Hi everyone,
I agree with Jakub...I don't think it is beyond analysis to see psychology, especially cognitivism as another aspect, discourse,
that arises from the new neo-liberal desire to master experience by modeling the human apparatus as merely a set of predictable
responses. While i accept that some really want to make genuine insights into the state of things It is my understanding that the
models themselves, especially as they relate to cinema, are not that different, if at all, from the buisness studies environment
that my management want to foist on our pedagogical practice. maybe I'm an old fashioned romantic marxist but maybe, just maybe,
the psychologists are just providing an alibi for the new conceptualists of freedom...Long live the market! The brain is not a
machine and mind, well what about Bateson's idea that mind is what we collectively produce?
peace
