I’ve haven’t met ‘dialectic’ and ‘specificity’ in decades! I wonder if there’s a way of uploading a picture to say Google to ask “who is this Google Ma?’
I think I might revisit some of those old Marxist concepts; might be handy these days of gross exploitation and the reintroduction of serfdom and the lumpen proletariat....
The thing about the photo, Dilbagh, is that it says his name on the back.... I just bought it because it was a nice photo by Rodchenko not much caring who it was of.... what does that say about me?
If you’re not familiar with it already, then I recommend reading work emanating from Birmingham's CCCS (Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies - sadly now gone) and the praxis of Semiotics/ Semiology. We all consume stuff and non-stuff and the signs and symbols we gather and use give meaning to us or of us to others; and when we look deeper, things become even more interesting…..
