. It introduces a discursive framework, the P-H framework, that contrasts “objective” knowledge with the more careful negotiation of common ground among discussants.
- Cummins, F. (2018)
- The Projective Image as Materialist Icon: How photographs reinforce materialist articles of faith, and how livestreams may act as interpersonal portals
- A 6,600 word essay discussing the relation of icons, photos and livestreams to reality.
- Cummins, F. (2016)
- Genitum, Non Factum: Thoughts on a Biological Turing Test
- In which I ask how we can distinguish between an organism and an artefact, such as a robot. The discussion is leisurely, as the question is rich.
- Anthony Chemero and I did a joint interview for the journal Perspectives:
- Interviews. Perspectives (2016), 6(1), pp. 4-12. Retrieved 10 Mar. 2017, from doi:10.1515/pipjp-2016-0002
I wrote a blog post which adds a “brain in the ass” thought experiment to complement the hoary old “brain in a vat” idea.
