On Teaching/Writing A primary set of concerns I have as a writer, and to some extent as a writing teacher, are the ways place or a sense of place affords writing. Anthropologist Clifford Geertz writes of place as being “experience near” and writing as “experience distant.” In attending to place and our relation to place, is it possible to make what is necessarily “distant” “near”? To articulate a relationship to a particular place, questions of language and the origins of that language arise. Does place give rise to the human voice, articulating its experience? Response, recognition, communion, difference. Is possible to imagine a geometry describing the relation between speaker and place, speaker and moment, a physics of that conjunction? |
