The blog I'm maintaining with Kurt Stuke (also a DA Student). Between Tl 600, ED 5010 at PSU, I've been allocating myself toward Kurt's Bog recently since the highlight of the blog is him running a marathon on Mt. Desert Island (hmmmm on the day of your wedding, is it 10/18?) and Grace and I will be over there the week before and that particular day there celebrating our 40th.)
Interesting. Or I may not remember your date correctly? However....below is a post by Kurt recently. May be relevant to things we have going. Once we get over the hump with his IS I know I'll be able to think about the great stuff you are posting here.....

Reflection - Bourdieu
I feel pulled to Bourdieu's thoughts as a result of our recent transactions...
“A work of art has meaning and interest only for someone who possesses the cultural competence, that is, the code into which it is encoded.”
“A beholder who lacks the specific code feels lost in a chaos of sounds and rhythms, colors and lines, without rhyme or reason…he cannot move from the ‘primary stratum of the meaning we can grasp on the basis of our ordinary experience’ to the ‘stratum of secondary meanings,’ i.e. the ‘level of the meaning of what is signified’, unless he posses the concepts which go beyond the sensible properties and which identify the specifically stylistic properties of the work.”
Truth seems impossible; meaning seems illusory .
