I hadn&#39;t thought of drawings but it&#39;s a great idea.<br /><br />I&#39;m getting started with more serious propaganda here, I just printed and put up some posters + put em on the school&#39;s website:<br />http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9093/imagefl.jpg<br />http://www.gerritrietveldacademie.nl/en/<br />... and keep telling people about it.<br />I think I&#39;ll make new, similar posters as soon as some other reports show up, maybe not as anything super serious but just promotion.JULES ESTÈVES/AMSTERDAM/NLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12098651496871642356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034836145681089480.post-57285109014686694862010-02-16T19:32:11.615+01:002010-02-16T19:32:11.615+01:00Hello Jules, <br /><br />The idea of sharing our readings as well as sharing our thoughts, drawings and notes on it, excites me a lot. <br />I&#39;ll do mine soon, I&#39;m finishing Rancière&#39;s emancipated spectator, and I have some notes as well...<br />I&#39;m looking forward to send you something in return to what you gave us.<br /><br />Thanks a lot <br />(that was actually the main purpose of my email)<br /><br />SophieSophie Demayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02850581645447422076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034836145681089480.post-68349273388413882062010-02-16T01:12:52.779+01:002010-02-16T01:12:52.779+01:00I totally agree with you concerning the parallel library, it&#39;s a kind of good project because easy and seductive. I really like your idea to continue by creating Parallel reading reports, and really hope that some of us will do it. I&#39;m checking my notes, and will try to post something soon, quite hard to find something understandable and interesting for others at the moment...<br />You say that you didn&#39;t read yet The ignorant school master, here are the two quotations I prefer (sorry in french): <br /><br />« Bref, il savait ce que la volonté des individus et le péril de la patrie pouvaient faire naître de capacités inédites en des circonstances où l’urgence contraignait à bruler les étapes de la progression explicatrice. Il pensa que cet état d’exception, commandé par le besoin de la nation, ne différait pas en son principe de cette urgence qui commande l’exploration du monde par l’enfant ou de cette autre qui contraint la voie singulière des savants et des inventeurs. A travers l’expérience de l’enfant, du savant et du révolutionnaire, la méthode de hasard pratiquée avec succès par les étudiants flamands révélait son secret. Cette méthode de l’égalité était d’abord une méthode de la volonté. On pouvait apprendre seul et sans maître explicateur quand on le voulait, par la tension de son propre désir ou la contrainte de la situation. » (p. 24), <br /><br />« Connais-toi toi-même ne veut plus dire, à la manière platonicienne : sache où est ton bien. Il veut dire : reviens à toi, à ce qui en toi ne peut pas te tromper. Ton humilité n’est que paresse à marcher. Ton humilité n’est que crainte orgueilleuse de trébucher sous le regard des autres. Trébucher n’est rien ; le mal est de divaguer, de sortir de sa route, de ne plus faire attention à ce qu’on dit, d’oublier ce qu’on est. Va donc ton chemin. » (p. 98)<br /><br />Quoted from J. Rancière : Le maître ignorant, cinq leçons sur l&#39;émancipation intellectuelle. Saint-Amand-Montrond, Éditions 10/18, 2006.<br /><br />I don&#39;t know what to think about &quot;anonymity&quot;, most of the time I don&#39;t like this idea because I find it close to the &quot;blog comments&quot; you can find on the web, being afraid that something you don&#39;t sign is open to the best and the worst... but it&#39;s a choice, and it may be interesting in the sense Barthes wrote &quot;La mort de l&#39;auteur&quot; (the death of the author), considering that the cohesion of a text was not in its origin (the author) but in its destination (the reader). Let&#39;s see what happens!<br /><br />link to the death of the author:<br />http://www.ubu.com/aspen/aspen5and6/threeEssays.html#barthesSamuel Bonnethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09240735301359758421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034836145681089480.post-54926584583717220452010-02-15T23:02:07.217+01:002010-02-15T23:02:07.217+01:00Nice, thanks :)<br />These are actually the things I ran into earlier but it&#39;s good to see these images again. I might just read the text linked in the Pdf then, and make a reading report to post here, unless anyone of you read it already!JULES ESTÈVES/AMSTERDAM/NLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12098651496871642356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034836145681089480.post-90286803566459600662010-02-15T13:58:57.833+01:002010-02-15T13:58:57.833+01:00I haven&#39;t actually read the prospectus of the invisable university either but recently I found these:<br />http://www.morganstudio.co.uk/2005/01<br />/invisible_unive_1.html<br />http://www.morganstudio.co.uk/2006/05/invisible_unive_2.html<br /><br />these are no longer available on the actual john morgan&#39;s site but lost in some back rooms..<br /><br />useful?Pedrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697073396729234254noreply@blogger.com
