okay. so i may be jumping the gun a little bit (what is with all of these military metaphors on this blog?), but i do think spring has arrived in somerville! good thing, too, because my coatzipper is broken and my elbows need to bend freely, without mountains of layers.
it appears spring will be wonderful here--crocuses (is that the plural?) are up, daisies sprouting and lilies on their way. yum!
and, of course, it is my spring break...wahoo! i am just gearing up for this week's paper--i know, you're waiting in suspense. here's what i'm thinking: what would it mean for sodak to have a memorial museum to native americans in the vein of the holocaust museum? what kinds of memories? what is the relationship between collective and individual memories? how much should and would shame figure into something like that? and guilt? is there a possibility of good and bad shame? guilt? what would the goal of something like this be? to inspire some sort of action? simple awareness? what should the goal be?
also following closely are questions about who the audience is; who should be allowed to make final decisions about the format and how information gets included or excluded. i will have to think carefully about how and if to include these questions. funny...so often i am making decisions between broader questions and more detail questions. this is just one more example.
any thoughts or ideas are more than welcome. also, gushing over spring expected!
paz, k.
