Tale / Kovitz's Instruction

Kovitz uses pig farming as a vehicle.  His tenor is utopian planning through Fourier.  We need to figure out a vehicle and tenor for out accident space using Prezi, in much the same way that Kovitz uses pig farming and the concept of utopian planning. 


Kovitz Pig City Model Farm creates meaning from the reader's interaction with the text--the reader's ability to make associations that extend beyond images and text.  This space is the event space, and, in this space, he states that social planning is wrong.  He states that "what is good in pig farming is bad for society" (class notes).  He frames something old within a new order of logic.  This is how the consultant report--our final Prezi presentation--will frame its meaning.  The concept of the document itself--its basis in literacy--will shape something new out of the old logic (using a new logic).  Our Prezi presentation will represent writing from the position of electrate logic.

Class Notes

• The Prezi presentation will represent our experience of the collective agency of which we are a part.
• We need to get at the entelechy of the accident.
• We have to receive the notice of the problem in the world through the apparatus that allows us to notice it.
• The accident is a sign that shows us the relationship between technics and culture.
• The measure of the world is given there.
• What is the regularity; what repeats in the accident?

General Economy & Restricted Economy

The accident space has a general economy and a restricted economy: for every need, desire, or drive, the culture we move and act through satisfies that need (class notes). The restricted economy consoles/satisfies public need, but, with this satisfaction, comes death, injury, social problems, etc.; the factors that constitute the general economy. The general economy used to be the sacred economy--the holy, the terrifying, the celebrated (class notes). If we are going to have an economy that includes losses, we have to acknowledge them (class notes). In society, there is a "massive denial and rejection of the general economy." We don't deny that there are accidents, murders, deeply ingrained social problems, etc., but we refuse to take responsibility for them, logically or otherwise (class notes). This is a disaster. "As consultants, we can say that this is not very rational. As a culture, civilization needs to address this (class notes). The role of the EmerAgency/exhibit/consulting report is to "notice this reality. The accident is not an anomaly--it has to exist.

INSTRUCTION

In Prezi, we need to evoke this dimension of insight that is neglected. We need to try to articulate and understand what the accident as sign and figure is about by exploring its semantic potentialities. We have to place ourselves in the event position and receive the sign; ask ourselves what it is saying; examine what it can say; and find out where we can go freely and where we wouldn't usually go using the inference principle of conduction. As we explore the accident space, we need to look for an area where we can jump to turn the logic in on itself and say something else. This jump is the tenor. We should gather the potential in the accident site, and the turn or jump we find will represent the moment of epiphany, which, once found will be the light speed moment we spoke about at the beginning of the course. This moment will traverse the span of time associated with our accident and express the new moment/the new logical space all at once.
