Hi Peter,
what do mean 'mere performance' as distinct from a meeting of minds?
This is a reductive view of 'performance' imho, but we've been round that
garden once before and the duellers are still standing sprightly on the
yellowing grass.
If a text 'performs' alongside the reader's expectations and
interpretations then why do 'we' need protection from its strengths? I
don't get it. Unless it be that old chestnut of Jenny Holzer's "I embody
all that i most hate and fear" or some such. What is the fear and hatred
of?
love and love
