Dear Craig ... i like your site very much ... there are lots of good ideas
and i like the manifesto ... do you think its 'spectre is haunting' the
cyberspace already ... history is just a collection of stories told from thepoint of view of the winners ... i come from chile and in 1982 i was in
england ... i have heard all about CORPORATIZATION (so called modernization of the economy) 3 times around, including this third time in australia ...same discourse, word by word ... from the 'children' of milton friedman, over and over again ... GREED TOOK OVER and now we live in societies where there is no compassion, over generalizations and a total disregards for the PUBLIC GOOD ... it is good to find sites like milkbar
a big smile, claudia {;-)

Hi Craig,

Thanks to you for your presentation - it was just right for the opening night and your interactive approach - which encouraged discussion was also helpful and interesting.I suddenly realised what the difference is between someone doing a thesis, 10 or 20 years ago and someone currently engaged in research. Current research seems to exist on two planes - it seems to be of a more self-conscious (the trendy theory word is self-reflexive) nature in that it incorporates into its hyothesis both the object of discourse/ideological approach as well as the questioning of ideology and representation, in your case through history, in mine for example, I am as much interested in Crown as a representation of power as i am in the power of representations - the one-sided, exclusive dimension of representation that therefore reflects ideology -
Representation is something that can't be avoided, and yet in this post-structural era its problematic nature is constantly highlighted. I wonder what it might lead to.

Anyway that's what i think, I think we think a lot about what we are thinking....this is possibly why i am no longer practising art..no time to pracise - time needed for thinking..... and this thought arrived after your seminar and the group discussion that followed.

See you at the next seminar,

Irene.
