Just thinking a little more about the objectification of our subject allowing us to become detached viewers, and that also the subject becomes the object to apprehend...This is from the book I'm reading now
"If anything, the every day function between people and things, reminds writers both of the literary potential of objects and the material limits of subjects...Contemporary inquiry on the subject/object dialectic then to theroize subjects and to historisize objects. I have elected to follow the lead of the writers themselves [Keller,Dickinson, Freud and Proust], treating objects as viable philosophical subjects and subjects as tenable material objects" pg 16.
"Still the question remains , what connects the interior furniture of houses to the interior furniture of minds?"
From 'A Sense of an Interior- Four Writers and the Rooms that Shaped Them', Diana Fuss, 2004
This above text also reminded me of an engraving I saw once when St Francis of Assisi (the engraving was 16th Century I think) and he is at a table with animals, like he is conversing with them...well obviously, but it's a really lovely image.
Is how we could describe the provider/user relation, the public/private relation in the project?
