Let me see if I can summarize the discussion on Django: Basically, the argument is on whether (and to what extent) Django is part of the problem or part of the solution. I think it's both. But that's because no true solution appears ready made as an external object imposed on the problem. Instead, true solutions emerge out of the problems themselves. In other words, a piece of the problem grows into the solution.
The thing about works of art, small or big, influential or insignificant, is that they are separate and apart from their creators, and thus bound to mean different things to different people. I think that, on a list like this, the sense in which Django is part of the problem, is kind of obvious. The interesting thing is to discover the ways in which this particular film contains elements that question, indict, and inspire the subversion of the very society that made it possible. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
