Fellows and Fellow Travelers:
For W's seminar, I am asking you to complete reading Sitas, VOICES
THAT REASON. I hope you are making use of that one page guide "How to
Read Critically." Please maintain a list of key concepts with your own
definitions of them. I'd like you to consider:
1. infraction
disoralia
anomie
functional asymmetry
transference
2. Why is Sitas interested in daydreaming? What does his exploration
of this process give him/his readers insight into?
3. On p.88 Sitas writes that he wants to "demonstrate the fragile
relationship between identities, selves, and survival"? What is this
relationship? Why it is fragile? What does exploring it provide
further insight into?
4. On p.107 Sitas writes of "the dissimilarity between power,
authority, and freedom"? What is this dissimilarity? What does
exploring it provide further insight into?
5. Sitas entitled his final chapter, "The Riddle of Traditions and
Diversity." What is this riddle? How is it relevent to your own project?
6. Go back and review pp.9-12. Has Sitas fulfilled his promise in the
purpose of the book? How is his study relevent to your own project?
Still seeking final RSVPs for W night (the staged reading of Carlyle
Brown's "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been...?" script about Langston
Hughes) and Th night (Great Small Works puppetry collective at Bedlam
Theater). So far, I have W night: Eboni, Peace, Amber, Tsione, Danni,
Carolina, Chris Scott, Peter R; and Th night: Eboni, Peace, Amber,
Carolina, Tsione, Jason and Aaron, Peter R. Speak up!
I will have readings on W to distribute to prep our engagement with
Picasso.
Love and Solidarity,
Peter
