Notes on Cant XVI
Aug. 30th, 2013 12:10 amLet me put it this way: if it's:
-- all about being 'invisible'
-- or even more often, 'having your voice unheard' by the 'hegemony' of the 'dominant [insert snarl word] paradigm',
-- all about language, imagery, symbolism, and representation;
-- all about 'discourse' rather than resources;
you probably ought to take care before tossing the word 'privilege' around. These, by definition, are the concerns of well-educated and well-fed people in reasonably comfortable chairs.
