The New York Times has a readable, if not informative,
review of a recent controversial account of history —
"For many, it exists in a kind of liminal state,
floating somewhere between fact and mythology."
— Jonathan Mahler, online Times on Oct. 15, 2015
[See Wikipedia on Liminality.]
Mahler begins his review with a statement by the President
on the night of May 1, 2011.
A more easily checked statement quoted here on that date:
"The positional meaning of a symbol derives from
its relationship to other symbols in a totality, a Gestalt,
whose elements acquire their significance from the
system as a whole."
— Victor Turner, The Forest of Symbols , Ithaca, NY,
Cornell University Press, 1967, p. 51, quoted by
Beth Barrie in "Victor Turner."
A Gestalt from "Verhexung ," the previous post —
Guitart's statement that the above figure is a "Boolean logical cube"
seems, in the words of the Times , to be "floating somewhere
between fact and mythology." Discuss.
(My apologies to those who feel that attempting to make sense
of Guitart makes them feel like Vin Diesel in the Dreamworld.)
