Theorist Shmearist

(Note: This was supposed to be posted yesterday it saved as a draft instead) So this assignment's got me thinking.... what's the deal, Bruner. Are you telling me that every single encounter I have with the world is indirect? That's crazy talk. But then again, the man has a point. I've been racking my brain trying to decide whether there is one standard happening for which all people have the same interpretation. For most instances of the world, though, the different perspectives of an audience give rise to how particular things can be viewed in different ways. Maybe that's why I'm not a Studio Art or English major. I like it when there is an algorithm to arrive at a standard answer, which is why I'm a more science-oriented kind of girl. Language arts opens up a whole new spectrum of subjectivity that is specific to tone, style, syntax, etc. You never know if you really "got it" when you hand in a paper, or even a reaction for a piece of artwork. Who would have known that Bruner's ideas mediated my life track.
