Re: [-empyre-] what needs to be done (Skills For Participatory Culture)

Dear Aliette,

It is hard to understand your post - as my google translation does not
do justice.

To clarify - the text was not proposed by Trébor - it was taken from
the end of a link towards <http://www.projectnml.org/node/308> : New
Media Literacies a project at MIT.  It may be interesting to view the
entire text - it begins:

HISTORICAL EVOLUTION

Ancestor: Oral Culture
Residual: Print Culture
Dominant: Mass Media
Emergent: Participatory Culture

I had thought that the conclusion of "what needs to be done" by this
group could be a helpful aside to our conversation.  Yes - it is a
point taken out of context, but towards a "curiosity for a myriad of
cultural and critical practices" as Christiane Robbins suggested:

Beyond this -  I believe that we can adjust our practice of "Art and
Education" by examining the different ways educational contexts have
developed - we can listen to many points of view about the subject of
learning.

I think it is sometimes helpful to display information like this with
an undefined context - or slightly dislocated origin.  In my view, the
disconnect allows for open situations where parallel ideas can be
merged.  It can be useful to confuse information.

Is this the education of the parents?  Yes.  Must we not always
encourage the education of the "parents" along with the "students" ?

Sorry again for not being able to understand your post - if you are
able to highlight some questions in english, I will be happy to
respond.
