I finally got around to reading this lengthy article. Considering I’ve been told about it from an artist, a teacher, a bike messenger, and a graduate, the tag for this blog is probably incorrect. However, maybe the implied exclusivity of the tag will spark an innate sense of envy in you, noble reader, and you’ll be compelled to read through the long article. Really, despite an article that predominantly looks at an indigenous tribe’s language structure and outlines the mounting forces between a feud regarding Chomskyean notions of Universal Grammar, this is an article that anyone can take something from. For example, I get why -and am thrilled by the fact that – the article was the only required reading for a graduate design course.

It’s an article that I’d like to look at through a teacher’s lens, though one whose questions it elicits I’d hope to exhume in the company of others rather than the barren void of an under read blog. Additionally, the article made me think about the concept (be it the well-treaded concept) of recursion. What about recursion in politics or in educative practice? Can we frame ours as a recursive culture? I realize that this makes little sense, but I’m not sure how to fully enunciate this…yet. Read it yourself – maybe you can help unravel this thought for me.
