http://artandcrap.com/ensayos/ursula-k-le-guin-being-taken-for-granite/ Ursula K. Le Guin ~ Being taken for granite I appreciate this text because of its simple but really precise way of writing, in between colloquial language and prose poetry, using rhythm and repetition, playing with words. I like the way Le Guin thinks her mind, body and mud through matter and translating it into word-matter, using humour while taking it really seriously. I also like the way it is built, like a 'loop', starting with "Sometimes I am taken for granite." and ending with "Do not take me for granite". It' giving me this impression of forming this object 'text', reminding me of the way the object 'book' was described in The New Art of Making Books by Ulises Carrión. I am now thinking how to have a permeable and porous way of apprehending research through the medium of writing, and how to talk about science while staying sensitive. | ||
