This seems to inherently be a problem of atomistic, individualistic thinking (or possibly "small group" thinking). Might I suggest that people add Paul Willis' Learning to Labor to their syllabi in the coming years (seems like Willis fell out of favor with the turn of the millennium)? A notion of "cultural adaptivity" might be useful as well but one needs to have a vision of the socioeconomic scape into which the culture is adapting. Thus, if it is possible to get a dose of Marx in there, it might help to at least give people a way to think about larger social structure and how the culture of the local group (a 5th dimension, no?) is in a dialectical relationship with the larger social structure (call it what you will - global economic system, late modern capitalism, globalism...). This type of thinking is not an easy point to get across, but it provides a vision that can transform the world.* -greg *I leave it to you as to whether the transformation is of an individual's view of the world or whether it is a transformation of the big bad world that is beyond any of us as individuals. >Message: 3 >Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 17:24:15 -0800 >From: mike cole <lchcmike@gmail.com> >Subject: [xmca] return of culture of poverty >To: "eXtended Mind, Culture,Activity" <xmca@weber.ucsd.edu> >Message-ID: > <AANLkTimnRTrYOBn7JRATJbf8WLyyjxwgoE3z7vyeWZUY@mail.gmail.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 > >This topic is, indeed, coming back in a big way. >mike > > >End of xmca Digest, Vol 66, Issue 7 >*********************************** __________________________________________ _____ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
