[Xmca-l] Re: Do we find Inequalities in wild life system?

[Martin Packer]

Annalie,

If I am understanding you correctly, then yes once one starts to pay attention to “the social matrix in which individuals find themselves and act,” a matrix which is prior to both subjects and objects (and I also have used Wittgenstein’s phrase “form of life”), than all sorts of interesting questions arise.

What happens when someone born and raised in one social matrix moves to another? What happens when people from two different social matrices come into contact? Can children born into a social matrix inhabit it differently from the way the previous generation did? What are the psychological consequences when one social matrix comes to suppress or dominate another? Does everyone within a social matrix develop into the same kind of person? Aren’t there inequities and exploitations within a social matrix? 

Martin

Adding to that, the inter-cultural historical – intersubjective life from within multi cultures and their interaction. For example, people live forms of life without fully understanding its political origin (they use and live it, and were born into it) and are thus co-creating from a different cultural state than the generation/people who originated it; or, there are suppressions of historical forms of life (cultures) by one dominant culture; thus inter-cultural survival entail injustices - trying to live up to dominant forms from marginal positions.
