art--some of the questions we are addressing through all this get really close to thing is work on in my "professional" guise--the closer it gets, the more cautious i get with words, etc. (obviously i am not consistent in this, as posting to a board sometimes generate dynamics of their own...) so you'll probably find my post getting longer and narrower as we approach these areas.


seperate note: in general, the way social sctors connect together phenomena--how the construct a sense for themselves of the world they move through--is a function of political argument/narrative more than it is of experience in any direct sense. this is because the sense of the world through which you move operates as a framing device that enables you to situate aspects of your experience in your immediate environment. "the world" tends to be an abstraction, to a significant extent--"experience-distant" as someone said....

if people ignore significant aspects of "reality" it is usually a function of the political position the occupy--if you disagree with the exclusions, the way to go at it is to work toward developing counter-narratives and making them known. praxis....is....good
