the ontology that needs to be sought is the ontology of the image itself, i think. and not ontology of a 'reality' outside the image. how one reads the image is related to history of representations itself, isnt it?

But we quickly tend to conflate unpalatable images with lower caste/lower class and vice versa, when there is no tangible or ontological evidence for this in the images. Second important question that I raised is this: is it possible to utter politically correct jokes? I guess these are questions which need answers. At the same time all jokes need not be palatable to us. I was just questioning the rational with which people jumped at the humor of these particular images in the thread. -- James Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
