[HENRY SHONERD]

Hi Mike,
I am having the same problem of integrating “along and across threads of discussion”. I have been a lurker, so I believe you are mixing me up with someone else. Did it have to do with the discussion between Phillip, Helena and Martin? I am not even sure what a “figured world” is, though I tried to find out a little while ago by googling. I came up with something in discourse analysis with mention of Gee. I wondered if your work in the 5th Dimension is relevant.
