Media and digital literacies in Canadian teacher educators’ open educational practices: A post-intentional phenomenology

Hupomnemata - glossary item

As posited by Foucault (1983), hupomnemata forms an artifactual record of things individuals read, hear, or think, composing the shape and form of the self (Weisgerber & Butler, 2016). (Mewburn & Thomson, 2018) Mewburn and Thomson describe hupomnemata as a form of self-writing where academic blogs are forms of personal reflections, “a bricolage of diverse ideas, heterogeneous events and scattered readings” (p. 22) where posts are both notebook and/or correspondence.
