In the TED presentations we saw the other day – Derik Sever’s piece about thinking differently, or Theo
Jansen’s
definitions of “alive” and “creatures” and “animals” being dependent on how they are defined – the
implication is that with your mind and your words, you’re taught (by culture or terms) to see things in
a particular way. Keith Barry’s TED presentation “Brain Magic” implies that he can manipulate your
perception based on how he knows you’re thinking – he’s a mentalist and magician, so, yeah, that stands
to reason.
Please read, “Making Systems of Privilege Visible” by Stephanie M. Wildman with Adrienne D. Davis,
available through that link or through your FI reader.
From these disparate texts, what idea can you take and apply to your own writing and research process?
What do they tell you about the way that information is produced?
