TEACHSOC: Re: Stories we tell- fiction in the classroom

[Del Thomas Ph D]

Do not confuse the studio with a stage..... or all art as performance    Do you claim that music is fiction...... What instrument do you play?  Do you claim that all concerts are lectures?

As a fiction writer, painter, and photographer I take exception.  While artists were among the first scientists.... painters doing light experiments and working with structure........ musicians ....are into the application of theory and testing....... They are not fiction........ they have their own place.....the studio.....sociologists can learn from that as an alternative to the lecture ...... If the performance of music--classical, jazz, bluegrass, rock, you name it--isn't in your "sage on a stage" category, I don't know what is.  Concerts are lectures by another name.
