Lawrence O’Connor on Chapters 32 and 33 for #UMRG

Lawrence O’Connor wrote to me: “[My summary] was to have loads of illustration and music, I wanted it to be as poetic as my experience of the text but underestimated the task so it is speech only.”

His wonderful audio summary (using his actor’s voice) is available here:

Lawrence also provided two links as reference: Behind the Banner and Why I Hate School But Love Education.

He would like us to think about the following questions:

• In what ways do you experience being free/not free from ‘fragmentary specialism’ to enjoy being a ‘nomadic gatherer of knowledge’?
• What are your experiences of the ‘literary’ and ‘artist’ roles?
• What are your experiences of engagement in the War of the Icons? Can there be a neutral position?
• What are your experiences of your ‘armour being abandoned’ to create more weapons?
