Let Me Count the Ways

Dear Colleagues: consider gen-ed as radical
supplementary alternative, antithetical and
antagonistic to Protocol and Pedagogies of the
Majors/Minors curriculum  (in these days of
exciting change, turbulence and turmoil.
)  


    Liberal Art
(gen ed: not to be
   collapsed with the liberal arts etc)

         Local Food Provocations
        generative notions for syllabi:
     each one a course of another collar

1.The problem of trying to be provocative
and provoke is you may actually provoke.

2.“‘All Cretans are Liars,’
   says Epimenides the Cretan”

3. “Welcome to my Inn.” says Procrustes,
host with the  most. “ I’ve got just the
right bed for you.

4. A profit is a scandal in it’s own community.
    A saint is a pain in it’s ass.

5. What crawls on all 4’s in the morning.
Walks on 2 legs at noon and 3 in the evening?

6. “Eureka,” shouts Archimedes and runs naked
down the stree. Later, “if I had solid ground
I could lever the universe.”

7. “Here, let me fix that!” says the Devil to God

9. “Let me make one thing perfectly clear,”
said Richard Nixon a lot.

10. etc etc etc--open paradigm: add provocations.


Note: the context (gathering to consider) is the text,
not the text. Text is token for context which is the
figure of the course rather than the background. 
Makes a difference that makes a difference.
