David Perez- Walmart supply chain network; relationships among suppliers, distributors, and
retailers
Supply in Heidegger: to look at historicality-fate and repetition in supply chains, as a ground
problem in the connectedness of life To look at supply chains ontologically, their Being-in-theworld of space/time/mattering.
Heidegger exploration of the week : #118 “In our 'description' of that environment which is
closest to us-the work-world of the craftsman, for example,-the outcome was that along with
the equipment to be found when one is at work [in Arbeit] , those Others for whom the 'work'
["Werk"] is destined are 'encountered too'. 2 If this is ready-to-hand, then there lies in the kind
of Being which belongs to it (that is, in its involvement) an essential assignment or reference to
possible wearers, for instance, for whom it should be 'cut to the figure'. Similarly, when
'supplier'
material is put to usc, we encounter its producer or
as one who 'serves' well
or badly. When, for example, we walk along the edge of a field but 'outside it', the field shows
itself as belonging I I 8 to such-and-such a person, and decently kept up by him; the book we
have used was bought at So-and-so's shop and given by such-and-such” a person, and so forth.”
4:50 – 5:20 Discussion of Story Network Analysis
Design one story network that you are interested in, try to create nods and linkages as many as
you can, then discuss in pairs, and think about the differences between story network analysis
and deconstruction analysis.
5:20 – 5:30 Break
5:30-6:00 Discussion of Taxonomic Analysis



To understand how taxonomies organize culture domains.
How to make a taxonomic analysis?
Go beyond Spradley by doing a cumulative kind of taxonomy. That is, instead of
mutually exclusive, do one where it can be multi-dimensional, even holographic.
6:00-6:30 Review & Discuss Assigned Canvas Questions due this week.
7a: What is your personal narrative of a story network and how does that personal narrative fit
