  • In the Partnership Explorations course at Landmark, we've been reading Michel Foucault's "The Order of Things". It's challenging reading. I've saved you the trouble, with this musical summary.
    On the chili pepper uke in honor of the SPICE Team (Special Partnership Inquiry Coursework Explorers).
    And ... it's an almost perfect twofer ... for Season 654 of the Ukulele, CHANGES! There is no more seismic change than that from one episteme to the next.

    And for Season 653 of the Ukulele, 1967, the Summer of Love. Michelle is from 1965, "The Order of Things" from 1966, but they would both have still been popular in '67. Close enough?

    Thank you for trying to make sense of the mystery of The Order Of Things.

      @@hands_on_lanzon Thanks, Chris! It took a while to learn the chords ... and then I took some liberties with the structure of "Michelle" to assemble my parody ... which made it even a bit more complicated. It's a work in progress. I have an idea to do this for the rest of the books in the course as well ... so I may refine this one later on.

    Oh boy, what a twisted web we weave when we talk about epistemology. Trying to understand words about understanding the world, which has to be done by… writing more words. And then singing about all of that!

      @@Debordlaughs Thanks, Bob! You really captured it in your comment. Reading the book, I distinguished that part of what's so hard about reading it, is that he's attempting to lay out the world of thinking in two previous epistemes ... and we literally do not have the capacity to think that way! It really breaks my modern brain, trying to grok how thinkers thought inside the Renaissance way of thinking. It's very hard (impossible?) to talk about a different model of thinking from inside the model we're in. Which is kind of the point of the Partnership Explorations course we're in - we're inquiring into how to speak and think inside the next episteme after this one!
