Must one inquire into the issues that delay or block resolution? Love must be learned, and learned again and again; there is no end to it...Cranes dance in southwestern petroglyphs. Old Crane Man taught the Tewa how to dance.

I know I am connected because I understand the volatility of this spring is evidence...because my life's work is relevant...when someone mistakes me for a nurse...birdsong wakes me...patience permeates my senses and expands my pores...when I tell people what I do and they continue to talk...I am connected even when I am unable to discern the connection. I am connected.

"What is the purpose of dialogue?" Are Dialogue Under Occupation conference participants in the process of producing a work of critical art? Or are these conferences solely labor - the repetition of rituals that must be performed in order to satisfy and maintain professional credentials? Could we somehow manage to do both? Examples include the film Rabat, asking questions about symbolism entailed in labels such as the Green Line, and exploring Dr Makram Ouaiss’ point that non-violence is understudied, proven effective, and morally legitimate.

...what happened in the roundtable on Future Change at the Dialogue under Occupation conference hosted at Lebanon-American University in Beirut. The group was game to engage the quest, at least for the duration of the session. A pluck lot...If dialogue is to make a difference in the world, it must be sustained. As academics, we know the theory! But can we do it? Maybe this year will be different...

This is the second ‘report’ on a possible problematic moment at the mini-Bakhtinian conference on education hosted by the University of Delaware in March (ending on April Fool’s Day, a co-incidence of no note, unless we decide it helps the heuristic!). Contents of this blog entry are:
- Perils in the Foreground
- Promises in the Background
- Possibilities of Dialogue: Repressed or

Promises and Perils of Dialogic Pedagogy
It certainly wasn’t boring.
At least not after the slow start! But maybe the start wasn’t actually that slow . . . here I am re-thinking the beginning after the end.
We did not rush back from lunch, so the first set of presentations did not begin on time. Actually, time boundary-keeping was broken … Read more...
In "DayGlow Makes Us Normal," students blend a sharp knowledge of context with an unapologetic stance in support of 'the blue pill' - meaning an uncritical embrace of technology, particularly in terms of how it can be used to serve the needs of the self. These young people show us that they are doing their best to deal with everything; however surviving means sometimes choosing not to know in order to have the 'escape' that recharges them to be able to carry on....The other video is less ambiguous, showing more of the Red Pill approach through some critical juxtapositions that seem to ask "Do We Have to Be This Way?"

A vision is a product of imagination
By definition, a vision is not the physical sense of sight by which we perceive shapes, colors, distance, and relative positions of objects in our immediate environment. We use the sensory perception of vision as a metaphor for the amorphous sensation of possibility that arises … Read more...
the future
Building on the potential for a paradigm shift is matter of recognition, marketing, and design. These processes can proactively influence each other, interacting and changing through the development of a project. All are contained within the conception and application of strategic planning.
Strategy has to involve conceptualizing the outcome in two different yet complementary ways. First, you must … Read more...
Trevize is grumpy as hell that he’s chosen Gaia – a superorganism – instead of either the technologically-superior First Foundation or the “mentalic” (psychosocial scientifically advanced) Second Foundation as the future of humankind.
The moment of coincidence took my breath away. I opened Isaac Asimov’s fifth book in The Foundation Series, thinking I would start to read it for a … Read more...
