I wasn't that clear, apologies - I'm not sure all humans do have agency - it depends on what's meant by this of course. If agency means to affect change in a particular direction, this just isn't the case; if it means to be able to act, however limited, than we all do; Speer's twitching in Spandau comes to mind.
The best art teaching I've seen (and hopefully articipated in) was Lutz Presser's in Tasmania, and David Askevold's at Nova Scotia; in both cases, they/we assumed the students were already artists/agents, and treated them as such. So making art became a cooperative effort - sharing techniques when needed, but not imposing anything. And believe it or not, everyone rose to the occasion. It's as if nothing was taught at all but everything was learned. It was astonishing. - Alan == email archive: http://sondheim.rupamsunyata.org/ webpage http://www.alansondheim.org music archive: http://www.espdisk.com/alansondheim/ == _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
