APELC Class Notes
Objectives: APELCers 1) processed a correspondence, and 2) processed a correspondence.
We completed the process of the King text today which led to our continued examination of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which we will complete next class. Several of you asked about the differences between theology of the Nation of Islam and that of true Islam: Dig this comparison at the Nation of Islam entry at Wikipedia and the chart at Beliefnet.
Trevor opened first period with a narrative of his visit to the Guggenheim with his folks over the Rodeo break. What he described defies logic (and, I would add, aesthetic or educational quality), and so I found this review that you might look over as you consider the questions “What is art, and what service does it provide in culture?”: “Tino Sehgal’s work proves that talk is cheap”.
We briefly discussed the epistemological and metaphysical consequences of the post-modernism that informed the art installation Trevor experienced, and later in the day I happened to come across this article which might inform the brief back and forth we enjoyed this morning in class: Warning: Your reality is out of date”.
See you next class. After we conclude our conversation with Malcolm X, we’ll head to the liberry for research.
Peace.
