This post is VERY late, my apologies, but I thought it was still important to post and to work through some ideas from last week's readings
I think part of the reason I'm so late to post is that I struggled with this week's readings. Normally I might be confused (or a little bored) but I can atleast find some passage to latch onto or relate to my practice that particular week.
I struggled to unpack John Shotter's Agential realism, social constructivism, and our living relations to our surroundings: Sensing similarities rather than seeing patterns (That's even a whopper of a title!!)
In my Practice and Critique class we have been focusing a lot on "gestures", meaning the single sentence description of the most essential elements of a work of art. We have been examining our work and condensing it to these one sentence "directions" or "instructions" to understand it better, I do believe that Shotter touches on this concept when speaking about routine activities we perform, and how to stop and view them in a different light. He also uses the term "rules of procedure" which is another way of describing our definition of gesture.
