On the Worker as Other

• Religious Fanaticism and the Labour Movement
  We will approach this as we speak of the problems of "knowingness" in belief, and the dilemma of hearing the Other when he/she believes differently. Kristeva on the stranger. (Tag jeanne to upload Kristeva.) We will also consider this with respect to dilemmas of peacemaking, but I may not get there in depth until next semester's course. jeanne

On Day of the Dead

• A Celebration of Life and Death on the Web
  The link, Skeletons and Skulls in the right-most frame will take you to this:

  "The Calaveras, or "skulls", are decorated as witty epitaphs written for friends and celebrities while they are still alive. These epitaphs are often circulated on printed sheets and provide an opportunity for political satire and comment."

• Vocabulario del Dia de Los Muertos
  Scroll to "p" where you will find:

  "Posada, Guadalupe José. (1852-1913) Artista mexicano, autor de numerosas ilustraciones sobre la muerte. Su satírica y humoristica visión de la muerte en la cotidianidad de la vida mexicana ha sido y continua siendo fuente de inspiración para artistas de todas las edades y de las más variadas escuelas dentro y fuera de Mexico."

  Compare the word "la cotidianidad" in the above paragraph to quotidian. Just wanted you to know that switching languages won't get you out of studying! jeanne

  Oh, need the English version? It's at Vocabulary for Day of the Dead
  Note that the English version uses "everyday," not "quotidian." jeanne

Defining Justice

• Distributive Justice and Status Inconsistency
  This is a brief theoretical piece I'd like you to look at in terms of theory to explain the scene in White Boy Shuffle at the police station when fellow officers of Gunnar's father used pejorative epithets. This brief description of current Polish research suggests that status inconsistency might need to be considered as separate from distributive justice as we presently theorize it. In English.

Transforming the Dominant Discourse

Although TR Young meant this for those who plan to enter academia, I believe it applies equally to all of us as we seek to shift the dominant pradigm from adversarialism towards mutuality.
• Charlie Notess' Local Hub Site On Postmodern War and on Responses to Uncertainty in a Complex, Changing Postmodern World.
  Prof. Notess and I will break these down into smaller practices on Multiple Interpretation for Theory, Distributive Justice, and Love and Peace. In the interim, you are welcome to adapt them.
