Thanks for supplementing and expanding my somewhat overly-logicked
analysis (or potential analysis)!
I think your reference to the issue of _tempo_ is very important
as a dimension of the shifts of moving in and out of different
stances and activities. Bourdieu long ago pointed to tempo as
a key element of the dynamics of human activity that is not
captured by structuralist or synoptic models. I have always remembered.
Yes, of course, the role of Others present would be quite important,
as you say, especially Daddy as number one feedee in the new activity
round. Had it not been possible (materially-cum-socially) to 'feed'
Daddy as Arne had fed Bear-doll, the sequence of activity might have
taken yet another turn.
All this would be easier to imagine with the video, of course. Here,
I suppose, we are just imagining possible tools for thinking about
these sorts of phenomena.
Many thanks for hauling me up to the concrete! JAY.
