places from no to go

an non place in my understanding is a place of transfer, transistion.
when cities grow the street as a place of life and communication transforms to the place of transport, transfer.

this talk suggest transforming it back and a way of trying it.

although, accepting the permanence of change, means accepting that one's location is always in a non place, somehow.

muku jam session

friday december 1. jam session in der alten gerberei in st.johann in tirol.

very little ... actually no jazz at all, it is pop cover and blues, mostly guitar players.
but a great venue, nice poeple and if someone is in the mood even jazz is possible.

margaret mead ... for the future

i took "coming of age in samoa" from the pile of books to be dumped in our library and read it sometime later. As remote, copyright 1928, samoa, as this seams ... it was not !

Chapter 13. Our educational problems in the light of samoan contrast, tries to get a view on ourselves from outside.

Chapter 14. Education for Choice ... simply the title says it. Education is showing and offering choices.

Next up was

Margaret Mead - Contributions to Contemporary Education by Kate Maguire

A Springer brief, means short and concise and a lot of followup reading.
Describing Mead's picture of postfigurative, cofigurative and prefigurative cultures.

• Postfigurative means post the figuration phase of a culture, living on like the elders.
• Cofigurative is teaching the siblings to live in a changing world.
• Prefigurative means, no one knows what will come, what will work. So parents and teachers, the middle generation, needs to find the ways together with the peoples of tomorrow, their kids, maybe still unborn.

and then "Culture and Commitment" from Mead ...

maybe call it heritage of the future.

onto retreat ... red read

next tuesday we, gishi-sam-me, do the session opener in diewilderin if ... things, times and else are stable till then.
motto: rain

the red books are feldenkrais, long since i bought them, rereading. trying to find hints how to go on, although optimistic is another world. but not seeing what is means going wrong.

all the best
