Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus vs fluxus

[Don Boyd]

Anne, Another analogy or perhaps two.
1 Analogy to academia;  In the visual arts there is resistance on granting 
equal stature to the Master of Fine Arts degree with the PhD. Same amount of 
years of study, etc. The difference is one is VERBAL the other is Visual. 
(Like the difference between women doing the same work as men- they don't 
get equal pay. (Visual artists don't get equal pay with PhD's) I proposed a 
solution-
Grant all practicing MFA's an honorary PhD. Do you think that will ever 
happen? After 35 years of teaching I finally arrived at a school that gives 
equal pay, but now I'm an adjunct. Ha!

2 Analogy to religion. Did we rename Christians anywhere in history? Are the 
disiciples ranked higher in heaven? (Maybe by we left here on earth, but not 
in heaven! This applies to all religions I think) -Don
