we spent some time yesterday working around the idea of dialectic
of opposing forces
of conflict
Its at the heart of drama, but, as Harry said
does it help us invesitgate complex social forces, or does it simply perpetuate dualities
and prevent our conversations from being truly multi-voiced...does it harden hierarchies
rather than make space to consider power differently?
A question-
can you name an instance in the modern history (small h or big H) of community growth
when conflict was seemingly about opposing forces
but was solved, or opened up, by the realization that the probelm wasn't simply a duality...?
