Dear Honor
Since you pick up my sayng...
talking about a "quiet" list must not make one think about lack of =
discussion.
It just means a more tense attention on main issues.
This does not take away space from debate, just calls for more strict =
issues.
For a more focused exchange.
By the way when is the meeting going to be ? and where?
Please make a proposal
Saluti

at the risk of sounding overly libran, i think what's needed is a =

also, regarding this thread about terminology: call it nostalgia, but i=20

concept of 'europe', which even someone who is not strictly 'european',=20
like myself, can relate to. once explained (as in the memorable and=20

'deep oceania' while writing from tasmania. like 'deep europe;, 'deep=20
oceania' is a zone with osmotic borders and no fixed territory.
personally, i think these terms are still relevant.

i think we as cultural workers, artists and thinkers can contribute to =

debate, by bringing with us past experiences of working in 'deep'=20
situations. i think the concept of 'depth' in relation this new list, =

our future ruminations, has got a lot of 'weight' to it ;-)
best
