This same idea applies to the El Salvadorian mother, illiterate, whose smile emits a deep understanding. Or the child who “teaches” the elder…or perhaps reintroduces the elder to what was once known. The list goes on…!
Great! Let us go on a treasure hunt for such alternatives…perhaps we already are, though as @johnnydavis54 notes, there is a divide between reflecting upon alternative modernities and reflecting upon the Modern. Perhaps we can read a section of Ever Present Origin to allow less knowledgable folk such as myself a better understanding of Modern era Aesthetics? I don’t mind brushing up on Wallace Stevens and friends (is Jim Morrison included too?! count me in!).
Interesting fella. He also includes education into the mix so wondering if his educational models/writings includes the spiritual/weird, including entities. I am also interested in the sacred spaces that allow for an “access” to the entities.
Future Cafe:
Also wanted to note that @Gennifrey_Edwards has agreed to introduce his paper Subversive Pedagogy: The Intruder in a future Cafe on December 4th, a follow-up to our 10/30 Cafe:
I know others had mentioned a strong interest in the general topic (@MarcoMasi, @hfester, @DurwinFoster, @care_save , @KPr2204) who may not be a part of this current thread. More to come!
