2/28

should I try to gather all the political etc ideas that I got at the conference

the academic style

the feeling that I was dealing with a power structure

you are they

high and low culture — we are either appropriating or patronizing when we deal with low culture — we have to realize that there are people who really enjoy monster trucks running over cars etc (actually there are 3 levels — those that enjoy but feel superior or enjoy in an anthropological way) — but we can’t really accept all aspects — we are aware but can reject

politically I think the religious right is as powerless as we are — we are being used against each other — but we cannot form a holy alliance — Iran is an example to the contrary

the messy book and the precious

confusion of levels — media content structure etc

the use of the term hypocrisy which is better than elite because the lower cultures can be very elitist

my note reading now considers the use of storyspace as a writing space — the idea of having each section have a note which would indicate composition dates — possibly including the original version — the idea of someone being able to piece things back together from the old stuff — some note on the vortext
rewrite passages etc — follow the time line and have asides to rewritten passages — the same passage as I would write it now as now moves through time

confessions
a line of autobiography
the confessions of RW Russo
I’ve never read Rousseau’s
monogamy
