Pedaogies for the Depressed

My Pedagogical Challenge

Students used to the protocols and

discipline of cerebral rugby, noetic

football, say, come to my courses

conditioned and  naturally expecting

that same environmental rigor and

challenge and I offer intellectual

tiddleywinks, tennis anyone?  Ping

pong? Calvinball maybe.   Alice

in Wonderland Croquet. Emerging

Phenomena.

Ice cream in hell I like to call it

with no injustice to hot or cold

except they come biased toward

&  used to hot hot hot. Most like

it hot. Please: turn up the heat,

Sam. Make us sweat.   

Environmental Issues

Frame Discourse:

Talk that talks about cerebral

and affective  environment,

overall collective frame of mind,

implicit & inherent attitude,

transparent in the invisible sense:

that which impacts and influences

and shapes protocol, custom,

social bias and prejudice, back

ground and context as opposed

to figure and text, media and

means as opposed to message and

content and subject-matter:

meat puppetry, so to speak:

the dance we dance given our

house band & its tunes
