Have lately been thinking a lot about the notion of equality. This came out of a conversation I had with Liz Whitehead as part of our planning for the residency. For one thing she was describing to me the potential of the animateur's role to challenge any institutionalised aspects of the way that things are done at Fabrica. She was also telling me about running workshops so that everyone can be a participant. This set me thinking about equality. I got a glimpse of really understanding what equality means. You know that difference between understanding something intellectually and kind of 'getting it' from the inside out, which involves a different kind of understanding which happens in your whole being rather than just in your head.
I wonder if there is a connection between the incommensurable banner and these thoughts? I suppose there must be. And I suspect it has something to do with the depiction of death. I will think about this some more.
I've started a new (freelance, part-time) job and it has taken up most of my time this week. And my thoughts. I keep longing for some really free time to let my thoughts roam.
'Sans commune mesure' is the French for 'incommensurable'. Without common measure. I'll try and decipher what it is Rancière says about this and let you know . . .
