3 questions for discussion, monday march 8th

Critical Vehicles- Krzysztof Wodiczko

1. Have you ever been in a situation where you were the stranger who used a transitional object in order to create shared zones of experience with a non-stranger?

2. The article calls women the first "Sophists" because their memory conceals and discloses sources of knowledge and philosophy for creating social space as de-alienating space...sophists refers to those with wisdom....Do you agree with this arguement?

3. The article discusses immigrant utopias as a hope lived in the present, where they have to create a present day utopia to avoid perpetuating painful experiences...Could this possibly create anxiety or sadness if the hopes dont measure to their realities?
