The Monster Nash--happy halloween for 15 more minutes
I'm up to my hazy eyeballs in odd dissertation connections and numbers-- I'm starting to scare me........
I just wrote myself this email:
-----------------------------------------
1. Bridges and tensions...TENSION muthafucking bridges...
OBSERVATION of PARTICIPATION--Tedlock--bridge opposition between objectivity and subjectivity, sicentist and native, self and other
7TH MOMENT as BRIDGE-- Denzin & lincoln bridge metaphor 00 see pg. 3 of response 2 of qual research
CYBORG as BRIDGE--also bridge of the cyborg -- pg. 10 of response 2
ONLINE DIARY AS BRIDGE to the not-yet-told stoires (pg 7 on response 3, Richardson) between private-public, work-play, and coporate-persona dichotomies of MacIntyre's modern life splits.
Richardson's 5 soiciologically significatn ways time is narrativized:
"everyday" -- daily activities/tasks......TO DO LISTS
"autobiographical" -- relates past to present....WHAT CAME BEFORE and NOW
"biographical" -- links between generations thru their stories...GRANDPARENTS?
Cultural" -- larger cultural framework w/ issues of home, community, society and human kind...????
"collective" both my story and the story of other...???
Richardson's 5 criteria for Artistic Endeavor
1.) substantive contribution
2.) aethsetic merit
3.) reflexivity
4.) impactfullness
5.) express a reality
VanMaanen's 3 categories of ethnographic writing:
--traditionalist
--confessional
--impressionist
(types overlap & continuum works better)
What makes a good story???

all those numbers....
have me reeling.
Numbers and patterns and connections emerge, flash, receded.
It's like I'm all John Nash fucked up.
jeebus i need to go to bed.
ps---john nash has the same birthdate as my youngest.
which is weird.
and they're 78 years apart.
and 7 + 8 = 15 = 6 which is june's number
and 6 x 13 = 78
aww...yeah...i'm all fucked up.
