Breaking the Bowl of Clay The Dynamics of Representation— Contexts of CulturalSituation(s) Dialectics, Social Transformation and Value

Abstract

Charged times require calm contemplation. The greater the din made by the forces of hate, the deeper the need for poetry, song, philosophy, for pursuing those questions that disturb the assumptions to which we cleave(?) The outpouring on the internet and in the media postGujarat, is the uprising of precisely such a desire to think, rethink, speak out again and again, in the name of our humanity, or to draw on spiritual vernacular, our Divine potential.. . Death can and must provoke us to see clearly and live fully. Even in the deadliest hour truth can reveal itself.
