]]> Comment on Compost: Birkerts & Patchwork Girl by doctorshelley http://kad21.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/compost-birkerts-patchwork-girl/#comment-13 doctorshelley Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:43:46 +0000 http://kad21.wordpress.com/?p=64#comment-13 very interesting--i agree: birkerts should love the 'message' of PG, if only he could get through the medium: because it seems to be very much about making ourselves through reading and writing. for the essay, quoting jackson or hayles to elaborate how multiple links relate to meaning (hayles' notion of distributed cognition) should help. very interesting–i agree: birkerts should love the ‘message’ of PG, if only he could get through the medium: because it seems to be very much about making ourselves through reading and writing. for the essay, quoting jackson or hayles to elaborate how multiple links relate to meaning (hayles’ notion of distributed cognition) should help.

That seems to me to be evident in Patchwork Girl: it is story, amplified. i wrote in my glog this week about how much Birkerts seems afraid of the process of writing/reading and also the public nature of reading/writing in a wired world. do you think Birkerts would find Patchwork Girl too public, not private enough? a great response to the reading–i particularly like the point you demonstrate that Patchwork Girl seems to be about composting; nice connection with Natalie Goldberg, the person I steal the metaphor of ‘composting’ from. there is a point I recall from Girl, Interrupted: that the kind of illness or ‘crazyness’ she was confronting and exploring is not the absence of meaning but too much meaning–I think she writes it’s ‘you, amplified.’ That seems to me to be evident in Patchwork Girl: it is story, amplified.
