Polanyi seems to be wondering -- what if all meaning is not text -- can never be remade as words -- and yet still be necessary to do certain jobs -- or create certain effects.
For example - the monitor of the Polanyi listserv is concerned with how to train patients to operate some of the complex medical devices they must take home with them. And then we might ask -- what are the kinds of meaning that can -- or cannot -- be remade with words? William wrote: "Now I wonder if all meaning is text. No words, then no meanings. Not even with visual art or the performing arts. Which raises another question: Can sensations be echoed by images and sounds (as in cries or music) that have no meaning until remade as words (with a necessary loss)?" _____________________________________________________________ Click to shop and compare great deals on new vehicles. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2211/fc/Ioyw6ijmy2cvJ3rWXPci18sC57zRV4 EGmsg2S5KJA2OM8DDDRwXfrW/
