and slowly transforming into genre-knowledge, that there are many ways
to communicate knowledge and many ways to reconstruct & claim knowledge,
and many ways to deny/suppress/refuse knowledge -
the question is not how do people learn, but what is important for
folks to know? This changes in different settings. I think it
would be presumptious to think that "learning" is the area of
intervention,
when clearly the issues are more complex than "learning"
but are about actively engaging with existing knowledge structures
in critical ways.
Personally, I think local communication is more important at this phase of
history
than a global communication.
And out of these locally-organized networks, global information emerges.
I suppose I see it as something which must come out of the
process, not something to be imposed upon a process.
