Frame Discourse (learning and teaching issues cont.)

Dear Colleagues,

Accessing and Scanning Noise
always the mother of News.

My scholarly ("leisure") research:
a Stochastic Practice:  Shooting
Arrows of Prompt or Provocation
like Jody Foster's salvos of radio
signal  transmitted in hopes of
striking a target & responsive signs
of intelligence out there. .
 
     Frame Discourse
 
A professional phrase indicating
talk that talks about how the talk
might be going on in some given
context: community, say, or family;
its environmental frame of mind-
set, parameters, thermostatic range,
tolerances, boundaries; FD addresses
something like an invisible hand: tacit
assumptions & controlling metaphors
normally implicit and unnoticed:
transparent in the no-see-um sense…
 
(not to be confused with normal discourse
re devilish details doing this and that and
taking care of the business as usual: house-
keeping and production, assessment and
evaluation: GetRDone-ness)
 
…until we call efficient attention to IT,
phase shifting collectively to consider the 
frame-of-the-game going on  de-toxing 
transparency: reflecting noetic/affective
structures that, sphinx- like, rule & regulate
transactions the way style &  fashion dictate
tolerances toward pain of tattoo & body
mutilation as  Environmental Frames of  Mind 
sanction what recently signaled  nasty  boys,
sailors & circus  freaks &  the ubiquity of
bottled water, back packs and tiny helmets
for small sidewalk roller skaters.  Etc. Not
to mention  the transparent  frame-shifting
effect of an  I-Pad et al. ..
 
Frame Discourse: a form of environmental,
repentance, mind “turning back” on itself
tending to the  boxes & bubbles, brands &
shapes  that form its surface activity & product,
the deep grammar & eco-logic of Community
Converse-Action, de-moralizing and disillusioning:
consummations devoutly to be desired.
 
Confessional as opposed to Professional.
A good thing.

xxxooo, Presbyter
