hi, mark
the questions i offered are in a 'context'. of course it's a 'problematic'
process (as stated). but it is an attempt to undermine the authority of the
critical voice, to make it accountable. people answer as they will. the
questions are not immune from being challenged. i think the colonisation
question is answered within the deployment of the questions themselves, and
certainly with regard to the statement above - ie undermining the authority
of the critic, to make accountable 'observation'. the 'symbolist' purity
possibly suggested by your counter-questions is what i am attempting to
destabilise. and anyway, it's about participation. the same psychology
drives poetryetc - at least some of the time (spatial temporality!).
best,
jk
