Dear Adrian:
I have a quick question regarding one of the prompts for the essay.
“1. where what it means is part of what it is as a thing”
I am having trouble with this, as isn’t the point of the subject to detach ourselves from ‘what something means’?
I just feel like the word ‘mean’ is too purposeful… As in to have meaning, means that to some extent a thing must have purpose. Which can’t help me think about applied intersubjectivity. I don’t know. I’m a bit at loss. Do you mind just giving me a quick elaboration on this point?
Dear at a bit of a loss:
the key question is:
As a group you have up to 1000 words to discuss and describe what it is, and what it does
(http://www.mediafactory.org.au/2017-ecologies-of-noticing/noticings-3/)
the bit you’ve asked about is me saying that things still have meaning for us, but this is only part of what they are, rather than the be all and end all.
