Comment on Fantasy Palace, Iqaluit, Nunavut June 27, 2002 by Kate Pullinger

Hello –

I came across your blog while doing research for a story about a girl growing up in the Arctic. I’m involved with creating a series of multimedia short stories aimed at secondary schools here in the UK. They’ll be published next year by Rising Stars, an educational publisher. We are looking for photos of Inuksuk High School and were wondering if you might have any, or might be able to direct us to someone who would have photos that we could use in our project (not images of people, just buildings).

Couldn’t find an e-mail address for you. Mine is included in this reply.

best – Kate Pullinger

Hello!
I also loved this book! Do you know Paulo is launching this experiment where he is inviting his readers to adapt the book to the screen?

Comment on Zygmunt Bauman: Theorist of Postmodernity’s Ethical Turn by Maureen Flynn-Burhoe

What an amazing topic for an ongoing robust conversation! Do you have three sources to feed into such a discussion? What are your own thoughts on this? Fundamentally the dichotomy is situated in the realm of legitimacy of knowledge claims pitting religion (and a loose folksonomy or tag cloud of faith-belief-ideology-subjectivity ???) against science (with a tag cloud of evidence-based facts, research, questions-objectivity-???). Where does “humanism” fit in this conversation? Who decides what is “good” or “bad” for humanity? (the universal values question)? How inclusive is the “we” of a concept such as “humanity”? Is it only a “secular humanism”? How does Bauman’s more recent research (for example into 20th century genocide) refine, develop and/or contradict Comte’s theories historically situated at a time when the complexities of xenophobia, racism, cultural diversities and the shrinking globe were not profoundly acknowledged?

August Comte vs Zygmunt Bauman
The Religion of Humanity vs Analysis of anything that is “believed” via a “sociologizing” process for the good of humanity.
