In previous posts, I discounted post-colonial theorists and Foucault. As I’ve evolved, I’m seeing the importance of understanding their ideas. Their ideas seem ripe for translation into a more common vernacular—for a transposition that enables a more effectual praxis.
I am eager to learn. I need to return to the ideas of Stuart Hall. I’ve read him once but also didn’t appreciate him as much as he deserved.
I find this experience a lot: having to return to people when I am more ready to experience what they have to tell me. Sometimes I have to read books as much as three to four times.
I am in a hurry to learn. I can’t wait to uncover and record the theoretical and critical contributions that I know are waiting to be harvested. First things first, though, I need to tend to my course requirements.
